The question of what will be done
with regard to a cotton crop next
year is one that Anderson county
people, as well as the cotton planters
of the state and south generally, will
have to settle at once, and then
shape operations to meet the new
conditions. It is being urged that the
wisest course would be to plant no
cotton next year, and thus stimulate
the price of the immense crop now
on hand. This, undoubtedly would
be a wise move, but it remains to see
how the grower will look at it. But
it is certain the acreage wull have to
be very materially reduced, and
much attention given to other crops.
The Herald frankly admits that it
believes a whole lot less cotton and
a great deal more feed and poultry
and stock would be a mighty valu-
able change. It is to be hoped the
people of this county will take the
matter up and discuss it intelligently
and decide on a program that will
other to secure our good will and to
win our friendship.

TALKING FACTORY.
A great deal is appearing in south-
ern papers about factories. And here
In Texas cotton mills and plants to
manufacture cotton goods are being
discussed. Waco is looking into the
question of a big cotton mill and
Marshall is discussing a sock factory
as a means of using some of the cot-
ton of that section. These things
wilK come in due time. Palestine
could take care of a factory or two
of this character. Ac overall factory
would be a go here. Matters are go-
igg to come to a crisis in Texas with-
in the next few years, and the peo- "ra'n
pie are going to realize that mills in
the cotton field section will be profit-
able. With the opening of the Pan-
ama Canal have come big and new
opportunities to Texas and Texas
will accept them and improve them.
If nothing else offers in the way of
work take a job in the cotton field.
There is no excuse for an idler these
days.
Across the fertile fields of our
blessed land, where in peace and sun-
shine we are harvesting
crops, no armies march,
them, as in Europe, with a “besom
of destruction;” no reign of terror
spreads through country, town and
city of advancing hosts with their
awful carnage; no fields are covered
with the dead and the dying; no
agonizing cries of the wounded often
alone and unattended are heard; no
rivers are choked with the bodies of
the dead too many to be numbered;
no streams run red with human
bfood; no farms are devastated, and
no vampires with their hell-born
bombs fly by night bringing to man-
kind a hitherto unknow terror.
Here peace holds sway.
Against the blood-red soil of Eu-
rope we contrast the snow-white
fields of millions of acres of cotton;
against the ungathered crops and the
fields swept bare of horses to move
the armies and of cattle to feed them,
where old men and women bowed
with sorrdw seek to do the work of
loved on.es who have been called for
the stupendous struggle of slaughter,
we look out at the wide , reaching
fields with their splendid
yields, at the cattle upon a thousand
hills, at orchards and vineyards and
groves yielding in abundance, and
upon towns and cities whose inhabi-
tants work in comfort and sleep in
peace. Instead of the bitter, relent-
less hatred of the nations of Europe
as they grapple at each other's
throats, we have the fulness of
peace at home and we see all the na-
tions of the earth vieing with each

There should be some way of pre-
venting the booze toters from mak-
ing such a flagrant demonstration in
their excursions here after the booze.
It is a disgusting sight to see a
bunch of rough necks packing grips
of booze all over town preceding the

A Criticism and a
Timely One at That
A gentleman who is always right
and who appreciates all good moves
for the improvement of the city call-
ed a Herald man’s attention to a
matter that had impressed him and
that he Jioped to see corrected. He
said he had been attending the de-
lightful band concerts during the sum-
mer and had been delighted at the
splendid progress made by the band
until it has become a real musical or-
ganization, rendering good music,
but he was distressed because night
after night he had heard the band
play inspiring music, heard by im-
mense crowds, and yet never an ap-
plause. He said he had often asked
people while at the band concert if
they did not think the music fine, and
the answer was invariably yes. 'He
w'ants the Herald to suggest that the
people show their appreciation by
applauding the band. And the sug-
gesfion is a good one. A little evi-
dence of appreciation will encourage
the band boys to do their best.
