am proud of the fact that this

on the statute boks OF our state
have been placed there by this In
strumentallty. What Is known as
the suspended sentence; one Of the
most wholesome laws that has ever
been passed in this State, he was the
author, and In my candid opinion
the law will reform and is reforming
more men than any character OF log
islation that has been placed on the
statutes Of Texas In the years gone
by. He brought about the investiga-
tlon that established the pastuer In
stltute. He was the author OF the re-

and sustain the loss. The farmer pur
ports to put the farm under control
OF the law, and that the farmer
shall haul his cotton in any condl-
ton to the gin and the glnner can
properly prepare It, by storagei and
not gin It damp or wet and not have
mixed cotton. Your gyernment re-
Allies these facts. and that we are
the losers and not the purchasers.
In the case Of Wight vs.. Wlsht
which was tried by the highest tri-
bunal. the fact was developed that
the spinner knew exactly what the
loss was on account Of mixed bales
Of cotton. II the dmage was about
ten per cent Of what It should be
they deducted 10 per cent Of the
price from the cotton, and that you
sustained that loss Realizing these
matters It Is best that you take good
care OF your cotton by careful prep
aratlon before ginning, and take
care that no steam or water escape
In the bale. but II other men do these
things, and you try by yourself to
amend the situation, you lose and
have to pay the penalty for this, and
therefore, we had to reach all Of
them. not through the farmer; but
through the ginner, therefore the
law declares that the gin look after
this matter.
Another provision Of this law Is
that the ginnor shall separate the
dirt from the seed We know Of a
elnner In town who got $40 tons
of seed and that from that he took
so tons Of sand, and In hauling to
market there was am extra expense
of transporting this Go tons of sand
