Whitwell has SO many orders for cab
bage plants been forwarded to South
Carolina growers. Thousands will be

people will be boiling the cabbage

June.
l note much talk in various papers
about the high cost of living and some
don't seem to understand where the
trouble is, nor how to remedy it. Even
President Taft in u recent message to
Congress, urged that an International
investigation committee be appointed
to find out why the cost of living is SO
high. To properly understand this
subject n must first stop to think
what the success of this nation de-
ponds on, and after a little thought it
will be understood to be the pillow.
There are thousands of idle acres of
land all owe this country, that would
grow good food crops, if they were but
titled. More men behind the pillow,
and less men in automobiles would do
wonders toward solving the high cost
of living problem. Our own popula-
tion is steadily increasing and thous-
ands of foreign immigrants are annu-
ally landing on our soil. Most of these
immigrants are on-producers. The
majority of them drift to manufactur-
ing towns on account of better wages.
l am unable to conceive of any instru-
ment that has ever been worth as
much to ou1 people as the plow. If
the pillow was more extensively used,
and more idle land wisely cultivated,
all of the high cost of living talk
would stop. The more products
grown, the cheaper they will be and
the supply and demand always gov
erns the price. It is the farmer that
feeds and clothes the nations. There
can be no occupation more honorable
than tilling the soil. Even our Presi-
dent, who wants to know about the
high cost of living. is himself served
by the field.
W. G. Hill, of the News, was on
our streets Friday. We are always
glad to have him visit our burg.
There were people here Friday from
all over the district, Al it was tax COL
Letting day, and u trustee, Kirkpat-
lick. was on the spot, serving the pub
lie in his official capacity.
The political pot is beginning to
simmer up here. Our candidate for
sheriff, P. s. Harris, of Sulphur
Spring, took advantage Of the oppor-
tunity Friday to shake hands with his
many friends. Mr.. Harris has the
oldest claim on the sheriff's race, as
he was the first to his can
didacy and is therefore entitled to the
first consideration of the people. Mr. ,
Harris will receive the hearty support
of the people here, and will run some

Come all You Texas rangers wherever
you may be,
Some troubles / will tell you, which
happened unto me;
| Ny name is nothing extra, but the
truth to you I'll tell,
1 am a Jolly ranger and I'm sure
wish you we'll.
Twas at the age of sixteen l Joined
the jolly band,
We marched from Saratoga into the
Rio Grande.
Our captain, he informed us-of course
he thought twas right
Just before we reach that station, says,
"Boys, you'll have to fight"
| saw them Indians coming, / heard
them give a yell,
My feeling at that moment no human
tongue can tell;
l saw their glittering muskets, their
arrows did assail;
My heart it sank within me, my cour-
age almost failed.
] thought of my old mother, in her
tears to me did say,
ITO you they are all strangers. With
me you'd better stay"
But | thought her old and childish and
the best she did not know,
My mind was fixed on ranging and l
was bound to go.
Our captain was our leader, to us he
did command
ITO arms, you Texas rangers, and by
your horses stand"
We saw the smoke ascending; we
heard their muskets' sound,
And many a jolly ranger fell lifeless
to the ground.
We fought for nine long hours before
the strife gave Ger,
The like of killed and wounded l new
er saw before:
Five hundred jolly rangers as ever
rOamed the west,
Lay silent in their slumber, sweet
peace shall be their rest.
Perhaps you have a mother, likewise
a sister too,
And maybe a sweetheart to weep and
mourn for you;
If this be your condition although
you're bound to roam,
advise you by experience, you'd
better stay at home.

The Mountain Herald, Tracy City,
laments its inability to handle all the
matter submitted to it, and says it has
no typesettnig machine. 1t takes more
than a typesetting machine to get out
a live paper. 1t takes hustle, and
some of the most ab1ect slavery II man
ever went into. The News has a
typesetting machine, but If it is a big
advantage we fail to know it. We
have to hustle just as much as if we
never owned it, for it takes money to
buy repairs, and have repairs made,
and type wears out faster on a mach
inc than when handled by hand, and
there are times when the machine
won't work-in damp weather, for in
stance-and also when the machine
needs repairs and when we haven't got
the $15 or $50 necessary. o, it's a
grand sweet song when you have a
typesetting machine-nit' Most peo-
pie believe that all you have to do is
to pour the type into a hopper and it
comes out set into articles, Not so,
for every letter you set on a typeset-
ting machine you use mental effort
and exhaust energy, and the man who
sits at a case and sets type by hand,
we assure you, feels less exhausted af-
ter a days work, than the poor devil
who tolls at a machine a half day.

the volume sof business that a further
increase In capital was advisable and
1t was voted to increase the capital
stock to 100000. In the two years

such an extent and the prospects for
It's further growth were SO great that

these facts and conditions already

remarkable success and phenomenal
