Commissioner Colquitt Answers
NeWspaper Man.

Austin, Sept 26.-Railroad Commits
sioner Colquitt has addressed letter
to George B. Latham, newspaper
man Of Dallas, in which Mr. Colquit'
contends that the grand jury has q
right to investigate any violations OF
the anti-free pass law northumberland
ing any ruling heretofore made by the
attorney general or railroad commits
sion. He further holds that the com
mission rules that contracts made be
tween newspapers and railroads fol
transportation before the law went
into effect are valid, but contracts
made subsequently are prohibited by
law.
Commissioner of Agriculture Miner
has issued a statement in which he
urges farmers of Texas to stand to
gether and hold their cotton for prices
fixed upon by the farmers OrganiZa
tions. and that they will win out in
war that is being waged by buyers ia
bring prices of cotton down.
1t Is understood here that the de
Tense to Western Union Telegraph
company will put up to controvert the
custer filed Is that it has authority
from congress to construct and Opei'
ate telegraph lines in the various
states of the Union, and this is con
strued to give them immunity from the
interference by states II is said that
the government has the right to take
charge Of the property of this com
pany in cases Of emergency, and this
will be the chief defense against the
right of Texas 70 Dust it.
The attorney general holds that the
rider" on general appropriation bill
commonly known as the anti-nepotism
provision. applies only to the state de
partments and exempts universities,
normals, schools, and all eleemo5y-
nary institutions. This was in answe,
to an inquiry from President Houston
of the University of Texas. This re-
verses the ruling heretofore made by
Comptroller Stephens. which was to
effect that anti-nepotism provision ap-
plies to heads of all universities, nor
mails. etc.
AS result of recent Investigations
made by Assistant Attorney General
Hawkins and Land Commissioner Ter

two suits in the district court here on

Houley of Brewster county. In the
first he is charged with timber depre-

of $1.S75. and in the second the state
seeks to recover eight sections o:
school land on Calamity creek in
Brewster county, which has been file"

Fifteen CENT COTTON
Southern Cotton Association Cotton and |
Cotton Seed Exchange.

Shreveport, La, Sept 25, 1907
the Press and the People Of the South
Cotton during the last ten days has de-
clined SIS per bale, which means, II II
holds out, $ISo,ooo,oCo out Of the peck
e,, OF the Southern producers on this
crop. Is there to be no rigitlng OF this
great wrong? think there is way to
right it. viz Strengthen the hands OF
the Southern Cotton Association, and
the Farmers Union How can it be
done, By enisting in them and stand
ing pat. The trouble with these two
association is, that they are not sup
ported by the producers themselves
These producers represent Just iI,5Oo,ooo
bales-more or less out Of the II 100000
balcs-more or less. produced yet they
are not consulted OH single blackboard
in single exchange i'll the South F.. l-lv-
erpool, New York, New Orleans, Mem
phis, Shreveport and other exchanges
all quote cotton. and quote from their
sister exchanges. When upon the floor
of the Shreveport Exchange yesterday,
noted the quotations Of all the various
exchanges blackboards. | asked for the
Harvie Jordan Atlanta Exchange quo
tations. They did not have them.
Why Though representing practically
every bale of cotton in the South, II had
not voice in pricing it! Turning my
back upon those chalk marks and black
boards headed Liverpool, New York,
New Orleans, etc, said would wait
for the Harve Jordan. Atlanta, quota
tons. The man was evidently surprised.
Moral: Let every producer IN the
South wait for the Southern Cotton As
ISOLATION Exchange quotations before he
will buy or sell, and the above named
fake exchanges may as well close their
doors! But it cant 90 be done. Why :
Because it can't" is the only answer,
assert that it can | assert that it will
be done. The Southern people are not
a lot of natural born fools. The only
trouble is that we have so many traitors
in camp-Southcrn traitors men who
want themselves to pay 5. o. I. or Q
cents for cotton, and sell 1t themselves
for o. 7. 8. Q or 10 cents. Drive out these
Trojan horses" and cotton will advance
to the price the spinners were paying
only a month ago. An the splnners
were willing and anxious to pay II. 1t
is worth it. For one. if 1t was not,
would oppose with all my might the ask
ing for it. Cotton being worth IS cents,
get it. Let every man in the South fol-
low Potts of Louisiana, and Jordan OF
Georgia, and the thing is done. If we
don't do it. then we will be branded as
and deservedy SO! None but
, cowardly people will be stampeded like
sheep at the bark of two dogs" Black
board" and Chalk" and give up
SISo,ooo,ooo i'll gold i'll ten days, when
all conditions demand actually an adj
vance of $I8o.ooo,ooo instead of de
cline
Let every man in the South come to
The assistance of the Southern Cotton
Association and the Farmers Union.
Let us stand together as brave men, and
not surrender the entire profits of an

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

Sanders now declares for State gov
eminent con oiled by the people.
This is surprising. In fact the surprise
Of the season, for we thought he liked
the job too well himself to give it up.
If what the opposing candidates for
Attorney General say about Grion is
true, it perhaps will not be considered
unkind to suggest that he should hold
a conference with himself
Editor Edmunds intimates that he has
no apology to offer for suggesting How
full if he could think up one which just
men would accept.
From the continued and aggravated
silence of many and divers official organs
throughout the State, it would appear
that the Right Honorable Tyte Phst has
entered this campaign.
From the plants of the Times one
would imagine it was acting as a trained
nurse to sick liberty
Superintendent Aswell insists he is not
after the place, but it will be observed
that he refuses to look back to see if the
place is after him.
The Alexandria Town Talk advises
farmers in its section to plant sugar
cane" If this advice is needed, farmers
will cease to be, and become sugar
planters. That is, they will, if the
Shreveport Times undigested eccentric
ity on the subject means anything.
Sanders cancelled North Louisiana
dates on account of sickness in his FAM
lily" But he was not deferred by that
sickness from re-stumping St. Tam
many. His boom there needed, and need
ed badly, another oxygen treatment.
AS Joe Leveque sees more and more
of the situation he feels he has 8 grunt
coming to him.
The dual Syndicate organs edited by
Editor Edmunds continue to firmly
maintain the position that Lieutenant
Governor Sanders is nobody's business.
While we thought Editor Edmunds
had lapsed into a good behavior state,
recent developments indicate he has been
spending some time repairing his nerve
After reading the weeks issue of the
Sanders Syndicate press we withdraw
OUR remarks about the newspaper liar
losing his job
In Caddo parish at least, after the
votes are counted Sanders will find him
self sufficiently acclimated to :oin a
north pole expedition.
