CHANGE N DIRECTOR uKEL
Prof. Craig 10 Resign and Go Elsewhere
on Account OF His health-Proi.
Carson May Succeed Him.

Monday when the board Of direc
tors Of the Agricultural an Me-
ehanical College meet in Annual
session at Bryan, IL is a practical
certainty that Prof. John Craig,
director Of experiment station for
the college, will resign his post on
account of i'll heath, and that Mr..
ID. ". Carson, now director of the
Farmers Institute, will be named
to in the vacancy. IL has been
an open secret for months past that
Prof Craig meant to resign and 60
elsewhere in search Of better health
and it likewise has been openly
stated that Mr. Carson would be
given the post. such, at any rate,
Is the belief OF Stanley II. Watson,
industrial agent for the Houston
and Texas Central, who probably
knows as many men in Texas a.
anyone else, and who would like
to see Mr.. Ccrson given the posi-
tion-Houston Chronicle.
The announcement Of Prof
Craig's retirement from the direc-
torship Of the Texas Experiment
station will be received with gem
uine regre; throughout the state.
He has rendered efficient service
in that capcity the value OF which
will accrue to the state for years to
come. None bur the best wishes
OF his friends in and out Of the state
will follow him to his new home,
which we learn will be on a ranch
near San Antonio.
In choosing a successor to Proi.
| Craig the Eagle would, as suggested
above, be glad to see the honor fall
upon that we'll known, capable aud
popular alumnus of the A. and NJ
College. Prof. J. W. Carson, now
serving as director Of Farmers In
stitutes. Prof, Carson is a gradu.
ate and post graduate of the insti-
tuition and has been connected with
| it in various ways for more :han
fifteen years. He is thoroughly
posted regarding the work OF the
college and the station; likewise
regarding the needs Of the people
of the state the station is designed
10 serve.

amount. Harmon had moved to Eng
land and in efforts to have the case
reopened there, the affidavit of Beck
ner was filed.
1t was charged that this affidavit
was given as the basis of later
affidavit by Harmon in which gross
fraud and corruption on the part of
the trial Court was charged, but this
is denied by Beckner At the close of
lengthy decision Judge Harris said:
The Courts conclusion is that the
affidavit in question in these proceed
ings was deliberately and cunningly
drawn so as to support a charge of
fraud and unfairness in the trial of
the case therein referred to and that
said charge was known to be wholly
untrue by the affiant."

inent lawyers in Central Kentucky.
Besides various offices he has been

Cutting Trees.

New Orleans. Dec. S.-The Illinois
Central railroad has inaugurated a
movement for protecting telegraph
facilities witch is expected TO be OF
benefit to business of the entire
Southern Mississippi valley. This
work, announced last night by G.
H. Groce, the newly appointed as
sistant to the general manager of the
Illinois Central, is the cutting down
of trees, not only on the railroad
right of way, but also on private
property adjoining. so that no falling
tree can strike the wires.
In storms of this and former years
falling trees have crippled telegraph
service sometimes throughout the
entire South. Mr.. Groce said that the
large land owners along the right of
way are aiding the company-by freely
permitting their trees TO be chopped.
but that small owners are sometimes
interfering with the project.
