WEATHER AND CROPS.
Laredo Texas August . Disappointed
or dlacontented cotton pickers are re-
turning daitr to Laredo from the cotton
fields whither they began to make a
genera) exodus a few weeks ago. They
are promoting the Impression with their
pessimistic stones that cotton picking Is
hot what It Is cracked up to be. The
fact la that the long unbroken dry
weather Is beginning to tell upon the
eortoa crop The first yield la uearly
all picked and the slams for a second
yield are very poor. Only a very early
rain m uiia section win siugns the "ew-
er sad squares te mature. This Impras-
sIod Is upheld by the reports given la
this city by Uavejtng men who have seen
the condition of the fields over a large

Aorta Texas. August Tad ssM of

i ok September 1 Is not going to be
the big snccms that was exaeolad. This
opinion Is based upon the reports that
have reached here- from the see lis parts
of the State where moat of this land Is
Situated. It is said that the prospective
hsmesesksiu who- have been Ineestigst-
luc the situation out there for the pur-
pose of deciding as to what sections they
would seek to ourchass have nicked out
only the best sections where water Is
found. In most Instances these watered
asd improved sections belong to a raaon
prsnertr along with many other ssotlans
of state and railroad lands which have
been under lease. By tvddlug upon and

the adjoining and Ui-favorsd sect loos are

aaen away irons tna stnsr sections us

A prominent ranchman In discussing t
sale of these lands today said: "There
seems to be a gaaeral Impression that
this is the first awmwtwnii. that the
people have had to purchase thla a.au.w
acres of Lands for homes As a mat
of fact all of this land was on the mar-
set lor iwenty-nva years ran ot u
was taken off o the market when the
absolute lease line was established In Uf7
becauee It waa situated In the absotuts
district. Ths homesecker had an
opportunity to purchase ths land any
time aunug me twenty-live years or
more that it wss on the market. In fact-
many of the best sections were sold dur-
ing that tiros. There are very few choice
sections left. These are located In leased
ranches and their sale to actual settlers
will merely be the means of breaking
up the ranches and ruining the adjaesnt
sect-one. so tar aa their desirability for
further leasing Is concerned."

Article Intended at Roast for the

Criticised Washington.
CRouatoa Post Special )
Fort Worth Texas August at. Because
of ths character of editorial expression
In ths columns sf the Item a negro
paper published by J. A Taylor. R.
npeer. manager of the Speer Printing
company lifted the forms from the press
aad returned them ta the office of the
publisher.
Mr. Speer has been doing the printing
work ror the negro paper for several
years. Ha hss never felt sufficient In
teres t In the paper te read It but hla
employes nave often commented on the
editorial expresrnona. Today when the
editorial section sf the paper waa being
run off ths press ths men In the mechan
ical department became displeased st an
editorial which they read and held
conference whether to continue the work
In the absence of Mr. Speer. or whether
to atop at once. They decided that
was better ts take tha mailer up with
Mr. Speer aad they finished that run of
the paper. When Mr. Speer came In he
was shown ths paper and he aummosed
Taylor and told him to take his forms
and paper as he did not care to
narty to ths circulation of such litera
ture ss the weekly nam.
Ths editorial expression which dls-

ANOTHER NEOROS VIEW.
(Associated Press Report.)
Dallas. Texas August . At the Stste
Sunday school convention of Negro Bap
tists held la Dallas today Rev. A. Bar
. pastor of the Missionary Baptist
church arraigned Booker T. Washington
for hla recent public dining with John
Wane maker. Rev. Barber said:
"While Wsshmgtoo haa our hearty sup-
Krt In his work of education for the
uthern negm in tralnlne him to lead a
sober industrious life hs has worked un-
told harm by his recent outbreaks In the
North. He is s great negro and admired
by many whites and blacks but his
society sets csa not be considered as
other than rash. We know ths Mas of
social equality win continue to live in ths
brain of all American born citiectis It
la sue that can't be crushed out but the
time Is very inopportune for the negro
to show it. It Is breeding aa 01 that It
will take years to eradicate. I say em-
phatically that Booker T. Washington la
pursuing a course that Is very unwise"

LIABLE TO TAX
Wholesale Grocers Affected Ij the
Gross RcccipU EUL
PENALTIES ARE ACCRUING
List of Delinquents Being Pre-
pared Upon Which Suits Will
Be Instituted.
(Houston Pest Special.)
Austin. Texas August SV The fact does
not seem to be known to the whole tie
grocer of ths State that the Kennedy
gross receipt tax bill applies to s branch
of their business. The new law requires
that all wholesale dealers In petroleum
naphtha oil beaaise and an other refined
mineral oils shall pay to the State a tax
of 1 per cent on their gross receipts.
There Is probably Bet a wholesale grocer
in the State who does net sell these oils
In wholesale quantities None of them
hss paid this tax. snd under the law there
are heavy penalties nooruiag against the
dealers. A last of such delinquents will
be prepared and placed la the band of
the attorney general erne will Institute
suit on beh ilf of the Slate for ths recov-
ery of the tuies alleged ta bs dus.
it la not understood In State official cir-
cle here why ins Waters Pierce Oil com-
Ew"
naa paid no attention to the new
No hint haa been received from It
as to whether It Intends paying the tax
oa Its Texas business with ths accrued
rneiiiee tor Its dellnauency. or whether
Is preparing to resist the law. Ths
provision of the haw taxing arose recetpu
ef concerns of lu kind Is ss plala that It
la believed It would be the height of folly
to resist It In. the aourts. It Is a clearly
established fact that ths Waters Plsros
Otl company Is s selling branch of the
Standard Oil compear It Is also well
known that It doss practically all ef ths
business Is Tsxss m ths matter sf selling
refined oil. It hi ths one corn near of su
others which ths legislators who framed
aad supported the law eeelred te see
taxed on its gross receipts .
The fact that the oompany ts tsnetiag
