Champion Cotton Crop.

Mr.. J, y, Autrey, who lives on
the Or. Sweat farm three miles
south OF the city, has the champion
cotton crop In this part OF the couu-
ty. He was In the city this morn
ing exhibiting a number of plants
pulled from his field. They appear
ed TO be ten or twelve inches high
and were loaded with squares. The
plant was in a good, healthy condi-
tion and did not show any signs of
having been injured by insects.
Mr.. Autrey said he has thirty acres
of cotton which he planted about
April !. He has plowed IL three
times and chopped 1t twice and says
the ground is in good condition and
the plant Is growing nicely.

Millions OF Silver.

The Houston and Texas Central

silver ore from Galveston to Fort
Worth at which point it will be
transferred to the Rock Island for
transportation to the smelter at
Pueblo, Col. There were fifty-two
cars, averaging thirty-five tons of
ore to each, the total being valued
at more than seven and a quarter
million dollars. The ore was from
Chill and was shipped to Galveston
by steamer.

GOOD CROPS LOOKED FOR
Corn and Cotton o Month Behind
But Looking Well.

DBllhS lIles- nSFaiU.
All Texans are interested directly
or Indirectly in Texas crops and
news of their condition is always
read or listened to by the average
Texan. There have been frequent
reports to make of Texas crop con-
ditions this year for crops change
with the weather and the weather
has changed very often this season.
At the beginning of the year while
heavy rains were falling and the
ground was soaking with wetness
everybody who thought OF the mat
ter at all expected the harvest Of
1903 to be rich indeed. The rains
kept falling, however, and farmers
had no opportunity 10 prepare their
lands for the spring planting. Glad
expectations gave way To glooming
and forebodings and these pessimis-
tic feelings were not driven away
till the sun began to filter his rays
down through the murky atmos-
/ phere again. 1t was then late for
the Texas farmer to begin the work
that should have been completed, i,
/ but he buckled on his working suit
and resolutely set ont to catch up
with the procession. Several weeks
OF good weather enabled the farmers
/ To get their lands In rather good
shape and, late as was the season,
dreams Of a glorious harvest began
once more. These were temporari-
I ly blasted by another siege OF rain
and cold wave that brought frost
on icy wings A frost at the begin
ming Of May was almost without
! precedent and it left traces behind
it that are stIIl evident.
May followed with one warm day
and three chilly ones-all Of them
dry. The rains of few days ago
were needed everywhere and the
growing crops have begun 10 show
the beneficial effects OF the mois-
ture that visited nearly every Sec
tion OF the state. Farmers and all
. f
the rest OF the season may De more
seasonable. II thsir hopes are real
ICED, the harvests they expected
will not be missed very far.
The conditions OF the staple crops
may briefly be stated In this way
The wheat and oats are good. The
7 pfy.ta~ .aus eva., a {r, . as,,. .Aut i-
fas above the average st this season
OF the year aud the spring crop is
much better than was expected two
weeks ago. The wheat crop Of the
Panhandle promises TO yield an
enormous harvest and the wheat In
all the several tiers OF counties
north of Dallas is very good. Grain
men expect the oat yield to nearly
equal any the state ever grew and
they are counting on the wheat
yield to be quite as large as any
Texas has ever Known.
Both corn and cotton are fully a
month behind but both are looking
well, and with a good season, will
produce enormously. The very un-
seasonable weather conditions, as
told above, have caused the lateness
of the corn crops, but farmers are
not at all discouraged and are con-
fidently expecting better weather
and the great productiveness Of the
soil they till to bring them out OF
the hole that very discouraging
weather conditions throughout the
year have produced.

ing made a general tour of the Flor
ida branches of the system. 1t is ex-
mart of to-day in Savannah and will
visit the terminals on Hutchinson Is
land and inspect other parts of the
property.
The party is making a tour of in
spection of the system, and, it is
thought, while in this section may be-
come interested in a financial way in
a number of the small lines that act
as feeders to the main lines. That
such is the possibility is shown by the
fact that an appointment with the
party has been made by the president
TniO inc nd
Railway, extending from Unions
Springs, Ala, to FIT. Davis, and it is
believed that his object is to get the
Seaboard Air Line to finance an ex-
tension of his road into Birmingham.
Another matter of much interest in
connection with the present tour of
the party is the reported acquisition
of the Atlantic and Birmingham. This
report became public when the Triton
and Northeastern and the Triton,
Thomasville and Gulf were bought by
r. Jefferson Coolidge, and though no
official announcement has been made
that the combined Atlantic and Birm-
ingham has passed under the control
of the Seaboard Air Line there is little
doubt among men familiar with the
affairs of the two roads that such is
a fact.
Color is lent this opinion by the
knowledge of a little of the back his
tory of the Atlantic and Birmingham.
1t seems that the extensions of that
line and the improvements to it's
roadbed were made by the firm of Nc
Afee, Blair & Co., and that payment
for the work was guaranteed by the
Seaboard Air Line, which expected to
realize the necessary cash on the sale
of some several hundred thousand dol
lars worth of bonds.
Meanwhile the condition of the finan-
cial world had become such that it
was impossible to sell these bonds
when they were placed on the market,
and it was then that Mr.. Blair who
was a member of the firm of con-
structors, engineered the deal by
which he and Mr.. Ryan secured an
interest in the road and the control
of its policy.

PLACING OURSELVES
ON RECORD.
Rev. A. X. MiIIer's Subject at the
Christian Church.

Christian Church.
Rev. A. r. Miller preached on "Plac-
ing Ourselves on Record" at the Chris
tian Church yesterday. The sermon
was forcibly delivered, and one of the
most interesting he has preached of
his recent series along this line. The
church was well filled.
The sermon conveyed the idea that
church members were originally in
tended to be copies of the master mind,
Jesus Christ, and to this Paul refers in
the words, Eye are manifestly declared
to be the epistle of Christ written to
the church at Corinth.
Mr.. Miller showed this high inten-
ton of Jesus in coming to earth was
to effectually organize the race into
one grand whole. The unbeliever
might be convinced through the uni
form faith and practice of all those who
failure of the plan was directly the
result of a misconception of the funda-
mental principles of the Gospel.
I'VE say the gospel is Gods power
unto Salvation to all who believe il"
but fail to attach as much Importance
to the words following. For therein
is the righteousness of God revealed"
Renee the nrSt intention OIL the gospel
is to teach men the righteousness of
God. that it may be copied into our
lives, thereby giving us divine law for
our government, and making it impos-
sible for the divided conditions of the
church.
Paul, was then held up as an ex-
ample. He was a man called to be
an apostle of Jesus Christ, a YES
sci to convey the name of Christ to
"Israelites, Kings and Gentiles," and
one who delighted to say of his work
I'VE are our Epistles written in the
heart and known and read of all men
and declared (by those who read)
to be the Epistle of Christ" This
fact Paul held UP as his license to
preach the gospel, for he declared he
had remained true to the pattern set
before him in the vision that he saw
on his way to Damascus.
This sort of apostolic succession. Mr..
Miller said. would be a blessing to the
world, and all could accept it. and re-
joice in it's benefits.
The preaching of this dostrine should
be the standard of all who preach, and
the practice of this preaching the test
of all religious fellowship. So shall We
be my desciples-and so shall the
Father be glorified, in the universal,
uniform faith, and Christ should then
see His prayer answered, for the world
would soon be brought to own Him.
In closing, Mr.. Miller urged his hear
ers to put themselves on record in
the divine effort to help Christ in his
one work.

only Its share of Accidents.

The general belief in this part of
the normal number of accidents and
wrecks on the Southern road, is one
that is not based on facts, according
to Station Master J. c. Blanton, of
the Union Station. According to that
gentleman the track of the Southern
Railway from Danville to Washington
accommodates more traffic per day
than is handled over any other piece of
track in the United States, and though
accidents do occur they are no more
in proportion to the traffic over the
line, than happen on any other sys-
tenn. even the best managed of them.
