FOR RUsK FURNACE
Appropriation Bill Carries a Hundred
Thousand Dollars to Make Re-
sumption Possible.

Austin, Texas, March 9.-The gov
ernor has requested Chairman Crock
EFT of the house finance committee to
insert in the general appropriation
bill an item of 100000 for the pur-
pose of putting the iron industry at
Rusk on it's feet and to resume ope-
rations. The governor wants the
state to lend, that sum to the state
penitentiary board, so that work can
be resumed at the earliest possible
moment. The money is to be repaid
to the state within the next eighteen
months. The governors request will
be granted, according to Chairman
Crockett.
has been known for some TIM
sskte penitenrfafy puard con!
tel 6plated resuming the operation OF
TIL iron plant, and it would have
been done sooner had there been
money available for. that purpose.
Several offers were made to the
board by private individuals and cor
porations for the leasing of the plant,
but the governor has declined to dis
pose of the industry, believing that
it could be operated by the state at
a profit, and, besides, the governor is
opposed to the leasing of the con-
victs to corporations or individuals.
1t develops that the house and SEN
ate finance committees, for the first
time. in the history of the legislature,
have been working together on the
general appropriation bills, which ac-
counts for the fact that both bills
carries practically the same amount.
Chairman Crockett said that the
bill carries about sS,2OO,OOO for the
two years, which includes the $780,
900 to be loaned to the state peniten-
tiary board The bill could have
been introduced yesterday in both
branches of the legislature, but as it
is the intention of the committee in
both branches to incorporate some of
the recommendations of the expert
auditors in the bill, and as the meas
ure could not have been passed at
the general session, it was not intro
duced.
AS has been stated heretofore, the
state auditing board made some rec
concentrations as to the reduction of
the forces in the three departments
and the finance committee
is to act on these recommendations.
By working together the two fl
nance committees succeeded in great
" expediting the work, and the re-
suit has been that for the first time
The general appropriation bill has
been ready within sixty days. Here

A Desperate Deed.

Vandevender says that the man
askd him few questions about trains,
and, his conduct being somewhat sus-
picious before the robbery was COM
mitted, the railroad mans first thought
was to save his watch, which he did
by snatching it from his vest pocket
and throwing it into the grass by the
roadside. After doing this he turned
and started to go on down the tracks,
when the desperate pulled a gun and
fired into the ground at Vandevenders
feet, following this action by point
ing the revolver at his victims face
and commanding him to deliver his
personal effects.
The highwayman went through with
the hold-up game in a professional
way, it is said, but succeeded poorly
so far as securing booty was con-
cerned, for Mr.. Vandevender had only
20 cents in money, pocket knife and
a piece Of tobacco in his pockets at
the time, all of which articles were
appropriated by the robber.

Up and SHOT
Eugene Smith Attacked And
Seriously Wounded By High
wayman Saturday Night.

Late Saturday night, while on his
way home from the store of j. S. Tur-
ner & Co., where he is employed as
deliveryman, Eugene Smith, colored,
was attacked and shot by a highway
man on the Gravel Pit line, beyond
the Mississippi Central crossing.
Smith relates that while he was
walking down the railroad he was ap-
preached from behind by An unknown
individual, who called upon him to-
stop. The command was not needed,
and Smith proceeded to accelerate
his speed, the pursuer also making an
effort to gain upon the fleeing negro,
and upon being convinced of the fact
that Smith was determined to outdis-
tance him, the unknown drew a re-
volver and fired two shots, one of
which took effect in the left shoulder
of Smith.
BY some means, however, the pur
suer was left behind, and Smith finally
succeeded in making his way home,
when medical assistance was sum-
moned. DR.. Robert Donald, one of the
physician who attended the wounded
man, stated this morning that, al
though the wound was not considered
dangerous, it was a serious one, the
bullet having penetrated the fleshy
part of the left arm, ranging upward
and lodging directly behind the shoul-
der blade.
Smith can give no reason for the
assault, and has no idea who his as
sailant was, consequently the police
have very little information upon
which to work in an effort to appre-
hend the guilty party.

Out Estimate.
BALES ARE AVERAGING
"a POUNDS Light
Expects spinners To Use This Years

President Taylor, of the National
Ginners' Association; has just sent out
from Memphis the following letter to
the cotton ginners:
Your reports show there has been
ginned up to Dec. 1, S,ss4.0OO bales
and that the total crop will be $780,
900, census figures, not including lin
ters. The linters will be about 225, 900
and the repacks about $4,000, making
commercial crop Of about 1926, 900.
AS there was practically no cotton
or linters carried over from the last
crop, the census report and the COM
mercial crop will be very close to-
gether this year. The weights are
aggregating about "a pounds light
which reduces this crop to about o.
100000 bales of last years weights.
The consumption last year was 1,095,-
600 bales per month, with Manchester
mills closed for ten weeks on account
of the strike.
