IMPROVED STOCK IN 1HE SOUTH.

WASHINGTON o. C.,-The topic was
the introduction of improved stock in
the South. Every one. had given way to
Judge Mackey, of South Carolina. "A
few years ago." said he in his most
solemn deliberative manner, "we
undertook to improve our hogs in
South Carolina. We brought in the
Poland China, the Berkshire and the
Chester white. 1t was OF no use. Our
people have gone back to the old
native South Carolina hog-the razor
back. A hog that negro can catch
will not thrive in South Carolina
Northern newspapers have good
deal to say about the race issue. There
is no race question in South Carolina
save that between the hog and the
negro. a'e must have a breed that
can outrun the African Methodist
Episcopal Church.

ordered collection for his own bene-

Uns0und Argument.

A witty as well as a soft answer will
sometimes turn away wrath. CHARLES
Burlelgh. the abolitionist. in the midst
of an anti-slavery speech, was struck
BY a rotten egg full in the face. Paus.
ing to wipe away the contents OF the
missile, he said, calmly, Il have always
contended that pro-slavery arguments
were very unsound." The crowd
roared and he was no longer molested.

Free Bridge.

Mr.. Editor | believe the timo has
arrived when attention should be cal
I'd to the importan. matter of build
ing a bridge across the San Saba river
Mt or near the Barnett cruising. The
fact that Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe
railroad has given rs The 60 by, makes
il necessary for he people to be up
aud doing and not lay supinely upon
our backs aud see tho taxable values
of our town and county so reduced
that the difference 10 the revenues in u
few years would more than pay for
good bridge, by which we would hold
the western trade, thereby creating n
market for all wheat, corn and oats
hat the farmer could. produce. But
If we remain inactive and do nothing
the trade that naturally belung' to us
will be diverted TO othor points, when
tho valuation of the town property
will be so reduced that the difference
in ten years would be- more than sui
iicient to build good iron bridge
acrOss the river. Every tax payer in
the county is intarested in keeping mp
the taxable values in their county
town, because the revenues necessary
to run the county government must
be raised by higher taxation On the
farmers'and stock raisers ns tho town
property is allowed To decrease 10
value.
believe that it the commissioners
court could be brought to see tho in
tsrcst of the people of this county they
would not hesitate to render tbs
necessary assistance.
The plan that | have in my mind
now Ia for the court to ascertain tie
cost Of the bridge and issue honda
bearing ten per cent interest IN run
ten years. BY that time tho county
would be no settled up aud the values
90 increased that one taxes could be
reduced and the bridge paid for with
out the present population ever feel
lag it
Hoping the people and the court
will act at once upon these snggestinns
and 10 TO work To supply this press-
log necessity, Tam respectfully.
