The FORGING table shows the 1907 administration cost just $6,12S.6S
more than the 1906 administration, and it will be observed the foregoing
able proves the account a $ set forth when based on the Morris basis of
calculation; hence, whether using his figures as a basis or those of the
table last above set forth, the only increase of 1907 over 1906 is &c.
lzSoS' this sum is more than accounted for by the more than double
witnesses and the like, which is fully explained above.
But Morris, not satisfied with juggling facts and figures on tables of
EOS OF my administration for 1907 as compared with 1906, and probably
realizing and anticipating that his clumsy presentations would be readily
exposed, undertaken to show that my 1907 administration does not
compare favorabE with the 1906 administration in respect to collecting
revenue taxes, etc, and he has printed a table of the comparative rev.
enue collections, a copy of which is herewith subjoined:

TO MAKE NEGROES PICK COTTON.
texans Devise System OF Punishment for
the Idle Blacks.

GALVESTON. Tex, Aug. 2s.-Having suf-
fered for the want of cotton pickers
while many idle negroes refused to work.
the planters and other white citizens in ten
counties Of east Texas have entered into a
compact to compel the negroes to work
or leave the State.
The Industrious negroes were taken into
the scheme and were notified that il any
negroes refused to pick cotton when not
otherwise employed they would get fifty
lashes for the first offence. 100 lashes for
the second offence. while the third offence
would mean their deportation with what
ever punishment the committee might select.
The good negroes agreed and will CO.
operate with the whites in furnishing in
formation about any a .
In Williamson fifty negroes found idling
were impressed under the shotgun to
pick cotton and got their choice Of
picking cotton at 80 cents q hundred or
suffering the consequences. and all Of them
are working. The country is searched
for idle negroes and those caught are pun
ished and then put to work. A system Of
checking the blacks has been instituted.
