LEr PORCH LIGHTS BURN
Suggestion For lighting the city Dur
w ing Fair. W

Editor Reflector: Let me suggest
that people should allow their porch
lights to burn all night and every
night while the fair visitors are In
town. There is nothing much more
to be desired than plenty Of illumi-
nation when Abilene has visitors,
A great majority Of the homes
over town have porch lights, in fact
there are few houses on the principal
streets that do not have them these
days. There are hundreds of them
and, burning all at one time and all
night long, makes a street about as
light as day. With the reflection
that comes from the porch and from
the house itself the light often does
as much good, almost, as an arc
light at the street corner. 1t is GER
tain that the porch light, placed
right, gives more illumination than
the larger lights do, in the darkest
of dark places.
The expense of burning a porch
light all night long is trifling, at the
present low price of electric current.
It will increase the bill SO little that
1t will not amount to enough to talk
about. And 1t will do lots of good.
1t will look well to the stranger. It
will be of help to the stranger, too.
for he often comes to town on the
night trains.
There. are lots Of ways to do some
thing good for Abilene. Here is a
way that is commendable and in
which nearly everyone, In the princi-
pal streets, can take part. 1t will not
be expensive and 1t will help to boost
the fair and the city, something that
every man, woman and child in Abb
lene wants to do. Let the porch
lights burn. A CITIZEN.

THEY ARE AFTER THEM.
Chapman Wants to Know Who OBJ
structed the Road.

The following notice appears In
the Chapman Advertiser, signed by
the Commercial club and relates to
the obstruction of the road on the
day before the automobile race:
Fifty dollars reward will be paid
for the arrest and conviction, or any
information leading to the arrest
and conviction of the party or parties
who INSTRUCTED the public highway
between sections 8 and Z Noble town
ship, Dickinson county, Kansas, on or
about the 9Th day of September,
1909"
There is another story in circu-
lation here about the affair. Some
motorists drove into an Abilene gar
age the day Of the Chapman race and
said that they had been over the road
referred to the day before and their
machine was stuck on the freeman
hill. They said they gathered stones
and blocked the wheels until they
could make progress and then went
on and left the stones in the road.
Maybe they were the guilty parties.
One fact however makes the motor
lists story thin. It is said that a road
scraper was turned over the stones
with its point uphill and when the
first car came against 1t going down.
hill 1t nearly caused a wreck.

THEY DREAM on TREAsURE.
Hope Has Found Gave Where Ban.
dts Hid.

Hope Dispatch: The workmen
who have been digging large reser-
voir for sewer purposes for the Hope
creamery, fell into cave last Satur-
day when they were down about
twenty-five feet. While the rock Ia
not solid, being something like shale,
there is a large crevice in It running
in several directions. This crevice
is filled with soft mud In which q
pole was showed for eight or ten
feet.
There seems to be no doubt but
that the surplus water from the
creamery will find a way out through
this reservoir, but what effect 1t will
have on the wells In the vicinity OF
the creamery is hard to state at this
time. We hope there will be no III
effects. The ordinary well is fifty
to sixty feet deep, and the reservoir
is only twenty-five feet deep.
Years ago Jack Markley and A.
Henquenet used to spend considera-
BILE time searching for a cave in this
vicinity, wherein was buried treas
ure left by some of the bandits OF
the plains. They had maps of the To-
cation of the cave, but never could
find it. Perhaps the finding Of this
cave will give them a pointer They
have our permission to come and in

'BRAVEsT MAN OF YEAR
George Smith of Woburn Sands, Eng

Royal Humane Society.
ISpecial to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
81 London, March 10.-George Smith,
of Woburn Sands, has been adjudged
by the Royal Humane Society the
bravest man of 1908, and has been
presented with the society's Stan
hope gold medal The deed which
won Smith the coveted award was
particularly heroic one. On Octo-
Der "a a workman was engaged in
clearing ballast from the top of a
kiln in Woburn Sands, when part Of
the roof gave way, and he fell into
the kiln, being buried up to his waist
in red-hot ballast. The barrow which
he was using blocked the entrance to
the kiln, save for the space of about
a foot across. Through this opening
Smith made his way, and in the in
tense heat, surrounded by choking
dust and poisonous gases, with the
remainder of the roof liable to fail
in at any moment, he succeeded i'll
rescuing his fellow-workman-in such
a badly injured state, however, that
he died some days later.

PRODUCT MAP OF TEXAS.

+. -,a l. [
The Texas Commercial Secretaries
Association has just had printed and
distributed a very valuable map OF
the state, showing the agricultural,
mineral and factory output of every
county in the state, and it makes
most interesting reading. In agricul-
tural productions Ellis county leads
in the state with an output of over
eleven million dollars in products of
the farm. Many other counties are
close to that mark IN East Texas
some interesting figures are shown
Take the three counties, Anderson,
Cherokee and Smith, forming the
heart of the great East Texas fruit
and truck belt, and they fall way
short of other counties in agricultu-
raj products, and Anderson county is
the smallest producer of the three.
But we lead both of the other coun-
ties in mineral and factory products.
This showing bears out contention
the Herald has long INDUCED in, that
Anderson county is one of the richest
counties in natural resources in the
state, but we have never had suffl-
cient country population to get the
results. This county is rich in min
erals and abounds in the finest tim
bers for manufacturing and all that,
but we have been slow in cultivating
our resources This county could pro-
duce eleven millions of farm products
as we'll as Ellis if it was filled with
progressive farmers. The informa-
ton contained in this map is worth
studying and while it makes poor
showing for Anderson county it
should inspire greater effort on our
parts to mend the matter. This coun-
ty has enough of the finest Orange
: burg tobacco soil to make it the rich
est county in Texas if the land was
occupied and cultivated to its capac-
ity. Many people do not know of this
fine tobacco land, or anything else
about our lands, and we should make
strenuous efforts to acquaint all Of
the country with such facts. Instead
of Anderson county producing less
than two millions of farm product:
she should be near the top of the col
umn. The opportunities are here ant
all we need are people to use the
pillow and the hoe. In short, we neet
to do more advertising. The loca

spend thousand dollars this year il

Good Cough Medicine For Children.

SOOQ SOuSu mC0iStiC StuSAs 49,
The season for coughs and cold is
now at hand and too much care can
not be used to protect the children. A
child is much more likely to contract
diphtheria or scarlet fever when ne
has a cold. The quicker you cure his
cold the less the risk. Chamberlain,s
Cough Remedy is the sole reliance OF
many mothers, and few of. those who
have tried it are willing to use any
other. Mrs. F. F. Starcher of Ripley,
w. Va, says: 81 have never used any
thing other than Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy for my children, and it has
always given good satisfaction" This
remedy contains no opium or other
narcotic and may be given as conf

The rate law fight in Missouri is
not vet finished, Notwithstanding the
temporary victory for the roads. The
case is to be taken to the supreme
court for final hearing. The roads
satisfied the trial court that the pro-
posed rates under the state law did
not allow them a fair profit. There
are two ways of figuring expenses
and profits for a railroad. The roads
figure certain profit on all invest
ments, including bonds and stocks
while others contend that the stock
values should not be figured in on
the expenses. That is probably the
point the higher court will settle.
