Palestine is considering a cotton
mill proposition made by a repre-
sentative of Britton Bros. of Dallas,
who, 1t is said, propose to invest
$3.50. 900. 90 in a chain of cotton
mills in Texas. The proposition
is that Britton Bros. furnish
SIS, 200. 90 and citizens of Pales-
tine $50, 900. 90 Of the capital stock,
the Palestine people to be given
preferred stock as a guarantee that
the investment will pay not less
than 6 per cent. 1t is proposed to
build a s,ooo-spindle mill with all
modern machinery, and requiring
200 operatives, the weekly pay roll
being about sasoo.oo. These cap
italists already own several mills in
the state, and Mr.. ]. II. Head, who
is representing them in the nego-
tiatIons at Palestine, is secretary of
a mill located at Celeste, Texas,
which is running night and day.
The Palestine proposition looks
good enough for the Eagle to in
dulge the hope that it will appeal
to Bryan capitalists sufficiently to
induce them to investigate its
merits with a view Of seeing if a
similar proposition will not be made
to Bryan.

A TEN.YEARS' CHASE.

"Persistency," said the shoe
salesman to the beginner on the
road, lis the most desirable quail.
ity a salesman can possess.

piled with good common-sense.
Presidency, where the salesman
shows his teeth and growls out his
request for an order, is usually
greeted by kick out of the door.
Persis,ency, backed by courtesy,
pleasant nature, good argument and
a desire to be Of service to the
buyer, will win every time in the
end.

The Coleman Voice wisely urges
farmers to constantly keep the idea
of crop diversification before them,
aud rightly observes that lit is one
of the essentials of the coming
greatness of this country" The
ground is we'll taken. 1t has beer
repeatedly demonstrated that,
aside from the large plantations
with their abundance of land and
labor, the one or two crops plan
won't pay.

to ignore him entirely, although
each visit meant the loss of half
day to me.
Smith greeted me pleasantly
each time. but he was welded to q
certain make of shoe, and as an
apology for not giving me an order
said its manufacturer had always
treated him fairly and had even
helped him, and he saw no reason
why he should change.
"He was inst the sort of a Gus.
toner who. if treated fairly, sticks.
Last month l called On him.
He did not seem so enthusiastic
about his pet manufacturer, so !
managed to draw from him the
story of his grievance.
1T seems that the shoe manu-
facturer had placed the manage
ment of his business in the hands
Of his son, who introduced many
ew rules especially offensive to
the old shoe dealers. Smith re-
ported shortage, and the son of
the manufacturer asked for evil
dence.
Now, Smith was a great be-
lever in the honesty of mankind.
He doubted no mans word, he had
no idea any one would doubt his
own. So the misunderstanding
ended in Smith withdrawing his
trade from the manufacturer.
II asked Smith why he had
made up his mind to give me his
trade without receiving quotations
from others, and he said: II have
admired your persistency. While
all the other statesmen have long
since stopped calling on me, you
kept a-coming.'
But il was not Smiths trade
alone which I won by persistency.
I managed to secure list of GUS
toners of Smiths former manufac-
turer. and / hustled around to see
them. Nearly every one of them
had some sort of grievance with
the new management, and as con-
sequence was willing to give my
goods a trial. A trial made them
steady customers. Saturday Ev-

didates to the academy. The board Will advise
that the regular entrance examination be done

without mental examination. The plan contem-
plates that they shall. six months after entrance
take their first mental examination. After this
period OF tentative probation they will be
dropped from the rolls II they fail to pass the
examination. This recommendation is made be-
cause of alleged lack OF restraining influences
about the candidates while in Annapolis pre-
pairing for entrance Other recommendations
provide that the rank and two years extra ser
