SLIiKCT OF
NL * X COLLEGE
and six other Parker
went to the Farmers’
Congress via T. & P. to Fort Worth
and I. & 0. N. to College Station, the
route from Waco being all the way on
the east side and near the Brasos riv-
er. We passed through fields and
fields of cotton that looked good for
a hale to the acre. The corn though
is a total failure—only saw a patch
or two aronnd Calvert and Bryan that
would make anything. '■
All along in these great fields of
* cotton the negro gnd the mule were
busy “laying by” with a Georgia
stock and heel sweep. The thought
occurred to me that with all this fine
land, that will grow anything, and so
adapted to diversification, why should
it he butchered up by the negro.
It seems like things are not proper-
ly adjusted when we see some sections
of our country with the very best of
natural advantages being farmed by
the most nonprogresapKe and indo-
lint class, while upon the other , hand
Some of the poorest sections have the
•Worthiest and best people. But I sup-
pose there are causes for this, often
these, low lying countries have mala-
ria .and mosquitoes so bad that they
are almost intolerable for the better
class.
To say the trip was enjoyed splen-
didly by us all only mildly expresses
it The Congress was made up large-
ly of new delegates. I mean those
that had never visited it before, and
to see s body of men one thousand
strong, talking, listening, eating and
sleeping—all in earnest when at busi-
ness and all in fun when at play, so
to speak, wm quite an inspiring scene.
The first thing that impresses & visi-
tor is the beautiful campus with its
inviting Shades, lawns and flowers,
and commodious dormitories and large
dining hall. My guess there Is hun-
dreds of thousands of dollars spent
altme by the state In buildings. There
are six or eight large dormitories—
two or three of them just now being
Completed, some of them three stories
high and will accommodate about 200
pupils each. I could write a long let-
ter about these buildings and about
i the tents that are on the campus to
take care of the overflow, the past
terms. But I want to say everything
about the furniture, beds, pillows, ta-
- hies, etc. that our boys use, also about
the fare in the dining hall. In many
of the rooms were beds that from
their appearance seemed to have been
in use ever since the institution | was
established, and every where wooden
pillows. I mean cheap ticks stuffed
with coarse excelsior, and if the fare
at the table that we got and he man-
ner in which It was served was a fair
sample of what the boys get all the
time it is not what it should be.
While this may be construed as a
mild criticism, I feel that our boys
should have good furnishing in rooms
and plenty of good wholesome food to
eat, for these things go a long way
towards refining and uplifting them.
► As to the proceedings of the Con-
gress, they were very Interest^ and
instructive. Most every line of agri-
culture being represented. In the va-
rious buildings, often the same hour,
£here would be in session the organi-
sation, representing the various agri-
cultural Industries of the state. Such
..AS cotton and corn growers, horticul-
tural, nut growers, bee keepers, rural
mall carriers and others.
These different state’ organizations
would convene about 8:30 a. m„ and
be in session most of the day and gen-
erally at night all would gather at
the large assembly hall to hear some
noted speakei1 on some live subject.
The first night we had the pleasure
of hearing Dr. Cook of CheyenMe,
Wyo., on "Dry Farming,” and the next
night a Col. Cooper of Oregon gave a
lecture and steroptiean pictures on
the propagation and cultivation of the
English Walnut on the Pacific Coast,
and the last night Col. B. F. Yoakum
on co-operation or the development
of Texas. I would like to go into de-j
tail and tell some of the important
points brought out by these speakers
but it will all come out in the leading
State papers. But I will mention a
cattle to such
how their lands have advanced to
|1,590 per acre, but, for further infor
mation about the score points of a
good cow see Jim P. Owens, and Jap
Pickard can tell what the Yankee
chicken man said about the dimen-
sions of his incubator—he can tell you
exactly how many miles long It was
and, bow many thousands of eggs in
each hatch, and some of the crowd
can tell you of the antics of the train
auditor when his cigar exploded. —
These old farmers enjoy a trip like
this in more ways than ohe. The
time and few dollars that it takes to
attend this Congress every year is
well spent, for it surely broadens
ones views of things, to meet with
those in the same line of business
from all over' this great state.
Even during the idle hours there
could be seen scores of groups of
men lounging on the grass in the
shade of the buildings and trees dis-
cussing various things of interest,
while others were leisurely inspecting
the feeding and daily demonstrations
and still others looking over the or-
chard, vineyard and nursery and va-
rious experimental plots of cotton,
corn, peas, alfalfa, etc. on the grounds.
To sum it all up there were some
things that we saw that would bear
criticism, but many more to be com-
mended. Respectfully,
R. B. ALEXANDER.
CLAIMS WAS NOT EXPECTING TIC-
TIM IN STAMFORD AND KNEW
HIM ONLY BT DESCRIPTION.
Special to The Herald.
Anson, Texas, July 28.—The state
began its rebuttal in the Alexander
trial today and the chances are the
case will go to the jury tomorrow
evening.
Dr. Alexander, in telling the story
of the killing of O’Neil said he didn’t
know O’Neil or that he was going to be
In Stamford on the morning he follow-
ed him into the Stamford Inn wash
room. Entering the wash room he
heard the chauffeur, Hack Russell, ex-
claim: "My God, there Is doctor now.”
This and a description he had heard,
made him believe the man was O’Neil.
He said O’Neil made a desperate lunge
at him, and that he Alexander fired
as quick as possible. He knew he
had killed the man and was worried
until he learned from 9thers for cer-
tain that he had not killed some one
else other than O’Neil. He said he
believed O’Neil was armed.
OF THE
-FIRST SERIES OF SEASON

The Maroons lost the first aeries of
the season when they dropped two
yesterday afternoon to1 Stephenville by
scores of 21-6 and 9-2. The game
Saturday was also lost 5-3.
Saturday’s Game, e
Boone was on the mound for the lo-
cals and should have won his game,
the Maroons getting two In the first
and another In the sixth, three or
Btephenville’s scores Were due to er-
rors. The game was played thruout
in a fine drizzle which made fast

The first game Sunday waa doubtful
up to the fourth, but when the Grays
took kindly to Peelers benders, and
along with costly errors when the
ascension was over thirteen men had
crossed the pan. Peeler was taken out
and Hemphlfl went in and closed
them out In the Maroons half of
the inning they came back and put
six men across, but were never able
eo overcome the lead Stephenvllle had
which was increased to twenty-one.
Peeler went back in but did not
pitch the class of ball that he usually
pitches at any stage of the game.
Seven Inning Contest
Evans was on the mound in the
second farce and should have won his
game, but in the third when he had
two down, Brock, who was playing
right field, pulled off two costly er-
rors and others followed and before
the necessary out had been gotten sev-
en had been put across. Peeler and
F. Gordon featured with home runs
in this game while R. Gordon got one
in the game before. The score:

OPTIMISM STILL PREVAILS THO
MOROCCAN SITUATION IS SAId
TO.BE CRITICAL.
8peclat to The Herald.
Paris, France, July 28.—Great opti-
mism prevailed here today, though It
was admitted negotiations with Ger-
many regarding the Morocoan afTair,
remained difficult. Premier Asquith’s
statement yesterday relieved the ten-
sion at a moment when relief was most
needed, and discreet military prepara-
tions of the French government were
giving rise to apprehension of war.
The cavalry had been ordered to be
ready at the first signal.
Forts on the eastern frontier Jiad
been heavily provisioned by special
trains, run out of Paris at night, and
all regiments had been mustered to
their full quota.

Goes to Tarrant County.
Frank Clarke, Government Agricul-
tural agent who has been making his
home in Weatherford for the past year,
will move with his family to Fort
Worth, the first of the coming week
and will hold the same position In
Tarrant eouniy. Mr. Clarke had fou,
counties as his territory when he came
here, Parker, Tarrant, Stephens and
Palo Pinto, and has organized boys
corn clubs and demonstrated the fact
that scientific farming according to the
government Instructions was the suc-
cessful way of farming.
The Tarrant county commissioners
have made Mr. Clarke a splendid offer,
for his services for the coming year,
and while we very much regret to
lose Mr. Clarke and family from our
midst, we are glad to know he has
demonstrated the fact that the position
he holds Is of so valuable a character
thut counties vie with each other to
secure his services.
Mr. Qulcksall, who Is a government
demonstration Inspector, was here Fri-
day, and inspected the work of Mr.
Clarke and was well pleased and
promises that a competent man will
be sent to Parker county to take Mr.
Clarke’s place. ,

Oiir neighbor’s prosperity means a
great deal more to us than someone's
who lives elsewhere. We should bear
this in mind In buying our goods. We
can afford to pay our home man a
firm price for his wares, rather than
send our money %way, knowing as we
do, that every .dollar expended with
our own citizens will help In sustain-
ing our schools, churches and: public
institutions. It pays richly to pat-
ronize home industry.
J. W. Williams (Uncle John) had on
exhibition in our town last Saturday,
one of the finest Elberta peaches we
think we ever saw.- It measured nine
and one-balf inches in circumference
and weighed nine ounces. It was of
excellent flavor and does grace to our
section of the county as a fruit grow-
ing distret. Uncle John usually has
qute a lot of this variety of peach,
but the freeze last7 spring left him
only enough for his own use this year.
