Austin, Tex, Aug. 22.-Gov. o. b.
Colquitt of Texas has called the leg
islature 10 meetin special session
Monday, August "A, TO pass a ware
house bill to facilitate the holding

The bulk of the Texas crop is mar

as the war has closed the European
markets the Texas crop must either
be held until the war is over thrown

SPECTATORS. A warehouse bill is
proposed to enable the farmers to
store their cotton in bonded ware
houses and for the issuance of nego-
table receipts under state supervi-
sion. The banker, it is understood,
will, if desired, loan money On the
cotton so stored at very lowrate
of interest, enabling the producer to
keep possession of his cotton.
The Texas crop is estimated at
three and one-half million bales, val

Texas produces one-fourth of the cot

mills are capable of handling about
80 per cent of the production of the
United States, leaving 100000 bales
to be exported and of this amount

WaterviIIe Mans Suggestion.

Editor Kennebec Journal:
The present city administration, un-
der Mayor Newbert, turned down, last
July, petition, originating among the
farmers of Belgrade and Sidney, fol-
the Farmers Telephone Co. to be al
lowed to come into Augusta.
Mayor Newbert put himself on rec
ord as favoring telephone monopoly
when the whole doctrine or creed OF
the Democratic party is diametrically
opposed to monopoly in every form.
If Augusta, like Waterville, ever
makes any progressive strides, IT will
have to be under different admins
tration from the present, in my opin-
ion.
1t should be remembered that the
Farmers Telephone is owned and con-
trolled by, farmers Of Kennebec coun-
ty, the larger part of whom live In
Belgrade and Sidney. 1t should also
be remembered that this company
does not connect. with the New Eng
land Co.; that the whole telephone
system, represented by them, is serv-
ing more than 5000 families and bus
mess places in Somerset, Franklin,
oxford and Kennebec counties.
So far as / know, Rome and Au-
gusta, are the only places in either OF
those four counties that ever refused
to permit to these home farmer lines.

A New Source of Income,

A great deal depends upon the angle
from which we view a thing. That is
truism, but let us apply it to the
matter Of champagne corks-only the
small, light, almost valueless corks
from the battles that hold the cham
pagne which intoxicates.
Only the finest grade of cork is used
for champagne bottles, yet they are
almost Insignificant in the cost to the
buyer-a matter of a cent, while the
bottle Of intoxicant costs him S. Sec
ond hand corks are worth even less
because they are put into machine
and cut up into waters and are used
again in the metal caps on mineral
water. beer bottles, and the like
The corks are small and cheap but
they can be used again. Now what re-
turn is there IL the contents of the
bottle--a headache or a heartache, or
both? There is no return; the IS is
worse than wasted, for it has brought
regrets If not irredeemable folly OF
crime.
And here is the lesson Of the magni-
tude of the corks which fall from the

discovered that by saving only the
blow out"-they may add handsome
figures to the fund which furnishes
the rooms of their association. Many
standard sets of books already have
been added.
The plan of collecting champagne
corks has been In operation for about
four months, during which time thous-
ands of corks have been gathered in.
The corlSs are obtained by the walters
from the wine which is ordered in the
various cafes and restaurants along
Broadway and are brought to the as
sociation headquarters where they are
stored in barrels until such a time as
there are enough to net the association
fair price. The first batch, 5000
corl1s, brought IS cents gross, netting
the thrifty walters something like s5s.
Then another cork dealer heard what
the walters were doing and offered a
petter price The association set the
two dealers to bidding and finally one
agreed to take all their collection at SIS
cents gross. The largest collection for
any one day was after the night be-
fore" New Years. at which time more
than two thousand corks found their
way into the barrels. The present ac-
emulation, II placed in a pile, would
make mound three feet in height and
six feet in diameter
If each cork could relate the story OF
its removal from the bottle the follow
ing hour, and the hours results in
the years to come, we wonder if the
lesson would puncture and braineells
in the fabric of our social idiocy.

They're Waking Up.

One after another newspapers OF
! the country are admitting the thing
| that everybody else has seen for two
years-that a great wave of opposi-
! tion to the exploitation of humanity
by the rum trust has been yelling up
and sweeping over this country. For
one selfish reason or another some
| times revenue, sometimes political con-
siderations, sometimes cowardice,
sometimes dunderheadedness. some
times perversity and pure cussedness,
and sometimes only jealousy of those
who had seen the light and were doing
their best to spread the news-has
prevented open acknowledgement of
the facts.
Long ago even the inexpert and the
victims of social customs and culti-
waited habits. discovered that it was
not the demand for drink that caused
the enormous traffic, but the demand
of the makers and sellers of booze for
DRINKERS.
And at last the people have risen
against the colossal commercial devil
ishness which puts out millions OF
columns of advertising and false edi-
torial expression annually, in spread
ing the sale of its soul and body des-
troying poison.
At last the Lewiston Journal. which
has many times sneered at the work
and deterfninsti ton of the. kennebec
Journal, has made a marvellous dis
coyery; it learns that "a great tenn
peranceerevivai is sweeping the coun-
try. Here is what it says:
Reports from the senatorial fight in
Alabama show an extraordinary sit
uation in that state. The rum ring
imperils Birmingham's prosperity.
There is a deliberate attempt to de-
bauch labor-the negro being the
prey. Rum makes potentially
fruitful worker a menace of the
community. The Rum Trust inter-
est is behind Underwood. Thus pro-
hibition is the real issue in this
great contest for United States SEN
ate. Wake up-all Maine! A great
temperance revival is sweeping East
and West from Penroses Long-sur-
fering state Of booze"
