regarded as especially significant in

state in the democratic column. The

resting place as clean and as free as
| possible from unsightly objects which
suggest unpleasant thoughts. 1t takes
labor to do this, and labor can not be
had without money to pay for it. The
ladies of the Cemetery Association
give their time and efforts free OF
charge, finding abundant compensa-
tion in the consciousness of duty well
done. But they need help, and help
they must have. Is there a man in
Bryan so destitute of human sympathy
that he will not perform this small
service in so good cause?
1t is essential that water supply
be provided for the cemetery. This
can be done either by boring wells
and erecting windmils and tanks or
by extending the city water system to
the cemetery. The latter is preferable
if the cost would not be too great. 1t
would be the proper thing for the
Cemetery Association to ask the city
council to have survey made and
take such action as the case calls for.
Since the above was put in type the
attention of the editor has been called
to the fact that the Y NJ. c. A. build
ing at A. & NJ. college has been en-
tered in the Houston Post contest and
that the people of Bryan are expected
to support its claims. This is an un-
fortunate conflict of interests. How
ever, there is more than one prize in
the Post contest and possibly an ar
rangement can be made that will be
satisfactory to both parties.

BY JAMES HAYS orARLEs.

This is the fourth day of the Red
River to gulf good roads tour, and the
party of pathfinders has now reached
Bryan. This morning the start was
made from Franklin at an early hour
and the trip was made to Wheelock.
There Secretary L. NJ Hewitt, of the
Bryan Commercial Club, and a large
party of Bryan people met the party
for welcoming occasion. They were
escorted into Bryan. and as this coun-
ty is the home of the Agricultural and
Mechanical College of Texas and the
Red River to gulf trip was inspired by
Robert ]. Potts, of the college, the
Bryan people have put the big pot in
the little one. There was big meet
ing here and tonight the visitors will
be entertained at a smoker.
The good roads tour is meeting with
success everywhere. There are com
munities where bond issues for good
roads have been voted down, hut the
tourists find in all of these communi-
ties men who say they will not let
the project go down and they will keep
hammering at it from day 10 day.
There is much enthusiasm. the tour
lists are being royalty entertained ev-
erywhere, and they are receiving
every encouragement.
A delegation from Thornton came
to Marlin yesterday to insist on a
meeting there on the northbound tour
next week, and it was granted to them.
The secretary OF the Mart Fair AssO-
citation has written asking the party
to stop there July 20, and this request
has been granted. The rivalry between
Hearne and Calvert, on one side of
Robertson county, and Franklin, the
county seat, on the other side, has de-
veloped interest in the good roads
movement and they insist on the road
from both ways Hearne and Calvert
say they must have it, and Franklin
says she is going to build it.
This movement is big one 1t is
attracting attention all along the line.

INCIDENTS OF THE JOURNEY.

That there is good roads enthusiasm
in the state of Texas is shown by the
activity that has been exhibited by the
people along the route of the proposed
Red River to gulf road, and the Path
finders are getting the most cordial
reception that any touring party has
ever received.
The pathfinder car has now reached
Brazos county on the southbound trip.
Starting from the Red River Monday
morning. the tourists have gone
through Grayson, Collin. Dallas, Ellis,
Hill. McLennan, Falls and Robertson
counties. and they have reached the
city of Bryan. In every county there
is anxiety to show their desires to
help in the good roads fight, and that
which is being done in the matter OF
arousing the people to the necessity
of action is going to bear fruit and II
will be at no distant day
1--WE are going to build our roads, y
sav the people in one county.
I'VE are building our roads, say
the people in another.
"They beat us on the bond issue and
we will try it again." say those in
another, "and If we can not get bonds
we will get the road anyhow by some
other means"
A great deal of competition has de-
veloped between towns along the route
since this tour started. For instance.
when the pathflnders announced that
they would go from Bremond to Frank
lin. in Robertso ncounty there was
howl of protest from Calvert and
Hearne, and Calvert and Hearne so
strongly asserted their supremacy,
their logical location, that the path
finders made a change in the tour and
they were taken in. Then came
Thornton requesting hearing. When
