Yesterday afternoon a reporter for the Daily Lioht and Jailer Tom Jennings vlgtlnl the cou η Λ farm, which is situated «bout three miles northeast of the city on the Ike and Waxahachie road. The reporter had received many invitations from Superintendent Crow to visit the farm hut for various and sundry reasons we had deferred going until yesterday. A county farm is usually referred to as a "poor farm", but in the lan guage of one of the old veterans from an eastern state the other day the Ellis county agricultural sta tion is about the richest "poor farm" that can oe found. In fact, we doubt if there is a county farm any where in Texas that can begin to compare with this one. Ft contains four hundred acre» of as fine black land an can be fourni anywhere in the state and all but fifty acres is in a high state of cultivation. Γροη arriving at the farm we found Su perintendent row standing truant over a number of convicts who Were planting sweet potato slips. Mr. Crow turned the convicts over to some of the guards and very ct.trt* teously showed uvectlon. The asylum is constructed of brick and contains twelve cells, all of which are kept in perfect order. All the houses had been given a spring cleaning uitd everything wan in a good sanitary condition. There was only one inmate or the asylum, a man named Reed, who will be sent to one of the state asylums in a few days. There were seven persons in the paupers' department. We were ί shown an aged η egress who has I neen there about four months. To the reporter she «aid she did not kn«'W her ape, but it is claimed that ι nhe ι» mor»· than 11 years οία, ι There are now sixteen convicts on the farm, timet of whom ar>- neirroes, 1 The male portion of tlivoi wert· plow· Ιηκ corn yesterday afternoon and M r Crow said that they only lacked a few acre* Ix'tug ovt>f it the second time. No cotton is raised on tb« farm. All the land is planted in I corn, oats ami wheat, in addition to which tiier»* are two alfalfa lots oi j fourteen acre» each. Se\ eral acres in devoted to garden purposes and 'the Irish potatoes, i^a» and otbei garden «tuff is in splendid condition. I lie wheat and oat* this year will not amount to much on account ol the dry weather, but the prospects for a magnificent eoru crop are very Mattering- Considering ttie dry weather and high wind» the corn is* KrowiiiR nicely and the land hat· br'en kept perfectly clean. Every thing on the farm ίκ conducted in a systematic manuer, which doubtless account* f»»r the success attained by Mr. Crow in his management of th» farm. After taking a look at the cropi Mr. Crow escorted II» to the back (yard tout eighty-foul shouts that will weigh from fifty t« one hundred and il f t y pounds. I Kight blooded Holsteiu cows fur j nigh enough milk for all purposes Fifteen big inulés are used on thi farm and they are in splendid con dit toil. The poultry department is presided over by Mrs. Crow and ii this work she takes a great deal ο pride. She now has four hundm and tifty little chicks just releasee from the incubator. i The yard in front of the house ii kept in a very pretty and inviting condition. A great number of ce dar trees have been planted in the yard and they have been trimmed "and pruned by the hand of an artiat. Mr. Crow is certainly to be con gratulated upon the officient man ner in wkich he looks after this in stitution. DARING ATTEMPT OF A NEGRO

It is said that when it becamepen erallv known this morning that an J attempt had heen made to outrage the young lady fueling ran pretty j high and it was probably well for jthe negro that he was in the county jail.

Of course Trinity University comes to us with a state and national reputa tion ami it is better tor Waxahachle, Prof. Parsons and all others con cerned that Texas College be merged with the University. If West End would now allow Waxahachle to ex tend her protecting wings around her and take lier into the corpora tion this building would possibly re main where it is and serve a good purpose as a ward school. Unless West End comes into the city the building may possibly be moved to Hullard Heights and used for school purposes. The citizens of that part of town who recently cast their lot with us are anxious* for its removal to that section of the city. Ellis County Man Elected. At the meeting of the Interstate Cottonseed Crushers' Association held in Dalian this week Col. J. \V. Allison was elected President. Mr. Allison was horn in Tennessee and is a graduate of Washington and Lee Cniversitv. He embarked in the cotton oil tuisiness at Jackson, Tennessee, and a few years ago came to Texas, where he had the su peri η tendency of a number of mills. About three years ago he bought the mill at Ennis and secured a Niarter under the laws of the state. He is recognized as one of the lead ing îotton oil men of the South. A Painful Accident. A little child of Mr. M. A Page, living near Sterrett, was the victim of a very painful accident one day this week. By some means it got hold of a can of concentrated lye and spilled a quantity of it in its face. Its'face was badly burned by the liquid and for awhile its lift· was despaired of.

Three solid trainloads of this feed have entered Texas within the past sixty days. Condition of Crops. Mr. Jas. S. Davis returned yes terday afternoon from a visit to several of his farms in the county. He says that a good rain within the next four or five day-- will prove of great benefit to wheat and oats. He thinks his wheat will yield bet ter than w as anticipated a few weeks ago. While high winds for the past few days have been very with ering-on vegetation, corn and cotton have held their own very well. Weather Indications. Tonight and Friday generally fair. S. K. SHKLL1TO.

Washington, May 1—Soon after the1 senate convened Wednesday, the con- j aideration of the Philippines govern- tnent bill was resumed and'Mr. Pat terson of Colorado ofTered a résolu- tion for which he asked immediate consideration, directing the secretary of war to cable Major Gardener, form erly civil governor of the province of Tayabas to return to the United States to appear as a witness before the Philippines committee. In the preamble to the resolution, Mr. Patterson declared that the Philip pine committee decided by a "partisan vote," to refuse to ask that Major Gardener be called to appear as soon g* he could come to the United States. I Mr. McCotuas raised the question that It was not proper to say that the committee had divided upon "parti· j pan" line· Mr Allison said he was satisfied j that Major Gardener would reach Washington long before congress ad- i journed, ami thert* would be ample j time to get his testimony, j Mr Tillman indicated hie belief j that Information was being •'smother ed," and he demanded to know from Mr. Lodge whether he proposed to drag the senate into a vote upon Mr. Lodge replied laughing]? that ho wished to he could dragoon the senate Into a vote on the measure, but Mr Tillman knç"^J:o ooula do nothing of the He believed U would t ^fÇpoaterou* for the senate to rfalt on a single witness.

Mr Carmai Κ of Tennessee declared that the report made by Major (îar- j dener was so *tartHne and important that the secretary of war had en deavored to keep it from the senate and from the American peeple He j insisted that unless the proposed res- i oltition was adopted. Major Gardener j surely would not get to Washington before congress adjourned Mr Culln-rmn of Texaa explained that the minority of the Philippines committee. especially desired Major Gardener's u stimony, because his statements had been challenged by Governor Taft and General MacAr thur. Mr Lcwia» the chairman, said that Major Gardener ought to appear be fore the committee He suggested sar castically that Major Gardener was particularly an important witness. beouis Tillc p»>ol room proprietors and the local police are convinced that the rooms Wednesday lost $1500 to wire tappers, though one room subsequently got back $700, and were only prevented from loalng many times that amount by the refusal of the rooms to pay un til official news came in.
