Leaving Georgetown yester-
day morning, We passed through
rocky post oak country for IS
miles which is not settled much,
only few stock ranches scat
tered along, coming by way Of
Liberty Hill. We found it to
be thriving little town Of three
or four stores, with a good To-
cal trade; there was protrac-
ted meeting going on at the
church, which everybody SEEM
ed to be participating in. We
passed Strickling, a stage stand
and postoffice in Burnett coun-
ty, where they had a FINE rain.
yesterday evening. The crops
are looking much better up in
this country than they do in the
lower country. Arriving at
Lampasas to-day we found a
good MANY people camped
around the springs from ali
parts of the state; some for
pleasure and some trying to re-
cruit up in health. These springs
are really wonderful, boiling up.
as they do, on the banks of the
Lampasas river; they are as
clear and cold as ice water,
some being so strong with sui
phur you can hardly drink the
water, while others have but
very little sulphur in them, and
some are clear freestone water.
By the middle of July they ex-
pect a large number of campers
and visitors, and when the fair
commences, which is the 18th
of August, they expect an unu-
sual large crowd. If the me
dicinal properties Of the springs
are what they claim for them,
the day is not far distant when
this will be one of the favorite
watering places of the South
The business portion of the
town is built of rock, and most
of the houses are good, sub
stantial buildings; the merchants
seem to have full stocks and sell
at reasonable prices. Most of
the people of this county are
engaged in stock raising, from
which they derive more money
from less work than any other
class of people. Our lame man.
caused from a jump before leav-
ing home, is about well and says
he is an experienced jumper
now. We travel in a hack and
camp out every night. There
are several old fellows sitting
around camp that are beginning
to gas considerably, SO will
close. We leave for Brownwood
in the morning, where you will
hear from US again. Cloudy,
and has very much the appear
ance of rain at this writing.

TIE San Saba Nesos has a
very cous:derate article in favor
of the public schools. 1t says
public schools mean progress
and immigration and that even
though our present system be
not perfect, it is much better
than no public schools at all.
1t concludes:
There are many enemies to
the cause of education. in the
State, and in being enemies to
the one cause, they are none
the less enemies to the general
progress of the State, because
civilized people from any coun-
try or any state will not cast
their destinies where public
schools do not exist and where
education IS prescribed.

THE DECORATORS.

The colored convention at
Houston effected a permanent
organization on Thursday by
the election ofDick Allen chair
man, and a full list of vice pres
dents, etc. Dick, on taking the
chair, proceeded to spout. He
wanted to leave-wanted to go
at once and take everybody
with him. He told of the bur-
dens of the coiored race; they
were down-trodden, and work
cd by the whites simply for the
work that was in them. Among
other things it was complained
that while ell other races were
complimented with capital let
ters the negro race was always
written with "lower case" or
little IN. This is a grievance
that ought to be remedied at
once. After Dick had poured
forth all his sorrows business
proceeded by the appointment
of committees on resolutions,
inances-Cain of Washington
on this committee-migration
and addresses. The reporter of
the Telegram made pretty
thorough canvass and the result
of his investigation is that nine
tenths fthe delegates there are
red-hot Tor leaving the state
Kansas is the haven of rest they
seek. For ourselves we would
only be too happy to see them
leave. Washington county has
several hundred pestiferous ne
groes with whom she could well
dispense, and if all of them were
to go the county, in a year or
two, would be several hundred
per cent. better off.

thinks that the Leadville camp

a stir and has apparently re-

ofthe propriety of farming out
convict labor. The lessees of
the the peniteniary claim that
there mas been no wonton kill

well treated; on the other hand
the citizens claim that some
thirty conviets have been killed
in Wood county. There is but
one solution of the question
and that is an impartial inves-

A Meas special from Austin

A Meas special from Austin
says the penitentiary contrac-
tors claim that the reports of
the killing of cohvicts in Wood
county is grossly exaggerated.
Reports sent from Wood coun-
ty to Austin make out affairs to
be even worse than first stated.
This wanton killing. of convicts
is gross outrage upon human
ity and should undergo a rigid
aud searching examination in
order that the murderous guards
may be punished. 1t is repor-
ted that one of the guards in
Wood county boasts of having
killed ~ convicts, and laughs
about it as being a most excel
lent joke. We have long been
of the opinion that the convicts
should be kept inside the walls
of the penitentiary, and the
sooner arrangements for dong
SO can be made the better it
will be for all concerned.
