FLAUNTING BoAsTER.

Ever since the cotton season opened
the Calvert Picayune has been osten-
tatiously and mendaciously proclaim
ing that the nice little wayside sta
ton where it has its habitat is the
cotton metropolis of the Brazos Val
ley. AS sample of this fiamboyant
boasting we reprint from the Picayune
of November 2 this reckless chat
lenge:
Fifteen Thousand and five hundred
bales of cotton handled by our cotton
yards to date, an increase over last
seasons entire receipts of 1000 bales.
Calvert's receipts of wagon cotton for
the season will reach the 25,OOO-bale
mark, which will establish Calvert as
the premier trading point and cotton
market of the Brazos Valley.
above figures in no way include
cotton secured by our buyers from out
Side points and rallied in, but cotton
from our trade territory handled by
wagon. Some towns in this territory
include in their published receipts cot
ton bought by their buyers from all
points and shipped in by rail.
twenty-five thousand bales of cot
ton. One and one-quarter million dol
lars to be distributed in Calvert and
community. Can you beat this, Bryan,
Hearne, Cameron?
Not counting your outside cotton,
value of which is not put in circula-
ton in your community"
If the people of Calvert are satisfied
with a windbag for newspaper it is
none of our business; the Picayune
may buster and swell until it bursts
itself like the toad that tried to make
believe it was as big as the OK, for all
we care Ii is, however, a remarkable
coincidence that the Centerville Rec
ord of the same date November y
said: ITO boost doesn't mean either
to lie or to eXaggerate. Inc Eagle
would have paid no attention to the
Picayunes vaporings if it hadn't chal-
lenged a comparison of Calvert's rec
ord of cotton receipts with that of
Bryan. This can be answered best by
a plain statement of figures.
The cotton from wagons received
and warehoused in Bryan up to last
Thursday amounted to 24,692 bales.
This does not include about 200 round
bales ginned in this city and shipped
direct, nor a large amount not ware
housed but unloaded direct from wag-
ons at the compress; nor does it in
clude several thousand bales from
the Brazos bottom plantations unload
ed from wagons at Wellborn and
shipped from there to the Bryan COM
press. AS the owners of these planta-
Bryan daily eagle and pilot. [volume] (Bryan, Tex.) 1909-1918, 1911-11-06

tions live in Bryan, of course the pro-
ceeds of their crops will be "distrib-
uted" in Bryan.
Limiting the comparison to wagon
receipts alone, 1t will be noted that
Calvert has received to date $4,000
bales, against 2i,962 received by
Bryan, difference in favor of Bryan
of 1892 bales. Bryan was last Thurs
day (the date OF the comparison)
within about 800 bales of the $4,000
which the Picayune claims Calvert
will get for the entire season. The
Eagle does not pose as prophet. but
1t is safe to predict that il Calvert
gets $4,000 bales Bryan's receipts will
be around 10000 Bryan not only gets
more wagon cotton than Calvert, but
more than any other town in Texas.

He has a right to be candidate, and
If a majority OF the democrats think
he has made a good governor he will
doubtless be renominated and re-

a right to ask the people for the office
as has Governor Colauitt, and so has

his name to the declaration of war
with Spain. back i'm 1898.
Senator Smita, then Representative
Smith from the Fifth Michigan dis
trict, was present when Mckinley

the pen as a souvenir and got it on
the spot while the ink was still wet
on the point from inaugurating Span

The nib is of gold. The holder is
long, slim and of mottled red rubber.
1t is by no means distinguished pen,
nor holder, but its a business affair
and every Michigan recipient of a let
ter from the senior Michigan senator
may know that the writing was by
the self same diamond tipped pen
