Farmers Agree to Hold
for Seven Cents.

Midlothian, Tex, Sept. To-
Not bale of cotton has vet been
shipped this season, as the far
mers and merchants are holding it.
One thousand bales are stored in
town and twice as much more has
been hauled home by the farmers.
The gins are running on full time.
Nocogdoches, Tex, Sept H.
A delegation Of farmers from
nearly every neighborhood in the
western part of the country met
the farmers of Alizan community,
SIX miles west from town, last
night. A resolution was unani-
mously adopted, not to place any
cotton on the market before Oct.

reached before that time.

Summary OF the Situa-
ton.

Mr.. Nell's reiteration of his
historic estimate of Aug. IL has
caused everybody to forget that
any authentic claims of serious dam
age to the crop have been made.
In other words, it is now as before
MIR. Neil against the world.
Nevertheless the news from the
fields becomes more pessimistic,
from day to day. and many we'll
informed people are beginning to
believe that the bureau may not be
so wide of the mark, after all.
The experience of 1895 stands un-
shaken, and sufiices to give pause
to all but the boldest bears. What
if the bereau should be right. as in
1895? What, indeed? Well, what
ever else may be doubtful, one
thing is fairly certain: cotton
would not continue to sell at 81,
with manufactured goods on the
Scent level, aud tending upward.
Times Democrat
On the above subject the Plea
yune says:
There is very good reason fol
believing the crop will be consid'
erably short of last year, and, con-
sequeutly, will later on sell Al
higher prices, no matter what the
immediate effect Mr.. Nelll's views
may be. Merchants who have the
well-belng of this section at heart
will do we'll to warn their custom
ers in the country against the folly
OF placing implicit confidence in
big crop views aud urge them to
market their crop with d,scrlmina'
ton. At the present low price,
there is small chance of cotton going
lower; hence there is little risa
taken in acting deliberately and
without hurry or panic.

The Boston Herald, commenting
on the fact that yellow fever has
made its appearance in several
parts Of the South, says no appse-
hension exists throughout the coun-
try, and this is the best guarantee
against o panic which causes more
people to die OF fear than OF the die
ease. THIS is quite true, Yellow
fever, however, does not inspire
the terror it did in former years,
and this is due no doubt to Cue fact
that the health authorities have
demonstrated their ability 10 con
fine the disease TO the lucaiities in
which 1t appears and to STAMP It out.
This Was done very promptly aud
successfully at Hampton, Va. when
the fever broke out IN the Soldiers
Home. Again the disease seems to
have lost It's former mslignancy aud
now assumes q very mild type when
introduced il this country from the
tropics, very few persons dying who
contract the disease. This is shown
by the very low death rate at Key
West.

The sentiment in favor Ut nOmi-
mating all officers from governor to
constable bv a white primary is
growing stronger oil over the state.
In fact nothing but white primary
will satisfy the people. The people
are disguised with conventions and
the methods which too often control
such bodies. And then, there is
the population basis Of representa-
ton provided by the constitution.
The only way to avoid that unfair
basis is TO make all nominations by

The Texas Drouth.

The following dispatch to Times
Democrat gives the situation in
Texas up to last Friday:
Dallas. Sept. l5.--'rhis is the
.ixty-.econd day Of the most de-
structive 6routh recorded in the
history Of Texas. 1t has destroyed
!, 800, 900 bales OF cotton alone,
valued at 1872, OO0. 900. Aside from
q few light showers, xhicl: did more
harm than good, no rain has fallen
In two months. There are counties
upon which not q drop has fallen
since July.
Many farmers are through pick
ing and have turned theil stock
on tue fields. The balance will
have finished within the next thirty
days One bale is being gathered
now where four, i've and six were
last year. All the cotton gamblers
on earth can make no more than this
out OF the situation.
The most extraordinary efforts
are being made to induce planters
to hold hack their cotton until the
truth is known 20 the world. Bank
ers are advancing $40 per bale upon
it and the Commercial Club is etor-
ing and insuring it for nothing.
Every one believes it will advance 10
cents per pound when Europe finds
out there is no truth in Neill's re-
ports, and that the crop in NO event
will 90 over 5000. 900 or 1900, 900
bales.
Later A fine rain occurred in
Dallas last Sunday. As to the
good it will do cotton everybody
saws it is too late to effect it that
the plant is dead beyond redemption
by moisture, and that it will not In
crease the crop ten bales.
