Trouble about money matters had
been experienced all along by the

climax came in Denver when the

Mr.. Hawkins, who is a brother-inlaw
of Dunstan Collins, had received s1S,-

were owing, got his salary and a few

.BRAzOS DESERVES
ROAST SHE GETS
Secretary Mcknight Says Reports Of
Road Conditions in Lower Part
Of County Not Exaggerated.

With regard to the condition Of the
Brazos County road lying just north
of the Navasota river, and through
Bankers prairie, will state that !
drove over this road early today. and
find II in a fearful condition. The
road proper is strictly impossible for
cars and can be travelled by a team
with the greatest difficulty. The tour
lists are enabled to get through solely
by the grace OF the plantation owners
who have generously thrown open
their field gates TO the travelling pub
lie and are permitting this traffic
through their fields at no small In
convenience and at considerable di-
rect financial loss through the destruc-
ton of growing crops.
This damage led one or two planta-
ton owners to close their fields TO the
traffic for a brief time. but moved by
sense of pity for the travelling pub
lie. these farmers have again thrown
open their gates. and today as / la
boriously worked by passage" with
team and buggy up the main road,
looked across the open fields to where
the autos were stuck hard and fast
until lifted out by teams.
In this connection. II is hut fair to
state here that some of these planta-
ton managers have rendered invalu-
able service to the tourists and that
only a very nominal sum has been
charged. However, II seems that the
darkies on some Of these farms have
taken advantage Of the situation and
have charged exorbitant prices for
pulling the autos out of the mud. 1t
is not believed that any white man
has been guilty OF this species Of high
handed hold-up.
My purpose in making this trip TO
Navasota and back over this fearful
section of Brazos County highway w
was to see II we could arrange to
station good mule teams at the worst
places in the road to assist the tour
lists in getting by. But I find the task
one beyond the ability of the Com
mercial Club to handle with its limited
funds.
So I return home with this appeal
to our people:
II we value the good name of Bra
EOS County and her institutions, for
heavens sake let's get busy" and re-
move this stigma from our otherwise
fair name.
' We deserve the worst that has been
aid about us, whatever that may be,
we hesitate where so much is In

IN THE TENNIS TOURNEY.

ment. played yesterday. Bullock and
Stewart won a set each. after playing
some OF the most brilliant tennis seen
on the local courts this season. The
first was won by Stewart. Ga, and
the second set was won by Bullock,
Sc. The second set was really harder
contested than the first. Stewart
needed only one point TO win the last
set at two different times, but by play
ing hard. fast tennis Bullock managed
TO pull out OF the hole, and finally
won out. The third and deciding set
was not played on account Of dark
ness. It win be played in the next
day or two.
L. A. Hamilton and Jim Thomas are
scheduled 10 play today.

TO INSPECT mlLLIcAN ROAD.

Acting upon advice OF the CONNER
cial Club, Secretary Mcknight left last
night for the southern part OF the
county to inspect the road carefully
from Millican to the Navasota river
and ascertain the actual condition Of
the road all along the route. A great
deal Of criticism has been made by
tourists about the condition Of this
part OF Brazos County's highway, and
II Is the purpose OF our secretary TO
see what could be done.
A report that extortionate prices
we're being charged travelling parties
for teams to pull them through bad
places on Bankers prairie will be
looked after, and II reports are true
some means will be used to properly
adjust cause for criticism.
