EAST TEXAS IRON HILLS
Good Ore Crops Out Clearly on
Nearly Every HiIlock-Judge
Gill Talks.

There is an immense quantity of
good iron ore land in East Texas,
said Judge w. H Gill, chairman of
the penitentiary board, land the big
ore companies in the north and east
are trying to get hold of some of it.
Camp Brothers & Yule of st. Louis is
one of the firms that have been liz
vestigating Texas iron ore fields for
some time 1 do not know anything
about NJ. Schwab and his plans except
what 1 read in the papers.
In North Central and East Texas
almost anywhere there is a hill in
which anyone can see the outcrop-
pings of iron. One can hardly ride
ten miles in Anderson or Cherokee
county, for instance, without coming
across an iron bearing hill, where the
traces of the ore are quite visible"
Judge Gill says that the peniten-
tiary iron works at Rusk is busily en-
gagged in making iron pipe, and that
the capacity of the plant has been
greatly increased, not by the erection
of new buildings or furnaces, but by
improved devices of manufacture and
better methods of labor. He quoted
Assistant Superintendent Durham and
Assistant Financial Agent Quinn as
saying that the plant has now ca
pacity of one hundred tons of pig
iron per day. The first installment of
the coke, of which large amount has
been contracted for, will be received
in few days and the plant has ore
enough ready to run to full capacity.
There is a large supply of needed lime
rock already on hand.
The passenger equipment on the
State road to Palestine was put in
service on Sunday last, and Judge Gill
says that satisfactory service is being |
rendered, both in the freight and pas
senger departments.
Judge Gill has recently returned
from trip to Rusk and PALESTINE

Sented if it fell from his lips, the story
of this reckless sinner at least makes him
little more sympathetic. He profits, momen-
tarily. by the candor which Mr.. Trowbridge
thus ingeniously attributes to him, and makes
perhaps better impression than could other
wise be expected. For one thing, as the narrator
of his own history he heightens the effect of
that picture of his environment which, in any
circumstances would do much to explain. if
not to Condone, his unedifying conduct
The son of Augustus the Strong and Aurora
Won KOnigsmarck he not only began life under
the bar sinister. but grew up with a deplorable
natural heritage. Neither of his parents had
any moral stamina to transmit to him. From
both he drew entirely material traits. In his
earliest youth he was a lover of luxury and ex-
element selfish and eXtravagant. He was gall
liant and he had unquestionably great personal
charm, but that was all. No influences We're ex-
erted to turn him into the path of virtue. The
Saxon court was a sink of iniquity and no one
dreamed of warning him against it's unwhole-
some airs. From the start his mind and soul
were bent upon pleasure. Bribery alone could
bring the lad to follow his studies. To persuade
him TO learn how to write his mother said to
him. 81 will give you a fine horse and a pistol
the day you prove worthy of them" So he
passed from bad to worse, and developed from
possibly ptiable youth into nothing more nor
less than a brilliant blackguard. Mr. Trow-
bridge is amply justified in causing his hero to
speak with cynical freedom of his father and
mother. His affection for them undoubtedly
was determined simply and solely by what he

In the Introductory portion of his essay on
Emerson in the November number Of Serb
nerS" Mr Brownell testifes to the profound
impression made upon him in early youth by n
lecture of the philosophers. The vivid de-
scription that follows shows indeed with what
sympathy he watched and listened. Almost,
we are inclined to think, the occasion was one

OR the character of a dangerous admission.
As Mr.. Brownell develops it. the value and
beauty of EmerSon'S preaching are only made
the more impressive Nothing could be more
Illuminating than the candid, subtle analysis
which he gives to Emerson's philosophy, his
style and his poetry. He knows all about his
hero's limitations and defects. but he knows
also how to adjust them TO the central recti-
tude and weight of EmerSonS genius. The ar
gIment is advanced too, by innumerable happy
sayings in this passage on the Essays:
every statement stimulates thought because it
is suggestive well as expressive. Everything
means something additional. To take it in you

this method is that it would seem to be favor
able to the development in the student of that
sheer gusto for literature which, we have re-
peatedly argued, is the only true source of
anything like progress in literary study The
pupil must above all things, be led to find
pleasure in books, and it is only by some such
large and flexible scheme as that advocated
by Mr.. Erskine that he is likely to have his
sympathieS really awakened.

Norwich bulletin., 1909-07-16
Especial to The Bulletin.l

Hartford, July 15.-There was fav- orably reported in the house this morning the bill affecting the election of assessors in Norwich, which has been hanging fire in the committee on cities and boroughs for a long time, and the reporting of which marks the completion of the sessions work of that committee. The measure as re- ported provides that the assessor of the town of Norwich elected in 1907 shall hold office until the annual town meeting in 1911, and that next October at the annual town meeting there shall be elected another assessor whose term shall be for four years, and that in 1911 there shall be elected two as sessors whose terms shall be for four years.
 This brings about biennial election of assessors and causes the election of one at one election and two at the next, so as to preserve the board of three. It will be seen that if the town of Norwich is able to strengthen the tendency to go republican which has been manifested of late, and elect two republican assessors in 1911, it will be likely that the republican party will have a majority of the board for some time to come, no matter what happens next fall. There is not believed to be any difficulty in the way of the ready passage of the matter through the two houses.
 Bill Regarding Saloons.
