TEE heat is not so terrible as men are

The heat is not SO terrible as men are
accustomed to assert. We have norseeu
the mercury above ninety-two degrees this
summer and do not believe that it has been
higher, and the sea breeze is never still.
Very wrong are they, therefore, who are
constantly complaining of intense solar
hest. We know nothing of suffering from
this cause such as affiicts cities North of
US, especially those remote from the sea
and those in which buildings are SO lofty
that people In narrow streets and on terra
frma are absolutely entombed.

THE building of the Northwestern. Rail-
road from Hearne to Bolton this year, aud
hereafter on to Lampssas and the Texas
Pacific seems to be an established fact, and
the announcement that work has COM
menced may be looked for any day. The
distance from Hearne to Bolton is fifty
miles, and the people of Bell county offer
the Central company $4,000 for every ten
miles of road built towards Bolton. BY
reference TO the map it will be seen thar
Bolton is nearer Lampasas, Hamilton and
Brown counties, etc., than either Austin or
Round Rock, and whenever The road is
completed TO Bolton, Austin will feel the
effects of it unless something be done 70
countefact the Influence. Austin is GER
tainly standing in her own light by declin-
ing to build narrow gauge railroad in the
direction of Lampasas, and also in not see
ing that the wagon roads are improved.

FEVER AND AGUE prevails, everybody should
have it, and use it freely, both for cure and pro-
lection Il is hoped this price viii place Il within
the reach of. all the poor as well as the rich.

Mr.. Il. H. LUcKETT has returned from q
three weeks trip through the counties OF
Brown, Coleman and Hamilton, northwest
OF Austin, and he reports that the immi-
grafton to that section is unprecedented,
Every road Is lined with wagons filled wi th
people every day in the week, and in Brown
county old settlers say the vote now, mum
bers from twelve to fifteen hundred, while
two years ago the county voted but about
two hundred. In Brentwood Mr.. Luckett
bought ice at seven cents . pound that
had been shipped there from Dallas, and
in his intercourse with the business men he
Esd that all did their trading with Dali
las, nraesh the distance to that place is
thirty or forty miles greater than to
Austin. This being the case, 1t must
be that Dallas gets that trade because
her people are more enterprisles aud
fsr-seeing than are those of Austin.
There is nothing like effort and energy,
and the people of Austin should wake up
and strive for trade which goes elsewhere.
To keep what we have is not the idea, but
to attract that which we have not should
be the object aimed at, and now is the time
to act. Our business men should get to-
gether and consult, and then move in the
matter. With the advent of the Interna-
tional Railroad, lumber will be bought
and sold much cheaper here than ever be-
fore, and freights will be much less than
ever before.
!, These facts should be made known to the
up-countrY people by handbiusA or sother-
vie; the road towards Lampasas, at least
as tar as Liberty Hill, should be improved,
and that fact be made known; in fact,
everything possible should be done to2inr
crease the trade and business of this city
Two or three thousand dollars would, no
doubt place the. Georgetown road ip
excellent condition as far as the
toll bridge over Walnut creek, for tits
good road now with here and there an
exceptions, and from there on to Liberty
Hill the road could be greatly improved
with the expenditure of a few thousand
more. Could not a company be formed,
for the purpose of making good macadam
lied toll road Has any body got any
thing to suggest or say upon, the subject,
and is there a man In Austin willing to lead
off in this important matter tls salhasi sai .

THE Democratic County Convention, for
the selection of candidates to the district
convention, met yesterday. After perma-
nent organization, a delegate proposed the
name of twelve Hancock men, and dared
the convention to attempt to elect any
other kind of delegates. After reading the
names, he said that the election Of these
gentlemen was the only course that would
lie permitted. The Austin precinct stood
IA Hancock men to IL anii-Hancock,
,and several delegates from the country
being also opposed to Hancock, there arose
a confusion which, for about an hour, gave
promise of defeating the objects OF. the
convention. A resolution of the conven--
ton to elect delegates to precincts was at
last carried, but the Austin precinct, by its
IA to II votes, delegated this power to its
chairman. and he appointed avowed Han
cock men. The other precincts elected del
ega.es as instructed. How arbitrary meas
ures will succeed, remains TO be seen..
What we want is the election of a man by
the district convention who will carry the
district, and earnestly hope for this result.

Mr.. BLAYLOCK, of Galveston, who has
just returned from Lampasas, reports much
enthusiasm regarding the extension of the
international to Round Rock, and he gives
it as his opinion, and many others from the
up-country concur with him, that all Of the
Lampasas, Burnet and adjacent counties
will do their trading at Round Rock Their
principal reasons are that they save about.
fifteen miles of travel over a bad road by
going to Round Rock in place of this city
Whether they will be as good as their
word or not, the STATESMAN cannot de-
eide, but that Austin will suffer con-
siderable loss unless the road from
this city to Liberty Hill is macadamized
there can be no doubt. Messrs. Castleman
and Brueggerhoff have taken the initiative
in bringing the proposition toimprove. the
road into practical shape, and if others Will
come forward with subscriptions the work
can be done. And it must be borne in
mind that a dozen or fifty men can
not take money out of their pockets and
put it ON the road to make the rich still
still richer, but that all must contribute and
share the expense. We hear business men
say they are perfectly willing to help, but
that they want TO see who else will come
forward and they are right. 1t is no use
to half fix the road. As Mr.. Castleman
says, let ten thousand dollars be raised by
one hundred men, and then the job can be
well and permanently done. Who aresthe
men that will aid, or rather who are they
that will decline to aid in SO important an
enterprise9 III 49, 3. elll
