TO MAINTAIN NOT .
CONSTRUCT ROADS.
Austin Sept. 25. The State
Highway Commission has noti-
fied county judges county com-
missioners and county engineers
that when the commission on
Jan. 1 1924 takes over mainte-
nance of designated State high-
ways no extensive improve-
ments either in quality or type
will be made upon any road by
the maintenance organization
"for the reason that the funds
provided are jnasHcient to make
such improvjirtaKt a part of
maintenance ktA aiUl have suf-
ficientfunds to nue assisting
those progiwssivo counties that
have voted bond 'issues in build-
ing their roads."
The commission also advised
that there is reason to believe
that in a unmbcr of counties the
commissioners' courts are not ex
pending their respective por-
tions of the motor vehicel fees in
maintaining the designated Sta-
te highways but are neglecting
the maintenance ot such high-
ways in anticipation that the
Highway commission will on Jan
1 do the necessary maintenance
work which the commissioners'
courts have so far failed to do.
In these counties the commission
will only maintain the roads in
as good condition as they may
be in when taken over Jan. 1
next.
NUECES COUNTY GROWS
100000 BALES COTTON.
Corpus Christi Sept. 19.
Although most of the cotton in
the western section of Nueces
still remains a good deal of cot
ton in tne unscou community
to be picked according to J. W.
Fanchier of the Matamora1? dis-
trict who was in the city this
week on business.
Mr. Fanchier is one of the cot-
ton growers of Nueces county
who predicted that the final gin-
ning figures 6f the county this
year would show between 90-
000 and 100000 bales. When
Mr. Fanchier made his estimate
at the start of the summer many
persons scouted the idea but the
total of more than 86000 bales
which had been ginned up to
last Saturday night would indi-
cate that Mr. Fanchier was cor-
rect when he said that Nueces
county would gin more than
100000 bales this season.
According to County Commit
sioner Ernest Barkley of Bish-
op there still is about 2000
bales in the Bishop area to be
gathered. Rains the last two
weeks have retarded the final
picking of cotton in that section.

HORSE RACES TO
BE BIG COTTON
PALACE FEATURE
Some of Finest and Speediest Horse
Flesh In Country to Compete
For Big Prizes
Waco Texas. The announce-
ment by Chairman Ralph Mc-
Lendon of the racing commit-
tee of the 1923 Cotton Palace
that Horse racing will again be
featured at the exposition this
year for the first time since
1917 is good news to the many
horse racing fans of the South-
west as well as others who
have never experienced the
thrill of "seeing the ponies go"
but who will be enabled to view
this exciting sport for the first
time.
Horse racing is still the king
of all dirt track speed events
as is proven by the great inter-
est taken in this diversion in
Kentucky and England where
this is the chief of all forms of
sport.
Six years ago the last horse
race on the Cotton Palace oval
was held at the exposition in
the fall of 1917 and attracted
greater crowds than had ever
before witnessed a race in Tex-
as. This year 1923 will be
even greater in horse racing
than 1917 or any previous year
in which the animals have been
brought to Waco because the
finest of all horse flesh will be
brought to the great exposition
from October 20 to November
4 and attending crowds will
have the privilege of witness-
ing races equal to the great
derbies which have made the
English sport world noted.
The handsome purses offered
this year at the greatest Cot-
ton Palace which has ever yet
been staged have already at-
tracted many of the fastest
steeds of the southwest and
notices that others will be en-
tered are coming in daily to the
racing headquarters.
The horse races will be but
another thrill of the many fea-
tures which combined will
make up the greatest exposition
this part of the country has
yet witnessed.

est livestock shows of the

poses invaluable to the breed-
er of fancy stock.
