All in the Same Boat.

A farmer living in Kansas rode
to the county attorneys home a
few Sundays ago and demanded
the arrest of some men who were
working the roads, thereby "vio-
lating the Sabbath, The coun'
ty attorney was busy pulling
weeds in the garden. He stopped
long enough, however, to advise
the farmer to go before the JUS
tice of the peace. But the JUS
tice was out fixing his windmill.
He was then asked to telephone
the sheriff, but that official was
loading cattle at the stockyards.
Thoroughly indignant, the man de-
terrnined to saddle a horse and
ride for a constable. But his
wife, who was canning fruit, told
him that the boys had driven the
horse to town, where they had
gone TO attend a baseball game.
The girls, she said, had gone TO a
picnic. Whereupon the farmer
gave it up, and filling a jug with
hard cider he went fishing.

YEGMAN MADE BIC HAUL
Blew Safe with Nitro-gIycerine and

by Associated Press.l

Vancouver, B. c., Sept. 15.-Three
men broke into the New Westminster
branch of the Bank of Montreal last
night. blowing the vault doors with
nitro-glycerine. 1t is reported they got
$4,000, one-half of which sum was
in gold and the other half in currency.
1t later developed that there were
five of the robbers and they got $685.
900. They left 100000 in cash behind.
They dug through brick wall of the
bank at a. m. and did their work
quickly. They bound and gagged the
Chinese caretaker, who was the only
witness. He gave the alarm at $50
a. m. A big automobile which had
been stolen was found in the street
broken down, and it is believed the
robbers tried to use it to escape. No
clue has developed as yet.

Mr.. TOM AYERS KILLED.
Found in Road Unconscious and Died
Without Ever Speaking.

Mr.. Tom Ayers of the Tabor com
munity died yesterday from wounds
received in mysterious manner on
the afternoon before Just how he was
injured will perhaps never be known,
as he never regained consciousness
after being found.
Mr.. Ayers was employed by Mr..
John w. Wiley to haul seed to town
from his gin near Tabor, and for some
time he had been making a trip to
town every day, driving four-mule
team. Wednesday afternoon he left
town about o'clock and when about
five miles from town received the in
juries which later proved fatal. Mr..
Will Frame of Edge was coming to
Bryan and met Mr.. Ayers team in a
high lope without driver He knew
the team and stopped them, and COM
ing about half mile from where he
met the team, found Mr.. Ayers lying
in the road unconscious. He was badly
bruised about the head and shoulders.
Help was summoned and the injured
man was taken to his home, but died
yesterday without speaking or regain
ing consciousness. The theory is that
he was thrown from the mule he was
riding and was kicked and bruised up
by the team and perhaps run over by
the wagon
Mr.. Ayers was about fifty-five years
of age; was good, honest. hard work
ing citizen, and is survived by widow
and several children. The bereaved
family have the profound sympathy of
neighbors and friends in their deep
affliction.

PREMIER sTOLYP|M SHOT
Fired on by Lawyer at Theater-Be-
Iieved He Will Recover.
[By Associated Press |

st. Petersburg, Sept. 15.-The be.
lief that Premier Stolypin, who was
shot by Lawyer Bogrof at theater
at Kieff last night, will recover is
strengthened by telegram to his
brother, Alexander Stolypin, that his
condition is satisfactory and that an
operation will be unnecessary.
The assassination was attempted
under circumstances most dramatic.
At . o'clock, as the theater curtain
rose after the second act intermission,
Premier Stolypin, leaning with his left
arm on the orchestra fence, had
turned his face to the right and to-
ward the center aisle while conversing
with the minister of war and others
'Vf the official party. A young man in
dvening dress moved quietly down the
Center aisle and approached the row
of seats occupied by the ministers, and
appeared to accost Premier Stolypin.
A second later he drew a revolver
from his coat and emptied it SEEM
ingly point blank at Premier Stolypin.
A wild cry followed from the specta-
tors, women tainted and the emperor
sprang from his chair, and after real
izing the situation, ordered the orches-
ira to play the national anthem.

Negro Overseer on Wilson Plantation
AssassinateG-Wife

sassinated about midnight last night.
A double-barrel shotgun was used by
the assassin, and all one side of the
victims neck was shot away. Death
was instantaneous.
Hazely's wife has been arrested,

The dead man was about forty or
forty-flve years old and had been on
Captain Wilson's place for twenty
years or longer. He was good man,
reliable and trustworthy in every par

he was foreman will be hard to fill.

ALLEN ACADEMY OPENING
Formal Exercises This Mornins-sev.

poets for Year FIatterina.

uTdtiiylng ana abundant manifesta-
tions of its continued growth and ex-
pansion were much in evidece at the
formal opening OF Allen Academy of
this city this morning at 9 o'clock. OF
the dozen and more formal openings
OF this deserving institution since its
establishment in Bryan none has been
so auspicious and encouraging.
The opening exercises this morning
were brief and simple, yet interesting
and impressive BY special invitation
most of the Sunday schools and
churches of the city were represented
IN the person of their pastor or some
official, and these, with quite num-
Der OF Bryans most progressive bust
ness men who were present. were
given an opportunity to voice the vel
come which the whole citizenship of
Bryan extends to the large student
body drawn to our city from the vari-
GUS parts of the state and Southwest
by this school.
After the reading of a scripture les
son by Rev. Glenn Finn, pastor Of
the First Methodist church, and prayer
by Rev. j. T, Caughley, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church, few OPEN
ing words were spoken by Prof. John
III Allen and these were followed by
quite number of short addresses.
Those speaking were Revs. ]. N.
Thomas, Glenn Finn and J. T. Caugh-
ley, and Messrs. H. 0. Boatwright.
Robert Armstrong, A. NJ. Waldrop,
George Brandon and Commercial Sec
retary Hewitt These addresses were
all full of kindly interest in the young
men, some of them sprinkIed with
good advice, and were received with
enthusiastic applause.
To one accustomed to attend the
openings of Allen Academy the stu
dent body present this morning pre-
sented quite contrast to former stu
dent bodies by reason of the absence
of the small boy. The boy with knee
pants is a rarity this year, the stu
dents in the main ranging from seven
teen to twenty years of age Most of
them come with advanced credits and
the best work in the history of the
institution seems possible this year.
The enrolment of new students to
date has gone at least twenty per
cent ahead of last year, and the old
students are still dropping in and will
be for some days.
Among the announcements made at
the opening this morning was one re-
garding the work of the Y. NJ. C. A.
for next year. The moral and relig-
ious welfare of the students of the
academy is well provided for and no
other force is contributing more along
this line than the academy Y. NJ. C. A.
Quite number of the leaders of this
organization have assisted materially
this year in the work of greeting the
new students and the prospects for its
future, like that of the school. were
never quite so good
The new men in the academy facul-
ty are now all at their posts and with
out some serious mishap the school
will this year score its largest sue
cess, and more firmly than ever estab-
lish itself as one of Bryan's most val
liable assets.

In response to a query as to where
the different breeds of cattle, their
names and the countries they come
from, together with the best dairy
and beef strains, the Hoard's Dairy
man makes the following reply:
There are five prominent breeds Of
dairy cattle, in this country, the Jer-
sey, Guernsey, Holstein-Friesian, Ayr
shire and Brown Swiss; and three
less prominent, the Dutch Belted,
Kerry and Dexter-Kerry.
The Jersey breed originated in the
Island of Jersey, the. G~uernseys in an
other of the Channel islands, called
the Island Of Guernsey. Holland is
the home of the Holstein-FriesianG
also the Dutch Belted. The Ayr
shires originated in the county Of
Ayr, in the southwestern part of
Scotland. Switzerland is the native
home of the Brown Swiss. There are
two types Of Kerry cattle which orig
mated in Ireland; the true Kerry"
and the Dexter-Kerry.

BETTER PRICES FOR COTTON
Sure Method Is to Quit the one-Crop
System and Resort to Diversl-
fled Farming.

There is one remedy and only me
remedy for low-priced cotton. We
must quit the one-crop system and re-
sort to diversified farming and stock
raising. We must live at home, board
at the same pleace, wear our old
clothes, use our old buggies, and live
in our old houses until we get out OF
debt. We will then be free American
citizens and in a position to secure an
equitable price for our cotton.
There is no sane man who does not
know that we will get more money for
ten million bales than we will for ff-
teen million bales. The history Of the
past 20 years is proof positive Of this
statement. We all know that large
crops Of cotton mean a low price and
that a low price for cotton means pow
erty and wretchedness all over the
south. This being true. why will
southern farmers and their wives and
children work in large cotton fields in
the heat and cold for about 300 days
in the year to grow a large crop Of
cheap cotton to pay for high-priced
corn, bacon, lard, mules, and other
farm products with the profits of sew
eral middlemen, railroads, and supply
merchants added? There IL no SEN
sible reason.
The too exclusive culture Of cotton
has forced the price of cotton far be-
low an equitable one and established
the credit system. AS long as south
ern farmers raised their supplies at
home there was no overproduction OF
cotton and no necessity for the credit
system. What hope is there for better
prices for cotton as long as the hus-
band, wife and children cultivate by
far the larger part of the farm in cot
ton to pay for corn, mules. horses.
bacon, lard and other farm products
bought at princely profits added as
credit profits? There is no hope,
The growing Of every farm product
necessary for home use will curtail
the production of cotton, raise the
price to at least Is cents per pound,
and in addition, will enable us to use
the money obtained for cotton to build
magnificent homes, churches, good
roads, educate our children, and fill
our banks to overlooking. The hold
ing of a part of our cotton from the
market will be of only temporary ben
eft, while the growing Of feed, food
and live stock will decrease the yield
of cotton, almost do away with the
necessity for the credit system and
enable us to hold our cotton until we
obtain equitable prices.
