RocKDALE, Tex, Oct. 3.-The counterfeit
silver dollar was introduced here today by
very young man giving the name of
Saunders and claimed to have landed here
this morning direct and without change of
cars from Corsicana, which later statement
is impossible. Mr.. Saunders is in Jail. His
scheme was to buy small articles and get
he money in change for counterfeit. When
arrested he claimed to have been victimized
himself hut his statements were so coll
FLEEING that everything indicates his con-
nection with a gang of counterfeiters. The
courterfeits are poor, thick and heavy and
have no ring to them, smooth like lead to
the touch, but the dies and melting are
good to unguarded people, and they might
be passed for the genuine.

Cotton RnyIng in North Texas.

PARIS, Tex, Oct. 3.-The Alliance cotton
sale at Sulphur Springs yesterday should
point moral. A good many Delta county
farmers were beguiled into quitting Paris,
their usual market, and carrying their cot
ton to the Alliance warehouse at Sulphur
Springs. Other cotton from the poor
sand ridges of Hopkins and Wood coun-
ties went into the same warehouse,
and altogether they had seven hundred
bales stored yesterday. A Paris buyer went
over and bought out the lot on middling
basis at 8 29H. The joke is that the black
land cotton from Delta if sold in its own
class III Paris would Lave brought 935 to
9.57.
