bera of the board, were present
as well as James E. Ferguson.
Members of the board took
the attitude that the fixing of
the apportionment at $11.50
was automatic, as the available
school fund would not permit
a higher figure.
Throughout the first primary
campaign, Mr. Ferguson, speak-
in gfor Governor Ferguson, de-
clared the administration in fa-
vor of a $15 apportionment.
COTTON SUPPLY IS 17,933,406
BALES
Washington, Aug. 14.— The
aggregate supply of cotton in
the United States for the cotton
year which ended July 31 was
announced today by the census
bureau as 17,933,406 bales and
the aggregate distribution 18,-
096,603 bales.
The carryover on July 31, 19-
26, was 2, 543,183 bales. The
excess of distribution over the
supply, 153,197 bales was due
principally to the inclusion of
the "city crop” which consists
of rebaled samples and pickings
from cotton damaged by fire
and weather.
The supply of cotton for the
year was made up as follows:
On hand, August 1, 1925, to-
tal 1,609,848 bales, of which
865,842 were in consuming es-
tablishments. 514,006 in public
storaeg and at compresses and
230,000 (partially) estimated lo-
cated elsewhere.
Net reports (being total im-
ports less re-exports,) 314,925
bales.

THE GOVERNOR RISES TO
HEIGHTS OF SOPHISTRY
Amazement and contempt
must strive for mastery in the
minds of Texas citizens as they
read the puerile alibi offered in
the name of Governor Miram A.

test covenant with the people, congregation was present Sun-
The assortment of drivel offer- day night, when before the ser-
ed the public in explanation of mon had begun, several came zzurucssen wows use ann .ue .un
Ferguson’s determination to for prayers, and several back- off, but It now seems that the
have the governor remain In of-
fice, and not to withdraw from
the race for governor, does not
deserve to be treated with an
emotion so robust as honest in-
dignation. It is compounded of
the very dregs of evasion; its
psuedo logic will awaken no
favorable reaction in minds that
think. This masterpiece that em
erged from the brain of Jim
Ferguson during the hours he
was cloistered in the executive
mansion markn the lowest ebb
of undignitified silliness to
which that worthy has sunk
throughout the dreary comedy
he has played on the stage of
Texas politics. Better would it
have been for the lost cause of
Fergusonism had the Fergusons
brazened it out and let the peo-
ple put their own interpretation
on the matter and dsimiss the
incident amply another Fergson
promise thrown overboard at
the call of expediency. Jim Fer-
guson has exerted himself and
insulted the intelligence of the
people, to no profit.—Galveston

MEETING CONTINUES WITH
INCREASING INTEREST

big Tabernacle, being conduc-

wife, of Dallas, assisting Pastor
J. A. Boatman, continues with_____, ______.______________
increasing interest. A record Ing second and C. B. Grant, rush is expected to last for sev-
day night, when before the ser-
mon had begun, several came
sliders were reclaimed and one
or two new professions were
made before the minister had
time to preach a sermon; and
at the usual hour for dismiss-
ing, the congregation was dis-
missed without the sermon.
There was another deep stir
Monday night, when another
bunch were up for prayer and
many were reported reclaimed
and saved. Services are being
conducted at 10 to 11, a.m. each
day and at 8:15, at night and
the meeting seems to be just
beginning well. People are com-

LEAF WORM INVADES COT-
TON FIELDS OF STATE
Department literature calls
for the wholesale poisoning of
cotton for leaf worm, which
have invaded the cotton fields
of the state at an early stage of
the game and so general as to
make it some what alarming. It
is given out that ther is not
enough poison to supply the de-
mand in some places near De-
vine, the plant is stripped; but
the weevils and'dry weather
have rather cut off hopes of
making any top crop and we
have not heard. The crop here
will be better than for two or
three years, but not a large one
by any means.

THOMPSON CLAIMS PLURAL-
ITY WINS NOMINATION
In the recent primaries in the
J. P. race, there were three
candidates, J. C. Thompson
leading the ticket, W. B. Harde-
man, present incumbent, com-
closely folowing. It was natural-
ly expected that Thompson and
Hardeman would be in the run
county chairman has ruled, that
the plurality vote must stand.
This is very unsatisfactory to
Mr. Hardeman and his friends,
who claim that Mr. Grant split
the Hardeman vote, and that
Mr. Hardeman would stand a
good chance of defeating
Thompson in the run-off, had
not Hardeman been ruled out
Whether Mr. Hardeman will ask
that his name be written in or
will make the race in Novem-
ber, independently, has not
been decided upon as we write
this.

FIRST DAY, OVER 2,000
BUSHELS SHELLED, FIRST
DAY.
The opening of the corn mar-
ket in Devine is marked each
year b ythe starting up of the
big shelter at the Adams Co.
Elevator. Many of the farmers
time their harvesting so as to
be ready to gather and place
upon the market as soon as the
shelters start. Ferd Mechler
presides as weigher and in-
forms us that he weighed sixty
wagons Monday, and at least a
dozen more could not get shell-
ed out; owing to some little
trouble at the sheller; but Tues-
day at 10 a.m. he had weighed
twenty three wagons, and we
counted over thirty on the
streets waiting their turn. It
reminded us of a rush for
years ago, when 130 farm wa-
gons were on the street at one
time loaded with corn Mr. Me-
chler expected to weigh 80 wa-
gons Tuesday, he said. The
says he expects the real corn
rush to come next week. Farm-
era haul from 30 to 40 bushels
to the wagon, andoften make
two trips the day, selling sixty
to seventy five bushels. The
