It is foared from tho quantity of land
marked off for cotton the farmers will loso
sight of tho wholesome advice contained in
Tub News of the 16th in an article headed
'•Stakes His All on Cotton." The News re-
porter has heard farmers speaking of the
articlo, and they all udmit the truth therein
contained, and if adopted as suggested by The
News, to diversify their crops and plant less
cotton and moro of everything to eat, it would
result groatly to thoir benefit. Yet it is fearod
they will "take the bit in their teeth" and fail
to practice what they preach, and what they
know would result in fair prices for what cot-
ton they do make.

confer with the Western freight association
rogarding a conflict likely to arise from the
extonsion of territory proposed and endeavor
to arrange an amicable settlement.
Tho conference then dissolved and will not
meet again until the committee is ready to
report.
After this action the Southwestern railway
and steamship rate committee assembled and
began the consideration of routine matters.
Southwestern Railways.
St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 24.—Representatives
of the various lines interested in the reorgani-
zation of the old Southwestern railway and
steamship association, or the formation of a
new one, aro gathoring here, and the prospects
are in favor of a very fully attended meeting
to-morrow.
Not only will tho strictly southwestern lines
be represented, but one of the pians proposed
for tho new organization is bringing in rail-
road mon interested in contiguous territory.
This plan is ono which proposes an extension
of the territory of the old association, to be
bounded on tho north and east by the Mis-
souri and Mississippi. If this plan is accepted
there will bo twenty or more lines included in
place of tho old dozen or so.
That the Chicago and Alton is interested in
this is indicated by tho prosonco of General
Managor Chappeil.
A Road From Rusk.
Palestine, Tex., Jan. 25.—The citizens
hero are just a little excited over tho informa-
tion that tho penitentiary board has decided
to build a railroad from Husk to some point
on the International and Groat Northern, re-
port says to Earle's switch, fifteen miles north
of Palestine. But information comes that this
city can got the junction if it will "put up"
certain donations in the way of right ot way
and depot grounds. Business men aro mak-
ing tho endeavor to organize for the purpose
of securing tho road, and thoy think with a
vory reasonable assurauoo of success.
Dinner to All*. Robinson.
San Antonio Express, January 24.
Tho general olllcers of tho San Antonio aud
Aiansas i'ass railroad tendered D. B. Robin-
son, their rotiring president, a splendid dinner
last night at tho Monger hotel. The event was
a befitting conipllmoutand mark of respect to
Mr. Robinson by his associates in this city
and was thoroughly enjoyed by all present.
It was 0.30 o'clock when the doors of the
spacious bunuuot room woro thrown open and
the guests and officials took thoir places. Tho
invited giiuHts present wore:'
D. B. Robinson, Charles Hugo, John A.
Frasor, H. B. Andrews, W. C. Kobards, B. F.
Yoakum, Albert Maverick, J. W, Terry, F. A.
Fulwiicr. S. M. Johnson und H. Cunningham.
The following general officers of the road
wero presout: Charles B. 1 'eck, C. B. Dor-
sum, \v. H# Field, L.J. Polk, BNpD
ton, A. VV. Houston, W. G. Nevins, F. E. Nel-
son, G. A. Hancock, William Berry, It. W.
Andrews, J. W. Armstrong, A. J. Davidsou,
Charles VS agnorund P. Goodwin.
The Hon. A. W. Houston acted as toastinas-
t« r and when tho menu had boon followed
down to tho wine ho arose and said:
'This occasion is intended as a slight testi-
monial of tho personal esteem in which tho
retiring president of tho San Antonio and
Aransas Pass railway company is held by
thoso who have acted as his staff during tho
short time in which ho has so successfully
managed the affairs of the company.
'I voice a unanimous sentiment when I say
that ho will carry with him to any other Hold
of labor to which ho may be called the warm-
est feelings of personal friendship and tho
best wishes for his personal and business pros-
fierity and happiness of all who havo had the
ionor to bo associated with him during his
sojourn in Texas. Of the fact that Texas i
loses by his departure a valued citizen and
tho property ho has beou connected with an
able president and most capable maunger
thoro can be no doubt. It is fitting then that
tho first sentiment of tho evening should bo
first:
"Long life and happiness filled to the brim
with business prospority to our honored pres-
ident, D. B. Robinson. May the good things
of this life be his."
In response D. B. Robinson mado a most
appropriate talk. Ho expressed his gratitude
toward those assembled for tho honor tendered
him, and complimented tho general officers of
tho Aransas Pass in the highest terms. Ho
also spoke of the prospective severance of his
official connection with tine road, and stated
that ho would always look back with pleasure
upon his term of service here.
Tho second toast was: "The relations of
railroads to tho commercial and business in
terosts of tho community," tho response being
made by Charles Hugo.
Tho third toast was: 'The relations of an
ice farmer of Dakota to railway management
in the genial climate of Texas," the responso
being mado by Charles B. Peck, who mado a
most oxeollont talk filled with humor. Tho
text of tho toast was drawn from tho fact that
Mr. Peek had had considerable experience in
tho agricultural industry, his extensive wheat
farm being located in Dakota.
Tho fourth toast was: "We married men
must stand together. Banks and railroads aro
not an unmixed evil in building up the pros-
pority ot our country." John A. Frasor mado
the response to the above. His talk was inter-
esting throughout.
The fifth toast was: "How the expenses of
the honeymoon figure in railway accounts,"
C. D. Doman making the response. Ho was
unprepared, but mot tho difficult situation
with a brave front and entortainod tho party
exceedingly well, although he did not stick to
his text very closely.
The sixth toast was: "May tho treasurer
aud tho treasury always bo full," tho rosponso
by W. H. Field.
The seventh toast was: "Railways past and
present," H. B. Andrews making the response.
Colonel Andrews handled his subject in an
interesting manner. He had interesting ex-
periences in the earlier days of railroading,
souio of which ho related in his inimitable
style.
The eighth toast was: "What I have learned
about cotton and cotton compresses whilo
acting as assistant genoral froight agont for
tho railroads in Texas." The responso was
nmdo by W. C. Robards, who, being thor-
oughly familiar with his subject, mado a most
interesting talk.
The ninth toast was: "What I don't know
and prefer not to loarn about railway receiv-
erships," B. F. Yoakum making the response.
As the subject of tho toast would suggost, the
field embraced in Mr. Yoakum's responso was
of an amusing nature. It was ably covered by
the speaker.
L. J. Polk responded to the tenth toast
which was as follows: "The regrets of a rail-
way froight agont on tho passing of tho rail-
road commission and his experiences with
Traffic Manager Jack.'" If there is any-
thing of which Mr. Polk has a more thorough
acquaintance, more than any other, it is the
Texas railway commission, and he handled his
text in an able and entertaining style, his talk
being filled with humor and bright hits.
The eleventh and last toast was: "The
tariff on ducks as shot from a special car,"
lleagan Houston making the responso. This
referred to Mr. Houston's lato hunting expe-
dition to the coast country, and the speaker
gavo his opinion of tho so-called tariff in a
logical and eloquent manner.
The music for the occasion was furnished
by the Sociodad FilarmoncaMoxicana, Carlos
Ayula being tho leador.
It was a late hour when the assemblage ad-
journed.
