Rev. r. Abbey, writes to the Gal
weston Christian Advocate from va
ZOO City, Miss, as to the best
means of aiding the Temperance
cause. One of his suggestions is for
the friends to secure column in each
local newspaper, which he estimates
might be had for about IS per month.
Apropos of this suggestion, we wish
TO remind the friends of Temperance
in this county that the FREE FREss
gives more than that amounG OF space
to the cause. Not only so but what
is Of even more importance, it gives
its editorial influence in the same di-
rection. For all this we charge just
nothing at all. But will they pardon
Ms for modosty suggesting whether
tho paper is not therefore entitled to
& more hearty and material support
from the friends of the cause. We
believe in the doctrine that thelaborer
is worthy Of pay for his services. 1t
costs money and great deal Of it to
run even alOcal newspaper, and when
IT devotes its space to a good but not
over-pOpulsr cause, il the friends OF
that cause fail to rally manfully to
it, Aid. to whom has it 60: to
look for support Most certainly the
enemies II that cause Will not help It
Not much,

The San Antonio Times publishes
letter from General Sam Houston,
dated 1860, at which time he was
governor of the State, presenting his
views on the disputed boundary OF
Greer county. He takes the position,
in brief, that the north fork was rec
ognized by Lieutenant Marcy in his
exploring expedition of 1882 as the
main Red River, and it is so given in
Melish's map of 1919, which was rec.
ognized as authority in the early
treaties. This would give the terito-
ry in dispute to Texas.

A Paper Mill at San Marcos.
DALLAS, Oct. 20, 1885.

DAl4bho, OOt. az, looo'
ED. FREE PREss:-An item appears
in one of our morning papers saying
your people had received a PROPOSE
ton to build paper mill.
] wish you would say to them, OF
allow me to say for you, that, had
choice of all the points ever saw to
erect such mill San Marcos would
be quickly chosen. In the course Of
my life l have perhaps visited fifty
paper mills. Not one can be called
to mind 30 favorably located as that
you propose to build.
The first, second, last and all points
about such factory is pure, living,
running water. With chat given, the
rest is dollars and cents, and one man
who understands the business of cree.
ting and running the mill. You have
the water-just the kind, the volume,
the great spring-with sufficient fall
to turn your machinery.
When in your town eight or ten
years ago 1 called the attention OF
several of your citizens to these points,
and have often spoken to others since
of them.
All the paper and the paper rags
consumed in Texas could be manu-
featured at San Marcos. The town
could not more proftably invest $780,
900 or 100000. Were you to give
either of the sums to company to
put up modern mill it would come
back fourfold in few years.
You have more power running to
waste in your river than was released
by Lincoin's emancipation proclama-
ton in all your congressional district.
Not SO much as one sheet of paper
has ever yet been made in Texas.
Not one sheet ought to be bought
beyond the State. Georgia has mo-
nopoly of it's own trade in it. So has
Tennessee, and Alabama partially so.
BY this one simple move San Mar
cos can become n town of ten times
it's present Importance. This mill
will bring others, and others for diff
ferent industries, and 50 on ad inttnt-
tum. ID. Z. STEVENSON.

At Lockhart, on the 18th, the jury
in the case of the State vs.. George
Shoaf, charged with the murder OF
Alexander King, a negro, returned q
verdict of "not guilty"
Shoaf at the time Of the murder
was city Marshal of Luling. A re-
ward had been offered for the parties
who had put obstructions on the rail
road track, and it was charged that
Shoaf, Frank Kinds and negro
named Perry Upton, decoyed the ne
gro, King, and Thornton Huff, out to
the place where the ties had been
placed, for the purpose of killing
them and getting thereward. Shoaf
was generally believed to be guilty
and his conviction was expected, but
through the common legerdemain
of our courts, he is acquitted.
