COTTON IS FINE; AUTUMN
WILL BE BUSY, SAYS WRAY
No Reason for People in Texas
to Be Other Than Optimis
tic Says Merchant.
“There is no reason for Texas people
to worry and there is no occasion for
them being blue or to grumble, as the
indications for the busiest fall in the
history of this great state could not
possibly be better. The ofltlook suits
me and I am taking my vacation with
ease and quietude.”
This is the way W. 11. Wray, vice
president and general manager of the
Bush & Gerts Piano company of Texas,
with headquarters at Dallas, who is iu
San Antonio on his vacation, sizes up
business conditions in the state.
Mr. Wray arrived in San Antonio
from Dallas Tuesday, making the trip
in his 60-horsepower Olds limited, ac
companied by his wife, his mother, Mrs.
B. S. Wray, his son, W. H. 'Wray, Jr.,
William Andrews and J. D. McLean of
New York City. The run from Dallas
to San Antonio was made in what is
thought to be record time. The speed
ometer showed that 318.14 miles had
been covered and the actual running
time was 12 hours and 5 minutes. The
entire trip was made without a punc
ture or mishap of any sort.
“It was a grand trip to San Anto
nio,” said Mr. Wray. “Cotton looked
tine to me. I saw cotton plants as high
as my shoulder and they were loaded
down with bolls and squares. If we
have rains within the next ten days
Texas will have the greatest cotton
crop in her history. At this season of
the year there is always a little unrest
in financial circles, but just as soon as
we begin selling our cotton this will
rapidly disappear. The business of the
Bush & Gerts company has enjoyed a
steady increase and I am satisfied, and
our business this summer has been ex
ceedingly good.”
Mr. Wrav likes San Antonio. He said

We desire to say that when we took
the agency for ZEMO, it was after a
thorough investigation as to the merit
and curative properties of this remedy
for eczema, pimples and dandruff. We
frankly admit ZEMO has far exceeded
our expectations as a eure for skin dis
eases. We are pleased to state that we
will continue the agency, as ZEMO
gives the best satisfaction of any sim
ilar remedy we have ever sold. Our
customers like ZEMO because it is a
clean, vegetable liquid for external use.
ZEMO cures by drawing to the surface
of the skin and destroying the germ
life that causes the disease, leaving the
skin clean and healthy. It does not
soil the clothing or linens and can be
used freely on infants.
We will give a booklet on skin dis

they can be cured at home of any form
of skin or scalp disease by this clean,

SOUTHERN BANKEKS
HIE HOPEFUL VIEW
Say They Do Not Object to
Validating Cotton Bills of
Lading, But That's All.
Associated Press.
New Orleans. La., Aug. s.—Southern
bankers are taking a hopeful view of
the situation created by the action of
English bankers in demanding that cot
ton bills of lading sent with drafts to
foreign ports, be guaranteed by Ameri
can banks. The position of many, banks
in the south is at the same time one of
doubtfulness as to guaranteeing bills of
lading. Many banking institutions are
yet to be convinced they can make such
guarantee without endangering their as
sets. , n p- ■
It is asserted that the national banks,
under the law cannot guarantee bills of
lading and that state banks will not
make such a guarantee because they
are unwilling to assume the financial
responsibility thus entailed.
On the other hand, bankers of New
Orleans and other southern cities say
they do not object to validating cer
tificates. but this will be as far as they
can go in insuring buyers of American
cotton against loss by possble fraudu
lent practices.

When you open the Panama canal, I
want to see the United States engaged

will be one or two regular steamship

“That is what I wish first to speak

This
Pretty Strong.
I WANT you to. I’ve a strong subject and a live
one. SAN JOSE is the liveliest topic of the day.
SAN JOSE is going to be the greatest resort of
its kind in the world. I believe this firmly. And
what is better, the PEOPLE believe it, and are
buying lots. People do not as a rule buy anything
they DON’T believe in.
SAN JOSE isn't making this phenomenal ‘‘go”
without a reason. There are several good reasons
for its rapid growth, but I'd like to impress upon
you the two greatest reasons: It has right in its
center the famous Terrell Hot Well, pouring forth
its hot curative radium water; it has the year-’round
climate that draws tourists from all over the world.
SAN JOSE is the fastest money-making propo
sition on the market. You can't make a mistake on
this property —except the mistake of NOT BUY
ING IT NOW. Did you ever hear the expression:
‘‘ls it possible! I could have bought that corner five
years ago for dollars.” It’s the sad retrospect of
the man who waited.

PROHIBITIONISTS WILL
PUT OUT COMPLETE TICKET
State Convention Will be Held
at Dallas Tuesday—Car
roll and Everts,
The state convention of the prohibi
tion party in Texas will be held at Dal
las August 9, at which time a full state
ticket will be put out. George W. Car
loll of Beaumont will probably be nom
inated for governor and Arthur A. Ev
erts of Dallas for lieutenant governor.
There is no question that a vigorous
campaign will be waged.
The information is given out by Wy
ilitfe A. Johnson of Orange, one of the
leading prohibitionists in Texas, and
who is stopping at the Menger. Mr.
.Johnson says the prohibitionists expect
this fall to poll the largest vote ever
recorded in the state, which, he says,
will be due to tjie general dissatisfac
tion of the “pros” with the nomina
tion of Colquitt for governor in the late
primaries.
Mr. Johnsen says the prohibition
democrats feel that they have been
tricked. They divided their forces, he I
says, and lost the governorship, but j
half of them will vote the prohibition ;
this fall. Mr. Carroll, who, Mr.
Johnson says, will be nominated for
governor at the state convention, was

There are certain mineral medicines which will temporarily remove the

in the system for awhile, but when the treatment is left off the trouble al
ways returns in worse form. But that is not all; the delicate membranes
and tissues of the stomach and bowels are usullay injured by these strong
minerals, and frequently stomach trouble, chronic dyspepsia, and mercu
rial rheumatism are added to the destructive blood poison. S. S. S. is the
only remedy that can be used with perfect safety in the treatment of Con
tagious Blood Poison, and with the assurance that a lasting cure will
result. This medicine, made entirely of non-injurious roots, herbs and
barks of recognized curative and tonic value, removes every particle of the
virus from the circulation, and by enriching and strengthening the blood
removes every symptom permanently. S. S. S. does not hide or cover up
the disease in any way, but cures It by removing it from the system.
