In spite of all injunctions Nac
ogdoches county has gone dry.
For the first time since 1822
Nacogdoches is without whiskey,
and they say the old town is as
dry as a. powder house.
Raleigh, N. C, by a good ma-
jority, lias voted out her saloons
and declared in favor of a single
dispensary for whiskey.
To those vho intend to be can-
didates for political honors next

tra charges for the "ohirp" of

Belton is getting hor fall quota
of cotton. Some days tho prices

If our information is correct,
the expected has happened and
wo would like for you to remem-
ber, "we told you so."' Some
wqeks since a number of our cit-
izens sent ordois for groceries
and other things to dealers at a
distance, and after a long wait
the goods ordered arrived. In
each instance expressions of dis-
appointment and dlsatisfaction
is heard. Spices from ago or
other cause had lost its spiciness
and extracts their flavor, orders
were filled wrong and chaos reign-
ed. As matters stand there is no
"take it back" or exchange. Cast
it aside, lose your money and do
without or deal with your home
merchant. The moral to this
story needs no pointing out.
Granger Times.
The Star is informed that mer
chants in a neighboring city are
already notifying their farmer
friends ttat they will not carry
them another year and that if
they expect to get along they
must plant something besides cot-
ton. The boll weeyil has put
cotton in such a ffx that they say
they can't feed tho farmers out
of the stores any longer waiting
till the end of the year and tak-
ing their chances on ruined crops.
This policy will in tne end prove
a fine thing both for farmer and
merchant. Nothing else will
choke tho farmer away from all
cotton. Cuero Star.

J. II. t.o!s la Houston Post.
A fourteen-year-old boy died
of starvation in Montgomery, Ala.,
this week; he could not find work!
What words can palliate a state of
affairs under such a tragedy is
possible? A little boy a mere
child--who should this morning
bo trudging off to school with his
b loks under his arm and happiness
in his heart, lusty of limb and rosy
of check from th long playfilled
vacation, lies dead on a slab in the
morgue dead of starvation! The
childish 'imbs and the cheeks arc
shrunken. Want, and Woe, and
Famine, have fed thereon until
they could feed no more! What
think you, was that child's idea of
the world? You who played be-
neath the apple-laden boughs in
the old orchard; you who across
the years still see the smiling
slopes, hear the laughing brooks,
and smell the fields of clover of
your own happy childhood? You
who kisr the rosy happy checko
of your boys and girl this mor-
ning ere they start for school?
What are you doing for the world
anynow? Are you your brother's
keeper to any extent at all? Or art
you nerves too delicate to per-
mit of your going into the byways
where unpleasant sights and
where suffering and hunger are?
Last June we saw a beautiful
girl, prett ly gowned, with the hue
of health in her beautiful cheeks
of seventeen years of gladness
fairly scintillating from her bhie
eyes; she was a graduate a sweet
girl graduate if ever there was one.
She delivircd an oration which be-
gan: "in the present stage of civ-
iliztion ." Memory does not bring
back all of the oration which -was
well conceived and well delivcred-
but it showed that "in the present
stage of civilization" the world
looked to ner. Want, and woe,.
and Famint." She did not know
that they existcd--and she was
happy; her friends kissed her and
she was fairly smothered in beau-
tiful blossoms. Her father is a
working man; the happiness to
his family, a family of five, is ac-
hieved on less than $ioo a month
less than $20 a month for eacli
person. Yet when so little would
have clothed, fed and made happy
this little boy, and even while our
young lady was lauding "The pre-
sent stage of civilization" this
other child was being pulled down
to his death by the gaunt wolf of
starvation. We look into the
shining eyes of the girl and are
glad; may she always be as happy!
But the reverse side of the picture!
The little boy! Heart hungry for
play and for love! Starved because
his baby hands could not find.
work.
Truly there is a screw loose
somewhere "in the present stage of
civilization.
F. L. Richter, a practical far-
mer of Cuero, Texas, who this
season raised nineteen bales of
cotton on oighteon acres of land,
situated in the midst of other
cotton fields which werj devas-
tated by tho cotton boll weevil,
lias put in his claim to tho State
boll weevil committee for tho
850,000, which is to bo paid by
tho State to the person who de-
vises a successful and practical
method of exterminating the boll
weevil. Mr. Richter has abun-
dant proof that tho method whioh
ho used on tho eighteen acres
eradicated tho boll woeui and
enabled him to grow a good yield
of cotton. He desires that the
boll weevil commission make a
thorough test of tho secret poison
compound whioh he used so suc-
cessfully. The Marquoz Mail, a branch
plant of tho lhorndnlo Thorn,
has suspended. Editor Ramsey
announces tnat tne wrecK was
caused by tho punoturos of tho
uuu wuuvna, rouucuig mu uuuun
receipts at Marquez from 4,000 to
400 bales.
