FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, L906
Spel az U darn pleso, that's
the best plan to follow thes das
Times are good in the Bartlett
country. The farmers can't get
barrella "enough in which to store
their money.
Bailey converts are beooming
quite numerous as the senator
gets before the publio and ex-
plains the facts in the case,
Bartlett nerds a cotton com-
press, a new school building, an
opera house, a'new hotel and
until some of these are built the
town will take a standstill. A
good cotton market cannot make
up for all enterprises in a town.
THE Epworth League eooiety
of the First Methodist church at
Temple has organized its mem-
bers into a cotton picking band
and next Saturday they will de-
scend upon the cotton fields
around Temple and endeavor to
get away with some of the cotton
pioking money that farmers aro
1rywg to force on pickers. Rev.
M S. Hotchkiss, pastor of the
Ohurch, will lead the band and
"Mmises to piok 200 pounds him-
self. This fs a good move and
will be appreciated by by the
armors. Why can't "a ootton
picking society be organized in
JSap.iptt?

Taylor Cotton Receipts.
Taylor, Tex., Oct. 22. Cotton

were lighter than expected and
were 2304 bales, making a total
of 8135 bales for this month (20
days), and 21,013 bales for the
season up to Saturday night.
Hand Cut.
Word waa reoeiyed this morn-
ing from Fowler.s gin that a man
named Brown, who was employed
there, had gotten one of his hands
badly lacerated by the gin saws.
The wound in not considered
serious, however.
Gin Accident.
This morning while John Bel-
oher, who is employsd at Deck-
er's gin, was manipulating the
stands, a breast of one of them
fell striking him on the hoad,
lacerating his scalp very badly.
About 20 stitches were required
in dressing the wound.
High Priced Farm.
Hutto, Tex., Oot. 24. Carl
Hausen sold his farm of sixty
aore 1 of land to J. A. Johnson for
8104 per aore. The farm is ad-
joining the town of Hutto
The Dallas'LogiBlative banquet
reminds of tho event of similar
oharaoter hold there last fall in
whioh several gentlemen answer
ed the toast, "If I Were Govern-
or." It's probable, however,
that none of the opponents of
JoBeph W, Bailey will care to
respond to tho toast, MIf I Were
Senator." San Antoniq Express.
Now is an awful good time to
lay in your qtxt summer's cloth-
ing, at a great reduction.

Cotton In The West.
Austin,, Tex,, Oct. 22. J. N.
Borgus of Lubbock county, who
was here today on business with
the Land Office, says that the
labor situation in Western Texas
has reached a serious point. He
says that he has spent the last
two weeks traveling through coun-
ties along the Texas & Pacific
railroad and he saw thousands of
acres of cotton which is still un-
picked, and with no early pros-
pect of it being- picked, The
price paid cotton pickers in some
localities has reached $1.40 per
100 pounds, and pickers in suffic-
ient numbers cannot even be ob
taincd at that price. One trouble
in most of the counties is that
planters refuse to employ negroes
for pickers. This is due to the
sentiment against permitting ne-
groes to locate in the counties
referred to. The cotton crop this
year is a large one in West Texas,
but it will profit the growers none
if it cannot be picked. The ex-
periment of importing white la
bors from the principal cities of
the JNorth an East is to be tried
by the planters, The wrges are
attraciive and the work much
easier than that ujually perform-
ed by th& day laborer.
Cotton Receipts.
To date the cotton receipts of
Bartlett for the season are 14,260
bales, tho prevailing price being
10,75.
Moso Cox, who has bsen at
Killeen in ohargo of tho cotton
oxohange at thatjplnce, lias re-
turned to Bartlett and aocepted a
similar position with tho ox-
ohange hero yicp Cliff Stephens,
who has gono to Temple.

Blach Land Advancing.
Taylor, Tex., Oct. 19. Less
than one year ago E. Seyerin, a
land agent of this city, bought the
Marsh farm of 104 acres, lying
three miles north of the city, for a
consideration of $70 per acre.
Severin farmed the land this year,
and on fifty acres has gathered
forty bales of cotton and will get
a few more bules. He has now
sold the farm to C. E. Hydell for
87 per acre and besides making
good money on the farm products
raised, made something like $1700
by the land advancing in price.
There is no land around here that
is not selling for or commanding
similar pnees.
