CORPSE IS MUCH ALIVE
Relatives and Friends of Mexia Man
Misunderstood Message and Meet
Him at Train with Hearse.

Mexia, Texas, Dec. 1S.-The famous
cablegram Mark Twain sent back to
America on receipt of information of
his demise, "That the accounts of his
death had been very much eXag-
gerated," was recalled yesterday when
]. H. Pitts, a well known citizen of
this place, arrived home from visit
with relatives at Greenville, to find
a hearse with the customary black
a group of sad-looking pail
bearers with heads barred and pro-
fusion of flowers. Even the grave had
been dug and many sorrowing friends
had gathered at the residence to at
tend the funeral, which was to be
held under the auspices of the Ma
sonic lodge. No one was more sur
prised than Mr.. Pitts.
The mistake was due to the mis-
of message sent in
advance that the body, instead of the
live man, would arrive on the morn
ing train.

Manitoba, to Galveston, Texas. They
regard it as a pipe dream" of some
visionary individual who delights in
erecting air castles, dream cities, and
great systems of roads. Not so. 1t is
entitled to every consideration, as it
is the outgrowth of well matured
plans, thought out and given form by
practical, horse-sense, Woodworking
men.
1t is not impractical at all, but is
feasible and can be accomplished in
much shorter time than many at first
glance would imagine. To go with, in
many OF the states this highway takes
the same course as the national high
ways, designated by the governors of
the states for post roads to be built
by the federal government in connec-
ton with the parcels post, which is to
be inaugurated early in January. The
government will construct these cross
state highways to facilitate the hand
ling of the great volume of business
that will be created by the parcels
post.
In Texas, Governor Colquitt has, by
request of the postal department at
Washington, designated a number of
these state highways. one of which
is to run from Galveston to the Red
River via Houston, Bryan, Waco, ETC.,
and this new highway, the great
Winnipeg-Gulf road, has adopted this
national post road as laid out by Gov
ernor Colquitt for its route through
Texas.
The construction of this road
through the state looks like a gigantic
undertaking at first thought, but it is

STOPPED APPLE
PEDDL|MG FROM CARS

Some time ago the railroad commits
sion refused to stop the practice of
selling produce from cars on sidings,
but left the matter with the roads,
and in response to numerous requests
over the state number of railroads
have entered into an agreement to
stop it. Through some mistake the
local agent of the /. & G. N. had re-
ceived no notice from headquarters,
and as a car OF apples were being
sold from a car on the l. & G. N.
switch in the rear of the Smith Drug
Company, the agent last night re-
ceived a telephone message from
the general freight agent at Houston
stating that it must be stopped at
once. The man selling the apples re-
fused to quit and, according to in
structions, the car was closed and
sealed by the agent.

not. 1t can be built with all ease, and
built quickly. In fact, 1t is more than
half built now. Coming out of Gal
weston, there is already perfect road
for the first one hundred miles. This
completed road extends from Calves
ton through Houston to within a few
miles OF Hampstead, only fifty miles
south of Bryan. On the north when
we reach Falls county, and from there
on to the state line, nearly every
county has a permanent roadway al
ready built. They have extending
through the county perfectly graded,
drained and graveled roads, with all
culverts and small bridges made Of
concrete and the larger bridges OF
steel. From McLennan county north,
there would be only few short con-
Meeting links to be built. From Hemp
stead to Marlin would be the major
work of this entire state highway, and
it can be built in a short time.
The counties through which this
great road runs can well afford to CO.
operate in its construction in both
labor and money, for it will give a
perfect highway entirely through the
county. In Brazos county it would be
great thing. Coming into the county
three miles this side of Navasota and
going out at Benchley, would give us
fine north and south line, and would
be worth tens of thousands OF dollars
to the county.
The whole country is awakening to
the subject of good roads and BRACES
county must not fall behind Let us
strike hands with these great state
and national enterprises, and also
bend every energy to the construction
of permanent roadways into every Sec
ton of Brazos county.

VINDICATION
FOR LORIMER
Senate Committee Adopts Report
Exonerating Illinois Senator
of Charges.

WASHINGTON. March Ex-senator
Lorimer. of Illinois, today won an
Overwhelming vindicatIon at the
hands OF the special committee OF the
eight Senators. who have finished a
second investigation of his election by
the Illinois Legislature in 1909.
Twice challenged and once acquitted
the committee by votes of TO on
all vital points completely exonerated
him OF any knowledge OF legislative
corruption.
Edward Hines. the millionaire lum-
herman. referred to in the investiga.
tion, "as the man who put Lorimer
over" also got a vindication by the
committee. II had been charged that
Hines raised a corruption und OF
100000 to elect Lorlmer to the Sen.
ate. The majority repudiated that and
passed a resolution that the evidence
had shown that he did notraise or
contribute any sum improperly.
The majority held that no new evil
dence had been adduced TO justify
reversal OF the senate's previous ac-
ton in Senator Lorimer's favor: that
there was no evidence OF n jackpot in
the Illinois general assembly OF 1909
in connection with his election. and
flatly. that no corrupt practices had
been shown By the investigation.
The case will be squarely before
the senate by neext week. when a
protracted debate will begin.
The basis Of the senate's action was
the plea recognized by Lorim0
counsel that the previous action OF
the senate bars reconsideratlon.

the city administration and through
the oil review bitterly attacked candi-
dates. The Leader. under the editor

the Republican ticket.
