Wilson & Derden's Millinery Display
Brought Out the Ladies' Despite
the Rain.

The spring shower of this morning
did not in the least interfere with the
crowds of eager shoppers, who went to
see the exquisitely beautiful hats on
display at Wilson and Derden's MILL
merry Opening. The big store was filed
by $3.50 a. m. with an immense crowd
and in the afternoon the number stead
lily increased until a real crush" was
on hand. They found this pretty store
in pink and prim" attire for the oc-
casion, from the show windows in
front throughout the entire lower floor,
and including the ready-to-wear and
millinery departments, which, of
course, claimed the greatest attention
and admiration of the ladies. The
Easter spirit, for "all things new is
beautiful is already in the air, making
it a positive temptation to look at the
attractive new goods on exhibition.
The raiah, and shanting silks in all
colors are there, the plain gauze silks,
the chiffon raiah, and also delicately
tinted wash lawns in abundance. Near
by are to be seen the seasons latest
offerings in trimmings for the elegant
dress goods, Medallions, oriental and
baby Irish bands, silk net all-overs,
beaded passementerie. etc. That mi
lady's dainty feet may be in perfect
accord with these exquisite costumes,
the spring styles in pumps and oxfords
and silk hose in every shade and color
are displayed in pretty glass cases.

that II any of the citizens of Bryan
have any pecan trees they wish bud
ded, to let him know and he will do

He did some budding for Mr.. Wip-

successful.
This is certainly 2 liberal offer on
the part of Prof. Kyle and he is to
be commended for it, There is no
longer any use in this country to grow
the small, thick shell pecan, when the
large, thin shells can be grown just
as well. It matters not If you have
the thick shells already growing. or
even large trees in bearing, the thin
shells can be engrafted by budding
and your pecan orchard can be made

tifuI Display Of Dry Goods and
Millinery.

Getz and Bloch. managers of the
Globe Dry Goods company, formally
opened their pretty new store to the
Bryan public this morning at o'clock.

management and the efficient corps of
polite clerks.
Everything looked bright and new,
and the shelves and counters are filed
with an elaborate display of dress
goods, trimmings, laces, embroideries
and pretty novelties. The pretty pat
terms of foulard silk, were especially
attractive, and were much admired. A
full and complete line of ladies' and
gentlemen's shoes Occupy one entire
side of the building, and Mr.. Horace
Furgerson, an experienced shoe man,
is in charge of this department In
The rear of the store the millinery de-
partment is neatly curtained off, and
artistically fitted up with suitable mir
rors, show cabinets, settees and chairs.
Quite an elaborate display Of stylish
spring millinery was on exhibition, and
the prices were reasonable and tempt
ing. Miss Johnson, of Chicago, is the
head milliner and under her direction
the work is well and satisfactorily
done. Miss Johnson is assisted by
Mrs. Furgerson, Miss Peverly, Miss
Dawson, Miss Goodwin and Miss Yes

The Globe Dry Goods company is
one of Bryan's newest enterprises, and
if the reputation of its business future
can be measured by the splendid i'm
preston made at its formal opening
today, then success is assured.

MEXICAN GOVERNMENT
GRANTS WILD TREE
COTTON CONCESSION.

San Antonio, Texas, March 49, To
Douglas, Arizona. man the Mexican
government has just granted con-
cession for the utilizing Of the pa
chota or tree cotton, found in sever
al parts of the republic but especial
" near the Nacozari and Moctezuma
canyons in the state Of Sonora.
The tree or pachota cotton is a rela-
tive to the carnivora bush cotton and
is said TO give great promises. The
tree is perennial, bearing flowers and
bolls in all stages of development at
the same time and throughout the
year. The bolls on opening disclose
fine, silky staple of pure white, cover
ing the tree very often like snow.
So far pachota cotton has escaped
the notice of the textile industry and
until recently it was not knewn
whether the staple would be long and
tough enough to permit its use. This,
IL is now claimed, has been establish
ed to be the case and pachota fabrics
of the very finest texture may be
looked for in the near future.
The tree does not seem to flourish
anywhere except in small localities in
Mexico, it being totally unknown in
the United States, even in those parts
having climate similar to that of the
state of Sonora. It is thought, how
ever, that scientific effort will succeed
in remedying this condition.
The tree seems to be free from the
insects that attack the common cot
ton plant and the boil weevil has not
been found on it.

A Brazos County Boy Working In Rail-

Walnut Springs, Texas, Mch. Is.
The Bryan Eagle:
The time has come when must in
form the Eagle what is going on in
tie west. The weather is ideal and
it has caused the farmers to look
around for their corn planters and
implements of like nature as they
have been idle now for nearly ten or
eleven months, and this kind of wealth
er and the good season that we now
have is enough to inspire the heart
Of the farmers to begin to till the soil
again for their crops for the coming
season. Here is news: The Texas
Central has Just completed a 5-stall
round house at Rotan, Texas, and is
now erecting a modern 1O-stall round
house at Walnut Springs, one that is
a credit to the Texas Central railroad
and to the beautiful city of Walnut
Springs, and it is q pleasure for us
as employees to have the pleasure of
working for such a company that be-
lieves in protecting its employees and
by so doing promotes its own interest.
This new round house will be COM
pleted by June 1st.
The T. c. is also extending branch
line from DeLeoR through Rising Star
to Cross Plains, distance of as miles
and this work is now in full sway.
AS this is pay day the boys are very
happy for some cause or another
Hoping to hear from the other CORES
pondents more often, am, with best
wishes,

near this. wish all the egg producers Of Alabama could get at least this much.
 Consumers are paying 10 and 12 cents per dozen more than that. Somebody between this merchant and the ultimate consumer is making profit of almost s24 per case of "A dozen I happen to know that the prevailing price of eggs to the farmer off the rail- road is not as good as claimed by this correspondent

 can make good wages here but there is a surer living on the farm" A disgusted farmer moved in from the
 country and took this mans house. He feels sure that there Is better liv- ing in monthly pay envelope than on the farm.
 l want to hear from more country mer- chants. farmers and consumers on this live of ho irJ, oF ixrfx,o Everybody is interested in the problem
 and perhaps we can find some remedy.
 There is hardly any question but that
 the law of supply and demand enters
 largely into the present situation and
 that adjustment must be made along
 these lines
 But it is also a fact beyond dispute
 that there is too wide difference be-
 tween the prices received by the pro-
 ducer and the prices paid by the con-
 sumer.
 Alabama, and, indeed the entire cot ton belt, faces a peculiar condition in it's effort to produce more foodstuffs. The great bulk of the best farm lands
 is owned by landlords who live in town.
 The lands are rented out to negro and other tenants who pay startling an- nual rental in cash. The landowner has no interest or concern in the crops that are grown. The improvement of the land is beyond his control or interest. The tenant grows cotton because that Is the surest money crop without intelligent management. Az rule the tenant knows nothing about growing any other crop He was raised to grow cotton and sticks
 to it,
 xou may preach divsrsineation to him
The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-01-20

from one years end to the other and it does no good. The landowner en- courages your preaching but he cannot control the tenant or does not care to. His annual rental in cash satisfies him and he knows that cotton is always worth cash money
 The land-owning farmer who lives in town is prospering. The tenant, encour- aged by the steady advance in the price of cotton, continues to grow the staple and buys his provisions.
 Now, that is what is the matter with Alabama and this condition will continue as long as the best lands are owned by city farmers and left to the culti- vation of tenants who are ambitious only to make the rent and little more.
 The individual farmers, white men, who own and live on their farms, arc diversifying their crops and trying to i'm prove their lands. but this class can never be able to produce the food that is required to feed the people of the south.
 It Is deplorable fact that a large proportion of the best lands of the state is less productive than 10 and 20 years ago.
 This is the result of Irresponsible ten ants who either do not know how or do not care to improve the soil.

THAT REMINDS ME
Something More About the High of Living and Some of the Conditions That Exist On the
 Farms of Alabama
By WALTER HARPER.

The writer of this department has a letter from a North Alabama country merchant in which he complains that article that the country merchant is not paying enough for produce.
 Such was not the intention. The coun- try merchant Is paying all he can for the produce offered him by the farmers. The country merchant cannot regulate the prices of eggs, chickens and other ''barter'
 The prices are regulated by the larger markets and the country merchant has to pay price that will protect him against that market The article of which this correspondent complains att tempted to defend the country merchant as well as the corner groceryman against the charge that they are responsible for the present high cost of living. V In his letter my country merchant cor respondent declares that this writer was correct when he said that the country merchant or producer could not depend upon all commission merchants for fair treatment The correspondent says that he never ships to commission merchants for that reason.
 Now, if he hasn't mighty good home market I am at loss to understand how this merchant, who is some distance from any railroad or industrial center. can pay good prices for produce and carry 1t himself to some profitable mar ket.
 He says he is paying 2s cents per dozen cash for eggs :. am glad to

INQUIRY FUR P|G |R0N VERY HEAVY Selling Of Non-Bessemer Ore Continues At Good Rate BIG SALE OF ALL ORES Increasing Use of Blast Furnace SIag for Making Cement Is Shown By
 Enlargement of Plant of
 Cement Company.

Cleveland. O., January 1s.-(Special.)- say:
 Pending pig iron inquiry is heavier than at any time since last October. A number of the most important melters. including leading cast iron pipe. pump, malleable and electric companies have appeared in the market for large tonnages, and in some cases sales have been made.
 The selling Of non- -Bessemer Lake Su- perior ores continues at a very satis- factory rate, and it is now estimated that sale of all ores to independent interests aggregate nearly 100000 tons. The Steel corporation, through Pittsburg Steamship company, has chartered vessels to move 15,ooO,0OO tons ore this year, and will move about 12,000 900 tons in it's own ships, mak- ing total of 27.O00.0OO tons for this one interest, movement which was never equalled by all interests until 1902. when 27500,000 tons was shipped from Lake Superior mines, gain of 100000 tons that independent interests will ship 2s- 100000 tons this year, making grand total of 50.O0O.OOO tons.
 The increasing use of blast furnace slag in the manufacture of cement is illus trated in striking way by. the announce ment that the Steel corporation has au- thorized the expenditure of s2.245.OOO to increase the capacity of the plants of the Universal Portland Cement company. This company in 1900 turned out only about 22.000 barrels of Portland cement. and its output for 1909 was 5.796.000 barrels. and it's estimated output for this year is S.000,000 barrels while additions to be made at Burlington. Indiana and Pitts burg will bring the production for 1911 to 10000, 900 barrels.
 Rail sales of the week amounted to about 40,0O0 tons. Car orders include 1000 for the Nickle Plate. 1000 50-ton gondolas for the Toledo and Ohio Central. 260o for Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton. and 2o0o refrigerator cars for the Hartman lines.
 Orders for structural material amounted to about 1s0o0 tons for the country. of which the leading interest booked about oooo tons
