May Vet Become . Candidate For
Congress From This District.


MIR. J. C. McNealus. staff corres.
pondent for the Houston Post. has
the following to say In sunday. issue
relative TO Hon. w. c. Davis OF this
city and the congressional race:
Information from the Sixth congres
sional district Is that Congressman
Rufus Hardy has stirred up things by
his Cameron speech against Senator
Bailey. Hen. W. c. Davis. the rep.
rescntatiye OF Brazos county In the
State legislature. It II stated will soon
make a decision whether he will
measure lances with Mr.. Hardy In
next years campaign. From friends Of
MIR. Davis. II Is learned that he will
pr. badly decide to enter the contest.
They declare that Mr.. Davis IN easily
the right timber for such race. He
Is bright young lawyer. he has made
a fine record in the Legislature. and
during the last session he was spoken
OF for speaker. both nj the beginning
OF the session and when there was
a change In the leadership OF the
house by the Withdrawal OF Speaker
Kennedy. In the Thirtieth legislature
he was one Of the strongest support
ers OF Senator Bailey. and the part he
took in the parliamentary discussion
of the Bailey incident was effective.
He Is the author of some OF the sa-
lutary laws that we're passed BY the
two legislatures OF which he was a
member. one especially being that
which fixed the consecutive hours In
which a telegraph operator handling
messages in regard TO the dispatch
ing OF trains would be allowed to
work While this appears at first
blush a labor measure. Il can be seen
that Il Is more than that. from the
isct thht II contributes TO the safety
OF the travelling public because Il will
not allow a man to put In hours In
this occupation that has TO do with the
safe conduct OF trains when he Is tired
and sleepy. whether he wants to do
so or not. Mr.. Davis Is native of
Texas. Is yet in his thirties. Is Of com-
manding personal appearance. and In
voice and speech makes attractive any
discussion in which he engages.
He viii have the Milan county folks
with him. and there are friends In
Robertson and Limestone who will
help him. He believes his chances
are favorable and so do those who
have conferred with HIM"

KING COMES IN AS JUNK
ABOARD A FREIGHT SHIP.

Boston. Nov. 29.-Rameses, King Of
Egypt, is resting aboard the steamship
Aragonia while the vessel is discharg-
ing a portion of her cargo here, pre-
paratory to proceeding to New York
The monarch, whose age is estimated
at about 5000 years, was lifted aboard
the steamer by the seamen at Suez,
with New York for destination.
Rameses-just which one of the
long line of Egyptian sovereigns of
that name has not been determined
is mummy. Although the remains
weigh but 125 pounds, they are so
carefully packed in lead, iron and
wood that in their case weigh more
than 1000 pounds On the outside
of the case are the words, Valued at
$4,000.

greater good to the future of the stace

ANO Their PROMISE BROKEN.

Acknowledgment is made by lead
ing Republican congressman that
there is little chance for postal saw
ings bank system being put in opera
ton in this country. The open oppo-
sition of the bankers, and the secret
antipathy of the leaders to the plan,
will be sufficient to deter action on
any bill looking to that end. OF course
there is the specious plea that it is adj
visable to await the report of the mon
etary commission, of which Aldrich is
Aldrich represents the Eastern mon
eyed interests which are hostile to
the postal savings bank system the
likelihood of the commission ever re-
porting in favor of such system is
exceedingly remote.
OF course the Republicans endorsed
some such plan in their national plat
form. That was to offset the Demo-
cratic plank calling for the creation
of a protective fund for depositOrs by
the levying of tax on all banks. 1t
was feared that this would appeal to
the Western states and an offset was
deemed necessary The postal saw
ings bank provided it. Having served
the useful purpose of keeping voters
in line it is now to be discarded as in
eXpedient and unwise.
This is the usual Republican method
of buncoing the voters. Before the
election it was generally understood
that the party was pledged to a down
ward revision of the tariff After the
election it was learned that revision
really meant the Strengthening of the
strangle grasp of certain highly pro-
tected interests on the throat of the
consumers. The postal savings bank
plank follows the downward revision
professions to the dump heap. What
will next be disowned and discarded
remains to be developed.
Every four years the country IS
| treated to an exhibition of this sort,
the making of promises with the re-
| served intention on the part of those
who control of ignoring them after the
election has been won. The American
voters are certainly long suffering
and exceedingly patient people. Per-
haps they regard even this sort of
| treachery as preferable to four years
of Bryan. That is about the only in
ference one can draw from the history
of the past twelve years.

FOR CULTURED WOMANHOOD IN
GEORGIA.

| The growing devotion to the cause
| of female higher education is shown
in the efforts now being made to pro-
vide largely increased endowments
for three of the leading institutions of
this character in the state, Agnes
Scott, Wesleyan and Bessie Tiff. Each
of these admirably managed schools
is now working Zealously to enlarge
the scope of its usefulness and equip
itself more effectively for the higher
intellectual training of women by the
creation of a handsome endowment
that will relieve it of the financial anx-
ieties of the past, provide it with
new buildings and modern equipment,
and enable it to meet in every way the
demands for colleges that are fully on
a parity with the best in other sec
tions of the country.
The need for an ambitious young
woman to leave Georgia to complete
her education is being removed by the
Improvement of the colleges we now
have. 1t is true that many of these in
stitutions are but little removed from
high school or academy, but the
four or five larger and more promi-
nent colleges have persistently ad-
vanced their standards until today they
rank with the finer institutions Of the
North and West. If the additional
funds they are now seeking are secur-
ed there is no question that it will bA
so judiciously expended that the three
colleges referred to will assume a
position of much greater Importance,
draw to themselves a much larger
student body, and become much great
er centres of future intellectual activ-
ity.
1t was in Georgia that the first col
lege for the education of women was
established. For a half century the
education of young women has been
encouraged as far as the limited f1nan-
cial ability of the people would per-
nit The years of prosperity that have
come upon the state, the rapid adj
vance along other lines, undoubtedly
permit of its making more adequate
provision for the mental culture of |
its daughters. Magnificent progress
has been made in the past, in the face
of difficulties that required a spirit of
uns%efving self sacrifice to overcome,
and from it we can judge what would |
be accomplished if the money were at
hand with which to develop these in
situations as they should be developed |
The entire state has been following |
with much interest the steps that have
been taken to raise large endowments
for the three colleges referred to.
Success seems almost within their
grasp. 1t will certainly be the fervent
hope of every lover of higher educa-
ton, every one who is proud of Geor-
gia and DESTROYS that its young wo-
men shall have ample opportunity TO
