A SURE ENOUGH POTATO.

On last Saturday afternoon the
Eagle received a sweet potato grown
by a colored woman within the city
limits of Bryan that weighed 20
pounds, and which we consider q
world.beater. We published short
account of the mammoth potato on the
front page Saturday afternoon, direct
ing the attention of Editor Blackshear
Of Nayasota to 1t. We said nothing
further about 1t yesterday, thinking
surely Editor Blackshear would come
across in his Monday issue, gracefully
acknowledge his defeat, offer his con-
ordinations, etc. Imagine our sur
prise when we opened his paper this
morning to find not one word about
our world.beater, but on the other
hand we find him still talking about
his little 16.pound sprout. 1t pains
us to be compelled to call his atten'
ton directly and speciiicaily 10 the
defeat he has suffered, but justice
compels US to do 1t. II 1t were only a
pound, or even two pounds, we had
beaten him, we might not be so In
sistent on his coming across, but ten
pounds, nearly double his much boast
ed champion, is too great to be passed
up. These are the facts and figures
Ed; the potato is on exhibition In our
office, where It has been examined by
hundreds and weighed by several dif
ferent parties. and We would b'
mighty glad II you would run up and
take a look at a sure enough. full
grown, well.developed sweet potato

on the Eagle editor while here on a

the changes and progress taking place
in Bryan within the past few years,
was encouraging indeed. He said
these changes were more apparent to
man who had not been here In some
time than to those who live here and
note every step as taken in the city's
advancement. He further said the

HIGH PRICES FOR coTToN-HoW
KEEP THEM HIGH.

At present the outlook is that food
stuffs are much more likely to be high
in price next year than is cotton. II
the farmers OF the South go cotton
mad" and plant all their land to cot
ton, then they may expect not only TO
find the price lower than they antici'
pate, but they will see II still further
reduced by the high price OF food
stuffs. This reduction comes about by
having to pay out the cotton money
for the necessaries OF life, which
means the same thing as lower price
for cotton. To the fact that the South
last year and this has been able to
feed itself to greater extent than
heretofore is due In large measure the
plentifulness OF money In the South
now, because the high prices received
for cotton were supplemented by high
prices for other things the farmers
had TO sell. and also by the fact that
they raised more grain. food, feed and
forage than heretofore for their own
pse.
