that began with the labor troubles some
five years ago, when Fort Worth was
made the headquarters for dis
play of strife whereby the whole
country was for a time troubled over
the labor movements of the many sys-
TENS of railroads in the land. The feel
ing has long been gathering among the
conservative leaders of the parties in all
Tanks here in this county to forward the
gallant stand Fort Worth is taking in
leading the commerce of the Southwest,
and we hope it may find its fullest ex-
preston next Friday night. 1t is the
duty of every citizen who prizes harmony
and the prosperity of Fort Worth and OF
Tarrant county to turn out and lend
their presence to this good work. Mayor
Pendleton will deliver an address of well
come, after which many speakers will be
called on to express their views, and give
aid and encouragement to the move

KHY NOT ACTq
ment.

The need of more business houses in
Fort Worth is on every tongue. The
papers repeat and emphasize the de-
mand. Why not act?
West of Fort Worth trade has grown
up 200 per cent. greater than it was eight
years ago, and it is growing every day.
But the capacity OF Fort Worth to handle
the trade of its own territory does not
grow. it has not grown, it is not as great
as it was eight years ago.
The trade is west of us. Wholesale
merchants, attracted by the knowledge
of the growth OF the West, come here
and go away because there are no houses
in which to do business. Wholesale snoe
men, wholesale dry goods men, whole
sale hardware men, wholesalers and re-
tailers, come and go-and other towns
are reaping the harvest which Fort
Worth has done so much TO produce.
It is time to act. There is danger,
disaster and death in inaction. The talk
Of inviting opposition to merchants
already here is rot. Our wholesalers
know that this city is not a market for
its increased trade, and day by day it
loses what it had because it will not
make Of itself a market commensurate
with the demands on it.
If any real estate owner doubts let him
ask the wholesalers here-Casey, Mar
tin, Williams, or any of the others.
These men clamor for more wholesale
houses, and neither wholesalers nor re-
tailers can do business in tents or on va
cant lots. Build houses.

FORT SMITH, Ark, April 9.-Johu
Griffith, who was shot on Thursday last
at Poteau, 1. T.. by Frank Harris, died
last night of his wounds. Harris, who
was shot through both thighs and IN the
arms, will likely recover, aud if so will
have to stand trial in the Federal court
for murder. Griffith was standing before
mirror in store, combing
his hair, when Harris shot him in
the back, the ball coming out through
his breast. AS he turned, Harris shot
him second time in the shoulder, but
despite his wounds, he drew his pistol
and opened fire on his adversary, the
first shot going through both his thighs
and the second taking effect in his arm.
Harris fed, with Griffith in hot pursuit,
but soon dropped, and as Griffith stood
over him with cooked revolver he begged
so hard for mercy that his nervy antag-
onist desisted aud did not finish him up.
Young Griffith was a son OF the late
Monroe Griffith, a well-known and pOpu-
lar merchant of the Chootaw country.

A RAILROAD COMMISSION.

DO the People Want IT. The Proposition
Denied.
If Texas does not enact a railroad commission
law next year it viii be due to the fact that the
minority of the people are shrewder than the
majority. The majority of the people want a
commission.
: Permit me to- differ with you, Mr..
Editor. If Texas does enact railroad
commission law next year it will be due
tosthe fact that the minority are shrewder
than the majority. In my humble judg-
ment majority Of the people Of Texas
do not want a railroad commission, and
this 6pinlop is based, in part, upon the
readiness with which the people, who
were supposed TO favor railroad COM
mission law, signed petitions TO the last
legislature against the enactment Of
such a Law. 1t should not be forgotten
that the politicians do not in every in
stance reflect the opinions of a majority
of the people. Every one remembers
the ciamor of the press and stump
speakers for the passage of the interstate
commerce law. 1t was so great that
congressman voted for 1T, in many IN
stances, against their better judsment.

Young Man. Go South

Within the past five or six years the
growth of the South has been SO great
that newspapers, publicists and others
have changed the famous saying Of the
founder of the New York Tribune, and
advised young men to face Southwark in
stead of Westward.
When Mr.. Greedy made his famous re-
mark the West was great undeveloped
empire. 1t contained thousands upon
thousands OF square miles of rich, virgin
soil, such as the world had not dreamed
of. When the truth became known, and
the richness of the soil was unQuestiOned,
people poured into this great empire in q
way that cast the famous 40 stampede
to California in the shade. These immi-
grants included not only farmers, but
farm hands, blacksmiths, carpenters,
masons, storekeePers, journalists, teach
erS; in short, representatives of every
sort and kind of employment. More
than this, there was room for every one
of these immigrants. A new empire was
to be buikfup from the very foundations.
Villages, towns and cities sprang up with
such rapidity that there was room and
employment for everybody.
III lDo cOuLu bD0 CASE - sOmtN utL
different. The undeveioped resources of
the South are not only greater than those
of the West, but much more varied.
The foundations for grand empire are
already laid, however. What is needed
now is the supeTstructure, and the ma
terial required for this Is of a different
nature from that required for the foun-
dations. A few years ago young man
could go West and find an opening in al
most any line of work. The demand
for workers exceed the supply. In the
South, on the other hand. the supply of
unskilled labor is still equal to the de-
mand, but skilled labor Is wanted.
IF man has trade-if he is a good
farmer, miner, blacksmith, carpenter,
machinest or skilled in any one branch
of labor or work-he will find an opening
awaiting him. If he has little money
laid by he can take that with him and
reap as substantial benefits as ever he
could have reaped in the West. If the
young man who contemplates striking
out boldly into the world will stop and
consider the foundations upon which the
North, the West and the South are built
he will see at q glance which section
offers the most inviting field to his
energies.

TEXAS LUMBERMEN.

adjourned.

Special to the Gazette.
HOUSTON, TEX, April 9.-The lum-
bermen of Texas resumed their session
in Gray's opera house to-day forenoon,
with President Gribble in the chair
Quite number of new members were
enrolled by Secretary C. F. Drake.
The secretary read his third annual re-
port. It showed that from $40 900 900
to SIS, 900, 900 were invested in the Ium-
Der enterprises in Texas, the same being
exclusive of pine lands. The premiums
paid on insurance policies occupied q
considerable portion of the report, and
urged the Importance of concerted action
for the purpose Of securing lower rates.
The association was requested to give
their gravest attention to the propose
measure, styled a railroad commission,
as it was question demanding the most
careful SCRUTINY. The lien law was also
taken up and dWelt on, and changes in
the law suggested to be presented
for the consideration of the
Twenty-second legislature. The secre-
tary stated that the Texas association was
the strongest in the United States, and
that all other associations looked to the
lumbermens' organizations of the new
state of Texas for guidance. He favored
the appointment of committee to secure
better facilities for the transportation of
lumber by rail.
The election of officers resulted as fol-
lows: R. d. Gribble, president; C. F.
Drake, secretary; Il. j. Lutcher, vice.
president.
A resolution was adopted urging con-
gress to adopt the report of the board of
United States engineers and appropriate
81 600 900 for the securement OF deep
water at Sabine Pass. The lumber in
terests consider that deep water at Sa-
biue is of more interest to them than at
Galveston, but they make no war on any
other point.
A committee of three, Sam Allen, Joe
Rice and M. T. Jones, was appointed to
examine into the feasibility of Establish
ing a Texas lumber exchange, with
headquarters in Houston.
The convention then adjourned to meet
in Houston next year.

cuTsion to the San Jacinto battle
grounds, and will be banquetted. On

SENATOR BECK of Kentucky influenced
by motives by no means common, has
written letter to the governor of his
state, proffering to resign his seat if he
can obtain a pledge that John G. Carlisle
shall be his successor, assigning as his
reason for retirement, his continued ILL
health and his unwillingness to draw the
salary of an Office, the duties OF which
he is unable to perform. Senator, Beck
has served fourteen years in the senate,
and his course has been uniformly such
that even those who differ with him in
politics, declare him to be one of the
most conscientious workers in congress

Arkansas county might well be proud Of
the exhibit she could make at the Spring
Palace at Fort Worth in Nav. This is
matter that the people of the whole
county should feel an interest in. We
feel safe in saying that we believe our
county would not be ashamed of the ex-
hibit she could make. With her mag
nificent vegetable products, her fruits,
her rich specimens of all kind and of
every class, OF land and water, she
would attract the eye of the stranger and
be the means of bringing many to our
midst. Citizens, get up meeting and
have a representation by all means. Let
Us hear from you on this subject. It is
one worthy of your consideration. Hav-
ing secured the prize last year why not
this? We have no time to loose.
