It is thought that the local option
election will DO held again soon-per
haps at the general election this fall
II Kyle News.
We believe the law provides that
in case of defeat of the measure
vote may be taken every three
months. We believe, however, nc
such purpose is entertained by the
friends of local option here. We
think it would be folly TO complicate
the question with the squabbles OF
our local politics during tho cotton
picking season, when the rule Of the
whiskey interest, though the African
and Aztec, resident and imported,
would be still more pronounced. AT
some proper time, when the question
can be tried on its own merits, with
the determination to have fair and
full legal vote, we presume another
vote will be taken, and we doubt not
with O successfulresult. Meantime, the
proper thing to be done is to enforce
strictly the laws now on the statute
book. We are credibly informed that
selling liquor to minors and on Sunday
is being constantly carried on in this
town in violation of the plain letter
and spirit of the law. Welearn these
matters were before the last grand
jury, but they could get no evidence.
The point is to get the evidence. 1t
can and must be done, else all law Is
n farce. The proper steps will bring
out the truth; u few prosecutions for
perjury may first be required; but
there should be no such word as fail
in this matter. To this end all good
citizens should combine to hold up
the hands of theprosecuting attorney
and all other officers who regard their
sworn duty.

Road 10 Blanco.

Since Austin, Kyle, San Marcos
and San Antonio have signihed, IN .
more or less positive manner, their
intention OF opening good wagon
roads 10 our town, a word in regard
TO the present condition OF things
may be in order.
Blancos exports and imports
aud amount annually to some
8, 900, 900 pounds. which at present,
are shipped and received via Austin,
Kyle, San Marcos and San Antonio,
and from the best information we can
the bulk of it, at present, via San
Marcos Austin coming next in rank,
San Antonio next, and Kyle next
As for distance, according TO the
mile stones, from Blanco, Austin il
40 miles, Kyle 40 miles, San Marcos
35 miles and San Antonio 53 miles.
As TO their correctness we believe
that an actual, close measurement
would throw each point at least two
miles farther.
As regards these several roads and
their present condition land we have
travelled them ally the one to Austin
is pretty good mountain road in
dry weather, but in wet and mud the
four mile lane near that city gets to
be impossible. -.
The ono to Kyle runs over good
ground and would perhaps be pop
ular route to the II. II. (other things
equal were it not for the 'frightful
bugbear" of six to eight pasture gates
to open and close, and the Emile lane
near that town which in wet weather,
we are told, is quite impossible.
The one to San Marcos has been
abused and talked down by interested
parties til one would think man
would be foolish to attempt the route
without first procuring a good, stout
pair of wings; but such is not the
case, we have travelled it, and know
whereof we speak. No muddy lanes,
no pasture gates. The only "bug-
bear is going up the Backbone
Mountain from this side, and that ID

made first class.
The one to San Antonio will per
haps need more work to make it good
than either of the others, but still it
can be made good with aproper effort.
Blanco is anxious to have this road
made first-class, for to that point she
ships most of her wool and hides,
and buys many Of her dry-goods from
that market.
After reviewing the whole situation
and canvassing the subject among
some of our merchants we believe
that if San Marcos will open as good
a road to Blanco as any other point,
and offer inducements to the people
of Blanco county in the way OF prices
in flour, salt, lumber ETC., that she
will eventually be our shipping point.
But now is the time for the roads to
be opened, Blanco is not joined to
any particular idol in this matter
but is going to meet pluck and merit
half way. Mind that. -Blanco News.

San Antonio.

We visited San Antonio on Fri
day last, after an absence OF over six
months. We found tho city had made
great progress during that time ths
finest Improvement being the splendid
large new four story cut stone build
ing Of Mr., Kampmann, corner oil
Main plaza and Commerce ST. IL
would be an ornament TO any city IN
tho Union. VIM. Maverick has also
finished his large stone building
corner OF Houston and Soledad
streets, and brother Of his has
completed tho cellar for a similar
building corner Of Houston street
and Alamo PLAN. We heard OF
various other iino improvements, and
the limits OF the city have been
considerably extended
And yet the fact now IL that San
Antonio has not for years been 30
dull M at present There is great
business stagnation and many
vacant houses. In fact the reaction
80 long predicted would seem to have
actually set in, and unless the pro-
posed railroad TO the Gulf shall pc
made, or q system manufactures
inauguratod, the consequences to the
future OF the city may be OF very
serious character.

Our Trip to Kyle.
Fer The FREE Pass,

On the morning of June 18th, the day
selected to play the match game of base
ball with the Kyle club, we started for that
place.
On arriving in Kyle we met Mr.. W. j.
Richardson, who was to be umpire of the
game, accompanied by his friend MIR. Car
rison, of San Marcos, who, after taking din
ner with us at the hotel, rode to the ball
ground with us. No sooner had we arrived
than our Capt. W. T. Hart had challenge
for foot race, and after taking close
look at their champion that had never been
beaten, accepted the challenge and brought
out our little delicate first baseman to run
the race. Having settled on one hundred
yards as the distance, our umpire was Sc
lected to start them and our Hon. sheriff,
H. E. Barber and w. J. Good. as judges at
the out come, when to the great surprise OF
the Kyle people, their champion was beat
by about four feet
Next came on the game which moved of
very nicely, resulting as follows: Drip
ping Springs defeated Kyle by IL to runs
We must say we never saw Mr.. Richardson's
umpiring surpassed, and he will please ac-
cent our thanks for his services rendered
that day.
We are indebted to the Hays County News
and Mr.. Douglass proprietor of the City
Hotel, for kindness showed us, and also
greatly indebted to two of Kyle's most charm
ing and accomplished young ladies who
presented each of our club with hand
somebouquet, the appreciation of which is
beyond the expression of words
Will close by saying We never enjoyed a
a trip more than this.
