Herald: "Texas, it is claimed, will
raise . 600 600 bales of cotton this year.
That is about one-flfth of the world
supply. 1t is as much as was raised in
the entire South up to 1910 and more,
than half as much as was raised in this
country any time prior to the war. 1t
is almost equal to the amount of cotton
manufactured by all the mills in the
United States. And by far the greater
portion Of it is grown by white labor -

JOIN s. WISE has a good deal of the
spirit of his father. He went to the
White House the other day to see about
an appointment that had been promised

Clarkson had written a letter making
certain promises. Clarksons denied it,
ana the fiery Virginian pulled the letter
from his pocket and showed it, He then
told the president that the whole admin

ny THEIR ACTS YE SHALL KNOW

The election next Monday, bes lde,
showing the ideas of the people on the
Constitutional Amendments, will enable
us to see who the intelligent citizens Of
the country are. Every intelligent man
is supposed to understand the import OF
the proposed changes and to have inter.
est enough in public affairs to put him.
self on record with regard to them.
At every general election there are.
men who talk so much that it would
seem the State and County government
could not get along without their assist.
ance. This election will allow us to see
whether the lively interest manifested
by this class is from love of their
country, or a love of the side issues in
the shape of wet and dry stuffs which at.
tend every general election.
A great many affect to take little in.
terest in this election, saying that ten
votes are as good as hundred. This is
not by any means true. And while the
bulk of the amendments are good, and
would result in great benefit if carried,
there is no telling what opposition may
arise to them, hence every man should
put himself out if necessary to cast his
ballot on them and not risk their present
loss and subsequent additional expense.

TO THE VOTERS OF THE STATE

The following circular has been sept
out freely. 1t bears ON one Of the pro-
posed amendments and contains good
sense. Read it.
On the eleventh day of February, by a
special Act of the Legislature, you will
be called upon to vote for certain amend.
ments to the Constitution of the State.
Among them is one, Number %, that
il carried, will permit q certain number
Of men to incorporate Lottery. Do the
people of the State want a Lottery? II
they do want it, why not let the State
have the financial benefit of it, and not
grant special franchise for twenty five
years to coterie Of men for their own
especial benefit? Are we ready to 70
back to the days when indulgences were
sold to the favorites Of a king! or give a
royal grant, or favor, or bestow q conces.
sion on few men? and give them ex.
elusive right to carry on this business?
Such things are repugnant to American
Institutions; and if fsvors are granted,
the rich and poor alike should have the
benefit of it. Public policy demands
that these rights remain with the whole
people, and they cannot rightfully be
delegated to others. Especial privilege
to none and competition for all" should
be the watchword now, as it was
in olden times when our forefathers re-
belled against the special grants and pre-.
negatives Of George the Third. Don't be
deceived by promises; vote against
amendment Number 22-and let our
Constitution remain as it is, bulwark
against all schemes Of this sort, and the
aw.abiding people will call you blessed.
No valid argument can be adduced in
favor of inaugurating system Of gamb.
ling in Nevada which has been abandoned
or denounced in all other States, save
one, Of the Union. Any species of
gambling is vicious. 1t is the duty of
every adult to be a producer--to bring
forth by physical or mental effort, all he
or she can for self.support and in aid Of
our common efforts to elevate the race of
man. The gambler, by gambling, does
none OF these things His aim and eff.
forts are to acquire riches, without earn.
ing them; to obtain the property or
money of others, without giving value
received for the tame. He often gives
tears. misery, insanity, death! Though
the revenue were large to the State, in
the dignity of her majesty she cannot ac-
cept ill.gotten gain drawn from the at.
teuuated fingers and collapsing purses Of
her hungry poor! She cannot afford to
lift the bandage from the eyes of JUS.
TlcE, and let her weep to see, under
color OF LAW, the RICH MADE RICHER BY
GRINDING THE FACES OF THE POOR. Some
say Bring the evil to our doors, to
our hearth.stones; keep the money at
home, do not send it to Louisiana. "
Better send it back whence il emsnated,
and not squander our money at home or
abroad. This attempted, ill.conceived
scheme iorcib'y reminds the thinking
man OF that great truth, uttered by the
poet:
Ill fares that land, to fastening i'll.
prey,
Where wealth increases and men
decay.
