About Cotton Seed.

The Signal has had occasion this
year to hear great deal about the
Mebane cotton and from reports Of
the yield of this particular species
and It's storm resisting qualities, It
would seem that every farmer would
find It profitable to plant this or some
other improved seed.
The Signal is in no wise interest
cd In the sale of any particular seed
but II has heard more of the mebane
than of others. but seed that will
produce greater yield and better
stand and will Withstand wind and
storm should appeal to the far
mers.
Cotton seed, like other crops will
get mixed and the planting OF in
ferlor seed will result in poorer crops
and It is n good idea to give atten-
tion TO the selection of such seed as
have been brought about by careful
cultivation.
No man should expect the best re-
suits from haphazard selection of
seed and when It is possible to oh
tain improved seed II is good judg-
ment to do So

FoRsrEn SHERIFF SLAIN
Tragedy In Oklahoma Town Ends
Feud of Years Standing.

MUsKOGEE, Okla, Nov. 3--Luth-
err Opry, ex-sherlff OF Wagner Co.,
was shot and killed in the streets
of Wagner this afternoon by Eugene
Flowers, a deputy sheriff.
There had been III feeling between
Opry and Flowers for a long time.
Today they met on the streets and ac
cordlng to story by an eye witness
and after few words passed, Opry
seized Flowers by the Collar and hit
him In the face. Flowers whipped out
an automatic pistol and shot Opry
seven times, the exSheriff sinking to
the sidewalk dead.
The killing occurred within a
block of the county jail, where Flow
ers is now being held.
It is said that Opry was not arm
ed at the time, but an eye witness
states that he placed his hand on
his hin when he struck Flowers as "
to draw gun.
Politics was at the bottom OF the
feud of the two men. Opry was the
first sheriff OF Wagner county, a
Republican and served until 1911
when he was defeated by j. Il. Long,
the present sheriff, democrat
Flowers IL a deputy under Long.

The Election.

The election last Tuesday was a
quiet AFFAIR so far as Scurry county
was concerned.
Joe Cation was the presiding Off
Ger in Snyder. He was assisted by p.
NJ. Bolin and s. r. Eliza as Judges, DR.
w. II. Morrow and Joe Stlnson as
clerks and Hugh Boren. Charlie Ilar-
less and VIII Ralston as counters.
There was no excitement and the
total vote cast, 362 was about one
third OF the voting strength of the
precinct and about half as much as
the democratic vote cast In the July
primaries. Such apathy shows q de-
gree of languishipg patriotism, hard
to understand.
The ticket was long and cumber-
some but the counters we're through
by about 10 p. m.
The tally sheet showed 1875 votes
for the Democratic ticket, 2l for the
Socialist, 1S Republican and three
for the Progressives
II is stated that the Socialist vote
at Snyder was exactly the same as
two years ago which time that ticket
received ISL votes in the county.
The returns were brought in seal
ed up and the full vote of the coun-
ty will not be published till next

Chnmnion Cotton Pickers

The Merkel country is producing
champion boy cotton pickers by the
bunch this year even though the
young fellows are forced to pick
from cotton that will not average
over quarter of a bale to the acre
We have received reports from
the Canyon country this week that
shows the people there to be ahead
of any other part of Merkel's cotton
area. On the farm of Is. F. Snow,
Carson Snow. aged 10. picked 5O2

Snow by five pounds on the windup

his credit, while Eddie Davis age
IA was very close TO Cargill with
sos pounds. Frank Snow, aged IL,
gathered 425 pounds and his brother
Claud, two years younger, and
weighing only So pounds picked 4Os
pounds
All the above records were made
in the field belonging to d. F. Snow

ceptlon OF Eddie Davis who made his

be had been a member of the
Hargis feud faction, was fatally
wounded in a revolver duel
with a bartender here today,
bat before he died he declared
he was the man who fired the
shot that killed Governor Will
liam Goebe. at Frankfort in
January, 1900,
Realizing that the end had
come, Gilbertsmiled family and
after making an attempt to Joke
about the dying III his boots, de-
clared that he fired the shot that
caused the death of Governor
Goebel. W hether he would have
given details Of his alleged kill
ing of Goebel can never be
known, for Gilbert died within
an hour after making the state
ment, which he repe ted over
and over again, with the asser-
ton that he could never get

The Liberty Cotton MIL.

Tie stockholders Of this mill
held a meeting at Liberty last
Friday at which meeting it was
decided to sell the property at
public sale on April 18th next.
This mill was closed down early
last summer and has not been
operated since. It is said that
the mill has never paid a profit
but on the contrary has been
operated year after year at a
loss. The reason for this is not
known, some attribute it to
the insufticiency of the plant,
some to the grade of goods man
ufactured, and others to the
heavy operating expenses. Ger
tain it is that it has not been
profitable and many, if not all,
the original stockholders lost
heavily.
What the future OF the mill
will be has not been given out,
if determined. lit is probable,
however, that after the sale the
company will be reorganized or
a new company formed and
it will be operated.
