CHAPTER XxjX.-Continued.

The cowman, mufiled to the ears in
q buffalo coat, plunged profanely into
the drift. slamming the door behind
him. Hamiin hastily glanced over the
few articles piled in readiness on the
bench-ammunition. blankets. food
paying 10 heed to Carroll's muttei ing
OF discontent. by the time Hughes
returned. he had everything strapped
for the saddles. He thrust the cow
mans rifle under his own flap, but
handed the latter a revolver. staring
straight into his eyes as he did so.
Il reckon you and have got enough
in common In this chase to play
square," he said grimly. We're both
out after lie Fevre. amt we?"

The man drew the sleeve OF his
coat over his lips. his eyes shifting be-
fore the Sergeant's steady gaze.
Il amt thet sort" he muttered un-
easily. Yer don't need to think thet

Maybe not" and Hamlin swung
into the saddle carelessly. only
thought I'd tell you beforehand what
would happen II you attempt any fool

Carroll. supporting himself by the
table. crept across to the door and
watched them. reckless as to the en-
tering cold. The glare OF the white
snow revealed clearly the outlines OF
the disappearing horsemen. as they
rode cautiously down the bank The
thin fringe of shore ice broke under
the weight Of the ponies hoofs. as the
riders forced them forward into the
icy water. A moment later the two
crept up the sharp incline OF the op
posite shore. appearing distinct
against the sky as they attained the
summit. Hamlin waved his hand, and
then. on lope. the figures vanished
into the gloom. Crying. and swearing
at his helplessness. the deserted sol
dier closed the door and crept bach
shivering into his blankets.
Hughes turned his horses head tt
the southwest, and rode steadily for
ward, the buffalo overcoat giving him
a shaggy. grotesque appearance In
the spectral light reflected from the
snow. without word Hamlin fol

both men watchful OF the snow under

the character OF the country began to
change The level plain broke into
series OF ridges of irregular forma-
ton. all evidently heading toward
some more southern valley. In the de-
pressions the snow lay banked in deep
riffs and, after plunging desperately
through two of these. unable to judge
correctly In the dim light where to
ride, Hughes turned more to the
south, skirting along the bare slope of
a ridge. trusting some turn lower
down would yield them the necessary
westerning.

Early Days Of ciuarmakina

At one time in the early history Of
this country cigarmaking was an i'm

quantities of German-made cigars
came to the United States. The first
separate tabulation OF cigar imports
was In 1904. and In that year four
million were brought into the United
States. nearly all OF them coming from
the West Indies.

A INDUSTRIOUS WRONG.

The Waco Times-Herald says that
no Senator or Representative ought
to have the naming of any executive
officer. The Times-Herald is some
times eminently correct in its conclu-
Waxahachie Light.
The people ought to wake up to the
enormity of this offense on the part
of the men who are sent to Washing
ton to make laws.
The Constitution contemplates an
entire separation of the legislative and
executive departments of the govern
ment, and this is well.
Now how can the executive depart
ment transact its business in decent
and orderly manner if it has to take
its instructions as to appointments
from the legislative department?
The thing is so monstrously wrong
that we marvel at the patience of the
people.-Waco Times Herald.
Some day this whole pie system will
be under the civil service rule, and
then this disgraceful scramble will
end. Our representatives in Congress
will be left free to transact the bust
ness for which they were elected.

He said at the last Democratic
County convention in the Gainesville
courthouse that he was going to run
for the State Legislature in 1914. We
heard him say it; that there were some
things that ought to be done for Texas
and he wanted to help do them, which
was the only further ambition he had.

ALLEN ACADEMY MINSTREL
Black Face Comedians Put on Show
at Colonial Theatre Which De-
lighted Large Audience.

A minstrel show of unusual merit
was presented last night by the Allen
Academy Glee Club at the Colonial
Theatre to a well filled and highly
pleased house.
The show was divided into two parts,
the first depicting holiday occasion
on the plantation to celebrate the
birthday of "Old Uncle Joe The cele-
bration consisted of a number Of funny
jokes and local hits, and much fine
singing.
Marshall Bullock PLAYED "Uncle
Joe" and his rendition of Don't You
Cry Ny Honey" was excellent WAYNE
Darden. an end man, was the star Of
the cast, and proved singer of much
ability.
One Of the features of the evening
was a new song, down on the Shenan-
doah," presented to the public for the
first ime. The song was a sweet one,
and made a decided hit. Both the
words and music of the song were
written by William Renick Smith
now an Allen Academy bov Mr.. Smith
has written several verv ponular songs
and his latest effort will no doubt score
wide success and win fresh laurels
for him. Mr.. Smith himself acted as
pianist during the evening. His COM
position was rendered by Mr. Tacitus
CLAW.
o. O. Melton was a favorite with his
tenor, and played the part of end man
well, and deserves very special men,
ton.
During the birthday celebration
scene many very highly appreciated
songs we're sung by Messrs. Clay,
Num-, Root, Bullock. Darden and Mel
ton. assisted by strong chorus.
The second part Of the entertain.
ment represented "A Cabaret Scene
in the New York Restaurant" with
some classy raging" by four dusky
couples. A quartette greatly delighted
the audience with several songs. The
song, Romeo and juliet" by Messrs
Darden and Root, deserves especial
mention.
The minstrel was a complete sue
cess, and the Allen Academy boys are
to be congratulated on the quality Of
the show they presented to the public
last night.
The academy boys desire to express
their thanks to Mr.. Marshall Bullock,
who assisted in the performance, and
to Miss Frances Gillespie, who has
kindly spent much of her time in
training the singers.
The following named boys took part
in the show: Bob Jordan, Thad Knit

FARMERS UNION RESOLUTIONS
Oppose Adoption Of Resolution 10, Be
lieving II To Be Against the In
terests OF A. and M.
College.

The following resolutions were
unanimously adopted by the Brazos
County Farmers Union at its session
at Kurten yesterday:
Whereas, the voters of Texas have
been called upon to approve or reject
an amendment to Sections 40 and 80
of Article of the Constitution of
Texas, which is known as Senate
Joint Resolution No. IS; and,
Whereas, said amendment provides
for the unlimited issuance of bonds
by the Legislature for the purchase of
additional ground and erecting build
ings for the University of Texas, in
GLIDING a medical department and
an agricultural and mechanical de-
partment in connection with the Uni
versity; also for the penitentiary sys-
TEN, as well as for the construction OF
buildings for other institutions; and
while we favor advancement along all
educational lines, yet we believe it an
unwise and dangerous policy to confer
upon Legislatures the authority to is
sue bonds for any purpose, when it
may do so without limit as to the
amount of principal or interest, as we
believe that such policy will be the
beginning of an era of speculative
bond issues which will lead to extrav-
agance and waste in the administra-
ton of our public affairs, because bond
money is considered easy money, and
that regardless of the sugar-coating,
the bonds, principal and interest must
in the end be paid by the taxpayers
and voters; and,
Whereas, we are opposed to the is
suance of bonds without each bond
issue being submitted to the taxpay-
ers that they may vote upon them;
and,
Whereas, we believe that the con-
struction of another agricultural and
mechanical college at Austin, in con-
nection with the University, would be
unwise and would mean that in the
Bryan daily eagle and pilot. [volume] (Bryan, Tex.) 1909-1918, 1913-05-17

end our present splendid Agricultural
and Mechanical College would be con-
solidated with the University, as that
is the declared purpose of many; and
that such course would result In ad-
ditional burdens upon the taxpayers
OF Texas without benefit; in fact, the
result, in our opinion, would be that
those things so essentially necessary
to be taught in an agricultural and
mechanical college OF the first class
would be made a secondary consid-
Grafton, much to the loss of the agri-
cultural and stock raising interests of
Texas, which interests being the
largest in our State, and upon which
all of our prosperity must depend,
should receive tIe first care and con-
sideration at z hands of all the
people; therefore be it
Resolved, That we do earnestly pro-
test against the adoption of this con-
otieutiohdl dIucuulucul anu urge every
taxpayer, regardless Of his calling, to
vote against the same.
2. That we suggest to the advo-
Gates of the good roads and the ware
house plans that they can vote against
Senate Joint Resolution No. IS and for
Senate Joint Resolution No. 4.
3. We pledge ourselves to support
our educational interests, the common
school system, the Agricultural and
Mechanical College and the University
in all proper ways, but we see nothing
but danger to the Agricultural and
Mechanical College in the adoption Of
Senate Joint Resolution No. IS, besides
the unwise policy Of unlimited bond
issues without vote Of the taxpayers.

NEW FEATURE IN JOURNALISM.

The Atlanta Constitution has sprung
a new feature in the newspaper world.
Its regular morning issue of last Tues
day, May 10, was novel in that it was

staff of the paper the entire class,
thirty strong, spent the day in At
lanta gathering and editing the news.

The department Of journalism at
Emory was organized two years ago
by DR.. w. F. Melton, head Of the Eng
lish department. At that time 1t was
the only newspaper course in the
South. DR.. Melton is an old news
paper man, and the boys demonstrated
that they had imbibed the essentials
of newspaper work from him by the
way they got out the paper. From
cover to cover the work is theirs The
staff of the paper was given holiday
and the students took charge. Car
ICONS, sports, local news, all were
written by the embryo journalists.
