man that on account of bad weather al
the district had not been cauvassed. TIT
first S100 had been received YESTERDAY
and the other $500 would be forthcoming
He raised the 800 in two hours, and fell
encouraged. Mr.. ZuckeTmAn did no
share in the gloomy feelings of some
but he was satisfied that all the money
needed in this matter would have to be
raised in the towns, as the country woule
not come to the front.
It'll dist $50 paid.
9th No report.
oh " No report.
10th Represented by Il. M. True
hart, had paid in first 800, and the other
$500 would be forthcoming when called
for. The counties had been fully organ
lied, and committee of seven had been
appointed to whom was delegated the
duty Of collecting and distributing funds
collected. The state of the weather had
been a dsmper on the movement for
several months and an allowance should
De made for this. There were three
counties in his district and if the
two outside of Galveston did not come
up with their proportion of assessment
Calves ton would pay it sill.
18th district, no report.
18th Is 500 paid in.
18th /" no report.
14th 4" 500 paid in.
18th represented by Bryan 7.
Barry, 500 paid in. The country people
could not be depended on for contribu-
tons. Two towns in his district would
have to bear the brunt. Mr.. Barry said
he was not willing to pledge his district
for the $500 additional unless he knew
what was going to be done with it; he wac
not of the opinion that 1t was best
to rely on the simple distribution of liter
ature. He favored the establishment of
agencies in Nashville, Atlanta and Chica-
go. He spoke fatteringIy of the work of
John Howard st st. Louis; said that Mr.
Newman's letter to The Dallas convention
was the key to the situation, and he was
unwilling to have the executive commit
tee undertake to advertise Texas. There
Would be no trouble in raising the addi-
tlonal $500 in his district if it was known
what would be done with 1t.
18th district, reported by J. S. Daugh.
ertY Of Dallas, that the first 800 had been
paid in and the other $500 was ready.
Dallas yesterday subscribed $1,000 per
month in three hours, and will subscribe
$4,000 per month for advertising Dallas
and Dallas county. Some plan should be
adopted by which the committee would
be placed in possession of q definite
amount OF money to operate with.
18th district, represented by Spaulding
and Denton. He did not have good
report; had been unable to do
anything, and cold water had been
thrown on the movement. He said that
the people Of Denton did not feel like
giving up 5000 when Collin county re-
fused to give cent. Collin county said
she wanted no immigration, had enough
people now. Denton has a small sum
raised, which is ready to be paid in, but
does not think it right for Collin to be
benefited when she pays nothing.
18th district, represented by A. r. Col |
ins, was fully alive to the Importance Of
The movement. Local organizations had
been perfected. There would be no trou- |
Die to raise the $500 and the district was
ready to res ond at any time.

Plemmons, had raised the first 800, but |

There were local organizations in all |
counties in his district save one.

100. The $500 assessments will be raised.
BE did not believe in the state advertis-
ng plan. The committee should get
