LOCKHART JUNCTION

nhoie OuHCCiOn, SepC. l4.-We
are surely having some hot weather.
IL Is dry In this section and the late
crops are badly in need of rain.
The cotton crop is short, not more
fhan half crop in my estimation.
The price ought to advance unless
there is something to scare the price
down. 1t does seem that the specu-
lators always have a fixed plan to
press the cotton market down. I wish
there was fixed price on cotton, for
1t does seem it is king the world over.
But If we could get the world to stop
long enough to think about self and
the greedy things / do believe that
speculation and graft would be put
70 an end or stop at least for while.
We need better people. We need
God-fearing people and this old world
would be glorious world in which to
live.
While this writer was in Union yes
terday he was called in from the
streets by Mr.. J. E. Tinsley to hear
the bell ring in Washington. NV
curiosity was aroused. When he put
the wireless telephone to my ear I
heard the bell as it told The time in
Washington. 1t was striking for the
hour of IL o'clock. Mr.. Tins!ey was
delighted In showing and telling me
of this invention. He had ME to look
on the face of his watch at a certain
time. AS I looked at the hand and
In few seconds it would stop ringing
and you'd start again until the hour
OF IL was struck and it stopped ring
ing. This is no fake as some might
thing, but go and listen for yourself.
There is always something to learn
and this writer viii never get too old
to learn. 1 live to learn, like the
fellow who said he ate to live. So it
is. 1t may be the half has never been
told or heard of yet.
