9th and 10th.
Mr. Jordan has been deeply interested
in securing the passage of better fertilizer

farmers than the present laws, and has
already bin pending in the house of rep

ers of agriculture desire to draft, If possi-
BILE, bill at the coming meeting. which
will be acceptable to all the states and

the commissioners, their chemists and the
representatives of the fertilizer manufac-
turers on the dates named, and assist in

ers' association, was in the city recently

ers and owners of cotton could obtain
from the banks an advance of a maximum
of $50 a bale on their cotton, the advance
to draw 6 per cent interest. This arrange
ment is to be perfected, If possible, with
banks at Dallas, Houston, Fort Worth
and Waco, thus enabling the farmers to
get some sort Of warehouse privileges
whereby they can get the benefits of any
rise there may be IN the price of cotton.
''Will the crop of the state of Texas be

GERMANS APPLAUD CHUN.

LONDON. Sept 26.-The Berlin cores
pendent of The Times says that Prince
Chun will officially conclude mis- mission

Genoa on Sunday.
In regard to invitations to other courts
II Is said to be doubtful II Prince Chun
received any, but he has been DESTROYS OF

lishments which desire he cannot now

The Kreuz Zeitung fears that Chun's
experiences in Germany have not result
ed in the impression II was desired to
produce of the Chinese special envoy.
The honors and attentions paiO to him
may have obliterated from his mind all
thoughts of the gravity of the crime
which 1t was intended that the mission
should expiate Chun has often been
cheered by thoughtless crowds In Ger
many, and may regard himself as the he

NAUTICAL for 1t to be worth while TO make
EFFORTS to impress upon him the superior

Another thing he said

thus to value It," Another thing he said
was:
whatever superiority Germany, Eng
land and the United States have over 9TH
er nations is due to the reverence OF
many of their people for the word of God.
One of the ablest of American dailies,
paper whose intellectual supremacy is ac-
knowledged by scholars said editorially:
The Bible is bound up with our coun-
try's history. 1t has entered into the
countrys life. 1t is the chief moral pow
er In the United States To the infiu-
ence of this book said General Grant
we are indebted for all the progress made
in true civilization
In closing Mr.. Shelton showed the need
of greatly increased number of Bible
teachers.
If Christian young people in our land
were once brought to see how choice the
opportunity is that is presented to them
to teach the word of God" declared Mr..
Shelton, there seems to be no good rea-
son why thousands of them should not
speedily qualify themselves to meet It,.
The best Biblical helps, the most practical
and scholarly works of the worlds most
learned men are now accessible, even TO
students of moderate means. A few hours
each week. devoted prayerfully, industri-
ously and Systematically to the study Of
the scriptures and to the most approved
teaching methods, would in a compare
lively short time qualify one to at least
begin the teaching of the word"

OR, WHITE HOME
FROM OKLAHOMA
ATLANTA MAN WHO WAS sUc-
cEssFUL IN LAND LOTTERY
IN THE WEST.

DR.. ]. c. White, the Albanian who re-
Gently drew a lot in the Oklahoma dis
trict, has returned from the reservation,
where he went to look after his interests.
DR.. White talks Interestingly of the new
ly opened land and in graphic manner
describes the way in which cities rise
within a few weeks from the level prairie
land where before stood only the tents of
thousands of sturdy farmers and ranch
men who are seeking their fortunes in the
new district.
According to DIR. White, Lawton, Okla.
has already become thriving town of
1900 Inhabitants. The allOtments in Ok
lahoma already represent more than 10000
people and railroads, artesian wells and
every, evidence of progressive civilization
is being rapidly built.
DR.. White ran across several Georgians
out there. among them being Colonel NJ.
T. Perkins, of Gainesville; Colonel J., A.
Baker, Of Gainesville; Mr.. Brazleton and
two sons, of Gainesville; Mr.. Bruce. OF
Admission, and Colonel King, of Admission,
a brother of Porter King.
All of the lots contain 160 acres. DR..
Whites lot is about 80 miles from Law
ton in Comanche county, and a little
over a mile from the Frisco railroad.
DR.. White has undergone the novel ex-
perience to a tenderfoot of sleeping out

ing of many coyotes. He says that there
are no negroes out there and that there
will be none, as the Inhabitants do not
desire an influx of negro population.
f. The settlers most of them come from
Texas. Arkansas and other nearby states.
and are the best class of people. who have
moved to the new country with desire
to benefit themselves in a substantial way
and build up cities and towns of which
they may be proud.
DR.. White is enthusiastic over the out
look and says that the district will within
a short time be abreast with the times in
every respect.

home, held her hand and did nothing. The
daughter denied the statement of her
mother and said she worked in a wooden
mill and gave her money to her mother

mother was squandering her hard earned
money on a boarder and she then gave
up her position
Wednesday afternoon the mother at
tempted to punish the daughter and
free fight followed. The mother claimed
the girl beat her with bed Stats and parts

in some home. can't bear her any long

IT don't know of any home to place her
in" replied the judge.

then. I'd rather she be slave than re-
main at home and beat her poor old
mother"
The girl was remanded to the care OF
Matron .Bohnefeld who will endeavor 10
find her a home. The case against the
mother was dismissed. ".'
