RHABDOM ANCY.

In spite of the sneers of most intelli
gent people, belief in the ability OF
some persons to locate underground
water by means of metal rods or wood
en- switches persists among the people
of the rural districts in many parts
of the country. A few educated people
believe there is something in it.
The Society of Psychic Research,
composed exclusively of scientists
who have attained distinction, has
recently published a book on the
subject, in which are related numerous
instances of success in finding water
by this means, mostly in England
where the water-wizards are called
"dowsers," and the conclusions drawn
from these instances are decidedly IA
vorable to the rhabdomancists.
This scribe has often been subjected
to ridicule because he has avowed his
belief that there is something in
"water-witchin.,. j." This belief is not
founded on hearsay but on actual ex-
perience.
There is a force which draws the
rod, but whether this force proceeds
from water in all cases is question
able; and as a means of finding water
we are not prepared to say that the
rod is reliable; all we assert is that
there is a force that draws the rod.
This we know because We have felt it
many times under circumstances that
admitted no deception. All the sneers
and jeers of those who have not in
vestigated weigh nothing against
knowledge gained by experience.

TEXAS, AUGUST II, II
THIS is A GRAND AND GLORIOUS
DAY.

Thursday, August 3, 1911, will &c
down in history as one of the bright
est days in the annals of time, because
on this day three of the worlds great
est nations proclaimed that hence
forth and forever, come what may
they will be friends.
If the effect of this treaty were lin.
tied to the three contracting nations
it would be an event of wonderful i'm
portance But it will not be so circum-
scribed The light of such shining
example can not be hid; 1t will illum-
mate the darkened minds of the peo-
pie of less enlightened nations to such
an extent that they will see clearly
that war is nothing but organized
Wholesale murder, and when this
great truth comes to be recognized
these people will demand of their gov
ernments the disarmament and aboli-
ton of their barbarous and burden
some military and naval establish
ments. And if any of these govern
ments, the kaiser's for instance, re-
fuses to heed this demand, the people
will destroy it and establish another
in its stead based on Christian prin-
ciples.
Never in the history of the world
was there an occasion for greater re-
joicing. Think of it! This treaty is
the daystar of universal peace, the
dawning of the era foretold by
prophets and poets, by seers and
sages, when men shall beat their
swords into plowshares, their spears
into pruning hooks and learn war no
more. There can never be another
Alexander, another Julius Caesar, an
other Napoleon. In the light of true
Christian civilization all the glamour
with which humbuggery masquerade
ing as romance, has invested them is
stripped off and their true character
as robbers and murderers is revealed
in all it's repulsive hideousness.
Possibly there are no outward dem
to celebrate this stipend
Gus event, no blare of trumpets, flaunt-
ing of banners nor boom of cannon.
"The kingdom of heaven cometh not
by observation" But all over this
great world a. the news is flashed by
the wires every Christian heart is
thrilled with joy. 1t is the day of tri-
umph of the Prince of Peace.

BY COMMERCIAL
SECRETARIES ASSOCIATION,

The Southern Truck Growers Asso
citation, which held its sixth annua
convention at Corpus Christi last week
reported that more than million an(
a quarter dollars worth of produce ha(
been handled through the association
during the shipping season of 1911, ant
that conditions over the state were
favorable for heavy truck and frui
crop of all kinds. Over three hundred
delegates were in attendance at the
convention, representing all parts Of
the state, and prominent agriculturists
made interesting and instructive ad
dresses.
Conventions and public gatherings
are good advertising for a city, pro-
vided they are well taken care Of
Fairs and exhibits are essential in ex-
ploitations, and every town should
have exhibits at the different state
fairs, If possible, and too many eXhib-
its are not possible. Country fairs,
trades days, and things of this kind
are also very desirable; and, in addi-
ton to their value from this stand
point, they are also valuable in slim
ulating town industries, harmonious
feeling, and are generally productive
of immediate and material results.
Uncle Sam does not come out openly
and advise everybody to move 10 Texas
Che would hardly dare to do thaD, but
his official report of the thirteenth
census 1910) shows such partially
for the Lone Star state that one not
familiar with the circumstances would
think this census was taken for the
purpose of advertising Texas. The
latest announcement of Texas prosper
ity Is made in the agricultural Stats
tics. The average value per acre of
farm land alone in 1910 was reported
as $1477, while in 1900 it was $40,
the amount of gain being $1007, or
PA per cent. There Is no better in
vestment than money put in a home
in Texas.
If your town will support other in
dustres than those she has, get them.
Offer inducements that are in harmony
with the good that will accrue to your
town, but beware of the bonus hunter.
Many towns have crippled themselves
by undertaking to give large bonuses
for different things, and perhaps, after
it was secured, the thing was value
less to the town. but some promoter
had filed his Golfers, and as a result
an elephant had been left on the town
great care should be eXer |
cised in selecting the enterprises
wanted.

JOHN ". Gates
CAREER ENDED
Bold and Successful Financier Sue
cumbed to Death After cour.
ageous Fight for Life.
[By Associated Press.I

|
Paris, Aug. 9.-The death this morn
ing of John w. Gates, the American
financier, has called forth many ex-
pressions of regret, not only from his
wide circle of acquaintance, but also
from numberless Parisians who knew
him only as bold and successful bust
ness man, and they have been deeply
moved by the courageous struggle he
made against his illness, the fatal out
come of which had been feared from
its inception.
The body of Mr. Gates will be placed
in the vault of the American Inter-
church here, where it
will remain until taken aboard ship,
probably on Wednesday of next week.
The funeral services will be held in
the American church on Saturday.

The editor of The Eagle went out
into the country yesterday and exam
ined several upland fields OF cotton,
but found no worms or weevils. In an
auto spin down to Pitts Bridge no sign
of the depredationc of insects in the
cotton fields of the bottom was seen.
The worst feature observed was the
willing of the leaves in some of the
fields in the sandy land, caused by the
drouth and intense heat. But the
drouth and heat seem to have put the
insects out of business, temporarily,
at least.
