The democratic party has fine OPP
portunity TO win national victory this

avoid the making OF mistake that
might cost our party the victory is to
elect as delegates men who are sound
democrats without any factional AK to
grind The interests of the Florida de-
mocracy will be in safe hands if the fol
lowing well known democrats are sent

promote harmony in the party:

MINERAL PRODUCTS
OF TEXAS

Austin, Texas, Jan. 1S.-William B.
Phillips, director OF the bureau of
economic geology and technology of
the University of Texas, in recent
report states that the value of the
mineral products of Texas for the year
1910 was about s16,5OO,OO0 Some OF
the items of interest in the report
show that the value Of asphalt was
$1,O40,S25; clay industries, $2,744.S45;
coal, $2,397, 1858; and Ignite, $763,107.
Texas is the only state in the Union
that Is making tin from native ores.
This industry has been established in
the Franklin mountains, near Ell Paso,
where tin ore is found in granite.
Since the collection of the earliest
reliable statistics the total value Of allt
of the mineral products Of Texas is
about $1SO,OO0, 900. The principal items
of interest in this respectable total isl
petroleum, $4,000, 900; coal and lig-
mite, s31,OOO,0OO; clay products, $751;
100000; and stone, S7,S00,000. The
most important items are petroleum,
coal (and lignite) and clay products.
as these comprise more than IS perl
cent of the entire value, S12S,000,O 900
out of $fSO,OOO,OOO.

BIC REDUCTION or
TOBACCO ACREAGE
Cutting Down in Burnley Districts OF
Tennessee and Kentucky Results
In Increasing Price.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE supple
ment to the December Crop Reporter
just issued, gives figures that at this
time are of unusual interest to the
Texas farmer. 1t indicates the effect
of a reduction Of acreage in the dark
tobacco districts of Kentucky and Ten
nessee on the price of tobacco.
The acreage devoted to dark tobacco
was reduced from S47,351 in 1909 to
2S7, 900 in 1911, a decrease of 6O,S51
acres, or II per cent.
The value Of the 1909 crop was
SIS, S69.290 compared with $19,35S,OOO
in 1911, a gain for the latter year over
the former of $4S9, 29O, or 2.5 per cent.
Figuring the gain in value per acre OF
the 1911 crop over that of 1909, 1t is
found that an acre Of tobacco in 1903
was valued at $54, while in 1911 it was
$67, a gain of $13 per acre, or "a per
cent.
The latter comparison perhaps gives
disproportionate gain, because the
yield in 1911 was somewhat greater
per acre than in 1909. This, however,
may be in a manner accounted for by
the fact that with smaller acreage
to cultivate more attention could be
given to the crop and the production
thus be made more. abundant.

When Glad stone Spoke.

Gladstone was one In whom nerv-
BUSINESS had become mannerism. When
he rose to speak he began with few
gracious words on the speech which
he was about to follow or some point
ed remark as to the character and i'm.
portance OF the subject In his earlier
days this was no doubt to ''get bis
breath" His next act was to raise
his right hand over his head. the thumb
bent down. and gently scratch his
skull. That is rather common among
public speakers The third action of
Mr.. Gladstone was his peculiar and
Individual sign. Throwing his arms
downward by his side, he would with
his fingers seize the cuffs of his coat
and draw these down over his shirt
cuffs so as to conceal them completely.
The ordinary practice is just the re-
verse. the desire being to expose and
not conceal the white linen Of the shirt
cuffs. These were the invariable pre-
ludes to the great commoner's speeches.
