COL. MINERS SUCCESSOR
To Be Chosen by Directors and Not by
Governor.

To The Post:
My attention has been called to an
article published in the Waco News
In whicsh 1t is charged that the resig.
nation OF Colonel r. T. Miner from
the presidency of the Agricultural and
Mechanical College was brought about
by Governor Colquitt for the purpose
of making a place for some of his DO.
Ilitical friends.
But for the fact that silence might
be misinterpreted by some persons as
an admission of the truth of this state.
ment reply would be unnecessary.
The plain facts are that when the
board Informed Governor Colouitt of
Colonel Miners intended resignation
he admonished the board to be care
full In the selection Of man for this
place, expressing the opinion that an
educator of broad and extensive OK.
perience should be selected. To use
IdlmOSt MS exact words.
IF l were choosing a man for that
place / would comb this country TO
find the man that was best fitted for
that particular line Of work. That in.
stitution is one OF great potential good
and much depends on the man who is
at the head of It,"
The Governor made it plain to the
board that the responsibility for the
selection of man for this position
rested with the board, and that he
would expect them to assume this bur
den, and, therefore, he could not fair.
ly make a suggestion to the board
even II he was so disposed, which he
was not. This conversation took
place during call which the board in
a body made upon the Governor after
leaving the office of the Secretary of
State, where they qualified and receiv.
ed their commission, and this was
only an incident to general conversa-
ton in regard to affairs of the col
lege. Any member of the board will
verify the correctness of this state
ment and will testify that Governor
Colquitt did not attempt TO use his in
fluence with the board in this matter,
on the contrary his position fully
maintained his reputation for broad
minded craftsmanship.
In connection with this matter it
may serve good purpose at this
time to say that the various rumors in
circulation and published daily as to
the selection of man for the presi-
deney of the Agricultural and Mechan-
ical College are unauthorized and I'M
founded. The directors of this insti-
tuition fully realize the necessity of
making proper selection for the
presidency thereof. No one has been
selected, nor will selection be made
until the field is thoroughly gone over
and the services of the very best man
available will be secured.

CATTLE QUARANTINE LIFTED.
Nearly 10000 Square Miles of Southern
Territory Are Affected.


Territory Are Affected.
By order of the acting secretary of
agriculture. nearly 10000 square miles
Of new territory are to be released from
the southern cattle quarantine at once.
This quarantine has been maintained
for years against the southern cattle
infected with the ticks which carry the
Texan fever. There has been a cru
SADIE for cleaning up the tick infected
territory carried on since 1906 and
nearly 100000 of the 100000 square
miles of quarantned territory have al
ready been declared tick free and re-
leased. This has vastly increased the
value of southern cattle in the cleared
territory and is increasing the meat
supply, which eventually will tend to
reduce the price of meat
At present, however, the meat out
look, according to the bureau of ami
NAL industry. is bad owing to the
drought of the past summer in the
middle and south west and the high
price of stock feed. which increases
the cost of carrying cattle through the
winter.
