The Waco Examiner of the 9Th
inst, publishes the letter of Presi-
dent Lott, of the Arkansas Pass
railway, TO Col. Flint, of Waco. 1t
seems the starting point for Waco
will be Kennedy Junction, some
sixty miles south of San Antonio,
and thence to Cuero to which point
preliminary surveys have been
made and the line will soon be
located. 1t would be an easy and
good route from Cuero to Bren.
ham and thence to Waco. The
Arkansas Pass road will certainly
be built to Waco, and very shortly,
too.

ACCORDING to the Fort Worth
Gazette Gen. Ross, candidate fol
governor, is fortunate in having
the support of almost every man
in Texas who has been prominent
ly identified with machine politics,
The Gazette is of the opinion that
machine politics have had their
best days in Texas and that Ross
chances for the nomination arc
slim.

Col. D. c. GIDDINGs made a
splendid speech at the Dallas bar
becus on Monday. He SAID that
deep watar on the gulf coast was
an absolute necessity that not only
Texas, but Missouri, Kansas. Ne
braska, Mexico and the entire new
west are interested in it. That if
deep water is obtained the states
interested in 1t will have to 60 TO
work and get 1t themselves, there
being no use depending upon The
government. People are depending
too much upon the government
and paying entirely two little at
tention to tho State. We want a
state government to promptly and
vigorously enforce the law, then
there will be no occasion to appeal
to the general government. He
said our government was one Of
law and expressed the opinion that
thc people had the ability to en-
force the law and thus MAINTAIN
the government. Communism is
at the bottom of the agitation re-
garding capital anu labor. The
speech was we'll received and fire.

THE PRLMARLE

In accordance with the call Of
the Chairman of the Democratic
County Executive committee thC
primary meetings to elect dele
gates to the county Democratic
convention should be held on Sat
urday next, tho 10th inst. The
call of the Chairman is plain and
explicit. The county convention
is TO elect delegates TO the state
and congressional conventions and
to elect new county executive
committee. The Democracy of this
county will not make party nomi'
nations for county officers, prefer
ring to trust to q citizens or pco.
pies meeting TO do so, the same as
was done in 1884 when the present
county officers were nominated and
elected. 1t may be said without
fear of contradiction that taken as
a whole the county has never had
a better or more efficient set OF
officers. There seems TO have been
and there is yet much apathy in
regard to the coming state election.
The primary meeting Is the first
and most important step IN the
nomination of state officers, because
it is only at the primary meeting
that the individual voter can ex-
press his preference for state Off
GERS. 1t is no use for 4 voter to
begin kicking after the state con-
vention has done its work, it Is
then too late. 1t would be 4 glo-
rlous thing for the Democracy of
Texas if every primary meeting in
the state was largely attended and
the Democrats would speak their
minds freely; If this were done
there would soon be an end TO ma
chine politics and machine polIti-
clans would find their occupation
gone. Let every Democrat in the
county attend his primary meet
ing on Saturday next and let
us have a county convention COM
posed of representative men, men
who are able and willing to ex-
press their sentiments freely and
openly. 1t may perhaps be best
to send an uninstructed delegation
to the State Convention, although
there would be no harm in express
ing a preference for governor and
other officers. The indications are
that a very considerable number
of the counties will send uninstruct-
ed delegations to the convention,
and it will thus be left free to select
as the standard bearer for governor
a man in whom the Democracy of
the state have confidence. 1t will
require strong and able man as
there is every prospect that the
Republicans and all the dissatisfied
elements will put some kind of
nondoscript ticket in the field. The
Democracy of Texas needs harmo-
ny and thorough organization.

THE Bsllas News, of July 6, puts
Col. d. G. Giddings squaFely in the
field as a candidate for the Demo.
cratic nOmiRation for governor.
Mr.. Giddings is a strong believer in
states rights, is opposed TO federal
interference through the United
States court with affairs that should
be handled by the state courts.
The point is that the state govern
ment should prevent at any time
any necessity for appeals TO feder-
al power for protection of essential
rights of person, business or prop
erty in the state. The Galveston
News of the 18th says: "Col. Gid
dlngs' speech al the Dallas barbe-
cue is first-class platform for
governor of Texas. 1t is evident
that Col. Giddings considers Texas
big enough and strong enough to
take care of herself, and make her
laws and mandates respected.
There will be Democratic state
convention to nominate state Off
Gals held in few weeks"

THE GARDEN.-A small bed of lettuce
may soon be sown on the south side of
some convenient building or fence, where
it may be protected from the north
wiHds. Early peas and early onion sets
should be planted the first Of March If
the weather will justify, and the hot
beds may be made at any time now. The
garden requires the first attention of the
farmer, and unless it is heavily fertiliZed
and made rich it is an expensive lnxu-
~. The manure should be hauled on
the garden before the frest comes out OF
the grovnd, as hauling over the ground
in the spring when wes greatly Injuries IT,
National StOckman.
CUTTING GRAFTs.-Grafts should be
cut before the buds begin to swell, and
this will necessitate doing this work the
first pleasant day, as buds will begin to
swell on almost all kinds of trees now
within short time. Much more graft
ing can be done to advantage on farms
where there are young, thrifty trees
which bear inferior fruit. Such trees
are of no account whatever as they now
are, and it will not pay to dig them up
and put new trees in their places, when
excellent results can be secured very
much sooner by grating them Any
one can do this with a few trials and
save the expense of employing profess
siOnal CRATER to do the work.-Ib.
FEBRUARY PREPARATON.-Theo best
time in the year to insure success on the
farm is in the month of February, Just
before the spring work commences, IN
LAYING out the summers work aud IN de-
Gliding what crops to plaRt and what
fields to plow up. The hiring OF the
hands and setting the whole machinery
of the farm te work in such way as to
accomplish the most is very important
duty to be undertaken at this time. Ev-
ery farmer should Jap out his plans full
Iy some time during the winter. and
should devote sufficient study to these
to be sure that he is not making any
mistakes. The whole success of the
year depends upon commencing right
and doing no work ghich does not bear
toward advancing the general purposes
of the season, but doing everything
which will in any way benefit the crops
OF improve the land.-lb.
