The following letter explains itself
AUSTIN, Tex, July 7th 1890.
To DR.; Thos. D. Wooten, w. B. Rainey, J.
I. breckenridge, A. P. Woodbridge, w.
ID. Miller, George W. Waliing and others
Gentlemen The request, signed by
yourselves and over five hundred other
citizens of this county, asking me to
become candidate for the next legis-
lature, now answer:
When have he. etofore desired of
fetal position, Travis county has al
ways, for more than thirty years, sus-
tanned me; l do not desire a place in
the next legislature, but rather shrink
from the vast responsibilities that will
rest on that body of men. II am
elected, it must be without my seeking
if thus elected 1 will serve you, not
.becouse 1 desire the position, but from
a sense of gratitude for your past sup
port, and present confidence. Per-
NIT me to say that cannot electioneer
for the position, either before or after
a nomination. need rest and am
about to go beyond Texas to find it.
On all questions likely to come before
the legislature, my opinions are well
known and need not be repeated.
l o5serve among the names signed
to the request on me those of Repub.
lican friends, many of whom have al
ways sustained me; to tia em I should
say that if nay political party nomi-
mates for the legislature, 1 must be
subject to its action, and would not
consent to oppose its choice; neither
will l receive nomination if it comes
as the result of scramble.
In conclusion, L must remind my
friends that Official place now rarely
comes unsought, and if they should
select some other person than myself,
who will suit them as we'll and who
will canvass for votes, no one will be
more gratifed than your friend and
obedient servant, A. w. TERRELL.

A Trip 10 Old Mexico Frequently Made for
One Dollar

1t is surprising how little is known of our
sister republic by the citizens of the United
States, although it is easily reached by
water or rail. The large percentage Of
Americans seem to satisfy themselves with
the thought that Mexico lie only narrow
strip attached to our country, and compare
it with the tail of kite, instead of know
ing that II contains twenty-sev
large states and 100000 people.
Those desiring TO study different race
OF people, enjoy picturesque scenery. anti
guilty, enterely different customs and more
novel sights than ever dream ed of, should
visit Mexico. Many lucky investors in the
Loteria de la Benefcencia publica have
been enabled to take this delightful trip by
sending 81 or upward to Juan Piedad, Man.
ager. Apartado, 40, Zacatecas, Mexico.

ROAD LAW AMENDMENT.

The question of who shall be our
next governor and the railroad COM
mission amendment are so filling the
mental eye of the people that there is
a danger Of other, and in some re
spects, more important matters being
neglected. There is another amend
ment that calls for serious consider
alton.
1t proposes an alteration in the
constitution which will permit county
commissioners to levy taxes for various
purposes over what is now provided
by law.
The language of the amendment is
SO involved that common person can
not understand its full purport, and

Tax For Roads.

The county judges convention re-
coDmends the adoption OF the road
amendment and the collection Of an
advalorem tax to improve the roads,in
each county adopting its own general
plan. The convention recommends the
hiring of convict labor where home
labor is insufficient. We believe this
plan will finally be adopted. 1t should
be, and if it is, and is followed vigor-
ously, five years will witness o vast
improvement in the character OF our
public highways-Victoria Advocate.
