FL Paso, Texas, Nov. 12.-It was re-
ported here on reliable authority that
the Mexican Central railroad has been
purchased by the Chicago, Rock. Island
Il Pacific and is now q part of rl.x
Rock Island system. A connecting link
will be built from Brownwood to Ell
Paso to be used by the Rock Island in
place of the Ell Paso & Southwestern
tracks in entering Ell Paso.
This is said to be the important an
nouncement which President A A. Rob-
inson stated in the City of Mexico
would be made within week The in
formation is derived from both Mex
lean and American sources.
The Mexican Central is the most inn
portant line in the Republic of Mexico
and is the only road IN Mexico that il
not largely owned by the government.
at present the Rock Island enters E.
Paso by way of Santa Rosa, n. M, over
the Ell Paso & Northeastern, a part OF
the Ell Paso & Southwestern system.
Colonel J. L. Bell, who built the FL
Paso & northeastern, who has been
here for some time. says that he is here
for the purpose of constructing an i'm
portant line of railroad from Ell Paso to
the northeast which is understood to
be the connecting line between the Rock
Island and its new property, the Mex
lean Central.

There are a great many households
in which a greater fuel economy might
be secured if the housewife or hus-
band would drop into the local hard
ware store and have the proprietor
give them few primer lessons along
the line of running the kitchen and
heating stoves so as to get the largest
per cent possible of heat units out of
the fuel consumed. There's heap of
hot air goes out of many chimneys
that ought rather to cook victuals and

1t is questionable which is the more
hopeless proposition, both from the
standpoint of his own welfare and
that of the community in which he
lives, the boy who smokes cigarettes in
yellow back dime novels in the hay

ing propositions and present serious
problems for solution on the part of
the parent, the teacher and the state.

Many a home would be better or
dered and more helpful to all members
within its circle if the mother were
looked upon as the mistress and queen
rather than the pack horse and drudge
of the domain. Instead of mother be-
ing the one who should always deny
herself and be self sacrificing the eX-
ercise Of these traits should be par
ticipated in by every member of the
family, to their lasting Eenefit and real
welfare. Only so can the burdens, re-
sponsibilities and privileges of home
life be equally shared and each mem
Der put into and get out Of it the most
and best that is possible.

In view of the fact that dairying is
without question the most eXacung,
disagreeable and irksome system OF
farm management it behooves the pro-
prietor to make test of all individuals
in the herd with a view to ascertain
ing which COWS are bringing in re-
turn of $50 and which return OF
only So or less per year. In the farm
bookkeeping, whether actual or the
oretical, altogether too many members
of the dairy herd are in red the year
around and never make a deposit on
which the farmer can draw interest.
Weed this kind out and get business
COWS in their places.

The systematic buying of household
necessities from catalogue houses not
only tends to kill the business of the
grocer, clothier and dry goods mer-
chant, but likewise the town in which
they are located. This in turn reacts
and results in depreciating the value Of
every acre of land in territory tribu-
tary to such town. 1t is mere Illus
tration of cause and effect that ought
to be patent to all thinking people.

Not much sentiment can be aroused
in the minds of the general public
against the farmers patronizing cata-

1t is useless to try to get tenants OF

While it takes year longer to get at
the actual work Of raising the crop,
the most satisfactory way of raising
onions is to summer fallow the piece
on which they are to be sown the year
preceding. This method not only re-
suits in terminating and killing the
weeds that may be present in the
soil, but puts the soil in a much finer
and more mellow condition. More
over, the work attendant upon grow
ing the onion crop is thus vastly sim
plified and much less expensive.

THE CONVENTION TO ASSEMBLE
Today at Fort Valley and Name Conn
r1ifkee,

The convention of the Third con-
gressional district assemblies this morn
ing in Fort Valley for the purpose of
formulating party platform, electing
a new executive committee and trans
acting other business, Sumter county
will be representedby Messrs W.T.. Lane,
Arthur Rylander, j. r. Williams and
j. T. Methvin. These gentlemen were
selected at the meeting here yesterday
of the Sumter county democratic exc
cutive committee, who had before it
Messrs w. A DOdson, w. 7. Lane,
and Judge Allen Fort, who ar
gued in manner quite spiri-
ted regarding the persOnel of Sum-
ter's delegation. Messrs Lane and
Dodson, as former campaign managers
of the two respective candidates for
Congress, Messrs Hughes and Lewis,
suggested list of delegates each,
which provoked a spirited debate be-
fore the committee. Mr.. Lane was in
noWise an aspirant for the honor later
conferred upon him, urging as he did
the appointment of other friends of
Mr.. Hughes, but in the compromise
deemed advisable by the committee he
was named as one ofSumter's delegates
to the convention, and both Mr..
Hughes and Mr.. Lewis are represented
therein.

OF CITY ELECTION
Smoke Clears Away and Battle Is
Ended.

The result of the late city primary
was the theme of animated discussion
upon all sides yesterday, and many
were the reasons and arguments ad-
vanced for defeat and victory by the
respective friends of the several aspir-
ants for office.
The defeated ones explained how it
happened to them, while the lucky ones
who landed knew, of course, that it
was going to happen that way, and
didn't have to explain.
These opinions, however, did not
change the figures at all.
Mayor Hawkins majority was 12O
votes, as announced yesterday. In his
first race, four years ago, his majority
was 81 votes.
Messrs J. G. Roney and H. l.. Mize,
candidates for police commissioners,
had easy sailing and secured almost
the full vote cast They are elected
to the police board for the full term of
fouryears, both already being mem
bers of the commission.
The city executive committee con-
sists of Messrs r. J. Perry, j. A. Day-
export, Frank Sheffield, j. J. Holiday
and r. s. Broadhurst The ticket was
very considerably scratched.
