Remember, it is the wise man who will thoughtfully and thoroughly investi-
gate every opportuny to better his condition. It is the successful man who, after
maturing his judgment, has the courage of his conviction to act. In this aggres-
sive age, there is no place for the sluggard, the vacillating or the uselessly timid.
Optimism moves the world. The pessimist, wanting faith to shake the tree,

Senator Bailey is reputed to have

he gave ten thousand dollars. He will
locate him on his stock farm near Lex-

A fourteen-year-old Lamar county
boy already gathered five bales of cot-

from him later on.
A farmer in the Jacksonville coun-
try has sold 2,300 bales of Bermuda

he secures the next cutting he will
have made an everage per acre of
$100 for his crop this season.
A fine rain fell Monday morning
and cooled the air, a very agreeable
contrast to the hot, sulrty days we
have been having. This ought to
make everybody feel better, and in-
cidentally brace up everything.
Hundreds of squirrels are being kill-
ed in the Arbuckle Mountains in Ok-
lahoma. The appearance of such
great numbers of these rodents are
taken to mean an excessive and hard
winter. Such is the prediction of the
old-time resident citizens of the moun-
tains.
An eccentric character, one Doc
Walker, has been going around Dallas
carrying an old suit-case with fifty-six
thousand dollars in cash, and seems
to take pride in making public his
rare possessions. We should think this
quite a perilous stunt to be pulling off
in Dallas.
Dr. Braswell of Fort Worth, who it
appears is keeping in touch of the pos-
sibilities of candidates for the United
States Senate, is of the opinion that
Clarence Ousley of Fort Worth will
be in the contest in a few days. This
may make more complicated the pres-
ent status of the Senatorial slate, and
we will have three antis to two pros.
In referring to the candidacy of Mr.
Alexander of Waco for the United
States Senate, the Hall County Her-
ald says, there is always a joke can-
didate in every race for a big state
office, and suggests, there was a time
when the joker came near winning
out; for instance, when a certain
blacksmith came near putting our
Uncle Thomas oiut of a job. However,
we hardly think Mr. Alexanders’ run-
ning will' seriously affect the candi-
dates now offering. ,
Col. C. «. Randell bearded the lion
in his den for the Sena tors hip early,
at a time when Senator Bailey was a
self-pronounced candidate to succeed
himself. It was" suggested that Mr.
Randell was premature in his an-
nouncement. Months passed by and
no farther New Richmond appeared
to take up the gauntlet of this political
Napoleon of Texas. Since the an-
nouncement of Mr. ^Bailey's re ti rai-
ment, four new candidates have tak-
en courage and entered the contest.
Question: Would they have done so,
had he remained in the field? ’
The decline in the price of cotton
is alarming and is affecting serious-
ly the producers. In the past the
agricultural craft have sought meth-
ods to atop the decline of the staple,
but their efforts seem to have had uq
permanent effect. They have contend-
ed for a reduction in acreage, bat
this has never succeeded to any af-
feciable extent, aa when planting time
comes every man believing this a free
country goes right ahead and plants
to the limit, and if a good season
follows the crop is large and the price
of necessity correspondingly low and
unprofitable. If there be anything in

the law of supply and demand, it fol-
lows that a heavy crop means a low
price, and a short one more profitable
returns. Our advanced men in cotton
science have often suggested that the
producer market his cotton slowly and
at stated intervals, thus averting the
idea that a great crop is being made.
Doubtless when the farmers awake
to a full realization of their situation
they will act in concert on some plan
permanent and effective to put their
product on a paying basis. It is said,
there is always a way where there is
a will, and we believe in this doctrine.
Suppose the producers were to hold
their cotton and refuse to sell at pres-
ent prices and stand on this, quit
hauling their cotton to town or
making any effort to sell. Hettie
Green, one of the greatest fi-
nanciers of the times, says: “If you
would succeed, you must deal in a
necessity.” Cotton is the world’s
greatest need—make the supply short
and the price will take care of itself.
All great reform movements looking
to the welfare and advancement of
morals, finances and good govern-
ment have had their initial start—
f
sometimes they were crude and im-
perfect, but then it was a start for
something, • and later on devel-
oped into something material and sub-
stantial. The idea suggested by Gov-
ernor Colquitt and concurred in, that
the governors of the cotton growing
states meet in New Orleans on the
23 rd to formulate plans looking to
holding up the price of our greatest
staple, is a good one, though, just what
the executives can do in this matter
is problematical. However, the effort
may give birth to something that may
work out tne problem.
Justice John Harlan of the Supreme
Court of the United States passed
away at his home in Washington at
an early hour Sunday morning. Jus-
tice Harlan was long accredited one
of the greatest constitutional author-
ities of time, and after a long and
faithful service of nearly thirty-four
years has lain down his work. His
last words were, “Good-bye, I’m sorry
I kept you waiting so long.”
Cal P. Rodgers, the ocean to ocean
air bird, now en route from New York
to San Francisco, made a terrific
flight from Fort Worth to Dallas Wed-
nesday, alighting with ease and safety
on the Fair grounds at 12:52 p. m.,
his average speed from Fort Worth to
Dallas being more than a mile a min-
ute.
Two hundred delegates from thirty
states, representing the progressive
wing of the Republican party, have de-
clared for Robert Marion Lafollette
a candidate for the presidency. This
means that William H. Taft has an
opponent that is worth the while.
A Lampasas man has been given a
fine of $6,000 and a term of ninety
days in the county jail for violation of
the local option law—a very expen-
sive way of exercising his personal
liberty.
The women of California will now
be allowed to vote. Their first as-

DUPLICATE OF 1861.
Francis I. Williams, one of the old
residents of Paris and Lamar county,
says that as a dry, hot year this year
Is a duplicate of 1861. It has eeen
intensely warm eyer since the last of
April with scarcely a cold day or night
and Foster says that the month of
October will be unusually warm. Mr.
Williams says that in 1861 the heat
and the dry weather lasted up to No-
vember He says that the long drouth
caused cracks to appear in the
ground so wide that when a person
riding horseback along the road came
to them the horse had to make a jump
to get across. Mr. Williams says that
George Wright, who owned a farm just
below the present site of Evergreen
cemetery, had a yearling colt to fall
in a crack in the ground, and that
some men had to get a rope and tie
it around Its body to pull it out-

AT THE COURT HOUSE.
Mr. McCormack, Vice-President of
the Farmers’ Unibn, made an address
to the farmers on Wednesday evening
on the matter ox the depressed situa-
tion of the cotton market. He pre-
sented some good advice and insisted
the farmer himself was largely re-
sponsible for the decline in the price
of cotton, by persisting in putting it
on the market so rapidly. He advised
holding cotton for thirty or ninety
days and thought the necessity did
not exist to sell at a price below the
cost of production; that those who
tiiought they were honor bound to
sell to meet advances from merchants
and bankers need not do so, as these
co-helpers in his struggle to make the
staple would give him extension anc
aid. He hoped such would confer
with their merchants and bankers ant
put themselves in a satisfactory condi-
tion to hold their cotton for a better
price.
He recommended the storing of cot-
ton in warehouses or at home, and dis-
continue selling for a time. The old
method of penning cotton was a good
one; it made a better Bample, produc
ing more and bettfer lint and the seed
ginned cleaner. He believed the pro-
ducers over the cottoA states could
solve the matter of price themselves
if they would unite and proceed in an
organized and systematic Way.
B. F. Sheppard and others made ap-
propriate talks, touching the proceed-
ure of handling cotton lor the market.
The agitation is on, and it is to be
hoped the farmers will never let up
until they formulate a plan that will
bring the desired relief. The produc-
ers are the sole creators and copy-
righted of the great Southern staple
and to them should come the full
award of a legitimate and profitable
return.

NO MORE RA68 AT PRESENT.
We had a little notice in last week’s
paper, asking our readers to bring us
their old rags at 5c a pound, and it
has almost been raining rags around
the office ever since.
We use the rags in wiping up and
cleaning our presses, and we use a
great many, , but wo have secured a
supply sufficient to last us quite
awhile, and. are not in the market for
more at present We thank those whe
were kind enough to supply us so
promptly and will advertise again
when our supply runs low.

THE SECOND TEMPLE’S FOUNDA-
TION
Ezra iii, 1-4; 5—Oct. 22
*Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and
intv His courts with praise.’’—Psalm 0, 4.
JMTHE journey from Babylon to Je-
ff rusalem required about five
months. Ezra with his small-
er company subsequently made
the journey in four months. We can
well imagine the enthusiasm of this
company of captives of all the tribes,
people of all ages. A few of the very
aged remembered having seen the land
and the city in their childhood.
Arrived at their destination they
found terrible dilapidation. The crum-
bling hand of time had cooperated with
the destructive fires of Nebuchadnes-
zar’s army, seventy years previous.
To live in the city was scarcely prac-
ticable. The peo-
ple scattered in
the country round
about for a dis-
tance of twenty
miles. First, at-
tention was prop-
erly paid to mak-
ing themselves
comfortable, pre-
paring dwellings,

“J ^ Altar on Mount MorlaM.
But shortly after.
the religious sentiment stirred them to
prepare for offering formal worship to
the God whose favored people they
were delighted again to be.
First, the altar was built on the
height of Mount Moriah, supposedly
the very spot where Abraham offered
his son Isaac—-the very spot which was
made the site of the altar in. Solomon’s
temple. Divine worship began, and
the Feast of Tabernacles was observed
in the seventh month. By the next
spring they felt ready to begin the re-
construction of the temple,
The news of the return of the people
and of their start to rebuild the tem-
ple of the Lord spread amongst the
people of the land who, in some, re-
spects at least, had been recognised
as Israel’s enemies. Now, however,
they desired to join hands and become
participators in the building of the
new temple.
However, this kind invitation was
refused with the answer. “Ye have
nothing to do with ns, to build s
house unto our God; bat
selves, will build it unto the Lord, the
God of Israel, as king Citrus, the "

of Persia, hath commanded os.”
Vlfaa ths Proper Course Taken f
Many have said that the Jews in
this matter showed themselves esc-
row-minded end bigoted; that they
should have been glad to have the as-
sistance end the co-operation of their
neighbor^ in the building of the tem-
ple. and in all the arrangements for
God’s worship—they should have had
the missionary spirit.
Not so. we reply. Their course was
the only proper one when we under-
stand the terms and conditions under
which God wa6 dealing with Israel.
It was not th©ir commission to make
Israelites out of all nations; they, as
one nation, had been elected or select-
ed by God to establish and to offer the
sacrifices and worship which God had
ordained through Moses. They were
not at liberty to change or amend the
Divine proposition and to bring others
into the “elect” nation. There was
indeed a method by which outsiders,
non-Israelites, might become Israelites
—by becoming proselytes of the gate;
but In no other than in such an ojien,
public renouncement of their wills and
by devotion to Jehovah.
The Jews are still following the Di-
vine arrangement for them In keeping
aloof from other religions and by re-
fraining from in-
ter-marriage with
other peoples.
God has thus pre-
served that nation
separate from
all others, a n d
He tells us why.
For them He has
a great place In
the Divine pro-
gram. They are
again to become
God’s people,
God’s representa-
tives in the earth, after the Elect
Church shall have been completed and
glorified on the "heavenly plane.
Spiritual Israel’s Policy
The same policy should be observed
by Spiritual Israel—“The Temple of
God is holy, which Temple ye are,”
No outside, unconsecrated stones are
wanted in this Temple. Let the world
build Its own. God permits His con-
secrated ones to be associated with
Himself in the building of this Tem-
ple; as St. Jnde declares, the saints,
under the guidance of the Holy Spirit,
are to “build one anotheP up in the
most holy faith” (Jude 20). There Is
absolutely no place for worldly work-
ers In conjunction with this great
work of God now in progress.
The Lord’s consecrated people are in
training for a throne. Our Father is
the Great King and He has promised
that The Christ shall sit upon His
throne, and we have been Invited to
become parts of The Christ, the
Anointed. The Messiah. Shall we
wonder that we need training for this
Important position? Shall we be sur-
prised if disciplines are imposed and
requirements made of os more then ’
are imposed upon those not Intended
for this high position! >
