campaign the opponent OF the
governor suggested to the people
that they not only elect hirp, but
a Legislature which would do his
bidding that he might enact into
the statutes those reforms which
he advocated.
The governor, taking cogniz-
ance of this suggestion Of his
opponent, recalled that the legis-
lature was a separate branch of
the state government and should
be elected to carry out the de-
mands of the people as expressed
in their party platform, it being
immaterial whether the members
were friendly to him as long as
they followed the wishes of their
respective constituency.
The opponent OF the governor
recalled the disgusting acts and
disgraceful SCIENCES in the late
lamented Thirty-second legisla-
ture, no doubt, when he APP
pealed for legislature to do his
bidding, while the governor re-
called the same proceedings, but
from an entirely different point
of view.
The late lamented, though, is
a thing of history unless an
emergency or calamity befall the
State within the next few months
and even then the governor
might not think it imperative
that he call a special legislative
session. for he has been quoted
as saying that he wouldn't call
that body of lawmakers together
even if the State house burned
down.
The Thirty-third Legislature,
which will convene early in Jan
uary, will be composed of a ma
terially changed membership
from that of the late lamented.

humbugs."
Roosevelt's speech was made
at the close of a hard days cam

MAY BE A NEW CONFERENCE
CoIquitt Sounds Governors About
Again Discussing the Cotton
Situation.

Austin, Sep. Sept. Gov.
Colquitt has requested the Gov.
ernors of all cotton producing
states to communicate to him
their opinions as to the advlsa.
biiity of the need and benefit OF
holding another cotton confer
ence" along the lines. but prob
ably more extensive, than that
effected by him in New Orleans.
The proposal is merely tentative
thus far, the Texas executive
seeking the views of the South
ern Governors regarding the ad-
vantages of comforting on the
situation on the eve of market
ing the great crop. as to methods
tending to result in a fair price,
the acreage, etc. Until he has
received replies from the
greater number OF Southern ex-
ecutives Gov. Colquitt will prob
ably not put the matter in the
form of a definite invitation.
The first reply to the Cover
nor's general letter of Aug. 9th
was received today from Gov.
Lee Cruce of Oklahoma, who
favors calling a conference as
soon as possible. He would pre-
fer not to wait until after the
November election. writing that
a large percentage of the cotton
will be harvested and probably
marketed before that time.
For every dollar appropriated
by the citizens to be used in i'm
proving the road between
Bronte and Robert Lee, the
Commissioners will appropriate
three dollars. This was made
public by the commissioners this
week. The commissioners say
hat they are ready TO appro-
pirate 81, 500 for this work if
he citizens of the two towns
will raise $500.

SOME GOOD BUSINESS HINTS
Farmers Should Beware OF Finaneia'
Shark and Sign No Papers with
out Seeing Lawyer.

The great prosperity of the farmers
has aroused the cupidity OF financial
sharks and they are swarming all over
the country, presenting a thousand
schemes to bring fortune in day.
The crooked financial promoter Is a
genius In preparing bait for the un-
wary. He can make lack look Ike
white. turn doubt into certainty. over
throw tradition, set precedent aside
turn waterless wastes into green fields
and bring gold from barren rookie.
He is genial. plausible, captivating
and conniving and it takes strong
mind to deny him. But he must be
denied until his schemes have been
proven. There are many investments
of high merit, but they are as golden
apples in a sea of sand when com
pared with the worthless ones, and Il
requires a trained intelligepce to dis
cover them.
There is safety in these simple
rules: Sign nothing until you hav'
shown it 20 your lawyer. Make nj
bargain without consulting your wifi
and your banker. Pay no currenc'
but always give check and thel
take a receipt showing In detail tn
