NO IMPORTED SEED.
'Texas Planters will be Content With
Home Product.
Dallas, Texas, Oct. 29.—There
will be no more early maturing
cotton seed imported by Texas
planters, at least not inorganized
capacity. The Dallas Jobbers
Cotton Seed Supply company
that had charge of seed impor-
tations from North Carolina last
season, met today and disband-
ed.
The opinion arrived at, as the
result of letters from 400 far-
mers, was adverse to pre-
ference for the importations.
The alien seed matured only
a little earlier than the native
varities, and the staple, as a
rule, was much shorter and
inferior.
Deep plowing and carefully
selecting native seeds for plant-
ing was recommended as in-
dispensable features of good
cultural methods for keeping up
the standard of Texas cotton and
checking the progress of the
boll weevil.

The Fruits of Nepotism.
Here is one of | the reasons
why Russia is cutting such a
sorry figure in her war with
Japan in the far East: The
j twenty-three nearest male rela-
S tives of the czar receive the sum
of $460,000 a year from the
government. They own, as they
call it, 5,000 square miles of the
best land in the empire, and on
this land are 325 fine palaces.
Royalty comes high in Russia,
but the fools must have it.—

Amendments.
The people are called upon to
vote on three amendments to the
constitution. This is a serious
matter and ought not to be pass-
ed lightly. It is not like casting
a vote between two men, one
about as good as the other. This
is tp change the constitution un-
der which we have lived and pros-
pered. It is not wise to vote a
change unless you see a pressing
necessity for the change. This
is especially true in case the
change involves money and tax-
ation as is the case in these
amendments. A good rule is,
unless you see a necessity for
these amendments, vote against
them. It is true the state con-
vention endorsed these amend-
ments, but that is not sufficient
reason for our voting for them
unless they commend themselves
individually. This they do not,
and we shall vote against all
three of the amendments. We
can not advise others how to
vote, but we can and do advise
unless you see a pressing need
of them, vote against them.
Many of these financial proposi-
tions are for the benefit of a few
men and -to the detriment of the
masses.—Rusk County News.
A Houston physician has dis-
covered a new disease that he
calls “love madness.” He has
been experimenting with the
person afflicted therewith and
has produced the “love para-
site,” or bacillus microcus. He
inoculated a number of subjects
and the inoculation was invaria-
bly successful, symptoms of the
disease appearing a very short
time after the operation. A bach-
elor, aged 50, on the first day af-
ter the inoculation, had his whis-
kers dyeci, ordered a new suit of
clothes and a set of store teeth,
bought a top buggy, a bottle of
hair restorer, a diamond ring
and a guitar, and began reading
Byron’s poems. The inoculation
produced symptoms of the same
nature on a young lady of 45.
She spent $5 at a drug store for
cosmetics, bought a lot of new
hair and a croquet set, sang
“Empty Is the Cradle,” sent out
invitations for a party and com-
plained that the young men do
not go into society.
The doctor is still experiment-
ing. and will soon lay the result
of his observations before the
good people of Houston with the
hope that it may be the means of
keeping white babies out of the
care and raising of negro women
in that wicked city. It is cer-
tainly to be hoped that the doctor
will succeed.—Alvin Sun.

Baptist Missionary Association.
This body, now in session at
Dallas, is being attended by
something like 1,000 messen-
gers. The Baptist church of
this state is divided into two
factions, known as the “board
party,’, and the “church party.”
The B. M. A. is the state or-
ganization of the latter. Its or-
ganization was brought about
mainly through the efforts of
Rev. J. M. Newburn of this city
and his associates, their views
having been disseminated
throughout the denomination by
the Bap cist Echo, also of this
city, and other church publica-
tions. Mr. Newburn has been
the corresponding secretary of
the state mission board of the
new organization, and will no
doubt be re-elected. Rev. L. L.
Sams of this city, has also been
re-elected as recording secretary
of the association.
Jacksonville College, built and
owned by a corporation known
as the East Texas Educational
Society, has all along received
aid and support from the:‘church
party” wing of the Baptist
church, and has been recognized
as the official school. At the
Dallas meeting this corporation
tendered the property to the B.
M. A., and the offer was accept-
ed, so the school now changes
ownership. It has a debt of
about $3,000, and on Tuesday
night J. M. Newburn attempted
to raise this amount in cash and
pledges. After $2,000 had been
contributed the meeting adjourn-
ed, and it was expected that the
remaining portion of the debt
would be raised at the next meet-
ing. _
The Banner keeps in stock
blank notes, mortgages, vendor’s
lien notes and warranty deeds.
These blanks are printed on good
paper and sold at city prices.
