THE STATES GREATEST PROAl.
ITION FIGHT WILL BE SETTLED
JULY 22.
THERE'S AN UNKNOWN VOTE
Odds Seem to Favor the Prohibition
lists But there is an Unknown Quan.
tity in the Big Vote That viii Be
Cast.

Austin, Texas, July 1.-THE state Of
Texas is waking up to the fact that
il has an important moral and polltl-
cal question TO decide a week from
Saturday, July -. This is the ques-
ton OF statewide prohibition. Shall
Texas be wet or "dry?" Voters will
not only invite saloons or Danish them
forever, but they will also make and
unmake political fortunes of men who
have cast their lot on one side or the
other.
In the campaign now being waged
on the statewide prohibition question
the arguments that have been used
in similar contests in other states
when this proposition was at issue are
being gone over again and again. Tho
ants assert prohibition would 40 the
business interests of ,the state great
harm. that it would increase the tax
rate and in divers other ways cause
injury to the best interests of the peo-
pie. The plea is made for local self
government and the charges reiter-
ated and reiterated that prohibition
does not prohibit
What the Prohibitionists Say.
On the other hand the orators for
the prohibition cause maintain that
tax rates would be lower if the saloons
were abolished. as most of the crime
originates at drinking places and the
cost to the state of prosecuting Grim
inals and in maintaining eleemosynary
institutions that are the indirect re
suit of liquor drinking is much greater
than the amount of taxes now received
from the saloons by the state The
pros assert that prohibition does pro
| hibit that the question is a moral one
and not political and that the proposed
amendment should receive the sup
port of every good citizen.
The -prohibtonists seem to
have lost ground during the last two
or three weeks and to those who are
in close touch with the situation it
would not be surprising if the state
wide prohibition amendment carries
by a small majority. The Anti-State-
wide Prohibition organization claims,
however, that it will carry the state
by upwards of fifty thousand majority.
The estimate of the managers of the
statewide organization places the ma
iority in favor of the prohibitionists
at twenty-five to fifty thousand
The State Administration Against It.
The Anti-Statewide Prohibition or
ganization which is directing the cam
paign against the proposed amend
ment to the constitution has the ad-
VANTAGE in the number of trained poll
ticians who are lending their sery ices
in behalf of that side of the question.
The state democratic administration
with the exception of J. p. Lightfoot,
attorney general, is on the side of the
antis.
Governor o. b. Coquitt, who was
elected governor largely through the
influence of the Anti-Statewide Pro
hibition organization, is now paying
that political debt by stumping the
state against statewide VrOhibft'on. /

being formed from the lower layers
Of the drift It's topography Is quite

" eroded. 1t is the rough broken
lands We find along the larger
streams where they have cut deep
narrow valleys. Aside from the
flood plains there is but one type
below it geographically. The typi.
cal timber growth is oak and hick-
DRY. Where this type has been bad
iy eroded this growth is quite scrub
by. In texture 1t is a light gray to
white sandy silt loan to a depth Of
about eight inches. The surface va
ries a little In texture, In some plao-
es being rather silty,especially where
It approaches a. level, but no large.
level areas occur. We also find in
areas where it has been badly wash
ed that the heavy clay eubsoil is
exposed at the surface. The sub
soil which occurs at a depth of about
eight inches Is usually a heavy clay
through which coarse sand grains are
scattered. The humans supply Is very
low In this type, the color being al
most white in places. This would in
dictate a deficiency In nitrogen, and
as It responds well to applications Of
bone meal. It Is evident that It Is
also low In PHOSPHORUS.
Wheat, corn. oats, timothy and clo-
yer do fairly wen on this type, but
great care should be exercised in
keeping the edges Of streams and
lhoilows well sodded where any cult-
waited crop ia raised as a great
amount Of damage is done by wash
ing when they are left unprotected.
lWheneser It IL possible, It is beat
TO grow some grass crop on this
land. Where the scrubby growth Of
oak and hickory can be kept down
and a good stand OF grass secured,
It makes excellent pasture land.
The Shelby loam is the cheapest
land in the county, and is in many
cases very badly neglected. It sells
in some cases as low as $40 per
acre, although some Of 1t which is
better improved and better cared
for sells az high as $50 per acre. The
average Is about ss5 per acre.
