GIVE COTTON
AS A BONUS
To Cotton Mills to Establish
Them In the Cotton Grow-
ing Belt
The following valuable suggestion of
how to dispose of the surplus cotton is
made by Mr Thos J Dobbs of Chand-
ler Toxas who by the way is the
father of Mossrs C E N J and John
Dobbs of this city Mr Dobbs says
Suppose tho people holding this
surplus cotton would abandon the idea
of burning it and absolutely donate it
towit tbo surplus to men who would
build factories in our midst say 2000 to
0000 bales as the case may be to each
factory with the understanding that
this cotton donated shall be manufac-
tured in the factory to which It was
donated This would give the cotton
raiser a market at his door for all the
cotton raised and a means for building
up the South It seems to mo that tho
surplus cotton would build a factory in
overy congressional district in tho
South and make tho Southern people
the most independent peoplo on the
globe It does seem that if this conld
be accomplished the cotton gamblers
would be out of a job and cease to es-
tablish the price of cotton in advance
of its being made This would enable
tho producer to get a fair and living
price for his cotton at his door And
who would attempt to say that the
present crop remaining in the hands
of the producer would not take care
of itself Now to say the least it is
worthy the consideration of overy man
who is engaged in tho cultivation or in
any way benefited by tho production
of cotton
The Galveston News in commenting
on Mr Dobbs suggestions says in
part
If tho peoplo throughout the
South would follow tho advico of Mr
Dobbs and dovoto their surplus cotton
to a multiplication of cotton mills call
ing in tho assistance of their lucky
neighbors who sold at a good price and
who have tho money to carry out it
v r edTUia old
the cotton raiser would be largely
done awaythe South would sell at a
good price tho finished product and
enjoy the profits and tho Southern
people would Indeed become the most
independent peoplo on tho globe
Surely there can bo needed no better
argument than tho readers of tho News
have found in recent reports of the
mills at Waxahachio and other points
in Texas read in connection with the
annual accounts concerning the new
life which the busy factorios have giv-
en to tho Carolinas and to other
Southern states

VALUABLE TRAIN
SERYICE RUMORED
Claims That the I G N R R
Will Put On a Through Train
From Houston to Dallas
Two days ago the Courier published
a statement made to our reporter by a
traveling man to the effect that Col
Trice of the I G N railroad was
arranging to put on a passenger train
from Houston to Dallas via Palestine
Tyler and Mineola to Dallas using tho
Texas Pacific track from Mineola to
Dallas
Yesterday Maj Hampson Gary said
he had heard the same information
from what ho considered a reliable
source The citizens of Tyler and es-
pecially its professional and business-
men are greatly rejoiced over the re-
port Every citizen in Tyler so far as
we have heard an expression is ear-
nestly desirous that the I G N do
this very thing One merchant said
ho stood ready to give that road his
entiro business if the train was put on
and he is ono of tho largest railroad
patrons In this half of Texas If Col
Trico will put on this train our citizens
will give him almost anything he could
ask for They need such an outlet and
connection and they need it badly
Our citizens say it would be one of
tho best patronized trains in Texas
Tyler Courier
The same rumor is published by the
Dallas papers and Dallas also wants
tho train There is no doubt bnt what
sncli a train would be ono of the most
popular ones ever inaugurated by the
Texas Road It would be a most im-
portant schedule to Palestine and her
traveling public and it is hoped the
report is not mere rumor
