OF INTEREST TO
TEXAS GIN MEN
.The following lett«*r, which is of
interest to glnners and cotton hand-
lers In all sections of Hip country, is
IteitiK nent. to winners throughout
the state, and is fully explanatory:
Galveston, Tex., July To the
Cotton dinners of Texas anil Okla-
homa: About 15 years ago the
"Texas bale" was in sin It bad repute,
owing to Its irregular size, ragged
condition and slovenly appearance,
that a vigorous campaign was inaug-
urated by the Galveston Maritime
Association for the adoption of the
standard 24x54 inch gin box and
ihe use of better bagging and ties.
Great good was accomplished and
better prices were realized for Tex-
as cotton than ever before lower
Irelght rotes were secured and there
were fewer claims for so-called
"Country Da,mage."
In recent years great, laxity has
been noticed in the observance of
what Is admitted by all to be rea-
sonable rules for the care of cotton.
Claims for so-called "Country Dam-
ago" have been filed against the
steamships :>t all foreign ports, and
legal decisions of the highest courts
in Europe and in this country have
made it Imperative that active steps
he taken at. once to put cotton in
better condition before the new sea-
son movement begins. Meetings
were lield in Now Orleans, April 15
and May 15; Atlanta, June 25, and
a final conference is to be held in
New York on .Inly 15, to take the
steps ne^eBsary to protect those who
aro Innocent but are made to suffer
Ihe penalties Imposed because of the
carelessness, indifference or ignor-
ance of such as are responsible for
the conditions complained of
This iR respectfully to request,
and urge that you arrange to have
the size of your gin box made
lilx-VI inches.
Furthermore, in order to avoid
claims for "Country Damage" at
foreign ports the cotton bales will
have to be covered thoroughly with
good bagging, sides, ends, tQp and
bottom.
It is recognized as an absolute
necessity that the irregular sized
boxes must be eliminated, and there
is no doubt that those interested,
and who are now paying the losses,
will take steps to protect ihemselves
during the coming season, either by
imposing a penalty against the ir-
regular &t>d unwieldly bales, or by
quoting freight rates that will cover
the risk and then offer inducements
for the standard sized and properly
covered bales. Yours very truly,
J. S. KERR.
Secretary Maritime Committee.

R. A. Crank, wilt begin within a
few days the erection of an extensive
addition to his home situated in the
western limits of our city. R. A. is
one of the most successful farmers of
of our vicinity having but recently,,
threshed and put away In the grain-
ary over 3,000 bushels of wheat and
quite naturally feels that he is en-
titled to more of the comforts of
life, for self and family, realizing
that we can pass tills way but once.
Among those going from here to
Celina Saturday to hear Gov. Col-
quitt tell his constituency why he
thought he ought to be retained In
the gubernatorial chair for another
term, we noted Hon. Mack Smith,
W. B. Chapman, and Jefferson John-
son. All who favored the speaking,
seemed well pleased with the ac-
count he gave of his stewardship,
and those opposing—more firmly
convinced than ever before of the
necessity of relegating him to the
shades of private life without delay.
Man, being convinced against his
will Is of the same opinion still.
Wheat threshing is progressing
splendidly throughout our section,
having bad no rain to interfere foe
over two weeks. About one more
week of fair weather being all that
is necessary to garner the largest
wheat crop ever grown in West Col-
lin. Providence certainly has smiled
upon us this good year of 1012, and
when we compare present conditions
with those existing only about twelve y
months ago, It would seem thnt It
would be only right and proper that,
a prayer from every heart should
ascend in thankfulness and praise,
to the Father of All, for this addi-
tional evidence of His goodness and
mercy.
