The parlors were throw open after the

Drake. the little Texas beauty who led the
scholarship contest II that state. was in
great demand. Il was some time before
she made her appearance in The pariors and
expectancy was on tiptoe. She IS only
thirteen years Of age but IS - vivacjnuS

about her "trip aud smiling on rs many
more at the same time. The Texas Young
ladies are all interesting and it IS hoped
their stay at Hardin college Will be pleasant
and profitable. 1t must be remembered
also, that Texas is not the only state repre-
scented. There are young ladies there FROM
half dozen other states. including Mis-
souri,, which leads the list in point Of num-
berS. But of course Texas girls have the
call al present in point of interest.

The movement now going on among
the coeSon-pickers, looking to strike
for higher wages. is likely to have an
important bearing on the fortunes Of
the Farmers Alliance through the
South.
| We are told that there are now
| 100000 members of the Cotton pickers'
league, and that the number is growing
at the rate OF $4,000 day. The greater
part OF these are also members of the
Alliance, 1t is said. Col. Humphrey,
the organizer OF the league, is an Of
fetal high in the Alliance, and he is
working as an Alliance organizer. We
take it, then, that the movement is an
Alliance movement. The purpose OF
the league is to unite the cotton-pick-
ers of the South, the greater number
OF them being negroes, in a combine
to raise the price Of cotton picking
from 40 cents and so cents per 100 pounds
to 81 per 100 pounds. That is, they
demand an advance of 100 per cent for
their labor at time when the price of
cotton is lower than it has been at any
time since the war.
How are the cotton-raising farmers
Of the Alliance going to relish this
strike for more pay? If the strike is
successful they must pay twice as much
for picking their cotton. IF the yield
is seven and d half million bales, which
is about the lowest estimate. the extra
cost to them will be $50. 25o,000. This
calculation is easily made. At 500
pounds to the bale. 100000 bales will
weigh $3.50, 900, COO pounds. It takes
three pounds OF seed cotton to make
one OF ginned cotton, which will make
the total weight of the crop in the seed
1850, 900, 900 pounds, and an advance
of fifty cents hundred pounds adds to
the cost of picking it $50, go 600.
Well, what are the farmers going to
do about it9 Those in the Alliance, we
mean. Will they submit to an Alliance
demand that they shall pay 4 dollar a
hundred for picking their cotton at a
time when the cotton is bringing less
than it ever sold for? If this question
comes up in the Alliance, the majority
ruling, the cotton-pickers' league will
win, if they number 100000 members,
for it is certain that there are not that
many other members of the Alliance in
the Southern states. Then the plant
ers, the small farmers, the renters.
who have cotton in the ground, will
find that they have founded and built
up an organization that is being used
to ruin them, for dollar a hundred
for picking cotton is equal to three
cents pound for cotton in the bale,
which is nearly half of what the cotton
is selling for, and no farmer can afford
to pay such g price for picking.
Organization and alliance are great
things, but it is a game two can play
at. and if the Farmers Alliance has
taught the negro cotton pickers the
power of united action, that power will
be used by them without the slightest
regard to its effect upon the fortunes
OF the white cotton raisers. Then listen
for curses. both loud and deep.

WHAT! Another kindergarten pu-
pill? Well. come into the class, and
THE GAZETTE will do the best it can
for you. And the first question that
this weanling, the Childress Star, asks
is so simple:
To the esteemed GAZETTE: How do you
expect to amend the alien land law in such
a manner as TO permit the lending of money
on land and yet prevent the requirement Of
land9 Your proposition is purile.
THE GAZETTE would amend the law
10 make it as it is in other states that
have legislated against alien land-hold
ing, by allowing alien mortgages to
foreclose their mortgages, but requir-
ing them to sell the lands so acquired
in five or six years. 1t is not the ac-
quiring of real estate, but the holding
of it with the intent to build up large
estates in perpetuity, that the people of
Texas fear There is no danger OF any
Joan company trying TO get possession
of land that must be sold in six years
or be forfeited. Under such conditions
loan companies can afford to lend
money on real estate security, because
they can. where compelled to foreclosc,
make their money out OF the land in
six years or less time, and they will get
rid of it as soon as they can.
Now run along with the Austin
News and play, but don't get your face
dirty or soil your pantalettes.

Ardmore az :. Cotton Point.


DPtCINI 10 lIIJ U F-t5It'
ARDMoRE. !. T., Sept. Work on the
new cotton compress is being pushed rap
idly forward, and Wednesday, of this week
will witness its completion. The press is
one of the Howell compress company s,
made at Rome, Ga, and will have a capac-
ity of 1000 bales per day, and furnish en-
ployment for about twenty-five men seven
months during the year. This IS an enter
prise that Will greatly benefit Ardmore in
more ways than one. 1t will bring a large
number OF buyers, who viii pay the highest
price possible for the staple. The cotton
will be shipped direct from Arduore to
Eastern manufacturers, thus enabling the
buyers to pay the highest market price.
There is no reason why Ardmore should
not compress the entire crop for the Chick
asaw Nation and Oklahoma.

IT NOW seems that there will be no lack
of capital to take the place of that driven
out of Texas by the alien land law Last
week two companies representing $4,000
600 applied to the department of state for
permit to operate in Texas-the Continental
savings loan and building company of Min
nesota, and the Fidelity building and loan
association of Colorado.
The above item is taken from the
Southern Mercury, which paper credits
the item TO the Nacogdoches Chronicle.
In the above paragraph the admission
is clearly made that the Gos5ett law
does drive money out Of Texas, and the
people are deceived by the statement
that two American companies will bring
ninety millions of dollars into the state
to take the place OF the money driven
out by the Gossett law.

The amount of envy exhibited by some
papers in the Fort Worth GAzETrE's schol-
arship contest IS positively amazing. Even
a big daily like the Dallas News which
proudly boasts that it recognizes no rival
in Texas shows its teeth and gives vent to
dog-in-the-manger feeling that would
shame the sorriest rural paper in Texas.
THE GAZETTE did not get M the contest as
a moneY-makiTg scheme. but IS IN adver-
tisemeEt for itself. The widespread inter
est manifested in the contest was doubtless
as much of surprise 10 The GAZETTE as
anybody, and that paper has certainly
shown a spirit of fairness and broad iber-
ality in the matter without parallel infthe
history of Texas journalism. =
