SIZE YOUR OWN BACON.

Texas is rich in hog-producing food.
The pecan, the acorn, sorghum, John
son grass, miIlet, alfalfa, sweet pota-
toes, ETC., ETC., can be found in this
state in abundance-some in one sec
ton and ali in other sections. When
the hog is made, Texas can convert him
into pork as cheaply as any other state
in the Union. it requires six pounds
Of corn to make one pound of pork,
and this corn can be had in Texas at 25
cents a bushel. Corn weighs fifty
pounds to the bushel, and thus the
pork can be made here at three cents a
pound. AS the people of Texas pay on
an average ten to twelve cents a pound
for their hog meats, including hams, and
not less than seven to nine cents pound
exclusive of hams, it is not much to the
credit Of the business sense of our far
mers that Fort Worth alone distributes
very nearly 81 ZOO, 900 worth of hog meat
from other states annually.

We Pity the Idiots.
Memphis Avalanche

The Sou thern people have the kindest
feelings for Chicago Notwithstanding
the Industrious mud-slingIng of a part
of its press. We are constrained to be
lieve that that press does not represent
the true feelings of her citizens toward
our people. At least that much is in
ferred from the frank expressions of
such OF her citizens as visit this Sec
ton, whether Republicans or Democrats.
The relations of Chicago and the South ,
both social and commercial, are very
close, and not likely to be disrupted
by the rantings of a partisan press. But
a little less mud and little more char
ity and good will would be keenly ap-
preciated down this way.

Deep Water and Waco.

The reader who had his optics wide
open read IN the Day yesterday the plan
of the syndicate now engaged in getting
deep water at the mouth of the Brazos to
build a railway from tide-water to Waco.
This is directly in line with what the Day
has held would surely come to pass. The
Brazos valley is the Nile region Of Texas,
the cotton belt of the state, and Waco is
at the head of this rich region. Welcome
to the Nile road from Waco to the ocean,
and now for the Grand Trunk, which
leads not TO the cedars of Lebanon, but
to the equally valuable pineries of East
ern Texas. And yet Waco is not "boom-

Special to the Gazette
CISCO, TEX. Sept. 16.-Taking twelve
farms within n radius of eight miles of
Cisco, the average production of wheat Is
seventeen and three-quarter bushels per
acre. This is about fair estimate of the

show yield of over twenty bushels per
acre. The ground is now IN fine condi-
ton for fall sowing and there will be
large acreage put in.
Persons wanting employment can find
it in the pecan region. There is fair
crop, and but little surplus labor to
gather it. Gathering the nuts is profita-

with a white man and attacked him with
a knife. The latter escaped after re-
ceiving two knife wounds, and "Slick
dashed down the street slashing at every
one. Judge Barnes of the county court
ordered the negro to stop. The negro
attacked the Judge, but the latter re-
taliated by knocking him down. The
negro was then disarmed
and arrested. Meanwhile the
blacks hearing of the arrest, determined
to rescue the prisoner. There was
hard fight in which the negroes were
beaten back and four of the ring-leaders
were arrested. The prisoners were taken
to the county jail and the sheriff and his
deputies were ordered by the judge to
guard the building. The blacks quickly
organized and made an attack on the
Jail. The sheriff was ordered to fire on
them, but refused, and the negroes
forced their way into the jail and resi-
cued the prisoners. Judge Barnes or
ganized the whites and attacked the
blacks at the jail. There was bloody
fight, IL which pistols, knives and clubs
were used. Judge Barnes was cut and
shot, but his wounds are not fatal. DR..
Johnson, Ed Lamb and three other white
men were seriously hurt. Two negroes
were shot and half hundred heads
were broken The whites won and the
ring-Ieaders were again put in jail and a
heavy guard placed around the building.
