Over Thirty-Five Years.

In 1872 there was "a great deal
of diarrhoea, dysentery and chol-
era infantum. 1t was at this
time that Chamberlain's Colo,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
was first brought into use. 1t
proved more successful than any
other remedy or treatment, and
has for thirty-tive years main
tanned that record. From a small
beginning its sale and use has
extended to every part Of the
United States and to many for
eign countries. Nine druggists
out of ten will recommend it
when their opinion is asked, al
though they have other medicines
that pay them a greater profit.
1t can always be depended upon,
even in the most severe and dan
gerous cases. For sale by S. V.

Santa Fe Panhandle Divisions.

A special to the Dallas News
from Santa Fe headquarters at
Wellington, Kansas giving the
new arrangement of Panhandle
divisions, says:
The Santa F'e has decided to
divide the main line of its Pan.
handle division between this city
and Amarillo, Texas, into three
freight divisions. The first will
be from Wellington to Waynoka,
Ok, 1O7 miles. The second from
Waynoka to Canadian, Texas, also
1O7 miles, and the third from
Canadian to Amarillo, 102 miles.
The present division point is
Woodward, 143 miles west of
Wellington. The change is com
PEELED by the increasing traffic
over the division and the attitude
of the Interstate Commission
against obliging trainmen to
work extra hours. The company
has bought land at Waynoka and
Canadian and will build round
houses and terminal yards in
both places as soon as possible.

Wheat and Dat Turnout.

The Silverton Enterprise es-
Inmates the wheat output per
acre for this seasons crop in
Briscoe county at 20 bushels and
oats at 10 bushels.
Armstrong almost comes up
to the BriscOe estimate, accord
ing to the Claude News.
Deaf Smith, like Randall, is
behind on anything like accurate
figures.
The truth about the matter is,
that while all our Central Plains
land is about of a whatness in
productive capacity on wheat and
oats, the advantage, if any, being
in favor of the blacker, tighter"
lands of Deaf Smith and Randall,
we in the last named two coun-
ties failed to get the rams the
others did.
a few crops in Deaf Smith and
also in Randall may reach the
figures given out by Briscoe and
other adjoining counties, owing
to extra good farming in the
preparation of the ground for
the crop, but on the whole, as
the saying goes, we are not in
it" when it comes to anything
like a crop of wheat and oats for
this good year of 1907.
The unusually warm winter
followed by an uncOmmOnly cold
and dry spring long continued
did us up and we had just as
well admit it.

PLANT TREES.

Trees are among natures
greatest gifts. We all love them
and almost all can have them il
we only will.
No more important subject is
before our Nation today than that
of planting trees-reStoring in
so far as we can what the ruth,
less hand of man has destroyed.
Trees add to the comforts of a
home; to its appearance and to
its value in dollars and cents far
more than they cost.
Plant Trees. Such is the word
sent out by the combined com
mercial clubs of Texas at re-
cent session held at Beaumont.
The resolutions adopted there
read as follows:
Whereas, The health, happi-
ness and appearance of a city is
promoted by providing public
parks, planting shade trees,
growing flowers, shrubs, etc;
and
Whereas, The soil and climate
of Texas and Louisiana is espe-
cially adapted to the propagation
of mXuriant foliage the entire
year; therefore, be it
Resolved, l. That all CONNER
cial organizations use every effort
to increase the public park area,
encouraging the planting of trees,
flowers, etc, and otherwise beau
tifying the city.
,. That a copy of this resolu-
ton be submitted to the board of
of each commercial or
ganization. with the urgent re-
quest that action be taken.
3. That the secretaries of com
mercial organizations report
of this movement from
time to time to the State score
-ary in order that it may receive
special attention of the officers of
)ur organization.

CLOUDY.

Last Friday it rained in Can.
yon City. In the western por.
tons of the county, about I'm.
barger and Hoffman, and also in
the southern portion of the coun-
ty near Happy, good rains fell
on Saturday as we'll as on Friday
and the field crops there are do
ing nicely. Rains also visited
the southeastern part of the
county
So far this year, Amarillo,
Canyon City and nearby vicini-
ties have had less rain than any
other part of the Central Plains
country.
Warm weather, uncommonly
so for the Plains, has been al
most constantly with us during
the past week. Could sit out on
the porch comfortably until late
bed time, not the rule here even
in the good old summer time"
It has been cloudy too most every
day with showers in sight and is
still so with promise of more
rain. We want 1.-THE rain.
Last night it showered some
for US, more than sufficient to
lay the dust and the promise for
more is very good.
Crops are doing very well.
Good time for ice cream and
cold drinks as the picture indi-
Gates, but while called warm
weather by Plains people it
would be cool for those people in
lower attitudes who are now com
planning of hot weather" Such
is the testimony of those of our
people who have been North and
back east" and also those who
came from each of those airec-
tons to take in our recent Re
union.
We may not as some say, have
all the coOnS in one tree" on the
Texas Plains, but we come as
near to it, commercially speak
ing, as any other portion Of these
United States and when it comes
to good health and its natural |
the ability to enjoy
life, we are as well fixed as Mr.. |

The man is now held in Jail at

the next term Of court. He will
have TO answer under the new
liquor law which requires proof
of only one sale in order to con
Wet and the evidence against
Peabody is said to be strong.
The new law provides a peniten-
tiary sentence for all convictions
for the offense of selling liquor in
local option towns, so IL is quite
likely that Peabody is billed for
a term at hard labor before he
can get free Officers here are

THE PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENTS.

in session at College Station. July
26, indorsed the Constitutional
amendments proposing an add,
tional road tax to be levied on
consent of and by vote of the
property owners affected, and
the one creating improvement
districts in certain cities-these
two only.
The News expressed itself on
each OF these propositions in its
issue of May 3lst and as election
day comes off next Tuesday its
opinion Of that date, still adhered
to- is here in part reproduced:
The propositions submitted to
the public in these suggested
amendments are so plain as to do
away with any seeming necessity
uPefrthe part of The News for
even review of the questions
involved, and such being the case
this paper will content itself by
taking up each in order as they
appear and here recording its
verdict.
Providing a home for Confed-
crate Widows. Read it over and
then ask yourself the question,
why not: The News is for this
amendment.
As to levying an additional
road tax when submitted to a
vote of the people effected. The
News sees no valid objection to
this. is Democratic from every
standpoint and it ought TO be
adopted
Creating the office of Commits
sioner Of Agriculture. Not much
if il We're left to The News. This
State is already cursed with too
many sinecures-too much of a !
draw now on the public funds. If
sure Of a practical farmer in this
place il would not be so bad, but /
as the chances are largely in IA /
yor Of some politician getting the |
job or at best a theoretical high /
muck-a-muck" we had better /
sit down on this proposition. And .
then again we don't need him as
we already have an agricultural |
department.
Establishment of State print /
shop. Here again The News en-
ters an emphatic NO. The News |
takes this position because the /
Of the past has prov
en- that it requires, as a rule,
about twice as much money for
the government to do its own
as to let il out by con
tract. The statistics of our Ma
tiOnal government show this be
yond a doubt as well as the rec
ords Of the States trying the
1t won't do.
Salary of members of the Leg
iglature. Unless The News is
badly mistaken, about such re
quest as this one was refused by /
the people less than a year ago
and the present one richly de-
serves the same fate. If coupled
with the assurance Of reducing
he membership Of the House TO
)ne-half Of its present number it
night Go, but under present con
litions it should be so treated as
o bury it for good.
Creating Improvement districts
u certain cities. As this. like {
he proposition to levy a special
Dad tax, must before being OPP
.rative be adopted by the people
by the levy, The News,
IS with the other, sees no reas- {
'nable objection to this. Home
'ule has ever been a hobby with
Hhe News editor and so he will :
ote for this amendment.
Such are the sentiments of
The News after a careful consid- .
ration of all the questions at is
ne in the six proposed amend !
nents TO our State Constitution. /

Concerning the billiard cue and the
old fashioned "billiard mace" or "bil-
lard mast" as Cowper wrote the word,
1t may be noted that the original
French term for the instrument of the
game was "maSse" or billiard"
Queue" according to Littre, was at
first the name Of the tapering tail or
striking end of the less clumsy stick
that subsequently rose in favor and
eventually came to mean that stick it
self. Queue" in the sense of the tail
of a wig, used sometimes to be written
"cue" in English, but we reserve the
French spelling now for this and for
the tail Of people at a theater door,
giving the English to the billiard stick
and to the actors "cue," if that also
represents "tail'-the tail of the pre-
ceding speech. But, as the actors cue
used to be written o. or "qu," it has
been thought to represent the Latin

TOWN OF FLOMATON, ALA,
FORGING TO THE FRONT

ent prosperity for any town is to be
bufit slowly but surely on the merits
of its surroundings as an agricultural
county for unlike the impetus given a
sawmill or mining town, which is soon
gone and the town dies, the growth
on an agricultural basis is permanent.
Manufacturing Interests.
The citizens of F1omatOn are al
ready beginning to put into execution
the proper methods for building, not 4
large city. but a town that meets the
needs of the country. First they have
established bank that is able to
meet the present demands; second
they are giving their support and en-
couragement to manufacturing inter
ests and as result have in operation
a basket factory that has already
shipped this year eight cars of
baskets and one million and a half of
tobacco stats, and will increase the
plant later. Flomaton also has a small
bottling works. There is a tank fac
tory in process of building, in fact the
machinery is now placed and will be
in operation in thirty days. This is
home institution, financed and man
aged by the citizens of Flomaton. Mr.
NJ. L. Johnston is president and Mr.. l..
\. Strickland manager They will
turn out round and square tanks and
watts. These of course are not large
factories but are large enough for a
beginning and have the appearance or
"a careful and cautious beginning
which is usually apparent in most all
enterprises promoted and managed by
southern people and which insureS
success. Some of our larger towns
and even cities might profit by the eX-
ample of the business men of Fiona
ton. Some of our cities boast of nat
ural advantages but the only enter
prise is to build a three room shanty

The Hepburn bill does not give this

bined vote of Democrats and Republi-

among Democrats. as well as RepubIi-

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, since 1897, has repeatedly sug-
gested to the Congress that the pow
er over classification of freight be
given to them. But Congress will not
do it.
From year to year, representatives
of the State Railroad Commissions
have met in different parts of the

meetings, they have requested Con
greSs to give this power over classi-
t1cation to the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
