SMALLPOX REPORT.
'Dr. Sanders Hears From County
 Health Authorities.

Dr. W. H. Sanders. State Health Officer said yesterday that he was continuing to receive reports from the county health officers as to smallpox prevailing in counties of the State.
 1t seems that there is a considerable number of cases of the disease scattered about over the State. due, pr. Sanders says. in most instances to carelessness on the part of the people and indifference on the part of the authorities.
 The report from Jefferson County was received yesterday and it shows that there are over 100 cases of smallpox in that county, which is regarded as a very large number of cases In so small a ter ritory. There does not seem to be any alarm, however, or real cause for it, as the physicians have the cases pretty well under control and very few fatal eases have occurred anywhere.

Texas 100000 Bales Shy.

(From The New York Commercially
Urless there is an organized effort on
the Part of press correspondents ali over
the state of Texas to falsify concerning
existing conditions in their different To-
calities, the rayages Of the boil Teevil in
that state have lean underestimated
rather than overestimatad by the re-
lcrts that have been sent out before this
time, and the condition of the Texas
cotton crop is very bad.
1t is evident from the tone of the tele-
grams from Texas and the crop infor-
nation published in the newspapers of
that state that the Texas idea OF what
this years crop will be is very different
from the idea of a great many northern
Gotten men. In New York there is plen-
ty OF talk about a 4,0o9 o00-bale crap for
Texas, and the figure is very seldom
placed below 3500,000 bales, while in
rexes. where it is fair to be presumed
the situation is better understood than
it is in New York, a man receives news
paper notoriety as an optlmist OF the
n ost pronounced type if he estimates
the crop at 100000 bales.
In forty-twO reports front different
Texas cotton centers only three or four
are Indicative Cf $ large crop this
year as there was last. About two
thirds cf the teegrams tell of the raw
ages of boil Weevil and other pests;
nurabcr of them say the crop in certain
sections has leen ruined, and from every
place comes the report that the crop is
unusually late.
