doubtedly be the largest and most In

Of directors. are putting forth every
possible effort to assemble . collec-

premiums offered this year for e.
hibits Of every character are much
larger than have ever been offered be-
fore. The wisdom Of the directors In
Increasing the value Of the premiums
d shown BY the manner In which sx-
hibitors all over the state ere inquir.

ransements for space.
Since last rear the grounds have
been greatly enlarged. and improve
ments have been made ct an sxpendi-
ture Of thousands Of dollars. People
attending the exposition this fall will
unQuestionably be asresably surprised
and delighted at the many improve
ments that have been made since their
last visit. Fifty thousand dollars alone
has been spent on the construction Of
. magnificent half-mile race track. and
one Of the finest grandstands In the
entire Southwest.
The agricultural interests will re-
ceive more attention than ever before
this year. The officials OF the Cotton
Palace go upon the theory that agri-
culture Is the biggest thing In Texas.

Many thousands OF dollars have been
expended In the erection OF barns for

Everything that will be OF interest 10
the farmers OF Texas will be found at

THAT LATEST PsNl-
reNrlARv LAND DEAL

Reports In the daily newspaper OF
the State are to the effect that Gov.
ernor Ferguson has purchased $4,000
acres OF land In Houston County for
the penitentiary system for s3s0.000.
This Is at the rate Of approximately
s27 per acre. The Dallas Democrat
considers that this land deal would
be bad bargain. at any price. as the
State already has more penitentiary
land than Il needs. But the Dallas
Democrat would like to know at what
valuation the land has been rendered
this and last year for taxation. Some
OF the big dailies ought to iind out.
or course. the report that Cover.
nor Ferguson has bought the land"
IL only a common expression. Gov
ernor Ferguson has no legal authority
to personally consur,mate such a
transaction for the State: the Peni-
Tertiary Commissioners are the
States authorized agents. But II
would be bad bargain even for them
to make. II ANYBODY has made II.
Is there any COMMISSIONS OR
BONUSES coming to any hish-up
c. McNealus.
An Austin dispatch announces that
Governor Ferguson has arranged for
the purchase Of s3s0.00o worth OF
farm lands for the use OF the State
prison system. II this has been done.
Il must be under the authority con.
terred by Law upon the Prison Com
who may purchase lands
upon credit. the State not being re.
sponsible beyond the lieu reserved or
lands. The Senate COMMITTEES. which
Investigated the prison sys.
tenn. recommended that this authority
should be revoked and that In It's
place a law be enacted restraining
the commissioners from either buy.
Ing or selling lands. except as speci.
ically authorized by the Legislature.
Also. this purchase does not seem
10 be In full harmony with the recon-
OF the committee. which
proposed the sale of two Of the prison
arms and tentatively suggested the
purchase OF other land In lieu thereof.
L Is Numerically opposed to the
OF Charles Edwin

by the committee. who urged that
here were other causes than foods.
