an Eagle reporter expressed himself
regarding the cotton situation. He
said the rain the other day had some

the crop, and that in the hill country
about two-thirds of the crop had been
gathered. and in some places all of it,
while in the bottom at least one-half
had been gathered on an average.
However, much of the cotton already
gathered has not yet been brought to
the city, but the general outlook is
that the warehouse receipts for this
year will be from one-fourth to one
third off from those of last year

THE KATY SLEEPER

The Katy sleeper to St, Louis is
probably Columbia's best railroad &C
commodation. Unfortunately the
Athens of Missouri is not on a main
line of some railroad. Long waits
and transfers always come to the
traveller through Columbia.
But the sleeper is through car to
st. Louis. One may go to bed at $3.50
o'clock at night, and when morning
comes he is in st. Louis. The trip
can be made while you get good
nights rest
The Missouri, Kansas and Texas
Railroad cannot furnish this service
unless it is better patronized by the
citizens of Columbia. The car has
been taken off for a few months and
then put back for another trial. This
time seems to be the last chance the
company intends to give Columbia
The officials say that the car will be
kept long enough to insure a fair test
Patronage will keep it.

Twenty Years Ago,

James Wilson of the firm Of Bed
ford and Wilson of Columbia was
awarded patent upon a heating
stove he has invented. The patented
feature was an arrangement giving a
draft from the top of the stove, some
thing after the order of black
smiths forge. Mr.. Wilson had manu-
featured in Columbia a number OF
these stoves and those in use gave
satisfaction.

OUR CONDUCT AT LAWRENCE.

The annual Missouri-Kansas game
brings the students of the University
before the people of Missouri, Kansas
and surrounding states. Those who
go to Lawrence to see the game will
note the conduct of the students from
the "show me" state Those who stay
at home and read the newspapers to
find the result of the game will also
look to see how the students con-
Quoted themselves.
There are people in the state who
think the University is made up of
"rah-rah" boys and campus
queens. Such people, who are skep-
tical concerning the University as an
educational center, are eager to take
up any little thing that one student
may do and hold that as common to
the entire student body. They speak
only OF tHe TOu6u luiH6S Iho' oSSuA
and never mention the good things.
1t is, then, the duty of each indi-
vidual to uphold the conduct Of the
University and behave in such a way
that outsiders will have no cause to
talk. A good impression made by our
actions at Lawrence will 60 far
toward giving non-residents a better
impression of the University. Many
people Judge a neighboring state by
it's university.
Truly, when victory comes, students
are expected to celebrate. They
should do it. But there are two ways
of celebrating-good and bad.
At Lawrence, Missouri rooters will
celebrate, but it will be in the good
way. Missouri will be known as a
school that knows how to celebrate
in the right way as we'll as a school
that plays clean athletics.
The reputation of the state and ol
the University is at stake.

it would gladly join in a demand that
the old order of things be re-estab-

in Boone County.

SHOP EARLY.

Does Christmas mean the same
thing to the tired, over-worked shop
girl, the messenger boy and the mail
carrier as it does to us? To US,
Christmas is a time when We ex-
change gifts, time of homecoming,
a reunion of the dear ones. Does 1t
mean this to the other class? In
gladdening the hearts of others by
our gifts and deeds of kindness are
we forgetting that class of people to
which Christmas should mean more:
Perhaps most of us are not able
to come in personal contact with
these deserving bread-earners. But
we can help. 1t is such little thing
to do and we can not realize what a
kindness we are rendering. Let us
make up our minds this year to buy
our Christmas goods early. Begin
now. A little shopping now and then
will not only tighten the burden oi
those who stand behind the counters
but the leisurely purchasing of pres;
ents becomes a pleasure and not
task to be dreaded. Early Christmas
shopping lessons the strain and GRIND
that makes Christmas q dread tC
those working in large stores.

 40O ARE SAVED ROYAL GEORGE, BRITISH STEAM FER, LIABLE TO TURN OVER IN ST. LAWRENCE RIVER. 425 SAID TO BE IN DANGER Only First-Ciass Passengers Are Taken Off, and Tugs Cannot
 Reach Wreck--Steerage
 Folk Are Left.
425 SAID TO BE IN DANGER

Montreal, Nov. S.--About 225 pas of the 200 of the crew of the magnifi. cent passenger liner Royal George, which went on the rocks, are in grave danger.
 The big liner, her bottom believed to be torn almost from stem to stern, Is hard and fast in the St. Lawrence river on the massive rock formation iutting out from Point St. Lawrence, 10 miles below Quebec City So fast was the liner going that she was hurled high on the rocks, with a trifie more than six feet of water under her, and she may topple over at any moment. Four hundred passengers were taken off by tugboats during the night
 At last accounts a terrific storm was raging and great waves were dashing against the vessel It was impossible for any of the fleet of res cue tugs which had been hurried to the assistance of the Royal George to approach close to the wreck. They will stand by, however ready for~d de- yelopments. The officials of the Ca nadian Northern Steamship company admit that the position of the steamer is desperate. but they say that they believe they will rescue all hands
 The Royal George sailed from Bris- tol England, on what was to have been her last trip of the year, on Oc- tober 30.

national balloting The exact figures will not be available for several days. In fact, reports show that the count in many states had not been reported to the various county clerks in hun dreds of instances, and it seemed probable that it would be the middle of next week at least before authentic semi-official totals would be obtain able.
 It is certain, however, that the So- cialists, although they lost their na- tional asset-Congressma Victor L. Berger-made great gains in the pop ular vote. In Illinois they elected three members of the legislature, and, owing to the peculiar complexion of that body, in which the Democrats lack F votes of a majority and the Republicans lack 20, with the Bull Moose holding 2S members, the So cialists may be able to make trades that will help the party materially. The Socialist leaders said they had cast SO0,000 votes.
 Stubbs, One of "Seven," Beaten.
 Wilson got Iowa by 15,000; Illinois, it would appear, by nearly as large a figure, and probably will not have less than 10000 in Kansas. One ef- feet of the loss of that state by Roose- welt is the defeat for the United States senate of Gov. Stubbs, one of the original seven governors who caused the Roosevelt hat to be thrown into the ring.
 Roosevelt seems to have run second in many of the important states, and this, he and his followers declare, will give them control of the election ma chinery as the second party-an ad vantage that might prove important in organization work.
 At Democratic headquarters it was intimated that the leaders would like to vote a prize for the discovery of the statisticians who, before Nov. 5 declared the election surely would be thrown into the house of represents tives and that that body would be un- able to reach a choice.
 McCombs Vindicated, Nearly.
 The fact that the Democratic candi date virtually is sure of 39 states and may get 40 goes far to vindicate Chairman McCombs, who last Satur' day night refused to concede a single state to Taft or Roosevelt.
