strain is over, does he not relax?
During the winter months would
you call him lazy because he does
nothing, and after so long a rest
that it becomes irksome would you
wonder if he displayed unusual ac-
tivity? We can work throughout
the year, therefore there Is no need
for us to kill ourselves in certain
period Of overwork as is often done
in less favored climates. If others
call us lazy because we sit still for
some hours in the summer days,
may we not call them lazy because
they idle away whole months in the
winter ? Yet prudence in our eli
mate compels care in the summer, as
the same influences keep them in
the chimney corner during winter.
One can be called Clay and effemi-
nate" because such prudence is ex-
ercised with as much justice in the
one case as the other-no more, no
less.
We want business tact, energy
and capital among us from whatso-
ever quarter they come, and we well
come our northern brother in pref
erence to the foreigner because he is
closer kin and already understands
our governmental machinery. 1t is
one great misfortune on both sides
that he insists on forming his Opin-
ion of us, our country, our institu-
lions and everything else that is
new, before he hangs up his hat
among us, and those who valued
him at home take his authority as
entirely satisfactory on these ques-
tons rs well as on those with which
he has been familiar from his boy
hood. After he has seen us longer,
he changes his mind, but the mis-
chief has already been done, and
other newcomers are pcrpctuaIly
cchoing his first opinion. He is Of
those who attempted to teach us Pc
culiar doctrines after the war which
they now acknowledge unsuited to
us-who brought poverty and ac-
cumulatcd troubles on the freedmen
because their philanthropy refused
to learn practical wisdom, and they
accuse us now of "IazinesS and eff
feminacy" as they have found us
guilty of other things in the past.
We have many qualities common
to all humanity-we have some pc.
culiar to our section engrafted on
us by circumstances, condition and
surroundings; we only protest
against being considered guilty
when we are only different, and We
assure our hasty friends that we car
abide all consequences of the mis-
takes committed if they can.

MATEys. INDUSTRY.

CLIMATE VS.. INDUSTRY.
Throughout the north the idea
seems to prevail that laziness is al
lowable in the south because it is en-
forced by the climate. Mr.. Eugene
Smalley, who writes up the EXPOSE
tion in the current Century, is thor
oughly- convinced that we can only
succeed by gaining 'Ffrcsh accessions
of northern blood and capital"
''New blood is needed because the
old stock becomes lethargic through
the enervating climatic Influences"
Now if this can be proven, our eli
mate is not an unmixed blessing,
aud herein may be found reason for
fear in forecasting the future of our
section.
Isit confirmed by history? Ger
tainly not. The original settlers of
the south came from colder regions,
and their children would come di-
rectly in the scope of Mr. Smalley's
criticism when he says cone genera
tion is enough to change character"
Heretofore the charges made against
us implied a spirit too consor-
yaiiye-a stubborn bOurbonism
an incapacity of adaptation
to any changed relation or
circumstances. Is it possible that
as soon as one charge is disproved
another equally baseless must be
put in circulation Will our neigh
bors never learn that we are men
like themselves-that we differ from
them as they differ from us in many
respects, but that in the south as in
the north congratulations must deal
broadly with large masses if the
co.oring be kept true to life? There
are lazy men among us and effemi-
nate; we cannot think our people
can be justly charged with either.
Not even the softening influences
of life under the old slave system
could avail to quench the fire, soften
the spirit and dull the indomitable
energy drawn by the old planters
from the blood of the most active
races of the earth. The fields Of
the revolution, the forests every
where changed to broad fields-the
prairies of Texas, the campaigns in
Mexico, the bloodiest contest of all
time at our own firesides, and our
whole history since the inception of
our government, show that neither
climate nor soft living endured for
generations can make us "elfemin-
ate" If the hand which never
knew toll shrank not from the rifle
in 1850, neither did it rest from the
touch of pillow or hoe after 1865. II
the unaccustomed mind failed to Sc
cond the hand with the necessary
business ability-if the habit of gen,
erations of idle ancestors made the
new laborer extravaganza and often
careless of expenditure, it was tho
very richness of his nature whicl
wrought the ruin, instead of that
poverty ingrained in nature and sou
which produces lazincss and effemin
acy.
1t is urged that a southerner may
be distinguished by his very gait
and manner. That fact is patent tC
ourselves as well as to others. S.

ern farmer whether it is harvest time
or not. During the fall months hi.

taxed to its fullest capacity fol

A Scientists Discovery in Texas.


Globe Democrat.
A Kansas City scientist, Mr.. NJ. Whe-
Ian, who has been travelling over the
Llano Estacado, or Staked Plains, de-
clares that just beneath the surface of
that arid region is water in abundance
for the stock raisers. He says: Gin
March last, to verify n speculation of
mine, made trip over the Texas Pa
cific Railway from Fort Worth to Ell Pa
so, I satisfied myself that my former
investigations of that locality were cor
rect, which were that a great submerged
or underground river permeated that dis
trict of the great state of Texas The
head of this underground river is trace
able from the line of New Mexico and
the Panhandle northwest to the range Of
the Wichita Mountains; the outlets are
first, Big Springs, on the Texas Pacific
Railway; found the next outlet to be
near Fort Mckarvett, mkt close to the
west bank of the Colorado river, a short
distance above Austin; then at or near
San Antonio are two or moro great out
lets. At the head, as is mentioned above
by stepping the ground the river was
300 steps wide, and not moro than five
feet below the surface.
"'Here then is a sufficient volume of
water to irrigate all that country, and
make it the garden of the nation, as
much as it is now the pasture. Another
popularity. What appeared to be white
sand found to be white mari easily
crushed or dissolved by putting a few
