It has boon proposed that the
constitution be amended so that
all officers will hold for a term of
four years. This chango should
be made, for the holding of elec-
tions every two years is expen-

ing.—Exchange.

WILLIAMSON IS CHAMPION.
It Raised More Cotton Thai Any
County in the United States.
Washington, March 6. The census
bureau has issued bulletin No. H5, giv-
ing ectton gin statistics. The crop of
IHItU is used as a basis of computation.
Possibly the most interesting feature of
the bulletin is the cotton production of
the several cotton growing states, by
counties. It serves to call attention to
the marvelous greatness of Texas as a
cotton producing state. Twenty-three
Texas counties produced in IS99 more
than 40,000 HOT '^und bales, each.
Only eleven counties in all the rest of
the south together made such record,

She was a woman, worn and

for a single sin. They cast her
out of the king's highway, and

to blame, but tho world spared
him a breath of shame. Beneath
his feet he saw her lie, but he
raised his head and passed her
by. They wero the people who
