TEMPLE EDITOR IN TOWN.
Unrest is Still Apparent.
The air is still perceptibly charged
with uncertainty growing out of the
recent assissl nation of Constable Jim
Mitchell and burning of the negro,
Henry Gentry. It Is admitted In a
quiet way that threats ha»e been
made by members of the Gentry fam-
ily against some of those who took
part in wreaking vengeance upon
Henry, and with these things in
mind the 1 eople of Belton were con-
siderably alarmed about 11 o'clock
last night to hear a number of pis-
tol shots in the heart of the r*W-
der.ee section—on Central avenute.
Inveetigatlon shewed that Jack Pild-
dy had found a man, believed to be
a negro. In "his yard, and that he
had shot at him and instituted a
search.
Nothing further happened so far as
your correspondent is Informed. Col-
ored persons arourd the town be-,
took themselves along seemly paths j
or stayed within the protection of
their homes or the homes of white j
folks. T?:e negro pool room whtch
vti ordered closed now Is adorned j
with a placard nicely painted upon
which Is a picture of a skull and
crow bones and the legend:
"Don't open this Joint again. This
means you."
Som* think that a mistake has
been made In forcing the Gentry fam-
ily to leave town—believing It would
have b*cn better to have allowed
them to remain here In order that
the matter night be settled more
*!)e«61ly in ease any member of that
faml'v frM* ln»"ned ta discuss the
question farther. It is safe to say
that law-abiding negroes would do

Dunlap, traffic manager of the Sun-
set-Central lines, has given out the
following Interview to the press,
which will, on account of the trouble
some time ago, will prove Interesting
reading. The article is as follows:
"The frauds which were perpetrat-
ed in the early part of this year in
the Southwest, by means of whict*
English cotton purchasers accepted
railroad bills of lading whkl» pur-
ported to represent cotton that was
never forwarded or did not exist, nat
urally caused a good deal of excite-
ment on the Continent. Following
these exposures, the bill of lading
conference committee, composed of
representatives of various Cotton Ex-
changes at the principal European
ports, with H. Kern of Liverpool,
England, as chairman, became active
in investigating the manner iu which
cotton bills of lading were being
signed, both by the railroads In the
interior and at shipping ports by the
(Steamship companies. This standing
committee was established In 1M07,
following the big cotton crop, when
so many of the railroads in the coun-
try, and especially In the South,were
congested and cotton was so long eti
route—the organization of this com-
mittee being prompted, in a measure,
to overcome such deloys. This com-
mittee exacted an agreement from
the steamship companies that they
woul.d not sign a bill of lading for
cotton unless it was actually In their
possession.
' "This is a reasonable requirement
and a m(>ve in the right direction, as
it did atvay with the old practice of
steamship agents exchanging railroad
bills of lading for steamship bills of
lading when the cotton represented
by such documents might not reach
the steamship carrier for some time.
The English committee did not ob-
ject to the through railroad bill of
lading, and as a consequence of
which the practice of shipping on
through bills of lading from, say, the
interior of Texas to Europe, has
largely Increased, thereby making
such business Interstate commerce.
There is no advantage, from a rail
standpoint, in Issuing a through bill
of lading. It promotes commerce,
however, and as It is a great conven-
ience to both shipper and consignee,
the railroads have assented to the
continuation of the practice.
Works With Banker*.
"This committee, working with
bankers and other Interested, have
made inquiries and suggestions to the
railroads as to the method of signing
bills ofiadlng for cotton, with a view
of exercising greater care to prevent
frauds. I have sent to Mr. Kern a
copy of our instructions to agents,
giving the dstalls of the way cotton
is received at compresses and for-
warded. One of the questions asked
related to the authority of the agent
;or representative who signed cotton
bills of lading. In our case, the
agent is th# only representative who
Is authorised to sign a bill of lading
except at more Important points
one reliable clerk is authorized to do
the same thing. Our commercial and
division freight agents have the same
authority, also. A cotton bill of lad-
ing is a v«ry valuable document, and
represents a large sum of money,and
it is the object of all carriers to safe-
guard that document as much as pos-
sible. It practically has the same
standing as a draft or check, and,
of course. Is subject to the same fal-
sification and forgery as those docu-
ments. In my opinion it Is a high
compliment to the Integrity and hon-
esty of railroad agents that there
have been so few forgeries or fraud
ulent documents of this nature.
There has never been such a case
for the last ten years on our lines,
and only one case, I believe. In the
last twenty-five years. So far as I
have heard, there has only been one
case within the last several years
with any of the Texas roads, and
that road promptly made good Its
hill of lading in a very considerable
amount.
Rules of Commissittn.
"Under the rules of the Texas Rail-
road Commission, railroads are re-
quired to accept cotton on compr
platforms; that is, thoae platform*
are regarded as the facilities of the
railroad company and responsibility
begins Immedistely upon the signing
of the bills of lading for thla cotton
while on the compress platform, ex-
cept that railroads are supposed to
be protected by Insurance until the
cotton Is actually loaded Into their
cars.
There have been many sugges-
tions made since the Georgia cases,
with •respect to the safeguarding of
the railroad bill of lading, such as
issuing a separate certificate to ac-
company the biU of lading or having
the ageat acknowledge his signature
before a notary public, etc., to which,

Any of the above goods will be sold to responsible parties,

& TELEPHONE COMPANY
I think, generally, the railroads have
Indicated a willingness to subscribe.
Of course, if fraud is intended and
there Is collusion between the cot-
ton man and the railroad agent, I
don't think any regulation or law,
will prevent fraud In that case. In
my opinion, the moat good can be
accomplished by greater security on
the part of banks, and eapeciaily
country banks, of the signatures of
the railroad documents which pur-
port to cover the possessions of cot-
ton.
Laxity of Banks.
"There has been great laxity on
this feature, as I have wen bills of
lading representing thousands of dol-
lars of cotton pass through ths bank
without even a signature. The banks
s'ould be familiar with the signature
of the party or parties who are au-
thorUed to sign railroad bills of lad-
ing, and if they give the same in-
spection to those documents which
tbfly do to other negotiable paper
pasalng through their hands, it will
be a difficult thing to deceive them.
The cases of fraud which have come
to light usually occur when some cot-
ton firm finds It is badly Involved
on account cf speculation or bad
management. The banks are sup-
posed to be more familiar with the
operations and standing of firms than
the railroad companies, and if they
would pay apeclal care to the opera-
tiona of auch firms it would go a
long ways toward doing away with
the very Infrequent cases of fraud.
"The plan which appears to have
received the greatest favor Is for
the Issuing railroad agent to attach a
coupon, numbered consecutively aad
printed on safety paper, stamped and
aigned by him, to each bill of lading
and that no bill of lading will be
t
accepted by a shipper without thai
certificate. This plan, I believe, \vlil
be entirely acceptable and go a long
way toward preventing fraud. *
"I don't see how legislation will
affect the situation ip that rtspecf.
In fact, if, as intimated, a law would
be proposed which would fssten ttfe
responsibility upon the railroad com-
pany, there would be a tMidetoey en
the part of banks to be less vigilant
than now. In fact, I think it would
serve to encourage fraud rather than
stop it. Certainly ao statute could
be passed which would hold the rail-
road company to a forged bill of lad-
ing. and if th« cotton is In the pos-
session of the railroad whan the bill
of lading Is signed, there Is no ques-
tion about its responsibility.'' •
