hope that the new Council will
look after our streets and side

that purpose. We are entirely
out of, debt and have good bal

be expended at once, in order to

The Tazewell Index suggests to
the Preachers of the different de-
nominations at TszeweH G. H., to
hold monthly Preachers meeting,
and to unite together 80 build up
the cause of Christianity in Taze-

gestion an excellent one and heart
lily recommend the plan to the
Christian Ministers OF Logan @
FL. We have here regular preach
ing by Christian, Baptist and
Methodist Ministers, all Of them
are splendid men, and all Of them
are more or less disheartened on
account Of the i'll success which
they are having. The people are
regular IN Church attendance and
pay good attention to what is said,
but for some cause but little is be-
ing done. Why Is III Ihe arm
Of God has not been shortened.
His promises still stand Would
il not be well for our Ministers to
forget their differences, and get
together and organize a crusade
against sim. We would like to
hear from some Of orr Christian
people iii regard TO this matter.

STRUCK BOTTOM.

Recent dispatches show that cotton
has reached the lowest point in its
history. No one seems to know what
is breaking the market, for, though
the crop is unusually large, the con-
sumption has also increased, so that
every bale raised ought to be in rea-
sonable demand. The movement is
believed to be purely speculative
one, and brokers say that the market
is in the hands of New York bears,
who are doing what they please with
it. This will be welcome news to the
farmer who has spent so much of his
time in the cultivation of his cotton
crop, who has kept his children out
of school to assist in gathering it,
and who has depended on that crop
to buy everything that his family will
eat and wear for another year. The
New York spectators who have it i'll
their power thus to depress the price
of cotton really have an iron grip on
the throat of the South, and when
that grip is frightened the South has
to give up more blood money. But
after all, they are not so much to
blame as the South itself, which con-
fines itself to one crop, and toilsomely
raises that which enriches no one but
the Northern speculator. A few years
of war time economy and war time
"shiftiness" would do more to make
he South independent and to helE
her in throwing off the call cotton
tyranny than any other scheme thai
ever was devised

THE EXTRA SESSION.
GOVERNOR H0GG TALKS AND THE MYs-
Terry is CLEARED AWAY.
1t will be Called About the First of March or
April, When the Distinguished Legisla-
tors Will Attempt to Remedy Some
of the Present Laws.

Governor Hosg did not go hunting
Yesterday, as it was reported he
would do, but was at his desk
bright and early yesterday morn
ing talking to the wide awake
and intelligent newspaper reporters
about the extra session. The fog has
now arisen and the mystery is cleared
away. In reply to a direct question
as to whether or not he intended to
call the muchly talked of extra ses-
sion, he said:
Eyes, my intention has heen and
now is to reconvene the legislature
about the first OF next March or a pril.
As you understand, under the cOnsti-
tuition special session of the legisla-
ture cannot last longer than thirty
days, and in view of that there will
necessarily be many important sub
jects omitted from their deliberations.
81 believe that public sentiment de-
mands reapportionment of
the state into congressional,
judicial, senatorial and representative
districts; the passage Of such laws as
may be necessary to give effect to
each of the recently al 'pted constitu-
tional amendments; the modification,
correction or amendment of the alien
land law and the school text book
bill; the adoption of such laws as will
more etfectualIy drive the criminal
element out Of the state or to insure
to them certain and speedy punish
ment for such Offenses as they may
commit while in the confines of the
state, and the election of United
States senator to fill the uneXpired
term Of Senator Reagan.
Later on other questions of great
may arise and also be sub
mitted, but | am inclined to think
that by the time the work have out
lined receive proper attention the
thirty days will have expired and the
legislature ready to adjourn.

THE Dallas News has grown weary
of the many insinuatiOns on the part
of the press, to the effect that the lady
manager of the Gazette was incompe-
tent to the task, or would probably
run the paper in the ground" The
News says:
There is nothing like gallantry or
Justice in the filings at the good lady
who now controls the destiny OF the
Fort Worth Gazette to which some of
of the friends of the late management
have seen fit to resort. She has come
to the rescue of the Gazette more than
once when but for her enterprise and
cash the morning daily of the Fort
could have hardly kept up to its
standard of excellence. Having treat
the patient successfully when other
celebrated doctors had failed, it is
quite natural that she should claim
some credit rs well rs cash for herself
She is entitled TO both. The New:
hopes that the Gazette may prosper
under her management"

Exposition.
Plans have been completed for the
Live Stock Assembly Hall at the ex-
position. This building will stand
just south ofthe colonnade connecting
agricultural and machinery buildings
1t will in form resemble the letter 7,
one portion being 50Ofeet long and the
other 200 feet. On the first floor will
be office room for cattle and horse as
sociations, dog and pet stock associa.
tiOns, and all remaining live stock or.
CARNATIONS. On the second floor will
be an assembly hall 172 feet long and
"A feet wide. Here the farmers will
be given chance to hold their assem-
blies. Special rooms are provided for
the Farmers Alliance, the National
Grange and other similar associations.
The entire structure has been SO plan
ned as to give the farmers and live
stock men generally all they could
ask in the way Of accommodations
Chief Of Construction Burnham has
been instructed by the committee on
grounds and buildings to perfect
working drawings and ask for con-
tracts.
Chief Buchanan of the Worlds Go.
lumbian Exposition Live Stock de-
partment has sent 5000 copies of the
live stock premium list to the various
fair and breeders associations Of the
country, and is receiving responses
which show that the live stock eX.
hibit at the Exposition will be some
thing tremendous. Besides the large
premiums offered by the Exposition
for live stock exhibit, all the various
breeders associations are offering
large prizes, notably for shorthorns,
Herefords and Jerseys. AS evidence
of the widespread interest taken in
Shropshire, England, offers prize OF
$500 tor the best American bred Shrop-
shire ram. The state of Illinois offers
s 0,000in premiums for live stock the
Clydesdale horse breeders offerS5000eX-
ira prizes; the cattle associations offer
extra prizes as follows: Galloway.
$4,000; shorthorn, $4,000; Hereford.
$1,000; Jersey, $4,000, and Hostein,
$4,000. The swine, sheep and dog
breeders also offer extra money prizes.
The money prizes to be paid for live
stock will amount to $3.50, eco or more,
which. of course, includes the sum of
215C goo voted by the Exposition COM
pany for premiums in that depart
mpnt. The exposition buildings for
the accommodation Of live stock will
cover thirty acres
\ committee Of live stock experts
has apportioned the cash premiums to
be awarded in the Exposition live
stock department. amounting to $780,
eco. as follows: For horses, $50, 00G:
cattle, $50, coo; swine, SO, 1000; poultry
and pet stock, $4,000; dogs, $4,000.
This leaves a contingent fund of $l9,-

should be held for special breeds of
animals that may have been over
looked.

TILE CATrLEMEN,S CONTENTION.

The cattlemen today to meet in our
city come together on important bust
ness. Their stock interests SO long de-
pressed in Texas are Choking up" A
change has come over their business
in the last ten years. No longer do
we hear of 1000-mile drives TO st.
Louis and Chicago. The trails are
cut across by wire fences and grown
up in weeds. Cattle are not now
started north in the same condition as
a few years ago. They are well fat
tened here at home and sent north on
the cars. This style of transportation
has injected another element in the
cattlemen's OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES home
feeding and the cost of railroad trans
portat,o1. With better fed cattle
here at home the question has natu-
rally arisen why not slaughter and
refrigerate the cattle here rather
than send them off 1000 miles for
that purpose? The great beef mon
opoly at Chicago has intensified OPP
position to sending cattle outside the
state, and this idea has become pop
ular not only in Texas but all over
the Union, until opposition to the
Chicago "bg four" has crystalized in
the determination to establish ma
tional abattoir. That abattoir has
been voted to Texas, and its exact To-
cation will be decided next May. The
convention OF today will doubtless
take some commendatory action upon
the national plan.
But q matter of special Importance
for this conventions consideration
will be the freight rate on cattle.
In hauling big, well fed beeves
the freight becomes very
necessary consideration. The COM
mission in considering all
other classes of freight will have this
interest especially called to their at
tention.
HE N -~ATEsMAN is greatly pleased
in seeing the representatives OF such
q commanding Texas enterprise thus
come together to discuss all matters
touching their general welfare and
the better development of the cattle
business in the State. They are well
coined to Austin with the earnestly
expressed hope that great good to
them and Texas may result from their
deliberations.

GOVERNOR HOGG has said he will
call an extra session of the legislature
in March or April, and that among the
Subjects he will submit for considera-
ton is the alien land law. 1t is well.

none more fraught with interest to the
true welfare of Texas than the amend
ment ofthat law.

The Comptroller,

Comptroller Mccall made ruling
yesterday in regard TO the transfer OF
liquor licenses, which the law now
prob bits from being transferred more
than once. The case submitted to
them was one in which a liquor dealer
had made an assignment for the ben
eft of his creditors. The assignee de-
sired to sell out the stock hut was in
doubt as to whether the law Y Guild
allow him to transfer the license and
so appealed to the comptroller. Mr.
Call holds that he can do SO, claiming
that the transfer to the assignee is not
such a transfer as contemplated by law.
