A HINT-NO CHARGE.

Instead of seeking to rally. the Anti
Prohibition vote of 1887 against rail-
road commission, and instead of howl
ing communist at every man who con-
tSnds for the supremacy of the state,
why do not the railroad advocates and
organs urge the adequacy of legislative
control and demonstrate wherein a
commission is unnecessary?
Were THE GAZETTE a trusted leader
for the roads it would seek to strengthen
the bands of conservative men and
not disgust and make them
tired by methods well calculated to in
cense and mobilize the people against
the roads. The necessity for a commits
sion is the only question to be settled,
for it is like red flag before a Mexican
bull, to tell the people they are power
less to control railroads and communists
when they wish to do so.
Draw the people and the roads together
in friendly discussion, and impress upon
both their identity of interest. Let GER
tain roads give the travelling public bet
ter passenger service; let others stop
yexing the public in efforts to
haFass connecting lines; let all of them
seek to aTbitrate claims for damages
rather than force adjudication of them
in the court room; let the people be
made to feel that the roads are not
foreign taskmasters, but are part and
parcel of Texas, amenable to its laws
and workers in its upbuilding, and there
will be DO need for smart politicians to
seek to revive the prohibition struggle or
for railroad advocates and organs to cry
out communism at better people than
themselves,

THE H0RnS OF 4 PROPHET

LIE " CIJDC ILF ii IbCEIIE
Wendell Phillips, the great New Eng
land orator, not long before his death
spoke as follows:
''The handwriting is so plain on the wall that
none but a fool need mistake it. New England is
doomed just as sure as natural laws will produce
fixed results. New England hiss no soil worth
mentioning, and her wealth has all been de-
rived from her manufactures. These are grad
uaily leaving her. and eventually they
viii all go; some to the West, the most
to the South, where the advantages for profta-
bic manufacturing are all located. The
coal and iron in the South are easily gotten at
and inexhaustible in amount. and the iron mills,
the foundries and machine shops can go to them
better than they be carried to the shops.
Then the cotton and wooden mills must go there,
for the raw materials are, and are to be, pro-
duced there most cheaply, uniformly and better.
Then look at the advantages of the extra hours
of daylight in a years run. This of itself is no
small matter. As the South grows stronger and
stronger, the wealth, culture and power of the
country will be centered there until she Will be-
come not alone the mistress of America, but the
central empire Of the world
How prophetic those words sound now
When spoken the Southern people had
scarcely begun to realize what immense
stores of wealth the lavish hand of nature
had bestowed upon their section. But
the last few years have accomplished
wonders in the land of the sun. The
immense mineral deposits IN the two
Virginias, Tennessee and Alabama, are
being rapidly developed; Birmingham
and Admission and Chattanooga have
sprung up like magic from unimportant
villages to cities that are known the
world over; the cotton mills of Georgia
are sending their fabrics into every
market, and Southern iron is overthrow
ing every rival at every point of competI-
ton
Like a giant just awakened from slum-
Der, the South has shaken off its drowsi-
ness, and is beginning to realize and
utilize it's hitherto untried strength.
While the sterile soil of New England is
being deserted by the best intellect and
the best muscle that it produces, the
South Is being rapidly filed up with ao-
tive and enterprising men of every sec
ton, and is advancing in population and
wealth and commercial Importance be-
yond the expectations of her most en-
thusiastic lovers.
The old abolition orators words of
prophecy are being rapidly verified.

Senator Allison and Congressman Nc
Kinley are named as among those who
have consented to go. This campaign
OF speakers and brass bands
is to be used as cover for the
operations of the executive committee,
probably under the direct management
% Col. Dudley. The district has negro
majority of 1000, and ordinarily the Re-
publlcans should have no difficulty in
carrying it, but the colored brother is
now in a state of discomfort and VOWS his
intent to have revenge upon the admins
tratfoH that has denied him crust of pat
r0nage when ne Is hungry Chairman Hell
wig of the Louisiana Republican commit
tee, who has grown rich out of the Louis
lana lottery, says he is willing to put up
SIS 600 to elect the Republican candi-
date, who viii probably be ex-CongTesS-
man DarTall. To this sum the national
committee Is expected TO add a liberal
donation, and with $40 GOO or
$50 ZOO the Republicans are ex-
pecting to capture all the negro
preachers and plantation politicians in
the district. In the rotten borough poll
titles of the Southern states the colored
preachers carry the votes OF the blacks
in their pockets, and the efforts of the
Republican national committee TO carry
Northern Doodle methods into the par
ishes OF Louisiana will make a spectacle
worth going miles to see.

sand dollars in schemes to bring
such increase of population. The banker
whose deposits and loans and discounts
are to be increased oy any addition to the
city can well afford to invest in projects
calculated to bring such additions. So
with merchants, street car companies,
landlords, and all whose worldly possess
sions are to be increased.
Besides this, investments in those
things which give permanent value TO
property in Fort Worth deserves
the consideration of property holders.
Factories, more than aught else, will
give this perInanency, and investments
in factories are, therefore, profitable.
There is not man in the city who does
not realize the full benefit that would
accrue from the addition of five or ten
thousand people to the permanent popu
lation of Fort Worth. Such addition to
the population can be acquired within
twelve months, but it VIII never be ac-
CURED if every man holds on and waits
for others to make the investments neces-
sary to such acquisition.

COLORADO, TEX. Aug. 2.-There has never
been such rush Of settlers to Mitchell and sur

of land agents have settled fifteen families in
this county in the last four weeks, and many
others have taken up school sections in various
directions. 1t seems to have been Just disCoy

Mitchell county as in Jones and Taylor, and it
is being rapidly taken up. There are still about
one hundred vacant school sections in the
county. Scurry county to the north of
Us is also developing at rapid rate.
Nineteen families were camped in Snyder Thurs
county.
Crops CT all kinds are enormous this year.
Thirty bushels OF corn to the acre on sod land is
an average, and sorghum will yield seven or
eight tons the first cut. Watermelons are
unprecedented in size and quantity, a twenty
pound melon being quite common now. Grow

Special to the Gazette
TERRELL. Tex, Aug. 2.-THE GAZETTE had s
call this morning from Jim Gibbs, the negro man
WHOM report had for Terreil's postmaster. Jim
is Sery nluoh exercised over the report and says
it is without foundation in any particular. In
reply to the query, What do you say about it,
Jim?'' he said: -
''Wen, sir, am at a loss. have made no
application for the position, would not have it
if rendered me, sir. 1 have been working for
white Republican for the position. and have
used al my honest endeavOrs to get him ap-
pointed. This is ali the stock have taken in
the matter. L am not big enough fool to believe
1 would be acdePSble-or any other col0red
man-to the people OF this community -
''Well, Jim, why should the report be gotten
up?'' we asked. si--.'
Don't know, sir, unless it was TO iniure
in this community and cause the white people
to lose confidence IN me. 1 would not impose
myself on this people in any such way, and
want the white people to know these facts. IN
doing very well blacksmithing and at least sat-
lshed with what am doing. Another thing.
The people of Terrell have been my friends. I
get my living from them, and feel that ought
at least show some appreciation of their kind
ness.
Jim then went away with lighter heart, be-
hevlng all rough places would be made smooth.
1t IS altogether probable that the report was
started in fun, but its origin being obscure it
soon became something real.

Mr.. HARRISON has a weakness for putting

The Fort Worth and Albuquerque;
A refrigerator;
A cotton mill;
