Demand Eleven Cents for Your Cottonl

AS was stated in last weeks Banner, and sug-
gested in issue of the previous week, the South
ern Cotton Association has fixed upon II cents as
the minimum price for the 1866 cotton crop. The
following circular letter, which find pleasure in
publishing, has been freely circulated from Match
itoches by the President of the Louisiana State
Division of the Association:
To tie Cotton Producers Of Louisiona:
At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the
Southern Cotton Association, held at Ashvle N. c.,
September 6, 1905, minimum price of II cents
per pound was fixed for the cotton now being mar
keted, and earnestly request all farmers and cot
ton producers of Louisiana not to sell single pound
of their cotton for less than II cents at present.
and by all means sell as little as possible at time,
thereby extending the time of marketing your crop
eight or ten months, instead of four months as
formily. l, of course, would be glad to see every
farmer get as much than II cents for his crop
possible, but under no consideration, sell any
cotton for less than that price.
The Southern Cotton Association made careful
estimate of the growing crop and finds the figures
for the whole South cannot exceed $500 900 bales
owing to the very short crops in most of the States
and the minimum price of II cents at present was
fixed, after careful deliberaton. It is my opinion
however, that all those who can hold their cotton
until spring will receive very high price for it,
there be no doubt of an exceptional short crop
this year and an extra long price late next spring.
Most of the people of Louisiana have made such
short crops that price of Is cents per pound for
what they raise this year would not pay them, and
they certainly cannot afford to sell for less than the
minimum price fixed by our Cotton Association.

President Louisiana State Division S. G.. A.

1t is a common sight in many communities to see
young men and boys idle away their entire vaca-
cation on the streets and around public places
while their fathers busy at their various call
ngs, struggling hard to feed and clohe the host Of
loafers, and their poor mothers are wearing their
lives away over unendng household duties. They
work and stint and that their dear boys may
be we'll dressed and receive education. This
very kindness itself encourages the laziness and
thriftlessness that is every day becoming part of
their boys lives. Parents overlook this and are
not mindful of the fact that if the boys too lazy
to help themselves now they will be lacking in the
energy and pride to complete an education. And If
they did, what could such a drone Gone who has
become so from habit and because he was encour-
aged in it) accomplish with the smatterng
education that he will take? Nothing-positively,
nothing! The chances are that he will always be
the blank that he was in the community in which
he brought up. Whose fault is it 1t is partly
the fault of the parents, who fail to make their boys
realize the seriousness of their positions in society
and who not made to shift for themselves at the
proper time. Do not encourage your boy to hang
around home in idleness while you work for him.
He will only become enervated by this parental in
diligence. You may think you are doing the very
best you for him, but not so. Keep him off the
streets and out of bad company by putting him at
some healthful and manly QUITO doors employ
ment, and make him stick. It wins!

The Government report placing the average cot

would advance prices materially while the other

Facts About Yellow Fever.

1. A focus (plural, foc,) is place where fever
has appeared and from which, consequently, q
spread is to be feared
2. A mosquito Zone variety only) must bite a
yellow fever patient on the first, second or third
day OF the diseases, in order to convey Infection
3. Such mosquito is harmless to others for a
minimum period of twelve days afterwards and non
lmmunes have nothing to fear from bites of infected
mosquitoes during that time, and can remain with
impunity in the sick room.
4. After this period, formerly held to be the time
in which the germ 'spore'' rested in indus, -
or in 'fomites' the infected mosquito has matured
the causative agent of yellow fever and can infect
any nonimmune anywhere she finds him.
8. A person dead of yellow fever is positively not
source of danger.
+. An immune person is incapable of conveying
infection.
7. You have twelve days to take precautions after
the first case appears before stray mosquito from
that case can infect you with her bite
8. From the above facts it appears that any rumor
to the effect that any of fever has developed
in consequence of anoteer less than sixteen DAYS
after the first is on its face fallacous.
g. Any refugee in the city over four days without
developing fever is no longer source of DANGER

Murder Most Foul.

From the Mason Herald
Tuesday night Tim Nard, the 10
year old son of Jerry Nard. a
prominent citizen of Loyal Val
ley, met his death at the hands Of
an assassin.
From the most reliable source
we CLEAN the following facts
bearing upon this atrocions
crime:
1t seems that young Nard was
staying at the home of CT. A.
Lehman. On this particular oc-
casion Mr.. Lehman was absent in
Llano and only his wife and
children and his aged mother,
Mrs. Buckmeyer and the victim
of the tragedy were at home. AT
the hour for retiring Mr.. Nard
went to his room, lit the lamp
and was in the act of removing
his coat, when II charge from a
shotgun was fired through the
window by some one on the out
side, some ten or twelve of these
shot striking him on the side of
the head, killing him instantly.
Officers in Mason were notified
and Yesterday morning Deputy
Sheriff Dee Gibbs and Justice
Wilkinson wet to the scene of
murder
Justice Wilkinson held the in.
quest and rendered verdict in
accordance to the facts before
him.
Deputy Gibbs placed Ton
Porch under arrest and he If
