Let the Fakirs Alone.
The following is taken from the
Paris Advocote and gives a sam-
ple of the treatment that people
who patronize street medicine
vendors may expect: “Several
weeks ago a man bought some
medicine from a fakir on the
street for his sick child, under a
guarantee that it would cure the
child in sixty days. The medi-
cine was taken according to di-
rections for thirty days when the
child died. The father of_ the
child then went to the medicine
man and asked that the medicine
man refund the money, but the
medicine man refused on the
grounds that the man had failed
co comply with the agreement
to give the medicine for sixty
days as he had directed.
Money to Loan.
We have plenty cf money to
loan at 8 per cent. Time to
suit the borrower.

Co.

Only ten days until the elec-

vils and teach the roosters to

A Lamar county man claims
that he has gathered a bale and
a half of cotton from one acre of
land and will pick fully two bales
more.
Grover Cleveland denies that
he ever said anything indicating
that he would vote for McKinley.
He does not say for whom he will
vote and really nobody seems to
care. ______
To-day is circus day in Bon-
ham and many denizens of that
sleepy village will gaze with won-
der at the elephant and declare
they have found an “injun-rub-
ber horse with two tails.”
Rev. Sam P. Jones, the famous
evangelist, is broken down in
health, having been compelled
to cancel all his dates for lec-
tures in South Carolina and
Mississippi. His physician has
forbidden him to indulge in
public speaking for some time.
A man 70 years old made ap-
plication at Waxahachie Wed-
nesday for license to marry a
little girl only 13 years old. The
application was very properly
refused, but the clerk might have
gone further and given the old
man a liberal coat of tar and
feathers.__
Paris papers have been claim-
ing a population of 15,000, but
the census enumerators found
only 9,354. These same papers
are claiming that Paris has re-
ceived 21,000 bales of cotton
this year. A correct count
would doubtless show a decrease
as great as that shown by thQ
census returns.
The great problem with the
farmers of Southern and South
Central Texas is the destruction
of the boll weevil. This pest is a
native of Mexico and invaded
Texas only a few years ago,
gradually migrating northward.
Recent figures gathered in
Washington county show that
the cotton crop will not average
more thAn one bale to nineteen
acres on account of the ravages
of the weevil, and the farmers
say it is useless to plant cotton
another year unless some way of
destroying the pests is discover-
ed. The weevil are said to be
coming northward in droves and
it is feared tbey will soon over-
run the entire cotton-growing
district.
At the rate the Kentucky
courts are convicting and mak-
ing fugitives out of the Republi-
cans the Democrats ought to be
able to carry that state without
trouble.
Last year two Italian railway
lines passing through swampy
regions supplied all their station
houses with mosquito nets. In
consequence there has been such
a diminution in the number of
cases of malaria that other lines
in Italy and in Sicily are about
to adopt the same measures.
The census returns show that
our neighbor city, Paris, has a
population of 9,350, an increase
of 1096 since 1890. Like a num-
ber of other towns and cities,
Paris is claiming that the census
was not properly taken. The pa-
pers are red-hot under the collar
and declare that the census has
shortpotted Paris out of 4,000
population.
The fellow who said, “figures
don't lie,” had no reference to
the figures furnished by the Re-
publican and Democratic cam-
paign committees.
Richmond P. Hobson declares
that Admiral Sampson is dying
of a broken heart because of the
unkind criticisms of the people
regarding the Sampson-Schley
controversy. The world has but
little patience with the man who
will allow criticism to break his
heart. Mr. Sampson tried very
hard to belittle Admiral Schley
and bring that gallant seaman
into contempt with the people
whom he served, but the at-
tempt was a failure and proved a
veritable boomerang. To-day
Admiral Schley is the idol of
his countrymen, notwitstanding
the calumnies heaped upon him
by jealous officers, while Samp-
son is reported dying by degrees
because his action provoked se-
vere criticism.
The City Council of Paris has
passed an ordinance prohibiting
all fakirs, patent medicine ven-
dors, etc., from transacting bus-
iness on the square or streets.
The move is a good one and
Honey Grove would make no
mistake in following suit. This
class of vendors earning a living
by deceiving people and should
not be encouraged in the least by
the city government.
One of the sad features of this
good and prosperous year is the
disposition of the people, in their
exhuberance, to run to intem-
perate extremes in the use of
their money. There will be very,
very many poor fellows go
through this good year, and
come out just as poor as they
started in—indeed, very much
poorer. They will have nothing
to show for this year’s hard work
except the humiliating remem-
brance of a few riotous drunks,
and the stinging consciousness
that they had made donkies of
themselves.—Midlothian Argus.
A million dollars is, ev en now
a great deal of money for one
man to own. It has often been
said that it is more than one man
can earn. But, in comparison
with the vastly greater sums
that are possessed by many
multimillionaires, it no longer
appears the colossal fortune
which it once did. There is talk,
now of the advent of the billion-
aire. The annual income of
John D. Rockefeller, the Stand-
ard Oil magnate, is estimated at
seventy million dollars—a sum
greater than Jay Gould, the
“wizard of Wall street,” made in
forty years. Estimating the
fortune of Mr. Rockefeller by his
revenue, he is already a billion-
aire. It is, of course, easy to
exaggerate the possessions of a
man as rich as Rockefeller, but
his income is known to be well
nigh fabulous, and the concen-
tration of capital in the hands of
men of his class has been so
tremendous within recent years
that the billionaire does not sug-
gest himself to the public as an
impossibility.
Concerning election indications
it must be admitted that the de-
monstrations and enthusiasm
favor Bryan. He has been re-
ceived with far greater enthusi-
asm than Roosevelt and has ad-
dressed much larger crowds than
the New York governor. The
betting, however, favors McKin-
ley, odds of 3 to 1 being offered
in his favor. While there is
really nothing in the betting ar-
gument, people naturally con-
clude that the gamblers are well
posted, and generally predict
the election of the favorite in the
betting. To show that there is
no confidence to be placed in
betting it is only necessary to
state that the odds were 3 to 1
against Harrison in 1888 and 4 to
1 against Cleveland in 1892.
THE COTTON SITUATION,
The leading English newspa-
pers take rather a doubtful view
of the cotton outlook, confessing
frankly that while there is plenty
of land up and down the earth
where cotton can be grown the
fact remains that to America the
world must look for its supplies
of the raw staple. This is true.
The United States enjoys a prac-
tical monopoly of the world’s
cotton supply, and there is no
sense in selling for less than a
fair price. There is no good
sense in selling raw cotton at all
when it can be manufactured at
home and the profit of convert-
ing the raw material into the
finished product made here. Cot-
ton must be had by the cotton-
using countries, and when we
own it we ought to be able to
hold it until a fair price was
offerered for it.
The estimates for the present
crop are not so large as to justify
any decrease in price, and no
doubt any downward tendency
may be attributed to the fact
that at this season all planters
are hurrying the cotton to mark-
et, where the demand is so easily
met as to cause less competion
among purchasers.—Commercial
Appeal.
Snake Nearly Ate Snake Eater,
At Dallas Tuesday Thomas
McAllister, known as “Esau, the
Snake Eater,” had his left arm
amputated at the shoulder by the
surgeon at the City Hospital in
order to save his life. “Esau,”
who was connected with a side
show at the Texas State Fair in
that city two weeks ago, was at
tempting to eat one of the snakes
provided for him in his profes-
sional “turn,” but the reptile, a
Texas “rattler” got the better of
the argument and came near eat-
ing him. Blood poison resulted
from the bite and made the
surgical operation necessary.

Goldbeaters, by hammering,
can reduce gold leaves so thin
that 282,000 must must be laid
upon each other to produce the
thickness of an inch. They are
so thin that, if formed into a
book, 15,000 would only occupy
the space of a single leaf of com-
mon paper.

In the “State Press” column
of the Dallas News, the following
appeared last Saturday:
The Honey Grove Signal is a staunch
Democratic paper and says:
In less than thirty days we will be
rid of Bryanism for good. Thank the
Lord in Advance.
And then the Nacogdoches Plain-
dealer, which is a staunch Populist
paper, says:
Only twenty-four days until the
election of Bryan. So many good
things are happening this year it’s
difficult to keep track of all them.
From which it will be seen that it
all depends on what your political
views are as to the color of the pic-
tures you behold when you look into
the future.
After studying three days and
nights over the matter we have
about decided to offer no com-
ment on the above for the sim-
ple reason that we can’t do the
subject justice. We do not ob-
ject to the Dallas News taking
sides with the Bonham papers
against Honey Grove, for “he
who aids Bonham aids trash,”
but he who filches from the Sig-
nal its Democracy and devotion
to the Boy Orator of the Platte is
so mean that no three words in
the latest dictionairies can begin
to describe the vile creature.
The News took our words and
gave them to a Populist which is
worse than “giving the children’s
bread to dogs,’’and then, to make
matters worse, it‘forced two sen-
tences of Populistic origin down
our throat. We’ve been sick
enough ever since to throw up
our boot heels.
“It was with the knowledge
that all the El Paso school marms
had pretty feet and ankles that
our board of school trustees
passed the short dress order,”
says the El Paso Times, which
causes the too inquisitive Hous-
ton Post to ask “how the trus-
tees found out all this prior to
the passing of the ordinance.”
The new straight front corsets
in the “Kobo” brand will please
you best; we have them for sale.

Ingenious Device.
Something entirely new in street
car conveniences is the telephone
being fitted to the cars of the
St. St. Charles Rock Road and
Western Company. The val-
ue of this innovation is obvious.
The motorman is at all times en-
abled to communicate directly
with the office, the sheds or the
wrecking crew, as occasion de-
mands; and further, passengers
will find this of convenience when
they wish to let their friends at
their destination know the exact
time at which to be ready to meet
them.
The instrument is placed in the
rear of each car, the negative
wire bsing connected permanent-
ly through the wheels to the rail
and the positive wire being fitted
with a simple device resembling
a jointed fishing pole by which
connection is secured with a pri-
vate overhead wire paralleling
the trolley.
The device is the invention of
J. D. Haussman, president of the
company. It is probably only a
question of time until some such
fitting will be a part of the regu-
lar equipment on suburban elec-
tric cars throughout the land.
Another innovation in these
cars is the complement of four
motors, which enables them to
maintain a speed of fifty miles an
hour, even when weighted down
with a load. Their seating ca-
pacity is ten greater than cars
built heretofore.—Republic.

Only a couple of weeks remain
before the great contest is set-
tled and the country will know
whether or not we are to have
four years more of McKinley or
an administration under William
Jennings Bryan. The outlook
seems encouraging, but the
claims made by the rival mana-
gers are so at variance and so
diametrically opposed to. each
other that there is no way of tel-
ling what will be the result. The
Republicans are claiming every-
thing, while the Democrats are
not slow to put in claims of
a coming land slide. As a mat-
ter of fact neither side knows.
