Presbyterian sunday school Picnic.

The lowering weather of Tuesday
morning did not deter the Presbyter
ian Sabbath school from having their
picnic. About a hundred scholars and
teachers with their friends gathered
at the union depot when the B. s. M.
arrived and Conductor Zollinger, who
is the superintendent, put them all
aboard and took them to the Chautau-
qua grounds. During the morning
they were confined to the large taber-
nacle building on account of the rain,
where swings were put up and other
games indulged in by old as we'll as
young. A sumptuous dinner was
served at noon and everybody ate like
woodchoppers. The afternoon was
pleasant and the boys played Barbaree,
hare and hounds, went swimming and
had general good time. The feature
of the afternoon was spirited game of
base ball between two lady base ball
mines. They called themselves the
Highf1yers and the Highsteppers. The
former we're captained by Mrs. Frank
jackson and the latter by Mrs. E. T.
Pierce. The principal players of the
Hightiyers were: Mrs. Dornan, who
covered first base; Mrs. r. II. Wells
held down second in excellent shape
and Mrs. Moore looked after the flies
and grounders that came in the direc-
tion of third. The Highsteppers had
the following celebrated players. Mrs.
Ryan, first; Mrs. Zollinger, second and
Mrs. Pratt third. A ID. Wood acted as
umpire and Rev. Pearson caught for
both sides. e. j. Moore was scorer.
The captains of the teams occupied the
boxes for their respective mines and
proved themselves excellent twirlers,
Mrs. Jackson being especially prof.
cient in speed and all manner of
curves. In the second inning Mrs.
Pratt was put into the box for the
Highsteppers, but was knocked clear
out of the box, eighteen runs having
been scored off her delivery. The way
these ladies swatted the ball all over
field gave evidence that they were in
practice-probably with the broom
stick and potato masher-and the gen.
tlemen about town who think they are
heavy hitters would have grown green
with envy to have seen the number of
home runs made. There was the usual
amount of kicking at the umpire,
number of players insisting that "cross-
ing out" was still in vogue. Mrs.
Pierce received hot foul tip from her
own bat in the center of her forehead
which almost knocked her down. An
other lady caught the ball on the tip
of the nose, making it bleed, while
Mrs. Dornan covered herself with glory
and dust in trying to make slide to
home plate. Out of fmodesty, however,
she does not claim any credit for the
brilliant play and simply says that she
stepped on her dress and fell down;
Rev. Pearson, the catcher for both teams
was doubled completely up by the ball
passing through his hands and strik
ing him in the stomach. The Highly
ers came out ahead, the score standing
32 to % in their favor. The Highstep-
pers have challenged them to anothe.,
game, notice of which will appear
later.

Discovered New Lit,,ia Springs.

The STAR learns that "a new spring
has been discovered in the county,
about twelve miles from Hot Springs,
which, if reports are true, promises to
be an important factor in bringing
health-seekers this way. Jas. w. Shep-
herd, the founder of ''Shep's Canyon
has all the time known that very
prolific spring was on his ranch. but US
the water did not taste very good he
has not used it. A few weeks ago an
old Indian was discovered carrying off
some of the water, and upon being
questioned by Mr.. Shepherd the Indian
explained that they had used the water
fer years and that it cured certain dis
eases. Mr.. Shepherd Immediately sent
small quantity to New York to be
analyzed, and a favorable statement as
to the water came back, with q request
to send larger quantity. This was
done. and short time ago reply was
received, which was in effect that it
was the finest lithia water in the coun-
try, making it especially cfticacious in
kidney troubles disease. And
now Mr.. Shepherd, and Jacob Bingham,
who owns half interest in the spring,
have gone to work and are building a
stone spring house and otherwise pre-
pairing to do bus;ness-which they can
no doubt do If this report of the analy-
sis is correct.
We can not vouch for the correct
ness of this story, but ono of our cor
respondents is looking into it and will
no doubt keep the STAR readers posted.

NEW PROBLEM PRESENTED.
President Pitts Asks That Compro-
misses BE Made.
RAW VS.. MANUFACTURED COTTON.
President Of the Cotton Growers
Association Holds That Planters
should Get an Equal share.

Corsicana, Texas, October 5.--FIon. John
ID. Pitts Of Hillsboro, Texas. president OF
the National Cotton Growers executive
committee. addresses the following COM
mmication TO the Corsicana Democrat,
setting forth a problem or proposed ex-
pertinent upon the cotton question which
will psove OF interest to all classes:
Realizing that the movement inaugu-
rated In behalf OF the cotton producer
against the ruinous effects Of market
gambling will be successful as soon US tho
people OF the South become acquainted
with the nefarious methocs of depressing
cotton prices by the syndicate scheme OF
New York speculators ] ask. in the In
terest OF all classes, that the following
proposition be made public through your
columns.
Industrial reports show that the labor
expended In raising and marketing pound
OF cotton 10 equal In value to the labor
expended IN manufacturing the same
pound OF cotton into goods that sell on
our markets; so that by any fair system
OF trade the producer ought to receive
about one-half OF the selling price Of the
manufactured article That. however, 10
not the condition, and II the producers or
all, deside to understand the true condis
ton that Expresses the mechanic. trades
man. laborer, professional man, and pro-
Queer, let them make this experiment.
Go to the best dry goods store, and
purchase one-half or quarter OF yard
Of fine cotton goods. have some druggist
weigh 1t accurately and then compute
the price OF one pound OF manufactured
goods. and when II is ascertained compare
it with the price OF a pound Of cotton in
the markets.
This experiment will place you face to
face with an astounding revelation. You
will see one OF the reasons why the cotton
producer and consumer are depressed and
in debt
Ask yourself the question "If manu-
| featured goods bring such enormous prices
| per round. why do producers get so little
| for their share OF the labor
1t is earnestly requested that every per-
| son who feels an interest In the industrial
| welfare OF the people will make this ex-
| pertinent, toll his neighbors OF IT. AMI
| write the results to his local home paper
| Let 1t be matter Of business study and
reflection 10 the end that all thonghifu'
| mon may take intelligent part in the great
| industrial movement against the market
gambling as conducted by tho New York
cotton exchange. Respectfully.
| John D. Pitts.
| Chairman of the Cotton Growers Nationa
| Executive Committee.
