IMPORTANT TO SHIPPERS.
Texas Demurrage and Storage Bureau
Will Collect Local Penalty in Future.

The local railway agents here have
received notification of a change in
the name of the Texas Car Service
association and an enlarging of the
duties of the organization under the
new arrangement. After the first OF
January the association will be sue
ceeded by the Texas Demurrage and
Storage Bureau. The duties of the
new organization will be to collect
storage on local shipments of freight
at the same rate as is now charged,
where, as heretofore, the association
has only collected overtime demur-
rage on carloads. Under the old ar
rangement collections for local demur-
rage were made by the local freight
agents. Now, however, payment Will
be made to the local freight agents,
for the bureau, and if the local agents
does not collect these charges the
amount will be deducted from his (the
agents. salary.
It will be seen that the rules are
not changed except as to their enforce
ment. The free time of freight in the
local freight houses is Y hours. After
that storage will be charged except
where the parties to whom shipment
is made reside five or more miles
away from the station, then no storage
charge can be made until after twenty
days have elapsed.
The rules of the new association will
take effect on the first day of Jan
uary, 1909, and the local freight men
will have no discretion whatever in
their enforcement.

NO NEED FOR RANGERS.
Mr.. H. T. Smith Speaks Highly of the

Mr.. n. T. Smith Speaks Highly of the
People Of His Home Town.
Mr.. HIT Smith of New Braunfes
spent Christmas with his parents here,
returning to his duties as telegraph
operator for the NJ X & T. at New
Braunfels last night. The capital OF
Comal now being in the spotlight by
reason of drastic measures which it
Is believed the governor will employ
to have the Baskin-McGrego law en-
forced in that city. Mr.. Smith was
asked concerning the city, its people,
and their sentiment towards the law.
Mr.. Smith states it as his opinion
that the presence of rangers TO en-
force the law is entirely unnecessary.
He has worked in many cities for his
company, and for the past three years
has resided in New Braunfels, and he
states that he never lived among a
better people or more law abiding
people than those of New Braunfels
and Comal county.
The majority of the people attend
church every sabbath morning, and in
the afternoon many of them meet and
have a social glass of beer, and per
haps at night there is concert by a
fine band which New Braunfels
boasts. There is perhaps the most
beautiful park in the State at New
Braunfels, which is largely visited on
Sunday afternoon.
Mr. Smith states that he has never
lived among a more sociable, cordial
and generous people than those OF
New Braunfels, and reiterates that
the sending of rangers to enforce the
law is, in his opinion, entirely unnec
ceSary.

One of the happiest family reunions
during the holidays was at the home
of Uncle Mark Wilcox. There were
assembled all the children and grand

making of young and old, and in The
exchange of presents the youngsters
received toys, CONNECTIONS and fire
works to their hearts content. The
Eagle wishes the venerable patriach
and his clan many happy returns.

A Christmas Dinner.

A Christmas dinner much enjoyed by
all present was given at the home of
Mr.. Pete Konecny, at his home in the
northeastern part of the city yester-
day. Those who enjoyed Mr.. and Mrs.

bers of his family were Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Konecny, Mr.. Tommie Konecny
and their father, and Mr.. and Mrs

A beautiful Christmas tree for the
three-year-old young man of the house
had been arranged which furnished en-

No self respecting man or woman
who is able to work will accept char
ity. Accepting favors implies depend
ence which is incompatible with self
respect. Destroy the self respect of
any people and you fit them for well
deserved slavery. When it comes to
the pass that men able to work will
swear lies for the sake of a paltry
pension we may well tremble for our
liberties.

remark of Pompey about more men

to Sylla. Several of our brethren of
