Turning Away From Cotton. Tenant Farmers of Texas Dls- cover They Cannot Make a
 Living.

Galveston, Tex, October 27.- An industrial revolution is i'm pending in Texas. Never before have the masses of farmers, either of the landlord or tenant classes, wavered i'll their devotion to cotton. To- day the feeling against cotton among the producers of it partakes of the sentiment of revenge. The staple has disappointed them time and again. Last year they conf dently believed that the bottom of the decline had been reached and Ia heavy acreage was planted in cotton III anticipation of rise. A further drop which has brought the average selling price in the
 home mrrket to $22, 50 a bale of 1 800 pounds is the straw that has broken the .camel's back.
 Within sixty days thousands of

tenent farmers in the central, or
 black-waxy Belt Of TexasAtl,e
 richest agricultural section of the
 state--have deserted cotton crops
 because they could earn more by
 picking cotton for wages than by gathering their own crops and paying the rent. This has forced landlords upon whose hands rent ed farms were thrown back to jm- port negro labor fromSouth Texas to pick the deserted crops and the cost of picking, which at the beglnnlng of the season was B cents hnndred pounds, has adA vanced to 50 cents. Reports from Arkansas tell of similar conditions there. The acute distress caused dy 4-cent cotton may easily be ap- preciated when 1t Is stated that the average cash yield of the staple at this price is less than $9 an acre, gross. Out of this the tenant pays one-fourth to the land lord and, if he hires the cotton picked, about $3 an acre goes for that expense. The net result to the farmer is less than $4 an acre and this pittance is more than ex- hausted if he is compelled to hire help to plant and cultivate the crop. The best authorities agree that the day when cotton would pay wages to the producer passed when the price dropped below 7 cents a pound.

IMP0Rr4NTL<l " REPEALFD


 At last the BrinkIey City solons have repealed the ordinance, re- quiring water to run up hill. That is-they are filling in thelr artificial lake they have so long maintained on Ash Street between Main and New Orleans, so that the water will be forced off. Of course this will be sad blow to the 'sofficial ditch" digger who has so often en joyed the pleasant and lucrative job of digging up and replacing the "blind" drain tiling which was to run the water off up hill a. cross Main street. This little fill if it had been done long ago, as the ARGUS has so often suggested, would have forced the water off and have saved the tax payers the hundreds of dollars that have been squandered in "ditch dig ging" to drain it.

A Parable.

A certain man was going into a far country to be gone many years. Before going he called his three servents together and to one he gave ten talents of gold, five to an other and one to the other, and then took his departure. On his return he called his servants to- gether for an accounting. The one to whom he gave five talents said 'iMaster l invested the five talents in agriculture; cultivated 1 large fields and fed and clothed many people, and employed many men, but at the end of each year the expenses ate up the profit and a slice of the original investment, for master, since you've been gone Grover Cleveland, Ben Harrison, Grover Cleveland, and finally Mark Hanna have been President and behold 1 stand before you penniless."
 The second servent invested his ten talents in manufacturing with no better results than the first.
 The third servent put his hand in his pocket and pulling out a bright golden talent, said: "Mas- ter, 1 knew you were hard master and I was afraid to invest the tall ent yo1 gave me for fear of losing it. So l wrapped 1t up in a nap kin and then put it in an ollcloth and buried 1t in the back yard. Here it is as bright as when you gave it. It has fed no one; but master, since you've been gone Grover Cleveland, Ben Harrison Grover Cleveland and finally Mark Hanna have been President, and now the talent has increased three fold in value " "Well done, thou avaricious servent, cried the master, "thou hast been great il small things; thou shalt be ruler over many. will make thee commissary in the Cuban army

OUR CITY DADS.

We understand some of our sscity dads' are on their "off earl because the ARGUS has seen fit to criticise their official acts or fail ings. Now don't loose your equi- ibrinm gentlemen, for personally speaking. there is not set of men in Brinkley more worthy of our esteem and kind feelings than you are. It was merely your "offi- cial doings" the ARGUS was criti- cising, and if you haven't yet re- alized it, you had better begin to try to realize that when you allow yourself to be exalted to the "sub- lime' position of city office, and fail to do your duty, you must ex- pect to be criticised. Don't i'm aglne that your ''high position' places you above criticism, for il doesn't. Very near everyone oi the city officials are successful business men; you attend to your own business affairs in an ener getic and successful manner. Ii you were to look after tue city, business as yon do your own there would be no cause to kick but this you know you haven done. Your failing to attend t the business of the city as yol should have done has cost the tax payers of Brinkley hundreds Q dollars in a single instance. Thel do you wonder that the people ar complaining at your shortcomings
 As stated above, the gentlemen who comprise the Board are ou
 best citizens and friends an
 among our best business men, bu
 th!s does not excuse your officis
 neglect.

THERE will be an immense amount of money change hands in New York State, on the result of the election, no matter how it goes.
 Van Wyck (Tamany's candidate Democratic) was the favorite at first and his packers offered big odds on his success. The Teddy Roosevelt Platt- Republican candi- date) people in the last few weeks took all of the bets of the above kind they could get and are now betting the Van Wyck people to a stand still at even money. To an outsider it looks like Me-too -Platt was going to first spend his "bar- rel" in electing Republican legislature aud if Roosevelt should not be elected lie will then be on the safe side. Van Wyck will be the winner is the ARGUS opinion.

BRINKLEK-THE TRoUBLEs

Brinkley with it's superior rail road facilities could have enjoyed the distinction of being the first city in the state to hold a Street Fair. The ARGUS was the first paper in the state to suggest for it's city such an interesting and paying enterprise. Now it is that Little Rock has decided to have one of these popular, beneficial en- terprlses and already other live "get up and get' towns of the state are beginning to figure along the same llne. "When will Brink ley do something to push ahead ," did you aski We'll, when our bus mess men awake to tine realization that q serious situation is staring them in the face. Whether or not their "sleep" will prove fatal we cannot say. Strange 1t is, too, that with as nice and clever set of business people as can be found anywhere in the world, they can't realize their mistake.
 It IS well known fact that there exists among our business people a feeling of "I don't like you no how" and it IS this feel ing that keeps them from getting together in any effort to push Brinkley. It is indeed an-nnpleas- ant duty for the writer to have to mention these matters, but sope- thine must be done. At the Mon roe County Wheat Growers Meet ing held last month, ocer thirty of our prominent business men sign ed a pledge to be in attendance at the meeting promptly ct the hour set. When each signature was se- cured, it was impressed upon the signer not to sign unless he intend ed to keep the pledge. The meet was held, as published last week, and there were about 40 people present, and out of the forty, there were only fce of the thirty business men who had pledged themselves to be in attendance.
 Comment here, IS entirely un- necessary. You may form your own conclusions quite easily.
 This is not the way citIes are builded.
 Something's the matter Some thing must be done, or else Brink ley will be absorbed by other neighboring and growing munich palities.
