July 10 Having promised to
let my friends know something
about Northwest Texas, VIII en-
deavor to do so.
We left Sinner on Monday, July
8, and went to Waco. From Shj-
ner to Moulton, as you all know, is
a nice, open prairie country stud
ded with good, substantial farm
houses. The corn crop in that sec
tion seemed to be badly damaged
by drouth. Cotton il small but
we'll fruited and about ready to
open. Leaving Moulton We came
into timbered country which last
Q i up'to Giddings. All along that
line the crop was what we call very
short. From several miles north
OF Giddings all the way up to Waco
rain had been plentiful and the
corn and cotton crop is splendid.
There is some nice country all the
way along, Cameron, Benarnold,
Burlington and Rosebud, and all
seemed to be thriving little towns.
We came to Waco at p. m. and
as the train TO Stamford did not
leave till S:15 a. M, we awaited
ourselves Of the opportunity totake
look at the city. Waco is situat-
ed in McLennan county about 100
miles north Of Sinner. and has
about 10000 inhabitants.
At the scheduled time we left
Waco the next morning, and passed
on up the valley of the Brazos riv-
er. There is some very rich far.
ming country in this valley, but
most Of the fields are ruined with
Johnson grass. The crops are good
especially corn, as there had been
plenty Of rain in that section of thu
country all the way up nearly t'
Stamford. The country between
Cisco and Albany is very rough
and almost mountainous, and il
principally a stock raising country

In this connection It can be said
that the corporation leaders who are
talking about the President having de
signs to succeed himself are becoming
desperate and are making threats. One
Of these threats is to disclose the
sources Of Chairman cortelyoa's cleo

have boosted that il the facts are

Mr., Roosevelt running for President.
Indeed there Is story that the visit

and that he called to tell the Presi-
dent that he must not press them too

On the other hand It is said that Mr..

that he has aothins to conceal, and
that he for one, has always been ready
and willing to have the details Of the
