guest at the home OF MIR. T. w. House
while here, but he took dinner at inc
Capitol yesterday in company with
number OF friends
Governor Savers had nothing to say Tor
publication when approached by repre-,
sentative OF The Post yesterday. lie TOTO
OF his plans for the next few days. as
outlined above, and said that he expected
to see a very large crowd in Houston
during the coming week, attracted hither
by tho various interesting features OF the
festival.
Or. S. w. Johnston, prominent citizen
OF Corsicana. is here In attendance on the
Grand Lodge meeting. To representa-
tive OF Tho Post yesterday he said that
State were good and that every ono was
happy. The receipts of cotton at Corsi-
cana up to date have been 10000 bales,
and DR.. Johnston is of the opinion that
the amounts being held by farmers In the
surrounding country are very small IN
deed. The crop in that vicinity was shout
33 la per cent short and DR.. Johnston
believes that the total Texas and Indian
Territory crop will not be as large as the
popular estimate makes 1t.

Mr. Theodore woldert, prominent at
torney of Tyler, is in the city for the
purpose OF attending the meeting Of the

Colonel l.. ]. Polk, general manager OF
the Gulf. Colorado and Santa Fe railway,
was in the city yesterday attending the
meeting of the Texas Car Service asso-
/ citation. He has just completed a tour
of the State and when asked regarding
the truth of the statements that cotton
is being held at gins and in first hands,
he stated: IL say emphatically that such
is not the condition OF affairs. There is
no more cotton being held back this sea-
son than heretofore; in fact, I am salts
fed that the amount is less than ever be-
fore. My observation is that It has moved
out of first hands and from gins and the
simple tact OF decrease IN the amount
into sight up to the present time is so
marked as compared with previous crops,
does not carry with it the argument that
cotton is being held back"
Mr.. George L. Noble, assistant general
superintendent of the International and
Great Northern, was present at the time
Colonel Polk was asked regarding the
matter and he spoke up at once and in
dorsed the statement. He has been watch
ing the movement of cotton along the In
ternational lines and he is satisfied that
cotton is not being held either in first
hands or at the Gins.
