The cotton crop is begin
ming to show up on the market pref
ty rapidly, 1913 bales, having been
received up to date, and in con-
versation with farmers from the
several sections of the country,
we learn that the yield will be
better than was expected prior to
the late showers and cool nights,
which have caused reaction, and
fields, where three weeks ago no
blooms could be seen, are now
white with the young crop She'd
ing of forms has about ceased, and
the worms are a thing of the past.
There are II few who claim they
will make n bale per acre, and
many half bale, while others
say it will take three acres to
make bale, If reports from
these people count for anything,
and we presume they can make a
pretty close estimate, the receipts
for Ballinger will be greater than
in any previous year.-Runnels

Trust VS.. Trust.

Recently the Retail Grocers'
Association made demand of
the Waters Pierce Oil Co. that
said company sell the members
of the association oil at III cents
per gallon, and at the end of
every month give them a rebate
of q cents per gallon on all oil
purchased, thus making the rate
to the members of the association
Is cents, while Others would pay
regular III cents. Waters Pierce
Oil Co. refused to comply with
the demand and most Of The mem
bers of the association then bought
Lone Star oil from the agent of
that company at Comanche. Now
Eupion oil is selling at 15c per
gallon by those merchants still
buying from the Waters Pierce
Oil Co. When and how the fight
will end is matter of conjecture.

San Angelo grocers should or
ganize an ASSOCIATION similar to

1t suits the purpose of some edi-
tors to hold up every rich man as
a plutocrat, when in fact there Is
vast difference between them,
occasionally. Occasionally we
see man who has accumulated
vast wealth, who is not in any
sense n plutocrat in either princi-
pie or politics. While on the
other hand there are those who
are as poor as the poorest and yet
have the plutocratic Sc itiment
that only the wealthy should rule
the country. Some of the best
friends of the toiling masses are
wealthy; some of the bitterest
enemies are poor.

SOFTCORF

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. 1t not only feeds
the bloodmaking organs but
gives them strength to dc

VIRGINIA, EXEMPLAR.

The birmingham News refers to the
late lynchiag in Amherst county, Vir-

lawlessness in general. 1t plenions the
fact that in this old and settled COM
lnunity the people have had every ad-
vantage of education and civilizing in
fuence, and that it is remarkable indeed
that in such community a mob of white
citizens have deliberately put a stain
upon their good name. Respect for the
law adds our contemporary, obedience
to its authority and a recognition OF its
mower as q necessary restraining inf1u-
ence to crime and degeneracy are the
criterion of peoples civilization and

Statesmen. and men in all parts of the
country look to her for an example. When
the people Of a refined and cultured COM
munity in the Old Dominion organize a
mob and take the law into their own
hands and deprive a human being Of life
without a trial in court, as guaranteed
by the Constitution. how can 1t be ex-

GENERAL HAMPTON DEAD.

Wade Hampton is dead. South Caro-
lina's grand old man has gone the way
of all flesh, but he has left noble
record; record of patriotism and cou-
ragcous devotion to principles and duty;
q, record Respondent in war and stain
less in peace.
He was a great soldier and a great
citizen. He fought for Southern rights
with all his strength Of body and MIND
and heart, and yielded not. until the
Confederate armies were overwhelmed
by superior numbers. He was not mere
lv a daring fighter; he was a noble SOL
der. who battled not for personal tame,
but for a great principle and Tor the
rights. Of his State. War did not make
Wade Hampton glorious. 1t was he and
u.ea like him and their gallant and man
" bearing that made our war glorious.
Hampton was equally as grand and
noble and admirable in peace. When
the war was over he retired to private
life and became a model citizen. He
never trafficked in his renown. He never
sold his influence nor lent his name to
any questionable scheme for gain. When
poverty came he was still the proud
and manly Hampton. When his home
was destroyed by fire and when friends
proposed to raise q fund to rebuild it,
he begged them to Gesist. He was afraid
that some might think that Hampton
was to receive a. pecuniary reward FOR
his service in war His sensitive nature
could not bear the merest suggestion of
such thing.
God bless his memory. He was IN
hoaor to the South. and all the South
honored and loved him.

Sudden ADVANCE
IN SUN-CuRED
Record. Breaking Prices Received
Here yesterday; $40 at
Stonewal| Warehouse.

S,,nc,1red tobacco, which has languished
somewhat during the past two or three
weeks on the Richmond market, has adj
,-anced8 suddenly and in some respects
roma rka bly; and sold yesterday on the
breaks here at extremely high prices.
Not before this season. and, perhaps,
FOR some years, has tobacco been COB.
bled Up so rapidly at such fancy figures.
The highest price of the day was Sot-
ten at Stonewall Warehouse. where lot
of tobacco owned by r. E. Brooks. OF
5c,rnline county, sold for $50 per hundred
mounds. This price is extremely high,
and breaks the record for the year and,
nerhaps. for several years. 1t is exceed
inglv rare when suncured tobacco brings
ca I,,1ch on the loose warehouse floor.
5T,be entire sale at Stonewall amounted
TO $50 pounds. One buyer alone pur
chased seven piles at the following prices:
$3.50. $50, SIS. SIS, $3.50, So and SIS.
At Sheburne Warehouse, also, tobacco
sold extra ordinarily high. OF the entire
break Of a. 2325 pounds. 1850 pounds
were s,lncured, which sold at an average
of s1274 a most unusual figure The
highest price at this warehouse was SO.
The best lot of tobacco sold there be-
1onged to William Martin. Of Caroline
county. and sold as follows: 235 pounds,
s14; go pounds, SIS; no pounds. Sls.~o:
go pounds. SIS: a25 pounds, si4.
The sudden rise in suncured is attrib-
uted to different causes. BY some 1t is
said to be due to the fine quality OF the
tobacco; by others to the fact that the
Continental Tobacco Company has re-
gun again to buy heavily on the :cea.
breaks. It is evident. however. that the
fact that Butler & Bosher, of this city,
have recently secured the navy contract
for 10000 pounds of suncured has served
to stimulate prices.
Mr. George A Haynes. proprietor OF
Stonewall Warehouse, has just issued
the following bulletin of prices now pre-
vaiing in the tobacco trade:
