TEXAS WONDERFUL WEALTH

Gov. o. 3. Colquitt in Leslies
I estimate that the state will produce
100000 bales& of cotton. and the lint
and-seed together viii bring to the pro-
ducers approximately $3.50, 100000 and l es-
innate the value of the wheat. oat and
corn crops at 100000. The state will
sell $i0o,0O0,000 worth of live stock this
year, and the poultry and dairy products
will bring s79.o0o0o0 more. The products
of the farm and ranch, therefore, in
Texas this year will easily amountto $780,
00o,0OO-a sum equal to $3.50 per capita for
every man, woman and child In the state,
or sum equal to 5000 per capita for EACH
voter in the state.
Added TO this sum Is the value of the
great lumber products of the state, the oil
products. the rice, truck and fruit crops
of the state, and the mineral products,
which. in my opinion, will easily amount
to $3.50, 600, 900 more.

BY Thomas Hood.
The autumn is old;
The scar leaves are lying
He hath gathered up gold,
And now he is dying:
OLD age, begin signing! ~
The vintage is ripe;
The harvest is heaping:
But some that have soWed
Have no riches for reaping
Poor wretch, fan a-weepiug!
The years in the wane;
There is nothing adorning;
The night has no eve,
And the day has no morning;
Cold winter gives warning.
The rivers run chill;
The red sun is sinking; =
And | am grown old.
And life is fast shrinking;
Here's enough for sad thinking!

The Smallpox ContagiOn.

The condition of the health of the
csmmunity, so far as the smallpox
contagion is concerned, seems to be
somewhat improved at present. during
the past week few cases have devei-
oped but they were reported and prop
erly quarantined. Several cases have
developed on the Idaho side of town,
It has been the disposition of some OF
the people on both sides of the line to
refrain from reporting cases so as to
avoid the inconvenience Of quarantine
This is something no good citizen will
do. Failure to report the existence OF
the disease renders one liable to tine
and imprisonment and exposes the
whole community to the dangers OF the
epidemic. AS yet the cases have been
mild but serious case may develop at
any time if the spread of the contag-
ion is not stopped.
Residents of Idaho are subject TO
practically the same regulations OF
quarantine as those of the Washington
side. If the epidemic gets beyond con-
trail on the Idaho side it may become
necessary to quarantine at the State
line. If the contagion spreads to the
point of compelling the closing OF
schools, theaters, churches and all pub
lie gatherings, the interests Of each In
dividual would suffer and it behooves
all individuals to see that every case is
reported. If any individual knows OF a
case of smallpox that has not been re-
poated to the authorities it is his duty
to report it and an example VIII De
made of the persons who have en-
deavored to cover up the existence OF
the disease.

FIRE DAMAGES
WITT RESIDENCE
HOSE CO.'S GOOD WORK
BLAZE EXTINGUISHED QUICK
l.l AFTER GAINING A
BIG HEADWAY.

Fire at III o'clock last night par
tially destroyed the wo-story brick
residence belonging to Prof. r. L.
Nixon and known as the Witt proper
ty, west of the courthouse on Faux
ner street. Prompt and efficient work
by the local hose companies not only
prevented spread of the fire to ad-
Jacent buildings but saved good por-
ton Of the building itself.
When the alarm was turned in
the fire which apparently originated
in The rear of the building, had gain
ed such headway that almost the en-
tire building seemed to be in flames.
In unusually quick time, however, the
fire companies had connected their
hose To the hydrants and with good
water pressure the fire was soon un-
der control.
The building was unoccupied at the
time of the fire and carpenters had
only the day before begun the work
of remodeling the interior for a ten
ant who expected to move to the
place in a short time. Insurance
amounting to $4,000 was carried on
the building, and it is thought the
damage will not exceed 1000.
Chief }. A. King of the local fire
department is very proud of the ex-
cellent work done by his men last
night, the boys fighting the fire with
all the coolness and judgment of vet
eran tiremen. Nj King also desires
to thank the bystanders for not inter
fering with the work of the hose com.

the percentage throughout September
was practically maintained, 1t is
not possible this year to institute any
comparison in condition with last
year, for in the August now ended the
crop made great growth, being two
or three weeks late. This years de
teroratlon will appear in September,
so that it is practically certain that
the percentage at the end of the
growing season on Sept. 25 will be
materially lower than it was last
year at III.
A little further reasoning will also
serve to show that the claim for a
crop of 100000 bales is not sub
stantiated by statistics. The acreage
planted was estimated at 81 ,097 900
The ten-year average yield per acre
is 1862 pounds, on which basis con-
dition figure of 1875 would indicate a
crop of 12,275,000 bales. Last
seasons wonderful crop averaged
207.7 pounds per acre and assuming
that the yield this year will be as
much, the crop would reach but IA
~ 900 bales. Now everyone knows
that less fertilizer was used than last
year, that the ground was less thor
oughly prepared and that the season
up to date has been much less favora-
bic. This is saying nothing of the
lateness and the frost possibilities.
If, therefore, prices in options have
been depressed to l0A cents by ex-
pectations for crop well in excess
of IA 4,000,000 bales they are evidently
too low.
