MRS. M. B. ADAMS' SUNDAY
SCHOOL CLASS HAS FINE TIME.
Entertained in Home of Mrs. Chas.
Willis—Charming Program
Rendered.
(From Wednesday's Daily.)
The Sunday school clasC; of .Mrs. M.
B. Adams, too of Marvin's largest and
mast enthusiastic classes carried out
last night the custom of its '.•semi-
annual entertainment, consisting of
a social and musical program.
Through the generosity of Mrs. Willis
her delightful home, recently dcli\
f red to her from the hands of t x
perienced artisans, was thrown open
• o the class. Amongst the many
lovely homes of Tyler none have been
more appropriately constructed for
successful entertaining. The inner
construction with its soft lian^in^s
l>f draperies so beautifully blending
into the surroundings, the Tkili
Oriental rugs dotted about over the
hard wood floors makes a scenee a'
^nee the envy of all.
The program arranged for the en-
tertainment could never have been
more successfully executed. All par-
ticipants deserving especial mention.
The little Misses Pearsons, nieces >f
(he hostess, charmed the audience
with t'heir catchy songs. Master Clias.
Willis, with his comic selection,
biought forth rounds of deserved ap-
plause, Miss Carrie Clenn, on the
piano, accompanied by her brother
Frank on the trombone, rendered suc-
cessfully selections in a manner cre-
ditable to artists of experience. A
diversion from the musical program
bi the way of a reading by Miss PecK
depicting in a mbst laughable manner
the family of five in a futile attempt
to blow out the candle. Her success-
ful effort •delighted all. Mrs. W. C.
Autrey in her charming way san-?
•sweetly 2 selections—her sweet mel-
low voice has a charm of delight that
siwayis brines bursts of applause.
Miss Lenora Harris drew forth beau-
tiful strains from her violin that
both charmed and delighted. Mrs. K.
H. Llurnhatn, a guest of honor, ren-
dered in a most charming manner a
couple of "difficult piano selections.
Her rendition classes her as a skill-
ful artist. The artistic manner in
which Miss Irene Swann handles the
piano, delights beyond expression,
ail who hear her. Her solos are sim-'
ply grand. Mrs. Willis, our hostess,
deserves all that could possibly be
5-aid of her musical accomplishments.
We had for a guest of lienor Mr.
llngh Taylor of Oklahoma City, ex-
governor of Tennessee ami brother of
tlie present Democratic nominee fo:1
governor )ot that state. The dis-
tinguished guest rendered in a most
■charming 'way one of his many se-
lections, and joined in the many so-
cial features of the entertainments
that, made us glad to have him
amongst our number. After the serv-
ing of delicious refreshments we bade
bur hostess a kind good nig,lit with
pleasant recollections of the evening
stamped on our minds.

The first practical demonstration of the
Price-Camphell cotton pi-kinK machine
to be held in North Texas was shun
Cnmpbell machine t not nlone a cotton

makes of it either a plow a «line harrow,
a ootton chopper or a stalk cutter, to
•ay nothing of the other uses to which
tho propelling power can bo applied.
Some of the advantages claimed for the
machine are: It will pick an aero an
hour and tret all the open cotton on
the plant; It does not limine the plant
nor harm the unopened bolls or delicate
blooms. It Is operated by one man. Ar-
rangements have been made to exhibit
the cotton picker at the coming State
Kalr, and a patch of cotton has been
planted in the race course iniletd for this
purpose.

work of the cotton picker several proml-

HEAVIEST RECEIPTS IN COTTON
ON THAT DAY IN YEARS.
Cotton receipts last Saturday in
Tyler By wagon were the heaviest in
many years. Indeed, Mr. Tom Pinker-
ton states that it was the heaviest
day he has ever known. He weighed
307 bales. Barron's yard weighed 121
bales, and Mr. Barron stutes that this
is one of the biffgest days he has ever
had. Total receipts flor that day were
-12S bales.
Receipts for the season up to noon
today were about f>,8."7 bales by wa-
gon.
Prices today are about 14 cents and
in some instances a litttle over 11
cents.
\ well known cotton man this
morning stated that half the cotton
had been marketed; an/other man said
over half has been marketed.

Over 300 members of the Smith

crowd on the train. The Tyler Kid
Band will al.-;o go on the trip.
The Junior Booster Club will meet

this evening to determine just how j
many members of that organization j

other citizens will be members of i!i
party, coming from all sections of the
county, and it is safe to say that
Tyler and Smith county will send the
largest delegation to Dallas on that
occasion that ever went to that city
before on a similar event.
Mr. Acker is gelling out a circular
letter today to be mailed over the
county notifying the people the time
the train will leave Tyler and telling
them of the cost of the trip, which

Jout of the trip for Tyler and Smith

Let's all go and have a good time,
and send a bunch of boosters to Dal-
las that will wake up that old
town.
yesterday afternoon on the Oaruth farm,
northeast of Dallas on the Shoniian-IJal-
las Interurhan line, wliert) a. portion of
W. C. Burden' cotton erop was harvest-
ed by means of the ineehanieal picker.
The demonstratloiT was witnessed my
about 500 eil i/.ens of Dallas and the hu-
me.Hate vieinlty. The opinion "I those
qualified to Uiidw was that the frier
Campbell picker Is a «rent success and
that one of ¿float labor problems that
confronto the cotton «rowing belt today
has been solved.
Seeing Is Believing.
Many of those who composed the party
went to the cotton tfcld in a mood most
skeptical and expressions' tre.|ucnll>
heard Indicated that the mlnils of must
of the crowd were filled with doubts
as to the practicability of any mechanical
contrivance to successfully supplant the
negro cotton picker. Enthusiasm, in-
terest and belief in the invention bewail
to grow by leaps and bounds, however,
when the motors whirred and the ma-
chine started down n cotton row.
Nimble Fingers Work.
The cotton' fibre, snatched from tin,
stalks by a battery of rotating metal
fingers, was carried upward and de-
posited In sacks at the rear of the ma-
chino and as the waves of 11le fleecy
white staple flowed Into the retaining
receptacles those who watched were
changed from skeptleals into admirer .
Complimentary remarks took the place
of criticisms that had preceded tin- ex
hlbltlon. It was another illustration of
the old-time and trite expression, "see
ing Is believing." Through the medium
of sight, those present realized that a
successful cotton picker was an actual-
ity and not an untried scheme.
Many farmers from the section around
the Caruth farm were present. The
the
these t. Iks are given below:
Opinions of those who have seen
machín. in -uiccessful epi lation:
lloy.il A. Kerrls, president of the Amer-
ican Kvhaneo National I lank of Dalla ,
said: "Tills new eotum picker, lo my
mind, Is the most remarkable thing I
have e\> T seen."
!■:. I', Murray of the Murray ('¡In Co.
said: "Mr. Price lias i;.u the cotton
picker: it is a sin • • > and can be callen
a Slice. "
Col. John N. Simpson, said: "it is
what I call a perf'ei machine, it Ih a
success, gentlemen."
Lewi.: Dabncy: "It Is of untold benefit
toward the upbuilding of the South."
It. E (¡ahugan of tie- American lOx
change National Hank: "It Is nearly
enough perfect to be practical."
S. .1 May, mayor of hallas: "It sur-
passes my most sanguine expectations."
Prof. S. A. I.aird: "It most assuredly
picks the cotton."
Col. \V A. Mowen of Arlington: "An
undoubted success. I counted bolls on 110
stalk and found only nine bolls un-
picked."
W. S Klrby, of Dallas: "I am a cot
ton planter of many jenrs experience
and have seen the l'rlce-Cnmpbcll Cot
lTice-('ampbell machine doe the work."
P. It Freeman, business man of Dal-
las: "A revelation to a skeptic."
C. II Alexander, prominent business
man of Dallas: " Itlifnk the machine
is a winner and I predict that in a short
time It will be absolutely perfect in Its
operation. The principle Is correct anil
hy virtue of the fact that It does not
disturb or break the unopened bolls or
even the hloom, It removes the one oh

party was composed of both men and
women and was personally directed by
Mr. Price,
To describe the cotton picker In Its
mechanical details would take aijy ex-
pert mechanician and such a description
would probably mean little except lo one
familiar with machinery.
Gasoline Motor Machine.
The average Observer sees a gasoline
motor machine of ten or twelve feet In
length. It is equipped with alternating
row of interlocking metal lingers through
which the cotton stalk pass. The liber
1 gathered into storage bags attached
to the r<ar. The driver, or operator,
occupies a seat over the forward wliecTs
and operates the machine much after the
manner of driving an automobile.
In action the cotton picker travels
down the row at a rate of between three
and four miles an hour. In yesterday's
demonstration the stalks were plucked
clean of cotton and an examination after
the machine had passed proved that un-
opened bolls and the growing stalk w• re
uninjured.
In the field where tin; exhibition was
given were shown two hales of eoiton.
one if which was harvested with tin col-
lón picker and the other gathered hy
hand, and It was notable that although
the cotton came from the same ||. M tlie
grade of the bale picked by machinery
was better.
Machine Has Many Uses.
According to the owners, the Pilce-
Oalc: "I consider the maehlne a sueeess
after earful observation. I have been
In fillis County thirty years. I would ad
vise all cotton fanners to see the Catnp-
hell-l'rlce Cotton I'ieker do the work."
O. B. Scott, cotton planter of Scurry,
Texas: "This machine Is all U: Iv "
Mike II Thomas, vice president of liar-
greaves Printing Co., Dallas: "It Is the
success of the century. It will prove to
labor the saving Marconi docs to Ufó and
property."
M. II. Wolfe, a prominent Dallas cot-
ton broker: "When I used tu pick not
ton it was hard for me to ti in I a man
Hint i ouiil keep up, but when I went in
the patch with Ibis machine I must con-
fess It heats mi' "
W. W. Johnson, cotion planter, of Cor-
don, Texas: "I witnessed this demonstra-
tion and think it a great sueess. I've

perior to anything I've seen."
S. I'. Wlhs. of Calexico, imperial Coun-
