GOVERNMENT TOBACCO HEAD
QUARTERS.

One of the best things that has
come to Palestine lately is the es.
Enlistment of headquarters in
Palestine of the government head
quarters for the experts who are
conducting the experimental crops
in, tobacco raising. Mr.. III. M.
Hinson, who has charge of this
East Texas work has commodious
offices in the Royal building, and
has surrounded himself with the
necessary assistants to carry on
the work. These experiments
will be conducted from the Pales-
tine office. Mr.. Hinson is the to-
bacco expert working directly
under the Agricultural depart
ment of the United States govern
ment. Through his efforts about
one hundred acres are being
planted in this county in Cuban
filler tobacco. The success of this
crop here means another big
money crop for Anderson county,
and will open up an immense in
dustry here. The government
soil surveys, showing the immense
acreage of orangeburg soil Ito
bacco land) in this county, led up
to making this experiment. Some
of the most progressive farmers in |
the county are putting in small |
crops of this tobacco under the |
direction of these experts, and |
some of the moneyed men of Pal
estine are back of the movement. |
The crops already grown by the
government in Nacogdoches have
proved acknowledgements
slr tobacco is pronounced the
finest filler tobacco ever grown in |
the United States. The experts
are of the opinion that even bet
ter grade of tobacco can be grown
in this county.

Uncomfortable Accident.

A certain l. & N. G. passenger
conductor related the following:
"They had been married some
where up on the L. & P. road,
and were on trip to Galveston,
and of course had secured birth
in the Galveston sleeper. Just
before they reached Palestine the
groom went with an acquaintance
he had met up with in the sleeper
laheHdL-and they a0-'sfcra
quiet smoke, and talked of things
in general, when the groom be-
thought himself of his bride, and
decided to 60 back to her. Now
he was not aware of the fact that
he was in the San Antonio sleeper,
and that the Galveston sleeper
is cut off at Palestine and switched
to the Galveston train at Pales-
tine, so when he stepped to the
rear platform the other car was
gone, and the only thing that
greeted his eyes was a retreating
track, that in the gloom of the
night looked like some huge rae
ing monster, and the red light
that guarded the rear of the train.
Frantically he rushed back to find
the conductor for an explanation
of the strange affair, only to be
told that the sleeper his bride was
in was switched to another train
twenty miles above. The only
thing left for him to do was to
telegraph ahead and have his wife |
wait for him.
snow let US take a peep at the |
bride of few hours: She was en-
tremely nervous over the con-
tinued and unexplained absence
of her new lord, and as the anX-
ious hours rolled away, she found |
relief in tears. Finally the con-
ductor suggested the solution of
his absence (such a thing had hap
pened before), and he told her
that when daylight came doubt
less a message would reach her
explaining all. And it did. At
Houston the message came. And
at Houston several hours later the
reunion took place"
Gentle reader, let us draw the
veil here, with the hope that they |
lived happily ever afterward.

Their ISLANDERS the Democratic party in
Texas as follows: "The state has been
beggared and the state government
has sunk to such depths that no one
even honors the state officials" Sure
ly no newspaper would thus salk about
the Democratic state government I'M
less it wanted to GUST the party in
power and substitute in this state
some other political party. II some
candidate for governor desired to run
for the Office against the Democratic
nominee he would not need any better
political capital than the extracts
above quoted, and if the psople be-
lived what is therein stated, they
would rise in their might and sweep
the Democratic party from power for
ever.
II you and the "Journal' are friends
of Mr.. Campbell you should quit
abusing the party he has belonged TO
all his life, and from which no expects
his support, and quit abusing the gov
errors he has helped to make. 1t can
be no advantage to him in his aspirs-
tions to say that he is the candidate of
a party which has "beggared the
state" and which has been srun by
corporations and the machine"
II the "Herald' and the "Journal'
expect to work for the success of the
Democratic party and its nominees at
the next state election, they had bet
ter ''look a leetle oudt," or they will
embarrassed in tryipg-to ex-
plain such thoughtless declarations as
quoted above. Yours truly,

Democrat" Criticises.
PALESTINE. TEXAS. May %.

PALESTINE, TEXAS, May 20, 1905.
! Editors Anderson County Herald,
Palestine, Texas.
/ Dear Boys:-I rise to protest against
a SANDER heaped upon the Democratic
party of Texas by you and the "Beau-
mont Journap' in your weekly edition
of May 26, 1905. In quoting and en-
dorsing what the Beaumont Jorunal"
says about the candidacy of Hon. T.
M. Campbell for governor, you say,
"Surely the voters of Texas can do no
better than select this man for govern
or, for he is fearless and honest, and a
man pledged to the interest of the
people as against the corporations and
the machine that has long been in con-
troll"
What you say about Mr.. Campbell
is all right, but what you say about the
interests of the people as against the
Corporations and the machine that
has long been in control'' is all wrong
and a SANDER on the Democrat party
which has been running our state
government for over thirty years. If
the corporations and the machine have
beeni in control for any part of that time,
then the Democratic party is unfit to
rule longer. deny the charge, and re-
fer to the records, which will show that
for the last thirty years under Demo-
cratic rule Texas has prospered more
than any other state in the Union. In
fact her progress has been wonderful,
and the pride of her people and the
admiration of the whole country.
Again you quote from the "Beau-
mont Journal" as follows: "For eight
years the Office has been in the hands
of men who have had no ambition nor
ability, and the governor of Texas has
become a mere tool in the hands of
the political gang which lives at Aus
tin, and thrives upon the public reve-
nue." Now, the history of our state
for the last eight years will show that
Texas has advanced more rapidly than
during any other eight years of her
existence. Look to the records and
see. Our governors have been level
headed, conservative, patriotic BUSH
ness men, and if in the future we can
secure such governors, the state will
have reason to rejoice. About the
"political gang which lives at Austin
and thrives upon the public revenue"
l would like to ask if they are not all
Democrats and competent servants in
their various offices? If so, what is
there to kick about? Does the fact
that a man lives in Austin disqualify
him from holding office? Is not Aus
tin a part of our great state? Would
it save anything to the tax payers to
select men for Office outside of Austin?
But let us look to the record and see |
if it is true that the political gang"
which ''thrives on the public revenue"
actually live or ever did live at Austin |
except during their term OF office. Let
the "Journal" kindly point out gov
ernor, attorney general, state treas
urer, comptroller, commissioner of the
general land office, superintendent of
public instruction, or judge of the SUI
preme court or court of civil appeals
at Austin who was a citizen of Austin
when he was first elected. If he can,
it will enlighten the public.
The journal" as you quote it, fur

Napoleon fell Immediately in love

We're as Immediately formed against
her. Napoleon was told that she loved
another. Bluntly he went to her, ask
ing: "Have you had a serious at

While their engagement was still
a half secret, the ladies of the court
declared the marriage impossible; and
when they found themselves in pres
ence Of Eugene they disdained her
and kept her out of their circle. Until,
one day at Compiegne, they showed
such open hostility that Mile. de Mon
tito, deeply wounded, had to complain
to the emperor.
Napoleon listened, tranquil and smil-
ing; then when the beautiful girl had
finished speaking, he tore a few green
twigs from a bush, twisted them into
a crown, and placed it on her head
while saying: "Wear this for the mo-
ment!' *

She had enemies everywhere among
the women, who could not forgive her
her youth, beauty and place; and they

While the short skirts were being pre-.
pared, however, certain sincere friends
of the young empress became troubled.
Nine. de Metternich, then, affected sur
prise. "What harm can there be in
the empress going thus with US all9''

they focked around her, and from that
day she was virtually empress.
Many stories are told Of her alleged
f1irtations, but it is now we'll known
that, as time went on, she came to
love her imperial husband to the point
of rabid jealousy. The father of the
