The ontloalt is more encouraging
for better prices for the remainder
of the oottou crop.
. (Jen. John B Gordon is lectur-
ing iu Texas on “The Last Days
of the Confrdetaey.”
Thu Doera are still boldin'? oat
in their brave bat unequal tight
noaintt the British.
McKinley prosperity keepa com-
ing iu A big New Ymk lirm hit
their creditors last week to the
tune of six million dollars.
Two San Antonio merchants, A.
B Frank and Goldfrauk A (>o. hit
the insurance companies a few
days ago with a *250,000 fire.
The .public school iu our neigh-
b r town Groeebeok was suspend-
ed last Monday on ace )unt of the
disc >very of well developed cases
of small pox iu the town.
A bnge convention or “oonfer.J
etics" ia billed to be held io Fort
Worth the 30th of this mouth,
ostensibly for the purpose of aid-
ing the Galveston deep, water proj-
ect. More properly, it is a shrewd-
ly planned scheme to work the
uoxt Legislature iu the interest of
a lot of speculators, whose aim is
to piunder tho State treasury to
th» tune of several million dollats.
If the flaming headlines of the
Dallas News’ telegrams are to be
relied on, the entire membership
of vtbe next Legislature are a unit
for giving Galveston capitalists all
they ask for to build a "sea-wall’’
arouud tbe city. In our opiuion,
the railroad interests centering at
Galveston are behind- the move-
ment, and are trying to mold sen-
timent by a big hurrah “storm"
convention at Fort Worth. They
raised their former rates last year
and this year 33J per cent to the
State Fair, hut to boom this “sea
wall" convention they make a rate
of only 2 cents a milo to Fort
Worth The preservation of Gal-
vestnu and the maintenance of a
saaport there, would benefit New
Mexico, Colorado, Kansas and
other States proportionately with
Texas. Clearly it stands to rea-
son, then, the “sea wall” should be
built by the federal government
and uot by the people of Texas.
Four more years of McKinley-
ism uioaus four more years of ex-
pansion, that tariff-protseted corn-
mere1 may follow the flag whether
tbe c institution.does or not.
All of financial England rejoiced
greatly wheu they heard of Mc-
Kinley’s re-election The quiet
Hftcrst alliance, believed to be on
betwees the two counties, may be
a very open one before 1 GO4
According to telegams from
Manila, the war in the Philip-
pines does uot look anything like
it is half over, kt will no doubt
go on just ne long as the trusts,
that have the army supply con-
trasts wish to sec it prolonged.
Wild ducks are said to be de-
stroying the rice fields near
Boaatuont, Toxas. They fly into
the fields by the thousands in tbe
•vening and tear down the shocks
of rice. Twenty acre fields it is
said, have been nearly destroyed
by them in one night.
The Cumberland Presbyterian
Sysed in session at Sherman last
wsek voted to remove Trinity Uni-
versity from Tebnaoeua in Lime-
stone county, its future location to
be yet selooted. Fort Worth and
Sherman seem to be the two larg
est cities trying to get it.
The irrigation amendment sub-
mitted to the people of Texas at
the resent election was buried un-
der a tremendous majority. The
papers did not discuss it any be-
forehand; the people did not un-
derstand it, and therefore did as it
is always safe to do when in doubt,
they voted “no.”
Death of Rev. Dr. H. V. Plnlpa
A few men claim that they do
not care about reading in tbe pa-
pers tbe little items about who ia
visitiog, who is coming, and who is
going, etc., they want just simply
good substantial, important, bosi-
ness-iike ubws. Such a man should
remember thst there is bis wife
tbe better half—who will want to
know these things and on her ac-
connt he should not object to them
liter. II. V. Philpot, D. D., for a
great many years a leading member
of the Texas Conference, died at
the home of hie son at College Sta-
tion, near Bryan, tbe 9th instant
No man has been better known in
Texas Methodism than Dr. Pbil-
pott. He entered the active work
several decades ago, and during all
of these years he has filled all of
the promineut positions in his
conference as preacher in charge,
presiding elder and delegate to the
(General Conference. No man ever
doubted his courage or fidelity.
Under all circumstances he was
true to his convictions. Such was
bis decision of character and tenac-
ity of purpose that be was often
forced to take issue with that
necessarily arise iu the progress of
Church work, but he was always
respectful to his opponents and
contended for principle instead of
personal ascendency. In all of bis
instincts and bearing he was a gen-
tleman of the old school. Hie pass-
ing away removes a landmark, and
his nabtc will remain a household
wqrd among thousands of people
throughout bis conference, partic-
ularly, and throughout the Stat e
generally. He leaves the -savor of
a good name, and he being dead
yet speaketh. Peace be to bis
memory and rest to his redeemed
spirit! —Texas Christian .Ad vocate.
Tie daoeaaed mentioned above
was well know* to many of the
older residents of our oouuty He
was the youngest of three brothers,
who moved from Madison county,
Alabama, to Texas about 1855,
settling first in Freestone county.
Tbu eldest brother Col. Bon A.
Pbilpott, died several years ago in
this county, and the other, Mr. Jos.
P. Pbilpott, died a few years before
near Mexia, in Limestone. Two
sisters of this well known family
prominent in Alabama and Texas,
yet survive; they are Mrs. N. M.
Davies, of Fairfield, aged about 84,
and Mrs. Thomaaaon, of Dew, sev-
eral years younger. Thus are the
old honored land marks of Texas
passing away.
Brighter Prospect for Cotton.
I flpeoial telegram to Houston Post. J
New York, Nov. 19.—Tbe cot.
ton market made a big advance
today, despite tbe efforts of tbe
bears to cause a break. Spin
uers are nervous ou account of the
raw cqttou situation and .planters
in the South are -refusing to sell
their holdings uuless satiafnotoy
prices are offered. There was large
outside speculation today, and
many traders believe prices wjjl
be well mantained regardless of all
efforts to force a decline.
One number of tbe Now York
oottou exchange who hae always
stood by the South iu its fight for
higher oottou values is Mr. Joe
Chew, formerly a resident of Hous-
ton. Mr, Chow was on the aids of
the farmer last season when the
South so successfully resisted all
efforts qu the part of the spinner
to buy cottou at low prices, and be
baa been coneistently bullish this
season. He predicted higher vAluee
for the Btapla a mouth ago, and
whsn asked his opinion of tbe mar-
ket today by The Post correspond-
ent, made the following significant
statement:
“If the farmer will market his
cotton from now on leisurely he
will get a very high price for the
bulk now unsold. The spinner is
comparatively bare of stocks and
must have it. This crop is a moder-
ate one aud the requirements of
trade large.”
Private advjoea were received
here today to the effect that Mr.
Henry Neill of New Orleans had
cabled his London firm very bull-
ish advices, aud that a strong cir-
cular regarding the situation would
be issued tomorrow or next day.

Tbe RsootfSfc* does not like to
make excuses, but sometimes they
are necessary. The paper was de-
layed last week by tbe sodden ill-
ness of one of our printers on the
day the paper has to go to press.
Borne urgent job printing in this
offioe, that had to be done and some
changes and enlargement of adver-
tisements, necessary to be madg,
caused tbe delay again this week.
We hope to oome out regularly on

‘I have used Ohamberlain’s
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy and find it to be a great
medicine," says Mr. E. 8. Phipps
of Poteau, Ark. “It cured me of
bloody flux, I cannot speak too
highly of it.” This remedy always
wins the good opiniou, if not praise
of those who use it. The quick
cures which it effects even iu the
most severe cases make it a favor-
ite everywhere. For sale by J. P.

The populists in our neighbor
county, Limestone, in the recent
election, polled only 238 votes for
tbeir candidate for Governor, and
aboot tbe same for Barker for Pres-
ident. Like tbe great bulk of their
former party in Freestone they
prefered to vote for Bryan and
Sayers. And it baa been about the
aame way all over Texaa; the total
vote for McMinn for Governor will
l be anything like that cast for
7 *- i candidate.
