For SELF HELP.-Fight your own
battles. Hoe your own row. Ask no
favors Of anyone, and you'll succeed
thousand times better than one who Is
always beseeching someone's influence
and patronage. No one will ever help
you as you can help yourself, because
no one will be so heartily interested in
your own affairs. The first step will
be such long one, perhaps; but cary
ing your way up the mountain you
make each one lead to another, and
stand firm while you chop still another
out. Men who have made fortunes
are not those who have had $4,000 given
them to start with; but boys who have
started fair with a well-earned dollar
or two.-Gadsden (Ala.) Times-NeWs.

the TEXAS STORM.
Department Estimate Of Damage to AgrleuI-
tural interests.

IuIdI lnI6ToStS.
The statistician Of the department of
agriculture at Washington, on last Fri
day, completed his investigation Of the
agricultural situation in those coun-
ties in Texas which were visited by the
West India hurricane of September 8.
Reports have been received from the
departments correspondents and from
many other prominent citizens identi-,
fed with the agricultural and CONNER
cial interests Of Southern Texas. The
special agents have personally visited
the storm swept region and carefully in
vestigated the existing situation.
Much valuable assistance has been rem
dered the department by the census Of
fee in determining the acreage Of the
crops prior to the storm.
The area under cotton in the counties
in which serious damage resulted from
the storm was approximately 100000
acres, with promise on September 1
Of a crop of about $4,000 bales. The
reduction Of the crop is estimated at
about $4,000 bales or 10.6 per cent. On
a basis Of $50 per bale, the amount de-
stroyed would represent value of $3,-
40O, 900.
The area under corn is estimated at
about $4,000 acres with an estimated
production Of 1,750.000 bushels. The loss
TO the crop. is estimated at about a
million bushels, or 81 per cent, repre-
senting a value Of about $50O.OO0.
The loss Of rice is estimated at 900
barrels, of four bushels each, repre-
senting value Of about $219.0O0.
OF pecans, there Is an estimated loss
of 2,580.000 pounds valued at 100000.
Three thousand trees valued at $4,000
are reported destroyed. The loss Of
farm animals Is estimated at 300 horses,
$50 mules, 10000 cattle, $500 sheep and
900 swine. representing total value Of
about $49O,OO0.
The loss Of sugarcane, sorghum and
other minor crops has not been ascer-
tained with sufficient definiteness to
warrant publication Of an estimate.
Exclusive Of the damage to farm pro-
ducts machinery, etc., the total loss is
estimated at $5,000,0O0.
It should be stated that all the coun-
ties visited by the storm were included
in the crop report issued October 10.

NOT A TRUST.
Chairman James K. Jones Defends the Round
Bale Company.


Chairman J. X. Jones, Of the Demo-
cratic national committee, has issued
statement replying to the references
by Governor Roosevelt and others to
the American Cotton company, Of
which Senator Jones is an officer, and
which 1t is charged is a trust. In his
statement Senator Jones said:
'The American Cotton company with
which am connected, Is no more
trust than any commercial house, any
stock farm. any cotton plantation, any
other Industrial enterprise in the Unit
ed States. The company, as I have
heretofore explained, operates patent
right. OF course it seeks market for
it's product and steadily seeks to ex-
tend its business. Roosevelt's allega-
tions that am connected with trust
Is as mendacious as the Republican
charge that the Democratic party Is
composed Of anarchists, and that the
Democrats contemplate an assault up
on the supreme court Of the United
States.
Roosevelt might just as we'll de-
nounce me for growing cotton on my
lands as to denounce me for being con-
nected with the American Cotton COM
pany. If Roosevelt is ready to move
for the abolition and prohibition Of all
patents and copyrights, will make
ready to consider the question. The
customers Of the American cotton COM
pany, operating under a patent, have
as many rights. or ought to have, as
the customers Of the company operat-
ing under a copyright that sell The
Rough Riders and other works pub
lished by Roosevelt.
Because the Democrats oppose
trusts and monopolies is no reason why
Democrats should not engage in legit-
mate business. Because we advocate
equal rights and oppose special privi-
leges, Roosevelt seems to think we ought
to abandon industry and business alto
gether. This alone shows the degrad-
ing influence Of the trusts now con-
trolling the Republican party. They
would spread this spirit of the trust
over the intellect and political thought,
If they had the power

were arrived at October 16, between

1.-The German government and her
British majesty's government, being
desirous to maintain their interests In
China and their right under existing
treaties, have agreed to observe the
following principles regarding a mu-

Weather Crop Bulletin.

The week ending Monday a. m. was
warmer than usual, the daily excess O
temperature ranging from to degrees
During the last three days the heat was
intensified by high southerly winds and
| 100 per cent. of sunshine, causing very
rapid evaporation of the moisture sup.
piled by the showers of the early part
Eof the week. In portions of the north.
west and west central districts rain is
much needed.
The conditions have been generally
favorable for planting corn, and in the
southern and central sections that work
lis nearly completed, under very favor
able conditions for rapid termination.
In the northern section planting is well
advanced and few days of dry weather
will be sufficient to finish it. Reports
indicate that termination has been fair
ly good in early planted fields, and in
numerous localities cultivation is in pro-
gress. On the whole very large corn
acreage is likely to be planted somewhat
in advance of the average season.
Oats, spring wheat, barley and grass
are doing notably we'll in nearly all
parts of the state. Fruit prospects con-
tinue to be good, and injury from frosts
has been very light.
