1t sure is kind of the steel trust to
keep on manufacturing cotton ties
And they say they are doing it at a
loss too. And they say the only rea-
son they keep on a doing it is be-
cause their competitors won't, and
they are going to bravely stand by the
cotton growing States of the South at
all hazards. Now did you ever hear
of greater kindness? Congress ought
to give the boys anything they want.
Speaking of the competitors of the steel
trust, however, last time we heard
from them they had been squeezed so
tight they could not manufacture a
pint tin cup, to say nothing of ties for
the cotton crop of the world.

EXPLANATION OF
RESOLUTION IS
A. M. Kennedy, Member Of Legisla.
ture, Shows Hardship lts Adop-
tlon Would Work on
Taxpayers.
To the Editor Of The Bryan Eagle: :

To the Editor of The Bryan Eagle:
Permit me to direct attention to
the several subjects contained in the
proposed constitutional amendment
known as Senate Joint Resolution
Ne. IS:
/. 1t authorizes the State officials
to create debts against the State to
supply deficiencies in the current rev.
enues to the. amount of half mill
ion dollars. which may be repeated as
often as the debts are paid The limit
now is 100000. The increase Is
$500 900.
2. The Legislature is given power
to authorize the issuance of bonds to
purchase additional ground and erect
necessary buildings for the Univer-
sity of Texas. This is to include a
medical department and an agricul-
tural and mechanical college in con.
nection with the State University at
Austin. M
3. The Legislature may issue bonds
for the construction of necessary
buildings for other State institutions.
A. The Legislature may authorize
the issuance Of bonds secured by a
lien on the real property of the peni-
Tertiary system for the purpose Of
4
constructing buildings and making
permanent improvements.
| 8. The amendment authorizes the
bonding of certain divisions of a'coun-
| ty or any number of adjoining coun-
ties for roads and other public i'm
provements by a majority vote. II
now requires two-thirds majority to
issue these bonds.
6. In the Improvement of rivers,
creeks, building of levees to prevent
overflows, the bonded Indebtedness
may be for an amount not to exceed
one-half of the assessed valuation OF
the lands. 1t is now one-fourth.
7. The issuance of bonds by ma
jority vote for the construction and
maintenance of public warehouses OF
in aid thereof may be authorized.
Therefore. we have seven distinct
separate and independent propositions
in one amendment, and the voter IL
forced to vote for every one of them
or against every one of them. He IL
not permitted to exercise his owl
good horse sense in choosing which
he will oppose and which he will ia
vor. But If voter favors a majority
vote for the issuance of road bonds
etc, and opposes other provisions o.
this amendment, he can vote agains
this resolution (No. 49, and for Sen
ate Joint Resolution No. 4. If he ia
vors bonded warehouses and opposes
other parts of this amendment, he cal
vote against this one and for Senate
Joint Resolution No 4. The ballot OF
No. 4 gives the voter the opportunit!
to vote for the road bond features AM
against warehouses as he sees fit. HI
can vote for one or both.
If the amendment is adopted tn
, LEGISLATURE can issue all the bonds o
the class in Paragraphs 2, 3 and
that it desires and pay whatever rat
: NJ intaresf II NAV wish There is n
limit So it is a guess as to how man
(; bonds lin dollars) will be authorized

SUIT TO RECOVER
MOUNTAIN LANDS

A peculiar suit has been brought
through New York trust company to
secure possession of the lands of the
Seouatchie Valley Saw Mill & Lum-
Der Company, company formed in
Cleveland, Ohio, some twenty-one
years ago to purchase virgin timber
lands at the head of Bryant Cove, and
operate a saw mill here The suit
has been brought in behalf of the coal
company at Tracy City, it is reported,
who maks claim that while the Cleve-
land company may have bought the
timber or surface right to these lands,
they did not buy the mineral right.
Claim is made OIL the famous Stump
& BARREL grants, which cover large
norton of this mountain district. Mr..
A. Milbrandt, of Cleveland, o., is
here, and has made careful examln-
alton of the records of the purchases
of land by the company which are pre-
served at Jasper, the county seat OF
this county, and finds nothing in them
to warrant a claim to the mineral
right to these lands by these compan-
les. The Cleveland concern was un-
fortunate from the very start. They
located very large sawmill here, but
after SO doing found they were unable
to float theil logs down Sequachee
river to their mill, and had to discon-
tinue operations. Finally the mill
was leased to Mr.. Milbrandt, who
took it up the cove to Peter Cave
Fork, where large amount of timber
was cut. The mill was later sold to
Bridgeport parties and moved to that
place. Large quantities of splendid
timber yet remain to be cut on these
lands, and fine coal bodies are said to
exist. and the Cleveland company, as
represented by Mr.. Milbrandt, will
resist any effort to take the property
from them, as it is very valuable.
