"Citizen" calls attention today
to a duty which we have sadly neg
lected and which demads immediate
attention that we may not he writ
ten down as a community of in
grates. The munificent gift of the
late N. P. S iins is entitled to some
recognition on the part of our city
and county. So lar neither the city
nor the county has recognized
this donation, and as each is to be
benefitted and blessed thereby; it
appears to this paper that some re
cognition thereof is not only due,
but demanded by common courtesy.
We hope the suggestion of "Citi
zen" will he acted upon and that I
the county judge, joined by the
mayor, will at an early day issue a
«rail for a mass meeting for th>» pur
poses named.
The Ennis Local runs a column
umiled "editorial itchings.' The
substitution of "i" for "e" in the
last word was a bappy hit and quite
in keeping with the eternal fitness of

ieading.

A Trip to Ennis.
ι spent last Saiurutty m r.unis. ι
We have an enormous list of sub-1
icribers at that place, also at Bris- j
loi, Crisp, Telico, Alsdorff, Ensign, '
Palmer, (.iariett, Leland, Bardwell j
and Byron and citizens from all I '
these postoffices are found in Ennis j
Saturdays, and sometimes a gr»-at ! ι
many of them. 1 enjoy my visits ; -
there meeting- with the good looking j
citizens who read the great religious '
journal, 'T'he VVaxahachie Enter
prise. Not quite ;·11 the good look- J '
ιηκ people of Ellis county read that j
paper, but the great majority of '
them do anil I am still working1 ^
faithfully to make them a grandi!
and good paper and with my good j
looks and winning ways I am still '
endeavoring to persuade them to '
com» in and be one of the happy 1
famify that now number more than : '
five thousand. !1
At all the twelve postofflces men f
iioned In the beginning of this arti-1 j
cle and the country tributary there- '
So the drouth has been disastrous to ; '
the corn. 1 met gentlemen from all j '
the places mentioned and they said '
the corn crop was almost a total ! f
failure and if the drouth kept on 1
cotWn also would be a failure,''
Wifrile rain might come and cause '
this crop to yield well, still they I '
airast haverainthis summer to make | '
aotton. No rains' in the past twelve *
months to wet the subsoil and even ι ^
now the surface moisture put there \ i
by the showers this spring is almost '
exhausted and when that is ail gone ; '
«otton will go with it. This coun-,1
try tributary to Ennis failed to get ; '
Mi y of the last rain that fell in oth- , 1
*r sections of Ellis county and their
corn is not only burned up but most, <
of the farmers throughout this,
northern and eastern part of the '
rtHinty are in hard shape for water, i
C. C. Kendrick, who lives out on!
the Porters Bluff road, five miles j
♦ast of Ennis said he was hauling ι
water four miles for all his family
and stock and drawing that water
from a well 65 feet deep, and his
neighbors were doing the same
tiling. P. R. Thompson, who man
eges the big farms known as the
Alston place, near Rankin, now
owned by I>. A. Eastham,of Hunts
ville, Texas, said that he had just
Éhished cutting with a machine 250
acres of corn; said he run that ma
chine day and night, corn stalks
were drvi <·ι *o rapidly he was com
pel Ι>· I t.< !o it in order to save even
$hc et d . before they dried up; and ;
that Alsi.ui f«rm Is known to be one j
<>f the finest in the county. It is
possible with a good cotton crop for
• s to get through in some sort of
shape. Oklahoma, Kansas and the
lackian Territory etHl have fine
prospecte for a corn crop and if we
«an succeed in makingcotton to pay
for it we will buy corn cheaper than
we did last year. 1 dislike to write
anything like this but they are facte
that now stare us In the face and it
is getting to be a serious problem,
we are facing it. and It le going to
fake good rustling and good man'
agement to stem the tide of adver
sity that now imioi to be upon us.
The following letter from Mr. A.
D. Aldridge, a good cittsen of DaJ
ftss county, may help our farmer*
«at:
"Dallas, Texas, June 14. Gentle
inen: In reply to your Inquiry ae
ο the renaît of my experience laat
oar with milo maize, I beg to nay,
m July *1 planted in drill· three
eet app.rt, dropping th* seed from
ix to eight Inches. The season, an
■ou are aware, was extremely dry
md no corn or grain waa raised.
Notwithstanding this, the milo
naiie matured, yielding about se*
mty-flve bushels of grain and three
<>ns of excellent fodder to the acre.
\h a feed for horses and cattle I
ound it eminently satisfactory, and
egard it preferable to either corn
>r sorghum, and furthermore, the
safest and most profitable crop to be
aised where drouths prevail. After
torn and other crops had perished
rom the drouth the milo malaeflour
shed and remained perfectly green
antil matured. I have planted a
arg»· acreage this season, and feel
satisfied it will yield me two to
Ihree times more feed per acre than
*ny other crop.
Yours truly.
A. D. ALDRIDGE."
If I were farming I would plant
fvafflr corn in addition to the milo
maize. I

Washington, June 18.—The Repub
lican members of the senate commit
tee on Cuban relations has finally
agreed to the acceptance of the Spoon
er bill providing for reciprocity witl
Cuba.
After the meeting adjourned th«
text of the bill was made public. II
is a substitute for the house bill and
Is as follows: I
"When the Republic of Cuba shall
have enacted a law or laws establish
ing preferential rates of customs du
ties on any or all article® the growth
production nr manufacture of the Unit
ed States imported into Cuba, which
preferential rates shall in the opinion
of the president of the United State»
constitute a satisactory equivalent I
for the reduction hereinafter provid
ed in the rate of customs duties upon j
irticl s, the growth, production or;
manufacture of Culm, impor >d into
the United States, and he shall so de- |
„jt"i, ι/ j jji uv laiuauuu uuv » w»1" ■
ihereafter so long as such preferential ;
luties shall be continued by the gor
>rnment of Cuba, not longer, however,
:ban five years, the duties levied, col- j
ected and paid upon such article* β β
■xported from Cuba to the United,
States shall be SO percentum of the !
luties specified In the act entitled
An act to provide revenue for the gov- ι
■rnment and to encourage the indua
rles of the United States,' approved
Γιιΐν 24, 18Û7. and any amendment
hereof: provided however, that It
iliall be the duty of the president to ;
horotighly investigate, thro'igh the
Uploraatlc representatives of the
"nlted States In Cuba and by such oth
r means as he may deem necessary
ο employ for tbe purpose, whether the
ariff concession hereinbefore provided
ipOn articles the growth, production or
nanufacture of Cuba substantially in- ;
ures. so f«.r as the articles of sugar
nd tobacco are concerned, to the bene- j
it of the producers of said articles in
'uba, and If the president shall be eat- I
sfled from such Investigation that the j
ubstantlal benefit of the said conces
lon upon either of said articles is in- j
ring to the purchasers thereof, lndl- ;
idual or corporate In the United States
t shall be his duty to so declare by I
irociamation to that effect, and there
pon and thereafter so Ion* «s said
onditlons shall continue there shall
ie levied and collected upon such ar- '
lcles or thai one of them as to which ,
aid conditions exist, the rate of duty j
evied and collerted by law upon such
rtlcle or articles coming into the
'nlted States from other foreign coun
ries."
Senators Elklns, Burrow*, Dietrich
tnd Foroker later called at the White
iouse and discussed Cuban rerlprocl
y with the president. The attitude of
he president now is regarded more
hat of a listener than an adviser, he
laving expressed himself In his
special message as to the duty of con
gress toward Cuba. Senator Elklns
remarked at the White House that
congress would adjourn without action
5f any kind on Cuban reciprocity.
Senator Foreaker on the other hand
predicted that some sort of an agree
ment would be reached before long.
Interest In the question of Cuban
reciprocity is centered in the confer
ence of Republican senators to be held
at the request of the Republican mem
bers of the committee on Cuban rela
tions.
The sugar men have beee so encour
aged by recent occurrences that many
of them claim that the conference de
cision will be adverse to any legisla
tion whatever In the interest of Cuba.
They still claim 20 Republican· will
oppose any effort at legislation on the
floor of the senate, and they assert
that there are many others of their
eoleaeuee who are in sympathy with
them and will so express themselves
!n the privacy of the confernce room.
This showing they believe will be such
as to convince the advocates of reci
procity of the futility of their more
and cause them to abandon the effort
without taking the question to «he see
ate. The friend· of tbe mease re, how
ever, say there can be no doubt that
the conference will have preference
for the 8pooner bill, and that it will b·
reported to the senate bjr the commit·
tee having It la char*·.
