ARABS KILLING RED
CROSS SURGEONS
IN REVENGE FOR THE SLAUGH-
TER BY THE ITALIANS HUN
DREDS OF DEAD BODIES THE
WOMEN ARE-FIGHTING.

Tripoli, Nov. 9.-Fighting has been
resumed about the city and Fort Ham
idieh. The Italian cruiser sheiled the
Arabs back of the city. Hundreds of
bodies are exposed in the desert.
Among the bodies are Italian Red
Cross surgeons who were slain by the
natives as reprisals for Italian cruel
ty. The Arab women, garbed as men
are fighting against the Italians. Gen.
CaneVa, commander in chief of the
Italian troops is using this fact as
an excuse for the slaughter of women
and children. According to Caneva
the women are so disguised that the
Italians did not suspect them of be-
ing women.

Death of Miss Hedrick Believed to be
Suicide.

Lenoir, Nov. 9.-The deepest mys-
Laura McNeely Hedrick of Salisbury
at Blowing Rock Saturday morning.
but from all information obtainable
the general belief is that it was a
case of suicide. The story as given
by people coming here from Blowing
Rock is about as follows:
Saturday morning about breakfast
time Miss Hedrick was found in her
room in a dying condition. She was
lying on the bed with a bullet hole
in her breast and on a chair nearby
was a pistol with the handle of the
weapon turned toward the door OF
the room. Physician was sum
moned Immediately but death ensued
before he arrived.
1t is said that no one has been
found that heard the pistol fire and
as the physician and those in the
room when he arrived thought il
was case of suicide and no investi
cation was necessary, the coroner did
not hold an inquest. The body was
prepared for shipment and brought
to Lenoir Sunday morning and later
taken to Salisbury for interment
Miss Bessie Hedrick, sister of the
dead woman, accompanied the re
mains.
A message was received here Sat
urday by local liveryman, Mr.. T
l.. Holder, for a conveyance to bring
corpse to Lenoir from Blowing Rock
Mr.. Holder responded and was &C
companied down the mountain Sun
day morning by Miss Bessie Ded
rick. She did not discuss the tragic
death of her sister and was not in
clined to talk about the sad affair.
The physicians certificate fo
transportation of the body stated
that death was from wound, bu
did not make any statement as to the
nature of the. wound nor how it wa:
inflicted.

their man, however, and believe tney

He Sano Farewell.

Richmond, Va, Nov AT O'Clock
yesterday morning the corridors of
the city Jail reverberated to the
sounds of delightful tenor voice.
Deputy Jailer Johnston was the au-
dience, and Henry Clay Beattie, Jr.,
was the man who did the singing.
The young man had been informed
in the afternoon by Harry Al. Smith,
his counsel, that the chances were
that he would be removed today, and
after he had slept for sometime, he
woke UP and began to hum familiar
airs
Deputy Johnston wandered around
to the cell, and Beattie told him that
he would sing something for him.
Mr.. Johnston said all right. Beattie
stood up in the cell and began:
will you miss me as I miss you. y
1t was a sentimental song, and the
young man sang it well. After the
place had become still he broke out
with
God be with you till we meet
again.,
That was the last song in the jail
that came from his lips. He talked a
| few moments and then lay down, ,and
in a short while the gentle breathing
Of the accused man indicated that he
was sleeping the sleep of one at peace
with the world
| Late yesterday afternoon, about
O'Clock the aged father of Henry
Clay Beattie called at the city jai

manning for half an hour 1t was {
call to sal farewell to the son ant
brother, and as they. left the tear:
were coursing down their faces. They

NO MORE CATARRH.
e. J. Jenkins Has Guaranteed Cure
That Has Stood the Test of Time.

Catarrh cures come and catarrh
cures go, but HYOMEI continues to
cure catarrh and abolish its disgust
ing symptoms wherever civilization
exists.
Every year the already enormous
sales of this really scientific cure for
catarrh grow greater, and the present
year will show all records broken.
If you buy a HYOMEI outfit for $1.00
and hide it in dark cupboard it won't
cure your catarrh.
If you breathe it daily as directed it
will cure your catarrh or 1t won't cost
you a cent. Ask e. j. Jenkins.
II you have hard rubber Hyomei
inhaler somewhere around the house,
get it out and start at once to forever
rid yourself of catarrh.
e. J. Jenkins will sell you a bottle
of HYOMEI (liquid) for only soc;
start to breathe it and notice how
quickly it clears out the air passages
and makes the entire head feel fine.
HYOMEI used regularly will cure
catarrh, coughs, colds, bronchitis or
sore throat. A complete outfit, includ-
ing a hard rubber pocket inhaler, costs
s1.0O. No stomach dosing. Just breathe
1t. 1t kills the germs, soothes and
heals the inflamed membrane.

WORKING THEIR WAY
THROUGH COLLEGE.

Eighty students of A. & M. college
remained at the college throughout the
Christmas holidays to earn money TO
keep them at the college for the bal
ance of the session.
Many students who attend the col
lege can not pay down all the money
necessary for their maintenance at the
beginning of a session. While the tut
ton at the college costs nothing, it
being free school and a part of the
great public school system of the
state, yet many boys who want the
educational facilities afforded by the
institution do not have the small
amounts necessary. The result is that
they must work their way during the
college year There is student labor
fund" provided by the biennial appro-
priations of the legislature to pay just
such boys. This fund can not be d.
verified to other purposes, but must be
used for students who perform actual
labor.
During the Christmas holidays just
closed great deal of work has been
done on the campus roads and on the
parade ground. This work is under the
direction of Prof. Robert J. Potts, who
has charge of the division of highway
engineering, and instead of enjoying
his vacation time he put it in superin-
tending the work of rebuilding roads
at the college. With student labor and
with about fifteen cars of gravel, which
were donated by the Houston & Texas
Central and the International G. Great
Northern railroads, he has done a lot
of valuable work on the campus.
The boys who have worked through
this Christmas holiday time will have
money in later years to enjoy all the
Christmas and Santa Claus they may
desire. Some of the best boys in the
college have been doing this work, and
they represent every class-freshman
sophomore, junior and senior.

THE CITY SCHOOLS.

III the English course of the Bryan
public schools such ideas are being
worked out as are not found in any
other city school nearer than St.
Louis. In the department of English,
in the higher grades, Bryan is easily
in class by itself in so far as city
schools in this section are concerned.
The plan Of literary criticism applied
to standard English classics calls for
the application of knowledge of a
high order. Besides the regular texts,
the local course calls for the critical
study of certain texts in class and the
reading of others at home. The ex-
aminations then call for a practical
application of the principles of literary
criticism as given in class instruction
and in chapel talks. This is altogether
different from the old way of studying
The books and reciting from memory
what the book says.
Those who can not do this kind of
high grade work could do well on the
one-time common memory tests of
what the books tell. But the pupils
are measuring up well. These three
years of patient work in making the

FOUNDRY INSTALLED AT A. q NJ.

Y 1t is not expected that the shops Of
the mechanical engineering depart
ment of A. & M. college should become
commercial enterprises, yet Prof. Z.
J. Fermier is anxious to have the stu
dents understand something of how all
the more important shop processes
are carried on. The lack of suitable
foundry has been to him very serious
disappointment. but this has at last
been overcome by the installation Of
a small brass furnace which has been
made up of materials that had been
discarded from other uses.s,fW. e.
Clark, instructor in the woodshop, has
attended to the installation. For a
crate he used bars discarded from the
boiler room; for draft he used an old
blower that had been outgrown and
discarded by the forge shop years ago.
To drive the blower he set up small
gasoline engine, which was presented
to Prof. Fermier by the Longview
Iron Works, and which possesses the
very commendable property of having
been made in Texas.
Prof. Fermier is particularly glad to
have the Texas-made motive power
used in this installation, as he believes
that Texas is in need Of an awakening
in manufacturing lines. With the nat
ural resources of the state there Is no
reason Except the industrial back
wardness) why there should be need
to go outside of the state for the great
majority of all machinery used. The
good running and satisfactory per-
Torrance of the little gasoline engine
referred to shows what the state can
do, If it will.

A Famous Vine.

In the Cumberland Lodge portion Of
the royal gardens at Windsor there is
vine, known all over England as the
Cumberland Lodge vine. which is a
shoot of a still older vine which grows
at Hampton Court, but the shoot has
far outdistanced its parent in dimen-
sions and productiveness In England
grapes are generally grown under
glass, and the Cumberland Lodge vine
has a great glass structure, 12O feet
long by 20 wide. all to itself. Growing
with astonishing luxuriance. the vine
spreads itself over a roof area of 2,4O0
square feet and bears annually crop
of approximately thousand huge
punches of the finest favored grapes.
These grapes are frequently found on
the royal table. and the subject who Is

GOING TO MEXICO
r"sy Thousand Acres Purchased and
Option Secured on 100000 Acres
for Mormon Colonies.
Especial to The Bryan Eagle I


Eagle Pass, Texas, Jan. 6.-The
Mormons of Utah and Idaho have just
concluded another purchase of $4,000
acres OF land in northern Mexico, ac.
cording to report of Consul Luther T.
Ellsworth, located at C. P. Diaz, Mex
leo. Referring to this purchase, a
prominent Mormon leader says that
many of his people will settle in Mex
leo, and that another colony has been
organized to settle on 75,00O-acre
tract. He also gives it out that an
option has been taken on 100000 acres
more in the same district, and pre-
diets that within eighteen months
5000 Mormon families will have set
tied In Mexico.
All the land SO far purchased will
be farmed by irrigation. Preparations
are under way to build churches and
schools in line with those who adhere
to the Mormon faith.

Bryan schools over are beginning to
bear fruit. AS an evidence, look a mo-
ment at this: The ninth, tenth and
eleventh grades contain thirty-fonr
pupils in English, taught by Prof. A.
w. Kinnard. OF these thirty-four pu.
pills, all but two made passing grades
in English in the recent examination.
That was wonderful record of
achievement on such high require
ments. Had the pupils been memoirs
ing what the books said, and telling
it again, this fine record would not
have been so remarkable.
The day for shoddy work has
passed, and 1t is matter of congrat-
ulation to see the pupils measuring up
to the requirements of real educa-
ton.
The Bryan schools stand for honest
work and independent thinking, and
grades which stand as the measure of
power, not the measure of memory.
Those whose powers of original and
Independent thinking were sufficient
to entitle them to grades Of 80 or over
on English were as follows: Ruby
Davis, Mary Shelburne, Guy Adriance,
Robbie Nicol, Evelyn Sanders, Deci
Wellington, Ida Wipprecht, Maude
