R. F. CATES, - Editor rind Proprietor.
FRIDAY. AUGUST 16, 1907.
In this age if you do not push,
somebody -will push you.
Let no hiatus come in the 5000
Club of Bartlett. Push and pull
will accomplish much good for all.
Some one has said: "You can
not have good society- with bad
men, but you can have , bad so-
ciety with good men if they fail
in their social obligatons."
Don't stop and listen to every
fice that barks at you. They are
harmless; so don'tworry. There
are some of the little things in
Bartlett. Perhaps you have been
snapped by one.
The fathers shall not be put
to death for children, neither
shall the children be put to death
for the fathers; every man shall
be put to death for his own sin.
Deuteronomy 24:16.
The 5000 Club can do great
work for Bartlett and community
if it has the undivided support of
all, and this support must come
in the way of wokk and money.
Decide what you are going to do
and get busy if you are in sym-
pathy with the movement.
The Bell County Weekly Dem-
ocrat, which has been published
under lease by John S. Dunn at
' Beltdn during the last yeai, has
reverted to the management of
layor Df E, Patterson by virtue
kf fsvrtirntinn of the lease and
flatter lws resumed active
yL Mr. Dunn will doubtless
in'the newspaper business
tOt frier ioint, although he
t announced hia plans.
The business men of Pans,
subscribed to a fund of $1,000 to
be paid in premiums to farmers
who should bring in the largest
number of punctured squares as
a means of destroying the boll
weevils and as an encourage-
ment to farmers to adopt the
method of gathering and burning
the squares. The prizes are to
be awarded every Saturday for
the next four weeks. The first
award was made Saturday after-
noon. After the squares had
been weighed and the premiums
paid the prize-winners, about 600
pounds of punctured squares
were piled in the middle of the
plaza, ten gallons of coal oil was
poured on them and a match ap-
plied. Many squares contained
weevils that)had already hatched
and were ready to crawl out.
They could be seen crawling out
on the ground when the match
was applied. This is certainly a
good scheme to rid the cotton of
the pest catching thdni and
burning them.
Favorable reports continue to
come in regarding the condition
and probable yield of the cotton
crop in Bell county, although
from some localities the outlook
is not very good. The greatest
danger to the crop that was feared
this year was the boll weevil on
account of lateness in planting
but the unexpected intense hot
weather during July virtually an-
nihilated the pest.
With the proper spirit- of lib-
erality manifested and all selfish-
ness eliminated on the part of
the citizens of Bartlett the pros
pects are indeed flattering for a
greater and grander town. Let
the good york commenced by
the 5000 club continue. Let all
elfish motives -be done away
with and fill work for the general
good of the town.
Missionary Has Appendicitis
Temple, Texas, -Aug. 12. Rev.
W. L. Whitley of this city, mis
sionary of the Salado Baptist As
sociation, was taken suddenly ill
yesterday without warning and
his case pronounced to be appen
dicitis in an aggravated form
which necessitated an immediate
operation. The same was per
formed as promptly as possible
ane hopes are now entertained of
the patient's recovery.
Institute Meeting.
A meeting of the Williamson
County Farmers Institute under
the diretion of the .executive
conimittee is called to meet at
the courthouse in Georgetown on
Monday, August 26, at 1.30lp. m.
All interested are notified to at
tend.
The thirtieth letefolaturotMiByed
w a law creating a buranu of cotton
statistics in tne department oi
agriculture. The object of the
; bureau is directly to benefit the
cotton grower by furnishing him
accurate information in regard
to the conditioflboftho Itycas cot-
ton crop during, the- period when
this crop is actually being mar-
keted. The facttliat Texas pro-
duces one-third of the entire cot-
ton crop of the United States
will at once show the grea't im-
portance to the cotton grower of
the information to be furnished
by this bureau. This informa-
tion is to be based upon actual-
figures, whose correctness .is
sworn to; there is to be no guess-
work or estimating about any
part of it. The plan devised for
the collection of these statistics
is as follows: Each public cotton
ginner is required by law to ap-
pear before the county clerk of
the county in which his gin is lo-
cated and to obtain from" the
clerk a certificate (freeB)f cost)
showing that he has taken the
oath prescribed by the law. The
oath provides that the ginner
shall make correct reports to the
commissioner of agriculture.
The county clerks are to send to
the commission of agriculture
the certificate number, name and
postofflce address of the ginners
that qualify. The commissioner
of agriculture shall send to each
ginner blanks and envelopes for
the official cotton reports, The
ginners shall make their reports
between the 1st and 3d of each
month. On the 8th of each
month the commissioner of agri-
culture shall open these reports
and complete them in the pres
ence of three witnesses appoint
ed by tne governor tor tnis par
ticular purpose. The result shall
be published at 11 o'clock a. m.
on the 9th of each month.
It will be seen that the success
of this plan depends in a very
large measure upon the prompt
action of the ginners in qualify-
ing as the law directs. The im-
portance of complete and accur-
ate reports will be appreciated
by all. As the law places a se-
vere penalty upon ginners who
fail to comply with its provisions,
it is hoped that general pulicity
will be given to the subject. Be-
tween 4000 and 5000 ginners
must be reached by August 25.
Prohibition, Past ond Present.
The government is having
troubles of its own in trying to
keep undesirable immigrants
from crossing-the Rio Grande in-
to Texas. A few days ago seven
Japs who had stolen a march on
the river patrol were captured
in a famishing condition near
Del Rio. "An Italian musician
who had been turned back from
New York on account of having
an incurable scalp disease, made
his way to Mexico, crossed over
into ElPaso last Monday, was
immediately arrested and placed
in jail where he attempted sui-
cide. Wednesday morning of
last week, eleven Chinamen, all
stowed in a hack which had just
arrived with its cargo, were ar-
rested and are now in jail and
will be deportedv By this arrest
tne government inspectors nave
discovered that there are parties
in ElPaso who make it a business
to smuggle Japs and Chinks
across the river, These will be
prosecuted and punished.

All things' may change, -, but
od old honesty the real article
will never change.
A PISPATCH saysiit is very dry
in Korr county, andmany springs
that have never been known to
go dry have quit running. The
Gaudalupe river at that point ie
lower than it hno sever been
known.
The experiment of prohibition
in-Georgia will be watched with
interest when the new law goes
into effect next January. It will
then be seen whether it is easier
to enforce State prohibition in
the South than it has been in the
East or in the West. '
Maine has had a prohibitory
law in force for a great many
years, but.it is a well known fact
that as much liquor is drunk in
the capital City of that State and
as openly as in any other city of
equal population in the Union.
Kansas has a strict prohibition
law, but Carrie Nation found
plenty of saloons in the State to
operate on when she was con-
ducting a crusade with her little
hatchet, and they are said to be
still plentiful in the larger towns
and cities despite Governor
Hick's recent assertion that the
law is being enforced. North
Dakota is still trying to enforce
prohibition, but Massachusetts,
Vermont, Rhode Island and Iowa
abondonec it after an ineffectual
trial.
Local option has made great
strides in most Southern States
and is generally considered to be
preferable to State prohibition in-
asmuch as it takes local senti-
ment into accounts but, where
there is laxity in the enforcement
of the'Jaws regulatingthe liquor
traffic there is a growing prohi-
tion sentiment that must bo reck-
oned with if regulation fails to
cure the evils complained of.
Many porBons have believed
that the liquor law in Texas is
the best antidote for . prohibition
that could bo found if it-, ahull
meet the,' expectation' of its
farmers and of thoso who desire
eflfectivo regulation of the liquor
traffic rather than ite prohibi-
tion. San Antonio EJcpreas,
