an riarcos Man Thinks the
Problem Has Been Solved
hEHS 1IIIIHI [IPOHI BUSINESS
udge Kone a Prominent Citizen
of San riarcos Sanguine
the Remedy is a Success.
Austin, Tox , J'lly 23.—Judge
A R. Kone, a prominent citizen
if Sau Marco.-*, was here jester-
.y and held a conference with
ipOV. Lanham with the view of
Laving the commission whom the
''hief Executive is to appoint
tiake the proper and required
est of a practical remedy which
ieorge Franklin, a well-known
armer of Hays county, has disc-
overed eradicating the boll
ireevil. Judge Kone is entbusi-
£tic over the success of the
wiuedy. lie says that it has
practicallv demonstrated that it
[ills the'Weevil without injuring
he cotton plant.
"Mr. Franklin has a farm situ-
[jteu near Sat> Marcos upon which
le has about thirty acres o" cot-
on growing," Judge Kone said
oday. "This cotton was being
avaged by the boll weevil when
dr. Franklin began spraying it
rith this secret preparation,upon
yhich he had been working for
(he last two years. The boll
reevils were killed ami the plants
]re free from the pest, while they
.re flourishing with no evidence
f it having had any bad effects.
>f course I can not say what in-
Tedients compose this liquid
ireparation, but it can be easily
,nd cheaply manufactured by
fny one and applied to the cotton
•lanis at a cost of uot to exceed
1 per acre for the season, induci-
ng the cost of manufacture. One
[praying costs from 25c to 80c
ier acre, and the number of
Srayings necessary depends upon
e rains, which washes the Huid
jrom the plants.
| "I am anxious that the com-
uission to be appointed by Gov.
anham should visit the farm of
r. Franklin or -my other place
[hey mav select and witness a
radical demonstration of the
euiedy."
Judge Kone is sanguine that
Llr. £ ranklin will be awarded the
pO.OOO prize offered by the State.

ICE CREAM SUPPER
1!
Are Oversold in Almost all
Cases
Interview With J. Perry Burrus
of McKlnney by Dallas News
Reporter.
J. Perry Burrus returned to
Dallas last week with the dust of
McKinney, Sherman and other
points on his shoes and a coat of
enduring tan upon his features.
"The Texas mills," he said, to
a Dallas News reporter when he
had dusted himself of a bit, "are
oversold in almost all cases, and
their products are going into
Louisiana, Mississppi, Georgia
aod South Caroliua, and there
has arisen a heavy export busi-
ness to Cuba, Glasgow and Liver-
pool. 'J his fact shows just what
the Texas mills can do when they
have a good crop of wheat as
a basis to work from. They are
doing fine work, and the results
are easily seen. Wheat is being
shipped to St. Louis, Memphis,
Nashville, Atlanta, and is also be-
ing exported to Europe and Mex-
ico. There never was such a
crop of wheat grown in Texas.
The crop this year is the largest
aod best the State has ever pro-
duced in its history. What is
more, the prices are good also.
The wheat of the State has been
all harvested, and practically all
of it has been thrashed, and
when the returns are in it will be
shown that this season's crop has
beat all previous records. Along
the Texas and Paccitic things
looked fine. The corn was im-
mense, and the cotton seemed
larger than that of North Texas.
Up around McKinney the corn
looks well and the wheat con-
forms to the idea I have given of
the crop. The corn crop seems
better than in previous years, in
order to de&crioe it, I can do it
best by quoting that saying which
is now heard every day in Tex s:
"The corn crop is disappointing
for the reason that there are no
nubbins, all the nubbins being as
tull-grown ears."

Sister Critically III.
Mrs* Ed Hinman received a
sage last Friday fromGreen-
jtlle informing her of the critical
less of her sister, Mrs. Susie
sr. Mrs. Hinaian left Fridcy
Corning for Greenville.
Dr. Brackenndge, treasurer of
the Texas Presbvterian Universi-
ty, has furnished Dr. Clagett a
statement of those who have paid
in full their subscriptions to the
University. This statement, shows
subscriptions from twenty-two
different states, extending from
Massachusetts to California and
from Georgia to the state of
Washington. It shows that the
interest in the University is really
National in its character and that
the University will rally to its
support friends in every part of
the United States.
It is doubtful if there is another
instance in the history of the edu-
cational work of the United
States where so extended an in-
terest has been awakened in an
institution before its permanent
location was decided upon, and it
may be taken as an oarnest of
what may be expected when the
University is opened to receive
pupils.
Attention, Lovers ot Song.
The choiristers in each com-
munity are requested to organize
