WHERE MILLIONS ARE MADE.
Interesting Letter That May Mean
Much to Residents of Will
mineton.

Probably there is not n reader of the
Evening Journal who has not heard OF
the fortunes made in the Beaumont oil
fields. While the tales of fortunes
quickly made are interesting, they are
really not half as valuable to our
readers as the following letter from l..
TX. Preston, president of the Caswell-
Preston Drug Company of Beaumont.
one of the largest wholesale and re-
tail houses i'm Texas.
Mr.. Preston writes Enclosed you
will find letter that came to us un-
solicited from ]. c. Reeves, no Pearl

eral years. He is a reliable man and
very happy over his fortune
About four years ago" writes Mr..
Reeves, Il lost the hearing in my right
ear and about three or four months
ago my left ear became almost as bad.
In fact, was so bad that people had to
shout at me to make me hear. had

A Silly ATTACK.

n ME Of the leading Democrats Of
~ the state who has been honored
by the people by election to AN import
ant office, said TO the editor Of this
paper last night that ne had known
Preston Lea for years; that he was a
man Of the highest integrity and that
'he hasn't am Addcks bone in his
body" Yet that Democrat Is doing all
that he can to defeat Mr.. Lea, as he
has a right 10 do,
The point is that here IS a Democrat
who hopes for the success Of his own
party who is yet generous enough to
tell the truth about an opponent. it
is sufficient to say that he is not Of
the type Of Peter j. Ford. The latter
has attacked Mr.. Lea in a manner that
win make votes for the Republican
candidate. Mr., Ford takes from the
files certain official correspondence and
uses It In the attempt to damage
candidate before the people.
Leaving out Of consideration the
ethics Of that act, what does the cor
respondence reveal? We viii quote an
authority--as good an authority as Mr.
Ford. City Solicitor Robert G. Harman.
a Democrat, says Of the particular
transaction which has SO outraged Mr..
Ford's nice sense Of business ethics;
"Mr. Lea simply did what ] would
have done or what anyone would have
done under similar circumstances, He
simply desired to protect his water
rights, aud he certainly cannot be
blamed for that"
The fact Is that the Water Commits
sion at one time wanted to build new
dam and as the William Lea & Sons
Company got It's water from the stream.
the commission wrote a letter to the
company asking that IL bear half Of
the expense Mr.. Lea as an officer OF
the company replied, There was nothing
IN the reply but what was dictated by
ordinary business sense. The COM
pany (observe. not Mr. Lea) didn't
want to spend any money for some
tning that Il didn't deem necessary and
which it didn't believe would benefit its
property Mr.. Lea in this matter was
not acting for himself. but for the
stockholders Of his company
Yet that is the basis for a TRADE by
Mr.. Ford ana for several columns of
stun ia the Every Evening. The Dem
ocrats must be sorely pressed to resort
to such absurd tactics.

the wisdom OF the whole scheme which

We are disposed to regard these de-
lays and questions as unfortunate. 1t

thought to perfect the plans and to pre-

made a careful study Of our needs and
OF the opportunities Of supplying them.
We trust that the Water Commission

law. and then either proceed or frank

Editor Of The Evening Journal:
As a straight-out. lifelong Republican
I am desirous to see one man on Tho
ticket defeated. Doubtless all those in
the Brandywine hundred district who like
myself voted at the nomination election
for Mr.. Elliott for Levy Court Commits
slonor, only to find him outrageously
cheated out Of H. feel as I do In regard
IN the situation. II would have been the
honorable and decent thing for Mr.. Brown
when he knew the condition to have
promptly resigned ia favor OF Mr.. Elliott.
lie, however, was not so fair or gener-
Gus, but was perfectly willing TO accept
the fraud and hence Mr. Brown Is the
Republican candidate for Levy Court
Commissioner only by reason of the
crosses frauds norpetrated by those CON
ducting that nomination election which
was further condoned by the equally dis
credltablc county committee. ON Tuesday
next will be the opportunity for all Of
Mr. Ellott's friends and the better ole
ment Of the party to administer a sting
ms fcbuke to an such rascaHy methods.
by voting against Brown and in favor OF
some one for the same office on one OF
the other tickets Let us be particular To
show these cheating pscals that we
will not submit 10 their subversive and
outrageous methods. II can be put down

vARlAG CAPTAINS REQUEST

Russian Cruisers Commander Asked
British Officer to Sink His ship.
The Seoul correspondent of the Lon.
don Mail in the course of a descriptive
narrative of the Chemulpo battle be-
tween the Japanese and Russian fleets
says that before the fight the captain
Of the Russian cruiser Variag held a
conference with the British, French
and Italian captains aboard the British
cruiser. Talbot, in which he asked for
the protection Of a foreign warship in
leaving the harbOr. The request was
refused.

the Russian wounded were received on
board the United States gunboat Vicks-
burg.
While the Variag was being sunk her
captain, fearing that the Japanese
would reach the vessel before she set
tied down, requested the captain of the
Talbot to fire at her water line. This
request was also refused.
The cruiser Iwate had her three
decks pierced by a she'll, and the bat
tleship Tufts smokestack was de-
stroyed. No ship, however, was in

Japanese Women In War Times.

Japanese WOmen In War Times.
Japanese women Who have received
part of their education in the United
States deplore the restraint under which
their sisters are held at home, especial
" in these wal times, says the New
York Press. The wife of one of the
wealthiest Japanese merchants in New
York-she has been in that city eight
years-said to a friend the day after
the Russian fleet was attacked at Port
Arthur: 1.-THE discussion or expression
Of an opinion by a woman on anything
connected with the war would not be
tolerated in Japan. Perhaps it would
be more correct to say that not one wo-
man in a thousand possesses any knowl-
edge on the subject or has the remotest
idea what it is about, but If that one
dared to open her mouth she would be
ostracized Immediately. Our sex at
homo is not supposed to have an opin-
ion on anything. I really was fright
ened six years ago when l heard your
girls expressing themselves with the
greatest freedom as to which side they
believed to be right in the Spanish war.
We would no more do that-if we could
than we would fly"
