THE PLAYER MAID.

An advance notice says: The
Player Maid" in which Florence
Davis, supported by Elliott Dexter,
will appear at the opera house
Thursday night, January %, is a
comedy of the highest order, the
heroine being young actress Of
Drury Lane Theatre at the period Of
David Garrick's management Of that
house. The action is decidedly on
the comic order with just a touch
of the serious and emotional to
heighten the effect Of the humor
and 10 give proper contrast.
The play reyolves around the de-
sire OF young actress, half In jest,
half in earnest, 10 punish by clever
trick a young noblemAn OF the gay
society Of London for a fancied
slight of her charms. The role is
one that gives a great deal OF variety
in the acting and has an air OF
quaintness woven into the interest
ing story. The period and action OF
the play give excellent opportunity
for picturesqueness In the costumes
and scenic effects The play is staged
under the personal direction OF X. A.
Roberts and Elliott Dexter.

Editors Eagle:
Waxabachie, Tex, Jan. 10
Since the recent meeting at New
Orleans, where three thousand
Southern men met to formulate
plans by which the millions here
tofore lost to the South on cotton
might be saved. the Southern Cot
ton Association is better under
stood and an interest is being
awakened to the Importance Of this
great movement.
Mr.. 4. ID. Smith, presideh Of
the South Carolina division; II IN.
X. T. Miner, president OF The
Texas division, and Hon. Geo. I.
Jester, vice president, will be in
your city on Tuesday, Feb. 81, at 2
p. m, to address the citizens Of
your county and to organize your
county into a subdivision Of the
Southern Cotton Association.
Please do all you can TO get your
people, regardless Of the business
in which they are engaged, TO at
tend this meeting on the date men
toned. | had the pleasure of at
tending the New Orleans meeting,
and ! know now that the cotton
growing states east Of the Missis
ssppi river are thoroughly organ
lied and working for their best in.
terests, and ours also, If We will
but organize and stand shoulder
to shoulder with them.
Mr.. Smith is one Of the finest
orators in the South. In our tour
of the state last November |
counted fifty strong men in tears
at one time at one of our appoint
ments as he graphically described
the conditions in this Southland OF
ours when we were forced TO sell
our cotton at 4 cents a pound, and
we of the South who are natives,
have been up against this misery
and woe. II is TO prevent recur-
renee Of this fearful state Of affairs
that the Southern Cotton Associa-
ton was brought into existence.
Already in its short life of one year
it has accomplished wonders by
securing the dismissal of rascals
from the agricultural department
at Washington, and if our Texas
farmers had been as well organ
lied as they are east Of the Missis-
sippi river we would have received
IL cents for our cotton instead OF
90 and 10 cents, thereby saving
millions to Texas this season
The great bulk of the crop in the
eastern cotton growing states is
still in the hands Of the producers
and they will reap their reward
for their loyalty to the southern
Cotton Association with the rise
that is sure to come before another
Drop is planted.
MIR. Harvie Jordan informed me
at New Orleans that a million
dollars was now ready TO be put in
in Texas for the stor-
age of our cotton until such time
as the spinners were willing to pay
us fair price for it. At an early
date | will publish more bout this
important subject Meet the or
ganizers at your county meetings

How the KntydiL sings,

Everybody is familiar with the rasp.
ing notes known as the katydid's
"Song." 1t is the male only that Is ca
pablo of emitting the well known
sounds, and he does II In a most pc
culiar manner. His vocal organs are
at the base of his wings and consist Of
two fiat cxcrcscenccs of thin, dry
membrane. 1t is the rubbing of these
two membranous plates together which
produces the Song" If your shoulder
blades were SO loosely put together
that M could be slipped under the
other and the underside Of one and the
upper side of the other were SO rough
that the operation of slipping them
past each other would cause Il rasping
sound you could initiate the katydid's
musical efforts very nicely.
