Messrs. ]. Allen Myers and A. W.
Buchanan returned last night from
the meeting of the Retail Hardware,
Implement and Vehicle Dealers Asso-
citation in Dallas. Both were highly
impressed with the importance of the
meeting and the great good that may
come out of it for the people of Texas.
In discussing the meeting with Mr..
Buchanan yesterday, he said: 1T was
the most interesting and valuable
meeting | ever attended" Among the
mutitudinous que stions discussed, the
paramount issue was Freight rates
in Texas
Railroad Commissioner 0. B. Col.
quit was present and addressed the
meeting, explaining in detail the a,i.
thority and the operation of the COM
mission. He showed many instances
wherein the commission was power.
less to act because their rulings were
IN conflict with the rulings of the in
terstate Commerce Commission. He
stated as a positive fact, that by a
coalition Of certain steamship lines
and the railroads of the state. that
water, rate competition to the sea
ports of Texas had been DESTROYED.
Mr.. Colquitt stated if he were gov
ernor, he would subsidize a steamship
line between New York and some
Texas port ard build . railroad from
the Red river to connect with said
port
1t was very conclhsively shown
that Texas was imposed upon more
in freight rates than any other state
in the Union.
Mr.. Buchanan thinks If the whole
people could be aroused as are the
retail dealers, something would be
done.
A resolution was introduced by
Messrs. Buchanan and Myers pledg-
ing the cooperation of the Association
to the Farmers Union in their effort
10 secure a greater consumption of
low grade cotton by its manufacture
into cotton bagging, cotton rope etc
The resolution was passed without
a dissenting voice.
The meeting was one of the most
important ever held by body OF
business men in Texas, and portends
great good TO the state
The meeting adjourned at D. m.

OUR WIFE'S ECONOMY.

by Joe McGee)
Wife thought to use economy
And so she made some hominy.
No need to tell you it was fine
When twas the good old fashioned
kind
That mother made in days gone by.
From HICKORY ashes, dripped the I've.
SO when we came in from our route
Its fragrance almost made us shout
Just lift the lid from off the pot
And take Whit while its hot.
No scented breezes from the rose
Fer came more pleasing to the aose
fhan good old lye-cleanei hominy
When we are tired and "hunger-rv
Then lay all cares of life aside
And eat till We were satisfied.
From price of corn and quamty
We can not claim economy.
