Scott’s Emulsion, which U Cod

known to medical science.
It is*so easily digested that it sinks into

In electing men to represent
them in the next Legislature, the
the people of Texas should not
let the Bailey issue overshadow
questions of legislation for the
welfare of the State. It is time
that the political demagogue
should receive a black eye, and
men should be elected who can
represent not only the masses
but also who will not be enemies
to capital. This is a great State
and its development will be .seri-
ously hampered if every “sim-
lin” headed candidate is elected
to the Legislature, who howls at
capital indiscriminately. To be
a great Stat& we must have in-
dustries; to have industries we
must have capital to develop
them and railroads to carry the.
products of these industries to
the market. There are legitimate
corporations and they should be
protected. The Legislator with
his eye open to catch the vote
East Texas gets a great deal for re-election, without any just
of “cussing” and abuse, but it consideration of the rights of all
is a mighty good place to move concerned, is an enemy to Texas,
back to ap.d start life over, And, neither should corporation
lawyers or representatives be
elected to our Legislature. They
only represent their client.

K L. W.,’‘ at Butler, who has
so long aud faithfully aent the
news from his looality and always
been ready to sing the praises
of good old Freestone county, is
the victim^>f a malicious and un-
warranted attack in the column^
of a Haskell Co., paper, written
by its editor. The article is a
comment on a Small paragraph
that was published in the R&
cord eh, in the Butler locals, in
which “E. L. W.” stated that
the jiarties'Who sold out and left
the county had lost a lot upless
they had made a Iqt where they
had gone, etc. The article con-
tained no reflection upon any ope
or any section of country, but
the editor, in commenting on it,
uses nearly twocolumns of space
to villifying and slandering “E.
L. W.,” and East Texas. He
says that "E.'L. W.,” tries to
pose as a writer and cast slurs
on the West, altho’ the West
was not mentioned. He calls our
writer a liar, and says that our
people are afflicted with down-
right laziness. The attack is
unwarranted and ungentlemanly;
a lie, wrote by a liar, from start
to finish, and distance is the
cause of it as he knew he was
perfectly safe in slandering a
people when he was out of their
reach. * n
Badly Mixed Up.
Abraham Brown, of Winterton,
N. Y., had a very remarkable ex
perience; he says: “Doctors got
badly mixed up-over me; one said
he$rt disease;" two cabled it kid
ney trouble; the fourth blood poi
son, and the fifth stomach trou
ble; bnt none of them helped me;
so my wife advised trying Elec
trie bitters, which are restoring
me to perfect health. One bottle
did me more good than all the
five doctors prescribed. ” Guar
anteed for blood poison, weak
ness and all stomach, liver and
kidney complaints, by all drug
gists, 50c.
Next year in Texas politics
will be one long to be remem-
bered. Besides being Presi-
dential election year, the Bailey
question will be an issue that
will probably involve candidates
ires constable up, Mr. Bwiojf
made the statement that those’
who opposed him would be re-
tired, and buried face downward
in their political graves, and the
more they scratched the nearer
hell they would get.
The Texas farmer may not get
15c for the cotton he is holding.
But we bad rather stand by him
in bis effort and go down in-de-
feat with him than to discourage
or discredit his effort. His fight
is the fight of the South. This
is the alpha and omega of the
matter.—Waco Tribune.
State Press has always stmdi-
only avoided advising farmers
on *the subject of holding their
cotton, but, for the life . of him,
he can not see why they shoulcl
not get their price at this time.
The crop is short and the de-
mand great.—Dallas News.
DIVERSIFICATION.
The only thing that will make
the farmers of the South inde-
pendent is the diversification of
crops; or, rather, a diversifica-
tion of the pr^ucts of the farm,
which properly include the stock
as well as the things grown from
the soil. The farmer who de-
pends wholly upon cotton as a
crop from which the money to
maintain a famjly is to be de-
rived is tied hand and foot, be-
cause his family must have the
necessities of life, and the cotton
must be sold when it Is picked
out and .ginned, whether the
price suit&or not. More than
that, the. farmer who- depends
wholly upon cotton is nearly
always in debt to his merchant
or his banker, and while these
two business factors are always
ready to extend every courtesy
possible to the farmer, they can
not give unlimited time, hence the
farmer who ififin debt must, in
order to preserve his credit, sell
his cotton at a price fixed by the
speculator, in order to protect
those who have accommodated
him. The farmer who diversi-i
ties his labors,and his products,
and makes cotton his* surplus
crop can then join his fellow-
farmery in fixing a reasonable
and just price and refusing to
sell for less. Let us look to di
versification more in the future.
Wills Point Chronicle.
The experience of the farmers
within the last month must have
convinced them that there is no
safe policy in farming other than
in the diversification of crops.
Suppose the State of Texas had
been a one-crop State, as it was
ten years ago, and the moment
bad come, as it did com^ within
the last month, when money
could not be bad and people were
thereby deprived of credit? To
State Press it looks as if want
and distress would have result
ed. The man with the cotton
could not sell it because thefre
vfa.6 no money procurable to pay
for it. If all the farmers of Tex-
as had possessed cotton and
nothing else, they could not have
secured food for their families.
But, fortunately for the farming
element—and for that matter,
for every other element in the
State—diversification has been
practiced for a long time, and
when the close time came most
of them bad plenty at ..home to
live on. They may have needed
njoney, but they were not in dis
tress unless they were in debt.
They had their own meat, their
own egg, their own chickens,
their own corn, and everything
else which would sustain them
The lesson of the tight times of
of part of the month of October
and part of the month of Novem-
ber in the year 1907, ought to be
remembered by the farmers of
Texas as long as they live.
"They ought to tell their children
about it.—Dallas News.
King of All Cough Remedies.
Mr. E. G. Case, a mail carrier
of Canton Center, Conn., who
has bfeen in the U. S. service for
about 16 years, says: "We have
tried many cough medicines for
croup, but Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy is king of them . all and
one to be relied upon every time.
We also find it the best remedy
for coughs and colds, giving cer
tain results and leaving no bad
after effects.” For sale by John

There is not the least danger
in giving Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy to small children as it
contains no opium or other, harm

reputation of more than thirty
vears as the most successful
medicine in use for colds, croup
and whooping cough. It always
cures and is pleasant to take.

Wedding.
Editor Recorder:—I have
just returned from the country,
where I assisted Mr. J. M. John-
son, of Lanely, and Miss Sallie
Haskins, of Leon county, to get
married. The wedding took
place at the home of the bride’s
parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Has-
kins, near Boykip’s schoolhouse,
on Sunday, Nov. 24, at 2 p. tn.
A large crowd of relatives and
friends were present to witness
the blending of the two loving
hearts. Everything passed off
nicely and good wishes and hap-
py congratulations still abound.
By the way, a nice country
wedding is a sure thing. It takes
the cake. To the groom it is a
"new revelation, and to the bride
a happy translation.
