The pretense that It is for the poor man the
city Of Houston should own an electric light
factory is mere humbuggery, The poor man
uses kerosene. --Wallisville Age.
Come over here and say that, Uncle Danl.
II you dare,
Tho Waco Times Herald is thorn in The
Houston Post The Post was once orthodox,
hut has of late years been much given TO
heresy. --McGregory Observer.
You mean n gnat. don't you? But in what
respect has The Post been "given to heresy?'
Please designate Indeed. The Post has too
much respect for the uianlness and fair deal
ing Of Editor OBrian to believe that he will
take his cue from tho clumsy political mas
querader at Waco in night on this paper.

Tho Tyler Democrat Reporter observes that
hundreds and thousands of bushels Of fruit
have gone to waste In East Texas. There is
no doubt Of the truth OF this. Many hundred
bushels Of fne fruit have gone to waste Just
simply because there vs. not sufficient Indus
trial organization. We intend to keep peg
giug away at this important matter until
every farmer In this county will feel safe in
marketing his Observation-Disclosures Press,
The organizations o, fruit and truck grow
way of creating better markets, and the good
work along that line should be kept up. The
waste spoken Of by the Press. however. will
never be entirely prevented until canning
factories are established at every important
producing center The factories at jackson
vlllo and other points did big business dur
ing the past season and what has been done
at these places may be done at other places
IN the fruit belt.

crop OF troubles, cash payments and taxes
they ever had In their history Boerne Post.

The negro charged with criminal assault
in Akron, Ohio, who caused so much trouble
by the mob, was finally brought into court
by tho officers, tried, convicted aud sentenced
TO the penitentiary for life. all within Ave
minutes after he entered the court house
He had been indicted by a special grand
iury, and no pleaded guilty to the charge
llt was quick work by the court, and the
only defect was that the negro should have
been sentenced TO death instead OF life i'm.
lpriscrment Such quick work. II kept up
will forestal tho occasion for mob violence =
Sherman Register
| Exactly. As soon as the element OF which
mobs are composed Is made to believe thai
the law will properly punish all wrong doeri
irrespective OF race. color or condition. tina
element will no longer have the slghtes
excuse for taking the law In its own hands
Then. II mobs attempt TO interfere. there
will be but one way OF dealing with them
A few more convictions like those of the
Humphries lynchers at Palestine and thai
OF the negro at Akron will do more towart
putting an end to mob violence than all Other
causes combined.
