who has ever known me from a child
is ready to rise up and give that at
tack its proper appellation. .
The attack is go offensive and base
that It spends its force of its own cor
ruption .and only reveals Dr. Rankin
as utterly .unworthy of the place he
holds as the editor of the great paper
of Texas Methodism."
HOGS VERSUS COTTON.
RANKIN AND McLEMORE.
Rev. George C. Rankin editor of
Home and State at Dallas and Jeff
McLemore editor of State Topics at
Houston are engaged In a wordy' war-
fare. They are scraping the diction-
aries with fine tooth combs to find
words vile enough to say about each
other. : If -half of what they say about
each other be true then both are In a
bad way.
Dr. i Rankin in some way manages
to keep up a continual fight with
somebody. In 1906 he made war on
Dr. T. H. Morris formerly pastor of
the First Methodist church of this
city and in the last Issue of State
Topics . Editor McLemore quotes the
following from Dr. Morris in answer
to an attack made on him by Dr.
Rankin:
'The provocation Is very strong here
to utter some more scathing words in
reply to this most scurrilous and ut-
terly false attack but I pave .ever
deemed such utterances out of place
. even though perfectly trae. I .shall
leave Dr. Rankin the full enjoyment
of his low vile methods of controversy.
I can not stoop so low to reply to him.
My life and character stand forth in
a perfect refutation of such base
charges. The pnly wonder to me Is
that Dr. Rankin did not charge me
with running a blind tiger in a back
alley of Bonbam and a gambling hell
lit the study of my church. The latter
statements .would have been as true
as the first. Truth and justice seem
to be unknown quantities with the ed-
ltor Of The Advocate. Every person
The Eagle editor saw a Brazos coun
ty farmer In Bryan a few days ago
with a nice lot of home-raised and
home-cured bacon and hams. . He Bold
it out as fast as he could weigh it up
at 20 cents a pound for the bacon and
25 cents for the bams. He could have
sold a carload at these prices.
What does that mean Mr. Farmer?
It means that a' 200-pound hog would
bring as much as a bale of cotton. It
also means that it did not cost half as
much to raise the hog as it did to raise
the bale of cotton. It also means that
it cost practically nothing to kill the
hog and cure the meat while'every
bale of cotton means $13 for picking
$2.50 for ginning warehouse charges
insurance etc. and when the whole
procedure is wound up there Is very
little left.
It also means that the hog farmer
instead of having to work day and
night on his cotton has plenty of
time to look after his feed crops and
in the fall he fills his barns with corn
cats sorghum peanuts peas hay and
other feeds. The cottpn farmer on
the other hand is forced to spend
every cent of his cotton money for
feed and then go in debt at the stores
for his bacon and other supplies.
The lesson Intended to be conveyed
by this article is that there is money
in tther things besides cotton and
that all-cotton farming will Impoverish
any country on the face of the earth.
On to the Brazos or bust!
POINTED PARAGRAPHS.
Many a man lies while standing up
for himself.
.
A man's opinions may be heavy and
still carry no weight.
'
It is human nature to bhime others
for most of our meanness.
Anyway the average woman hasn't
the cheek to raise whiskers.
It doesn't advance a woman when
she puts herself before a mirror.
Yon can sometimes tell a wise man
by the smart things he doesn't say.

Sh in n wIrp elrl who can train ud
a rich uncle In the way he should go.
Miimh nt that which Is called "uure
cussedness" is nothing but human nature.
A woman doesn't consider the wear
ing of diamonds vulgar unless she
hasn't any.
An easy way to flatter a young
woman Is to tell her she doesn't eat
any more than a bird.
.
Anything that a dry goods box
statesman doesn't know about politics
isn't worth knowing from his point
of view.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
The people at Waco are calling for
Hon. Waller S. Baker to enter the
race for attorney general. At Cors'i-
cana they are calling for Hon. Richard
Mays. Men are hearing the call every-
where yet the old Biblical truth
should 'not be lost sight of that "many
are calledand few chosen."
The long string of cars standing on
Bryan street every day loaded with
feedstuff should be an overwhelming
argument and object lesson to our
farmers to plant every Inch of avail-
able land in feed crops of some kind.
Taft still has about twice as many
instructed votes as Teddy and con-
tinues to look like a winner.
