TALLEY MILLS TRIBUNE EDITOR IS
TO TAKE A REST
Editor Wbl H. Carter of the Valley Mills
IHbune has laid down his quill and relin-
gabbed his job to Clyde P. Stapleton who
has been connected with the publication of
that paper for the past twelve years. As
naaans why he is laying down the bat
Mr. Carter has the following to say in his
farewell say to his readers:

$hi hat, and we say It ourselves, have done} , ,

trying to overcome it and since our coming

have not only had the rheumatism, appen-
dicitis and in fact everything except the
bubonic plague, it seems, but have held up
aader all until a few months ago when our
right begun to fail. We have just un-
dergone an operation and will soon try an- >
ether hi order to restore *ame, which
means more than anything in a physical
way to us.
The Enterprise editor has known Mr.
Carter for years and is sorry to learn of
his plight, but hopes he may soon recover
from all his ailments and again get back

WHY TEXAS IS PROSPEROUS
A gratifying fact about Texas in, that re-
ef the reaction from two major

growing out of politics, the State is

So even if he lives in idlene«« he has to
eet rid of heat at the rate of one hundred
calories an hour on the average. >vh?ch is
about «is much heat as is given «ff hv four
ordinary electric lights.
Now this heat can he got rid of in two
ways:
Tt can run away or he carried away.
Tt will run away if the temperature of
the surroonding air is enough lower than
the hndv and there is enough, not too
much, cloth between.
It can he carried away by water. Water
can carrv away more heat without showine
it than Anything else m the world. A
j on art of water will take on a calorie of
heat and only show a rise of less than two
degrees IFarhenheit. When a quart of
water evtiporates. it carries off about five
hundred calories. Tf. then, you sweat a
quart thin is the qnantity of heat yon are
"etting rid of. providing the perspiration

TEXAS COTTON CROP REPORT
SHOWS DAMAGE LAST 30 DAYS
The report of the acreage and condi-
tion of the Texas cotton crop up to Sept.
1st, was compiled by R. E. Yantis, Statis-
tician, and made public today by Commis-
sioner Geo. 11 Terrell. The report shows
great damage to the crop caused mostly
by drouth, during the last thirty days
In giving out the report Mr. Terrell
•aid-
"This report covers 193 counties, prac-
tically all the cotton producing counties
with from one to fifteen reporta from each
county. Tim reports received are from
presidents and secretaries of Farmers’ In-
stitutes, County Farm Demonstration
Agents, County Commissioners, b&nkerks.
merchants and individual farmers, and veri-
fied, as far as possible, by our field men.
The drouth seems to be the cause of the
greatest damage, as a large per cent of
the cotton was late, especially in the
western and northwestern part of
the State and in the flooded districts,, and
had no mature bolls when the drouth set
in. Damage by boll weevil and leaf *orms
are also reported. The report indicate* *
condition of 58.67 per cent, and a yield of
one fifth of a hale per acre, while our re-
port for August 1st indicated a condition
of 71 per cent and a yield slightly more
than one fourth of a bale per acre.
Taking the Government figures of 12,-
312,000 acres, planted, which I believe to
be too high, it indicated a yield of 2,-
462.400 hales, as compared with 2.179,145
hales produced last year.
If the yield in the other States is as
low in proportion as that of Texas the
total crop of the South will he less than
10,000,000 hales, and warrants a price of
30 cents per pound. There will be a cotton
famine next yeer and nothing short of
a conspiracy can keep the price from ad-
vancing.
The report by districts, and the average
for the State are as follows:
