The “first bales” are bringing 15c
per pound and better, besides substan-
tial premiums. Several Texas towns
received their first bale of cotton yes-
terday.
Ilad you noticed that nice, fresh
eggs are getting higher than the pro-
verbial ‘Vat's back?” It Is predicted
that these eggs will bring .Tic to 4<><-
dozen during September and Oe-
tol«er. This Is because no eggs but ab-
solutely sound eggs are permitted to
Ik- sold, and they uri^iibout as cheap
us under the old plan of buying stale
eggs alottg with the good ones. Inci-
dentally, the farmer who has a flock
of laying Jieus Is getting some easy
money these days.
by a thread,” that Is, they are merely
existing, and Just why they stay In
town when they could go to the coun-
try and make a good living for them-
selves and family. Is one of the un-
solved problems of the universe. The
man or the organisation who can at-
tract these |wople to the country will
have accomplished a great deal for
the human race.
KO.\l)S THAT ENDl RE.
The Democrat hopes to See the Gray-
sou County Old Settlers’ Association
build a large auditorium b.v next year.
There Is another prnitosition that
should be considered. The great men
of Texas, lailitlctU speakers anil others,
should lie InvlteU to^ecURTto .Sherman
each year and discuss matters of pub-
lic Interest. Tills Is the one opiiortun-
Ity that the people have every year to
hear the state's ablest men, and the
rule that has heretofore barred ixilitl-
eal discussions should be abolished and
men of all political faith, who are able
to do so In an able and intelligent man-
ner, should be Invited to speak.
It Is more than likely that prohibi-
tion elections will lie held in the coun-
ties of which Dallas, Fort Worth,
Houston and Waco are the county
seats. North Texas people who use
Dallas as a trading point are growing
weary of the saloon business in that
city and would he glad to see them
closed up. The same sentiment no
doubt exists among the people contin-
gent to other big Texas cities. The
elimination of the saloon and the driv-
ing out of the worthless and dangerous
characters that hang around cities
where there are saloons would be the
biggest thing that could happen to
Texas.
The Democrat Is In receipt of a
copy of the Denison Labor Journal. It
is well printed, well edited paper.
Mr. Haley, the editor. Is an able news-
paper man, and stands high In labor
circles.
The child labor bill passed the sen-
ate by a vote of 52 to 12. The twelve
who voted against It are Southerners,
and more is the shame. The house
had already passed the bill and It will
no doubt become a law*. Both Senators
Culberson and Sheppard voted for It.
For this both of them are to be heart-
ily commended.
The old settlers of Grayson county
are here in large numbers, and many
have come from distant points to again
meet friends of former days. They are
indeed welcome to Sherman, and the
people of this city are glad to have
them here and hoi>c this Is to be one of
the happiest meetings in the history of
the county.
The prohibitionists have put out a
state ticket in Texas. Dr. H. W. Lewis
of Dallas was nominated for governor
and natioual prohibition and woman
suffrage endorsed. Other nominations
are: E. II. Conlbear of Dallas for
United States Senator, Dr. J. A. Rich-
ardson of Seymour for lieutenant-gov-
ernor; I. E. Teague of Whltewrlght
and E. G. Cook of Wichita Falls for
eongressmen-at-large; J. L, McFarland
of Pilot Point for state treasurer; J.
E. Liuquist of Cross Plains for railroad
commissioner, Oscar Hudson of Ham-
lin for suerluteudent of public instruc-
tion, H. L. Wlnchell of Cisco for land
commissioner, L. M. Hewlt of Bryan
for eomptrolled and L. J. Winters of
Woodaboro, commissioner of agricul-
ture. An active campaign will be made
and an effort, will be put forth to get
out the largest possible prohibition vote
in the November election.
Seventy years ago the Military road
running along the Texas bunk of the
Rio Grande, was built by the army
of General Znchary Taylor. It was
a military necessity to haul supplies
for his soldier*. Today, that road
stands as one of the best known roads
In Texas. Throughout the world an1
found specimens of the most durable
roads which were contrasted In cen-
turies past by the armies of conquer-
ing generals. Although the power of
the conquerors has waned long since,
and the empire* which they builded
have crumbled, the roads endure to
the present day as a living monument
to their genius and toil. And now,
city of Brownsville, It seems, is to re-
ceive every substantial assistance of
n similar nature from the army which
is occupying Its environs. General
Parker has notified the etty govern
nient that he will furnish the men
and the trucks necessary for the con
struotion of gravelled streets through
various parts of the city yet unpro-
vided with paved roadways, especially
those leading to the various camp
sites.—Brownsville Herald.

Announcement Is made by P. B.
Rodgers, immigration agent for the
Texas & Pacific, that every two weeks
from now on his road will bring in
quite a bunch of prospectors from Mis-
souri, Iowa and Illinois. Texas has
much territory that is practically un-
occupied, and of course the more land
that Is put in cultivation the more
lieople the land trill sustain. In every

This election will he watched with
more than passing interest.—Sherman
Democrat.
How about Villa and his followers?
Are they going to vote by mall?—
Austin American.
Villa being an outlaw doubtless
will not be permitted to vote, and his
followers are presumably in the same
classification.
Over in Hunt county a man was ad-
judged insane and was cast in jail
and died. Governor Ferguson says he
is going to take the insane out. of the
jails of Texas If It takes $500,000 to
do It. We will he perfectly willing
to raise the limit to $1,000,000 if it
takes tt, but no insane person should
ever be put in jail.—Sherman Demo-
crat. |
Governor Ferguson is making good
his promises and in this case he is
doubly anxious to see- conditions im-
proved.—Austin Statesman.
Swift & Co., the big meat packers,
have set aside $2,000,000 for penslbtfi
for their working -people, Henry
Ford’s example is living emulated
throughout the country, and. the
working man who ties up with the re-
sponsible corporations and sticks to
his job will indeed have a Job for
life, for lie will lie given work as
long as he lives and is able, to do a
man’s work, und in his old age will be
pensioned. This system is growing
and it is right that it should grow.
Sherman iK-mocrat.
Sometimes State Press is afraid ho
is an unorthodox democrat. At least
lie not infrequently wishes conditions
could be such as to assure to every
old nnrfi and old woman a (tension suf-
ficient to make their last few years
decently secure against hunger ami
exposure to the elements. Of course
if every man knew; that his old age
would lie provided for in the form of
a pension, many would not be in-
clined to thrift In their productive
years. But many are not so inclined
as it is. Also, if every young man
were confident of his place to eat anil
a bed to sleep on after his sixty-fifth
year, lie might try to drink up as
much liquor as possible beforehand.
But many do that anyhow. When, In
the reformatory years just before
the outbreak of the irresent war, the
old age pension plan was Inaugurated
lir England, it is said that the aged
