MANY PROSPECTORS ARE HERE
LARGEST NUMBER OF HOMESEEK
ERS IN SOME TINE WERE HERE.
GO TO SEE OTHER VALLEY
POINTS

With the arrival Saturday afternoon
early of the special train of Star Land
Co, homeseekers, there began the larg-
est thrush of trains carrying prospec-
tive Valley land purchasers seen here in
some time. In all there were three spe-
cial trains, including the Star, the Beam
er Land Co.'S special, and mixed train
of Standard Land Co.'S cars, the La Fer
ia Land Syndicate and others
In the crowd were nearly five hund.
red persons from all parts of the Cen
tral North, and the streets Saturday
night presented very unusual number
of strangers, the locals staying inside
mostly, probably because of the incle-
ment weather. Nevertheless, the restau-
rants and picture shows did a land
office" business as well as the land men.
The Frisco yards Saturday night han
died forty-two passenger coaches AS a
result the parking tracks were taxed to
their capacity, and the yard men were at
their wits end as to where they could
place the incoming trains. The disposi-
ton Of the Star rtain was not difficult.
and it was given q track in front Of the
passenger station. Early at night the
Beamer special arrived, and then the
troubles began. The branch train also
carried several land cars, and it was
necessary to leave these cars temper.

AT nine o'clock the regular train, due

wreck at Angleton, arrived. Later the
Standard Land Co, train, which also in
cluded other concerns, arrived, and as
the parking privileges had already been
dispOsd of, these people had to fare as
best they could in the freight Yards
Sunday morning, however they exchang-
ed places with the Star Land Co. train.
About midnight the second regular train
arrived from Houston, and with its de

The parking tracks were to say the least

The Beamer Land rain was scheduled

because of the weather and the muddy

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH.
FIREMAN AT Donna SUGAR MILL BADLY
HURT.

Whirled repeatedly around by mechan
ical apparatus and finally dashed to the
floor was the unusual experience that
nearly cost the lift of ID. X Hall at the
Donna Sugar Factory at Donna Satur-
day night at s o'clock. Hall, who is a
fireman at the plant was working
around some machinery when his coat
became entangled in some of the cog
wheels. He was whirled around so many
times that those who saw the accident
could not count them, but one estimate
gave it at least hundred times
The injured man was brought to
Brownsville on the motor yesterday
morning, his wife accompanying him, and
was taken to the Rio Grande sanitar
ium Upon examination by DR.. Harsh
barger of the sanitarium, he was found
to have a compound fracture of the
right leg, and the small bone in the leg
was broken in two or three places. The
small bones in the left foot were broken,
and four ribs were also broken.
DIR. Harshbarger believes the man will
recover from his injuries.

SHAPING Up
NOW FOR The
PRIMARY
WILL Be Held IN AUGUST
Georgia Then Selects Its
Next Governor

Atlanta, June 14.-A call probabls
will be issued this week for a meeting
of the state executive committee t.
make preparations for the state pri-
mary in August.
Chairman W. C. Wright says he ex-
poets to call the committee together
soon after June 20, and the date now
rgured On for the meeting is said to b 2
June %.
While no definite agreement or even
tentative understanding has been had
with reference to the primary date
general opinion puts it about August
20, with state convention on Sept. g.
for the purpose of carrying out the ex-
preston of the primary.
The primary could not be held ear
lier than Aug. 8, as under the law ii
must be held not more than sixty days
before the state election, which this
year falls on Oct 2. But the legisla-
ture will not adjourn until Aug. IA
and as it has always been customary
to put the primary date after the legis-
lative adjournment, it seems generally
agreed that Wednesday, Aug. 20, will
be the most acceptable and satisfacto-
| ry date, and it looks now as if it il
likely to be chosen.
There will remain, therefore, only
about ten weeks for the campaign
which everyone is agreed, is enough
if not more than enough The alb
sence Of a hot fight so far over the
governorship with indications tha'
there is going to be none of conse-
4uence, has detracted from the inter
est the campaign otherwise might
have aroused; and with presiden
tial politics at fever heat, added tt
hat as distracting element, state pol
tics is for time occupying far from
re usual attention.
Despite the fact that the time 4
comparatively short, several Georgian
Who fiirt with the governor ship rac'

nr. L. G. Hardman, of Commerce

isfy public clamor."

state, asking them what they think G

Itterred to as a possibility, but he no
saying nothing.
DR.. Hardman has always been align
ed with the Brown faction, except on
the question of prohibition, which is
rot really factional question.
Mr.. Covington generally has been
aligned with the Hoke Smith faction
though he cooled little it is said as
result of the senatorial race.
Mr. Fielder is strongly allied with
the Hoke Smith faction, so here is
, a list of possibilities running all the
way between two extremes.
Notwithstanding all of this political
prognosticators are predicting that
there will not be another candidate
in the race. And, it is said, if Ton,
Hudson had remained in two or threr
weeks longer, there would not ever
lave been talk of another candidate.
