Lockhart Register: "There is
no reason why cotton should not
bring eight or ten cents a pound
this fall. This state from present
prospects will not make more than
half as much as she made last
year."
Waco News: IA new broom
sweeps clean, but the policy Of
sending to the north for the ma
terial from which to make it,
sweeps the country Of its cash."
Cotulla Ledger: "With the
Unite1 States about to enter into q
three.sided political contest, Eng
land undergoing political change,
the South American States quar-
reling, Russia and Japan daring
each other, Spain and Cuba in the
midst of a turmoil, and the Prince
of Wales coming to Texas, can the
world be said to be at restw
Temple Tribune: "The Mexican
cotton weevil has made its appear
ance in Ellis county. They begin
their operations in the bottom of
the square, and when Matched,
work on the end of the unopened
bloom. No bud survives their at
tack. Some Of the cotton crops in
Ellis county are said to be ruined
by this new pest"
Houston Press: Galveston Is
in a tair way now to get the big
fight. She gives big inducements
to Dan Stuart, president of the
Florida Athletic club, who is rather
inclined to favor Galveston-on-the-
Gulf in preference to Dallas. Dali
las will lose big money If the fight
Is carried to the "Pirate ISLE"
Eagle Pass Guide: "From the
plundering Of Tsmmany New York
has escaped, but now it has fallen
into the hands Of Puritans who
make life intolerable to the average
citizen on one day in seven. AS a
consequence good men are begin
ming to doubt whether the latter
state Is not worse than the for
mer."
Paris Advocate: "Among the
abuses mentioned by Dallas's Good
Government club, as needing a
remedy, is that of county officers
sending abroad for what can be
had just as we'll at home. For in
stance the county clerk orders
large quantities Of stationery from
CLARK Courts, or Geo. d. Barnard,
for which the county has to pay,
while printers right at home
would be glad to do the same work
at the same prices paid the foreign
house. But the real milk in the
cocoanut is found in the tip given,
in the shape Of a suit Of clothes, or
a handsome piece of furniture, to
the officer making the order.
Fort Worth Mail Telegram ::
"Those people who are bowling be-
cause there is not, as they claim, a
first-class morning paper in Fort
Worth are respectfully invited to
consider the matter Of 500 being
given to the st. Louis Republic for
one page Of advertisement OF Fort
Worth in that paper. How in the
name Of common sense can Fort
Worth expect to have a first-class
morning paper published here
when 1t is easier for foreign paper
to get 500 from Fort Worth people
than it is for a Fort Worth paper
to get $50. Until Fort Worth learns
to support home concerns as they
deserve, Fort Worth will have to
put up with what she pays for"
