MR.. DE CROIx'S LETTER.

Mr.. De Croix's letter published in
Yesterdays Eagle was not written for
publication and it was a straining Of
a principle of newspaper ethics to pub
lish it without his consent, but after
our statement compiled from data fur
nished by Secretary Hewitt it would
have been unjust to Mr.. De Croix not
to present his side of the case, and
the only means we had of doing this
was to publish his letter. In our state

WARNING TO MIGRANTS.

Yesterday The Eagle published this
clipping from the Cuero Star under
the head. "Oh, for Constable York
in Bryant"
"The Star is informed that Consta-
BILE York today notified number oil
young men that they must get to
work or he would run them in as va
grants. They were not negroes, either
He is exactly right. There never was
a truer saying than an idle brain is
the devils workshop"
This morning Constable c. l.. baker
called at The Eagle office and, refer
ring to the above PARAGRAPH, said that
there are Migrants, both white and
black, in Bryan, and that it is his in
tention to enforce the law against
them without discrimination. The
farmers need cotton-choppers and il
these gentry don't want to be run in
as vags they had better hike for the
fields, or at least hunt honest jobs OF
some sort.
Everybody knows Constable Baker
and this warning will be received at
par value While not extensively Off
cious in the discharge of his duty. ne
is always ready to respond when pub
lie opinion demands vigorous action.
All good citizens want to get rid of the
vags and will applaud heroic meas
ures, if such are necessary.

Mr.. De Croix the injustice to assume
that he was the author of the letter
signed "The Hearne Democrat but
his letter to us shows plainly that
that letter was written by his prede-
cessor We hasten to assure him ana
the readers of The Eagle that the
misrepresentation was not intentional.
We believe all the important facts
are now before our readers and, as
at present advised, shall not discuss
the matter further. If, however, either
Mr.. Hewitt or Mr.. De Croix have any
thing more to say our columns are
open to them, subject of course to the
usual conditions.

Governor Colquitt has announced
his intention of encouraging boys
corn clubs by giving rewards of merit
to boys who raise rs to 125 bushels
of corn per acre. 1t is certainly CON-
mendable of the governor to encour-
age agriculture, and if the legislature
will follow his example and raise
more corn and less sand Texas will
soon come into her own.
In marketing his products the
farmer finds the telephone most use

those sections where fruits and vege-
tables are grown, and the farmer is

Phoenix, Arizona, Oct. 26.-An order for the regimental band from Fort Huachuca to attend the Ari zona Fair at Phoenix during the week of November 9th to 11th, has been issued by General Leonard Wood who recently visited Arizona for the purpose of inspecting the various army posts.

Monday. November 9th, until the end of Fair week.
 Many persons desire to engage quarters in advance and this can be done by writing the Board or by telegraphing, as numbers did a year ago. Work is being rushed on the paving and lighting of the main streets of the Capitol city and everything is. being planned to make the stay of visitors one oi pleasure. Work on the Hotel Adams is being hurried forward for the opening on November 9th and the other hotels are making ready for large number of guests

WILLIAMS PUBLIC
 SCHOOL NOTES

Within the past week the children of the different rooms have broken into the general program of the day by surprising their teachers with fruit showers. All instances have been complete surprises and were rewarded by the teachers in the way of number and spelling con- tests, games, etc. These little social events seem to be merely expressions of appreciation shown to the teachers by the pupils and we are glad to record such feelings of harmony in the entire echool this year.
 The toboggan slide is still kept busy and new inventions in the way of slides are still appearing. The latest is slide with hard wood rollers. Tbis machine makes tha 80 feet in about three seconds.
 The school, now. has access to two daily papers and the larger children are taking much interest in the war news of China, Italy and Turkey.
 The school playground seems to be attracting the attention of the tourists here of late. Several have stopped at the fence to watch the boys slide and some have entered the grounds to ask questions and make closer examination of the invention.

Williams news., 1911-10-28

 Election day in Williams passed off very quietly, ard the good order that was maintained throughout the day was such that we feel very much elated. considering the fact that this was the first real big elec- ton or at least the biggest one that we have ever experienced in this territory.
 We have never before in our his- tory had the privilege of consider ing the names of the men who were to preside over the destinies of our state govern ment, in an executive and judicial capacity, and who were to participate in the making of our national laws at Washing. ton.
 Quite an interest was manifested by all the voters in both political parties, but we are pleased to note that there was nothing but friend ly rivalry among the candidates and voters. No disorder or dis turbance of any kind could be seen during the day or even after night. All of which speaks louder than can tongue or pen for the good name of our sturdy and progress i've citizenship.
 Owing to the restrictions placed on our registration law the vote was very light. but even that did uot seem to affect the interest man. ifested in the voters to push their friends forward; one instance of which we refer to with pride, and that is in the case of our friend and former townsman, Hon. George U. Young, who received nearly four votes to one for governor as against his opponent, Hon. Edw. W. Wells, of Prescott.
 MT. Young was for years resi- dent of Williams, and the over whelming majority that he re- ceived over his brilliant and popu- lar opponent at the hands of his fellow citizens who have known him in private life speaks very highly of his ability. integrity and manly qualities.
 Following is the vote in the county far as The News was able to get it:
