EXCHANGE INTERVIEWS.
Denison, Dallas and San Antonio had their
| fairs, and they were success Houston VIII
/ later, and In January Fort Worth Will have
her live stock show. Old Texas is rapidly
coming to the front as State that is not
afraid to show the world what she has, and
I invite the world to see it.-Denison Herald.
These fairs and festivals have done even
more than was expected of them by their
most enthusiastic promoters in the way OF
bringing the attention OF the outside world
to the resources and advantages possessed by
this state Each has been of benefit to the
State at large and especially to its own
section, aud there is room for more Of them
in Texas.
We notice In our exchanges that numerous
towns in Texas are getting cotton factories
and that. too by popular subscription. What
Is the matter with Lulins ?-Luling Signal.
There should be nothing the matter with
Luing Luling is an enterprising place ard
should be able to raise enough money by
popular subscription to build cotton fac
tory The Investment would certainly pay
and be of inestimable value to Luling com
mercially. The Signal should keep hammer
ing away ON this subject until the factory Is
built.
The Nncogdoches Phone is persistent in its
ondeavors to induce the people of Nacog
doehes county to have n creditab!e exhibit
ton Mt the Texas Fruit, Flower and Vege-
table Festival at Houston, and nearly every
| issue has something to say on the subject.
A late number of the Phone says;
/ Nacogdoches county could make credit
able exhibit OF tobacco and ribbon syrup at
the Fruit, Flower and Veeetabe Festival
! at Houston next month. 1t costs nothing ex-
copt little time and trouble to prepare and
send the exhibits. There has been SOME very
fine tobacco grown here this year and the
world can't beat the ribbon syrup made hy
the farmers of Nacosdoches county.
The people of Nacogdochos county would
do well in Bleeding the advice of the Phone.
Az that paper suggests the cost of preparing
credltable exhibit IS nothing. while the
benefits TO be derived are very great.

Wonder how Senator-eloct Charley Culbor
is on the question of imperialism? Ii is
snfe to guess that he is on the right side
Tyler Courier.
Senator Culberson has expressed himself
cmphatically on the subject of Imperialism
on several occasions. Texas junior senator
is unatorably opposed to imperialism, and
there is no mstaking his position on that
point.

Bryan is the greatest statesman in America
today, and Texas, the greatest State In the
Union, will give him a great big hearty re-
ception when he makes his Intended visit
Calvert Courier
Texas has warm spot in her heart for
Mr.. Bryan and the great leader of the demo-
cratic party Is always welcome within her
borders. Texas has always been and will
continue to be soldly democratic. hence Mr.
Bryan's visits are unnecessary for political
purposes, which makes them all the more
appreciated.
WOODEN mill at San Angelo would be
the cotton section arc advocating the bring
ing of the cotton mills TO the raw material
and we fail TO see why the same rule would
not apply advantageously to the wool indus

pounds OF wool each year, and loses nine
tenths Of the advantages to be derived FROM
that fact by being forced TO ship tho staple
north for manufacture. The gods help
