Here to Stay.

Some people seem to have an idea
that we are only here for a short
time, which is altogether a wrong i'm
preston. We are permanently locat-
ed in Palestine, and are highly
pleased with our first years business
We have done nice business right
along, regardless of the so-called hard
times, and expect to continue to do
good business, because we know that
honest Pianos at honest prices, with
nice treatment to our customers, will
bring good business, and we are
trusting entirely TO these methods on
which to build a permanent and pros
porous business. We are here to stay,
and are prepared to give closer prices
and easier terms ON honest Pianos
than any other house in Texas and
We treat our customers so nice that
we make a friend out of each one of
them. If we have pleased others we
can please you
If you are in need of Piano ii
would pay you to investigate our
Pianos and business methods.

WHAT is BEING DONE TO SAVE
A. & M. COLLEGE?

Shall the A & NJ College of Texas
be destroyed? For months there has
been a constant condition of unrest
and periods of turmoil at the college.
The last chapter is the indefinite sus-
pension of seven cadets, the editorial
staff of the college paper, on account
of an article appearing in the publ
cation. Since their suspension the
whole student body has Endorsed the
attitude taken by those suspended.
To be consistent they must all be
suspended, which would leave the
school without students. The truth
is that for months the college has
held together by the slightest CO.
zhesion-the influence of the alumni
over the cadets. The president has
lost The respect of the student body.
he has nee1trof over it. Those
who compose that body do not trust
in him, do not believe in him, do not
feel kindly toward him. He and they
are at open enmity and strife Is this
condition due to the innate perverse-
ness of the nearly 500 boys and young
men who, as rule, come from the
best homes of Texas, or is it due to-
some failure or defect upon the part
of the president? The president is
not an instructor He teaches MOTH
ing. He is the executive head, and
his chief duty is to command the love,
confidence and respect of the student
body, for without this all else must
fail. He has utterly failed to do this,
and as a result an institution, than
which there is no greater in Texas, is
about to go to pieces.
Farm and Ranch feels that it is
time that this condition should be
recognized and met What is the
board of directors doing to save the
Agricultural and Mechanical College?
Texas Farm and Ranch.
The Farm and Ranch, in the above
states the situation very clearly, and
it is time something was being done
to clear up the situation.

The Herald has an idea that if
Henry c. Pierce is not guilty of the
crime charged against him in Texas
he need feel no concern about COM
ing to the state and proving his inno-
cence. But if he is guilty it is up to
him to stay in the tall grass as long as
possible. This state is prepared to
give him exact justice, and nothing
more nor less than justice.

1t is going to make all the differ

turn all their efforts to putting an
impossibility on the ticket with the
Nebraskan, thus making it impossible
for him to win the fight in the popu-

Sunnyside Asks Help.

SunnySide Commercial Club
takes the liberty 20 issue the
following statement regarding
the disastrous tornado that
swept our little community on
the afternoon of July 2nd at
five o'clock.
Our community has a popula-
tion of 500 people and is situa-
ted seventy miles west of Texico
New Mexico, on the Belen Cut
off of the Santa Fe X. RI The
railroad name of the community
is TT Summer.
The tornado was accompanied
by terrific hail that broke out
all doors and windows, making
the disastrous work of the wind
easy, to the extend of thirty-fve
totally wrecked houses and not
one left undamaged. The night
of July 2nd. 1908, shall always
be vividly remembered, and
painfully so, by the citizens of
our little community. Nolights,
no stoves, no shelter. no dry
clothes, and the ground all but
solid sheet Of hail.
1t is all but miraculous that
scores were not killed, and we
are grateful and more than
pleased to state that there are
only three deaths recorded.
However, there are many seri-
ously injured and unlimited
numbers bruised with hail and
flying timbers.
The manned and injured were
crowded into the depot and one
or two other partially dry houses
where they spent the longest
night of their lives. signing,
walIing and freezing, clad in wet
clothes and none dry to be found
even at the stores where the
roofs had all been blowed off and
tine goods were all wet so that
our town afforded no immediate
relief and all suffered together
Our people have been brave
and patient, all full of sympathy
for each other, but none in posi-.
ton to help each other because
OF the great leveling blow of the
vicious tornado, which took con-
crete buildings as we'll as frame.
The Sunnyside Commercial
Club have, through committees.
canvassed the entire community
and find the actual needs to re-
build and replace for those who
nave no resources is about Sill
90, and our community con
fronted with a task beyond our
ability, and yet one that has to
be done.
Consequently the Sunnyside
Commercial Club in meetiny
Just ended, reluctantly gave
thelr consent, because of the
urgent needs, to make appeal to
twenty cities through some of
the daily and weekly papers for
a stipulated amount, which we
nave appointed them.
We do this as a matter of
Justice to the outside world So
that not one dollar more than
actual needs shall be sent.
The Commercial Club is COM
posed OF honest business men
VINO feel Inundated to make oat-
side appeals and assure all that
the Sunnyside business men
nave contributed painfully,
liberal sums already, and only
appeal from a sense OF duty to
lar afflicted citizens.

The Observers special correspondent
at Raleigh, forecasting the democratic
state convention, which will be prot,A-
bly,, held in Charlotte in June, gives
Craig a long lead on the first ballot
with Ashley Horne holding the balance
of power. We have been inclined 70
believe that Horne's strength has been
much under-rated While not sayina
that Craig's strength has been over
rated, we think Horne is now stronger
than is generally known. The indioa-
tions confirm the opinion expressed by
The Chronicle a few days ago and that
after the first ballot Kitchin will cut
but a small figure and that the contest
will be between Craig and Horne, for
1t seems certain that much OF Kitchin'n
following will go to Horne. This
would make the Craig and Horne for
ces very nearly even and the prospect
is held out OF one of the prettiest con-
vention fights on record. There Is not
likely to be an opening for a dark
horse. Both Craig and Horne are GOOD
men and whichever one wins the norni-

hearty support OF the opposition foro-

are two cars running now, one to Gras.
sell and the other one to Adamston.
The Clarksburg fire department was
called out but as there was no fire
plug in Adamston their assistance was
very limited and in a few minutes aft

ing was wrapped in flames which
spread with great rapidity when an oil
tank exploded The water tank
stIlted high in the air caught Rre and
soon the contents were spilled to the
ground. II was soon enyeloped and
threatened the destruction of the car
barn. but fortunately it was pushed
over and further danger to the car
barn was averted.
The property destroyed by the fire
was a one story brick building. 400

generator. several dynamos. severa
transformers and other machinery
The boilers are said to be slightly dam
aged. Three walls of the building are
