Accompanying the following editorial
from the Topeka (Kan.) Capital Of July

it might be interesting to you in conGec-

miles along the coast, to the west and

THE COTTON MILL.

To secure the cotton mill requires the
hearty cooperation of all who are able
to invest for thier future enrichment.
The committee of solicitation are not at
work on a scheme to promote any indi-
viduaI interest, and they should be
given prompt attention A few men
cannot subscribe the 500 600 required g,
and would not do it if they
could and should not be expected to do
it: If the benefits to result from the
establishment of manufacturing enter
prises in Fort Worth were confined to
few the few should invest the money
necessary to. secure the factories; but as
the benefits are not disputed by any
and as they viii be equitably distributed 8,
every man should invest according to his
interest in those benefits. To begin the
fall season with the erection of a cotton
mill, a wooden mill and a stove factory
would sensibly affect the values and
trade of Fort Worth, for these
institutions, added to the stockyards and
other important manufacturing enter
prises already in operation, would tend to
give that permanency to values here
which would attract both people in great
numbers and capital in large amount.
The stove factory and wooden mill
are assured, THE GAZETTE is informed,
and this paper ventures to predict that
the addition of the cotton mill VIII result

lies in the advancement of Fort Worth

Subscriptions Raised for an Artesian Well.
The Value of Irrigated Lands.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
SAN ANGELO, TEX. Aug. 5.-A move
to sink an artesian well is on foot. Sub
scriptions are being rapidly raised, and q
company viii be organized, officers
elected and a test well sunk in town or
on some of the farms near town soon.
If artesian water can be secured at rea-
sOnable cost the water supply question is
solved The Lipen fiat, one of the finest
bodies of land on the globe, will be made
to blossom like rose if a dozen artesian
wells can be sunk on its broad, level
plains. IF the move is successful you
may look for decided adj
vance i'll prices of lands in this
section. Irrigated farms are the finest
III the world. There can never be fail

IDLY rich With sufficient water this is
destined to become the garden spot of
Texas.

brated in the South by ex-COnfederate
reunions, and why nOt2

All kinds of crops are splendid in the

meus of thoroughbreds here as can be
found anywhere.

three of his brothers, stockmen and

groes alike dividing upon those questions
that affect different localities differently;
then VIII it be impossible to tell man s
politics by the color of mis- skin. This
will solve the race problem, so far as it
concerns politics, and the social part of
it will very soon solve itself.
But there is little hope that this will be
done as long as the Republican party
dominates the North. 1t is the party of
sectionalism, welded to the spoils of
office, and determined to keep its hold at
any sacrifice What matters it to the
Republican looter that rage which his
sectlonalism inspires endangers the suf-
frage of the negro or the civilization of
the white, so long as it serves to fire the
Northern heart and perpetuate his hold
upon the public teat? What cares he
who bIeeds if his official hide remains I'M
punctured?
If the people of the North love the
negro for his own sake, and not
for his vote; if they would see his social
and industrial condition bettered; if they
would elevate his understanding and en-
Tighten his intellect, let them assist in
hurting from power the party that, while
protesting to be his best friend is, in
deed, his dearest foe; let them encour-
age the negro to go to the white man of
the South, put his hand in his and say,
''Lead me.
There he will find a hand firm and
strong and sturdy; a hand that never
was drawn back from a friend who
needed its help; a hand that will guide
and guard and sustain him through all
the responsibilities the trials and trou-
bles and vicissitudes that are part of the
heritage of a free people.
In this way can the friends of the ne
gro who reside north of Mason and
Dixon s line best aid in solving the great
race problem.
The time viii come when the negro
will recognize in the white people of the
South his best friend, and will look to
him for leadership. Then, and not till
then, will the race question be settled.
Patriots will do what they can to
hasten the day.

THE THURBER MINES.
One of the Most Flourishing Mining Camps
in the Whole Country

One of the Most F!ourishing Mining Camps
in the Whole Country
Correspondence of the Gazette.
THURBEE, TEX. Aug. Our mines
are still booming. We have Il popula-
ton of 1900 and new miners are arriving
daily, and the most pleasing fact about
the Thurher coal mines is that all of
the labOriug people are bitterly opposed
to stTikes-believing them to be a curse
to al laboTers-a bane to civilization.
Here capital and labor are on the best
of terms and are working III harmony
treating each other IS friends. The
Texas and Pacific coal company see
that every want of their employees is
furnished. The employees make the COM
pany's interest their interest, and it is
Il fact there is not dissatisfied miner
here, and probably this is the only min
ing camp in the United States where
such is the case and where GOOD schools
and churches are tIourishing, and with
out doubt Thurber is as orderly aud
quiet a place as any village or town in
Texas.
The average daily output of coal is 400
tons. We have about two hundred and
fifty houses and lumber ordered for sixty
more. The company are now erecting a
gin and grist null, drug store and bakery,
and we shall in the future have rail-
road connecting the mines with Southern
Texas. AS these mines are the only coal
mines in operation in Texas worked by
an intelligent lot of miners, men whom
we welcome among us as citizens and
who are friendly to capital and all enter
prises, every railroad and factory in
Texas ought to give the Texas and Pa
cifc coal company the warmest support.

An interesting history of an old and
well known comic tune was given BY
Professor Ensel, a music teacher. in a
speech in the music teachers association
yesterday. He SAID that when the army
of the first Napoleon was in Egypt in
1893 the camp for awhile was near the
pyramids. One afternoon about sunset
the band was playing. The inhabitants
of the desert had collected near and
were listening to the music. Nothing
unusual happened until the band struck

name OF ''We Won't Go Home Till
