Just after the confsrence, when wa1 y
a short one owing to the fact the the
governor had been kept in close touch
with the situation, there was little to
discuss except that OF the action Of
the relief committee today.
Governor Noel said in substance:
Il have been kept constantly ad-
vised as to the situation in this sec
tion of the state by men who were
fully advised as to the situation. They
knew as much about what was need
ed as l could know II were on the
ground. Besides DR.. Ross, member
of the state board of health lived here
and understood things as did the re-
lief committee and the other physi-
clans of the city. I have given my
hearty approval to all that they have
done and have endorsed all of theiHl
recommendation to the president and
to the ward apartment. Nevertheless

Jackson better than / could by leav-
ing. Three sections were struck by
the storm-the middleAsection, the Sec
tion around Natchez and the South
Mississippi section. I found that the
Natchez section did not want much
help; most of the devastation was
among large plantation owners who
stated that they were amply able to
feed and clothe the hands on their
places, but that they desired the use
Of some tents until they could do
some rebuilding. These were furnish

The governor stated that he :.
absolute confidence in the men wi
had charge of the relief work andV
he had cheerfully endorsed to the
president and other authorities all
that had been asked of him.
Asked as to his opinion ofthe pass
age of the Bowers measure, carrying
an appropriation of $250,OO0 to the
storm sufferers of the Southern states
he said he had only read of it in the
papers and was not prepared to give
out any opinoin further than to say
that he hoped 1t would be passed. He
was asked as to what disposition
would be made Of this fund and he
stated that 1t was his information that
1t would be used under the direction
OF the war department and in such
way as the officers in charge would
recommend.

BRYAN ON BALCONY.
At Nacogdoches Makes First
Political Utterances.

Nacogdoches, Tex, Jan. 6.-Before
5000 persons Hon. W. j. Bryan Friday
made his first political speech during
his present tour of Texas.
ME- Bryan came to this cfty-upon
invitation of the Cum Concillio club,
an organization composed exclusively
of ladies, to deliver lecture, but when
he was informed that the hall where
the lecture was to be delivered was
inadequate to accommodate those who
desired to hear him he consented to
deliver short public address. He
spoke from the balcony of the Red
lands hotel, and the street was crowd
ed with people
The speech was only of few min
utes' duration, but in it Mr.. Bryan
practically announced his candidacy
for the Democratic nomination for the
presidency At 4 o'clock he spoke to
the school children in the high school
auditorium, and at 4:30 he delivered
his speech at the hotel.
Before beginning his speech Mr.. Bry-
an expressed some fear that the gal
lery might fall because of the weight
Of the people assembled on it, remark
ing that he had had seven platforms
to fall with him, and which several
people were injured for life and some
killed. IT." he said, this gallery were
like the Democratic platform you could
not get too many on it,
Mr.. Bryan said the Republicans have
hnSvs In ale hot
the party Is less popular now than
when it went in. There is only one
among the leaders of that party who
can lay claim to respectable popular
ity, he said, and his popularity ex-
tends only SO far beyond his party as
he has borrowed from the Democrats.
The Democratic party Is united, while
the Republicans are hopelessly di-
vided
He said that in Indiana Senator Bev-
eridge is reformer and Vice Presi-
dent Fairbanks stand-patter. "Bev-
eridge," he said, will go about ring
ing bell and crying, Wake up! Wake
up!' and Fairbanks comes along with
bottle of chloroform and says Sleep
on! Sleep on! 1 am for reform!'
When President Roosevelt first an
nounced his advocacy of railroad reg.
ulation I was among the first to call
at the white house and bid him God
speed"
In conclusion Mr.. Bryan said: 81
have spoken long enough to satisfy
your curiosity, 1 could not speak long
enough to wear out your Democracy
and those Of you who may never have
an opportunity to hear a real live
president of the United States speak
you can at least say now that you
have heard one speak who, on two
different occasions, cherished the de-
fusion that he was going to be real
live president, and he feels that dis
ease coming on again."

The Quest of Truth.

1t is a good deal easier to poke fun
at history than to write history merit
ing credence. Mr.. Bodley when writ
ing his France" experienced the force
Of this in curious way. He shut
himself up in France for years to get
the atmosphere and the knowledge
necessary for his work. One of his
trials arose over some question Of elect
oral jurisprudence. 1t was not Of in
ternational importance, but still inter-
esting to students Of comparative pro-
cedure. Therefore he wrote to dep
uty who is parliamentary expert to
clear up the obscurity in which the
text books involve the point and incor-
porated his reply in the text of the
book. Later, being invited by an ex-
perienced mayor to be present at a
poll over which he presided, Mr.. Bod
ley put the question to him and re-
ceived quite different reply. Finally
the author referred the point to a
senator Of indisputable authority, who
showed that the deputy and the mayor
were both wrong.-St. James Gazette.

TEXAS, FRIDAY. JANUARY
Mild Hazinu,

The proprietor of plumbing estab-
lishment downtown has poor opinion
of goat limitations. A young man,
dapper and twenty, came into his
plumbing shop and asked to see an ex-
pensive porcelain bathtub. The proS
prietor explained at length the good
qualities of certain make.
"This seems to be an excellent one, "
said the young man.
Without warning he jumped into the
bathtub, drew his coat closely around
him and exclaimed: "Quick, turn on
the water! l want to try it."
The proprietor thought he was in
sane and, soothing his head, said.
"There, there, you're all right"
"Yes," the Soung man gurgled,

"Wait till reach the faucet" said
the proprietor softly, side stepping to

Just at this moment two other young
men, trifie older, entered.
"Well, Bobby, had your bath?" they
inquired.
"Yes."

restaurant and order a side of roast

Good as a Corkserew.

"Do you know how to take a tight
cork out of q bottle without a cork
screw" was asked by woman the
other day at gossip party. "It's a
mighty good thing to know in an
emergency.
"My sister and l. were coming back
from the mountains, and she got faint

matte spirits of ammonia in my bag,
but when l tried to get the cork out
simply couldn't make it bulge.
"Let me take it out for you,' sug-
gested man across the aisle.
"Then, borrowing my pocketknife
and using his own with 1t, he removed
the cork In 4 jiffy. He inserted the
blades on opposite sides between the
bottle and the cork, each one turned
in a different direction. Then when
the blades were firmly pushed in he
simply pressed the two together, gave
them a wrench sideways, and the cork
came out without any trouble. I have
since tried it on larger bottles with
success. 1t is trick worth knowing"

According to current belief th,

According to current belief the
fight for the nomination on the Re.
publican side just now lays be-
tween Secretary Taft and Cover
nor Hughes. This is rather Gu
rious situation. One of them is
an avowed candidate, has the
backing of the administration, and
according to all indications is well
in the lead over all competitors
The other one is- not even an
avowed candidate. Nevertheless
it is predicted that in the course of
q month genuine Hughes boom
will be launched in New York and
the Governor will be force to be
seriously reckoned with. The at
tempt made at the last meeting of
the New York State Republican
Committee to have the Hughes
boom formally launched met with
defeat. This was due principally
to Chairman Parsons of the State
Committee. 1t is said, however
that notice has been served on him
to the effect that that the subject
will be reopensd at the meeting
the Committee next month and
that the Hughes endorsement will
be forced Through. 1t is said
that the friends of the Governor
are strong enough to take this
course.
Governor Hughes and Secretary
Taft may be considered the medi
UNI conservative possibilities of the
party. They both stand for a
decided reform in machine meth
DDS and for a governm ent more Of
the people and less of the corpo
rate interests. Both of them are
believed to be absolutely clean and
honest and either would be less to
the liking of the old line party
leaders than any of the severa
candidates in the field with che
exception perhaps of La Toilette
He is the most radical of all the
Republican candidates and while
he is strong man in many quar-
tiers it is not believed that he will
have to be very seriously consid
cred by the Convention.
The other possible candidates
Fairbanks, Cannon and Knox may
! all all be regarded as ultra conser
vative and any of them would bt
more welcome to the corporations
of the country than the three can
didstes previously named. All o
them are watching the develop

Woman's Wit.

An emperor of Germany besieged a
city which belonged to one Of his rebel
lious noblemen. After the siege had
lasted for long time the emperor de-
termined to take it by storm and to de-
stroy all it contained by fire and sword.
He did not, however, wish to injure
the defenseless women; therefore, he
sent proclamation into the town, say
ing that all the women might leave
the place unhurt and carry with them
whatever they held most precious. The
nobleman's wife instantly decided to
take her husband, and the other wo-
men followed her example. They soon
issued from the city gate in long pro-
cession, each one with her husband on
her shoulders. The emperor was so
much struck with the noble conduct of
the women that he spared all; even the
city itself was left untouched.

To the Editor of the Jimplecute:
We notice in issue of the Goth, some
thing regarding Resolution made and
adopted by two members they being

he is mind to call it. Any way two is
very weak and cannot do much. If We
Stony don't get no more help in trying
to down the Union l would quit and
get some one that is not banker are a
married man to sign resolutions with
me. 1t is strange that so many of our
old farmers will be pulled and hauled
around by the nose by men who are
looking to the farmerc as support for
them, knowing they are thir stay of
life, let them have a small mite of cred
it will you. Ye Stoney jumped on the
Farmers Union for the money panic,
Well, he has heard some man that can't
join the Union and seeing we will soon
win the race if we fight on and that we
will sure do, If Bro Stoney knew what
he was talking about in regard to the
Union some one weuld believe him but
he never was Farmers. Union man
and never will be. AS for what cotton
would have been selling at now1 have
az much right to say 4 or 5 cents as We
stoney has to say 124 els. Ask cotton
buyers, they will tell you one man
knows as much as another. Use your
own judgment, it has been long time
since cotton staid as near one thing
up to Xmas before. We believe that
the Union has held it there to a GER
tain extent. We hear some men say
the minimum is too high but they still
hold<pr it, A religion that won't do
to practice won't do to preach, so say
you all gentlemen. Now, Brother jump
higher and shout louder and fall fatter
if you want to you can't hurt the Union
There has bigger men than you tried to
down the Union. We have learned
how to hold to anything we see if it is
doing good, we are not the-one that are
kicking. We will be all right if we get
our price; we have to pay the other
mans price for what we use. They
don't want US to say any thing about
one price fol what we have got. So
we the Trinity Union, are strong and
large and can jump as high and fall as
/ fiat as ye Stoney or MIR. Shack either.
Now, gentlemen we will fight for our
rights as well as you, so please keep of
our toes and we will give you our SYM
pathies. The writer is Union man,
