The committee on the proposed
new highway from Norton to Brigh-
ton have made no report on it to
date and do not appear favorable to
it because it comes under a special
appropriation of money. This would
seem an important matter for the
people of Essex County to advance
theft interests before the committee
at a public hearing.

The judges we're L. B. Jones, M. T

Second Count, November IS
The next count will be held Novem-
ber Is. The second month of the con-
test promises to cause more excite
ment than at any time during the
race. and there will no doubt be
something doing every moment of
the fray.
In order to make it interesting for
for each and every contestant, we
will give $15 in prizes for the next
count; $40 to the one making the
greatest increase between this date
and the next, and S. to the one max
ing the next greatest gain. This means
that the person standing lowest has
as good a chanc as anyone to win one
Of these prizes.
1t is not the total standing that will
determine the winning of this $40
prize, but the greatest increase. For
instance, should the leader increase
fifty thousand votes and have eighty
thousand votes. if the person having
hte smallest number were to increase
fifty-one thousand, she would win the
ten dollar prize.
In this way we give every contest
ant something to work for, and feel
sure everybody will go after the prize
with vengeance.
AS well as making an offer of SIS in
gold, we make new bonus offer,
which will be positively the biggest
bonus we will give at any time on
clubs of seven subscriptions, so take
advantage of this at~once, and put
yourself right to win on November
Is, which is the date of lhe next count.
Owing to having secured a position
with the Herald, Miss Edythe Os-
borne has dropped from the contest.
The following bonus offer will
combineand remain unchanged up tC
November 16. Here is the bonus;
For every seven new subscriptions,
10000 extra donus votes, making q
total of ID 200 votes.
For every seven renewal subscrip-
tions, 5000 extra bonus votes, max
ing total of II 500 votes.
For every seven back subscriptions
5000 extra bonus votes, making a
total of $500

people than the statement published

ANOTHER RAILROAD
FOR sAM ANTONIO

San Antonio, Texas, Jan. 1.--Con-
tracts have been signed and construc.
ton work will begin February 1, 1912,
on the proposed railroad which will
extend from this city to San Angelo,
where 1t will connect with the Kansas
City, Mexico & Orient railroad, and
south to Crowther. In the northern
part Of McMullen county 1t will branch,
one line extending to Rockport and
Arkansas Harbor and the other to
points in the lower Rio Grande Valley.
British capital is behind this project
and proposes developing the Crowther
oil and gas fields. The oil will be
transported to the sea coast and the
gas will be used for manufacturing
purposes. 1t is estimated that the
whole project will cost approximately
$40,Ooo.000.

MORE ADVICE
TO THE FARMERS
To the Farmers of Texas:


The Texas Industrial Congress Is
formulating plans for agricultural
prizes for 1912 and will make condi
tons public just as soon as practical
BILE. In the meantime we advise all
farmers who may or may not enter
the contests to pillow all Of the land
that they expect to cultivate for
prizes, or otherwise, at least one inch
deeper than heretofore, and when 1t
Is practicable to do SO, to follow In
the regular furrow with bull.tongue,
going six to ten inches deeper but
turning Up no new soil. This will
cause the earth to hold more OF the
winter rains to be used during the
coming season. Pillow and harrow until
you have a practically perfect seed
bed six or eight inches deep; pillow
around instead OF up and down the
slopes to prevent washing; terrace
when 1t Is necessary, and drain well
II the land needs 1t. Rotate and d.
versify your crops, save and use every
pound OF manure of all kinds and put
1t on the land. Do not burn stubbles
or grass or any other substance. green
or dry, that would decay in the earth,
but pillow it all under. Get ready for
a better crop than ever, but prepare to
plant some kaffir corn as safeguard
against a dry season. AS far as 1t Is
possible to do so prepare to raise your
own bread, meat, vegetables, fruit, and
feed and then put moderate amount
of land In cotton and by best methods
get larger returns and consequently
an increased profit on smaller acre
age. Increase your ability to live well
and surround yourself with all neces-
sary comforts and as many luxuries
as possible by stopping waste in the
nome, on the farm and in transit.
