WANTS U. s. TO HELP
Texas Congressman Wants Uncle Sam to Donate $500, 1000 to
 Help Kill Boil Weevil.

Washington, Nov. 17.-Repre- sentative Slayden, of Texas, whose district was q heavy sufferer this year from the cotton boil weevil, brought hobby to Washington. He doesn't agree with Secretary Wilson's idea, that the only hope of the cotton growers to avoid the costly pest is to plant early. He believes a cure can be found, and that the finding will be hastened if Congress will add S500,000 to the $50, ,000 reward offered by the State of Texas for a practical method of destroying the weevil, and Is trying to make others be- lieve 1t.

try in Lancashire and it's vicinity: every trade has felt the effect of the late semi-paralysis of the busi- ness in cotton working, and 1t is lit tie wonder if grave contemplation is now being given to the question of cotton supply. Whatever the new American crop may be in ex- tent, it is, humanly speaking, safe to say 1t will not be more than sufficient to replenish exhausted stocks, and yield all to the worlds demands until another season brings its successor. It will be borne in mind that while the con- sumption has been reduced, even until the late date of October 20, the new crop has also fatally re- duced its output, compared to last season, by 600.000 bales up to the same date. Thus we have not been saving supply, because we have not had that supply to save. The experience of the cotton trade during 1903, however, must be learned, and quickly, and acted mon with promptitude. All indi- cations apparent, and, may we say, for years past, point to the fact that for some cause the pro- ductive nature of the cotton-grow- ing States in America IS no longer vigorous. Is the seed sterile, or less fertile, or is the land oyer- croppedl Surely the market price offered has been high enough to stimulate every effort to produce the article, and yet the result is lacking. There is another and important point Lancashire must note. While the supply from America is not increasing, the con- sumption by America is stead fly doing so, and absorbing more and more of that which has hither- to been the ifeblood of English spinning.
 The British Cotton Growing As sociation thanks to the magnifi- cent efforts of Sir Alfred Jones, K. c. M. G.-are making efforts in the proper direction to increase the supply so much wanted by oul mills here. These efforts should be assisted with the most deter. mined activity and intelligence by the leaders of our cotton trade 1T Lancashire.

MINISTRIES COMING.
Extract From The Columbia Daily
 State, September 2, 1902.

A. c. Aliens New Orleans min strels were in the city last night, and with the Labor Day crowd running loose eager for amuse- ment, the audience last night could not be accommodated. Thousands of people white and colored, were turned away from the door be- cause of the overcrowding of the large tent. It was estimated that $500 people were in the audience, and 1, ,500 or 2,000 more were turn ed away.
 The performance was free from all objectionable featuers, and those who paid the small admission fee seemed more than satisfied, if one might judge from the uproar- ious laughter ard applause which greeted the actors throughout the evening.
 The programe consisted of the usual first part followed by buck and wing dancing, monolgues, ban jo playing contortionist work, etc. Taken all in all the show could be we'll recommended as q clean, wholesome, boisterous production.
 Two of the drawing cards were banjo expert and clever female impersonator.

BECOMING ALARMED
Shortage of American Cotton Crop is q Serious Drawback to
 Foreign Spinners.

As indicative of the serious sit uation which the shortage of the American cotton crop is causing across the water we copy the fol lowing article from the Liverpool Journal of Commerce of October 23, 1903:
 At the present moment, in this country, the 6scalquestion attracts, as 1t should, almost general atten- tion. Meanwhile there is at the door of every Lancashire industry question demanding an answer, and that promptly. The question is-What are you going to do a. bout cotton supply2 The exper- fence of the past five months has surely been one not likely soon to be forgotten, either by manufac- turers, spinners, the operatives, or any other body of workers con nected directly or indirectly with the import, and working through to cloth, of raw cotton imported from America. After all, the loy- al combination of our spinners to reduce consumption, and its con sequent loss to millowners and shareholders, and severe suffering to those thrown out of employ ment, we find that active opera lions only begin again at the third week in October, or seven weeks after the new American crop is supposed to come to the market. Tine cause for this delay was sim ply the absence of the necessary article. The crop in America this year Is from two to four weeks late, and so supplies were delayed, until the warehouses in Liverpool and Manchester were practically empty.
 At last, however, we are receiv- ing sufficient to warrant the mills, or most of them, resumming full work, and doubtless the weaving sheds, so long bereft of their sup port, will quickly open to receive the yarn so eagerly waited for, and the whole industry may once more be again going with a full swing. Almost every part of the body commercial is affected by the condition of the cotton indus

DOC CAUSED
The TROUBLE.

Fruita has been having sensational
trial before the justice of the peace
for the past day or more.
jefferson Cosler has been charged
with an attempt upon the life of one
Harvey Phillips.
1t appears that brother of Jeffer-
sou Cosler has been paying attention
to Miss Phillips. He did not con-
tinue these attentions but lately mar
ried another lady, Miss Craig. This
brought bitterness between the Cosler
and Phillips families.
Last Sunday jefferson Cosler bro
ther of Seth Cosler who had been pay
ing attention to Miss Phillips and
who married another was passing the
Phillips home. The latter family
has very vicious dog and jeff Cosler
thought he would scare the animal so
that he would not threaten anybody
thereafter. So when opposite the
Phillips home and at about the time
the dog was running out at him he
fired four shots into the air from his
revolver. This was taken as reason
for bringing the charge that he had
attempted the life of Harvey Phillips.

to use the expression. Tilted by Cos

The case was aired in the justice
court and desiring to deal out equal
and exact Justice. his Honor decided
that the dog only was in controversy
and said he would dismiss the case
and tax the costs equally against both
plaintiff and defendant.
1t was a most and wise and Just de-
cision and might be emnlated by other
courts.

VERDICT FOR
DEFENDANT.

A case that has occupied the atten-
conclusion of the LaFair trial. was
quickly disposed of this afternoon on
the reconvening of court, by Judge
Theron Stevens instructing the jury
in the case to render a verdict for the
defendant company.
This the jury did at once. adopting
the verdict prepared for them under
the instructions of the court.
A great many witnesses were heard
in the case mostly railroad men.
There was large degree of inter
est felt in the case. The young man
Ely Toupain was we'll known to al
most every person in the city. his
father an old citizen and a respected
one and the boy being at certain ex-
tent the support of the father and
mother in their old age.
At the conclusion of the plaintiffs
evidence, the defendant company bv
its attorneys. moved that the court
give an instruction to the jury to rem
der verdict for the defendant com
pany, because the complaint of the
plaintiff did not state cause of ac-
ton; that the plaintiffs did not show
that the defendant company was neg
ligent that the proof shows the dece-
dent ely Toupain) to have been
guilty of contrib ltory negligence and
that the decedent assumed the risks
attandfn.r I, a,n,,lar,napt
The abov, was the language of the
motion made and sustained and upon
which Judge Stevens instructed the
jury to return verdict for the COM
pany.
In explaining the action of the
Judge Stevens said in part that it was
not the duty of the decedent. Ely Tou-
pain, to have looked back at the sig
nal board; that this wasI sInot in the
line of his duty; that he had known
of this board and that it was looked
or not. The court also said that a
| witness had testified that he has seen
the decedent dodge the crane several
times He said that if the decedent
Ely Toupain believed this crane to
have been dangerous he should have
quit working aud resigned from his
position.
The court stated further that while
he himself and doubtless others were
in full sympathy with the plaintiff.
that it were better to show that no
action would stand in law upon such
grounds and that we could better show
sym pathy by stopping further costs
in the matter. in case which he be-
lieved was hopeless. before the law.
In the case described above Felix
Toupain brought suit against the Rio
Grande company TO-, the suit of $4,000,
because of the loss of support of his
son.
