BAY CITY WANTS THE
EXPERIMENT STATION
Farmers Institute to meet there July
10 and Launch Moye-Everyone
Invited by 10000 Club.

To The Herald.
duly 1.-Cii Saturday, July 9th the
Matagorda County Farmers Institute
will meet at Bay City for the purpose
of launching a movement to secure
tn location near that city, of the
state experiment station which is
to be established in the rice belt of
Texas.
Statistics show that Bay City is
the center of the west half of theTex-
as rice belt. AS three trunk lines of
railway pass through that town max
ing it accessible from all sections of
the district, it is thought to be the
logical location for the proposed sta
ton.
For this occasion low excursion
rates have been arranged over all the
roads and the people from all the
surrounding counties are cordially
invited by the hustling citizens of Bay
City to be their guests for that day.
Governor Campbell, Lieut.. Governor
Davidson and Commissioner of Agri-
culture Hon. E R. Kone, have been in
vited and are expected to be present.
AS a provision against the visitors
going hungry while there the Ten
Thousand Club of Bay City will serve
a grand barbecue. An instructive and
entertaining program will be carried
out by the institute including ad
dresses by the prominent state Off
Gals present and by others. Music
will be furnished by the National Rice
Growers Band, and other lighter di-
versions will be provided.

| Ii is not a matter of interest 10 Ben
nington alone, but affects the honor
and self respect of every citizen of the
County. You will note that the fore.
man and clerk who have signed the
above quoted grand jury reports are
not citizens of Bennington, but well
known and honorable citizens of other
towns of the County who have person
ally examined the premises and know
whereof they speak. The town of Ben
nington had no larges representation
on these grand juries of Bennington
County than any other town and any
body familiar with the grand juries Of
Bennington County will know that these
citizens of the county would not con-
denim the county buildingf unless con-
ditions compelled them so to do.
The bill passed by the Legislature
and the provisions of which are to be
submitted to the voters of the county
at the coming March meetings place
the question thoroughly before thepeo-
Pile, and believe that the people of the
county are prepared to act thereon
without prejudice or sectional feeling.
The provisions of the bill make the
burden very slight one, limiting the
tax to five cents on dollar each year
beginning in 1911, and forbidding the
committee to even start work on the
building unless they find that the en-
tire expense Of erecting such buildings
shall not exceed $4,000.
The committee placed in charge is
composed of three well known citizens
of the North Shire and two from the
South Shire. Only one member of the
committee of five is from Bennington
and he is man whose services will be
particularly valuable to the county as
he has had much experience in erect
ing public buildings that have proved
highly creditable and satisfactory, and
at remarkably small expense.
| feel sure that if the conditions of the
present county Jail and court house at
Bennington can be realized by the
voters of the county. they will say by
an overwhelming majority that the
county has been long enough disgrace
ed by the building now in use and that
the committee be empowered to pro-
coed at once with the remedy.
Thanking you for the use of your
space, remain, Very truly,

Low Rates to State Fair

The railroads of Arkansas are cooperating in every possible way to make the State Fair an unprecedented success. Upon request: and without hesitation they have authorized an open rate of one fare for round trip from all points in the state to Hot Springs and return, with a minimum selling rate of one dol lar. The tickets will be on sale October 4th to 18th, inclusive, and the holders may leave Hot Strings up to and including Octo- Der 16th.
 Under this exceptionally favor able arrangement, exhibitors can reach Hot Springs in ample time to carefully register and display their exhibits before the fair opens October 7th. They will also be enabled to remain to speak and to reship their exhi- bits after the fair closes October 10. In addition, the long time limit of the ticketc will afford thousands of people an oppertu- nity to make their first visit to the famous national resort and take a series of baths, which are especially valuable at that season of the year for toning up the sys- tenn to withstand the rigors of the winter.

An important deal was con summated last Friday and is one that will probably mean much for Carlisle.
 E. H. Allain exchanged his stock of general merchandise to I. E. Tunis for the local electric light plant and the residence property occupied by J. E. Dee ter and family.
 It is the purpose of MT. Allain to at once erect a new building for the power house and install the latest and most modern ma chinery which will give his pa irons the best of service along this line. He also anticipates early improvements in the resi- dence property secured in the deal.
 MT. Tunis, who assumes con- trol of the mercantile stock, for merly conducted a like business in Carlisle and is well eXperi- enced in that line. He has not vet announced his intentions, but if he continues in the busi- ness he will command a large trade. We wish both of them full measure of success ln their respective lines.

Very FIattering

All previous records will be
 broken. 3400 square feet of
 floor space.
 The Tyler Commercial Col
 lege of Tyler, Texas, has now the largest Summer attendance in its history, and from present indications, it's Fall attendance
 will far surpass that of any pre- vious year. The indications are so strong that we are adding to our already two large buildings. 3.400 square feet of floor space, to accommodate the great crowd of new students that will soon begin to come in. Some ask why we have more students in daily attendance than any other four schools in the state com. bined. The answer is simple; in the first place, we have the exclusive control of the famous Byrne Simplified Shorthand and Practical Bookkeeping, and these systems alone entitle us to patronage far beyond that of any other commercial school. With these systemes we can turn out better bookkeeper or stenographer in half the time and at half the cost required by other schools teaching other sys- tens. This is a great saving of time and expense to any student. In our Telegraphy department, we have the Cotton Belt Train Wire, all the station blanks and record books, all Western Union Supplies, something not found in any other school of telegraphy In the second ploce, this institu- tion is managed by successful business; we own our buildings, have them equipped with over S19, 100000 worth of furoiture and supplies. We employ the best teaching talent to be had; our school is so large that we can classify and systematic our work far beyond the possibility of a small school. We have won a reputation for placing our graduates with responsible firms. at good salaries, with good promotion ahead. We long ago learned that the success of our institution depends upon the success of our graduates, so it is our first aim to see that the stu dent is thoroughly qualified; our second aim is to see that he has the very best position we can obtain for him. His excellent work, his financial success rec commends our school to his friends.
