MALICIOUS LIBEL.
The South Traduced by One Feed
ing on It's Wealth.

ing on It's Wealth.
From the Lawrence (Kan. > Tribune.
The Tribune had most interesting talk
yesterday with Mr.. Don. j. Rankin, whose
arrival here from Reading, Pa, was duly
noted. Mr.. Rankin is engaged in the sale
of machines for the manufacture of ice
and has spent great deal of his time dur
ing the past six years in different parts of
the south He has thus been brought
into intimate business relations with the
people of that section and has an Oppor-
tunity, which has been well improved, to
observe their social and political customs.
Regarding the latter he said that no white
man in the south made any pretent1ons
that elections there were honestly con-
Quoted. The way in which frauds we're
committed depended upon the whim of
the returning boards of the different 10
calities. In some places they had two
ballot boxes, one for whites and one for
negroes. When the latter became pretty
well filled, its contents we're emptied into
the fire. 81 didn't vote at the last cleo
tion," remarked Louisiana friend of Mr..
Rankin's, when the subject came up. 81
was the third man at the polls, but when
| got there they were already crowding
the tickets down in the ballot box with a
lead pencil, so 1 thought it was not worth
while" He explained this by saying,
that the members of the returning board
counted up the number of negroes in the
precinct, and as one of their official du-
ties put that number of democratic bal
lots in the box, knowing, of course that
the negroes would all vote that ticket any
way.
"The result of this Universal and long
continued political dishonesty" added Mr..
Rankin, 'has been to debauch the pub
lie conscience in all other matters. 1 very
soon learned that there was no depend
ense to be placed on the word of any busi-
ness man in the south. The firm with
which am employed sells 100000 and
$4,000,000 worth of machinery in the
southern states every year, and they in.
variably require cash in advance, having
learned from bitter experience that it is
the only safe way to do business south of
Mason and Dixon's line"
"The old prejudices against the north
ern people," continued Mr.. Rankin, 'are
as strong as they ever were. lived q
year in the south with my family, and
during all that time my wife did not re-
ceive q single call from any of the ladies
of the community. If we had been set
down in the middle of Africa we could not
have been more completely shut out from
all social intercourse"
There is the same old prejudice too,
against work and against anybody who
does work. The negro is doing the work
of the south to-day as he always has.
More than this, the negroes have been
quietly educating themselves, and the
time is not far distant in my opinion
when they will own the south and control
it because they will be better educated and
filter to rule than the whites"

Passing through another bead-curtained
door we are ushered into the supper room,
decorated in old gold and Marechal Mel

the guests with salads, crackers, cheese

large bay window, richly decorated with
tropical plants, Misses Lallie Marshall and
Bland Thompson served chocolate. One
might have thought this enough of SPLEEN
dor for a small town like Waco, but there
was one further supper room. This was
trimmed in cardinal, and from the chan
deliers, brackets and pictures hung wreaths
and garlands of deep red roses, while the
table was laden with grapes, cakes, nuts,

ELABORATE soUIAL EVENT.
Complimentary to Brilliant and
Popular Austin Lady.

At Waco on Saturday, at the hospitable
residence of Mrs. j. @. Walker, there was
an elegant and brilliant reception, the oc-
casion being high tea complimentary to
Mrs. Rosine Ryan, of this city. The Waco
Day, in glowing description of tho af
fair, says: "Promptly at p. IN. the doors
were thrown, open and soon afterwards
carriages began TO arrive laden with the
elite of Waco society. From till the
reception was devoted chiefly to ladies and
married people, while from to ~ it was
given up to the young folks.
Entering the sumptuous parlor of the
mansion, 30 rich with handsome embroi-
dered wall drapery and elegant works of
art from the brush aud pencil of many
famous artists, Requests were met by the
accomplished hostess, who was dressed in
heavy black silk, panels handsomely en-
broidered with autumn leaves, assisted by
Miss Annie Bonner, of Tyler, in white silk
with tulle over6ress made wrecked and
elbow sleeves, and Miss Estelle Baltic, of
New Orleans, in black silk and passemen
trie worn decolette.
The only floral decorations which
adorned the front parlor were the bego-
MAS and pOt-plants that covered the
hearthstone and filed the Fireplace Pass
ing under curtains of white, pink and
Marechal Mel roses that hung in the fold
ing doors that led to the back parlor, and
an immense globe OF roses, the guests
seemed to enter the paradise of flower
land. Chandeliers, brackets, shelves and
windows were alike ornamented with
roses. The fireplace was filed with ever
greens, through which cleaned innumer-
able fairy lamps, while opposite stood a
bank of holly and mistletoe. Between
was swinging door, through which one
entered woodland home, a gypsy en-
campmept, where, amid cedars and ever
greens, we're the semi-barbaric adorn-
ments and ornaments of that peculiar
people, not emitting the mystic caldron.
Over this rural scene presided Misses
Mary Bailey Thompson and Katie FISHER,
whose peculiar style of beauty was highly
enriched by their gypsy costumes. Re
turning through bead curtains one en-
tered a Japanese palace, of which the
walls we're covered with japanese ornG-
ments in bamboo, soft fabrics and highly
colored paper; mammoth paper fans,
sunshades, lanterns and screens were to
be seen everywhere. On the shelves we're
elegant bric,a-brac and aesthetic orna-
ments, and il was here that Misses Pearl
Walker and Lila Thompson, as charming
little maidens just from school, served

Mr.. jill. Ashton as Dantatus last night
was most excellent. Just eighteen years
ago, on the commencement of the legisla-
ture, Mr.. Ashton was in this city and
played for about seventeen consecutive
weeks. There was no opera house here
then, aud the business men raised money
and had the CITY hall on the hill fitted up
as theater, and ii was a very neat and
comfortable one. 1t required several
thousand dollars to do the work, but the
money was raised in few days, Messrs.
George Sampson and Ben Hendricks CON

diences. He looks some older now, but he
is the same genial, courteous Ashton of
old, and his friends of days past will call
him to memory with pleasure He will be
at the opera house this evening and to-
night.

GETTING SERIOUS.
Another Tale IN Connection with
the Gwynn- Townsend Scrape.
The Affair Showing Up in a Much
Worse Light Than was Antici-
pated-- Evidence Yesterday.

The preliminary trial of Mr.. Gwynn was
resumed before Justice Calhoun yesterday
afternoon.
Mr.. Clay Eanes testified that he was
down town on the night of the cutting
He was passing near the back door of Cor
tissoz' saloon when he met four men, two
of them quarreling. The two were Gwynn
and Townsend, and the latter said to
Gwynn that he (Gwynn) had told that he
had sent him (Iownsend) something to
eat while he (Townsend) was in Jail, and
that Gwynn was liar if he said so.
Gwynn said to Townsend: "You are
armed; you have pistol, or l would whip
you"
About this time Bob Harrslson came up
to them, and Townsen said: '"Let Bob
Harralson settle this dispute" and Har-
ralson stepped partially between them.
He was not with Gwynn and Townsend
when / first saw them. After Harralson
got between them Gwynn commenced to
curse Townsend, and Townsend backed
u2 towards the Avenue and Gwynn kept
after him.
Townsend turned around and walked
about forty or fifty feet in the direction
of the Avenue and away from
Gwynn. In the meantime Gwynn
continued to curse him. When Town
send got about forty or fifty feet
from Gwynp, Gwynn said to him: "You
are Cd id s. of b."
Townsend then turned around toward
Gwynn and came back and up to where
Bob HARRISON was. HARRISON was between
| Townsend and Gwynn, and the latter was
about three feet from HARRISON, in the di-
rection of the State National (Bremond's)
bank.
When Townsend came back he said to
Gwynn: 81 am the best friend you have in
Austin" Gwynn replied; "If you say you
are friend of mine you are Cd ID
! liar. You are friend of nobody" AT
this time Gwynn reached between Haral-
son aud the house and hit Townsend on
the left breast. Townsend threw his hand
up to his breast and walked off, saying
"You have killed me-"
He went in the direction of the Avenue

Superb Refreshments.

The refreshments served at the open
houses.N New Year's, for variety, abundance
and palatbleness probably exceeded those
of any previous years. AT the governors
mansion especially we're the savory, dainty
dishes in vast abundance and variety.
Mrs. Ross must have been expecting the
governors old brigade,or possibly she
knew the able newspaper reporters would
be there with their prodigious capacity
for getting on the outside of good cheer.
They were there; but, when full as an egg
of good things they were led from the
dining room, there had been very little
impression left on the abundance of
things provided.

Andrews will be pleased to learn that their
little son Is believed to be cOnvalesciDg
after his long and dangerous illness.
When only partially recovered from a
serious illness the little fellow, only 3
years old, suffered an attack of bronchial
pneumonia. This developed into an I'M
mistakable case of diphtheria. During
the Christmas holidays the red aag has
been flying on the front gallery of the
family residence, while within an anxious
company of relatives have watched the
struggle which one of Austin's brightest
little boys has maintained with the justly
dreaded disease.
