These words of Jerlmlah Black
will explain the action of the Demo-
cratic party in Pennsylvania In
nominating Mr. Emery, a Republi-
can for governor, over State Sena-
tor DeWalt, a life-long Democrat:
"When public sentiment brings a
Democratic convention to name a
Republican at the head of the tick-
et, Is Is simply Impossible to meas-
ure the depth of public feeling In
this question. The people have tir-
ed of the regime of bosslsm and cor-
ruption. They demanded Emery
and they got him."

the American cigarette is worse
than tinned meat. We believe this
is true, and yet we think he used
about the strongest language we ev-

The Collin county farmer needs
good roads more than he needs
rain, and the McKlnney citizen
needs paved streets more than he
needs railroads, and that is putting
it pjretty strong in both cases.
Over at Whltewrlght a few days
ago, in the joint discussion be-
tween Barrett and Randell. Barrett
made Randell a proposition to throw
away his passes, if he, (Randell)
would throw away his watch, which
was a present from friends. Bar-
rett, then acknowledges that he
rode on free passes, and that too,
while making a campaign for con-
gress and fighting the free pass

confession is good for the soul.—

Mr. Barrett has never denied rid-
ing on free passes, any more than
Mr. Randell denies that the line
watch he wears was given him by
the liquor men of Denison and
Sherman for the fight he made
against prohibition In Grayson
county. Mr. Randell acknowledges
this, and that, too, when he is mak-
ing a race for congress and claim-
ing to fight battles in congress for
the prohibitionists,—Bonham News.

an idea that a newspaper has noth-

In his speech at Pilot Point on
June 29th, Judge Brooks, candi-
date for Governor, denied that
Governor Hogg, prior to his death,
had written a letter stating that he
was for Hotf. Turn M. Campbell for
Governor, saying that Governor
Hogg had declined to write such a
letter, and challenged the Campbell
men to produce the letter, leaving
the Impression that Governor Hogg
was for him, Brooks.
That the truth may be known as
to this matter, the following letter
and affidavit is submitted:
Houston. Texas, May 17, '0.r>.—
Mr. W. P. Cameron, Atlanta, Tex.
Dear Sir: Replying to yours of the
12th, I beg to say that it is a very
long time in advance of a legitimate
campaign to discuss who should he
the next Governor of Texas. Any
campaign that Is opened a yenr be-
fore the election is too early, and
should not be encouraged. For my
part, I am unequivocally for Tom
Campbell for Governor and believe
he would make an excellent one In
all respects. With kindest regards
and best wishes.
Very truly yours.
J. S. HOGG.
I. W. P. Cameron, do solemly
swear that the above Is a true and
correct copy of a letter received by
me through the mail from Ex-Gov-
ernor J. S. Hogg before his death,
and that t&e same was in reply to a
letter written to him by me the 12th
day of May, 1905, asking his views
as to the prospective candidates for
Governor,
W. P. CAMERON.
Sworn to and subscribed before
me, D. Hallday, Not a-/ Public In
and for Cass County, Tens. on. this
2nd day of July, A. D. 1900.
(seal) D. Hallday,
Notary Public, Cass County, Texas.
Mr. Cameron Is a gentleman of
high standing whose veracity will
not be questioned by any one who
knows him. He has the original
letter of which the above Is an ex-
act copy as shown by his affidavit.
Whilst Col. Campbell was a
strong supporter of Governor Hogg
he felt that In so doing he only did
his duty as a citizen and democrat
and arks no support from the people
by reason of the same, but Is mak-
ing this race strictly oi his own
merit and fitness for the position.
The letter from Governor Hogg
with the affidavit of Mr. Cameron
attached is published solely for the
purpose of refuting the statement
in Judge Brooks' speech and to the
end that the facts may be known lo
the people.

HarvM J I'd* i prj.ildmt of the
Southern Cotton AsiooUtlon, .vlies
us i< .lows aoout muting jw;m * from
cotton stalk fibre.
^he man i''i.vj:n of pirM f'fin
the cotton stalk Is one of the latest
and most interesting Inventions of
the new century. For many years
expert Inventors have been busily
engaged experimenting with the cot-
f ton stalk, and It now appears from
recent developments that their la-
bors and expenditures of money are
to be rewarded with signal and strik-
ing success. Not only have these
Investigations passed the experiment
al stage, but they are rapidly being
shaped to be pluced Into practical
operation. It has been unquestion-
ably demonstrated that all grades
of paper, from the best form of linen
grade to the lowest, can be manu-
factured from the cotton stalks. In
addition to this, a variety of by-pro-
ducts, such as alcohol, nitrogen, ma-
terial for gun cotton and smokeless
powder, can be scured In paying
nuantltles. The time Is not now far
distant when paper plants equipped
with all modern machinery and de-
vices or making paper and the uti-
lization of the other byproducts re-
ferred to will be built and placed in
operation throughout the cotton-
growing stales of the South. The
establishment of these mills for thi*
manufacture of paper from cotton
staks will at once develop a new In-
dustry of quite enormous propor-
tions and Institute the utilization of
a waste product which at the pres-
ent time has comparatively little or
no value. It will prove the entering
wedge of checking the present in-
creasing cost of paper, which is be-
coming such a burden upon the
newspaper industry of the country.
It is estimated thaton an era of
land producing a bale of cotton at
least one ton of stalks can be gath-
ered. I'pon this basis of calculation
this new Industry can annually de-
pend upon from 10,000,u00 to 12,-
000,000 tons of raw material. This
will not only furnish necessary sup-
plies to meet all home demands, but
also permit of the export of pulp
or finished products to foreign coun-
tries. At the present time there
is approximately $287,000,000 In-
vested in paper mills In the United
States, with but few plants located
in the South. The bulk of the ma-
terial going into the manufacture of
paper at the present time is spruce
pine, and which is annually becom-
ing more expensive In the depletion
of the forests and the high prices
which stuh timber commands In the
markets for other uses. The utiliza-
tion of a waste product such as the
cotton stalk, manufactured into
commercial paper, will be a boon of
inestimable value to the whole coun-
try.
The practical effect of this new
invention will be to increase the
present value of the South's cotton
crop nearly floO.OOO.OOO annually.
The growers will be amply rewarded
for the expense of removing the
stalks from their fields and delivery
to the paper plants, and in addition
there to receive a profit on this prod
net of their labor. In the southwest-
ern section of the cotton belt the
new industry will especially be of
value and a blessing. With the re-
moval of the cotton stalks from the
fields In the early fall the death
knell of the boll wevll will be sound-
ed and Its present devastating In-
fluences reduced to a minimum. So
that from every standpoint the
speedy development and extension of
this new industry will be welcomed
In all sections of the cotton belt.
Paper manufactured from the cotton
stalk is of the strongest texture and
softest finish. It is reported that
several plants will be erected during
the next few months In certain sec-
tions of the South which will be In
full operation by January 1, 1907.
