THE SULTAN
PUTS ON
WAR PAIN 7

PARIS. Feb. 7.--Otficial advices
received are very disquieting. being
to the effect that the Sultan OF Turkey
has ordered the immediate mobiliza-
tion of quarter of million of troops
for a military demonstration in Mace
donia.
This Is presumed to mean that the
barbarians propose to begin other
massacres, and will be likely to in
volve complications between Turkey.
Russia and Austria, and may incite
the whole of Europe. 1t is understood
today that all of the powers are ex-
changing views as to the course to be
pursued toward this extraordinary
mobilization of Turkish troops.

F., 1t is said In the Texas country tho
average farmer can plant and harvest
| 100 acres of rice as easily as the farm.
er of Northern Texas or Kansas can
raise and care for Iav acres OF wheat.
The average profit Oh rice exceeds $50
an acre. and on wreat is only about
| sl2 so an acre. Prc-a Knapp. the gov
ernment expert on rice, says in China
and Japan the average crop per man
is from one to one and a half acres
In South Carolina nearly all the rice
Is raised on river bottoms.
During the past ten years 10000
persons from the north and west have
been attracted by the demonstration
of the fact that irrigation, in conjunc.
tion with methods successfully ap-
piled years ago to wheat growing in
the prairie states, would make rice
growing equally successful. The re-
suit is the existence of practically a
new industry in Louisiana and Texas,
with capital of 100000 invested
in 100 canals. 1.500 miles in extent.
and now capable under present water
conditions, of flooding 100000 acres,
and increasing each year.
1t will be seen that rice culture is
fast becoming one OF the industries
OF Texas. much of the land formerly
devoted 10 cotton growing being utu-
lied. II water can be secur in
abundance there is no danger of fail
ure.
Al Alvin, about so miles out OF Sal
weston and on the line of the Santa Fe
system, boys peddled strawberries at
% cents per box. The berries were
large and juicy and of fine flavor.
Berries commence ripening at Alvin
carly in January, and continue until
May and some people make a lot of
money off two or three acres as the
fruit is shipped all over the north and
east. 1t does not require hot-beds at
Alvin to secure early strawberries.
During our short sojourn In this
state we have been favorably i'm
pressed with many laws governing
the people, and while Texas is often
referred to as 'hell's half acre, some
of the older states o. the Union and
Colorado in particular. might do well
to copy after. but these matters will

1t is a strange fact that the United
States is letting one great industry,
the ocean freight and passenger bust
ness, go almost entirely to foreign
countries. We have more of this bust
ness to do than any other nation, but
we hire people of other nations to do
it for us. We only have $500 tons
of merchant shipping while Italy has
] $4,000, Norway 1,660,O00, France
/ ,4S0, 900, Germany 2,970,OO0 and the
British Empire l3,S00,O00. Our ships
do not do quite one-tenth of the ocean
carrying business of our own, over
nine-tenths being done by people OF
other countries, for which we pay
them over hundred million dollars
a year. We wonder that our states.
men do not contrive plans whereby
Americans may successfully compete
with the foreigners in at least our own
foreign carrying trade. We are all
interested in the prosperity of that as
well as the various other lines of in.
dustry of our country.

The Jefferson Souvenir has been
consolidated with the Jefferson Bee.
G. :. Turrill, who has been the editor
of the Souvenir for several years, is
taken in by the Stillmans as a part
ner in the Bee. Paul Stillman, how
ever, will be the editor. Mr.. Turrill
is the postmaster at Jefferson. These
two republican papers have contended
against each other for business for
many years. There used to be two
factions in the party there and each
paper represented faction. For the
past few years those factions have
been largely united. The business
men OF the town and the people of the
county could be better served, and
more economically, by one well sup
ported and ably conducted republican
paper than by two each having a less
business. The union was therefore
thought to be OF advantage to all con.
cerned. Both papers have been ably
conducted, but the Bee now will bs
warranted in expanding enough to
make 1t one of the very best weeklie,
in the state. Success to it.
