Treasurer Of the County.

By reference to The Eagles an
nouncement column today will be seen
the name of Mr. ]. B. Priddy, who is
candidate for reelection to the Of
fee of county treasurer, subject to
the action of the July Democratic pri-
mary.
Mr.. Priddy was raised in the county
and is one of the county's best known
and most popular citizens. His long
residence in the city, his various bust
ness connections and his official
career have brought him into close re-
lationship with the people from all
sections, and given him wide ac-
quaintanceship over the county.
Mr.. Priddy has had quite an official
experience, having served the city six
years as alderman, the county four
years as commissioner, and as county
treasurer for the past two years. In
all his service in public life, Mr.. Prid-
dy's watchword has been duty, and
his only master the people from whom
he received his commission. He has
been true to every trust reposed in
him, and discharged his official duties
efficiently and with marked ability.
AS treasurer, the finances of the
county have been in safe hands, every
penny accounted for. and every book
and every account kept right up to
the minute so the exact condition OF
every fund could be ascertained at any
time.
If reelected Mr.. Priddy promises
the same faithful discharge OF his
duties in the future as in the past.
He is indeed thankful to his friends
for their support in the past and will
appreciate whatever they may dc for
him in the future.
The Eagle takes pleasure in placing
his name and claims before the Demo
cratic voters of the county.

A. & NJ. MILITARY
WAS INSPECTED
This College Has Always Held High
Rank With Military Schools
Of Country.

Annual inspection of the military
organization at the Texas A. G. NJ. Col
lege to determine the rating of that
institution in the War Department S
records was conducted here Saturday
by Captain H. l.. Laubach of the in
fantry, now on the general stoff at
Washington. The cadet corps of the
college was put through a severe test
by the Representative of the War De-
partment.
Regimental drills, dress parade,
work in extended order, company drill,
guard mount and practically all forms
of drill were viewed by Captain Lau-
bauch. He also made thorough in
spection of the hospital, mess hall,
dormitories and of the records in the
commandments office.
A. G. Ms rank with the War De-
partment rests solely on the recon-
mendation of the inspecting officers.
This institution now ranks as one of
the ten distinguished military institu-
tons of the United States, and while
the Texas colleges standing in that
ten has never been made known Of
ficially the college people have been
given to understand that she stands
at the top.
Il was here in 1911 to conduct the
inspection and since that time I've
noticed a decided improvement in one
feature which we are endeavoring to
encourage, and that is in the develop
ment of officers" the captain said
when he had completed the inspection.
I'VE want men trained so that in case
we should ever have a war there
would not be a scarcity of good men
for leaders. Your young men as Of
ficers have shown great improvement.
Work of the regiment in extended
order was decidedly good when | was
here before and | can see no change
in that regard
Captain Laubach left Saturday night
for Houston. Later he will inspect
Arkansas University and number OF
other military institutions in that dis
trict before he returns to headquar-
ters at Washington.

SOUTH AMERICA THE NEW FIELD
 FOR AUTOMOBILES

 than B horsepower Trailers also are specified as being particularly desir- able for army use
 The subvention for single truck amounts to the sum of $119O payable as follows: A premium of s42S upon pur- chase, followed by four annual prem iums of s190.50 for the maintenance of each vehicle If three or five-ton trailer Is provided with the truck the original premium Is raised to s714 with annual payments of s2S5 each.
 France has adopted much the same method as that of Germany by paying heavy premiums to truck purchasers with the understanding that they are to revert to the government for im- mediate use in case of war
 Each year these trucks are sub mitted to the military authorities by the various owners and an exhaustive examination determines whether or not they fulfill all of the government re- quirements. The truck must be con- structed entirely in France and in a factory where at least three fifths of the working force are French It must be in commercial use on French terri tory. It must conform in construc- tion and equipment with the require ments laid down by the French mili- tary experts. Upon complying with these regulations the truck owner re- ceives a bounty aggregating from s1022 to $1S72.
 "In spite of these precautions, which have been carried on almost since the inception of the motor truck industry, an alarming shortage of transportation facilities has been found by the tre mcndous armies now in the field. AL though the levies on motor trucks have been followed by heavy drafts on horses. many more trucks are still needed"

GOSSIPS COVER FIELD;
 NEWSPAPERS USELESS

From the New York Herald.
 Macon, AIo.-College Mound. the old school town in southwestern Macon coun- ty, after calm reflection among it's cit- izens has decided that a local newspaper would be of no vital importance in the community because of competition by the gossps at the village store and sewing society.
 Dana Castle, in Macon, told the result of the attempt to establish a weekly news paper in his town.
 When the promoters met the citizens the other night to talk the matter over, he said, one of the speakers said he couldn't see any good to come from a weekly newspaper, because 1t could not possibly print any news that would not be known around the village long before the newspaper came out.
 Thirty or 40 years ago a weekly news paper might have done fairly well, but today it would be a good deal like the fifth wheel on the wagon. There would be no use for it. The telephone, the sew ing societies and the men who foregather about the village stores would beat tho newspaper out with the news all the way from one to six days"

BIC FUSS MADE OVER ENGLISH IN FRANCE
 WHEN WAR BEGAN
Latter Depressed Until Great Britain Declared War Then Enthusiasm
 Knew No Bounds

Nottingham. September 1e.-fSpecia1A The enthusiasm of the French for the English is strikingly illustrated by the | experience of a Nottingham woman who made a journey from Berne throue, France about the time of the outbreak of hostilities
 She went to Berne to visit her sister on July 21 and the first intimation of anything untoward came from her broth er-in-law, who is an officer in the Swiss army, and whose regiment at this time received orders to mobilize. At the end of the month the subject of our inter- view became somewhat alarmed and hearing that an outbreak of war was probable. she left Berne for England on August 1. Hundreds of people thronged the station, and she was fortunate enough to meet a party of English and Ameri- can travellers bound for London, whom she was glad to join.
 At D. m. on the following day (Sun- day) the train was held up at Belfort, on the frontier, and the passengers were in mile of the railway. Food and drink were unobtainable; and although two of the passengers had passports from Sir Edward Grey, they were not allowed to go into the town to obtain refreshments
 eventually Paris was reached in the early hours of Monday morning, and here everywhere was confusion. All travellers had to go to the various consuls to establish their identity, and the Englisi, party were informed that they could not proceed to Dieppe until the following day On every hand the French displayed the utmost cordiality to the English, and when it was known that England had de-

clared war upon Germany their enthu- siasm knew no bounds.
 Englishmen were embraced and every where the cry was heard, "Vive rAngle- terrev'
 At 8 o'clock Wednesday afternoon the, party started for Dieppe, and again the- utmost difficulty was experienced in ob- taining food Numerous troop trains were on the road. and the soldiers sang al- ternately the French and English na- tional anthems. It was a. m. on Thurs day before the party arrived in Lon- don. after a memorable and eventful journey.
 T can't tell you what a fuss they made of the English people, said our informant. You have only to speak Eng fish and they shake hands with you. But they were very depressed until they heard that England had come to the fore"

beauty and grace of the dancers.
There was a large troupe and vari =
Gus kinds of dancing. One especially
beautiful dance was the rose AMI
butterfly in which the lady was
dressed as a rose and the man as a
butterfly. Mrs. Keller was among
those who saw these dances and de-
clares there was nothing but the
poetry of motion as if "the wreath
ing arms of snow and white sylpn
feet the music made" The troupe
carries it's own orchestra and the
performance remind one of the po-
cts fancy: 81 have a notion all

dancing was simply exquisite on the
stage, but no girls and men can
dress, dance or appear as they do on
the stage in any parlor of a home.
So that is why SO much dancing is
