FROM The FIELD.

This Is a big Job re have under
taken; the plaaina of orr Enter
prise paper on 4 cash basis. We
must see everv one of orr big list Of
subscribers and collect and renew
their subscription. Al great many
of our subscribers are helping us
out by filing out the money order
application we seEa them In their
statements and forwarding as the
money by mail. We are proud of
this aud 1t helps out IN our big task.
Uncle Snort and myself are doing
our best TO see every one of our
subscribers Just as soon as possible
and after the first day of January,
1904, our Enterprise will not be sent
to any one who has not paid for Ii
and those who have paid for It IN
advance will receive the paper for
as long as they have paid and then
it will be stopped unless they re-
new. The great majority of our
subscribers demand of US that we
adopt this method and already hun
dreds and hundreds Of them are pay
ing year in advance for the En-
terprise and | want to say right
now you who have been reading our
paper for seven years and helped to
build it up and put it on it's feet to
its present immense proportions will
loose out now If you let your paper
run out and stop and don't renew,
for the money we are now collecting
will be used in improving and bet
tering the paper in every respect.
Uncle Snort and myself will travel
over the county as heretofore and
in addition to that | expect every
summer hereafter to take trip like
/ did last summer and / now con-
template going to the city of Wash
ington next summer. Congress sman
Jack Beall left this week with his
family to attend the session of con-
gress which meets in Washington
next Monday, November Q. Before
leaving he urged me to come up
there while he was there AID stay
with him a week or two. ] went to
Colorado last summer and bumped
my head against the skies and 1t
did me good. Congress Will be in
session till late next summer and /
think a trip up there then TO rub up
against all the great statesmen of
the United States will be still more
beneficial TO me and Jack Beall
promises to feed me while / am
there. / am sure to cut caper
among all those big ducks, but there
is one thing | wifi not do while |
am there. / may shake hands with
President Roosevelt, but | will not
eat with him, / like "a good negro
and was raised on my fathers plan
tation where there were lots of
them, but | never did nor will !
ever sit at the same table with one
nor will / ever sit at the table with
a white man who did lower himself
to such an extent as TO allow a ne
gro to eat at his table. For repub.
lican | admired Roosevelt till he
ate with Booker Washington and /
am sorry he did that act Washing
ton City is a little world within it
self and Jack Beall has sense
enough 10 make his way there all
right, but / am little shaky in my
knees right now when l think OF
that big trip and the biz people ] ack
will introduce me 10 when ] get
there. A doctor said to me once
that he was frequently called TO see
patients that had something the
matter with them that he never saw
anything like IL before, nor ever
read of such a disease IN books or
heard of anything like it, and
said / Doctor, what do you do
in cases like that?" The Doctors
reply to me was that he looked wise
and said nothing and that is one of
the plans | will adopt when | get up
there and Jack begins to introduce
me 10 the big bugs. There are six
teen congressional districts in Tex
as and sixteen men from Texas will
be there representing their respec-
tive districts. Our congressional
district is the fifth district and there
will be fifteen more congressman up
there besides Jack Beall from this
state. On this trip ] will take In
New York, Niagara Falls and the
Worlds Fair in St. Louis which
opens next spring. l may get lost
on all this big trip and If / do ] will
have myself advertised for in the
Enterprise and Daily Light and that
will be sure to find me and fetch me
home.
will attend the boil weevil con-
vention at Dallas Thursday, Nov. D,
and learn all that | can for our Ellis
county farmers and will next week
give you only such of the proceed
} ings as / think can be made of prae-
teal benefit To our readers. The
people are stirred up on this boil
weevil pest that is this year destroy
ing millions of dollars worth OF cot
ton for our Texas farmers and /
: look for large attendance there.
/ Our Ellis county farmers must not
forget that our Elhs County lnsti-
