DIXIE OFF FOR COLON.
Cruiser Carries 600 Marines and d
Cargo of Supplies.

Philadelphia, Dec. 27-The Sabbath stiffness
at the League Island Navy Yard was broken
to-day by the hurried fitting out OF the cruiser
Dixie for her trip to Colon and tonight the
vessel lies in the Delaware River ready to sail
tomorrow morning. The activity at the yard
Tesembled the busy scenes there previous to the
Spanish-American War.
Brigadier General Elliott, commanding the
marine corps. who is going to the isthmus on the
Dixie, arrived in the afternoon. Three COM
panies of marines. from Boston and the
others from Washington, also arrived. They
were marched to the barracks. and later were
sent on board the cruiser. Altogether, the Dixie
will take south 600 marines. who will be under
the command of Lieutenant Colonel Waller.
The work Of loading the cruiser continued
until midnight Saturday, and completed this
afternoon. The quantity and character of the
cargo indicate that the government expects a
long campaign at Panama Her holds and decks
are crowded to the limit with stores.
Besides the regular stores and other outfit for
the marines the Dixie will take five wagonloads
of small arms ammunition, larger quantity Of
lumber. camp supplies and number of wagons.

REPLIES TO DIR. MAXWELL
T. B. COnnery Says CRUZ Of Part
Time Question Is Ignored.

In reply the statement made by DR.. Maxwell,
City Superintendent of Schools, recently, Thomas
B. Connery gave out the following yesterday:
When one sets out TO deny a disagreeable truth.
II Is always Well to DO II roundy, with repetltons
and reinforCemeHtS after the manner of my dlStn-
guished friend, the City Superintendent of Schools
Thus, in denying my assertion that the new eighth
dren OF proper education. he declares mot twenty
thousand" mot two thousand" not TWO hum
bred, mot twenty mot two" children have been
deprived of education. That kind OF denial looks
acquainted with the subject, though II is in no
sense a candid answer TO my assertion
Why? Btcause the superintendent Omits to ex-
plain that the twenty thousand children referred
struction, would be the case under proper man
agement. Therein lies the crux of the whole mat
ter, and L am quite unwilling to allow our master
pedagogue TO ignore it,
the assertion that twenty thousand chill
dren deprived of proper education by DR..
MaXwelrs act and stick to It II he thinks that
the part time shift is good enough for twenty
thousand children when avoidable, do not agree
with him, nor do think the parents will. Further
more, I want TO add that in fixing the number at
that figure ! studiOusly moderate for be-
neved 1t TO be much larger figured on a low
estimate, in order TO be well within the mark. In
one school alone l found several hundred in the
eighth year classes
1t is easy for a reader even one not acquainted
seventy thousand or eighty thousand scholars
presenting themselves for admission September
!, II was bad judgment to tack extra year,
thus practically surrendertng to the advanced
twenty or more thousand sittngs that ought to
have been reserved for beginners.
That is all l wish to say in answer to Dr. Max
wells charge that made misleading state
genial face Of oveT-ambitOus superintendent IS
attractive. And there you are"

FROZEN MIGRANTS At FIRE.
Firemen Aided by Fireboat in Saving
Lumber Yards.

Frozen hydrants greatly hampered the fremen In
their efforts to extingush a fire that started in a
stable Thirteth-st and the East River yesterday
and threatened to sweep the entire block most Of
which consists of large lumber yards. The arrival
of the freboat William L. Strong which responded
to a second alarm helped the 1remen out of their
predicament the vessel pumping large streams Of
water on the flames.
dozens Of wagons that had caught fire were rushed
into the street and allowed to burn, the hremen
pending their efforts the fire proper. The flames
were first seen by Frank Weinert, employee in
Jacob Doll G. Co.'S lumber yards, at No. 5l2 East
Thirtieth-st He turned in an alarm and rushed to
the stable With the aid of several men he got the
twenty horses into the street. Outside the stable
were several piles of lumber thirty feet high The
flames. after consuming the stable and several

planks across the street and in some cast
them into the river before the flames could be
controlled. The two story cold storage warehouse
OF the Swift Beef Company, of Chicago which ad-
Joined the stable yard, caught fire. and about 500
damage done u the building.
In response to the first alarm engine No. 16 ar
rived, and hose attached to hydrant in
The middle of the block. The hydrant frozen,
however, and the engine had TO go to another

OF COTTON CROP


Yesterday the Houston Post is-
sued the second of a series of crop
reports that will be issued at inter-
walls during the present season. The
following summary of reports by
correspondents Is given:
The reports generally bear date
from June s to June IL, and the eff
feet of the heavy downpour over the
state Saturday and Sunday is not
considered. Many of the CORES
pondents, however, state that just
such a thing was needed, and there
can be no doubt that conditions have
improved in the last three or four
days.
The reports indicate that at a date
so late a crop was never more I'M
certain than the present one. The
late spring and cool weather in May
has caused replanting to such an
extent that the plant is about a
month behind time. While the ia
vorable start made at first has been
destroyed, much moisture has put a
good season in the ground and
with good weather for growing in
July and August there is every in
dication that a big yield can be made
even on the present stand.
The enlarged acreage promises to
play an important part in the pres
ent crop. The reports indicate that
the increase may reach 5 per cent.
The counties in the Northern and
Western portion of the state where
tn e boil weevils have not appeared
will furnish the greater part Of the
increase, while in the Southwestern
counties where the insect has been
most destructive the acreage is
slightly smaller.
The insects of which complaint is
made consists chiefly of cut worms
and web worms, with attacks from
grub worms, sharpshoOters and
grasshoppers noted in some II
ties. The boil weevils have appear
ed in Southwestern Texas and i'll a
few places in Central and East
Texas,
Farm operations as a rule have
been very much retarded. The plant
has suffered seriously from the eff
fects of cold nights and is yet in the
early stages of it's growth. Under
the circumstances the outlook can
not be accounted entirely favorable,
but there is every reason to believe
from the reports that a splendid
crop can be made during the sum
mer months.

FROM THE FIELD.

The citizens of Ellis county, with
our assistance, have built the Enter
prise large and strong, and we, who
are at the head of it, have ~endeavor-
ed 10 run it in the interest of the
great masses of the people who sup
port il. With all other good citizens
of the county we know that better
roads are needed. AS to this prop
osition there is no controversy, but
the main question is, how are we TO
get better roads? With all the lights
before us we thought it best to vote
the ten cent tax asked for by n
commissioners court, and so we
advocated that in our col
umns. a majority of the voters
taking part in the election did not see
it in that light and voted against the
tax. / stated in N of my articles
some time since that if the people
did not vote this tax and no help
was given in the way of better roads
that my three thousand dollar horse
was as strong as anybody else's
horse and / would bog with the
balance of you; and now that the
election Is oyer and the people have
spoken by their votes we feel that
VIC HI A41 NcAA3AA&s AAVAV ~
not on top side of earth an institution
that will more cheerfully submit to
the will of the people when they
speak than tie Enterprise and it's
management. But the day is COM
ing when conditions will change,
when / believe the citizens of this
county viii gladly accept and vote
to build better roads, IL will have
to be done. Many people voted
against the ten cent tar proposition
because they did not believe ii suf-
ficient to do the right kind of work.
As in the past, this paper will con-
tinue to advocate what 1t cOnceives
to be for the best interests of the
people of Ellis county, and in this
connection we are moved to say that
the editorial appearing last week on
the road situation seem to meet the
approval of all with whom we have
talked on the subject.
Our excursion to the Farmers
Congress Ia already getting a boom
on 1t. A great many have already
made application for tickets, and
there is certain to go from here as
many as sixty people and possibly
more. The train will leave Wax
ahachie Tuesday morning, July T.,
attl1 O'Clock, and all who wish TO go
with US must be on hand by lO:30.
Ny wife and her sister, Miss Alice
Simmons, will go with me this year
and we cordially invite all the ladies
who can go and wish to do so, to go
with us on this splendid trip. And
the boys too. There will be an
organization of boys perfected at
this meeting of the Congress and
every boy who wants to be a better
farmer should 90 down, join this
league and get new inspiration and
new ideas. INNOCENCE.
