NOBLE nOMANS- .

. RI Vi.
Mondays position in the Senate was. so
far, sthe crowning scene in the grand
play which is being enacted within the
Capitol walls. This play is tragical in its
nature, for Texas is the victim, and Tom
Scott the willy highwayman, who takes the
part of public assassin. But Texas is
not SO weak that this moneyed king
and corruptionist can oyerpower her,
for there are noble Romans. who will in
this instance stand by Texas To the last,
and, IL need be, they will go down with
her, not to be forgotten, but to rise again,
like the Phoenix, and become immortal 3
/, It was TO the play in the Senate We called
attention. For many days this same chief
actor, Tom Scott, has held the Safes leg
islation at pause. Children in all parts Of
Texas have asked for legislative enact
ment, that they may be taught wisdom, but
this bold despoiler OF thepublic interest re,
plies that Texas is his, and her children,
yearning after knowledge, can only become
his slaves. For msny days this speiler 'of
States and sraducer OF mens' fair flames has
held the States creditors at defiance, say
ing to them, not one nickel shalt thou have
until my demands shall have been met
Day after day weak men, or kind ones
rather, have been piled with all the arts OF
persuasion, aye. more. maybe, and the ira
ducers boast that they viii yet stupefy

SHOULD the Texas and Pacific bill pass
by less than a two-thirds vote, and the
company thereupon make attempt to hold
its reservation, it will give rise to endless
litigation, and the question will be in the
courts of the country for the next ten or
fifteen years. Thousands of persons will
settle on these lands as pre-emptionists, and
when the railroad attempts to trif1e with
their property they will fight it to the bit
ter end. Would Legislators lay this sequel,
or will they reserve to Texas, instead of to
Tom Scott, this great domain, and thus add
TO its dignity and Independence . ..-7.

THE East Texas Patron says that the
proposition to connect the Mississippi at a
point below the mouth, of the Ohio, with
the Atlantic seaboard, by ship canal, was
first suggested by P. II. Raiford and Joe E.
Johnston and LaF. McLsws. This. may be
true, but the scheme was written about IN
1912, to our certain knwledge. and the
employment of the p-nitentiary coavicts of
Tennessee and of the Gulf States in exc
cutting the task was proposed. There
would be no longer complaints among
honest laborers and mechanics that crime
was made to compete with honest industry,
and the wealth and resources of the South
would be multiplied tiftv-fold. -

backed by national power. placed them in
eosfinemsnt until laws enslaving Texans
could be passed; and no one holds
in moe sacred remembrance the tai
eDted and -ehi#alrous Bowers ard his asso-
ciates than will the people of Texas re-
memeer the men, who, on the day named,
reused to make quorum in bowling to
Tom Scott. No satrap holds the power to
enforce these men, and they become mem
orable, in this day, as legislators who do
not bow to corporate power. The official
journals of Monday, published to-day,
show that these men are not to be
inundated. Neither railroad Fower
or resolutions Of censure drive them
from duty and they will he remem-
beIed by an admiring people. The Senators
from Western Texas Grain, Stephens. Ford,
McLeary, Storey, Thompson and Terrell
stand like "Stonew all, and with them
are the chiYalrous Grace, the incOrruptible
McCullOch, with those true gentlemen,
Smith, Motley, Carroll, Mccormick and
Button, and they will all stand firm. for
they act upon principle. The Tom Scott
power is indispensable. With 1913 bills, many
of them containing constitutional require
ments, every measure is stopped, except
this one for the railroad king, and while the
opposition is thus met, they stand firm, and
an admirIng people will never forget them.

Special Notices.
Travellers! Attention j!

You cannot have better cade tecun on
your journey than Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. That prime medicinal agent
will enable you to drink brackish water
without running the risk Of disordered
stomach and bowels, will neutralize the
influence of foul or miasmatic air, and
will prove a most agreeable and whole
some stimulant and means of counteract-
ing the fatigues of travelling. On long
sea voyages, where the crews of whaling
or other vessels are almost wholly re-
stricted to salt meat, it has proved an adj
mirable preventive of scurvy, and in the
tropical seas it saves the sailor from ship
fever and malaria. 1t has ever proved
the surest reliance of the emigrant, ex-
posed to the miasmatic complaints which
prevail in regions of country newly clear
ed of timber, where the rays of the sun
falling on stagnant vegetation, unexpos-
ed to them perhaps since the creation,
exhale vapors, laden with the seeds of
disease.
Acclimation, or the habituation of the
constitution to the peculiarities of an un-
accustomed climate, is greatly facilitated
by the regular use of this protective
elixir, which impartS such vigor and
elasticity to every nerve and fiber that
it is impossible for the vital energies to
become depressed to a point inconsis
tent with health. In unfavorable con-
ditions of the atmosphere the Bitters
should be used at least twice a day,
morning and evening being the best
times. A pursuance of this course when
there is danger, as the system develops
evidences of debility, will effectually
neutralize the peril.

OUR SUMNER RESORTS.
TATES GPWNG.

Tate's Spring and Mineral Hill.
Granger county. Tennessee, are two
of the most attractive and popular
watering places in the South. The
first of these is situated ten miles
from Morristown, in the Beams Sta
ton valley, and the proprietors this
season are Messrs. Tomlinson &
Drake. Their facilities for the ac-
commodation Of guests, though not
so great as some of the Virginia
Springs, are equally as comfortable
and at far less expense. Their lodg
ing capacity consists of one hundred
and twenty-five rooms. Here can
be found amusements or every kind,
and not expensive ones either. The
billiard table, ten pin alleys, croquet
grounds, ETC.. are all free of charge
to guests. The table is well sup
plied-better than is usually found
at such places: probably because
one of the proprietors, Maj. Drake,
sees after the culinary department
in person, and as he knows how to
live himself, and is accustomed to
the good things of life. he sees that
his guests have all that they desire.
The curative properties of the Spring
is the great attraction, though Wis
it to it will repay even a we'll man.
The number and character of the
visitors each season show that they
are deservedly popular for their me-
dicinal properties. Hundreds of
gallons of this water are shipped to
different parts Of the country. At
present there are a goodIy number
Of visitors at the hotel, and new &C
cessions are daily made. Persons
can leave Morristown daily for this
most delightful place.
MINERAL HILL.
The Sulphur, Alum, Chaly
and Epson Springs belonging to
Mineral Hill Hotel. situated in
the great Clinch Mountain gap, two
miles from Tate's Spring and ten
from Mo-ristown, are recommended
for the cure of rheumatism. dyspep-
STA, scrofula, liver and kidney dis
eases, etc. Nature has seemingly
exhausted her fund of beauty on
this particular section-for in grand
eur and magnificence of scenery it
cannot be surpassed. At these
Springs one can have that enjoy
ment and comfort to be found at
any other watering place. Maj.
Brown, the proprietor. has done ev-
erything in his power to render it
attractive, and has met with signal
success. Mineral Hill, socially, is
one of the most agreeable of places.
There is in its society an amount Of
ease and affability, together with de-
corum, that is most agreeable. The
table is good and the curative prop
critics of the water are testified 10 by
the most prominent physicians in
the country.
