Then West Toxhm May Jet
Consideration.
The people over In the south and
east parts of the state seem to have
made up their minds that West Tex-
as doesn't need an agricultural col-
lege or anything else In the way of
state Institutions. The fact has been
demonstrated that those people are
prompted by selfishness.
The facts have Kng ago been es-
tablished that agricultural condi-
tions there and In West Texas are al-
most entirely different. The young
farmer who has been educated In
sells climate crops and methods
there must learn over when he comes
to the West.
The figure have been produced to
prove the Injustice of forcing West
Texas boy. to pay for long travel
and the exposure to low and un-
healthy altitude to get the techni-
cal knowledge to equip him for his
life work in W!et Texas. The facts
hare also been shown that West Tex-
as pay. more taxes than East Texas
to maintain our state Institutions
and yet thwy would sneer at ua and

stood four square for the Wilson ad-
ministration and defeated their antl-
a.iininistration candidates for office.
In Georgia the conditions were pe-
culiar and the result of the recent
primaries there while said to be a
slap at the democrats may be said
to have but little bearing on the par-
ty. Hoke Smith'has done his worst
to embarrass the administration In
th senate and Tom Watson has
fought the administration and the
party always.
The people of Georgia prefer an
open fighter to one who stands on the
inside and shoots down his alleged
own comrades. Tom Watson has
been nominated for the senate and
democrat will know already what
is to be his attitude toward a demo-
cratic administration.
Probably the people of Georgia
felt Justified In choosing the great-
est of two evils so that the fester
may do Its corrupting work the
quicker.

A rousing big masi meeting of cit-
izens was held Monday at the court

BALE NEW COTTON
Snyder's first bal of 1920 cotton
came In Monday September 13. It
was raised anil marketed by J. S.
Lovelady of Polar. The cotton wnt
ginned here Monday by the Fanner '
Union Gin company weighed 46
pounds ami was bought by the Black-
artl Hardware Co. for 35 rents a
pound mounting to $1 1. 00.
A premium of $."2.00 was made up
for Mr. Lovelady nnd lie was pail
a total of $213. nn.
Mr. Lovelady !'ke everybody else
hadn't much to say when asked
nboiit his cotton crop. The worms
are there but the main trouble Is th--plant
has few bolls on It. This may
he caused by pests but the general
opinion Is that wet weather has pre-
vented fruitage.

Just about as hard a rain as ever
