Austin, January %, 1915.

Austln, january %, io'o' ,
The large number of immigrants that
have, and will arrive in our state the
present season, and the increase in the
number that may be confidently Look
ed for next fall and winter, to judge
from the data now in this office, IN
duces me to very respectfully and earn-
estly suggest to the farmers, ofevery part
of the state, the propriety and necessi-
ty of cultivating larger area OF theLr
lands in breadstuffs.
You Justly claim thet Texas has the
finest soil and climate for the grown
of corn and other cereals OF any OF the
southern and southwestern states, ana
while this claim is indisputably true,
YOUR system of farming forces you TO
import very largely from other states,
corn, flour, meat and many olher arti-
cles of food that you could ana shouid
produce. While the western farmer,
will II far less genial climate, plants
and grows, so as To not only supply h!s
home demand, hut exports largely,
meat. corn, flour and vegetables, your
:, stem Of farming forces you tu import
all these articles that will grow ~
luxurianti, in your fields rs it does IN
the fields of those who produce them.
1t is IA difficult matter to convince
your brother far!l er In other states
that Texas is good country To produce
the necessary articles while corn Is
worth from one dollar to one dollar
and fifty cents per bushel, and other ar,
ticles of that class equally as dear, and
to supply the demand large quantities
have to be imported from other states,
and in many instances the farmer
himself is All importer of those articles
Barring any unusual provideDtlal IN.
reference, in the course of the present
year your state will receive during the
comii fall and winter the largest I'M
migration of any state in the union III
in any one year.
To plant, SO as to supply not only
your own h me demand for these artl-
cles, but the increased demand caused
by this influx of imm grafton, seems
to he an imperative duty, ana yot
should consult your own interest aho
the true prosperity of the state.
The near approach Of the planting
season, and the necessity OF gro"lhs
more vegetables, corn and other cere
ais by the farmers of the state, has IN
duced me to respectfully submit thes'
suggestions for their consideration.
The press of the state Is respectfully
requested to publish these suggestions

THE English papers are full of the
recent terrible marine disaster, the
burning of the emigrant ship, Cospat-
rick, which left Gravesend for Auck-
land. September II, 1874, with up
wards of four hundred emigrants and
crew of forty-one men. On the 18th
of November the vessel was discover
ed to be on fire when in latitude 37:lh
south, longtud 1925 east, the wind be-
ing light and the sea smooth. The
scene which ensued, as described by
Mr.. Mcdonnell, one of the survivors
was appalling. The fire rapidly spread
and every one was for himself. Foul
hundred aud fifty souls perished. Five
out of few who took to the boat were
picked up at sea, after having under
gone incredible sufferings from hunger
thirst and madness. The survivors
lived by sucking the blood OF those
who died of starvation.

LIEUTENANT COLONEL MORROW,
United States army, has been speaking
out in meeting. He commands at
Shreveport, and his reports sent to the
senate says there is no need of troops
there, but that the Kellogg govern
ment has not the respect of any class
of people in the state. He says, more
over, that the troops have been used
by United States marshals in a most
uni lstifiable way of making unneces-
sary arrests in brutal manner. Gene
raj Sherman endorses the report and
compliments Morrow. Still Sheridan
is "not afraid"

The testimony of Lieutenant Col
onel Morrow, of the United States ar
my, in New Orleans, before the con-
gressional committee, is pithy. He
says there is no hostility to the United
States government on the part of the
people. No need for fed eral troops In
the northern part of Louisiana, and no
disposition OH the part of the whites to
deprive the negro Of his rights. Being
merely soldier, he hazards no politi-
cal advice. This from Grant man
and a personal friend of the president,
| r. pretty good.

Messrs. Morgan, Rosenheim d Co.,
of Liverpool; in reviewing the cotton
market for the year, write: "Four-fifths
of the planters were yearly deluded by
the false hopes of small crop and
high prices, which invariably resulted
in excessive expenses, low prices, bal
ances and gradual ruin. Reverse the
tactics: Raise with economy as much
as your means and ability will permit,
base calculations on intrinsic value,an
the result will prove gradual, but
surer prosperity. Trade both in Liver
erpool and on the continent is in ;
healthier state. Consumption i'm har-
mony with the exports of yearns AM
goods, is steadily increasing, (which il
u significant feature, considering Tho
cautious policy pursued by shippers o
goods to foreign countries. Presen
values of American cotton evidently
mean preference for that staple, an'
increased consumption"

A Washington correspondent says:
"One night during the month of
December, when the moon was full
and shining brightly, two men, who
had fingered long where tho wine
was red and flowing, started at a
late hour for their homes. On the
way a difference arose between
them as to whether it was the sun
or the moon that was lighting them
on their way. They were becoming
somewhat animated in the express
sion of their opinions, when II third
party was discovered approaching
Them. TO whom they agreed to leave
their disagreement for final decision.

A SONG.

Mr.. Swinhurne has written n little
song which "Sweet Anne Page" sings
at the Gaiety theater, London, where
the "Nlerry Wives Of Windsor Is the
play. This Is the song:
Love laid his sleepless head
On u thorny rose bed;
And his eyes with tears were red,
And pale his lips as dead.
And fear, and sorrow and scorn,
Kept watch by his head forlorn,
Till the night was overworn,
And the world was merry with morn.
And JOY came up with the day,
And kissed Loves lips as he lay;
And the watchers, ghostly and gray,
Fled from his pillow away,
And his eyes at the dawn grew bright,
And his lips waxed ruddy as light
Sorrow may reign for n night,
But dny shall bring back delight.

Matchmaking as a Business

A New York correspondent writes
as follows: The extent to which this
business is carried on and its success
is astounding. Men and women live
in elegantly furnished houses up town,
who pursue this business of black
mailing as trade They get the en-
tree Of society, form car acquaint-
ances with respectable people, hire
pews in elegant churches, and ride in
coaches on the fruits of their business
Nobody is spared It's the rule in the
district attorneys office, when Wo-
man calls to see the officer, to have
the doors all open that lead into 9th
er rooms. One of our most eminent
lawyers consented to hold a consulta-
ton with an elegantly dressed woman
one afternoon. It cost him ten thou
sand dollars before he got through
with it. One of our most prominent

How Rich Men Begin Life.

From the New York Sun.
Cornelius Vanderbilt began life with
an old pirouge, running between Sta
ten Island and New York City, carry
ing garden stuff to market. With two
or three thousand dollars raised from
that source he entered upon steadily
increasing enterprises, until he amass-
ed the enormous sum of $50, ,O00, 900.
A 7. Stewart first bought few
laces at auction, and opened his way
to success in q dingy little shop in
Broadway, near the site of his whole
sale establishment Years of rigid
honesty, shrewd management and wis
dom in things both great and small,
have made him the monumental mer-
chant of the nineteenth century.
Daniel Drew IN his early life, was a
cattle driver, at the munifcent rate of
rs cents day, and he has now driv-
en- himself into an estate valued at
from $25, 100000 to $30,000,000.
George Law, at As years of age,was
a common day laborer on the docks,
and at present counts his fortune at
something like S10,000,OO0.
Robert L. and Alexander Stuart, the
Sugar refiners, in their boyhood sold
m0lasses candy, which their widowed
mother had made, at cent stick,
and to day they are worth S5,000,000
to Sc, 100000 apiece.
Marshall o. Roberts is the possessor
of S4,OOO,OOO or $5, 1000, 900, and yet,
until he was twenty five he did not
have 800 he could call his own.
H: B. Claffin, the emineut dry goods
merchant, worth, it is estim ated, from
$40, 10000 to S15, 100000, commeced
the world with nothing but energy,
determination and hope; and see how
magnifcently he has invested them.

Silent Men.

Washington never made q speech.
In the zenith of his fame he once at
tempted it, failed, gave it up confused
and abashed. In framing the Consti-
tuition of the United States, the labor
was almost wholly performed in Com
mittee of the Whole, Of which George
Washington was the Chairman but he
made two speeches during the Con-
vention of few words each, some
thing like one of Grants speeches.
The Convention, however, acknewl.
edged the master spirit, and the histo-
rians affirm that had it not been: for his
personal popularity, and the thirty
words of his first speech, pronounc-
ing it the best that could be united
upon, the Constitution would have
been rejected by the people. Thomas
Jefferson never made a speech. Ht
could not do it. Napoleon, whose ex
ecutive ability is almost without
parallel, said that his greatest Difficult
ty was in finding men of deeds rather
! than words. When asked how hemain
J tanned his influence over his superior
in age and experience when Comman

said by reserve. The greatness of tn
man is not measured by the length {
his speechs and their number.

YANKToN, D. T., April 4.-There is
great excitement here to-day on ac
count OF the arrival here of two men
directly from the Black Hills party
that started from Springfield about the
LIST of February. They had in their
possession several nuggets and part
icles of gold, taken from the soil with
an axe. They are fully satisfied that
gold exists there in paying quantities,
and have returned for provisions and
implements. They will start soon
with a. company they intend to raise
