TEXANS RIDE 10 WASHINGTON.
With Message For the President He

With Message For the President He
Hopes to Make Saddle Record
With the greeting and invitation
from thousands of Texans to Presi-
dent Taft safely tucked away and in
full cowboy regalia Ed S. O'Reilly,
editor of the San Antonio Light and
Gazette, babe adieu to more than
5000 enthusiastic San Antonians the
other afternoon en- route to Washing
ton. The start was made from in
front of the historic Alamo in San
Antonio.
To ride to Washington with an in
vitation for President Taft was an
idea that impressed Mr.. O'Reilly ia
vorably as soon as it had been con-
ceived. That the task might prove
too much for him or his steed
troubled him little. If Mr.. O'Reilly
has to make forty miles a day for
the entire trip he will make them.
There is one factor in the under
taking that would discourage the av-
erage man, but which to Mr. O'Reilly

ingtOn not later than the middle of
September. Were it not that ne is
riding a cow pony of the best Texas
stock, an animal of great stamina,
endurance and tenacity, his chances
of reaching Washington would be
slim indeed. But Arkansas, a mare
bred on Mr. Taft's brothers ranch
on the gulf, will prove more than
equal to the occasion. Hers is that
steady, swinging stride which only
generations of hard work in the
chaparral rounding up cattle could
have given her and her ancestors.
Change of feed and water means lit
tie to the Texas pony, because selec-
ton and elimination on the home
plains are strong factors and have
weeded out all that it unfit.
The successful completion of the
trip would put all previous long dis

LESS COTTON BEEN GINNED
Bulletin BY Director of the Census
Shows Decided Failing Off as
Compared With 1908.

WASHINGTON.-The first bulle-
tin of the director of the census
showing the operations of the cotton
ginned for 1909 was issued today.
1T covers the period up to September
LIST, and shows that for that time
377552 running bales have been
ginned as against 402,22s for the
same period last year.
Comparison is also made with the
production for 1907, when there
were ginned up to September LIST
20O,278 bales, and with 1906, when
the total to that date was 407,551.
The 377,552 bales ginned this sea-
son were distributed as follows:
Alabama, 1873; Arkansas, 1853;
Florida, 3,544; Georgia, 105, 1927;
Louisiana, 3,419; Mississippi, 1,570;
North Carolina, 1868; Oklahoma,

TO BE NO POLITICS IN PROBE
Investigating Committee Confer With
Gov. Brown. VIII EndeavOr to
Improve Asylum Conditions.

ATLANTA, Ga-The joint legis-
lative committee on the state sani-
tarium called on the governor at the
mansion this afternoon to consult
him on the coming investigation of
the Milledgeville institution. It was
for the convenience of the governor
that the meeting was held at the
mansion instead of the executive
office, as at first proposed.
1t was pointed out at the confer
ence that the state was probably car
ing for many more patients at the
asylum than it legitimately should or
than came within it's original scope
On this account the money appro-
priated by the state very probably
ran short of present needs. 1t was
agreed that an investigation might
show that a revision of the law was
necessary, so as to put greater re-
strictions around the admission of
patients into the sanitarium.
Governor Brown told the commit
tee that he was ready to cooperate
with them in every way in his power
The suggestion that the committee,
after thorough investigation,
should, in conjunction with the gov
ernor and the attorney general, draft
a bill revising the law, met with gem
eral favor. 1t was agreed both by
the governor and all the members of
the committee that no politics should
be allowed to enter into the business,
from beginning to end.
Everything points to a more seri-
GUS investigation of the affairs of
the asylum than has been made in
many years, with the good of the
state and its most important eleemos-
enary institutions as the ultimate
purpose of it all.

1t is reported. in a case of domestic

asked concerning the color Of the paper

is your trouble; go and change it to blue
and there will be peace in the family
This was done. and the doctors predic-
ton came true. A wave of red ray of
