days ago returned from Chicago
where he attended a meeting OF dem
lists, said he was invited to give q
clinical demonstration, but when he
reached Chicago ne found that a
negro dentist was president of the
association and he fatty refused to
take the part assigned him. The
doctor also refused to attend q ban
quet given In honor of the dentists.
He says he told them he was from
Texas where negro domination Was
not permitted. He says, however,
the negro 10 very learned man

about three thousand dentists were
In attendance, and I'm spite OF the

Charley Miller, who travels for
the Mccormick Harvester Com
pany, said the other day to a re-
porter that several years ago he was
employed on the farm of Sam Hill
burn, three miles south of town.
He says hedistinctly remembers the
continued rains of that season, and
that farmers were keptSout of their
fields until March ~ On that date
the men employed~6n MFR. Hilburn's
farm began clesFfng stalks off the
land and that some time in April
one hundred Acres were planted in
ccrn. From this field Mr.. Hilhurn
gathered and shelled six thousand
bushels of corn, besides what was
fed to stock before Smelling time.
From this statement 1t would seem
that there is no need for alarm on
the part of Ellis county farmers this
year.

UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT


Mr.. B. X. Moffet has sold his en-
tire interest in the -four mill on
Bullard Heights to T. M. Sleep
er and associates, who win continue
to operate the mill under the char
ter name of the Modern Milling Co.
The newly elected officers are, T.
A. Ferris, president; s. P. Skinner,
vice president; It. NJ. Sleeper, sec
retary, treasurer and manager.
These gentlemen need no intro
duction at our hands. Their very
names suggest financial, legal and
business ability. Mr.. Ferris and
Mr.. Skinner were both reared in
Ellis county, and have achieved
marked success in their avocations,
the former as a banker, and the lat
ter as lawyer. Mr.. Sleeper has
been engaged in the grain business
in WaxaiIachie for ten years, and
is now operating the mill for the
Sleeper Grain Co., under a lease
from Mr.. Moffet.
The new company will take pos
session the first of June, and Mr..
Sleeper tells us that extensive i'm
provements will be made in time
for the next seasons run. Larger
conveyers will be put in to faeili-
tate the unloading and handling of
grain, and additional storage room
will be built. With ample capital
and increased storage capacity the
mill will be in a position to run the
entire season, day and night, thus
giving employment to an additional
set of men.
1t will be the aim of the manage
ment to sell in Ellis county the en-
tire output of the mill, and the
LIGHT believes that our people are
patriotic enough to feel it pleas
ure as well as duty to patronize
home industry.

Warning to Boys.

For some time past both white
and negro boys have been riding
Central trains up the grade to the
Katy crossing and walking back to
town. This practice is not only
dangerous, but itis a violation of a
state law and the offender is subject
to fine. City Marshal Tom Dixon
said this morning that he had hls
eyes on the boys and unless they
discontinued this practice at once
he was going to place them under
arrest as fast as he could catch
them.

Miss Virgie Anderson, daughter
OF Col. r. r. Anderson, and Miss
Minnie Timmons, daughter of Mr..
II. d. Timmons, are attending
school at Bristol, Va. Recently
these young ladies went with a
party of excursionists on a visit to
Washington City. Miss Virgie
writes the following interesting let
ter of their trip to her father:
My Dear Papa: We are in Wash
ington, having a glorious time. Ar
rived here Saturday night at 9:30
and have been on the dead trot ever
since. Attended St. Patriek's Ca
thedral and the Congregational
church on Sunday and also took n
trip on an observation car. Papa,
you just simply don't know how
grand II all is. just feel like /
ought not to pass by anything and
not spend the day. We met per-
sonaily Mr.. Roosevelt, Secretary of
Treasurer Shaw, Secretary OF State
Hay, and Secretary of the Navy
Moody. We all fell in love with
Hay and Shaw. Went through
great many public buildings yester-
day, Capitol, State, War aud Navy,
Treasury, White House and to the
theater TO hear Richard Mansfield in
julius Caesar which was also rand.
This eve we went to the Corcoran
art gallery and the beautiful library
of congress. think IL certainly
must be the next thing to paradise.
IL 10 too beautiful to say anything
about. We went into the Supreme
court room for awhile, also the Sem
ate and House, and L have decided
sure enough that I wouldn't like to
bs congressman, II, when got up
to talk they kept squabbling like
they do. We thought IL real funny
when man got real mad.
We have certainly been lucky on
this trip. A lady in town, who has
been working for the government
twenty years, has taken quite a
fancy to as and has been lovely to
us Ia taking us to places we could
not have gone to otherwise. Saw
money being made aud went through
the treasury. Went TO top OF Wash
ington's monument and walked
down. Saw all memorial stones.
Well, papa, have just returned
from the library tonight and 1T GER
tainly was pretty.
Today we went through the navy
yard and went aboard the presi-
dents yacht, and tomorrow we ex-
pect to go by water to Mount Yer
non and come back on the ear by
Alexandria and Arlington. l have
been packing my book around galore
and taking a few notes. Haven t
been giggling quite so much either.
Have gotten several books of views
and have taken quite a number of
kodak pictures. Papa, you do not
know how many times 1 have
wished tor you, especially in going
through the places where 4 know
you could explain.
We were very much disappointed
not to get to see Hon. Jack Beall for
he left before we reached here, but
we have met several Texas repre-
sentatives Cooper of Beaumont and
Sheppard of Texarkana. Well, papa,
/ must Gloss with love to all. Will
write more when / get "home."
