A Mighty Lame Excuse.

We are disincined to chide Charles Otto Lo-
beck, who Is very much OF local institution, but
his apology for the failure OF the democrats In
congress to pass the child labor bill so earnestly
desired by the country. is too thin. lie tells the
truth when he says the bill died in the senate,
but not the whole truth.
The bin. which passed the house by an over
.whelming majority, failed In the senate because
that body wasted its time a caucus measure,
designed to relieve the cotton growers OF the
south. When the child labor bill had chance
to come up. and its only chance. II was stopped
by the Objection OF senator oVerman of North
Carolina, representing a cotton-growing and
cotton manufacturing constituency.
The democrats should not be allowed TO
eTade their responsibility for the failure of this
Humanitarian measure to become law II was
killed By the combination OF democratic caucus
rule and the objection OF a democratic senator.

Hinshaw put up from fruit grown on

here and that they could be found a
very profitable fruit to cultivate.

WHO WILL MARKET THE
FTEST BALE THIS YEAR ?

There is much speculation among
the cotton men of Durant as to who
will bring in the first bale" this
year With the exception of one or
two years. farmers from the eclebrat-
ed Twelve Mile Prairie have carried
off the honor each year. On(August
the goth. 1913. the first bale wa
brought in by Mr.. Rogers, well
known farmer of Kemp. Last year
the first bale was brought in on Sat
urday, August %, and sold for IL
cents. and prize of s45 was pre-
sented to the grower.
1t is known that n number of FAR
mers are figuring on bringing in the
first bale this season. and are already
surveying their fields with an eye 10
getting the extra premium for being
the first. 1t is also known that the
South Side farmers are on the hunt
for enough of the fleecy staple to
make a bale, and they are going to
try to carry off the honor.
Competent cotton men state chat
this year the first bale will not reach
the city before about the 10th of tie
coming month on account of the
backward season.
The cotton crop looks exceeding
well in this county, and the yield
promises to be heavy. The wagon
receipts here last year were 5000
bales. but cotton experts think the
figure will exceed that considerably
this year. With favorable weather ior
the picking season.
