JEFFERSON DAVIS RELIEF FUND.
The governors of all the Southern
states, at meeting held in New Or
leans Immediately after the obsequies of
Mr.. Jefferson Davis, and also in per-
sonal interview which they held with
Mrs, Davis about the same time pledged
themselves to do all in their power to
provide and care for the family of the
South 3 lamented chieftain.
Governor Ross, under the law, could
not absent himself from the state and
was not present, but was represented
by Governor Lubbock at the flu
neral.
In conformity with the sense of that
meeting, and at the request of Gov
ernor Gordon of Georgia, commander in
chief of the United Confederate vetersn
association, committee was appointed
to take the relief fund In hand and to
solicit in all the Southern states and this
committee has appointed Col. George
Moorman of New Orleans, who
is the first vice. president OF
the veteran cavalry association
of the South, and president of the Louis
lana division ss its accredited agent, and
he is now in Texas soliciting money for
this relief fund.
MIR. Davis had no opportunities for
money making, and in living and
entertaining had created an in
debtedness at the time of his decease,
and which is resting upon his Mississippi
plantation, of about s45, 900, and the
payment of which would relieve it en-
tirely, so Mrs. Davis could have 1t free
from inonmbrauce. OF this sum nearly
$40, 900 has been raised, and of this
amount, as far as is known, Texas has
only contributed $500. AS is well known.
Mr.. Davis repeatedly refused TO accept
donations or gifts of money in any form,
and il was only after his friends proposed
the Davis land company, by which 800
acres of valuable land in Prairie and
Woodruff counties, Ark. was capitalized
and placed into stock company, with
shares at $40 each. so that each sub
scriber would receive something in
return for his money, that he
would consent to recsive one cent,
and this is the plan upon which money is
now being raised.
Governor Ross at subsequent date
appointed representative citizens all over
the state to solicit in their localities, and
our distinguished fellow-citizsn Col. R.
W. wyune was the appointes for Fort

Lipscomb County News.

The Fort Worth GAZETTE is right in its
ideas of immigration societies and
bureaus. One town will not help ''pull' -
for another town, no matter how you
fix it. The only kind of immigration
advertising that will do good must neces-
sarily be local. That which is done by
railroads is local in its character, as it is
only for the benefit of the country along
some particular line. An immigration
society embracing more than one county :,
that depends upon voluntary contribu-
tions for its support, must soon 60 under

he has found the solution of the one re-

race distinction is intermarriage of white

feasibility in the scheme it is a known
fact in ethnology that intermarriage of
superior and inferior tends to lowering

The Southern Baptist convention has
adjourned. This meeting of the great
denomination is said to have been unus-

having attracted many members of the
church who would not have attended its
annual convention elsewhere. Good to
Texas will come of this meeting. These
good people have seen Texas and Texans
as they are, and not as they have been
too often represented, and they will re-
turn to their homes to tell of agriculture
and commerce and minerals and fac
tories where all was thought to be COWS,
sheep and cowboys and shepherds.
Many of these people have availed them
selves of the opportunity to travel over
the state and they will gather personal
knowledge Of its vast area and resources.
The city of Fort Worth has endeaYored
to be kind TO the visitors and to impress
them with the truth of Texas hospitality;
what this city could do, it has done, and
what it has not done, the visitors will
know it was impossible to do.
