An HONEST MAN.

In 1895 when the Red River Val
ley was swept by floods, the planta-
tons of Col. B. w. Marston were
overflowed and caused him such a
severe loss that he had to make a
compromise settlement with his
creditors.
At that time Col. Marston owed
100,000.00 and settled with his
creditors for fifty cents on the dol
lar. After the settlement had been
concluded, Col. Marston told his
creditors that some day he would
pay the balance of fifty thousand
dollars which he felt that he still
owed them.
A few months ago oil prospect
ors struck oil on one of Col. Mars
toms Red River properties, and
from poor man, Col. Marston
found himself very rich, as liquid
dollars were flowing out of the
ground in steady stream. A few
weeks ago Col. Marston mailed
checks aggregating fifty thousand
dollars to his old creditors, thus
settling in full debt twenty years
old and showing himself to be a
thoroughly honest man. Since max
ing this settlement his good luck has
continued and last week another
paying we'll, the Marston No. 4, was
brought in on his property, while
the Marston No. 5 has already been
sunk to depth of more than one
thousand feet.

COTTON, CATTLE, ETC.

1.-THE south needs not simply re-
lief," says the Baltimore American,
il needs remedy for the one-crop
evil, and the country needs the
south to help it out of the meat
shortage problem" While this has
been said often as far back as the
faintest childish recollection of men
now living, the practical demonstra-
ton of the truth of it was never SO
clearly recognized as at this time OF
general decentralization resulting
from the European war.
1t is idle, of course, to be crying
over what has or what has not been
the policy of southern farmers in the
past, the problem is how to impress
the facts for future proper guidance
The SICK man forswears his evil way
but well again he generally resumes
his old practices. The southern
planters are now quite repentant of
course and are promising themselves
never again to be guilty of folly of
putting their whole dependence in
cotton, but who can say that the
stagnation caused by the war having
given place to the rush and prosper
ity of peace established, they will
not again follow the line of least re-
sistance and plant more cotton?
If there could be found some way
to tie the southern farmers to their
present realization of the folly of the
"one crop" policy lasting benefi-
cence would be done the whole coun-
try. The department of agriculture
at Washington has been doing some
effective work to this end recently
and by redoubling its efforts it may
he able to create a sentiment for d.
versity, for cattle and poultry rails
ing, etc., that will stick. The press
is doing its best in that direction
and with the aid of the department
perhaps some permanent good may
be accomplished.-Ex.

A howl went up from the sugar
planters few days ago, whe,i the
plant of the American Sugar Rein
ing Company closed down for a few
days because of the overstocked con-
dition of the plant, causing consid-
cradle decline in the price of raw
sugar. Now .hat the refinery has
started again, the price OF sugar has
gone up. If the closing of the plant
for few days so greatly depresses
the market for raw sugar what will
the planters do if,the plant is closed
permanently? Trusts are, we know,
bad institutions, but it some times
happens that a live Trust is much
better than dead one, as the tur-
pentine producers can well testify.

More War Material for Huerta.
Closely following the landing of
munitions Of war for Huerta from the
two liners at Puerto Mexico. a large
consignment from Japan is due at
Manzanillo or Salina Cruz on the west
coast. Word has reached Washington
that the Japanese cruiser Idzumo,
which has been lowering around Ma
zatlan has gone down the coast and
though the latter report is lacking in
official confirmation, so far, it is UNDER
stood that, like the German cruiser
Bremen, which conveyed the Ypiranga
to Puerto Mexico on the east coast, the
Japanese warship will accompany the
expected merchantmen to one Of the
ports connected by rail with the Mex
lean capital
The Japan arms and ammunition
were ordered by Huerta many months
ago.
Treasury experts, discussing the
landing of the cargoes of the Ypiranga
and Bavaria at Puerto Mexico, dis
missed the erroneous theory that the
masters Of those ships would render
themselves liable to punishment by
landing the munitions at a port other
than that to which they were originally
consigned.
There is nothing. in American law,
at least. to prevent consigners changing
destinations of cargOes.
Absence OF a proper manifest, how
ever, is punishable and General Fun
