DEATH OF C. ". NORWOOD

The death angel visited the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. c. Norwood and
took from them their son, G. w. Nor
wood, on October 2S. After a severe
illness he was called by his Creator
to the glorious mansions above.
He was a faithful and useful men,
Der Of our Sunday school and Baptist
church. He was always ready and
willing to assist in every good work.
In sadness we will miss him, and the
place he has left vacant can never be
filled. God in His goodness and mercy
has called him from world OF sin
and sorrow to an eternal home OF
light and love.
He is survived by his father and
mother, three brothers, three sisters
and host of friends. The tenderest
sympathy of neighbors and friends
goes out to all who are bowed down
under a weight of sorrow.
He was laid to rest Tuesday after
noon at 6 o'clock in the Wellborp
cemetery with the honors OF the
Woodmen lodge, of which order he
was member.

EIGHTEEN DOLLARS A WEEK TO
WEALTH.

An dollar-a-week workman
at machine shop forge in the latter
eighties, Samuel Vauclain, now vice
president and general manager of the
Baldwin Locomotive Works, has
bought for 100000 an estate of $50
acres in Delaware county. He will
build two palatial homes and stock
the estate with the finest horticul-
tural exhibits that money can pro-
vide.
Probably one of the highest salaried
corporation officials in the country,
his rise has been rapid. Entering the
big locomotive plant as a workman,
he was promoted to foreman, to super
intendent, to general manager.-Phil
adelphia Telegram to the New York
World.
He had the grit, the energy, the
bulldog sticktoitiveness. In other
words he was willing to pay the price.
For every young man possessing these
characteristics, a wreath of victory
has already been woven.

THE TRUE SITUATION.

The Dallas Times Herald heads an
editorial, mo Excuse for Professional
Beggars." So great a truth is ex.
pressed In the caption that it is not
necessary to reproduce the editorial
which calls attention to a condition
in Texas that should have immediate
attention. The poor we have always
with us. and public aid should never
De denied any worthy applicant: but
charitable organizations should be
trusted to secure funds for and to in
vestigate all cases brought to their
attention, giving assistance to all de-
serving ones and exposing takers.
Then begging on the streets and from
house to house should be prohibited.
Every professional public beggar
should be punished as a vagrant and
the practice. stopped.-San Antonio
Express.
The Eagle is glad to note that the
public conscience is at last awakened
on this matter to the point where the
newspapers feel justified in entering
their editorial protest. Professional
begging has long been regular bust
ness in this country and should have
been stamped out long ago. It has
come to the place where they go in
droves, kind Of travelling companies
as 1t were. The Eagle is frequently
importuned by three or four in one
day. 1t is nuisance and should be
abated. ~

give the reasons for his judgment.
Thirty-two students, members of the
junior and senior classes in animal
husbandry at the college, participated

VACCINATION AND SMALLPOX.

There is an honest difference of
opinion, says the New Orleans States,
regarding the value of vaccination as
q preventive of smallpox, and some
people object to 1t so strongly that
every now and then there is recourse
to the courts in an effort to prevent
the enforcement of a compulsory
vaccination law or ordinance. But
while admitting that there is an hon.
est difference of opinion, the majority
Of people having common sense and
reasoning ability recognize aud appre-
ciate the value of vaccination.
At recent conference of the health
officials of Pittsburg the fact was
brought out that from the beginning
to the end of the epidemic of small
pox in that city there were ITO cases
OF the disease, LOT of which have been
classified OF this number IS of the
patients had never been vaccinated
and ~ had been vaccinated, but of
the latter only five within seven years
Thirty of the patients died, and 2S
OF these were among those who had
never been vaccinated.
In the face of such showing it is
absurd to deny that vaccination is not
protection to the individual and to
the community. Smallpox, as all stu
dents of medical history know, was
the scourge of the world until Jenner
discovered vaccination as prevent
I've. After the Crusades it ragged
through European countries, sweeping
away thousands of people, and event.
ually it spread to the new world, hay
ing been introduced in America by
the Spaniards early in the sixteenth
century.
Starting in Santo Domingo, the dis
ease was carried to Mexico, where it
destroyed 100000 people. In 1907 it
had spread to the northern countries.
killing one-fourth of the inhabitants
of Iceland, and in 1888 it almost de-
populated Greenland. From those
years onward smallpox was a con-
slant menace to human life all over
the world until 1896, when Jenner
made his wonderful discovery. His
tory is filled with proofs of the value
OF vaccination, and while theories are
theories, facts are also facts.-Waco

PREACHERS AND AUTOMOBILES

DR.. j. e. Love of Dallas told the
Missouri General Association assem-
bled at Kansas City that every Bap-
fist preacher who used an automobile
is able to support missionary. That
is partly true perhaps, but in the case
OF the country preacher a little run
about would enable him to reach many
more souls than going to his missions
on foot. This is an age of hurry and
we would suggest that every preacher
be given runabout SO that he may
do the work of two men.-Mineral
Wells Index.
The Eagle thinks the suggestion of
the Index is good one. We take the
position that a preacher has as much
right to an automobile as anybody
