Fort Worth paid eight cents
this week for another lot of hogs,
and still some people are afraid
to risk anything on a few hogs.
Waco had a $00,000.00 lire Sun
day; among the buildings de-
stroyed was the Masonic Temple,
built in 1875.
Harvesting hay and water-
wolons is claiming the attention
of a large part of our people
thesetimes.
A man who lias failed to make
a crop in this county this year
had better try something else
busidos farming.
Fort Worth continues to kil
several thousand head of hegs
and two or three men almost
evey day.
The Times doesn’t want,
to be importunate or worry peo-
ple for their business, but will
appreciate it all the same; don’t
forgot us when you want any-
thing iif our line.
Farmers are bringing in fine
stalks of cotton for exhibit these
days, all of which looks good
to us. The beet stalk we have
heard of was a stalk on O. B.i
Baker’s farm. He chopped it
down to bring to town, but it
was so heavy he couldn’t tote it,
so he pulled off a load of grown
bolls and brought them along;
th5 bolls were fine.
So far three men have been
heard from who announce de-
finitely that they are not candi-
dates for governor, viz., Dr.
Rankin of Dallas, Judge Grubbs
of Greenville, and Rienzi M.
Johnson of the Houston Post.
There are doubtless others in the
state who are not aspirants to
the place, but so far the three
named are the only onen heard
from to that effect.
Walter Patterson, a negro
charged with attempting a hid-*
eous crime against Mrs. Marvin
Cannon in Tarrant county plead
guilty in Judge Swayne’s court
at Fort Worth last Friday, and
was given 99 years in the peni-
tentiary by a jury after being
out thirty seconds. The penalty
was entirely too light; be ought
to have had his infernal neck
broken.
telling just
next year.
how things may go
Political lambs and lions are
forming new coalitions and align-
ments all over the state, and no
telling who will go to bed to-
gether next year.
A suit against the Texas Cen-
tral railroad at Eastland for
$5,840,000.00 for vialation of the
separate coach law, brought by
the county attorney of that coun-
ty, has been dismissed on the
ground that a county attorney
has no right to bring such a suit
except at the suggestion of the
attorney general, district attor-
ney, or railroad commission.
This dicision will doubtless meet
the hearty approval of the peo-
ple of Texas. From the very
inception of this suit it has been
looked on as a piece of graft.
Everybody that has traveled
about over this state knows that
the separate coach law is well
enforced. Possibly there have
been Isolated cases where the
law has been broken, but noth-
ing to call for robbing the road
or confiscating its property. Of
course if every little cheap John
officer all over Texas is allowed
to fleece corporations out of mil-
lions for fancied, or even real,
small infractions of the law, then
ndeed is progress at an end
n Texas.

tloed upon the unfortunate men
sod women whose liberty has
been temporarily or permanent-
ly forfeited. It Is the State's duty
to do that it can to reclaim them
to good citizenship where that
is possible, and the treatment of
prisoners should be so firm, and
at the same time so merciful and
considerate, that every ‘possible
avenue shall be afforded them
to abandon wickeduess and crime
O t course, such abusee as
may have crept into the
management of the penitenti-
aries are exceptional. Most of
the men are treated kindly and
not many of them are compelled
to work when they are ill, but
the inspection should be so rigid
that no case of injustice or bru-
tality shall stain the escutcheon'

And the people are demand-

to rectify as far as possible such j

Farmers used to move into
town so that their boys might
have better educational advan-
tages, but the idea these times,
at least with most boys, is that
they may enjoy better baseball
opportunities.
Throe men convicted of mur-
der in Kentucky, were given a
life te in in the penitentiary,
with ten years on top of that.
That is what you might call pil-
ing it up on a fellow.
t Fort Worth, Dallas and sever-
al smaller town are on the verge
of a water famino. All consumers
have been limited in the amount
they are to use, with threats of
being cut entirely off. if they vi-
olate instructions.
The Johnson county jail is said
to bo empty. That is a fine re-
cord for a county with a city like
Cleburne in it, to say nothing of
the smaller towns, and the main
reason is that they have prohi-
bition. Nothing empties jails
liko voting whiskoy out of a
place, a most excellent reason
for voting them out.
Clarksville has made no effort
to organize a booster club along
modern lines, and yet there are
perhaps about as many boosters
here to the square inch, as any
town in the state. Boosting has
been forced on the people here;
they really didn’t want to boost,
but things got to looking sogood
that they just couldn’t help it
The proposed million dollar
bond issue to build roads with
in Tarrant county, was defeated
last Saturday by an overwhelm
ing majority. The thing that
killed ft, especially in the coun
try was that farmers had got it
into their heads that it was a
move by those who owned auto-
mobiles, and the thing didn’t go
The newspaper construction
of the new whiskey law, which
went into effectJuly the fifteenth
is that a man cannot give an-
other a drink of whiskey without
breaking the law. Not having
seen the law we are not prepar-
ed to vouch for the correctness
of the construction. Wanting to
speak authoritatively on the
subject, we asked Bob Willians,
county attorney, about it, but he
had not seen the law either, and
so was not prepared to speak. It
is our opinion that no such law
wds intended.
The hot winds of the past few
days, have done considerable
dr mage to the corn crop. There
will be very little corn in the
graneries this year, and the
“poo’ hoss'’will have to eat fod-
der and forage for another year
It’s a poor wind, however,
chat blows no one some good,
and in this case, we have the
finest lot of broiled roasting
ears, a la carte that ever come
over the pike. When it is con-
sidered that our farmer:, can
raise cooked corn, ready to
serve, they undoubtedly will car-
ry off the pennant for intensified
farming. We expect to give a
corn feast in the nex few days,
and extend Ashley Evans,of the
Bonham News, a pressing invi-
tation to be present.— Mil sap

There will be a local option
election at our sister town of
Crawford today—Precinct No.?.
It is generally anticipated that
the precinct will vote to remain
dry, for it is believed the repre-
sentative people of the precinct,
or most of them, do not want
liquor sold in the precinct. The
editor o f The Tribune is an
Anti-Prohibitionist, opposed to
to local option for McLennan
county as a whole, but if be liv-
ed at Crawford he would vote
the dry ticket there today—Wa-
co Tribune.
Of all positions the position
taken by the Tribune editor
seems to us the most untenable
to use a mild term. Why sa-
loons are a good thing at one
place and a bad thing at another
we have never been able to see.
We can see why a man would be
an anti and we can see, as we
think, better reasons why he
should be a prohi but we can see
no reason why a man should be
one thing one place and another
at another place. And did you
ever notice that this class of rea-
soners always stand much clos-
er up to the saloon side than he
does to the other side. His po-
sition is generally indorsed by
the whiskey side, but never bt
the prohibitionists, by common
consent be is put down as an
anti at heart, but too cowardly
to acknowledge it.
Congressman O. W. Gillespie
of Fort Worth has always had a
hard time holding his office. He
has been elected four consecu-
tive times, and always against
strong opposition, and it seems
that next year Is to be no excep-
tion. Already Judge Tom
Simmons of Fort Worth is out

IR. HODGES’ TESTI MOREY
The testimony of Chaplain
Hodges before the penitentiary
investigating committee is not
conclusive, because in so far as it
relates to tne brutal beating of
convicts his information Tcarne
second hand. But the alleged
victims had stripes to show
to Dr. Hodges and stripes
are pretty strong circumstantial
evidence of flogging. We feel
sure that the committee is now
justified in making the most
searching investigation in all
these cases, despite the difficult
ty presented by the fact that
some of the alleged victims are
dead.
As humiliating as it would be
if it were proved conclusively
that the convicts were unmerci-
fully beaten, The Post would
not be in the slightest degree
surprised, for the maltreatment
of prisoners has been a common
vice in all countries, and we can
not claim that Texas guards are
more humane than those of oth-
er States or countries. A con-
vict will become provoking now
and then and guards will lose
their patience and wreak their
vengeance upon men placed in
their charge. That ia. human
experience ever since prisons
were invented.
But it is the duty of the State
to see that every guard guilty of
auce brutality ia summarily dis-
missed and some way ought to
be devised to punlt-h him. We
can not afford to have the bar-

The Mail Order Habit will sap the life of any town. On
this wo are all agreed, llow often have you read a plea for
the home merchant in your local paper and said “That’s
good doctrine—shoot’em again?” The next time you do
this, Mr^Businossman, go to your desk and see how much of
your printing was done by your local printer. To use the
same argument that is used for the home merchant, who
helps pay the taxes, who pulls for the home town all the time,
whom do you go to when you want to have a notice of some
important call published, or wheu you want to take up a
collection or raise a bonus? Is it the local printer oHs it
a house in I’aris, Dallas, Galveston, St. Louis or the Govern-
ment printing office at Washington where they run an office
at a big expense to all the jieople, and print at less than cost
for a few of the people? How would YOU like for the Gov-
ernment to lax YOU to support a store in your line, and then
sell to you customers at less than cost?
