Bogota is a small town. as far as
population is concerned, but the pro
gressive methods employed by her cit
izenship in building up the town
places it in the list of big cities OF the
future. The business men of this little
city recently got together and without
bond issue of any kind subscribed the
money to build and grade the streets
of the entire town, in preparation for
the fall and winter country trade. The
earnest cooperation of the business
men and citizens of community is
the best method of insuring its growth,
and augurs well for the future of the
town or city which can boast of this
cooperation.
The basic principle of town building
is cooperation. But, first, there must
be an efficient and trusted head or
leader. just a there is in any other
business enterprise. Second, there
must be harmony of the different
forces, just as there must be harmony
with heads of any large business con-
Germ. A lack of these attributes means
dead town. No town stands still.
She is going forward or backward.
More than $4,000 has already been
realized from the peach crop of Mount

Gently been shipped to Northern and

tity shipped by express in small ship
ments. The peach and melon crops OF
this place have not suffered materially
from the drouth and has exceeded all
expectations so far. The larger cities
of the North and East are heavy
buyers of Texas fruit and our products
always find a ready market at home
and abroad.
Cooperation is the bedrock of COM
mercial club work, and successful
club must have different kinds of CO.
operation, such as financial, moral, in
tellectual and physical. No enterprise
can be successful without being
financed the more successful it will be.

Headquarters were also opened today
by the Woman's Relief Corps, the
Sons of Veterans, the Army and Navy
Union, the Daughters of Veterans and
the Ladies of the Grand Army, all Of
which organizations will hold national
conventions here during the week.
Forty.four state departments of the

Today was devoted to welcoming
the visitors and assigning them to
hotels and boarding houses. Every
thing possible has been done by the
local committee of influential citizens
toward making the veterans as COM
Portable as possible. The first meeting
OF the committee for organization will
be held tomorrow. The first of the
business sessions is scheduled for
Thursday morning in convention hall.
In the meantime there will be scores
of reunions of regiments and other
organizations, camp fires and the in
formal discussion of war times, which
is one of the chief joys of the old
soldiers.

GRAND ARMY IN ROCHESTER

Rochester, n. Y, Aug. 21.-With
flags flying all over the city and the
strains of martial music filling the air
with melody, Rochester today vel
coined the Union veterans of the coun-
try to the forty-fifth national encamp-
ment of the Grand Army of the Re-
public. Grizzled and gray and totter-
ing under the weight of years, but
with undiminished patriotism, the war
riors of passing generation poured
into the city today by thousands and
were given a reception such as has
seldom before been accorded to the
Grand Army. All Rochester Joined in
the preparations for fittingly enter
tanning the veterans. The electrical
display will be of unreprecedented
brilliance, with $4,000 lights blazing
forth each night of encampment week.
Fourteen huge canopies have been
erected at the principal street inter
sections. each containing more tnan
thousand bulbs. There are also two
miles of festoon lights with about
10000 bulbs. Thousands of globes in
patriotic emblems of different designs
have also been installed in stores and
business houses.
About 100000 will be expended in
the entertainment of the veterans and
other visitors, who are expected to
number 100000 during the week. The
veterans of the COS are now said to
be passing away at the rate of about
10000 a year, and the present encamp-
ment will be the last for many thou
sands.

.GE|DEl BOY ON TRIAL

New York. Aug. 2l-Paul Geidel,
the seventeen-year-old bellboy who is
charged with the murder of William
Henry Jackson, a millionaire, today
goes on trial for his life. BY reason
of the youth of the accused, the prom
inence of the victim and the mysteri-
Gus features of the crime. the case
has aroused public interest all over
the land and the trial promises to be
replete with sensations. That the bell
boy is not guilty, and that, even If he
were, is insane, seems to be the line
of argument of the defense Several
aliensts have examined Geidel and
some of them appear TO believe that
he is mentally affected.
The boy will not go to the electric
chair if money can save him. A Hart
ford millionaire is said to have con-
tributed $4,000 for the defense and
stands ready to supply more money,
il necessary. Geidel until recently
lived in the Connecticut capital, where
his aged mother resides and where he
has influential friends who are conf
dent of his innocence. Prominent at
torneys have been engaged for the
youth, and have been engaged for
weeks in preparing the defense, as
sisted by several private detectives.
Assistant District Attorney Mott is in
charge of the prosecution and VIII
fight any attempt to delay the trial.
District Attorney Whitman lives al
the Hotel Iroquois, where Jackson was
killed and where Geidel WIS for a
time employed as a bellboy. Mr.. Whit
man has thus a personal interest in
the case Speaking of the Jackson
murder, he said:
Courts of this country act too slow
ly in criminal cases, and | am deter
mined so far as | am able, to bring
about justice as speedily as they do
in English courts. Every moment we
delay takes away Just so much re-
spect for our laws among the crimi-
nails Gedel know personally and he
is a thoroughly bad boy. He was
drunk several times, and he cursed
volubly There was theft complaint
against him on the part of one of the
guests, Shortly before the murder he
was discharged. His letters, too, show
what sort of boy he really is. While
he was writing those loving messages
to his mother, promising constantly to
send money, he was spending it on
himself in the poolrooms."
A pathetic figure is the aged mother
of the boy, who is firm in her belief
in his entire innocence. She declares
that he has deeply religious nature
and that his training has been along
Christian lines. Before coming to New
York from Hartford six months ago
he was a choir boy in the fashionable
Trinity church in the Connecticut city.

The Kentucky democratic state con-
vention gave Henry Watterson an ova-
ton and Kissed and hooted former
Governor Beckham, but they voted
down Watterson's platform and en-
dorsed Beckham's by an overwhelming
majority. This shows that they love
Watterson personally, but disapprove
of his principles, while they dislike
Beckham but endorse what he stands
for. There are many democrats in
Texas who like Senator Bailey person
ally but can not stand for his policies.

The Legislature deserves thanks and

Mechanical College In connection

not inappropriate to mention the re-

brought the school to the highest mark
of merit in this respect. All Texans
are proud of the A. & NJ. and the good
wishes of all will no doubt follow Capt.

Fort Caswell, n. c., where, according
to the regular rule of promotion, he
will soon be advanced to major in the
