SENSIBLE ADVICE
Harvie Jordan president of the
Southern Cotton Association says
This is a year when the farmers of
the south should fully show their loy-
alty to themselves their families
and their country by materially in-
creasing the acreage of food supply
crops on every farm and thereby
holding the production of cotton with-
in the limits of legitimate and neces-
sary consumption Let every farmer
pledge himself to this policy and carry
into practical operation the advice of
the Southern Cotton Association The
association appeals to every farmer to
cut his cotton acreage 25 per cenL be-
low the acreage planted in 1904 and
to increase his food supply crops pro-
portionately It this policy is ad-
hered to profitable prices for cotton
can be maintained and their Independ-
ence assured
It is to be hoped the farmers of the
south will heed the above sensible ad-
vice and show to the speculators and
tricksters In the money editors of the
east that they can withstand a temp-
tation that has for Its ultimate end
the wrecking of prices and putting
cotton down to a pauper price again
K the Southern Cotton Growers As-
sociation can control the acreage of
colon for two years mora It will have
succeeded In demonstrating to the
farmers that their salvation Is In close
union and organized efforts In growing
and marketing the cotton crop A
bumper crop this year would mean
the tearing down of all the good work
so far accomplished by tho Associa-
tion Dont take the bait
Whatever
town
Good
county
happens stay by your
reports come from over the
This is the kind or weather In
which to gel plans and specifications
on the jiccds of your sidewalk
The Herald still insists that this
city and county need nothing so much
as new agriculturists to make our
lands produce
Wherever It has been tried the
split log has been declared a wondor
ful road worker
We all abuse the trusts and then
buy their products in preference to
the homemade article That shows
that we hate them llercely
If the state road is built into Pal-
estine and gives the city a connection

Graft as the term is employed with
reference to public ofllcials does not
mean that an olHcial is a thief But
as we understand It any waste of
public funds through carelessness or
incapacity to handle the public treas-
ury in the purchasing of public util-
ities is graft A man does not have to
be literally crooked to be a grafter
Behold a picture Senator Depew
is reported to he In hiding from the
law in a sense a fugitive from jus-
tice He does not relish the thought
of going before a board of Inquiry and
telling the truth A United States
senator chosen by the people to make
laws for the protection of person and
property running from the law That
is a picture to make people think
Judge Alton B Parker who made
so poor a run for the Democrats in
the last presidential election has
come to life and in a recent address
predicts that the Democrats will
elect the next president as well as the
senate and congress We quite agree
with him if the party will show wis-
dom enough to nominate a man who
stands for Democracy in Its broad
sense Say a man like Bryan
The anarchy of the rich Is a new
and interesting study in this country
It develops that the rich of the coun-
try have been so accustomed to over-
riding the law and in many cases di-
recting the application of the law
that they have come to believe liter-
ally that the law is created and main
tained against the poor entirely
They have wielded such power here-
tofore that it is beyond their ability
to reason or understand that the law
can reach them It is time their mis-
take was being corrected and if we
had a few more oUlcers with hack
bone this would come to pass in short
order

It apprrs from the record that Wm
McC > ri Mnrbttn Fain form
jerly McCormic Isabell Hudson form-
erly McCormic and Comas R McCor
mic purporting to be the only heirs
of Wm II McCormic gave a power
of attorney to Nathaniel McCormic
whicli is recorded in Vol A page 192
ot the deed records of Anderson coun-
ty to sell fractional lots 3 and 4 lying
immediately north of lots 1 2 3 and
4 in block 2 of the original plat of the
town of Palestine being the same
land claimed by plaintiff
Henrietta C Fain and Isabell Hud-
son were mnrried women and neither
the husband ot said Henrietta C
Fain nor or Isabeu Hudson signed
nor acknowledged such power or at-
torney which renders it a nullity in
so far as the interests of said Hen
rietta C Fain and Isabell Hudson are
concerned
The Judge of the Circuit Court of
Henrico county Va in taking the ac-
knowledgement of Comas B McCormic
to the above power or attorney failed
to state that Comas B McCormic was
known to him and failed to affix the
Impress of his official seal to such
certificate of acknowledgement and
failed to state that such court was a
court of record which renders such
acknowledgement defective
Nathaniel McCormic by virtue oi
the foregoing power of attorney by
deed dated February 1st 1859 re-
corded in Vol J page 220 of the
deed records or Anderson county
Texas undertook to convoy the In
terests or Henrietta C Fain and Isa
bell Hudson in the land described in
said power ol attorney to Wm Mc
Cormic being tiie same land claimed
by plalntlfT but by reason of such
power or attorney being void as to
Henrietta C Fain and Isabell Hud-
son their title to the above described
laud did not pass by such conveyance
as did that of Comas B McCormic
and that such outstanding claim of
Henrietta C Fain and Isabell Hudson
casts a cloud upon plaintiffs title
Wm McCormic by deed dated
August 18th 1X71 recorded in Vol O
page 397 or the deed records of An-
derson county Texas conveyed to
Nathaniel McCormic fractional lots
No 3 and I lying immediatelv north
of lots 1 2 3 and I In block No 2 In
Palestine being the same land
claimed by plaintiff
This deed was witnessed by N M
Fain ami isabell Hudson and was at-
tempted tii lie proved for record but
instead or being proven as required
by law the notary took the acknowl-
edgement of the witness N M Fain
and it is through ami under this deed
that plaintiff claims title to the land
III controversy and such defective
certificate renders the registration of
such deed impro iier and the apparent
claim of Win McCormic casis a cloud
upon plaintiff s title
Nathaniel McCormic by deed dated
October 4th 1871 recorded in Vol O
page 397 of the deed records of An-
derson county Texas conveyed to B
W Husty fractional lots north or lots

certificate The Stale ot Texas
County or Anderson ami signed It

lic precinct No 4 Cherokee county
Texas and further failed to state
that Nnthtaniel McCormic was known
to him all of which renders the cer-
tificate of acknowledgement defective
amllt is through and under this deed
that plaintiff claims title to the land
in controversy ami that such defec-
tive acknowledgement renders the
registration or such deed improper
and that such apimrent claim or Na

tills judgment order of sale and sher-
iff s deed mat plaintiff deraigns title
to the land In controversy
n order of sale was Issued by vir-
tue of the above Judgment to sed the
above described land which descrip
tion Is insufficient and said land was
sold to James S Wallace but the sher-
iff in making deed of conveyance to

in Vol P page C5S of the deed records
of Anderson county Texas conveyed
the interest of Frank Passons in the
above described land instead or the
interest ot Frank Parsons against
whom the judgment was rendered
and the order ot sale issued and that

uary 1st 1874 recorded in Voi Q

Said notes have long since been
paid off and discharged but there is
nothing ot record to show that the
lien reserved in said deed has been
released
In certirying to the acknowledge-
ment or James S Wallace to the tore
going deed the notary railed to affix
the Impress of his official seal which
renders such certificate defective and
the registration is Improper and it is
through and under this deed that
plaintiff claims title to the land in
controversy and that the absence of
a release of the vendors Hen and im
j proper registration or such deed said
las S Wallace has an apparent claim
upon the land in controversy which
casts a cloud upon plaintiffs title
