that Famcrt WW Rccth*9M«,M«
Mart thaa fér U't Year, Seed Crtf,
Houston, Sept. 5.—With price
for cotton seed ranging from
$19 to $19.50 per ton in the in-
terior, which mean* $21 to $12.50
laid down in Houston, coupled
with the condition of the need
themselves, in that they are so
dry that they produce on an av-
erage of two gallons less oil per
ton this year than last, the cct-
ton seed oil men are up against
it.
It is stated that every mill in
Texas is losing money, while at
the same time they are all
«crambling for all the seed they
can get. They are bidding
against each other at a lively
rate. They must have the seed
in the face of the fact that the
more seed they can get bold of
the more money they will lose.
These conditions are the re-
sult of the condition of cotton
«eed last year. The storms east
•of the Mississippi river and up
through Arkansas rendered the
•eed in those districts almost
unit for refining purposes. In
•fact, about the only prime oil
•secured last year was from
Texas seed.
This condition caused a short-
age of oil and months ago the
consumers offered a big pre-
•«¡urn for oil. The Texas oil
•mill men taking advantage of
these offers, entered into con-
tracts, the deliveries to be made
from this season's crop, and
«consequently when cotton seed
bkgan coming in all the millers
were pitte . against each other
and bidding has been lively ever
since, and the mill men do not
-see the end yet. It is stated,
however, that it is expected
there will be a let up about
Sept 15, when the crop begins
coming in at a lively rate.
Last year the prices for seed
at this time ranged from $12 to
$12 50 per ton, and produced
from thirty-five to thirty-six
«gallons of oil to the ton. Though
nbe prioe for oil this year, the
«difference, it is stated, will not
offset the difference the mills
are forced to pay for seed,
• coupled with the falling off in
{producing qualities.
The production of oil last
year in Texas was about 70,-
' 000,000 gallons, while produc-
tion this year from a crop of
3,500,000 bales, if this estimate
of the crop is not excessive,
will be about 57,750,000 gallons
of oil.
While the mill men are up
- against it, and are, according to
•tbe statements of some of them,
losing money this year, the
"farmers will receive much
more money on their short crop
this year than they received
4ast year on their heavy crop.
€*ast year the farmers received
more than $24,000,000 for their
-seed, while this year, if present
•conditions maintain throughout
the season, should the crop in
reality be 3,500,000 bales they
will receive something oyrer $33,-
250,000 for their seed.
The quality of the Texas seed
this year, stated aa oil man, so
far as the oil is concerned, ia
fine. In fact, be stated, the
seed produce a fine quality of
oil* and the only thing that
canses tbem to complain con-
csrniag the quality of the seed
ia that tbey ara so dry that
tbey produce two fallona less
oil «kan laat year' aeed, tbe oil
prancing qualitiea of which

Law Bars CommbJm Mm.
Atlanta, Ga„ Sept. 4.-—Under
a strict construction of tbe
Georgia prohibition law which
goes into effect Jan. 1, 1908, it is
held that it will be unlawful to
administer wine at communior.
This feature of tbe law is
causing protest*, and grand ju-
ries throughout the state have
adopted tbe following:
"After Jan. I. 1908, every
minister who hands sacramental
wine to his members will sub-
ject himself t3 as many indict-
ments as there are members.
"F.very deacon wbo bands tbe
sacremental wine to the mem-
bers of tbe cbsrcb will subject
himself to as many indictments
as there are members.
"We petition the General As-
sembly of Georgia to make such
amendments to tbe law as will
allow tbe Christian people of tbe
state to worship according to
tbe dictates of their own coo-
science without violating tbe
laws of tbe state."

Farmer Lett aa Arm.
Brenbam, Texas, Sept. 4.—
W. C. Lipscomb, a well known
and prominent farmer residing
at Independence, had bis left
band caught in a gin located in
Burleson county Monday and so
badly cut with the aaws that it
bad to be amputated. After tbe
incident Mr. Lipscomb got in
bia buggy and drove five mile
to Independence, where Dra.
Burford and Hairaton amputated
the left arm about four inches
below the elbow. At laat ac-
counts Mr. Lipscomb was rest-
ing aa well as could be expected
under tbe circumstances.
Mere Saloons.
Rockdale Reporter.
While it waa generally be-
lieved that tbe Baskin-McGregor
bill would bave tbe effect of re-
ducing the number of saloons
operating in tbe state, juat tbe
opposite effect has been tbe re-
ault, under tbe new law the sa-
loons will be increased about
2% per cent.
Tbe recorda of tbe state comp-
troller's department abow that
at tbe end of tbe fiscal year,
August 31st, 1906, tbe total num-
of permita iasued and in force
was 366ft, while the department
under tbe new law has already
iasued 3734 permits.
The condition is likely ac-
counted for by the number nf
counties heretofore dry tbat bave
lately gone wet, accepting the
Baskin-McGregor act as suffici-
ent regulation. Now, if the law
is not conformed to by the men
in tbe saloon business, the next
thing will be state prohibition.
