A new floor when waxed must be left over night before polishing but an old floor may be polished as soon as the wax has been applied all over 1t.

Several visitors were seen in the chapel at the morning service, notably Dr. Clark of Tex as who occupied chair in the rear of the pulpit.
 The choir consisted of the fol lowing sextette who rendered ap- propriate music for the service: Mrs. Jno. c. White, Misses Lyda Marsh, Betsie Hinton, April Har- rington, Ruth Moncrief, and Pearl Briggs.
 Dr. Godbey's sermon was upto the usual standard and was well received. The following thoughts are characterized of the dis course:
 We realize life only from the activity of our powers.
 Progress is a great principle of christianity"
 We need the strength of to- day for the service of today and not for the past"
 There is prize beyond all earthly rewards, beyond all earthly hope."
 Only healthy people can grow hungry, those who have been well cared for in the past. Bless ed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness etc. ;" "A man knows only in his range of conception, his affection and his hopes."
 Advancement is the real de- sire of every one. Is there store keeper in this town who does not wish to be better store keeper next year?"
 We may stand and cast faith and hope and love and confidence upon the world forever with as surance that we will be conquer CTS in the end."

HOLD FOR FIFTEEN CENT!
Is Pres. Potts Advice to the
Cotton Growers of Louisiana.

AS was to be expected the cot
ton exchange crowds with their
Infamous system of future gam
bling have hammered the price
of cotton down two cents less
than the actual cost of produc-
ton. Thirty-tive days ago cot
ton was selling at all interior
points in the State of Texas at
144c. per pound basis middling.
To-day there no reason why cot
ton should not be worth as much
as it was then bringing but there
is every reason why it should be
worth more than it was worth at
that time because we have more
positive proof of the shOrtness of
the crop.
The spihners of the world ad-
NIT that they can pay 10 cents
for our cotton and make a profit
on present values of cotton goods,
but they say that they are not
going to pay US that price unless
we make them do it. Will we
sacrifice our cotton to the specu.
lators with their infamous sys.
tenn of cotton future gam bling OF
will we make them pay us for it!
Your cotton is going to bring
just what you make them pay
you for it and no law of reason
ing will prove to the contrary

Dor is higher or as high as it was
in 1873 and the lowest price that
middling cotton touched in that
year at New York was 19lc per
pound. Fifteen cents per pound
for this crop is not high and the
man who says it is is an enemy
to the cotton producer and trai
tor to the South.
Let the friends to cotton stand
by their guns and fight to a
finish the Infamous system of
robbery that the cotton gamblers
propose to practice upon the
people who grow cotton. Pay
no attention to the lies that are
being circulated to the effect
that the farmers in this or that
State are selling their cotton for
less than Is cents. 1t is a trick
of our enemies to flood the South
with such lies in order to break
our ranks if they can. Run
these gamblers out by legisla-
tion. Turn a deaf ear to their
smooth tongue pleadings. We
have been under their system
for years and we know how We
have Jared.
Encourage your friends to
hold their cotton and make this
a fight to a finish. The decline
is artificial and temporary and
cotton is sure to go sky high
before next March.
Yours truly,

Farm.

The latest news at the Tnsti-
tute is that seventeen new Rem
lngton typewriters arrived and
were unpacked yeste rday,
while eleven old worn out ma
chimes were shipped back to the
factory. Thus the typewriter
classes will now have six more
machines than they ever had be-
fore and every machine will be
new one. Besides this, an assis-
tant teacher in this department
will soon be appointed, who will
supervise al! the typewriter
practice under the direction of
Miss George, the teacher in
charge of the Department.
The new Telegraphy depart
ment will be opened about Dec 1
and will have special teacher
in charge who will devote his en-
tire time to instruction in this
subject and the course will be so
arranged that y oung people who
desire to become telegraph oper-
atOrs and prepare themselves for
positions quickly will be allowed
to give almost all of their time
to instr uction and practise, with
out having to take any other aca-
demic subjects than perhaps ar
ithmetic and lessons in English.
When the eight hour law goes
into operation all the railroads
will have to increase their force
of operators at "a day and night
station. relieving each other
every twelve hours. They will
then have to employ three opera
tors for such positions, relieving
each other every eight hours
just as is now done by train dis
patchers. These two schools
OF stenography and telegraphy
be for the special purpose of
turning out operators as quickly
as possible, and there will be no
doubt of their getting positions,
as they are in great demand.
Nearly every student is on the
qui vive for the excursion to
Crowley tomorrow. The whole
school. teachers and all, are
going to take in Crowley Fair
and attend the game of foot ball
between our team and the team
of the Crowley High Sch ool.
We have no doubt of winning as
we have such rattling good
team in the fist place, and then
such large crowd of rOOters
would be sure to turn the tide
in our favor if any critical mo-
ment should arise.
