The Democrats of Georgia in Conven-
ton have expressed themselves in no un-
certain tones as to whom they prefer as
the nominee of the Democratic party for
President The convention unqua1ifedly
endorsed the candidacy of Judge Alton B.
Parker, of New York, and Georgia's dele
cation to the national convention was in
structed to vote for him so long as, in
the opinion Of the majority of the delega-
ton, there is a reasonable probability of
his receiving the nomination, The unit
rule was adopted and the Georgia dele
gates will vote solidly upon all questions
before the notiona1 convention.
To the action of the convention. no
Democrat can make objection. The
friends of Judge Parker were in the ma
jority, and the convention was decidedly
for him. However, nothing was done that
was calculated to embitter any Democrat
who may prefer some other candidate
for president

{. A. Easterw0od Received Fatal
Injuries at Fort Worth.

AS the result Of injuries received
in the Texas and Pacific yards at
Fort Worth late yesterday evening
Charley Easterwood, formerly of
Waxahachie, died las. night at St.
Joseph's infirmary.
The accident occurred at a street
crossing and It is supposed the un-
fortunate man was run down by the
switch engine as be was crossing
the street. When found by the yard
crew Easterwood was under the
wheels of a car in a badly mangled
condition. In addition to several
injuries on the body his right arm
and right leg were badly mangled
The remains were brought to

SCHOOL BONDS SOLD
A New School Building is Now
Practically Assured.

1t is now practically assured that
Waxahachie will have "a new school
building before the beginning of an
other school term.
AT the special meeting yesterday
afternoon OF the county commits
sioners an order was passed author
iEing the investment OF SIS 900 of
the county's permanent school fund
in WaxahachIe school house build
ing bonds. The county Judge and
county treasurer were appointed a
committee To negotiate the deal with
the city. This action of the com
missioners leaves remainder of
81 OOO of this issue of bonds, which
the county hopes TO be able to take
by the time the money is needed by
the city. Just as soon as all the
formal details of the transfer can
be uade the county will lake the
bonds bought yesterday and deposit
the sum of SIS, 900 to the credit of
the school building fund.
The election to authorize the is
suanee of these bonds was held last
spring. Before the bonds had been
printed the matter of disposing of
them to the state had been consider
ed and 1t was generally understood
that the state would take them.
However, by the time the bonds
reached here from St. Louis the
states funds for purchasing bonds
had become exhausted, and the city
was left without purchaser. Sew
eral attempts To sell the bonds have
since been made, bnt every effort to
dispose of them proved a failure.
New that a buyer has been found
and q deal eonsummated the next
step Ia be taken will probably be the
awarding '0f the contract for the
erection of the building. The plans
and specifications we're approved By
the council aud board OF trusted
last summer aud It is supposed they
will be used without any changes al

MYTH OF THE MisTIETOE-
Customs Surrounding the Plant Are
Relics from the Druids.

| The custom connected with the missile.
toe at the Christmas holidays Is relic
OF the days OF Druidisnl. handed down
through a long course OF centuries. In
the religion Of the Drulds the mistletoe
was regarded with the utmost venern-
ton. though the reverence which they
paid 10 il seems TO have been restricted
TO the plant when found growing on the
oak tree. Oaks were the sacred trees
Of the Druids. Whatever was found TO
grow upon them was regarded as sent
from heaven and therefore set apart for
devotional observance. At the period Of
the winter solstics the ancient Drtiids.
with men. women and children. sailed
forth with great pomp and rejol,1nzs to
gather the mystic parasite. which. In
addition to religious reverence, was be-
heyed to possess marvellous curative
powers.
When the oak was reached on which
the mistletoe grew two white bulls were
bound to the tree and the high priest
o, the Druids. clothed In pure white. as
capded. and. with a golden knife, cut the
sacred plant. which. as Il fell. was caught
By another priest IN the folds Of his
spotless white mantle. The bulls, and
sometimes human beings, were sacri-
feed Various festivities then followed.
In which the mIstletoe thus gathered was
divided into portions and distributed
among the people. who hung up the
sprays over the entrances to their dwell

sylvan deities for the season OF frost and

The Girth or Man Increasing.

An excellent illustration OF the value
of records has been afforded lately re-
garding the question OF physical degen'
eracy. A firm In the north OF England
has compared the measurements for
clothing made two generations ago
with those OF today, the results going
to show that chest and hip measure
nents are now three inches on the av-
erage more than they were sixty years
ago. The same conclusion is reached
by the experience OF the ready-mads
clothiers. These facts. whatever may
be their generality. do not quite dis
pose of the question OF degeneracy.
They are what we should expect from
the more abundant and cheaper food
of the people, their better housing and
improved sanitary surroundings. but
the testimony regarding the unftness
Of recruits aud progressive lack OF
stamina In town. and especially manu-
featuring. populations cannot be disre-
garded- The girth Of man may be in
creasinz. but. Ike fatting hog. Is not
corpulency bringing clumsiness?
