NEW ORLEANS, Julj 27.—1The cotton
trade thla week will be chiefly concerned
with the August condition figure#, which
will be issued Friday morning at 11
o'clock, New Orleans time These figures
will give the percentage of condition of
the crop on July 2.1
It ia Impossible yet to say what brokers
and operators are expecting, for this
month the market has been tery slow in
making up its mind what to look for. It
Is safe to say thst no one looks for any
great variation from last mouth's fig-
ures. I
A month ago, on June 25 the percentage
of condition was put ai 81.8. The fact
that a large part of the belt suffered, al-
though not seriously, from drouthy condi-
tions for a part of the month leads some
bulls to look for a alight deterioration iu
condition, although conservative people,
even among the bolls, ure not willing to
admit that the news from the belt would
lodlcato u lower condition than lust
month.
Among the bears, there arc a few who
look for considerable improvement, but
probably the more conservative element
would be satisfied with 8'.'.5. All this
only reflect* the guesswork that is going
on. In a day or two geueral expectation
may be altogether different from anythiug
that is Indicated now. Much depends upon
what the private crop reporting bureau
put out. On July 25 last year tne condi-
tion was put at 70.5, two years ago at
89 1 and throo years ago at To.5.
Weather conditions will be watched
closely, bnt they are not likely to have
their full effect Decause they will have no
Influence at all on the pending condition
figures. Kain is still needed in the West-
ern belt, but moat sections of the Eastern
belt can get along without it. t.ood ruins
In Texas and Oklahoma would lead to
heavy short selling, but at the same time
much moliture In tlie Central and Western
belts would probably enable the bulls to
obtain many boll weevil complaints.

WASHINGTON, D. C. July 27.—Inci-
dent Bbowlfig bow States ure putting
money in the pockets of the farmers by
investing iu the Improvement of public
roads, are cited lu a statement hy tho
office of public roads by the Department
of Agriculture, Jtwt issued. The paper dem-
onstrates substantially that where bad
roads prevail farmers am compelled to
mow theiii crops not when the market
irice Is famnble, but when tho roads are
: avorable. Some conditions in Missouri are
gl ven for example:
Two farmers living in separate counties
but ut. uu equal distance from the cotton
market learned by telephone that cotton
had advanced in price $1 per bale. The
farmer living on u bad ronif responded by
hauling a bale of cotton, which was all he
could get over the unimproved road, while
the other farmer was able to haul four
bales owing to favorable road conditions.
The rise in price gained a profit of $1 to
one man 'and $1 to his neighbor.
It 1h shown lu the statement that it is
common for the farmer to find that ho can-
not haul his produce to market when prices
are highest, because the roads are impass-
able. When tho roads become pasaablo the

Government Statistics Show Disease
Is Spreading Into New Territory
and Increasing Rapidly.
WASHINGTON, D. 0., July 27,-Pol
lugrii, for which physlrlMiw have fonnd no
cure, In spreading beyond the ions to
which It previously liun boon conflnnd and
Is Invading new territory, according to
officials or tho United Stales Public
Health Hervlcc, who base their belief upon
statistics on the prevalence of the dis-
ease lu Arkansas, Oklahoma nnd Texas,
from 11107 to 191a, which were made public
toduy.
Reports from these three States, bor-
dering on the area In which pellagra has
most extensively existed In tills country,
show, says Surgeon C. 11 Lavlnder, the
prevalence of llie disease "to no Incon-
siderable degree."
"This suggests rather strongly," ha
adds, "that pellagra Is Increasing In tho
area In which It was prevalent, and In-
vading new territory. Further Inquiry
is needed to determine this with any de
gree of accuracy.1
The figures Indicated an Increase In the
disease during 1012. The tolal number of
cases In Oklahoma during the six years
was 472. with a death rate |ier KKI cases of
54.HI; In Texas 2.02S cases, death rate
46.HI, aud In Arkansas U4B, death rate
41.HO. The figures for Arkausus for 1H12
were Incomplete.
Today's report, which supplemented a
previous pellngra report giving statistics
for other States, Is of peculiar Interest at
ibis time In connection with the bill of
Representative Johnson of South Carolina
for a large appropriation for the erection
of a hospital at Spartanburg. S. <"., fur
Hie sillily of pellagra. The Public Health
Service lias been urged to support the

COTULUA, Tex., July 27.—Benjamin
Heldoma, 9-year-old son of A, Hcldcma,
manager of the Holland ayi dlcato farm,
on the Nueces, was drowned yesterday
evening. Tho little fellow whs in bnthr
Ing with bis sister and got beyond Ills
depth. The family recently moved here
from Holing .
time for market litis largely passed and
produce is compelled to move in masses,
which frequently gluts tho market aud
breaks the prices.
Kxcessive fluctuations in market prices
are seldom due to overproduction. They
frequently take place iu regions where the
local production does not equal tho aunual
consumption. There are counties rich In
agricultural PMSlbllltieSi burdened with
bad roads, where tho annual Income ship-
incuts of foodstuffs exceed the outgoing
shipments in the ratio of 4 to 1. Many
such counties with improved roads could
not only become self-anpporting, but could
ship products to other markets.
A farmer in Sullivan .County, Tenn., a
few miles from Bristol, had 100 bushels of
Irish potatoes which he intended to mar-
ket during the winter of 1907-08. Owing
to bad roads he was unable to haul the
potatoes at all, and they rotted In the cel-
lar. Nevertheless, the price of potatoes at
llrlstol went as high as $1.40 per bushel In
the meantime. A Bristol merchant stated
that during the winter as many as ten
carloads of farm produce, including wheat,
potatoes and other supplies, were daily
shipped in to feed not only Bristol, but the
adjacent territory.

says:
Tho time lias come when thoso of our
members who are loyal to the principles
of the grand organization, tho Farmers'
Educational and co-operative Union, and
who have been silent while the name of

The time has come, we believe, when
the people who compose the membership

should tell the world where we stand.
The time has como, we believe, when
entangling alliances with those who seek
lo use our order for their own selfish
ends, should be severed and our noble
order should be freed from the shackles
that now hind It, hamper Its activities,
weaken our Influence, throttle Its aggres-
siveness, and cause the people to suspect

Short Talk With Men
From outhwest lexas
"The Southwest Texas crop report
which The Express Issued last week was
certainly valuable and extra copies of the
paper were eagerly sought by North Tex-
as people," said Arthur Storms, assistant
manager of the Pioneer *"lour Mills. He
has Jiist returned froui a three weeks'
visit to Mineral Wells, Fort Worth, Dal-
las and other North Texas cities.
"The people up there are elated over
the success of the bond Issue election down
here. They contend that with a good sys-
tem of streets San Antonio will make
rapid strides, and the growth of the city
will be on a far greater scale. The Com-
mercial Secretaries were having a throe
days' session at Mineral Wells, and I had
H. J. Hayes, president of the Rotary Club,
wire me the election results. You should
have heard the gratifying comments made
by a lot of the live wires and boosters In
the meeting when they heard the returns.
"The wheat crop of North TexaB Is rap-
idly belug marketed and mucb of it Is
going for export. The quality 1s excep
tionally good this season, testing SO to 6
pounds."
A great ninny Snn Antonlnns sre spend
ing tlie summer iu Corpus Ohristl and wo
are glad to have them with us," said II.
II. Franks, manager of the Nueces Hotel lu
I hat city, and who was In town several
days ago. "improved hotel facilities have
done much toward building up Corpus
Ohristl and the Texas people are taking
advantage of the opportunity to come
there and be comfortable.
"On the whole, our business thus far
this summer has eonie up to expectations,
and I hiu sure the winter Beasou will be
worth while. Corpus Christ! Is growing
steadily In all commercial Hues, and (here
Is nothing that can prevent Its expansion.
The agricultural resources In that sec
tlou are bound to make tho city great.
Joseph O. Bnehmnr, who represents
Maverick and the adjoining counties In
the Thirty-third Legislature, spent yes-
terday In San Antonio on his way to
Eaglo Pass, whero he was nallod on
business. Maverick and the other coun-
ties of his district, Mr. Boehmer shys,
are In excellent condition.
"Mexican affairs aro not proving a
great source of trouble to our citizens,"
said vMr. Boehmer. "They are going
steadily ahead and progress In the key-
note of affairs along the Rio Urande.
While the situation across the border
furnishes food for thought, we are leav-
ing tho matter up to the Federal Govern-
ment, and trust that our safety will not
be endangered "
His visit home, Mr. Boehmer declares,
is one purely of business connected with
his paper, the lOagle Pass Guide.
"Being a newnpapw' waa mi * Wtt-
sentatlve at tho saute time keeps a man
busy," declared Mr. Boehmer. "He never
knows Just when It will be demanded of
him that ho return home to straighten
out the tangles that the man left In
charge has to contend with.'
Mr. Boehmer will leave early tills
morning for Eagle Pass.
Representatives R. T. Burns and W. A.
Tarver returned to Austin last night
after a pleasant two days spent in San
Antonio. Botli of the gentlemen are from
the black land belt of central section and
ure enthusiastic In their praise of the
country around San Antonio.
Mr. Tarver Is au attorney of Corsicana

est by their fellow legislator, L>. A.
MA skill. Mr. McAsklll, who came home

' Southwest Texas cotton farmers are
now beginning to transfer fields of white
to cash lu their pockets," said J. II.
Barnes of 101 Paso yesterday. "First
bales have boen reported frurn several
towns already, while hundreds of farm-
ers have enough cotton ready for picking
to make scores ot other first bales. In
all parts of tho Stato now gins are being
put in readiness to handle the largest
cotton crop of years. The cotton situa-
tion tills vcar In Texas 1h better than in
several years, and with tho farmers en-
joying tho right kind of weather and
cotton opening fast, Indications aro the
cotton farmers will enjoy a season of
prosperity.''
"Is Gillespie County looking forward
t« the completion of the Texas railroad?
Well, 1 guess yes. President Wilson did
not look forward to March t last with
more pleasant anticipations than are lli^
citizens of my county to the arrival of
the first train," said Henry .HudBon of ■
Fredericksburg. . .ie opening of the 1
Fiederlcksburg railroad will mark a new |
epoch In th» history of the country, and i
It is expected will mean the beginning ]
of tho county's advance along material, |
educational and Industrial lines. GllleBpiu :
County has abnost everything the home-
seeker wants. Heretofore It has been
without the opportunity to display Its
wares to tho Investor. Now It will have
the opportunity, and our people will not
fail to take advantage of it In the fullest
sense. In a short time the world will
know Gillespie County; It will know that
Its soil is as fine as anything to be
found in Texas; it will know that its
natural resources are worth hundreds of
times that of other counties, and it will
know that Its people are as live and as
wideawake as any In Texas. Just watch
Gillespie County go forward now."

ing together harmoniously and doing
mere work In Ikll County than ever be
fore; that three new laws favorable to
prohibition have Just gone Into effect, and
should be given a fair nnd impartial trial;
that to put two dry and two wet pre
ducts together and vete them as local op

and not just aud fair, und should meet
with the everlasting condemnation of
every good and truo Democrat in Texas,
