The new cotton ginning
was enforced for the first time
at Yorktown one day last week
when the first load of cotton was
brought to a Yorktown gin.
The cotton was partly green and
on account of the provisions in
the new warehouse and market-
ing law regulating the ginning of
damp cotton, the .ginners refus-
ed to gin it.
Washington, July 2'3.-—Exports
of American agricultural imple-
ments during the fiscal year 1915
totalled - approximately $10,000, -
000, as against $40,600,000 in the
high record year, 1913! $21, 000,-
000 in 1903 and a yearly average
of more than $29,000,000 for the
last decade. This loss of trade
fell most heavily upon sales to
Eur'bpe, but there were also
smaller though significant de-
creases in shipments to Argen-
tina, Canada and various coun-
tries of Africa and other sections
of the world.
Cuba and Siberia made gains.
Australia barely held its own in
the year’s trade, but this is a
good showing in view of the fact
that
from
.shels in 1913 to
shels last year.
The European war was doubt-
less the dominant factor in the
great falling off in exports of agri-
cultural implements, since the
decrease in sales to Europe was
disproportionate to that in sales
to other sections Thus exports
of agricultural implements to Eu-
ropean Russia, usually the great-
est of foreign markets for this
class of American manufactures,
practically ceased, as did also
those to Germany, while huge
losses likewise occurred in sales
France and other European coun-
tries. Another contributory fac-
tor was the recent establishment
of great plants in Russia and
France, financed and controlled
by American capital, for the man-
ufacture of farming machinery.
Information reaching the de-
partment of commerce, however,
indicates a growing use of ma-
chinery on farms both in Europe
and elsewhere, a tendency which
will doubtless be even moi-e pro-
nounced upon the resumption of
peace, since the devastation of
war is causing a marked shortage
in human and animal labor, ne-
cessitating proportionately more
machinery for the successful con-
duct of farming. Russia for ex-
ample, possesses one-seventh of
the entire area of the world and
an even greater proportion of the
land devoted to cereal crops,
which require for their cultiva-
1 tion more machinery than most
! other classes of farm products.
General depression in Canada,
; Argentina and elsewhere so re-
I duced buying power in 1914-15
. that new agricultural machinery
has not been purchased in the
usual quantities, but with a res-
toration of normal conditions
American manufacturers will
doubtless- find larger markets
than ever Before.
A letter from Robert F. Miller,
dated July 23rd, states that his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. B..
Miller, and sister, Miss Dessie,
are on their homeward journey,
having boarded the train the
night before at Sacramento, for
Salt Lake City, Denver, Colorado
Springs, etc. After taking in
the sights at these places they
will head directly for New Ulm.
In part he writes as follows:
“After spending five days at the
Exposition they stayed with us
a week in the great “City of
Davis.” They enjoyed the trip
very much, but I assure you
they will be glad to get back to
good old Austin County. Among
other luxuries
while here, the Enterprise was
always a most welcome guest.
Hearst’s Dailies do not compare
with the little paper that brings

Mr. W. J. Fredrich, post-
master and general merchant at
San Felipe, on the 11th of July
had been in business in that
place twenty-four years.
11th being on Sunday the cele-
bration of the anniversary was
postponed until Saturday the
17th. On that date Mr. Fredrich
kept “open house” at his store
to all patrons and friends, serv-
ing ice cream cones to all comers
during the entire day. It prov-
ed to be quite a gala event in the
old historic town, the number of
people there during the day
being estimated at about 500.—

Tyler, Tex., July 23.—The fol-
lowing notice addressed to gin-
ners of Texas, has been sent out
by Dabney White, secretary of
the Texas Ginners’ association:
“Two thousand ginners as-
sembled at Dallas at the state
convention and about 500 ginners
at Waco representing the Central
Texas ginners have instructed
me unanimously to test the con-
stitutionality of that part of the
warehouse law requiring the
ginners to take samples. It has
been proven that the samples
that we will be required to take
under this law will cost the gin-
ners of Texas 250 a bale, or
$1,000,000 on the crop of this
year. In addition to this cost,
it will require 4,000,000 pounds
of cotton to be taken from the
farmers. This amounts to 18,
000 bales of cotton, for which
the farmers will not receive a
cent from any one
“We are able to prove that
these samples will not be a true
and correct sample of the bale of
cotton, as they will show a grade
lower than the .cotton that *is
usually cut from the bale after it
is pressed. We feel it our duty
to protect against this enormous
loss when no good follows it, and
I am notifying you that I will
make the test of this require-
ment on the first bale of cotton
that I gin this year. L, am ad-
vising you to comply with this
law in all particulars and I pro-
pose to be the only ginner to
refuse to take samples when the
farmer requests me not to take
them. It will cost a good deal of
money to contest this law, and
all ginners who have not sent in
this assessment are requested to
do so at once, as we propose to
save this $1,400,000 to ourselves
and our customers, if possible.
“DABNEY WHITE,
“Secretary T. G. A.
“Tyler, Texas.”
In round numbers there were
22,000,000 persons enrolled in
educational institutions in* the
United States in 1914, according
to the Annual Report of the
Commissioner of Education just
issued. Of these over 19,000,000
were in elementary schools; <
1,374,000 in secondary schools, :
both public and private; and
216,000 in ,colleges and univer- <
sities. Close to another hundred
thousand were in normal schools 1
preparing to be teachers, 67,000
were in professional schools, and
the remainder were scattered
through other types of institu-
tions. The teachers for . this
educational army numbered 700,-
000, of whom 566,000 were in
public schools. In point of rapid
growth the public high school
still presents the most impres-
ive figures; the enrollment for
1914 is greater by over 84,000
than for the year before.
The cost of education for the
year, as estimated by the Bureau,
was $750,000,000. “This three '
quarters of a billion is a relative-
ly small amount when compared
with other items in the public
expense,” declares the report.
“It is less by $300,000,000 than
the cost of running the Federal
Government; it is less than one-
third the Nation’s expenditure
for alcoholic liquors; it is only a
little over three times the esti-
mated cost of admissions to
moving-picture theaters in the
United Utates for the same year.
Measured in terms of products
of the soil, the United States
spent somewhat more for edu-
cation in 1914 than the value of
its cotton crop, somewhat less
than the value of its wheat crop,
and less than halt the value of
the annual harvest of .corn; while
the Nation’s bill for education
was less by nearly a hundred
millions than the value of the
exports from the harbor of New
York in the calendar year just
passed.”
Very little increase is yet to be
noted in the average term for
public schools. Between 1910
and 1913 the increase was from
157.5 days a year to 158.1—a
growth of only six tenths of a
day in three years., Attendance
has improved, however, the
average number of days attended
by each person enrolled increas-
ed from 113*Tn 1910 to 115.6 in
1913. ** i

Brenham, Texas, July 22.—
Ike Williams, a deaf and dumb
negro, who can neither read nor
write, not only acted as bis own
attorney but won his case yester-
day in the county court. He was
charged with carrying a pistol.
.Williams couldn’t utter a word
nor could anyone communicate
with him except by sign. When
Judge Ewing called his case, Ike
stepped forward and in “elo-
quent” silence held the butt end
of a quirt half concealed in the
folds of his coat. He took
look at the J udge. “Dimissed”

Ed Moore visited relatives

Misses Della Koch and Mamie
Fordtran, and Messrs Ben Ford-
trau and Edwin Schmid, spent
Friday afternoon in Brenham,
making the trip in the latter’s
car.

What happened to the proud
and boastful team of Sealy last
Sunday on the local diamond was
a plenty and then spme. At the
end of the first half of the ninth
the score was 10 to 1 in New
Ulm’s favor. Sealy’s lone score
was a home run, on errors, by
Rudloff. Dickerson failed to geb
under it, his glove just touching
the ball. He threw wild to home,
after running the ball down, and
Rudloff registered at the plate
That was the only time Sealy
even got a look at the counting
station. New Ulm’s victory was
due to the effectiveness of
mann’s pitching and the
edged support accorded
