NEW GOLD STRIKE

A HARD LUCK STORY.
A Convict Escapes the Day
His Pardon Was Received.

Austin, Tex, Feb. 10
Some men are born to be I'M
lucky. Many years ago a
man was sent to the peniten-
tiary from a Texas county toE
life. Recently some new evid-
ence was brought to light
through the efforts Of friends
and a pardon for the prisoner
was asked for. The prison
records were investigated and
it was found that the prisoner
had always complied strictly to
the prison rules, and his good
behavior was in his favor. A
thorough investigation of his
case was then made by the
board of pardons. with the re
suit that his pardon was re-
commended. The Governor
next went through the papers
and he, too, decided that the
pardon was deserving and it
was accordingly made out
and forwarded to the super
intendent of the peniteutiary
at Huntsville. Destiny, howe
yer, was against the unfortu-
nate, for the very day that the
pardon was granted by the
Governor the prisoner made
his escape from a convict camp
and now the Governor in all
probability will revoke the par
don. This was the first time the
prisoner ever violated the
prison rules and it was indeed
a cruel fate that prompted him
to make this first violation on
the very day that he was to be
given his freedom.

MEXICAN NEWS.
Exiled Guatemalans to Re

to Save the

Mexico City, Feb. To-
General Morales, of Guatema-
Ian revolutionary antecedents,
speaks highly of the late Pres
ident Barrios as a man, al
though bitterly opposed to him
politically. Morales will soon
return to Guatemala, accom-
panied by many of the exiled
revolutionists. The country is
said to be in a state of utmost
confusion, according to tele-
grams received today. The
revolutionists who crossed
over into Mexico during the
recent revolution, and who set
tied at Pachutla, will undoubt-
-edly go back, to endeavor to
overthrow the Barrios party.

He Played the Devil.

BOURBON. ND, Jan. lS.-Rev. Mr..
Akin, pastor Of the flock Of Bethel
Church, Sunday night took for his
theme. ';his Satanic Majesty"
lie is an eloquent man and he
painted the arch-fend in vivid colors.
At the close of the description be-
ing dressed to represent devil, with
a large head and switching tail ambled
up the aisle, blowing smoke from It's
nostrils and believing:
81 am the devil, and I want all Of
you"
The audience became panic-strick-
en-. Men, women and children were
hurled to the floor and trampled upon
in the mad rush for the door. In the
confusion the stove was overturned
and the building caught fire. Before
the Mortified members regained their
senses the fire had made such head
way that all attempts to save the
church were in vain. This morning
George Akin, son of the pastor, con-
fessed that he, with the help Of other
boys, rugged up devil suit, and,
knowing the subject Of his fathers
sermon, concealed himself behind
chair and awaited the arrival of the
congregation.

have to sell 100000 to 10000
bales Of cotton to foreign spinners,
without nrnfit

have to sell 100000 to 100000
bales Of cotton to foreign spinners,
without profit.
The cotton crop can and should be
made the most profitable in this coun-
try. 1t is wholly the planters fault
that such is not the case, as the fig
ures in this letter clearly show.
The cotton interest of every kind
everywhere would prefer an advancing
market to a declining one, good prices
to poor ones, because trade in all Of
its ramifcations is suickened there
by. Even the consumers of cotton
goods are so slightly affected by an
advance Of even two or three cents
per pound in the raw material that
they are not unwilling that the planter
be we'll paid for his labor. But if the
planting interests Of the South con-
tinue to increase the cotton acreage
year after year, continual loss is in
eyitable.
The mere fact that large crop has
been planted affects the price adverse
ly at once, and continues to affect it
until the crop has been marketed. and
if the planters Of the South would de-
termine to largely reduce the acreage,
favorable influence upon prices and
the cotton trade Of the world would
at once become apparent.
By the systematic and cooperative
action between the merchants and
planters the cotton crop must be kept
within reasonable trade demands or
else destroy the most valuable source
Of profit to the mercantile and agri
cultural interest of the South. For
the good of all concerned, it would be
infinitely better any year to make q
million bales less cotton than half
million bales more than is necessary.
The material welfare Of the Sonth is
more dependent upon her cotton crop
than upon all other sources Of income
combined, and it is entirely with the
planters and cotton commission mer-
chants to determine whether the value
of this crop shall from year to year be
a source Of annually increasing profit
or source of disappointment and .
loss. Very truly.
