in spite of the inclemency of the
weather the grand formal open
ing of the j. Hansell Wood Shoe &
Clorhing company III, l22 and 1913
South Fourth street was very largely
attended today from early morning to
the time of our going to press and the
indications are for very large attend
ance up to 9 O'Clock tonight, the hour
of closing, SO that despite the weather
the opening Of this great firm today
may be classed as one of the most
brilliant and most successful openings
ever seen in Waco. The weather
was perhaps an advantage for it was
so gloomy outside and so pleasant
within that to escape from the gloomy
street into the cheerful store was bit
likeistepping out of purgatory into
paradise SO dreary was it outside
and so cheerful within. j. Hansell
Wood, while strictly thorough going
business man, is man of warm social
instincts and these crop out pleas
ingly even in his business relations.
This makes his openings peculiar and
pretty. In the opening today his
social instincts were given full play
with the effect of some special features
seldom seen in openings and as pleas.

of light from a legion of white and
colored lamps and was warm as toast
and hence most grateful to one step.

ly pretty, both in the great store win

OF that was the impression created on
all visitors that the stock of goods in
the new store is the most complete
ever seen here. .s.The very superior
quality of the stock is evident in all
departments.
The new stock of goods which the
Hansell Wood Co, offer to the public
is one to attract attention and it did
attract attention all day. Whoever
bought the goods got the cream of the
market. The vast array of business
and dress suits, the childrens clothing,
the neckwear, underwear, mats and
caps and all else seem all the best of
the kind, neat, tasty, we'll made and
tony. There is no suspicion of sho6-
dy about anything, and that is the i'm

of those who inspected it today, and

won last year. The opening will con.

ladies to whom the company extend
hearty invitation. They will be es-
pecially interested in magnificent
line of childrens outfits as we'll as
other goods.

tion OF the negroes of Bichmond IN cclebra-

sdered, and attention was called to the prob.
able effect of its repetition in the future upon

shown in their attitude towards the interest
OF the negroes IN this community. The crit
cism OF our correspondent was entirely appr0-
pirate as there is not the same reason 10 ius-
THY the negroes in celebrating the evacuation
of Richmond as there s in the case of The an
niversary of their emancipation. We
have been informed on good M
thority that the celebration a few days AGO
did not have the approval OF the mostrespecta-
bic element of our colored population. and
that il was participated in ONLY by theid.e and
evil disposed. Wew.ll hope that theIespecta-
ole element will hereafter exercise sufficient
control over all the individuals of their race
IN the city as 70 render impossible a repetition
OF the celebration which took place last Mon
day. Such an event can only inHct harm
upon the interests OF every class oil tue colerel

A PRIMARY FOX DELEGATES TO THE
CONNENTfON.

The writer remembers very we'll when the
first primary was held in Richmond il was
directly after reconstruction times and the
people did not understand it. and it therefore
did not q well. The writer remembers some
one asking in the newspapers who invented
the thing anyhow: and suggesting that
the inventor should be treated as thoy
treat "a man III Arkansas who gets
euchred on o lone hand They fringe his
coat tail and lead him around town. SAID ho
Nevertheless the primary showed that it had
so much equity and fairness in it that it grew
in favor. and soon secured place in the TO-
gard OF the people from which it can never
be now dislodged.
Ii IS the true method for ascertainng the
wishes and views Of the majority Of party
just as the regular election is the true way ol
ascertainine the wishes and views of the ma
jonty Of the whole body of the people.
We are now through with the primary for
city Offices Let us then. at once take up the
matter of primary Tor selecting delegates 10
the State convention. Let us have primary

ton Of Mr.. Cleveland shall be voted for and

pie themselves declare which Of the TWO they
want. Then all shall know which Is the popu-
lar choice.

titles of their intercessions, such as god

Dean swlft,. Rcmarl,nbIe gue.s.

One of the most remarkable guesses
on record was made by Dean Swift, who,
a century before the moons Of Mars
were discovered, made CULVER say Of
the astronomers of Laputa, They have
found two satellites which revolve
about Mars, whereof the innermost is
distant from the planet exactly three di-
ameters OF tine planet; the former re-
wolves in the space of 10 hours and the
latter in 21IS hours" In fact the inner
moon is 10000 miles from Mars, where
as-the diameter Of the planet being
1900 miles-Gulliver' estimate would
place it at $4,000 miles.
For the outer moon he gives 10000
miles for the distance, which is really
$1,000 miles. The time of revolution for
the inner moon is actually ~ hours and
for the outer one 80 hours. Professor
Hall has named the moons Deimos and
Phobes, after the attendants of the god
Mars, who are mentioned in Homer's
"Iliad. "-Providence Journal

Unlike most other countries England
has repeatedly been governed by for
eigners, who thought so little of their
people that they did not even take the
trouble to learn the language of their
subjects Most of the Danish kings
knew no English, and if William the
Conqueror. William Rufus and others
knew the language they kept the fact to
themselves.
The early French kings, in fact, re-
garded England as conquest and
France as their home. Richard /, for
instance, spent but few months of the
ten years of his reign ON English soil.
In modern times George ] neither knew
nor cared to learn English, and George
II spoke 1t very imperfectly,-St. Louis
