DOUBLE HEADER ON FOURTH.
ltichland and Wnlllulla Teams Had
Hard Struggles for Supremacy.

The Jeffries-JOhnsOn contest was
| insignificant when compared to the
battle IN Walhalla on July 4th. For
three and half hours the represent
tatives Of Walhalla and Richland
struggled for supremacy on the dia-
mond. Neither side would throw up
the sponge SO Referee Humphries
called it draw. H.

favorable to the visitors than the
local ball tos5ers and they pushed
two men across the plate while only
one scored for Walhalla Hugns,
who was put down for the full count
IN the game at Seneca last week, was
again on the mound for the visitors
and hurled the sphere across the
Plate with lightning speed, scorching
the air with his shoots. Thirty-five
times Walhalla's batsmen faced him
with their favorite clubs on their
shoulders, each one determined to
knock the cover off the ball, but only
four times did they connect safely.
In the last half Of the seventh, the
final round OF the first contest. the
home team came to bat with the
score to 0 in Rchland's favor.
Lewis, first up, picked out one that
suited him and drove it to right field
Tor the first sack. On II. Hetrick' S
bunt, Davis, playing third, got his
icet and hands mixed up in an at
tempt to field the ball and Lewis
took second with the batter safe at
first.
The Richland team made an ascen-
sion at this point and Gaillard ad-
vanced the runners and made first
on his bunt. Rowland was the "man
OF the hour" when he scored Lewis
with Walhalla's first and what PROV
ed to be their only run in the first
game. But Richland came to cart h
again in time to save the game and
the next battors were easy outs.

PENITENTIARY BILL PASSED
BY the Senate, and the Measure Is
Now Up to the House.

Austin, Texas, Sept. 2.-The senate
finally passed the prison reform bill
today and the house made consider
able progress by disposing of a num-
Der of amendments However, the
house authorized the use of strap fol-
lowing halliday debate, by a vote of
40 to AZ. The house s=ae.st2l sassses II
similar to the amendment voted down
in the senate and was offered by Mr..
Stamps, a member of the penitentiary
investigating committee. 1t restricts
the use of the ''bat" to prisoners of
the third class and limits the number
of blows to twenty. There were many
amendments offered during the day
and some of these adopted amplify
and broaden the reform bill.
The senate, by vote of % to Z,
this afternoon finally passed the peni-
Tertiary reform bill carrying the
emergency clause. AS passed by the
senate the bill will go into immediate
effect and allow Governor Campbell
the appointment of the first three
commissioners, whose terms shall
expire coincidentally with his admin
istration. The political issue involved,
while at times dominant, was finally
settled satisfactorily through conces-
sions made on both sides The SEN
ate has done its part now and the
question of penitentiary reform is up
to the house for final settlement.

A FINAL APPEAL.

This will be the last opportunity the
Herald will have to plead with the
property taxpayers of the city to vote
for the park bond issue next Tuesday,
and the appeal is made n, 49, n
ness. The time is opennSa 1 HlIa zane
purchase Ike f,sir zznaud Ella Gait
adjusted SO as to add nothing
to our present tax rate, the property
suitable for parks is available, and
there is no reason why the matter
should be deferred longer. Some peo-
pie base their opposition to the bond
issue because they say they are OPP
posed to the present administration.
This is not reasonable proposition,
for the reason that the parks are not
being voted to the administration,
but to the city for all time. The pres
emit administration may pass out but
the parks will remain permanent in
vestment and permanent institution to
the town. Every man entitled to a
vote should be serious in this matter.
1t is simply a question of parks or no
parks. All progressive towns have
parks, and it is only a question of
time when Palestine must have them,
If it expects to keep to the front, but
there may not come another time
when we can get as desirable loca-
lions on such favorable terms. Vote
for the bonds, and if there are other
questions to be. settled let's settle
them in their own good time.

SCRIPTURE.
/. *************:
Proverbs 8.


Happy is the man that findeth wis
dom and the man that getteth under
standing.
For the merchandise of it is better
than the merchandise of silver and
gold
She is more precious than rubies
and all the things thou canst desire
are not to be compared unto her.
Length of days is in her right
hand; and in her left hand riches and
honor
Her ways are ways of pleasantness
and all her paths are peace.
She is tree of life to them that
lay hold upon her; and happy is every
one that retaineth her
The Lord by wisdom has founded
the earth; by understanding hath he
established the heavens.
By his knowledge the depths are
broken UP and the clouds drop down
the dew
My son, let them not depart from
thine eyes. Keep sound wisdom and
discretion.
So shall they be life to thy sou!
and grace for thy neck.
For the Lord shall be thy conf
deuce and shall keep thy foot from
being taken.

will be astonished. The Palestine
Daily Herald prints the following:
Careful estimates make the mum.
Der of new people locating in Texas
during the last year or two average
100000 annually. 1t is a notable fact
that they are as a whole well-to-do,, a
very large number of them travelling
in Pullman cars, and having ample
ready money when reaching Texas to
purchase land for cultivation.-Dalla
Times Herald. The facts as here re-
cited should afford inspiration for the
people of East Texas and make them
determine to get busy and get a
share of this immigration No Sec
ton of Texas can offer better induce
ments to the man who wants to make
a living from the soil The trouble
with East Texas is that it has not
gone strong enough on advertising.
We here at home know we have a
great country, but we have not been
active in letting other people know
about it. For the next year every eff
fort should be made to send the fame
of East Texas to people who are hunt
ing new homes"
The Herald is right. 1t is up to
the people of East Texas. They have
a favored section, they have cheap
lands, they have a magnificent eli
mate, they should organize and ad-
vertise and get their share of the i'm
headed for Texas. AS has
been pointed out by President E. J.
Kiest of the State Fair of Texas,
East Texas should produce hogs in
sufficient numbers to supply the pack
ers of Texas and to supply the bacon
