years past citizen of Texas, AZ.
rived here last Tuesday, and has
been putting in the time since try
ing to find suitable .plantatien.
He has enough of Texas, and is
desirous of returning to his old
home.
The reporter had a short talk
with MI. Land Thursday evening,
and from his conversation, it
would seem that he considers the
agricultural outlook quite gloomy
in Texas. There has been a gen
eral failure in both the corn and
cotton crops this year, and from
his observation and experience
cotton growing IN the clone
STAR state seams to be practical
ly doomed.
Tho trouble with cotton is on
account of the Mexican boil e.
vii. This pest began to make it's
appearance in Southern Texas
about ten years ago, and since
that time 1t has been spreading
northward and eastward, ut the
rate of about SO miles a year, Be-
cause of the weevil, cotton.raising
has already become thing of the
past in many portions of Southern
Texas, the farmers having chang
ed from cotton to rice, sugar cane
and other crops.

''for 40 bales Of cotton. That is
with good seasons, and no injury
from the weevi, | should have
had that much. 1t is not unusual
to make from a bale to bale and

than 5000 pounds of seed cotton.
"A large farmer near by had some
600 acres in cotton. and his yield
was hardly as good in proportion
as mine was.
"The department of agricul-
ture," Mr.. Land went on TO say.
"has had several expert entomoI-'
ogists in Texas for several years
past, trying to discover some
means of destroying the boil wee
vii; but up to this time nothing
has been accomplished. The
weevil makes its appearance with
the squares and blooms, and when
there is good season in June or
July at the fruiting period, just
at tho time good season is need

gets to the squares and blooms;

''In addition to the boil wee il
this year, the farmers of almost
the entire state have had to con-
tend with a terrible drouth. Ex-
cept in few localities, the corn

Texas farmers are having a rough
time of it. Mr.. Land is now
thoroughly satisfied that the Pied
mont section of South Carolina is
superior to any part of Texas as
a place to live in. "You have to
work harder here maybe" he
saye, "but there is never such q

General rains and lower temperature
throughout the cotton belt caused con-
siderable short covering and induced gen.
eral buying in the contract markets
both here and at Liverpool and open
ing prices n our market averaged eight
POINTS above Saturdays close. The mar
ket was very active and firm through
out the entire section, closing at the
best prices of the day. The January
option here is attracting considerable
attention, due principally to the existence
Of large and important long interest
for Wall Street account, and cotton is
being pointed this way from the South
for storage in this market the inten
tion probably being to hedge by sales Of
January, but in this connection it is
well to bear in mind that the stock
now available for delivery on New York
contracts is very low indeed and there
is ample room here for very large shiS-
ments from the South. IN fact our mar
ket should carr at this season at least
100, 900 bales of deliverable spot cotton
in order to render our future market
more staple and less liable to violent
manipulation.
Stocks of actual cotton the world over
are smaller than for many years at this
date with a single exception and the
general conditions surrounding the mar
ket would seem TO us to warrant at least
8 cents for. spring options. The most
conservative interests here advocating

advices were more encouraging than look

points higher, but subsequently realizing
an occasional break of to points.
Later however, reports of heavy rains
in Oklahoma and good rains in north
Texas combined with the official predic-
tions of cooler weather gnerally occa-
stoned a buying movement, as it was
claimed that these rains were beating
out open cotton and doing considerable
damage. Values were, therefore, en-
HANGED to points from the bottom,
making the net gain to 8 points on all
months except October, which improved
only 4 points Manchester advices were
more cheerful. There was better hNlian
inquiry Offers are slowly improving,
and prospects are encouraging. Many
leading China makers are in fairly
strong position and decline to repeat
previous sales. The movement continues
heavy, but exports are large, off-setting
the receipts, demonstrating that either
exporters or spinners are buying freely
direct in the interior. The fears of rains
in Oklahoma and northern Texas beating
out open cotton and the probability of
their being followed by colder weather,
as well as the expectation of an unfa-
vorable weekly weather report tomorrow
and the reported firmness of spots
throughout the South, all combined,
superinduced the strength apparent to-
day AS the days roll by the character
of crop accounts grows more pessimistic
and less inclination is shown by opera
tors to fight against an advance. 1t
must be. remembered that the general
opinion is that the world will require
over II 100000 bales of American this
year, and that the prevailing belief is
that the outturn will be considerably
under. With such sentiment existing
we continue to think well of buying on
all depressfons and taking advantage of
strong periods to realize profits.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Sept 22.-There was a
spasm of liquidation in the stock market
this morning and a somewhat feverish
and higher movement during the rest of
the day. This was inevitable after the
showing made by the banks on Saturday
of a deficit of over 81 100000 in the re-
serves required, but the comparatively
small effect in the market and the per-
sisteney with which efforts We're renew

was the slightest relaxation in the selling
pressure were again surprise to all ob
servers. The selling was somewhat scat
tered in it's origin as shown by the COM
paratively small size orders. The buying
orders, however, were concentrated and
in many cases were for thousand shares
and upwards, indicating the large re-
sources of the interests supporting the
market Considerable inroads were male
upon prices nevertheless, Missouri Ia
cific being a sufferer with loss of IA.

BISHOP ADVISES NEGROES
COIored Divine Says They Must De-
pend Upon Themselves for Pro-
lection Against violence.

CHICAGO. June 17-"The time has come
when the black man must depend upon
himself for protection. / do not stand for
mobs. but every negro should be prepared
to protect his home, his wife and children,
even to the death"
This advice was given at a meeting OF
negroes last night by Bishop Alexander
Walters Of the coored church Of Ohio, after
he had warned his hearers that all signs
pointed to time Of great trouble for them.
Bishop Walters is president Of the Afro
American council. The meeting was held
in the Olivet Baptist church and was called
for the purpose of taking action In the
persecution Of the negro residents OF Edo
rado and Harrisburg, ILL.,, and the lynChlng
of Louis Wright in Missouri last winter.
A resolution was adopted and telephoned
to Governor. Yates, calling on him to take
immediate steps to protect the lives and
property Of the colored people at Eldorado
and Harrisburg, Ill.
Governor Yates, who is in Chicago, said
last night: THE authorities have been
ordered to proceed against any persons who
may have been guilty of assaults against
the colored people of that locality and law
will be maintained"

PLOT TO KILL KING EDWARD
Sensational Story Afoat in London Which
Creates Discussion.
ASSERTED ILLNESS ONLY AN EXCUSE
According to Rumor Recovery Was
Complete when King was
Ensconsed Mt windsor
Castle.

LONDON, June IA sensational story
m 'irrent In London tonight of the dis
IT, 'Il - a plot to assassinate King Ed
waF IN story has created considerable
discusss'/ ewspaper and other circles,
but 1t is ding in anything like official
confirmation. According to the surrent re
port King Edwards sudden illness at Al
dershot was not due to a cold, but was
merely an excuse for Withdrawing his mai
esty from public functions owing to the
discovery by Scotland Yard Of a plot
against his life. The principals in this
plot have not yet been arrested.
1t is cited in confirmation of the story
that King Edwards recovery when he was
ensconsed a. Windsor castle was as COM
plete as his attack had been sudden On
the other hand it is pointed out that IL
his majesty's illness was merely diplomatic
the officials took a great deal of trouble
in keeping up the friction. Sir Francis
Laking, physician in ordinary to the king,
was summoned by telegraph to Aldershot,
his prescriptions were hurriedly filled and
everything about the kings apartments in
dtcated the genuine nature OF his Illness
Furthermore King Edwards journey from
Aldershot to Windsor in his motor car and
the subsequent drive today in Windsor park
do not seem to indicate any fear of a fur
ther attack upon his person.
At Scotland Yard tonight the utmost ret
icence was maintained concerning these
rumors. II was noticeable, however, that
the chief inspectors, who usually return
home at night were all on duty there, and
while they refused to see newspaper re-
porters until tomorrow morning they de-
clined to either deny or confirm the rumor.
