SECOND MEETING At
KuRTEN LAST NIGHT

The mass meeting at Kurten las
night is pronounced by all as one Of
the best meetings held, and the senti
ment in favor of the bond issue has
very materially changed in the last
ten days. Mr.. M. B. Casters was made
chairman and the principal speakers
were Judge A. G. Board and Prof. r.
j. Potts. 1t is conceded by those who
heard the speech that Judge Board
made one of his best and most COM
prehensive expositions of the entire
proposition, and he was accorded the
closest attention. by the entire audi
ence.
The opposition argument was made
by Attorney ]. G. Minkert.
Prof. Potts technical discourse upon
and maintenance of high
ways was thoroughly appreciated by
everyone.
The delegation from Bryan came
home well pleased with the evenings
effort.

DON'T FAIL TO VOTE.

The day of the bond election is near,
Thursday, February s, being the time.
The Eagle urges every property tax.
payer in the county to go to the polls
and vote. 1t is indeed an important
measure and the responsibility of it's
disposition rests upon every voter
alike. Don't leave it to the other fel.
low, but do your own duty in the
premises.
The question has been thoroughly
discussed, and The Eagle will not in
suit your intelligence by advising you
how to vote. Every man is capable Of
arriving at his own verdict and each
individual should vote for what he
deems for the best interest of him
self, his neighbors and his county. All
The Eagle urges is that every quail.
fed property taxpayer go to the polls
and cast his ballot.

Memorial to Roer Women.

Johannesburg, South Africa, Feb. C.
Imposing ceremonies marked the
laying of the cornerstone today of the
proposed monument to the Boer wom-
en- and children who died in the Brit
ish concentration camps. Much bitter
ness has been aroused by the action
of the Bloemfontein council in passing
an appropriation for the memorial,
which is of course considered an in
suit by the English. Vehement pro-
tests were made by the English-speakl
ing members of the council, who al
legged that the monument would only
serve to perpetuate bad feeling be-
tween Beers and British. 1t has been
decided to abandon the idea of incor-
porating in the monument an ilfustra-
tive panel highly obnoxious to British

SOUNDS 4 NOTE
or WARMING
Mr.. J. J. Jones Warns the Farmers
Against Life Long Debt
and High Taxes.
Lookout, brother farmer and tax

Lookout, brother farmer and tax
payer! Keep your eyes open!!
Fellow Citizens and Taxpayers
being one of the taxpayers of Brazos
County, I would like to add few
more words to what has already been
said on this subject. II this bond issue
carries, citizens of old Brazos, we
never will get through paying taxes.
Please consider how much more your
taxes were in 1911 than in $780, we
can't tell how much they will be in
1912. They say our taxes won't be
raised more than or 10 cents on the
hundred dollars, but lookout for the
year 1913. You will receive a card to
appear before the commissioners
court and show cause why your prop
erty should not be raised. You may
go, and lose time from your work, and
plead with them, but to no avail, for
the assessor knows more about what
your property is worth than you do
yourself, even If he has never seen
your property.
They claim that Bryan will pay rs
per cent and the farmers only rs per
cent. Citizens, think of the other side
of the question. The people of Bryan
have enough taxes already. Brother
farmer, just think of the amount of
interest 100000 will draw. You know
how that interest accumulates when
you are trying to pay for you a little
home. Now, If our taxes are raised
much more, and drouth or some
other calamity should befall us, what
on earth have we to pay such high
taxes with? The state will get our
land, and we Jack Leg farmers will
have to rent land from the state, or
move to town and work at jobs of
some kind. Brother farmers, you all
know that the products we raise bring
but small price, simply because we
have no SAY So in the matter.
l live seven miles from Bryan, five
miles of the road (that extending from
Bryan to College, is in excellent con.
dition, and the other two miles is not
so good.
l like good road as we'll as any
body, but I'm afraid that if this bond
issue is carried some of the roads will
get all the work and others be neg
lected. | am not fighting the bond is
sue especially for myself, for the road
on which live will be sure to get its
part of attention. but for those who
will have to support the bond and not
get the benefits of it.
The road on which | live will be
fixed especially for automobiles, and
when farmer gets on it, it will be-
long to the fellow with the auto. say
this from experience.
Now, If this bond issue is carried,
who will be called on? The land
owner, for they know he has the land
md the city man has his lots and resi-.
ience. They will say your property is
worth so much, and you may say,
Why 1t cost me so much" but that
makes no difference. They say 1t is
worth so much, and 1t goes down that
way, and you must pay it.
Now, fellow citizens, hope you will
hink this matter over well. Think
low we are to make a living and edu-
ate our children, and pay for some
hing that we do not get the benefits
#. Let every man think twice before
10 votes.
