which would seem to indicate

vote on this troublesome question
and get it out of politics.
The democratic state ^inven-

will probably be in control, and
properly so. although the opposi-

Wendling, the Frenchman sus-
pected of killing Little Alma

been captured in San Francisco

the awful crime.
John G. Carlisle, former secre-
tary of the treasury under Presi-

once speaker of the National

The Riesel Rustler, once un-
friendly to Kennedy, but now his
friend, says:
"It takes courage to make a
race with such opposition to face
as A. M. Kennedy did, ibut he

for speaker of the next legisla-
ture, and we wouldn't be a ibit

THE BU8HHHW OB FABMINO,
OR FARMING ON A BUS-
INESS BASIS.
Farming or planting for some,
reason, says the Texas Commercial
Secretaries Association, seems to
have acquired the reputation or
to be looked upon as a sort of
irregular, happy-go-lucky work oi
occupation, devoid of the system
and business methods as found in
commercial life, while the farmer
himself is thought of in about the
•Sait}«c light, and except in the
ease of the more wealtthy farm-
ers are not considered quite the
equal of, the professional mSn or

All this has worked much

It has developed that it cost
something to write love elctfers
iu Bell county, as one gentleman
in Bel ton this week was assessed
a four thousand dollar verdict
for writing a love letter to some
maid in New York. When you
look at the number of dashing
young maids that really desire
the hand of love in Texas the
price he paid was not unreason-
able. It will teach the other
suckers that home spun goods ft it

manager or as a professional
fanner.
To illustrate this point, an in-
stance is cited where a man mov-
ed onto a farm in a farming com-
munity. but. the appearance of
the man and his family and their
household effects, horses and
driving rigs, were more those ot
a professional man or merchant
than a farmer. When the man
was seen driving to town often,
wearing kid driving "loves, lie
became known to his more com-
monplace neighbors as the " kiil-
' glove farmer." and they judged
that 1 e would have small fann-
ing ability. But it soon turned
out that lie believed in fanning
on a business basis and intensive
culture and though the farm own-
er should be largely a manager
with an office and business
methods and a telephone ami
it her necessary means of promot-
ing and expediting the work.

RACE WAR.
From Saturday's Daily.
The following telegram was re-
ceived just as we were going to
pniss today:
Iface war has been in prog-
res all day at Elkhart Tex., all
day reports say 23 negroes
known to be killed and 3 white
men reported dead. The negroes
are all heavily armed and in
great numbers, have been driven
from the city, and now located
in the woods. They are shooting
at every white person in sight.
All hardware stores and saloons
closed. Military companies are
being hurried to the- scene.
Many armed men in automobiles
have gone to the scene from Pal-
estine and .other pointy. Great
excitement prevails, j

CONGRESS.
Washington, 1). ('., July 14.
To the Editor:—
The following figures, to prove
the National importance of cot-
ton, will interest you. So far as
I kow they have never hitherto
been compiled in such form. Thin
justify strong editorial utteran-
ces, summoning our representa-
tives in Congress to bring an end
to parsimonious appropriations
for fighting the fighting the boll-
weevil m in I improving cultural
methods. More money, by far.
has been given to save the trees
of New England from the gypsy
moth, than has been set aside to'
maintain our place as a creditor
nation, which we hold by reason
of cotton alone. The subject of
cotton supply for the world, by!
Southern States—now threatened
by efforts and experiiuentts in
India, Africa, and South Ameri-
ca becomes one of National com-
merce and means much more thai |
'iicrely a curious interest as to I
whether t he cot ton planters of the
South can continue to raise fi-
bre successfully.

The total value of all exports

States during this period has
been ."H(j,43f),l 14,566. The total

ing the same time has been $13,-

for raw cotton alone and at low
valuation. They leave out of eon
sideration manufactured cotton
and cotton products.
The, purpose of the compilation
is to lift cot ton subjects, enemies,
and cultural methods out of con-
sideration as solely Southern in-
terests ami give them their right-
ful place as National; for with-
out cotton the Nation would ap-
pear a debtor, instead of a cred-
