freely made by officials of the ad-

ows the interest in the confidential

peril of Americans and foreigners.
Throughout the interior of Mexico,
secret advices to the state department
say, Americans and British are in

to the fact that bands of rebels every

THE INSECT PROBLEM
FOR 'BRAzOS COUNTY
FARMERS TO SOLVE

Some dozen years ago when Prof
Atwater and other naturalists began
to appeal to the people of Texas to
stop the wholesale slaughter of all
kinds OF birds and warned the people
through the press OF the State and
Nation il they continued to kill the
birds that the insects would finally
destroy the crops, there were very
few people that paid any attention to
these appeals and still fewer OF them
that believed word that these good
men were saying. But time has
proven that no prophets ever foretold
coming events any truer. The birds
are gone and the earth and the air
are alive with miriads OF insects.
Everywhere the writer has been this
spring he has been beset with all sorts
of questions regarding the discovery
of some new bug or worn that has
made its appearance in some farmers
garden or orchard or field or forest
or pasture. Everywhere and every.
thing is covered with worms and bugs.
In the bottom the corn was eaten up
in the ground by grub worms and
thousand legs; on the hills the cut
worms have ruined the gardens and
have played havoc with the stands Of
both corn and cotton. The post oak
woods are full OF worms, and large
percentage of the forest trees are al
most entirely devoid OF foliage, and to
cap the climax, and which is the most
serious proposition OF all the rest,
prior to the rain where the soil was
getting dry the chinch-bGg had begun
to make serious inroads on the corn
that was not over six inches high. We
talk about the "pestiferous fly" and
Swat the fly" is the worldwide slogan
of today. and ! believe it is a good
one, but | believe just at this time a
great deal more important slogan
would be, swat the worm and bug"

the source of supply Of human food.

alarmingly short, and unless some
thing is done to put the food supply

WHY NOTHING GREW.

A party of Northerners was touring
Virginia some years ago and as the
crowded train was crawling through
Stafford County, near Fredericksburg,
an old and wizened woman, with a
basket bigger than herself, came
aboard and edged diffidently into the
vacant place beside one of the men
of the party.

have around here, madam he began.

his home or his office or any place
he prefers. This thing of treating free
men as though they were guilty of
treason, strategem and spoils is all
wrong. If we are not equals, then our
whole scheme OF government is a
huge failure. The tendency Of modern
legislation is to thank God that we
are not as other men, and such a
course, persisted in, will make our
freedom as dead sea fruit.-Waco
Times-Herald.
The object of this bill, to be plain
about it, was to cut out the vote of
the negro and the illiterate foreigner,
who do not know B from bulls foot;
who do not know for whom they are
voting, for what they are voting, and
furthermore do not give a tinker's
dam.
While the bill would have caught
many of these classes, it would also
have caught many Americans. Men
who can read and write too. Men who
can read the Constitution of the Unit
ed States and understand it. Under
the present election laws, many of the
ballots are complicated affairs and a
man can hardly vote intelligently I'M
less he employ an attorney to inter
pref the ballot for him.
The literacy bill above referred to
would have DISTINGUISHED more than
half the voters OF Texas and prevented
them from exercising their constitu-
tional rights.
The Eagle does not believe in, nor
sanction, the practice of rounding up
and voting the ignorant classes of the
State like so many cattle, thereby
often defeating the will of the intelli-
gent citizenship, but we think some
other remedy should be prescribed for
this evil, rather than the disfranchise-
ment of a large part of the honest,
conscientious electors of the State.

THE LlTERAcY BILL.

Governor Colquitt having vetoed the
bill requiring that each voter shall
mark his ballot unaided, the Dallas
News rises to remark:
"The Governor vetoed this bill be-
cause it would have had the effect Of
mastering out of service a whole regi-
ment of the army in which he is one
of the captains"
1t is not exactly fair to ascribe mo-
tives besides, as we understand it,
the esteemed News is by some ac-
counted high private in that same
army.
The charge has often been made
that Governor Colquitt in his several
campaigns had the solid support of
the liquor people; if that be true, he
certainly didn't reciprocate when he
signed the bill which forbids shipment
of liquors into dry" territory.
Recurring to the literacy bill, we
do not see why the citizen should be
deprived of his right to call in assist
ance in the making out of his ballot.
Really, we think the citizen should be
privileged to make up his ballot at

breeding ground for these destructive
insects, we can not foretell what the
outcome will be. To do this 1t is going
to take intelligent management and
work. The fence rows and ravines and
all places where brush and vegetation
decay in piles during the winter must
be cleared and kept cleared, and the
farm land should be broke in the fall
and winter Some man says that such
things can not be done, that the aver
age farmer has more to do now than
he can get to, and know this Is true
to certain extent, but the farmers
of this country must learn to take less
land to the hand and see that this
extra work is done, and | believe that
this work when done we'll will be the
best paying work that will be done ON
any farm. While we are swatting the
fly to keep down disease, let us re-
member that we must also swat the
bug and the worm to keep down hun
ger.

be rejoiced. The value of these
schools to Bryan in a material way,
to say nothing of their enlightening
and elevating influences, has become
SO apparent and so convincing as to
cause reversion of sentiment among
those who have heretofore regarded
them indifferently. The idea has
dawned on them that II the schools
in their present status are such val
liable contributors to the city's pros
perity, how much greater would be
their helpfulness should they be en-.
larged and developed to their full
capacity and possibility.
The new interest is also good for
the schools. It is well known fact
that schools must depend for success
largely upon the citizenship where
they are located. They must have the
and cooperation of the
people. And when they get this, even
though it be from selfish motives. they
will come into their own. Don't think
for moment that the people of Bryan
can not be of great service to the
city's school. They have been in the
past, and with this renewed and
awakened interest, they will be of
much greater service in the future
than they have ever been before, and
The future of the schools of Bryan is
assured.

Last night about 10 o'clock Berry
Johnson, the city pound man, was
held up while searching for some loose
horses. On West Caldwell street,
about two blocks from Main street,
he was hailed from a dark corner and
demanded to state whom he was was
and what was his business. He backed
off and returned later with Officer
Morley, but the man could not be
found. The officers think the incident
was due to the mistake of a drunken
man who was hunting for someone
else.

The people of Bryan have at last

of the several schools located in their

there were others who regarded them
irdifferently and were not disposed to
render them any service in any form.
