Letter from Texas.

We come again from Texas, and this
time it is to record one of the greatest
disasters of the present age. 1t win
ever be known in history as ~The Great
Stampede" The stampede took place
not long since, and men, women and
children were run over and blood drawn
without any provocation whatever, as
every settler of the ''Black Sand" will
testify. 1t was the stampede of the
ch-rs.
We are making rapid strides toward
civilization. We have debating clubs,
greenback and Rois d. Arc clubs, negro
exhibitions, etc. One of our ex-school
teachers says that God is proposition

are promising. The quality of wheat is
good, but the yield will be light. The

Every summer the tramp question
GENES up with renewed interest. The
moment warm weather sets in, and the
roads become fit for travel, the country
swarms with idle, desperate men, who
wander from village to village, infest
the fields, beg, steal, and even commit
murder, to get food and money and the
scanty clothes they require. They will
do anything but honest work. They
are always ready to join in strike or a
riot, to plumber lonely farm house, set
fires to barns or hay staeks-in short,
they have declared their independence
of law aud order, and carry violence
and terror wherever they go.
How to deal with these wretches and
desperadoes has become very serious
question. Their number increases every
year. They are banded into societies,
with secret signs and passwords, and
these nefarious organizations grow
stronger and stronger year by year. To
protect itself society must make war
upon these outlaws. The best remedy
is doubtless work. Every tramp should
be arrested and sentenced to some form
of hard labor, and thus made to earn the
bread by which he lives.

70 the Voters Of Giles County.

/ have hitherto addressed you pub
licly and by circular, announcing sew
! eral reasons why the people of Giles
county should vote for me for Attorney
General. / said that / thought that
Giles was entitled to have some of the
district officers elected from her own
citizens, and that thought could pre-
sent the matter in such a light to the
other counties as to bring them to re-
cognize the justice of such claim. L
have canvassed the other counties and
have succeeded even beyond my own
expeetions in bringing the people to
that opinion. Especially is this true of
the people of Maury, whom / have
found to be generous and just, hospita-
bic and exceedingly kind, ready and
willing to concede to Giles what they
have so long claimed for themselves.
The good people of Williamson have
also received me kindly, as have also
those of Marshall and Lawrence; and
everywhere have met with great sue
cess in convincing them that Giles
claim to the Office Is. paramount, and
that my own claims to their votes is at
least equal to those of my competitors.
That 1 am peculiarly the man that Giles
should have put forward, am not pre-
pared to assert, for another selection
might have been more fortunate; bnt
now that l am the only candidate
from Giles, do most sincerely ask my
home people to come to my aid and as
sist me in my effort to elevate myself
into an Office that will advance me in
my profession, and relieve me of the
struggles have maintained against
poverty and adversely. 1 have no high
er ambition than to serve my people ac-
ceptably, and in serving them 1 hope to
honor and serve myself. To the accom-
plishment of such ends, pledge my ut
most efforts; and that may accomplish
them, earnestly ask the people amongst
whom have lived since boyhood and
with whom l expect to labor through
life to vote for me one time. ! make
this appeal by circular hoping to enlist
the active support of my friends and fell
low-citizens in Giles, so that 1 may have
more time to canvass those parts of
other counties where / am not known.
The present incumbent is honorable and
able, but to say this much for him is not
to say that others may not be, or cannot
soon be, his equal. You cannot meas
ure man until you have tried him, and
ask my fellow-citiZens to give me one
trial.
To those of my home people who may
think that / have been unsocial and have
not cultivated acquaintance and friend
ships as much as ought, allow me to
say that my necessities have forced me
to forego that pleasure. cannot be-
lieve that others will vote against me
simply because my circumstances in life
have been such as to force me to work
for living and have deprived me of
the opportunity to know them more in
timately. ask my friends to read this
and hand it to others and to speak of the
matters herein contained, have no
words OF malice to use against those
who may see proper to vote for sope
one else, for 1t is their right to do so,
but hope they will permit me thus to
ask them to vote for me.
Very Respectfully,
LAPS. d. MCCoRD.

TO MAMMA.

If thou vert numbered with the dead,
Within thy narrow, narrow grave,
The tears I'd sorrowfully shed,
Thy tomb, thy tomb would fondly lave.
An exile on the lonely earth.
Each grief, each grief, I'd know and share
And mourn thy untimely death
In Accents, accents OF despair.
And there 1 would fond vigils keep,
'Twould be, 'twould be nv sad employ
Upon thy silent grave to weep.
. As one, as one that knew not joy.
And in the stiffness Of the hours
Il'd form, I'd form floral wreath,
And decorate with lovely flowers,
Thy solemn, solemn home of death.
Fragrant flowers should ever bloom,
Thy sacred, sacred dust above,
And shed the sweetest of perfume,
In mem'ry, mem'ry of my love.
If in one not distant valley,
The grave, the grave should hide thy face,
Where the gentle breezes daily
Around that sacred, sacred place.
There, then, often would return,
In sad, sad sorrow and in love,
To lament thee, and to mourn,
Like the fond, faithful, faithful dove.
And like the dove, would be true,
Till death, till death should come to me,
As faithful be to love aud you,
As often, often sigh for thee.
And at thy.sad and sacred tomb,
I'd worshsp, worship just the same,
And think of her beneath its gloom,
And spell, and spell her lettered name.
And for thy dear, beloved mound
In tender, tender love I'd care,
Since beneath its hallowed ground,
Ny heart, my heart were buried there.

A Day Among the Bees.

On the morning of May 25th your
correspondent; in company with Roll
lette R., left for the apiary of Mr.. j, B.
Bray, about two miles from old Lynn
vile. On the road | found that although
the wheat is considerably rusted it will
''turn out' better than was first expect
ed, and farmers say they will make both
seed and bread. Cotton and corn are
looking very fine.
We found Mr.. Bray busily engaged
hiving a swarm of bees, and, figurative-
ly speaking, this 'opened the ball. Z"
After "cooling OFF, Mr.. Bray having
some honey to extract, we repaired to
the room used for the purpose to witness
the interesting and simple process,
your humble servant having in charge
to turn the extractor while Rolette
placed himself out of reach of the bees
which were flying in and out perfectly
harmless. To describe the m0dus Ope-
randi of extracting to one who has never
seen honey in Lang stroth hive would
be difficult, but those who have will un-
derstand me. The honey being on
frames and nicely capped off by bees,
the extractor takes his honey knife and
runs oyer the comb and uncaps it on
both sides, and then sets it in the ex-
tractor and throws the honey out.
After extracting awhile we returned
to the house and partook of an excellent
dinner prepared by Mrs. Bray, to which
ample justice was done. We then yelled
ourselves, and with Mr.. Bray as pilot,
went through some of his colonies. We
walked through his ninety-three colo
MES as fearless( p as if we were used to
seeing bee yards every day, and never
got a sting. We received a great deal
of instruction from Mr.. Bray, but it
would lengthen this already too long
letter to make any mention of it here.

fell from the heavens into the mid
