Probably the lirst heir of an Afri-
can throne ever graduated from an
American college is So-Mayou. He
has just received his diploma from
Cobb Divinity School at Luwistou,
Me., and during the next year pro-
*
kill Hall, lie ought to have done so.
He tried to do so, but his pistol mis-
sed lire. He shot the scoundrel four
times but, unfortunately, did not kill
him. Kvery man who has a soul in
his body will agree i* ith roe that he
ought to have killed him. Hall is
still at large. He ought to he appre-
hended and imprisoned for life. If
the prosecuting attorney of Wood
county does his duty he will see that
the scoundrel is prosecuted and im-
prisoned for breaking ti-p Kimes'
home. I remit this line and costs
with more pleasure than any word
the Knglish languagcjfurni«lics me to
express. Kimes did what every man
would have done under the circum-
stances, except that he should have
practiced with a revolver or a double
barreled shotgivu, mo tli^t when lie
made the attempt he would have
brought Hall down. A villian like
Hall is unlit to live in a civilized
community. I repeat again, I remit
this line and cost with the. greatest
pleasure."
Never was more truth embraced
in words than in the following clip-
ping from the Navasola Examiner:
"Kvery dollar sent away from home
is a drain and a loss to the commu-
nity when the same need can be sup-
plied without sending abroad. It is
a direct blow at home enterprise and
build up the same occupation or pur-
suit at a distance that should be lo-
cally nurtured and encouraged. The
thousands of dollars yearly sent
abroad if retained in the home trade,
would afford increased facilities to
secure and retain material forces and
resources that would add to progress
and the general prosperity. It is not
economy, it is not wisdom. It is a
mistaken personal pride that in the
end affords no satisfaction or grati-
fication. Spend the dollars at home
where practicable, and help each
other. That is sound sense.
A system of electric plowing has
been worked out on a commerical
basis by A. Borsig, of Berlin. Over-
head conductors do not extend into
all the fields, hilt are tapped by tem-
porary wires laid on the ground. It
is possible with an electric conductor
of oOO meters and a plowing rope of
.'(Oi) meters working length to plow
acres from one center of opera-
tion. Mr. Borsig states that with

DELINQUENT TAX PAYERS.
Referring to the forccd collection
of taxes by suit under the new law
which takes effect on the 'Jlitli inst,
Comptroller Finley states:
Under the provisions of the law
enacted by the Twenty-fifth Legisla-
ture for collection of delin jucnt taxes,
the lists will soon be compiled by the
tax collectors of the counties, suits
will be instituted in the district courts
against all delinquents and their land
will be sold by the sheriff, under de-
cree of the court, to satisf) such un-
paid taxes and costs.
When suit is brought the cost of
court will become a serious burden
to the delinquent tax payer and when
property Is sold under the provision
of said act, it can only be redeemed
by payment of d utde the amount for
which it is sold ucluding taxes, in-
terest and costs.
Prior to sale redemption may be
made by payment of taxes with (>
per cent interest per annum and such
costs as shall have accrued.
It, is therefore of the greatest im-
portance to our citizens who may be
in arrears for t;i\es that redemption
be made at the earliest date possible
before the institution of suit and the
consequent accumulation of costs.
Attention is thus directed to the im-
portant inaiitor through the public
press for the double purpose, lirst,
with the hope that it may tend to the
collection of delinquent taxes, ami,
secondly, that many who may not
otherwise be informed, may tic bene-
fited ami avoid the penalties sure to
follow the institution of suit.
Lawyer D. M. IJelmas is slowly
bringing out, during the progress of
the Fair will case, the amount each
law lirm interested will receive in
fees. The several attorneys are cal-
