NEED Or A COMMERCIAL CLUB
Seems to Be General Sentiment That
Club Should Be Organized.

Herewith are some expressions
from citizens of WaXahachle with
reference to the organization of a
commercial club:
Hill Harbin-Every good town
needs a commercial club, especially
WaXahachie, for the reason that we
have been without such an organi-
zation so long that other towns have
forged ahead of us.
J. A. Weaver-Unquestio a
well organized commercial club With
its working efforts directed toward
making known to the outside world
the advantages of that city possess
ing one and the persistent boost
ing" that should characterize an or
sanitation Of that nature is the best
means of accomplishing the greatest
results. BY all means Waxahachie
should have one.
]. Lee PENN heartily favor this
proposition. Don't see how We can
do without it.
Z. f. Phillips-ln the matter OF
commercial club for WaXahachle,
there is no doubt in my mind but
what through organization OF brains,
energy and capital is the way that
towns and cities are built. This be-
/ ing the case the commercial club Is
step in the right direction, i get
the idea from cities where the peo-
| pie are actually doing things.

WEALTHY FARMER
KILLED BY SON
A. D. Bryant Is the Victim Of a
Shotgun Tragedy Sunday
Morning.
HEAD FILLED WITH SHOT
One Charge from Weapon Strikes
Man in Face and Head and Pro-
duces Instant Death-Shoot-
ing Follows Quarrel.

AS a result of a tragedy which
was enacted two miles east of Fer
ris about s O'Clock Sunday morning
A. d. Bryant, wealthy farmer OF
Ellis county. is dead and his son
Burrel Bryant. is being hunted by
the officers. The shooting took place
at the home of Burrel Bryant and
was the sequel to a quarrel which
had taken place just a few minutes
before between father and son re-
garding the upsetting of a bucket OF
sausage in the sons we'll.
The two men lived about two
hundred yards apart and it seems
that beth families used water from
a we'll at the home of young Bryant.
The young man had let some sausage
down i'll the well and early Sunday
morning while the elder Bryant was
attempting 70 draw a bucket of wa
ter he overturned the vessel contain
ing the meat. 1t is said that a quarrel
took place between the two men as
to which should clear the we'll of
the water which had been affected
by the meat 1t is said that while the
heated argument was in progress the
elder Bryant was standing with one
foot on the back gallery step and
that he had an open knife in his
hand The son, who was in the kitch-
en-, seized a butcher knife and start
ed toward his father, but the young
mans wife interfered and wrested
the knife out of his hand. He then
ran into another room and came
back through the kitchen with a

him but he pushed her aside, so II
is claimed and she then called to
her father-in-law to run that her
husband intended killing him. Her
warning cry did not reach him in
time and before he could move he
was shot down in his tracks by his
son. Only one charge was fired and
this took effect squarely in the face
and forehead, producing instant
death.
Immediately following the shoot
ing it is said that young Bryant
mounted a horse and fled toward
the Trinity river bottoms.
The offices of the sheriff and
county attorney were notified of the
killing soon after it occurred. Sheriff
Forbes and County Attorney Pippen
left at once for the scene of the
shooting. Mr.. Pippen returned Sun
day night but Sheriff Forbes is con-
tinuing the search for the young
man.

wears old and was one of the mos

people a chance to know what ought

Ascends Higher than Any Other
Aviator and Reaches Ali
tude Of 1900 Feet.
FUTURE EMPEROR GOES UP
Describing the Record breaking Flight
the American Aviator Says Ii
Feels No Different to Fly
High than Sail Low.

Potsdam, Germany, Oct. 4-Or-
vile Wright, the American aviator,
Saturday broke his own and all 9TH
er records for high flying He reach
ed the Unprecedented height OF more
than 1000 feet, although an official
measurement was not taken.
He had a red letter day in a dou-
Bile sense in his experience az an
aviator, taking Crown Prince Fred
erick William as a passenger, and
more than doubling the altitude rec
ord which he made recently over the
same field.
The crown prince had been con-
stantly urging Wright, since he saw
the a narican fly, te take him up az
a passenger. Wright evaded this re-
sponsibility while making flights at
the Templehof field, owing to the
unfavorable winds, but since the be-
ginning OF the flights at Bornstadt
field near Potsdam, the prince has
been telephoning the aviator every
morning asking him if he was ready
to crafty his request. Wright final
ly consented Saturday.
The prince reached the field at
4:3O O'Clock in the afternoon with
our his adiutant. After drawing on
his overcoat al Wrights suggestion,
to save his uniform from being be-
spattered with oil, the prince took
his seat alongside the aviator and
the machine rose in the air. Wright
kept it at the height of about TWEEN
ty feet for a brief period, but the
crown prince exclaimed: Higher
higher" Finally the aviator went up
about sixty feet and the crowds
heartily cheered the prince, who
waved back his acknowledgements.
The aeroplane glided back to the
starting point ten minutes later.
When he returned to the earth
Wright, speaking of his marvellous
flight, said:
Il never flew so high before. No
measurement was taken, but | es-
innate that ! reached an altitude of
500 meters l637 feet) 1t is diff

JUDGE BROOKS WITH THE ANTS
North Texas Jurist Consults With
Leaders in Houston.

Between the endorsement of
Judge NJ. NJ Brooks of Dallas or
present Railroad Commissioner o.
b. Colquitt as a candidate for COVER
nor the forces opposed to statewide
prohibition have been hesitating.
On Saturday Judge Brooks came
to Houston to canvass the situation.
Here, addressing himself to a num-
Der of those interested in the cam
paign, he declared that he was not a
"state-wider," and the impression
was given that he would veto an at
tempt to pass statutory prohibition.
Judge Brooks took lunch with
Hon. C. c. Highsmith at the Rice to-
tel and there about the table were
gathered number of gentlemen
anxious to learn the exact stand of
the candidate for governor who had
previously been characterized as an
advocate OF prohibition. Mr.. r. l..
Autrey, secretary of the Houston Ice
and Brewing company, was seated
with others
Judge Brooks stated emphatically
that he was not of the dry clan,
and cited an interview as published
in the San Antonio Express in 1905
TO support his declaration. He said
the element of prohibition had no
place in the gubernatorial campaign
of three years ago, and had not been
considered by him in that event of
such Importance as to warrant a
declaration either for or against.
Every phase of the situation was
canvassed by those engaged in the
conference, which was in no sense
secret. The Dallas judge was general
ly introduced and addressed his re-
marks indiscriminately.
Mr.. Highsmith stated that he had
questioned Judge Brooks on his at
titude as to a statutory prohibition
and that the candidate had declareu
