As/was announced in yesterdays
Eagle, a mass meeting of prohibition
lists of Brazos county assembled at the

County in Mass Affecting Assem-
bled:
Gentlemen-We, your committee on
resolutions, beg to submit the follow
ing:
Whereas, what purports to be the
official count of the votes cast at the
recent prohibition election shows that
the amendment was defeated by only
small majority; and,
w whereas, we ltSdiu INC h5Hl hi"uN
in said election against the saloon as
remarkable victory, in that the re-
suits show decided majority of the
white democratic votes of the state of
Texas to be in favor of statewide pro-
hibition; and.
Whereas, Brazos county has shown
by her greatly increased vote for pro
hibition that her citizenship has be-
come keenly alive to the moral and
political dangers of the saloon; there
fore be it resolved:
/. That this mass meeting of prohi-
bitionists most heartily congratulates
all leaders, voters and supporters who
participated in this great battle for
civic righteousness.
2. We desire to express our graft
tude to our ministers for the valuable
| services they so earnestly rendered in
this fight.
3. We commend the good women of
Texas for the invaluable aid rendered
by them in this fight for the home and
against the saloon.
4. We recommend that the prohibit
ton organization of Brazos county be
maintained for the purpose of contin-
uing this fight until the saloon shall
have been banished from thes tate.
3. We recommend that Brazos coun.

FOREIGNERS BUY LANDS.

Jackson, Miss, July 2S.-The DO
nanza farms" of the West will soon
have counterparts in the South, owing
to the purchase of immense tracts of
land by European syndicates. Recent
ly company of English spinners Sc
cured $4,000 acres of cotton lands in
the heart of the Mississippi delta, on
which they expect to raise enough OF
the fleecy staple to supply their mills.
Dutch syndicate of bankers and cap
italists has bought 5000 acres in Boil
liver county, and is understood to be
negotiating for other large tracts. This
company will grow cotton on an ex-
tensive scale, and will also go into the
livestock business. The high price Of
cotton offers big returns from these
trust" farms, and If the schemes now
under way prove successful, it Is prob
able that there will be rush of for
eign capital to the South to be used
in agricultural development.

THE FARMERS RESOLUTIONS
HOT DISCUSSION OF THE PAR
GELS POST.
The Threatened Removal Of the Feed
Control and the Railroads-Mr.
Yoakum's National Market
Bureau Scheme
Endorsed.

The closing hours OF the Farmers
Congress are always given over to
thorough discussion of resolutions en-
dorsing or deprecating legislative
or less closely Yesterday was no ex-
ception to the rule. The first resolu-
ton up encountered fiery opposition
and passed by narrow margin, and
from then until the final adjournment
there were only occasional lulls in the
storm of discussion which sometimes
became unmanageable.
This first battle waged about the
parcels post and came as a. surprise,
the rural letter carriers having en-
dorsed Postmaster General Hitchcock's
proposition unanimously the day be.
fore. Secretary Tom Larkin, of Beau
mont, opened the fight, opposing a
parcels post which would charge the
same rates from New York to College
as from Bryan to College on the
ground that this would enable the huge
mail order ohuses to send the country
merchant to the wall. He believed
that without the country merchant the
farmer would be handicapped in mar
keting his small crop, and emphasized
the interdependence of farmer and vii
lage store. The whole agitation, he
thought, had been sprung by the rail
roads in the interest of increased rev.
enue from the carriage of mail; and
this meant that the express companies
themselves, for all their pretended OPP
position to the parcels post, would be
satisfied with it, since they are con-
trolled by the same interests as the
railroads.
This started an experience meeting
on the floor. Man after man reported
cases in which he had been unable to
secure needed parts of his machines,
or other common merchandise, from
his village store and had had to pay
exorbitant express rates from New
York and undergo serious delay in or
der to supply his wants. Even If he
could make his purchase in his own
town, he had to pay nearly twice the
price charged by city houses. The gen.
eral opinion seemed to be that the
merchant must lookout for himself

linasmuch as the farmer was unable to
indulge in philanthropy to support
him.
President Kirkpatrick left the, chair
to express himself in favor of the res.
olution, which was finally adopted by
a close vote. The congress thereby
urges farmers everywhere to memo
rialize their representatives in Wash
ington to secure a parcels post. AL
though many thought that the postal
rates should discriminate between
short and long carriage, no action was
taken on this matter.
A resolution thanking the legislature
for retaining the feed control at A. &
VI. college in such way as to make
| it clear that the farmers would oppose
any future agitation to transfer it ia
Austin, aroused more official protest
from President Kirkpatrick, who asked
the head of the feed control, Mr.. ]. w.
Carson, whether in his estimation it
was appropriate for the congress to
concern itself with the quarrels of
A. & NJ. college. Mr. Carson thought
it was, considering that the funds de-
rived from the feed control would re-
move four hundred farmer boys from
tents next year, and these funds would
be lost if the department were re-
moved to Austin. The resolution was
tabled and later resurrected upon a
motion by Prof. Kyle of the college.
H. A. Halbert, of Coleman, asked, rs
the feed control now in danger?" Prof.
Kyle replied that it emphatically was.
Some changes were made in the word
ing of the resolution, which this time
passed the congress by wide margin.
A resolution to thank the railroads
for courtesies received during the con-
gress met with fervent objection from
the floor by delegates who, thanks to
railway ueldyS Ill -NOIlH ltAds, udu
reached the congress on the last day,
just in time to oppose this resolution.
Secretary Larkin thought that the rail
roads in general should not be casti-
gated for exceptional cases. He was
glad that the railroads, nor anyone
else, had any strings on the farmer, y
as the defeat of his own contention in
the matter of the parcels post had
demonstrated He admitted later that
the railroads had been slow to grant
the one-cent rate for the congress and
had failed to advertise the meeting as
they had promised. 1t was up to the
farmer, he said, to prove to the rail
roads that their congress was more
important than "nigger ball games or
Sunday excursions" since it's efforts
would mean increased haul of cotton
and grain and more prosperity along
the right of way. But he thought that

railroads is being sought with a view
to handling their freight from their

the farmer would gain nothing by fail
ing in courtesy itself at this time. The
resolution passed.
More fighting was occasioned by a
resolution introduced by Ed R. kone,
the state agriculturist, endorsing Mr..
B. f. Yoalum's proposal for national
bureau to adjust the differences be-
tween the producer and the consumer
in the matter of the farmers ultimate
price. Judge Kone finally admitted
that his resolution had been prepared
by Mr.. Yoakum, whose speech before
the congress (printed elsewhere in
this paper had demonstrated its ne
cessity.
President Kirkpatrick ruled the res
olution out of order on the ground that
II had not received the Recommended
ton of the resolutions committee, was
not minority report, and had not
Eeen properly introduced from the
floor. The committee explained that it
had failed to recommend because the
resolution was almost identical with
one already adopted. Judge Kone
arose and appealed to the house, in
PRODUCING the resolution ION my own
initiative, unbacked by anybody" 1t
now developed that the action pre-
viously taken had urged the United
States department of agriculture,
which has no authority in such mat
tiers, to institute the proposed bureau
of marketing. After very pretty par
liamentary tangle-there had at no
time been any objection to the propo-
sition involved-Judge Kones resolu-
ton, which addressed congress, was
substituted for the one addressing the
department of agriculture and passed
unanimously. A telegram asking what
action had been taken upon his pro-
posal was received from Mr. Yoakum
and read by the secretary.
The other resolutions passed unchal-
lenged. In them the congress en-
dorsed the College of Industrial Arts
at Denton in work and policy, urging
more legislative support for it. 1t ex-
pre- ssed itself favorably on the So
called social center movement" as
outlined by Mr.. Blankenship in a
speech reported in yesterdays Eagle.
1t recommended further study of dry
farming and encouraged its extension
in this state. And finally it supported
Capt. B. NJ Davis. of the Texas Au-
dubon Society, who addressed the con-
gress on this subject Tuesday night
and was reported in Wednesdays
Eagle, in his proposition to tax all resi-
dent bird hunters 81 each and to re-
move the robin, the plover and the
curlew from the list of game birds and
prevent their extinction.
The much discussed and often post
poned consideration of the failure of
farmers institute work came up be-
fore adjournment. but proved to be no
more than conference on ways and
means to keep local institutes alive
1t was o'clock before the congress
finally adjourned.

F. G. Chandler Says West Is Buy

Nothing more optimistic from an auto
mobile trade standpoint has been heard in
New York than the reports from T. G.

Motor Company, who is in attendance at
the Chicago Automobile Show. M. Chan
dler says: Bigger actual business is being

hibltion OF the kind held in the West
The interest In motor cars all through
the West Is literally astounding, while the
real buying power is nothing short Of won

and business depression, which is no
stranger around New York. IS refreshingly
absent in Chicago-the Westerners hardly
know what IL Is
Manufacturers and dealers all report a
great demand for cars, and il is not az all
improbable that there may even be a
shortage OF cars in the spring months.
Manufacturers we're not looking for such
a demand, and have gone ahead with their
1911 plans on a most conservative basis.
The real. healthy demand for cars az the
Chicago show and the wonderful tone OF
business in general throughout the West
NAV bring about Just the condition ar
which the pessimists have been scofiing-a
shortage OF cars and a surplus OF demand.

The annual almanaCs and annual reviews

to disagree as TO the automobile champion

to the fact that the big road and track

Savannah had no car restrictions. beyond
the requirement that the car must have a

under the same conditions. but cars were
divided into five classes. The Vanderbilt
