A WeIl-Earned Promotion

Mr.. w. r. Walker, whose popularity
as a salesman at Wagner's big store
here was an asset of the firm, has
been promoted by Mr.. Lindsey, mana
ger of Mr.. Wagner's Texas interests
to the management of the Wagner
store at Navasota, for which place
he departed Tuesday afternoon. TIC
the large general public Mr.. Walker is
best known, perhaps, as the ad writer
for the Bryan house, and the large
business which the corporation enjoys
here is testament at once to the
efficiency of printers ink as a trade
winner as well as to the ability OF
the man who wrote the ads.

Woman's Organization in Bryan.

There is no lack of organization
among the women of Bryan and
through the fundamentally of the
various clubs, guilds and societies
good has been accomplished. Ii has
been abundantly demonstrated that
the women of Bryan are willing and
able to cooperate for the accomplish.
ment of good work. But each of their
efforts, in the past and present, is re-
stricted to certain definite lines and
the resulting benefits are circum-
scribed accordingly.
Almost every day the editor of the
Eagle reads in exchanges accounts of
the good work women in other towns
in line not yet taken up by any or
ganization of the ladies of Bryan. 1t
is kind Of work that Bryan needs as
much as "ny town within the writer's
hAOWASNt5C anu a hlHu lhal olOulu
peal to the best that is in the heart
of true womanhood The results &c
complisned elsewhere show what
could be done in Bryan if the effort
were made.
The need of the improvement re-
ferred to s so obvious that it is not
necessary to name it, Anyone who
walks and drives along the streets in
almost any part of the town sees on
every hand something to suggest it.
If the ladies would organize and de-
mand that the streets and sidewalks
be made to correspond with the ele-
CANT public buildings, business houses
and beautiful homes the city would
soon be a thing of beauty and a joy
forever. A ladies' civic improvement
league is one of Bryans greatest
needs.

Meeting of Stockholders Held
in Columbia Tuesdav.

Meeting of Stockholders Held
in Columbia Tuesday.
A meeting of the stockholders
of the Seminole Securities Co.,
which was ordered into a re-
ceivership Monday by Judge
Watts, was held at Columbia
Tuesday. Some 200 men were
there, representative business
men from 7 States, and they
were a mad set of men who
meant business. Messrs. @. T.
Williams and H. M. McAllister,
of Lumberton, attended the
meeting and returned yesterday.
In an interview with Mr.. Nc
Allister the following facts were
learned:
The resignation of the old
board of directors and President
Darlington were accepted and
nine new directors, 5 from
South Carolina and one each
from West Virginia, North Car
olina, Georgia and Florida,
were elected. Gen. Julian S.
Carr, of Durham, is the North
Carolina director. These di-
rectors were instructed to see
if Judge Watts would not rescind
his order appointing receivers
| for the COMPANY, and in the
event he will not do that to give
bond for the assets of the COM
pany and take it out of the re-
ceivers' hands. They were also
instructed to confer with the At
torney General of South Carolina
and assist in gathering informa-
tion necessary to convict the di-
rectors and trustees Of fraud
and to bring criminal and
civil action against them
at once; to confer with the
officials of the Southern Life IN
surance Co. and request that they
annul the contract made with
them by Darlington for 1,50C
shares of that company at an ex-
horbitant price, and in the even
that proposition is not accepted
to take such action against them
in the courts as will compel them
to do 50; and to get together the
books and tangible assets of the
company and take chargeof them.
The directors were in confer
ence Tuesday night with a com.
mittee from the Southern Life,
but nothing definite had been
done when they adjourned at &
late hour. 1t is the general i'm,
preston that what the assets Of
the company lack of paying the
stockholders will be recovered
from the trustees.
