I have JiiBl ree-elvcd a inter from

Ili cr1lllres imi generally ami espec-

error ouiilcl ho compressed into so lit-
tle Bimeo. The .occasion for the !pllr
.fcyonijMo hnve arisen from the fnol that
ho liiiii JiiBt discovered it movement oti
the part of hl neighbors against Ills
ooiidfdaoy for Congress.
'Judgo Illinium B Aral criticism Ih ot
my iittton in refusing to pledge m
tmppurt to any entididntc for postmas-
ter ul Abilene In uilvnuro of tlio Con-
Krusstonnl election. I believe I have

Of tor thu next election. Tin- law pto-

promising "to Use Iiih infliii'iKit or to

If 1 -IitniI now pledge my support In

ilKittlon or the matter; hut within a
fow days the appointment was mndo
without any Itirthor consultation with
me. hud no uoUro of it until nftor
the nomination was sent to the Sanalo.
An to whether Sterrett Is or U ti't
a Democrat the evidence Is conflict
ing so I leave the tiotluu to Judge
Hlanton and Ills uncle. Hon S. Webb
to thru Bb out and settle.
I do not think Cat. House should
loutrol Tax as patronage; novertlioloss
ho duos so. Ho Is er'mlltnd with hav
ing named mnm of the members of the;
Cabinet and with having controlled
pommiigo which Is usually accorded
to Souators
Now comes the most astounding jmrt
of JudKq HlatHonH letter. I quote:
Tito DniiioofatH of Hreekunrldge do-
tnnndod a primary. Judge Smith re-
fused U. They held one anyhow and
compelled the appointment of their
nominee. "
Thu truth Is 1 was novor askud to
authorize a primary at Hruckcuridgo
tborofom could pot havo refused It.
Hut 1 am told a primary waa .held
tliuro while that post olllco was still of
tlio -tth class and niidur civil svrvico
Altorwardft when the olllco was ad-
van cod to :inl class. frluiuU at llrcck-
uuridgu wrote mn udvUiug mo that the
primary hud buon held and tbat In
said primary II. M. Htevunson was
elected and that all would acquiesce In
his appointment. Without question I
immediately ruuomiueiided him ami ho
was appolntod. Does this look like 1
JjaU to. be ''compcJlctl?'"
Again I quoU. "Halrd meekly and
rftspuat fully askud for u primary. In
rftiblng U Judgo Smith quostioned the
Denioorallo fealty of such men us lion.
W. H Olllllauil olio of the oldest and
most faithful Democrats of Callahan

bor of Loglalaturo) and Mr T. K.
Povvull (iKii.kur and political loader)
both splendid men and good frlcmU of
iiiluu name the jioatmastur for Hand."'
Now- what is tin truth about thu
Uaird l"at office? Thu present Ineuni-
bont. a Hopubllcun was apiolutud by
Tuft and his turm doos not expire
until sometime in I'Jlti. No Democrat
of course has yvl boon ssioctsd. Nol-
thur ot the I'owolla has ywt recotu-
monded anyone io me fur that olllco.
Only one Duuiocrut of Uaird has so
far as I know suggested a primary
and that was more than a your ago.
and 1 wrote him a courteous reply I
did not then uor at any time question
thu Democratic lealty of lion. W. K
OillHuiid.
In this connection let tue call at
tuntiou to the fact tbat Judgo Ulantou

have known that llentry bad I bo eii-
dortioiuunt of' the Denocrallc Kxeeu
tive Committee of lil eotiiity and of
ti majority of the voters of the rlty
of I'ecoa.
Jiidgo Ulantou liolng nimble to nnuall
tne upon my oillclal record is trylni; to
iiuikn peoile believe thai I am guilty of
disreputable political trlckR and deals
and that I am subservient to a few
prominent politicians. I vnnt to re-
mind him that I have enjoyed a repu-
tation for honesty and Integrity and
political independence tou long to ue
hurt by any aiicli asHertlous.
As to the Ituddell tuattor. all I havo
to say Ih that after the Democrats
came into power 1 wrote Mr. Cox that
I d OH i red to recommend ttouio goad
Democratic friuml of mine who ioh-
scHHod the necessary ntutliflcatlotiH .for
the position of Cotton Agent In Taylor
county and saying that if Mr. Itoddcll
met all the roiilromentH I would be
Kind to reappoint him. 1 received u
reply suggesting Mr Youiif- 1 uat-
ii rally supposed Mr. Heddell did not
come up (o the roriiilroiiiciitH and went
ahead and recommended Mr. Yo'uiir.
I know nothing or any trouble. If any
existed between Mr. Heddoll and Mr
Cox. until after Mr. - Young was ap
pointed ly the Census Uiireuii. in tb
inttiro eoro'spondouco with Mr. Hed-
doll aniUMr. Nosmitli I declined to give
them ttio Information ttiev homiht ho-
cause the matter was closed and I
luotigut a flintier agtlatlou of it wntilu
ioiil add to tlio trouble and rusuit In
no iM'iieflt to any one. The letter I
ote Mr Hfildoll in IPiM nearly tun
igo I Hud was prompted by a
io from tbo Director of tbe
Joastis suTlttg ho hud been rccom-
leiided by a special ngoiit who bud
ion sent out by the Itiireaii and ask-
g if It would bo agrooubb- to me
itr Mr. HeddeU to bo aiipoiuted. This
Incident bad passed eiitlruK out of
my mind in I9U but if it hud not my
courso would have been the same at
all tlio cotton agenta of the district
had bean appolntod under Republican
"dmrnlstrutlon and
I had been asked
'0 roVUie tile llflt.
Judgo Ulantou argues from thiH in-
cident and from the further fact that
I wired Mr. Cox I had not been aii-
poiuted Interstate Commerce Commis-
sioner that I have decided to recom
mend Mr. Cox for postmaster This
is absolutely ridiculous In view tof the
fact that my said telegram was only
in response to an impiiry ho tCoxi
seat me.
There Is just one other thing In
Judgo HIiiuton'H letter tbat 1 care to
notice at this time and that Is his re-
mark that within a few days after he
decided to mn for Congress last fall.
I for the first tlmo In six years got
tt iurry to lslt my constituency
and left Congress In session and came
to Texas etc These Insinuations are
so pusillanimous I would pay no at-
tention to thorn if I hail not been ad-
vised tbat Judge Hlanton is using them
extensively In his campaign.
I campaigned the district six yean
ago. Since then Congress has been In
session three-fourths of the time Hut
every year at adjournment I have re-
turned homo and after a little rest and
attention to my personal affairs I have
gone out visiting in the district- Imh
year there waa no vacation between
the special and the regular sessions.
Anticipating there would not be 1
liko practically every olhor Congress
man uftur tbe currency bill had pass-
ed the House nnd while wo wen wait-
ing for the Senate to pass It. went
homo for a little vacation mid to look
after personal affairs nnd as was no-
usual custom I visited us many places
In the district as possible. In. doing
fi innjleHtod no duty la Washington.
juugu Hlanton statement that If
nominated and elected lie certainly
would not pormll mo i nama Abl
lono g postmaster on December 10th. Is
the most laughable joke I havo road
In many a day. There Is not the slight
est possibility of his nomination but
If such a thing could possibly be Im-
agined he could not Immediately be-
come so powerful uh to Interfere with
my oIIIoIkI functions several months
before the expiration of my term. I
wonder if thu Jpdgo has designs on
the perogathos of tbo President also.

SILOS
-
To The Taylor Coiimly Farmers In-
stitute: Your committee on Hllos niako tbe
following report:
Wo feel Hint there Is but oni rer-
lous mUuiko you can make about
nlloHnud that Is not to build one.
If you hrtvo made up your mind to
avoid that mistake .then the kind ot
silo to build or dig and the size Is
largely a matter of Individual pref-
erence. That the good and bad points
of each kind of silo may be studied
so that you cult make a selection to
suit your surroundings your purse
your labor and your taste wo give
a short description of the different
kind of silos -wooden concrete metal
rock brick tlio and pit.
mioilcn Sllon.
These Situs nre the regular Iron
hoop stnvo silo the wooden hoop the
common sense or crib flllo the panel
silo the Hurler flllo the Cralne silo
tho Wisconsin silo nnd the -1x4 gov
ernment bIIo. nnd this Inter stylo
with the binder twine between tho
3X-I.
The stnvo silo In tho one In morn
general uae thi4i ajl the others com-
hlned Tho stnvcB are of varloiiH
kinds of wood pine red wood. Or
hemlock and cypreBS. Thu pluu Is
the most generally used bucatiso It
Is cheaper and Is giving general sat-
isfaction. All the tftavo silos are
bound together with Iron hoops and
linvo doorn thu height ot the silo
some spaced and sumo continuous.
The merits of the stave silo are.
they are quickly erected come ready
to put.up. are neat structures keep
too Bllttgo well or better than any
other kind nnd nre the standard an to
price. A hundred ton silo of untialut
cd nnd untreated wood will cost about
?2f.O.
The disadvantages are? the wood
bwoIIs when the Juices or the sllagO
are absorbed and shrink iib the sllnrcc
Is removed ulttkjng It necesanry to
tighten tho hoops and loosen OKaln
when relllled Tbe empty bIIo Is hard
to keep In Bhnpe needs much care
must be painted nnd well guyed Is
subject to boltig blown down shrinks
and becomes racked nnd goes to stnvo
nnd in tills section n very large per
cent of the early silos were struck
by lightning. There are several stave
silos near Abilene nnd all nre giving
good satisfaction. J. M. Miller. J. H
Knox W. J. Fnucctt J. U nurford
ouch have a bIIo of this kind
Tho Common Suiibc or Crib Silo Is
made of 2x4 lumber laid flat and
spiked together with large nails and
is lined with nn asphalt felt paper.
and has from six to twelve sides.
The Tung-Lok Silo Is practically
the same as the Common Sense and
in addition the 2x4 pieces are tongtK'd
and grooved like flooring The ad-
vantages of tliose silos' .fro: that no
special skill is required to do tbo
work they cm) be built at Idle time
nnd arc alwnyB safe wherever work
is stopped can be made higher at any
time has no hoopB to become loose
or to be tightened can not go to stav.
or fall down and will stand and be
good aB long as the wood wijl last
but arc subject to lightning the same
as the other wooden silos. Their dis-
advantages arc: That they are more
dtnicult to properly fill than tho round
make hut when properly filled will
keep the sllngo as good as any other
make and while there are no hoops
Used It talccs (practically twice as
much lumber tho walls being four
Inches thick but ns there arc- no guy
wires or hoops necessary the cost of
thla make Is practically the same as
the stave and hoop silo. One hun
dred ton silos ot either mako will cost
approximately $350.
Kach of the other kind of wooden
silos named in this article has Its mer
its and faults but none are In ub
near here and so far as the commit
teo is advised thero is no inquiry
about them but the prices aro giv-
en In their catalogues and do not vary
greatly from the prices In those given
above.
Of these tliere nro three general
types. The block Is the vory usuai
form and there Is one on the Danke
farm near here which wbb built bcv-
oral ycare ago. nnd la In good shnne.
They aro moro costly than nny form
of wood silos but those who have used
them nro wall pleased. A hundred
ton alio of thla kind will cost about
1475.
The content stave silo is made of
short concrete staves either rectan-
gular or diamond shape and Is bound
together by Iron hoops and Is report-
ed by those who have used them as
giving good satisfaction. Mr. O. O.
Cresswell or Oplln Callahan county
baa one of this mako. A hundred ten
silo of this make will cost 1343.
The Monolythlc or solid concrete
silo la made in one piece built up In
moulds by sections and la unquos
tlonably a good silo. Mr- John Guitar
has such a silo near Abilene. A hun-
dred ton silo of this kind will cost
approximately fnOti.
The advantages of the acment Mtos
nre: permanence durability Jiltjo
likelihood of blowing down lightning
proof tire proof no shrinkage or swell
lap and cnu bo built or any height
and sliinll diameter; It ncctis no paint
and .calls for no repairs.
The drawbacks are: If sno uttottlO
riaek It is almost Impossible m patch
or repair. In cold climate tlu fdir.RO
Is harder to keep than In n Wooden
silo and is more expensive In build-
If material Is convenient it is pro
bnble thoj- nre worth the addtHol cost.
In Missouri the farmers who have us-
ed silos made of cement wore unani-
mous In their statement thai If they
were to build additional sIIoh they
would mako them of cement- In this
ellmnle lhnr.. In in-nlmlil. mi Inlnrv In
. nliago from evaporation or cool-
lug
Tliere nre also cement plnstered
silos using steel lath nro cheaper than
the other forms of silos and as good-
Hrlek stone nnd tile silos have all
been tried but are more expensive
than any of the silos that we have
discussed and there poems to bo no
demand here for Information of either
kind.
There nre several kinds of metal
silos but an far as we know there nro
none In this Immediate section but
there Is one rlose to Ilradshaw. A
hundred ton silo will cost approx
imately $
Thero Is n mctnl silo lined with cy-
press with a dead air space between
the walls and nn nsphalt or tar lining
so that there Is no swelling of the
wood: the sllngu acids do not reaefcfhlng Oil in
the metal and there Is no dangarot
evaporation or cooling. A hundred
ton silo will cost approximately
The.y cost In proportion to the
weight and quality of tho metal. They
havo been long nnd successfully tincd
in Australia. Their advantages are
olr tight fire proof ..'smooth walls
and silage settles easy; can bo taken
npatt and removed; do not crack or
dry nut: come In small sections and
are easily handled in nn ordlaury
wagon. Thero are metals that n?c
ncld proof and any kind enn be ma.lo
bo by useing asphalt or tar paint.
The disadvantages nre: the contin-
ual high winds nre liable to destroy
tbo texture of the metal by the con-
tinual vibration: are llabln 'o bo
blown down and aro more expensive
than the wooden mnke. and more care
has to be taken to prevent th- .tohljproprlnto.
