WILL NOT AMALGaMArE.

The Turnvcrein nnd SRenEerbund
VIII Remain separate.
At tho meeting OF the Houston Turn.
vereln. hSd yesterday. the question OF
consolidating with tho sacngerhund was
considered and the proposition was voted
down.
a large number OF the Sacngerbund are
already members OF tho Turnverein. both
beiug German organizations, but one dis
tinctively a singing society. The proposition
OF consolidation was upon tho basis of
taking the entire Sacngerbund iuto the
Tnrnverein and letting 1t still remain a
separate and distinct organization with
separate officers.
II was TO this plan OF amalgamation that
the Turnverein objected and voted the
proposition down.
One advantage to the Saengerbund In
merging with tho Turnvereip would be the
securing ot an excellent hall for their on
terta!nmenis as their organization Is now
increasing so rapidly in membership rs to
render their ha,1 entirely too small and
inadequate for their purposes.
The field is large enough for both Or
ganizations To work separately, each bav-
Ing it's distinctive mission and the func-
items OF neither will be in the least cur
tales in consequence OF the failure OF the
proposed plan of amalsamatlop.

SOUR LAKE LUBRlCATING OILS

The Petroleum Has Bccn Refined In
spite OF the Assertion that IL
Could Not he Done.

- t KS 5s.l al .tf s--
Galveston, Texas, November lS.-Texas
has rev industry added to her resources.
She already produces a third OF the cotton
grown in the United States; she turns OUT
as fine pine lumber as comes from the
woods OF Michigan, and the wheat and corn
and stock grown here excite the envy aga
admiration OF the Northern States. TINS
tine II Is the oil business that has come
10 the frcnt.
c. NJ. Rice, general manager OF the Gull
Coast Refining company, located at sodr
Lake, Texas, was hero today with the first
line OF samples turred out by their machin-
cry. The refinery is nov compJete4 aid
has been in successful operation shot
Line In speaking OF the wo.k over there,
MIR. Rice said: This development OF the
oil business In Texas has be- n hard stru8-
gle. Our company was organized IN Jan
uary, but 1t Was April before the erection
OF o pant commenced. All ths time we

gay help AMI out OF rumber OF ErAc-
teal reitaets whom | broush South there
Was put one man who seemed 10 under

was able TO produce results. He was re-
t-Gneu and after lapse o. three days pre-
rim. cary work the plant was started. we
are now turning out refned oil AT the rate
Of a car load or fifty barrels tday The
pant covers five acres of land and employs
quite a number of people.
in 1897 Texas produced $4,000 barrels OF
crude oll. Most OF this came from the
CoTsicana wells. None of 1t was refined,
but was stored and the Houston and Texas
Central railroad is now using some OF II
for fuel. In a crrle state he Sour Lake
produce is known as Is gravity oil 1t is
heavier thar any other known oil and is
treer from adulteration. | estimate the pro-
duct from Texas wells this year TO be rot
less than $50, eco barrels
The samples carried by Mr.. Rice appear
to be of the finest grade. They are lignt
in color, free from sediment and thin, bul
the specific gravity is such as to- give TO
them the very best OF results. All grades
OF lubrioatns OIL are made, but none at
all is producel for burning purposes.

To the Editor OF The Post.
Houston, Texas. November S.-What is
the matter with the farming interest of
the cotton States. and what IS it that 10
depressing every other interest from a
are various Gauges, but to my mind tho
greatest of all is the acknowledgement and
and independent action of the cotton pro
dFcers. Mn that | wceild throw The least
slur at ths farmer But thc condition OF
affairs forces the merchant and men of
other OCCUPATIONS 10 adapt themselves to
the circumstances us they exist. We all
realize the condition. but what is the rem
coy? What We need Is d practical answer
II is fact that farmers can not make
decent support for themselves and FAINT
lies hy raising Az cent ccttcn not even
the land owner much less the renter. wac
has to pay Fart of tho crop as standing
rent.
There is no use howllng hard times any
longer. There has got to be a change or
the whole thing Will 20 in pile. But
some one asks. what Is the remedy Let me
suppose that there should be called a mass
meeting u farmers of each county In the
cotton distrlcta and after asccrtainng
the amount Of acreage each farmer planted
IN cotton the present year. And suppose,
further, that by signed agreement taaG
.hev would plant Just half the amount the
ocmirg year, what would be tho result?
! verify believe that 10 cents would be the
ruling price OF cotton instead of Az cents.
II lakes the same labor To make, gather
and gin a bale of cotton ut Az cents as II
does one a. 10 cents. Thus half the amount
Of cotton world bring far mere at 10 cents
than doubly the amount NJ il2 cents ard
On the other half CT the land the farmer
could raise other produce. Bus some have
sand when we raise corn, potatoes. etc.
we have no market for them. But sup
pose we don't? We have an abundance
for ourselves and stock and are not neFes-
STATED TO 20 TO the merchant for all tho
necessarles' OF life.
There Is no class OF men that are as sick
OF the abused credit system as the real
merchant; hut what are they 10 do? Thy
cumsiances as they eSlst or throw UP to
sponge and quit business. as the money is
all spent before st Is made.
There Is Just about money enough IN cir
ouiation. from January to September ],
to run one racket store In each coanty On
n cash basis and they fail every now and
then. How can the people keep money
so long az they make a practice Of spend
ing II before they get u. Ike tho son v
hte buzzing his life out against the window
light? We should stop and in.uk. u Ja-
not some ether way Out OF the difficulty
besides all cotton ana credit? The farmers
of the South have II In their postF by the
unity OF seton 10 control the price % rot
