Little Cotton Sold
Reports from over Williamson
county indicate that most of the
cotton has been feathered, though
much is being held.
At this point there has been
about 8200 bales of cotton picked
and about 5000 marketed.
In the Cedar Park section 560
bales have been picked and 215
reported sold.
From Jonah comes a report of
2000 pales picked, of which
only 400 have been marketed.
Liberty Hill has a record of
3600 bales, sixty per cent of
which is either held or stored.
At Circleville about one-half
of the crop has been ginned
and marketed. The tenant far-
mers say that at the prevailing
prices they can not afford to
gather the cotton that still re-
mains in the field.
At Round Rock about 3750
bales have been picked, of which
1775 have been marketed.
Three States Go Dry.
Chicago, Nov. 4. Three of
the six states that voted oh the
liquor question decided to retain
saloons, while the other three on
latest returns have embraced
prohibition.
Ohio, California and Washing-
ton voted in favor of retaining
saloons, while the result is in
doubt in Colorado, Oregon and
Arizona. Unofficial returns show
that saloons in Arizona were
voted out, the women aiding ma-
terially in the result.
The vjote on saloons in Colora-
do is so close that the result is in
doubt, but prohibitionists say
that later returns from farming
counties will doom saloons.
Belton District Court
Amendments Defeated
Dallas, Nov. 4. All constitu-
tional amendments were defeat-
ed in Texas yesterday. They
were the initiative, referendum
and recall; increasing pay ot
state legislators and permitting
counties to build sea walls.
Very few election places held
the proposed straw yote on cot
ton acreage reduction. Of less
than a score of such points re
porting, the vote was a little
over two to one in favor of some
sort of reduction, but the total
vote was negligible. The pro-
gressive vote was greatly re-
duced throughout Texas.
Farmer Held Up
Taylor, Nov. 2. A highway-
man held up and robbed White
Gardner, a farmer living in the

his hands. He then relieved
Gardner of $10, all the money he
had on his person. Officers are
seeking the bandit.
