Issue says:
Every man who has looked into the mater
says there is no possible chance for cannin;
factory to prove other than success IN
Beaumont. The demand for the product of
such a factory is demonstrated by the quick
ness with which the concern at owe as
posed of Its entire output to a Houston
wholesale house and the Wholesale grocery
which Ia to be established in Beaumont early
the coming year Will doubtless purchase the
entire output OF cannery II one should
be operated here. In addition to profits dl-
rectly from; operation cannerY would fur

IL ceptive for development OF that industry
a demand for suburban acreage property
would naturally arise and the increased num-
Der OF truck farmers and their families would
create greater temand for dry goods, cloth
ing shoes hats, groceries, farming imple-
ments. in fact every line of business IN the
city would be benefited to some extent. These
facts are not new, nor have they been cor

tor. They are apparent to every one who
occasionally burdens himself with thought,
and still there is no canning factory In
Beaumont.
The Houston Post displays an eloquent In
dignation against the mere suggestion OF
law in New York state putting the. appoint
ment OF police commissioners for New York
city In the hands of the governor, and yet,
II the chronicle Is not In error. the gov
ernor 81 Texas now names the police COM
missioners for the city OF Dallas and II
is believed in many quarters that the service
has been greatly improved thereby. A good
way TO head off boodlers sometimes is to
divide authority. -Cleburnc Chronicle

Jackson county will not put IN any com
munity exhibit at the Fruit and Flower Show
at Houston. The few who have interested
themselves In the matter have decided 10
abandon the effort. OF course, We may be a
little over enthusiastic and hence mistaken
as 70 what Jackson county could have done
IN the way OF an exhibit, but our candid
opinion Is that no county In South Texas
could have placed greater and better va
riety OF products on exhibition than could old
jackson. Believing thus, We very much re.
grot that our county will not be represented

IT Jackson county, with ifs wonderful re- !
sources and productive soil. is not repre-
scented at the Fruit Flower ana Vegetable
Festival at Houston next week it is surely |
making very grave mistake The cost OF |
aransing a suitable exhibit would be small. |
IN fact insignificant. when compared with the
dement's to be derived therefrom.
