COTTON FARMER ON TOP
Innocence Says the New Sontli
it Getting Back to Prosper-
ous Times Once More.
JOY IN THE FARMERS HOME
I Like Old Times Before the War.
Other Notes of Interest.
The advance in the price of cotton
for the past two years has bad the
effect of making the south the cot-
ton growing countrv more prosper-
ous than it has been since the war
outside of the boll weevil district
but this weevil infected district now
covers the very beet cotton growing
sections of 1>xas. All down the
Brazos Colorado Trinity and other
rivers emptying into the gulf of
Mexico from Texas are thousands
and thousands of acres of cotton
lands tnat heretofore have yielded
from three-fourths to one and a half
bales to the acre that n«w since the
weevil hit them are almost an en-
tire failure aud this destruction has
been largelv responsible for the hisrh
prices of cotton at the present time
and it is beginning to be feared by
the spinners and the commercial
I world at large that we are going to
fail to supply the world with suffi-
cient cotton to fill the actual de-
maud. This season's crop will fa!!
far short of what the world actually
needs but outside of this weevil in-
fected district we are prospering bf-
voud what most of this generation
MM*»»
. ever knsw of before from the day
J laborer to the lawyer frona the gtog
! shop keeper to the preacher and
j even the newspaper man. The fact is
ι no one living in the south outside
j the weevil district could help de-
l riving some benefits from the pres-
I ent high prices of cotton that our
j farmers have received this fall atid
j winter. When cotton was selling
at five and six cents the farmers of
the south were not as weil off as
the day laborers who helped him
make it most of the children of the ;
j farmers then went barefooted and
.hardly had decent clothes to wear
I and in many cases the farmers'
wives and children gathered the
crops in the cold wintry weather
and hot suns of the fall as they
! could not afford to hire it gathered
when they were only able to get 5 ;
and (j cents for their cotton. Lands J
went down property of all kinds was
worth less than at any time since
the war and it looked like there was
no hope for any one living in the |
south never mind what his busi-
ness was to do more than barely
make a living Jwhile the farmer
would simply have to toil like a
slave and then get de^p^r and deep-
er in debt. Gradually however the
price of cotton began to rise and for
the last five years ea^h year it has
assumed a higher level of prices 'l'he
world seemed to begrudge this grow-
ing prosperity of the south and
fought vigorously every advance
Professional estimators >if the cot-
ton crop would each year inform j
the spinners of the United States
and Europe that the production of
cotton was enormous and in this
way the farmer was year after year
robbed nf hi> deserved earnings a:id
s ι great was this robbery bein^ per-
pretrated upon the farmers of the
south that the United States liov-
eminent was forced ;·· take hold of
the-natter. It will he remembered
that the false estimates of Neill
several years ago cost the farmers
of the south millions of dollars. He
succeeded bv his enormous esti- |
mates of the crops for a year or two '
In keeping the price of cotton down ι
below the · < » » t of »r (duetiou there- <
jy impoverishing tlie whole of this ι
Southern country but since the <
{ov» rumeut lias taken holu of the
natter ι t giving to the w>>rld the
initial condition of the cotton crop

•Injue have had to take a hack seat '

ing » jitstly earned reward for hi» t
abors and we of the South may j
low thank the good Maa'.er that ·
have lived t·· se·» this our beloT-
•d Southland pr >sperous unco again
before the w »r there was no section

)us than the South but since t it at t
war she has had a rocky time ami
low it seem· from aii I i-au gather
.hat for uianjr years to coin» we are
>ound to get good prices for our cot-
;on. However if our farmers of

cotton from boll weevil» or any
other eaaae sad will be oar condi-
tion again. I do hope oar EQi·
county farmera will not neglect the
feedstuff and then if aotton fail· we
will not be entirely left. In 1394
1900 and 1903 are the only crop· we
can look back to with pleasure when
we made money and therefore we
can hardly expect 1904 to come np
to the crop of 1903. Proeperou· years
like the one now winding: to a close
causes a great many farmers to for-
get the fact that Ellis county ever
had a failure and they plunge in at
full length stake all on another
cotton crop and if it fails which it is
very likely to do this year they are
hurt beyond what it will take them
several years to recover. Such men
as Jno. Wakeland and son· of the
Nash country who are as success-
ful cotton raisers as there are in
J Ellis fcounty last ee»son planted
some of the Georgia Hawkins early
cotton and so well pleased are they
with its early yield this yaar that
; they will plant nothing else but
! this Hawkins early seed and they
had no boll weevil last year either
and this year if the boll weevil does
come how necessary it will be to
have this early seed. Many other
farmers round near Waxahaehie
tried the early seed last year and
each and every man of them 1 know
of was pleased with the results.
There is no doubt ot the fact that
our seeds that Kllis county farmers
I have been planting for the last
twenty fivp years have deteriorated
and cannot possibly make the crops
! new and improved seed will and
each and every farmer In Ellis
county wiio raises cotton should try
a few of the improved seed this
! season.
New Corporation.
For some days there has been in
the business atmosphère of Cleburne
a slight breeze indicative of h
change of some moment in the Cle-
burne Light and Power Co. It was
I once reported that the former own-
ers Messrs. Oliger and Sticher
had sold out the entire property and
again that they had secured consid-
erable financial assistance and had
plane for many improvements.
A call at the company's office tiiis
morning developed the true state of
affairs and it is learned that a new
company composed of all the old
and about as many new stockholders
has been formed chartered and will
at once take over all the property
holdings and franchises of the con-
cern. The new corporation Is named
the Cleburne Oas and Electric Co.
and will control both the electric
light and power plant system and
the gas plant of the old Cleburne
Light and Power Company. It is
capitalize 1 at $100000 ami is com-
posed of the foil·»wing gentlemen:
J. I). Oliger S. C. Padelford and R.
B. Sticher of Cleburne; Oace Good-
win M. B. Templeton and J. J·'.
Strickland of Waxahachie and H.
Vickery of Fort Worth. Of these
Messsrs. Oliger Padelford and
Sticher are the original owners the
others being the new ones admitted
to the enlarged company. Mr. Hood-
win is a well known Waxahachie
banker Mr. Templeton a prominent
member of the Ellis county bar and
M t. Stricklandjis president of boih
the Waxahachie and Hlllsboro light
plants. Mr. Vickery is a Fort
Worth capitalist and reahy dealer
well known over the state. —Cle-
