adopted daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Chester
johnson. was so terribly sealded last Mon
day morning that for atims it was thought

Imprisonment For psbt.

About the middle Of the last cen
fury the power of imprisoning a debt
or for life was taken from the creditor,
and 1t fills one with amazement to
think that a system so ridiculous
should have continued as long as 1t
did. The three principal debtors pris-
ons in England were the Kings Bench,
the Marshalsea and the Borough
Compter. In the year 1859 there were
10000 prisoners for debt in Great Brit
ain and Ireland. The futility of the
system was quite as great as its bar
barity. More than half the prisoners
in some Of the prisons were kept there
solely because they could not pay the
attorneys costs. Many prisoners had
their wives and children with them.
There was no infrmary, no resident
surgeon and no bath. Imagine a place
In these days containing 1899 persons
and no bath and no inflrmary! We
have indeed progressed" -Dundee Ad.

men was being taken down to Austria

were never afterward heard Of. AS
for the Cinnamon, numbering 326, the
natives captured them and put them
on a small barren island, where they
had no food and no means of getting
away. They kept their prisoners sup.
piled with food from the mainland
and every now and then carried away
few Of them to eat until all but one
old man had been devoured. This one

UNSiGHTlY STREETS.

The Eagle has mentioned the I'M
tidiness of the streets many times and
has tried TO impress on the citizens
that we are living in the midst of lit
ter and dirt, but it seems that our ad-
monitions are wasted; ii is yet true
that our streets are disgrace to the
town. Paper, rubbish, boxes and al
most anything imaginable may be
seen scattered over almost all OF the
streets. The business streets are the
thoroughfares by which the town is
Judged and it does seem that terri
tory as small as our business district
could be kept clean. There is really
no excuse for the present condition
il is due to carelessness. The street
committee Of the city council has
asked the merchants TO keep thelI
trash in boxes and not sweep II out
on Main street, but no attention Is
maid to the request and no effort is
made to keep the streets clean. II
everyone would keep his own prem
ises clean it would be easy.
The Eagle repeats with emphasi;
that the present condition OF the
streets is simply disgraceful ant
ought not to be tolerated by people
making any pretensions to culture and
refinement Can nothing be done?
Bryan daily eagle and pilot. [volume] (Bryan, Tex.) 1909-1918, 1911-01-17

much disappointed because the high
way building was not EXTENDED to
their town. Mr.. Priddy said their turn
would come later, the policy OF the
being to take the roads
in the order of their importance to the
largest number Of people in Brazos
county-that is, to do the work where
il will benefit the largest number OF
citizens of the county.
We started on the return at $40
and, except a stop of few minutes
at lack, made no halt on the return
trip. Some miles this side of Tabor
we cut across into the Wheelock road
in order to see the effect of the drag
in operation there. 1t was smoothing
down the ridges and filling the ruts to
some extent, but, except in the sand,
the surface is too dry for the best re-
suits. Dragging should be done as
soon after a rain as practicable.
II was 430 when the auto halted
in front of The Eagle office, exactly
one hour and thirty-fve minutes after
leaving Edge, which included the stoI
at lack and the inspection OF the
Wheelock road. The distance from
Bryan to Edge, as measured by the
auto, is 1873 miles. From Bryan tc
Tabor il is 1912 miles.

Texas is bidding for first place as
the home of the watermelon, ana
Georgia will have to look well after
her laurels. According to government
reports, Texas shipped 2OOO carloads
of melons in 1910, which of course
does not include home consumption.
The melon belt was originally in Gen.
trail and East Texas, but gradually, as
irrigation and improved agricultural
methods have come in vogue in Texas,
the belt has extended westward until
practically the entire state is in the
melon growing district The melon
crop put $4,000 into the jeans of the
Texas farmers this year, and is now
considered one of our staple crops.
Opening our mines will eliminate
the cost of transportation on iron, coal
brick. marble, petroleum and other
minerals 1t costs $500 per car to ship
Iron from Pennsylvania to Texas. we
have a sufficient variety of minerals
in Texas to supply all of our needs
and the development of our mineral
resources will save millions ofdollars
in freight bills annually.
In a late bulletin issued by the
bureau of census a recapitulation Is
given of cities in the United States
which show the highest percentages
OF increase during the past decade
Three Texas cities are included in the
list. Fort Worth, Dallas and FL Paso
showing a high percentage OF in

t Commercial clubs have been formed
= in almost every community in Texas
, during the past few years for the pur

. club in a town is a sure sign tina
} that town is on the progressive list.

CANNED EDITORIALS BY
COMMERCIAL SECRETARIES.

The report of the commissioner OF
agriculture, which has just been made
to the governor, shows that during
1910 one hundred and siXty-seven
farmers institutes were organized
throughout the state, with member
ship of from one hundred to two hun
dred each. The institutes have long
been recognized as the best medium
for arousing interest among farmers
in scientific agriculture, for acquaint-
ing them with the latest methods OF
agriculture and enabling them to keep
in the vanguard of progress. In mod
ern agriculture only seeds and plants
which have attained perfection are
used. The farmers institutes help tc
bring about the highest and best re
suits in the farming world.
