To. the Democrats of Brazos county:

of my candidacy for the office OF
State senator, subject to the action
of the Democratic primary, to be
held on the 9th day of July in and
for this the Twelfth Senatorial Dis

Owing to the short time between
now and the primary, and the large
number of voters in this district, it
will be impossible for me to see every
voter in person though ! would like
very much to do SO, and will see as
many as possible in the limited time,
and in lieu of personal canvass
address you in this manner, earnest
ly soliciting your support.

LARGE CROWD AT WALKERS.
The Special Sale Placed on by
Walkers and 10c Store Proves
A Great Success.

Early yesterday morning a large
crowd bgan to gathr around Walk
er's ) and 10c store, attracted by the
bargains he had offered in
his circular and advertisement in the
Eagle of Saturday, and judging by
the numerous packages that were
constantly being carried away, and
the many smiles on the faces of the
purchasers, they found everything just
as advertised. In fact the reporter
wendell his way through the crowd
and viewed many of the purchases
that were made and in checking over
the stock he found everything just as
advertised In fact it may be a bar
gain to get even luxury at a re-
duced price. but a genuine bargain is
where you can get necessity at a
greatly reduced price, and that is the
condition at Walkers. Absolute
household necessities, things that you
will be forced to purchase sooner or
later, are being sold at half price. Mr.
Walker reports that yesterday was
the, largest sale he had ever had dur
ing any one day in July and as lone
as the bargains last he is bound tc
have big sales, for to see them will
convince you.

Ancient History of Wheat.

The Industrialist: Wheat was
cultivated in Egypt at least $3.50
years ago. At least some grains of
the bread plant were found in
brick taken from the pyramid of
Dasher, built in 1859 B c. Many
of the writings on the oldest mon
uments in that country also tell of
the growing of wheat. The Egypti-
ans called it "br." 1t was smaller
grained than modern wheat. There
are many accounts Of wheat seeds
taken from mummies found in the
old tombs. These seeds have been
planted, but they never have GERM
mated.
The Chinese also cultivated wheat
many years ago. In 200 B. C. they
in stituted an annual ceremony in
which the emperor and the princess
took part in the sowing of five kinds
of seed. Wheat was one of the
grains that was sown. They called
it mai" 1t, also. was very small.
Lake-dwellers in ancient Switzer-
land grew wheat in limited quaint
ties. The name of their wheat was
"Triticum vulgare compactum mu-
ticum," which1was about as large as
the ancients could manage.
1t is an unsettled question as to
where wheat first originated. Prob
ably it was in the Euphrates valley
or in some of the nearby regions
From there it has spread over the
world, and it is the greatest bread
plant today.

Il hate to hear a man knocking
his own town, when the depOts are
so convenient and we have so many
trains a day for leaving if he doesn't
like it," said a loyal citizen recently
in handing down some of his home
made philosophy from the bench.
Most towns suffer from want of
confidence and public spirit more
than from any other cause. When
a man comes here in search of a
home or business location, he should
find the town brimful of hope and
enthusiasm for the future, and he
will soon become imbueG with the
same spirit. drive down his stake s
and become one of us. On the other
hand, if he comes in and hears a lot
of doleful wailings and apprehen-
sions as to the future. he is apt to
beat it in hurry and never return,
Everyone. then, should try and
make this a live and enterprising
town. and remember that in saying
a good word for the town they are
saying two for themselves and their
neighbors."- Fayette Democrat
Leader.

A Protected Industry.

Hannibal Journal: Sixty-five per
cent of the workers in the United
States Steel corporations plant at
Pittsburs earn less than the actual
cost of subsistence, according to
calculations made before the STAN
ley steel trust investigating COM
mittee by Louis D. Brandeis, the
peoples lawyer"
The average wage of 65 per
cent of the employees of the workers
in the steel plants of Pittsburg," he
said, is II 1-2 cents an hour. The
Associated Charities of that city, by
careful investigation has figured it
out that the cost of bare eXistance
Of family of husband aud wife
and three children in Pittsburg is
S7GO a year By working twelve
hours a day, 1855 days a year this
IS per cent of the workers. at the
end of their years labor. will have
earned just $3.50 less than this
sum.
These horrible conditions are the
result of the use of the great power
and wealth of this trust to prevent
its employees from joining organiza-
tons. The condition of labor in
this industry is nothing less than
slavery In ten years this trust
while working men, under these
conditions, has taken from the
American people $650,OOO in excess
of a liberal profit on its actual in,
vestment, and this enormous profit
has been used to grind down its
workers to their present miserable
condition"

An Epitaph.

Walt Mason: Beneath this stone
there lies at rest men who always
did his best. The gods ordained
that he should move along a lowly,
humble groove, For him there was
no wealth or fame, be bore no proud
ancestral name, no palace doors for
him swung wide, but in his hut he
lived and died. His years we're
many and his toll brought riches
from the stubborn soil, but all that
wealth to them was brought who
owned the land wherein he wrought
He fashioned lumber and the boards
made shelter for the languid lords.
He fed the cows and herded swine
that other men might nObly dine.
From break Oh dawn till close Of
ID ay he toi!ed alon& his weary way,
and took his earnings in his hand
10 ldtten tnoSe VINO owned the land.
His feet were scanned with bramble
scars, that others might have motor
cars. This strip OF ground is his re-
ward; twas given by his overload,
its six feet long and two feet wide
and here they brought him when he
died To labor hard for fifty years,
Iundure the burdens and the tears,
to. have no grateful hours of rest, to
toll, and bend, and do your best, to
grind, and moil and delve and save,
and at last to get a grave! Poor
souls that in the darkness grope
and weave and spin and have no
hope!

Cigarettes.

Don't acquire the cigarette habit.
The following is only one of the
hundreds of orders which are going
into effect on account of the deadly
cigarette.
An order has gone forth from
the New York office of William
Randolph Hearst that no cigarettes
shall be smoked 10 any of the Hearst
local rooms. Those who pretend to
know say that the same rule will
be speedily adopted in many bust
ness houses where the free and easy
system allows the clerks to take an
occasional puff This war on the
cigarette is directly due to the Equit-
able fire in New York. That expel-
sive blaze was traced to a cigarette
carelessly fiicked into pile of rub
bish. The actuaries got busy and
calculated the number of fires due
to cigarettes. The immediate re-
suit was the ban on cigarettes in
countless New York offices. Hearst
has promulgated the rule in Lon.
don, New York. Boston, Chicago
San Francisco, Los Angeles and At
lanta. where he owns papers.

The Sacred Thought Of Home.

- Nv SoSiSb AhOuBhb Va hAVDAS'
What is home? Thut sweet COM
partnership
OF life the better part;
The happy smile that comes on the
lip.
UpSpringing in the heart.
1t is the eager clasp of kindly hands
The lona-remembered one,
The ready sympathy which under
stands
All feeling by its own.
The rosy cheek of the little children
pressed
To ours in loving glee;
The presence of our dearest and our
best.
No matter where we be.
And, failing this, a prince may
homeless live,
Though palace walls are nigh;
And, having it, a desert shore may
give
The joy wealth cannot buy.
Far reaching as the earths remot-
est span.
Widespread as oceans foam,
One thought is sacred in the breast
of man,
1t is the thought of home.
