ENGLAND REPLIES TO
LIQUOR QUESTION OF
SECRETARY HUGHES
By Associated Press
Washington, Sept. 19.—The British
reply to Secretary Hughes’ proposal
for a reciprocal agreement on ship
liquor and liquor smuggling was re-
ceived at the State Department today.
It was described by officials "in gen-
eral as not sympathetic to the pro-
posals.” The British government
plans, however, to present the ques-
tion to the British imperial confer-
ence in London next month.
State Department officials view the
communication as leaving open the
possibility of negotiating a double-
barreled treaty to curb rum running,
and also to facilitate liquor shipments
in foreign bottoms.
There was no attempt, however, to
disguise the fact that the British gov-
ernment had indicated a general dis-’
approval of the plan and had raised
objections against it.

TEXAS RANKS EIGHTH IN
NUMBER COTTON SPINDLES
By Associated l’rees
Dallas, Texas, Sept. 19.—Among 14
Southern states, Texas ranks eighth
in the number of cotton spindles and
Seventh in looms, according to statis-
tics compiled by Burt C. Blanton, in-
dustrial engineer ol the Texas Cham-
ber of Commerce. Cotton mills in
Texas represent an Investment of
325,000,000, statistics show.
“Cotton textile mills In Texas con-
sume a small quantity of the state's
cotton production, as Texas raised
from one-fourth to one-third of the
cotton crop of the nation,” Blanton
said, “and contains less than one-half
of one per cent of the cotton spindles
of the nation.
"Texas contains the natural constit-
uents for fabrication of cotton, Includ-
ing the following essentials: adequate
finances, potential supply of labor,
adequate source of power, trained op-
erative organization, correctly design-
ed mills, proximity to raw materials
and to markets. Based upon these
facts it is logical to conclude that Tex
as affords an attractive field for cotton
textile mill development.”
The Chamber of Commerce is spon-
soring a move for expansion of the
textile industry In the state.

Abilene. Sept. 19.—-Tom Ross, cat-
t'ciinn, tried here for the murder of
Horace L. Roberson, inspector of the
Texas Cattle Raisers’ Association, was
found guilty Tuesday night and his
punishment set at twenty years’ im-
prisonment after the jury had deliber-
ated for ninety-five hours.
The verdict halted proceedings in
the trial of Milt Good, who was charg-
ed by indictment jointly with Ross in
the murder of Robertson. Shortly be-
fore 9 o’clock Judge W. R. Ely, presid-
ing, was notified that the Jury in the
Ross case was ready to report. Ross
was brought into the courtroom and
the verdict was read at 9:02 o’clock
by District Clerk J. K. Fuller.
was divulged in reports to the Gover-
nor.
L. A. Boyd, president of the State
Board .n/Convict Supervisors, in a re-
port to the Governor, assumed respon-
sibility for the floggings at Banner.
The report to the Governor said that
the men were flogged in the presence
of Dr. Blair, camp doctor, and Mr.
Boyd.
Prisoners at the mine were quoted
by newspaper men as saying tasks
were made impossible because of rock
in the seam, that food was poor and
that men were forced to work when
they should have been on the sick
list. This, the prisoners said, caused
the outbreak.

blessings bestowed on mankind.

REGISTERED OPTOMETRIST
By Associated Tress
Washington, Sept. 19.—The presi-
dential primary, now the vogue in a
full score of states, not only has be-
come the bug-bear of many old fash-
ioned political bosses, but is also ac-
complishing the rout of the time hon-
ored practice of delaying the an-
nouncement of candidates until the
last possible moment. Today in many
states, candidates must climb down
off the fence many weeks before the
national conventions, and say whether
thev will or won’t.
The beginning of the 1924 primary
season now is a bare six months away
and the filing of papers required of
candidates in many cases already has
become a burning question among
those who cannot decide whether they
hear a commanding popular call for
their services in publia office. Such
decisions must be made much earlier
than in times gone by, and as a con-
sequence of the spread of the primary
system the next few weeks are ex-
pected to see the crop of candidates
reach a stage much more advanced
than the average for pre-presidential
years in the past.
The first primary, that in New
Hampshire, will be held March 11.
North Dakota will follow a week later,
and seven additional states, controlling
some of the largest delegations that
sit in national conventions, will have
voted before the end of April. Here is
the full list of those having presiden-
tial primary laws, with the dates for
the primary elections of all parties:
California, Tuesday, May 6.
Florida. Tuesday, June 3.
Georgia, to be fixed by state com-
mittees.
Illinois, Tuesday, April 8.
Indiana, Tuesday, May 6.
Maryland, Monday, May 5.
Massachusetts, Tuesday, April 29.
Michigan, Monday, April 7.
Montana, Tuesday May 27.
Nebraska, Tuesday, April 15.
New Jersey, Tuesday, April 22.
New Hampshire, Tuesday, March 11,
North Carolina, Saturday, June 7.
North Dakota, Tuesday, March 18.
Ohio, Tuesday, April 29.
Oregon, Friday, May 16.
Pennsylvania, Tuesday, April 22.
South Dakota, Tuesday, May 27.
West Virginia, Tuesday, May 27.
Wisconsin, Tuesday, April 1.
The presidential primary law of
Florida does not apply to a party poll-
ing less than 35 per cent of the total
vote In the previous general election.
This eliminates the Republican party
from a presidential primary and leaves
its delegates to be chosen by conven-
tion in that state.
