BILL TO ESTABLISH
COMMERCE DEPARTMENT
Measure Will Probably Be Re-
ported to House This Week.
Belief That 1t Will Pass and That Sec
retaIy Cortelyou Will Be Placed
at Its Head.

The bill to establish a Department of
Commerce which passed the Senate sew
eral months ago will probably be reported
to the House This week by Chairman Hep
burn. OF the Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce.
For several weeks hearings were had on
the bill by Chairman Hepburns commit
tee. and all the witnesses examined, many
of whom were Government officials, testi
fed to the Importance of the measure and
the need for such department.
The committee has carefully considered
the bill. and has made many important
amendments which were suggested during
the hearings. In addition to the Senate
bill several bills of like character were
introduced by members of the House and
referred 20 Chairman Hepburn's commit
tee. II is because of the House bills. the
authors OF whom wanted to be heard by
the committee. that the matter has been
held up.
1t is said that when the Department OF
Commerce bill is reported Chairman Hep
burn will ask the Committee on Rules to
report a special order for its considera-
tion. The bill is indorsed by the Presi-
dent. The gossip around the Capitol Is
that. IL the bill becomes a law at this
session OF Congress. Secretary Cortelyou
will be appointed as the head OF the new
department 1t is also stated that pro-
vision will be made for a Department of
Commerce building.
Bureaus to Be Added.
Among the bureaus which will be con-
solidated in the new department are In
terstate Commerce Commission. Census
Office. Bureau of Statistics. Bureau of the
American Republics. Coast and Geodetic
Survey, Geological Survey and Weather
Bureau.
Representative Ryan Of New York has
also brought about the incorporation in the
bill of provision for an insurance bureau
which will have general supervision OF life
ard fire insurance companies. The feature
Of the bill will be framed after the system
now in effect in Germany and France.
Many of the greatest manufacturing con-
Germs in the United States have petitioned
Congress for the early passage OF the bill.
They say it will develop foreign markets
for them. These manufacturers are also
petitioning Congress to pass bill reor-
ganizing the consular service and provid-
ing for the payment Of salaries sufficient
to induce men Of character and energy to
enter the service.

ANNUAL TEXAS LETTER.
An Interesting Letter Written by

Tyler, Texas.

AS | wrote a year ago, II am

Convention, and sit down and pen

meeting" or words to that effect,

The meeting this year was at
Waco, the home of our great Bay
lor University. In many respects
it is an ideal place for such a
gathering. There were present
1900 messengers, with as many
visitors likely, and accommoda-
tions were ample for all. There
is some thought of locating the
convention at Waco. There are
not more than a half dozen cities
in Texas, and it is State of
many cities and large towns, that
can entertain such body. All
messengers and visitors, except
missionaries and the secretaries OF
our boards, pay their own hotel

lately visiting old friends and
school mates at Caseyville.
Rev. r. J. Boone, an honored
ex-pastor of our church (Topisaw)
and Bro. j. Frank Greer, who for
several years agone served us as
church clerk, were welcome Wis

The WSpeIIing Bee"

The spelling bee" of last
Wednesday night at the Public
school brought out an interested
audience and eighteen contestants,
after much ''exhorting" on the
part of the captains, DR.. Bennett
and Mr.. Kohlman, were found
willing to sacrifice their personal
pride of knowledge and of spell
ing to the interest of the occasion.
Mr.. NJ. d. McGrath very grace
fully and considerably dealt out
the contents of Webster's blue
back, until only one was left tri-
umphant. Mrs. B. T. Hobbs and
Wade Summers were the two last
remaining; and, finally, after
evincing unusual alertness and
aptness at giving letters in their

and the S. in gold was awarded his

Tom Garner Captured at Mccomb.

McComb, Miss, Nov. 29.-This
morning at 1915 City Marshal F.
M. Lee walked into Ray Har-
vey's livery stable and called for
a fast team and driver. They
drove directly to the house of
Tom Garner, who escaped from
the penitentiary some time ago.
About mile out of town Lee
told Hudspeth, the driver, that
he wanted him to stay with him
and not to lose his nerve, for he
was going after Tom Garner.
On arriving at Gamers house,
Lee got out of the buggy, gave
Hudspeth pistol and told him to
watch outside while he went in:
side. He entered the house
through the front door and walked
through the house to the kitchen,
where he found Garner cutting
up a hog. Lee covered Garner
with his Winchester and told him
to get ready to go with him.
This Garner did without having
anything at all to say, Gamers
wife, however, making consider
able protest about his being taken
without being given any show,
and she objected seriously to his
being taken to McComb, but Mr..
Lee paid no attention to these OBJ
jections, hurrying all the time,
having no time to lose, for he was
going to catch the noon train for
Jackson.
On the return trip Garner stat
ed that he had a motive in coming
back home, which, however, he
had failed to carry out.
Lee took his prisoner to Jack
son on the noon train.

CONVENTION NOTES.
In many respects the meeting
just ended was the greatest in the
history of the State. There was
not a divided vote on any ques-
ton, and the meeting was much
like at revival meeting "the Sec
ond week" from beginning to
close. Shouting during a sermon
or speech was no surprise at all.
This is ''old time religion" and
good enough for anybody.
During the year $4,000 was
raised and expended for State
Missions alone. The State Board
reported all debts paid, and bal
ance on hand for the new year.
During the year the board raised
for all mission purposes about
$125,OOO. J. B. Gambrell was re-
elected superintendent of missions
and the work ordered enlarged.
During the convention there
was raised for our Orphans
Home, SIS, 900; 1914, 900 on the en-
dowment of Baylor University,
and some $4,000 for other pur-
poses. One of the most inspiring
and touchingly beautiful things
in the convention was the sponta-
neous and glad giving. sit is
more blessed to give than to re-
ceive," found repeated and over
whelming illustration-just think
of shouting and a collection going
on at the same time, and the col
lection being the occasion of the
shouting! Would not the reader
love to be part of such a scene?
Some. time since John d. Rookie
Teller offered Baylor University
$35, 900 on condition that Texas
Baptists would raise $125, 900 by
Jan. LIST, 1904. When the conven-
ton closed, we only lacked $50,
900 of meeting the conditions.
This, too, when crop failures in
large sections of Texas the past
three years have been the most
disastrous ever known.
Another very notable feature of
the meeting was the old time mu-
sic, led by choir of $50 voices.
A panorama of Mississippi faces
passed before me as the old
hymns, to the old tunes, rolled
heavenward. Some of these faces
rest beneath the sod, others care
worn, are, | hope, about the

Sunday at II a. m. am told E.
C. Mcconnell, of Atlanta, Ga,
carried a great multitude to the
very mountain tops. Having
been appointed to preach at
another church at the same time,
I count myself to have lost ire
mendously by not having been
present. / enjoy the fact that
my association, organized four
years since, is the banner associa-
tion of the State, and the two la
dies societies of our church are
the banner societies of the State.
Our Young Ladies' Auxiliary
gave the first year to benevolent
work more than 81, 100, and the
aid society more than 81, 700.
The church has given about $6,
900.
Prohibition went into effect two
weeks since and the change for
the better is marked, even this
soon. The buildings used for sa-
looms are being fitted for legiti-
mate lines of business. No one,
except liquor .cranks and soaks,
think the city will be hurt by
the change. No business that does
not contribute to the production
of wealth can help any town. Tt
is lamentable that some business
men, are too stupid to see this.
