A local newspaper, if it de-
serves the name, is more of a
factor in the progress of a com-
munity than any other institu-
tion. Certainly, there are many
other lines of business that re-
quire the investment of more
capital, but not one of them but
is in some meas-ire indirectly
dependent upon the newspaper.
Every issue of the paper tells a
week's history, speaks of what
can, may or will be done in the
future, chronicles the success of
the past, and its visit is looked
forward to in hundreds of homes.
It keeps an interest alive in the
community and its institutions
year in and year out and on this
interest do other lines of busi-
ness prosper. Oftentimes, in
their prosperity, the few fscts
above set out are lost sight of,
and in some cases the money ex-
pended with s psper is regarded
more in the light of a charitable
donation than as a business in
vestment. The day of retro-
gression has dawned for the firm
that believes this, and sooner or
later it will go down before the
onward trend of progress. The
paper but mirrors to the world
the business caliber of its town.
Cotton went to 12>i cents on
the local market last week and
as a result a large percentage of
the cotton termed to be in a
distressed state was sold. By
distressed is meant on which
something had been borrowed.
Mow, if the fellow who has cot-
ton that is not distressed, but
who owes bis local merchant
will turn loose enough to re-
lieve the letter's distress, there
will be no kicking even if the
balance of the crop ia held for
20 cents. It is not right to bold
cotton snd stand off obligations
at the same time. The man
wbo extended tbe accommoda-
tion may be paying interest
himself. Certain it ia that if be
collected bis outstanding obliga-
tions, be could make tbe money
earn interest, if be did not want
to invest it in new goods.

Tbst tbe srticle referred to
waa given apace in tbia paper
meana that, in our opinion, it
waa an able one on a very inter-
esting subject, and tbe sugges-
tions therein contained, if heed-
ed, of value. That is was cred-
ited at all shows an intent to
tote fair," and probably tbe
omission of due credit was an
inadvertence on tbe part of tbe
Timea. Or, mayhap, because
we see so many good things in
tbe "Sanctum Sights" column of
that paper, we overlooked tbe
fact some of tbem are copied.
A meeting of tbe .Business
Men'a League scbeduled for
last Thursday waa called in on
account of tbe very blustery
weather that prevailed at tbe
time. The meeting will, bow-
ever, occur at a later date, wben
it is hoped that tbe member*
abip will turn out in full. A
number of things tbat are for
tbe general good are to be con-
aidered, aome of tbem vital to
tbe city's interest, and no citi-
zen wbo bas tbe welfare of tbe
town at heart should remaio
away, if it is possible for bim to
be present.
Tbe Texas ben is producing
a crop from year to year, tbe
value of which if tbe figures
were obtainable, is in excess of
tbst of tbe cotton crop, and
this without being specialized.
Ten acres in hens properly
cared for will yield more tbe
year round than double tbe
number in cotton. There is no
better poultry country on earth
than rigbt around Caldwell.

MID-WINTER ARRIVALS
Three or four good boga are
worth more than a bale of cot-
ton. Which costs tbe most to
put on tbe market? Usually tbe
land devoted to tbe cotton, if
put in corn or goobers, will pro-
duce sufficient feed for a dozen
bogs. Tbe labor of making
tbe feed is infinitly less than de
voted to the staple, and tbe
chances of failure far less.
A grasp of tbe band or a dol
lar bill given at tbe rigbt time
often does more good than
thousand sent to the bureau of
charities (good though it is).
You, and you only, are the one
to help at certain times. There
is a magnetism in direct giving
tbat often puts new heart into
tbe member of tbe "Down and
Out" club.
Wben a man fails to think
tbat bis home town is the best
town of its size in tbe country
it is time for bim to seek another
location.
Diversification means less
failures, both in farming and
mercantile lines.
If tbe farmer will grow a few
more crops on the same acreage,
and devote less land to cotton,
be will soon be on a cash basis,
and it will not be necessary to
' mortgage his tools and team to
get supplies from season to
season. It will suit tbe mer-
chant far better, too, for what
man bad not rather sell for cash
than on credit? It will suit him
better, too, not to have to ask
for a mortgage. Tbe way tbe
Hatter now stands, he must ask
it in many cases to protect him-
self. If be disposes of bis wares
bs must bsve something to show
for tbem. If be cannot show
money be must show its equiva-
lent.

Sully Expects a Great Boom
New York, Jan. 18.—In an in-
terview with the New York
Commercial, D. J. Sully is quoted
as sayingi
"I am certainly very bullish on
cotton. I am buying cotton and
will continue to buy. I was
asked by certain interests if 1
could do certain things and I
thought that I could. I am now
going to do tbem. Tbe interests
1 represent are strong enough
to support all transactions.
"As I view it, there will never
be a more bullish cotton situation.
The answer to the question as
to what cotton is worth is to be
found in tbe prices which the
world will pay for cotton. Every
man wbo knows anything about
cotton knows tbat futures have
all this season been away down
under spots. No one in 15 years
ever knew tbe situation that has
been existing all this season
with tbe consumers of the world
paying such a ridiculously high
premium over tbe futures for
tbe real stuff. It is now down
to a three-cornered fight for tbe
cotton tbat ia left between tbe
apinners of tbe north, tbe spin-
ners of tbe south, and the foreign
spinners. Tbe American spin-
ners have held back and allowed
tbe foreigners to get tbe best of
tbe crop, but even with all they
have, the foreigners are buying
just as eagerly as ever. The
American mills have no cotton.
The northern mills particularly
are in bad shape—they have no
stocks at all. Tbe cotton that
is wanted is not in the south, so
that it is not a question of the
farmers holding cotton; it is a
question of the cotton which the
mills need not being there to
bold.
"I am not going to attempt to
say at this time how high I ex-
pect cotton to go; but I am more
than confident tbat it will go
very high."

Spot Houses Baying
Nicw York Jan. 18.—Tbe cot-
ton market was in a very active
and excited condition today, with
more business tban for any day
in months past and aentiment is
extremely favorable to an ad-
vance in prices. The report that
Daniel Sully bad embarked on a
campaign to move up prices ap-
peared to have a strong effect on
local quotations, which advanced
$2.50 per bale since the low level
of yenterday morning.
Tbe opening today was ñrm
at an advance of 11 to 22 pointa.
There was heavy realizing, but
tbe offering were absorbed by
a rush of buying orders, appar-
ently from all sections, and after
s slight reaction tbe market ad-
vanced again. Spot cotton houses
are heavy buyers here.
