That's Christian Science treatment.
And suits me to a l."
Whenever I feel mopin'.
An’ trouble’s after me,
I tell myself I'm happy
As a bird up in a, tree.
Tou ain't at all down-hearted,
You’re glad as you can be.
You're gladder than a mockin' bird
A settip* in a tree.
When the air is full o’ perfume
And winds are blowin’ free.

Trinity County Star: On the eve of any new year
the prospects for a prosperous year were never
better for our town and county. ' The new year
will bring several new buginess firms to our county,
who come with the intention of staying and helping
us to build the town and county. They are sub-
stantial men and the Star will be glad to have
them locate in Groveton.
Cisco Round-Up: "Jlast to kill time" is an ex-
pression we very often hear. It is a very foolish
expression and should not be used, because time
is too valuable to be killed. We sometimes forget
how valuable time is until we are pressed for it.
There is a time coming in the lives of all when
they would give all they have for just a little time.
We refer to the hour of death. When a person
realises that his time is limited and that he must
crons over the waters of death, time becomes the
most valuable thing in the world, and he will no
doubt regret that he ever tried to kill it. Do not

Grapeland Messenger: A new cotton-picking ma-
chine has been invented and it is claimed by the
inventor that it will solve the labor question during
the picking season. We have our doubts about the
machine being a success, but even if it should be.
we are very doubtful about its being a help to the
cotton farmer. Should it prove a success it will
have a tendency to Increase the acreage and de:
crease the price. If the farmers could be induced
to do ere ess the acreage. Improve the staple and
gather it free from trash it would be far more
profitable to the real cotton raised than the in-
vention of machines for the making and gathering
of the product. Let us think and act along this line.

Gilmer Mirror: Texas and its neighboring gulf
states had ns well profit by their opportunities now
as later. Encouraging developments are coming
forth daily. State capital is working our oil field,
complications as to the race problem have van-
ishe and already a sentiment is started to center
commercial interests in cities nearer home. It is a
favorable time for the gulf states to act with seit-
it seems that even heroism confidence and weave around themselves the web
of home consumption and manufactures. The
eastern capitalists and jobbers are strongly en-
trenched. but can be made to feel the force of com-
petition to the point of seeking this field. National
legislation will be conservative and considerate.
Press this point all down the line.
Texas Farmer: A. P Brown, M. D., of Fort
Worth. In the hope to help some unfortunate, gives
to the press the statement that pure vinegar is a
prompt and efficient antidote or preventive of the
usual effects of carbolic acid, a deadly but splendid
drug. If the finger, hand or foot has been car-
housed, dip either in vinegar or hold It In the
vinegar from five to ten minute and repeat if not
relieved: then dress wound with vaseline. If on
body, saturate surgeon’s cotton or any soft cloth
with the vinegar and renew every ten minutes for
three or four applications. If the carbolic acid
has been taken in the mouth and swallowed, hold
mouth full of vinegar for a few minutes; if swal-
lowed. drink freely of the vinegar. Vomit patient

attempt to make both ends meet.
- The salaries ’of the governor and all subordi-
Date officials of the state government and those
of the judges should be substantially, increased
not only in behalf of the hard-run officials but 1b
the interest of the public service itself.
The lawyers themselves are largely to blame
that inadequate salaries are paid. Generally about
half of the membership of the legislature are law-
yers, and if they are united for decent salaries,
surely there would be no trouble in enacting ‛Se
necessary legislation. It is inconceivable that the
agriculturists and others who sit in the body would
- oppose an expenditure which would inure chiefly
to the good of the masses.
Of course there are a number of small fry poli-
tilans who will say tha* if the present salaries
are not sufficient for those who hold the offices,
there are plenty who would be glad to get the
jobs. That is very true* but the people owe it to
themselves to adequately compensate their public
officials regardless of the fact that some other
would, be willing to do the work cheaper.
It is to be hoped the legislature will perform
in this connection what is nothing less than a plain
duty. The Record believes the great majority of
the taxpayers of Texas are quite willing that this
thing of starving public officials to death, so to
speak, should terminate.

OFFICIAL SALARIES IN TEXAS.
The resolution adopted recently by the bar of
—Houston urging the legislature to adequately in-
crease the compensation of the district judge, and
attorneys of Texas is worthy of the most thoughtful
consideration by the law-making body. It is an
' outrage that public servants o' the accomplish-
ments add character requisite to an efficient, judi-
ciary should be so miserably paid. The pay is so
inadequate that it ig‛a wonder we have a judiciary
at all that is competent to properly discharge the
functions oto important a branch of our govern-
ment
Manifestly, good lawyers and men of high char-
otter sre needed on the bench, but good lawyers
of character can in most cases secure employment
at much higher compensation than the state al-
lows. A Judge with a family and no independent
means is hardly able to sustain the dignity of his
office and meet the demands upon him on such a
pittance. .
The Record goes further than the resolution of
the Bar association of Houston. It has advocated
for some time not only an increase of the judicial
salaries but the salaries of the state officials, as
well. Since the present salaries were fixed condi-
. tions have changed throughout the country. Cost
of living is much higher and all expenses which men
neoessttles of trade require that there
should be banks and commission
houses. And those same necessities
requfre that they who engage in tha
bustnem should be the very best and
most reliable and most trustworthy
men of the world of trade.
Let those, then, who have a sur-
plus of cotton go to those who have
* surplus of money or credit (the
bankers and merchants) and advise
with them, plan with them, co-oper-
ate with them. Give them your con-
tideuse. And if you want their money
turn over your cotton to them. It
Is nothing but fair for you to do
thia Don't expect them to thrust
money in your hand* and tell you to
hold both ends of the string, to keep
the cotton and the money both. That
is not business and they will never
do it But if you want their money,
make them safe by letting them hold
your cotton. Do this- not only indi-
vidually but colleccivety. and each
eounty not only in Texas but in the
whole cotton -raising country will soon
find that there are moneyed men and
institutions enough to carry over the
present surplus were it twice as great
as it is.
Then, when the surplus is provided
for so that you will not have to sell
it, let the farmers meet together as
sensible, thinking men should do in
Umss of stress and emergency, and
agree upon a prorata reduction of the
next crop sufficient to make the crop-

THE MENACE TO SOUTHERN NEGROES.
In a recent address at Bismarck. Kan., President
w. H. Council of the negro college at Normal, Ala.,
said:
I do not fear southern oppression half as much
as I do the invasion of white northern labor, which
comes with its social prejudice, which comes often
pleading its color as its only mark of superiority.
The color line was never carried upon brick walls,
to the carpenter’s bench. In all the other industries
of the South until northern white labor carried it
there.
The colored men of the North make a great
mistake in abusing the South. Let the South alone
and look to your own neglected opportunities and
correct your own wrongs. You are driven from
nearly every decent wage-earning position, whipped
from the hacks and the drays, shop doors shut in
your faces, labor unions united against you and
the friendship and sympathy of hitherto white
friends slippinfl away from you. ui u
I appeal to the white men of the North to think
more. kindly of both black men and white men
of the South. Every honest negro heart is loyal
and true to the South.
We need and want the sympathy of every sec-
tion of our country, but there is a kind of un-
friendly meddling which invariably increases fric-
tion and harms the negro. We have strong men of
both races in the South who are capable and have
the righteous inclination to fairly adjust all prob-
lems growing out of our new relations.
It would be a fortunate thing for the southern
negroes if the people of the North who are really
desirous of helpinfl them should listen to the words
of men like Council instead of the noisy negro
agitators of the North who know little or nothins
of the environment of the people of their race in
the South.
The great problem which faces the negroes of the
South is Industrial, not political. Negro leaders
like Washinflton, Council, Blackshear, Rayner and
others who are earnestly striving for the substan-
tial advancement of their race, recognize this and
are endeavoring to impress the fact upon the minds
of the n eflroes themselves.
In the South the white, people are giving the
negroes every encourage mnt to work and to be-
come industrially and politically-independent. A
negro who learns how to do something and to do
it well has every opportunity in the South if he is
straightforward and industrious. AB
If there is a menace to the well-being of the
negro in the South, it is because of a constantly
growing number who are idle and shiftless. The
work in the South cannot be ueglected, and the
sixty day bills;
। and $4. 87. Com-
14%. Bar silver,
upon the face of-the earth, for, as Councl says,
there is little opportunity for the negro in the
North because of the prevalence there of a race
prejudice which southern people have never enter-
tained.
Every right-thinking southern man desires the
negro to become an industrious and upright citi-
zen, wants him to become a home-owner and a
participant- in southern progress and prosperity.
There is rarely any disposition manifest to deprive
him of the opportunity to make a living if he is
willing to work, and there is an abundance of
work for every negro who wants to make some-
thing of himself.
These are facts which political agitators never
consider. These facts should be impressed upon
the minds of the negro’s northern friends. If
the philanthropists desire to give money for the
uplifting of the southern negro, let them establish
training schools so as"to forward the movement
to make the negro industrially competent and in-

To the Editor of The Record:
Kentucky Town, Texas, Jan. 1.—As:
there is said to be safety in a multi-
tude of counsel, and being a planter
of cotton on no very small scle, I
have concluded to express my views
as to the duty of raisers of cotton in
the present emergency.
It seems to me that common sense
reveals to all of us that there are but
two ways open by which we can es-
cape present and future loss on our
cotton. Let us withdraw every sur-
plus bale of cotton from the market,
and then let us reduce the acreage
of the next crop to such an extent
that spinners will have to pay a rea-
sonable price both for what we make
and what we hold over.
To accomplish both these ends, con-
fidence and co-oporation are neces-
sary, and they are all that is needed.
There never was a greater fallacy
than the belief of the average cotton
producer that if he gets into the
hands of the banker or commission
merchant he is sure to be skinned.
The belief is born of ignorance and
nurtured by the suspicion and lack
of confidence in other people which
is a part of the nature of so many
men.
Men do not become bankers and
merchants because those occupations
offer increased opportunities to
swindle and steal, but because the

so small that you wm ba amsured o*
a fair price not only for what yon
make but for what you hold over.
No business proposition could be
easier of accomplishment than thia W
the farmers will oaly make rational
use of the brains God has given them;
lay aside their silly fear of being bit
by bankers and merchants and bury
tot- a little while their insane jealousy
of each other.
Let them commence now and hold
meetings at the country stores,
ehurches, Villases and county sites.
Let each neighborhood agree on the
rate of reduction of acreage. Ap-
point leaders to see that the agree:
ment is carried out. Don't attempt
the contemptible little “Smart Aleck"
trick of advising others to plant
small crops and inereasing your own
acreage. Take care of what cotton
you have. No ide*, could be more
insane than that of burning cotton
already made that you may be encour-
aged to make more. Be honest,
hopeful and helpful to each other
and the present low price of cotton,
instead of being a misfortune, will
prove an inestimable blessing by prov-
ing to you that by a system of eonfl-
dence and co-operation the cotton
raiser, Instead of being forever at
the mercy of epeculators, will always
be master of the situation and to a
large extent arbiter of the price of
cotton. JOE B- ROBERTS,
, Cotton Planter.

Paris, Texns, Jan. 3. (Special. —
ealonel E. L Dohoney received a tele-
gram yesterday announcing the death
at Fort Worth 6r Captain Sam Evans.
Colonel Dohoney and Captain Evans
served together in the Texas senate
more than thirty years ago. and were
warm personal friends. speaking, to
a Record correspondent Colonel Do-
honey said: ..
"Captain Evans was a remarkabte
man in many ways, and took a promi-
nent part in reconstructing Texas. Hi
and I made it possible for Fort w orfh
to become a city. In 1871, when th*
Texas and Pacine railroad subsidy bill
was pending in the state senate it
provided for subsidizing both lnes
of the road far out into western Texas,
to a junction at Phantom Hill in
Jones county. Evans offered an
amendment to make the junction at
Fort Worth, and I presented an amend-
ment forming the Transcontinental
branch to run through the towns on
the old Memphis, Epaso and Pacific,
so as to save them from another sub-
sidy. We stood together for both
amendments, and the bill was hung
up for a month, because it could .not
pass without our votes. .Finally, both
amehdments were adopted. The towns
on the Transcontinental were saved
from blackmail in the way of sub-
sidles: while Fort Worth, at that time
a frontier town of less than 500 peo-
ple. at once loomed up as a coming
city, and hasbecome the greatest rail*
road center in the state"
IMMIGEANrS AT CLABENDON,
They Are Arrivirg in That Section in
Considerable Humbers.
Clarendon, Texas, Jan. 8.— (Speclal.)
The number of immigrants arriving in
Clarendon at the present time is sur-
prising for this season of the year. It
was thought that when cold weather set
in, the influx of settlers would be at an
end. but contrary to ell expectations
they continue to come, it appears in
greater numbers than ever before,
very train brings in several prospect-
ors. and very few leave the eounty
without purchasing a home. As a resuit
Donley county is fast settling up with
as desirable citixenship as any people
could wish.
Choice land that sold five years ago
for $5 per acre is Tbw bringing $15
easily, and at that price the new corners
consider that they are buying at a
bargain.
Five successive years of bumper, erppfi.......
of all kinds have caused this portion or
Texas to ris • ..wionderfully in the esti-
mation of those who are fntrested . in
agricultural lands, and it appears to
be only a question of time untihland
will advance to such a price, that the
big ranches will be compelled to turn
loose their holdings, as their property
will be too valuable for razing
purposes._________7
GnEWSOME FIND AT PADUCAH.
Thonght te be Remains of Man Who
Disnppeared Two Years Ago.
Paducah. Texas, Jan. 3.— (Special.)—-
The remains of what is supposed to be
Gustave Spilker who disappeared from
here about two years ago have been
disebverod and unearthed. Fragments
of clothes, a shoe, watch, $2.69 in
money in a purse, together with other
articles, and a collar button were
found. A portion of these articles
was identified as belonging to or in
possession of the missing man.
Mr. Spilker disappeared from here
in February, 1893. The fact that his
whereabouts could by no means be as-
certained, created considerable specu-
lation. but soon died out, as many
thought he had left on account of fin-
ancial matters, while others thought
his brain was affected and that he had
wandered off in a semi-conscious state.
The bones, skull and clothing, to-
gether with the other artiles are be-
ing held by the officers awaiting
further development before an inquest
is held. _______ _ L_______

The celebrated Sam Cole murder case
on a charge of venue from Coleman
county, was called in the district-court

erable testimony overruled thej motion
