The TeXsrkana Times continues to
pour out its walls of unoleanness on all
who oriticise Coke. Referring to some
structures upon it's course by the Waco
Examiner, the Times says:
"Thus it will be seen that the driver
of Terrell's little eoavenger wagon is on
another high. But let's see if we cans
bore bung-hole into your Terrell-serv-
ing and Terrell-worshipping carcass.
The Times takes pleasure In informing
Nonentity that when it strikes Parson
Carroll, it does not affect Coke in the
least. Coke stands on his own bottom
and Parson Carroll will have to do like
WISE"
The peculiar gymnastic attitude into
which this closing sentence throws both
Coke and Carroll need not be dwelt
upon. All decent journalism, however,
would be the gamer If the Times and it's
bette noir, the Examiner, were confined
in close cage and asphyxiated with
the deadly fumes Of their own editorials.
The Houston Post, commenting upon
the LIGHTS crltlclsm OF southern polltl-
cal methods as evidenced In all the at
tempt to suppress the oolored vote at
the demands of solid south, remarks:
IF you don't like the south why not
pack that old carpet bag you brought
down here with you and get back to
New England? Nobody is holding
you"
To which the LIGHT replies: "We
don't have to-" 1t will be time enough
to return whence we came (which was
not from New Englsnd) when our mis-
sion of political publication is accom-
plished. When the south casts fair
ballot and gives fair count it will be
time enough to talk Of return. TIL then
the LIGHT cannot be spared.

THE San Antonio companies have put
up splendid drills. or this fact all re-
ports are an assurance. How they Will
stand In the final award cannot now be
determined, but they are confidently
looked to as standing way up towards
the head Of the column. The drilling OF
the Belknaps was sadly interferred
with by the footing OF the Mexican
band, which drowned the voice OF COM
mand and diminished the chances OF the
company. In any event, San Antonio Is
Justly proud of her military companies.
The ragged edge OF an unnecessary fric-
ton has worn of, and the young gentle
men who compose the companies are
winning words of hearty oOmmendation
from all quarters. Hard work under
disadvantages has been done during the
past month. Conscientious, patnstak-
ing, self sacrificing work and it has not
passed unnoticed. Houston must look
to her laurels. Every year San Antonio
is coming closer and closer to the pres
ence chamber of these home rated in
vincibles, and it will not be long be-
fore the laurels will be plucked from
their brows. San Antonio will give her
boys rousing reception on their
return, no matter what the re.
suit and will not abate one jot or
title of her pride in their military
proficiency, no matter what the judges
award may be.

A WRITER to the Pleasanton Monitor
discourses concerning matters and
things municipal in San Antonio in q
way that is neither child-like nor bland.
He calls himself observer" and has
evidently been observing some of our
mogurs peculiar methods. He crlticizCs
most sharply and quite intelligently the
plaza orders restricting the sale OF pro-
duce after o'clock, a. M, and gives q
narrative of some things falling under
his personal notice concerning which he
seems puzzled. or the latter character
Is this specimen, which is respectfully
referred 20 the powers that be for eluci-
dation. "Observer" says:
81 have seen a spirit OF upfairness ex-
hibited by the San Antonio authorities
on more than one occasion. AT one
time noticed an old German on the
plaza with hay for sale. He finally sold
his hay and started to drive to the scales,
when In passing a chicken peddler's
wagon, the chicken vender's horses
turned round to get u nip Of the hay
from the wagon as 1t passed, and broke
the wagon tongue. The chicken man
demanded indemnity for the broken
tongue and when the hay man refused
to pay, he was arrested and fined five
dollars; for what? 1 suppose for no,
having fed the chicken vender's horses
beforehand"
This being the way that matters are
viewed by outside parties, and com
mented upon by the press of other coun
ties, would 1t not be we'll to 'look
leedle oud" and furnish fewer clubs 70
other people to pound us with.
