tVtoKACO, March 10.—Lee D. Martin, as-
sessor of Mitchell county, has the following
to say:
" Owing to n vacillating land policy gov-
erning undeveloped sections of our State,
together with many internal defects, it is
impossible to secure nil accurate assess-
ment of property under our present assess-
ment laws. Tliese defects increase the
labor of assessors, work a loss to the State
and aro an embarrassment to the pub-
lic. Thev ought and doubtless would be
remedied by the legislature if called to the
attention of that body in an intelligible
form. The assessors, owing to their inti-
mate acquaintance with the difficulties en-
countered, are best qualified to point out
rlie evil and the remedy, and with this cud
in view I beg to suggest the propriety of
an assessors convention, to convene in
Dallas or Fort Worth, on the first Monday
in May next, for the purpose of determin-
ing the legislation needed and formulating
a memorial to the next legislature for its
passage."

work again. Most of the land had been
broken before the wet weather set in, and
two weeks of good weather now will place
the farming interests in good condition.

was convicted of the theft of two pistols
and a shot-gun. He is a very small child
;,nd only 14 years of age. The defense in
his case was kleptomania, and the jury,
gave him two years in the penitentiary.
Owing to his tender years a greater portion
of the jury said they would sign a petition
for his pardon. This is one case where ex-
ecutive clemency for the sake of humanity
ought to be extended.

Special tft Tlie News.
AVeatherford, March 10.—The second
day's meeting of the Cattle-raisers Associa-
tion of Northwest Texas was called to order
by President C. C. Slaughter, of Dallas, at
11 a. m., and opened with an eloquent
prayer by Dr. H. R. Raymond.
The first business transacted was the ap-
pointment by the president of the following
committees for the ensuing year:
Committee oil'Bound-up—E. S. Sugg, L,
E. Ward, W. B. Wortliam, Dick Forsythe,
Frank Houston, C. C. Bunnell, Dan Wag-

ol' Dallas, chairman.

of Stock—W. A. Garner, S. W. Lomax, S.
1'. Cunningham; T. T. D. Andrews, of Fort
Worth, chairman.
|b The election of officers being next in or-
der, Colonel C. C. Slaughter, of Dallas, was
placed in nomination for president by
Judge Lindsay. Colonel Slaughter, how-
ever, in an eloquent speech, in which he re-
ferred to the great ability with which
Colonel C. L. Carter had for nine consecu-
tive years presided over the meetings of the
association, only being permitted at the last
gathering to retire upon his own urgent so-
licitation. for reasons which no longer pre-
vailed, withdrew his own name in favor of
that gentleman, and, upon a suspension of
the rules, Uncle Kit (as he is known to
every cattleman in the State) was for the
ninth time elected by acclamation.
Colonel Carter's business-like address upon
accepting the office was received by the
convention with long-continued applause.
The other officers elected are Captain W.
S. Ikard, of Henrietta, first vicc-piesident;
Bert Burnett, of Fort Worth, second vice-
president; James C. Loving, of Jacksboro,
secretary and cx-officio treasurer, and F.
R. Sherwood, of Gainesville, assistant sec-
retary.
James C. Loving, the secretary, was first
elected to that office in 1877, and has been
re-elected unanimously at each succeeding
meeting, and to no one man is more largely
due the success of this association.
The first warm work of the convention
was brought about by the following pream-
ble and resolutions, offered by C. W. White,
of Waco.
■Whereas, notwithstanding the fact that
the beef cattle shipped from the range
country during the past twelve months
have not reached the number shipped the
previous year by nearly 200,000 head, the
beef markets of the East have been de-
pressed for tlie past, two years, and are now
ruinously low and unprofitable to the
ranchman; and
Whereas it is known that the beef mar-
kets of the three great beef centers—Chi-
cago, Kansas City and St. Louis—are cou-
troHed and manipulated by a ring, or com-
bination of a few persons, the profits to
three of the principal members of which
are believed to have been f 100,000,000 in the
last two years; and
Whereas it is evident that these enormous
profits come directly and entirely out of
the ranchman, and that the whole cattle in-
dustry of the United States has been para-
lyzed'by this system of wholesale robbery;
therefore,
1. Resolved, that we as producers of this
great staple, realizing that the low prices
now paid us do not affect the price of
beef at retail in the eastern markets—the
same being as high as when we sold our
beef for 6 and 7 cents per pound, while now
we only realize from 3 to Vi cents—protest
most earnestly against tlie pernicious sys-
tem of pooling the purchase of our cattle in
Chicago, Kansas City and St. Louis, and
demand that those who receive a regular
profit in commissions, and who claim to act
as our agents and friends, join with us in
adopting such measure or measures as will
break up the present system.
2. Resolved, that we favor the restoring
of such railroad tariff rates between live-
beef shipments and dressed-beef shipments,
from the principal western markets to east-
ern and seaboard markets, as will serve to
place the buyers of cattle for live transpor-
tion and the buyers of cattle for shipment
in the carcass on an equal footing and
doing away with the dangerous system
which has placed the traffic in nearly all
the range cattle in the hands of an organ-
ized monopoly by reason of this advantage
in freight rates and to the detriment not
only of tlie western producers, but of the
eastern consumers as well.
The general debate which followed the
reading of these resolutions was led by
Captain Thomas F. West, W. H. Morton,
A. I'. Bush, Jr., Colonel Slaugater, Judge
Lindsay ana Colanel J. N. Simpson.
The final judgment of the association ap-
peared to be voiced by the latter gentle-
man, who said that while no more import-
ant matter than this was before the conven-
tion, the wording of the resolutions might
be considerably improved, and the resolu-
tions were tlierefofe referred back to the
committee.
Colonel Simpson's indorsement of the re-
cent action of Commissioner Fink in ad-
vancing the rates on dressed meat from
Chicago to New from 40 to 70 cents, leaviug
live stock at 40 cents, met with loud ap-
plause.
The resolution of A. P. Bush, Jr., against
the system of selling cattle per capita and
the custom of the railroads of allowing
commiasion or rebate on shipments re-
ceived by them, was passed, as was also
one by Colonel C. L. Carter against the un-
just, "arbitrary and unconstitutional cattle
inspection laws of the territories of New
Mexico and Arizona, in so far as they pro-
hibit all cattle, whether diseased or not,
from entering these Territories except upon
condition that drovers pay a tax of from 10
to 20 cents per head on their herds.
The executive committee was appointed
as follows, after which the meeting ad-
journed until to-morrow: C. L. Carter, W.
S. Ikard, S. B. Burnett, J. C. Loving, J. N.
Simpson, A. P. Bush, Jr., C. C. Slaughter,
A. M. Britton, J. G. Witlierspoon, II. G.
Bedford, W. A. Lewis, W.T. Waggoner and
M. O. Lynn.

county, N. Y., writes May 7, 18S5: "Six
years ago I was dying of dyspepsia. My
stomach and digestive organs were in a
horrible state. I feared consumption of the
bowels, which were dreadfully constipated.
I was bed-ridden for many months; finally
bought six boxes Brandreth's Pills. When
I had finished taking them I was a well
man. Took five the first night; ran down
to one pill, then up again to five, alter-
nately."

THE
Morse Cotton Compressor.
Most powerful and effective in the world.
Exerts pressure on bale of 5,000,000 pounds.
Has loaded largest cargoes taken at American
ports. Fifty-nine of these compressors have
been introduced in last eight years, and tliey
are now compressing oveii half the American
chop. There are 11 Morse Presses in New Or-
leans alone, doing seven-twelfths of the whole
business. Several of those, erected eight years
ago, have compressed over one .million bales
each, without defect or appreciable wear. Their
immense weight and strength have rendered
them tho only durable compress in use, and
wherever erected, most successful and profit-
able, saving annually millions of dollars in
freight charges.
