The seventh semi-annual meet
ins of the Northeast Texas Press
Association was held at Com-
merce last Friday. Quite a
number of' the brethren were in
attendance and the meeting was
a moat pleasant and profitable
one. Commerce has a live Board
of Trade and a progressive citi
senship, and they left nothing
undone that would contribute to
the pleasure and convenience of
their guests.
Upon the completion of the af-
ternoon’s program, an automo-
bile trip was made over the city,
terminating at the buildings of
the East Texas Normal, where a
musical program was rendered
by students.
In the evening autos carried
the visitors to the city park,
where they feasted on barbecued
chicken, fruits, ice cream, etc.
The newly elected officers of
the association are: President,
Sam Holloway (Times), Deport;
vice president, Sterling Hart
(Journal), Commerce; secretary-
treasurer, Joe M. Moore (News),
Lone Oak. Executive commit-
tee, H. P. Nelson (Banner),
Greenville; R. W. Fanning (Ga-
zette), 8ulphur Springs; O. G.
Campbell (Times-Review), Mount
Pleasant; R. C. May, (Graphic),
Leonard; Z. Starr Armstrong
(News), Gkrland.
A resolution was passed in-
dorsing Dallas for the 1916 Dem-
ocratic National Convention.
The only regretable feature of
the entire meeting was the mis
take made by the nominating
committee in its selection of a
new president.

Diseased Cotton.
Following the tropical storm
In July, a disease attacked cotton
in this section of the state.
Some thought salt spray was
blown from the Gulf and was
injuring the plant, others were
of the opinion it had been only
bruised by the winds. Dr.
Fredrick H. Bledgett of A. A M.
College says: —-
"This disease, which is now
appearing in serious abundance,
is due to a fungus which attacks
the bolls, stems, and leaves of
the cotton plant. It is most con-
spicuous upon the bolls, where
it forms distinct spots which are
at first dull red in appearance,
later becoming dark colored.
The discolored areas are usual-
ly depressed about the center
and sharply defined with a red-
ish margin, the depression be-
ing dark in color, or greyish,
due to the growth of the thread-
like strands of the fungus itself.
There is present in some cases a
bacterial boll disease which is
manifested by a watery appear-1
ance in spots or in irregular
patches over the surface without
the discolored boundaries of the
anthracnose spots.
"The anthracnose disease, in
serious cases, penetrates through
the walls of the bolls into the
seed. Diseased seeds are likely
to be the source of contamination
of a fresh crop, either directly
by growing with the plant until
the bollsLappear, or by destroy-
ing members of seedling plants,
which become the source of sup-
ply ol spores by which later the
bolls may be attacked.
“This disease, like others due
to fungi, starts originally from
spores. These spores retain
their vitality on fallen bolls in
the soil for at least twelve
months, consequently a field up-
on showing disease should not
not be replanted to cotton the
following season, but should be
used for corn, sorghum, or oth-
er crops as distinctly different
from cotton as possible.
J. E. Jones Arrested
A search warrant was gotten
out by the officers last Friday
and the place of J. E. Jones en
tered and searched. It Is said
that fifteen bottles of morphine,
a large quantity of brass, auto-
mobile tires, a saw filer, and a
combination of brass oil cups
were found in the place. Jones
was arrested in Paris Friday
and it is said that a bottle and a
half of morphine was found on
his person. He was turned over
to the Federal authorities. Two
casings and an inner tube found
in the lot were recognized by
City Marshal Dickson as proper-
ty belonging to him. Jones
claims that he purchased the
brass and tires as junk and old
rubber. _____________

Died Tuesday.
An old and most highly re
spected citizen passed away
Tuesday after a very brief ill-
ness. He had been a resident
of Deport for many years and
was loved by all who kn£w him.
He was a musician of more than
ordinary ability and even in his
declining years nothing pleased
him more than to get out with
his companions and serenade his
friends.
Tom B. Oliver loved his friends
and had no fear of an enemy.
In his younger days it is said
that he was a great traveler'and
made pilgrimages of a fort-
night’s duration to the neigh-
boring towns.
For the past f ur years, Tom,
as he was faroil rly called, made
his home at Baughn A Oliver’s
store, where mice never dared
to come, and should a dog ven-
ture into his palatial home it was
only a few seconds until bis can-
nine majesty placed his tail be
tween his legs and made for the
door at much greater speed than
when he entered.
If there is a cat heaven we are
sure Old Tom is among those in
the better world, taking life as
philosophical as he did while
among os.
