executive Office. When our friend
announced his intention to retire from pub
lie lite, aud | looked into the faces of the
senators sud byslguders i was reminded OF
the Case Of Old man Brown, OF Georgia.
Brown was taken sick and sent for doctor.
The doctor gave him out, and Tor the first
time in his life Brown sent for preacher.
The preacher prayed Tor Brown and talked
to him and before leaving said Mr..
Brown, | don't expect will ever see you
again and would feel better If knew that
YOU were willing TO co. Brown said that
he thought he was willing. Il am very
glad 10 near that" said the preacher. 81
have talked with the neighbors and they

in point. We are t0ld that Texas i3 the
CHAMPION COMMUNIST
OF the age. think the senator who makes
this ch arge against the land Oi his adoption,
an. in which he has lived for thirty years,
has Ger ainly mistaken the sentiment OF
the people whom he in part represents
upon this floor. VINO are the communists
in this state? Certainly not the $4,000
farmers who are now NJ home pursuing
their daily ayocstiops. They are men who
have property themselves, in the enjoy
meut of which they wish to be protected
and are willing to protect others in the
pc session Of their rights. The welfare of
this country is their own welfare. If the
country suffer they suffer. They have
always been the most conservative and
lswabding portion OF our citizens. They
will never curse the land in which they
live, and in which their children will live
after them, by planting in the soil seeds of
communism.
WAS RAISED ON A FARM,
and the first tweniy-one years OF nv lie
was spent with farmers, and never heard
n mi m mi n attic idea HIVancpf fill | omit the
farm and met with the loafers who sit on
dry goods boxes ana white, or come to
the Legislature and heard some OF our states
men advance their views upon questions Of
state policy. Certainly our merchants, bus
mess men and manufacturers are not COM
munists. They ask that society and the
law protect them in their rights, and are
willing that others be protected. The cat
tie men are not communists; they have
property that they ask society and the iaw
to protect. The young man com meDcing
life without means Is no communist. He
looks forward to the day when he will have
u home OF his own, and be looks 10 society
aud the law to protect him IN all Of his hon
est acquisi ions. The distinguished senator
will find to his sorrow that in his great state
communists are scarce, and their small
will grow atill less as the state adj
vanccs in education, in craftsmanship, in
patriotism and civilization. | don't look
with
THE EYE OF THE ALARMlsT
upon the troubles that now affect the
state. Nor do | look with despair to
the future. There is no necessity for be-
coming panic.s ricken and rushing into
rash and ridiculous measures that would
in few months make Us the laughing
stock of the state, and of all who ehould
ever hear OF DR.. Terrell's specific for free
grass and rence troubles. The people OF
this state are law-abiding people, an in
dustrious ard thrifty people, struggling to
better their condition and seeking 10 nc
auire competency for themselves and
their families, aud they need the strong
arm OF the law Tor their own protection and
we can sally trust 10 their patriotism, to
their love OF order and justice to enforce
The law. There is much dissatisfaction In
of the rapid fencing Of the |!
county and the change from the inven-
ion and use of harbed wire. A few years
ago no one ever dreamed of the prairies OF
his state being fenced to such an extern as
% seriously incommo travel or interfere |
With the rights of The public to roads and |
pathways.
THE USE OF BARBED WIRE
las rendered it possible TO enclose the
,rairies of the state, and they have been
enclosed. Within very few years men
VINO have been accustomed to Craze their
,attle upon the lands of others have found it
cheaper and more profitable TO purchase
ands and enclose them. Some have been
lriven to the necessity Of buying lauds for
ear that they would be bought and en-
osed by others, and wnie some cattlemes
Tot approaching the changed circum-
tances, have neglected 10 buy lands and
low have no grass of their own upon which
heir cattle can feed or else too penurious
q invest their means in land, and serve to
well the land OF discontents who com plain
f the condition of The times. While the
