The John B. Hood Camp of Con-
federate Veterans, at Austin, con-
ferred honorary membership on
Rev. D. E. B. Wright, a special
from the Capital City, gives the
particulars: "Dr. Wright has,
for over thirty years, been pastor
of the First Presbyterian Church
of this city. His first advent to
the State was as a Federal soldier,
an officer in command of a Nor-
thern regiment. Until recently
he had never addressed the Con-
federate Veterans of this camp.
In response to their invitation he
spoke to them at their late meet-
ing, and his remarks, throbbing
with the liner sentiment that has
developed since that greater in-
ternecine strife, through the clo-
ser unity of North and South,
made such forcible impression up-
on the old soldiers that they elec-
ted him to honorary membership
in the local camp."

In this great age. which will be
set out in future history as an
epoch of unparalleled learning, all
people ought to be interested in
the influences and instrumentali-
ties that have tended to bring
a')out this marked educational ad-
vancement. As Yale University
is one of the oldest, and as it is
one of the greatest, if not Tin:
greatest institution of learning in
the United States, it has doubt
less played no small part in pro-
ducing the present educated con-
dition; and, as it is such a factor,
the writer feels that all perstns
will evince some interest in any
facts re^ardir g it.
To begin in a historical way,
Yale College, now called Vale
University, was founded in Octo-
ber, 1701, by a few public spirited
and sincere ministers of Connec-
ticut. The original charter was
obtained from the colony legisla-
ture of Connecticut. One of the
purposes stipulated in the charter
was to found and endow a colle
giate school, "wherein youth may
be instructed in the arts and sci-
ences, who, through the blessing
of Almighty God may be fitted
for public employment in Church
and civil state." Elihu Yale,
of London, was one of the school's
e irly benefactors, and in his hon-
or the school was named. At the
present time over thirty-five hun-
dred students are pursuing stud-
ies in the various departments.
These departments are, Acade-
mic, Scientific, Law, Medical and
Theological; thus showing that
Yale is prepared to fit a young
man for any calling in life which
he may choose.
Yale is, in its make up, cosmo-
politan. Here you find mingled
together a student body gathered
from the four corners of the earth.
Each student brings with him a
truce of his own environment, his
home life and his own individual-
ity. Daily brushing shoulders
with such a varied class has a
great broadening influence. You
encounter the energy of the
North; the bluntness and straight
forwardness of the West; the
progressiveness of the East, and
the chivalry of the South. Stu-
dents have, for the time being,
gotten out of the main stream of
life, and they are now living in a
little world of their own; having
interests that are. perhaps, for-
eign to the world at large. The
environment, the traditions, the
habits which grow up around a
college, mould and shape the life
to be found there. When a boy
enters college he encounters a
life entirely new to him, it mat-
ters not whether he comes from an
humble home on a farm or from
palatial residence in the city.
They must both suffer the incon-
Druggist Takes
His Own Medicine
The man who sells remedies for most
of the human ills, and hears day after day
the opinions of people who have used
these remedies, naturally comes to know
the superior from the inferior, and
when the time comes that he has to de-
j citle on which remedy he will take, he
<>f course selects the one he has heard

venience of being only a Fresh-
man, as to matters of doing hom-
age and showing respect to the
upper classmen. They must both
pass through the freshman year
and learn valuable lessons in hu-
mility. It is here often times
that a boy. for the first time, has
to depend on himself; has to fall j
back on his own resources, and.
it is this fact that sometimes
makes the first year hard, but
none the less valuable. When a
man has completed his university
work, and starts out in real life,
he realizes that he is leaving be-
hind him a phase of life whose
counterpart he shall never again
find-all this is peculiarly true of
Vale. When a boy has gradua-
ted from Yale, when he has ex-
perienced and been influenced by
her surroundings and traditions,
there is placed upon him a cer-
tain indelible mark, a certain un-
definable stamp, that will stay
with him through life and be rec-
ognized wherever seen.
College spirit is a vague term
and hard of definition. To be un-
derstood and appreciated it must
be experienced. It is somewhat
like the love a person has for his
home town, except it is more pro-
nounced and intensified. \ ale
abounds in college spirit; her
graduates and students love the
institution and never lack in loy-
alty. When a boy goes into a
contest, whether it be football. 01
other athletic contests, or wheth-
er it be debates, or oiher mental
struggles, he forgets his own self-
ish ambitions and remembers on-
ly Yale, for which he must fight
and win this is the true college
spirit. Each year at commence-
ment time her graduates of the
past meet and have their class
reunions. At these times old men
are boys again. They visit the
old haunts and renew their old
friendships. Once again they sit
on the old Yale fence, indulging
in happy reminiscences, and mak-
ing plans for the betterment of
their Alma Mater. There is truth
in the statement, "Once a Vale
man. always a Yale man."
Yale's greatness is duo in a
large part to her democratic spir-
it. In this respect it has ro peers
among all the colleges. All divi-
ding lines are obliterated. The
rich man's son and the poor man's
son have equal chances; they
stand on the same footing when
it comes to winning honor and
distinction; moreover, the two
are thrown constantly together,
and often, become the warmest
of friends. At Yale it is never
inquired whether you have money
or whether you come from a dis-
tinguished family. Every boy
stands or falls on his own individ-
ual worth. It is this spirit of tle-j
mocracy which makes Yale so
popular with all; it is this democ-
racy that shall insure her a last-
ing place as the leader of Ameri-
can universities.

To the Citizens of Bastrop
County:
The 30th Legislature made such
sweeping changes in the laws of
this State relative to taxation,
and so many of our people have
had no opportunity of examining
the laws passed, that the under-
signed have thought it wise, to
call tb i attention of the tax pay-
ers to the .following provisions of
the law as it i\; w stands.
The Statutes beaVi'.ncr directly
upon the duties of the Tax As-
sessor, and the Commissioner's
Court, are as follows :
" Article .'d'i.'i That hereafter when
any peraon, firm or corporation renders
his, their or its property in this State
for taxation to any tax assessor, and
makes oath as to the kind, character,
quality and quantity of such property;
and the said officer accepting said ren
dition from such person, firm or corpo-
ration of junh property is satisfied ttiat
it is correctly anJ properly valued ac
cording tc the reasonable cash market1
value of such property on the market at 1
the time of its rendition, he shad list
the same accordingly out if the assessor
is satisfied that the value is below
the reasonable cash market value of
such property, he shall at once place on
said rendition opposite each piece of
property so rendered an amount equal
to the reasonable cash market value of 1
such property at tiie time of its rendi- '
tion and if such property shall be found
to have no market value by such officer,
then at such sum as said officer shall
deem the re;sl or intrinsic value of the
property; and if the person listing such
property or the o.vner thereof is not
satisfied with the value placed on the
property by the a a ;ssor, he shall so no-
tify the assessor and if desiring so to do
may make oath beforo the assessor that
the valuation so fixe I by said officer on
said property is excessive, then it shall
be the duty of such officer to furnish
such rendition, together with his valua-
tion thereon and the oath of such person,
firm or officer of any eorpor ition if any
su"h oath has been made, to t'ne com-
missioners court of the county in which
said rendition was made, which court
shall hear evidence and determine the
true value of such property as is here-
inafter provided; an 1 in this connection
it is provided that such officer or court
shall take into consideration what said
property could have been sold for any
time within six months next beforo the
rendition of said property.
Article ">124 The Boards of Equa-
lization shall have Dower and it is made
their official duty to supervise the as-
sessment of their respective counties
and If satisfied that the valuation of any
oroporty is not in accordance with the
laws of the State, to increase or diminish
the same and to affix a proper valuation
thereto, as provided for in Art. 5123, of
this Act, and when any assessor in this
State shall have furnished said court with |
the rendition as provided for in Article
5TJS of this Act, it shall be the duty of'
such court to call (Wore it such persons
as in its judgment may know the mar- j
ket value or true value of such property
as the case may be, by proper process,,
who shall testify under oath the char- |
acter, quality and quan'.ity of such prop-
erty, as well as the value thereof, said
court after hearing the evidence shall
fix the value of such property in accord-
ance with the evidence so introduced and
as provided for in Art. 1 of this Act;
and their action in such case or cases
shall be final.
Art. :)124-a. If any tax assessor in
this State shall fail, refuse or neglect to
> lace upon any rendition as provided for
in Art. 512.'i of this Act, thn true value
or market value in accordance with the
method of fixing such value 111 provided
for herein, or shall fail, refuse or neg-
lect to return ta the Commissioner's
Court such rendition together with the
oath of the owner or person listing such
property for taxes when such oath has
been made, as provided for in this Act,
or if the assessor accepts the rendition
from any person rendering property for
tvx.uion without reading to such person
the oath and having it signed and sworn
to as piovided by law, such failure, re-
fusal or neglect shall be deemed malfea-
sance on the part of such officer and
shall be cause for his removal from
office.
Art. 5124-b. Every t ix assess>r and
deputy tax assessor in this State in ad-
dition to the oath prescribed liy the Con-
stitution of this State shall, before en-
teung upon the duties of his office take
and subscribe to the following oath: ' I,
