An Appreciatiye Letter.

GRANnURRY, TEXAS, Sept. 20, 1900.
To tho Editors Of Keo,oee Courier:
I bog to express my appreciation Of tho
sound doctrine rs announced in tho cdito-
rial columns IF tho COURIER in its issue
Of tho 18th instant. ..>
The great mass Of the good people of
tho old Commonwealth of South Caro-
lima, my native Stote, arc still thoroughly
Democratic in their political views, and
If they have boon influenced by false
issues In tho late canvass, or have been
following tho leadership Of men without
experience in Statc-craft, I think it can
be safely said thoy have lost nothing of
patriotism, virtue or loyalty to tho best
interests of tho State.
Con. Bratton and Col. Haskell know az
wolf rs " do that tho common people,
tho plcbians of that State, can DO trusted
to do their duty in times that try mons
souls, IS they did On that dark Cay iii
October, ita4, when Tho Cenoral, lending
his people in tho face of tl,o onemy, was
shot from his horse by q II ~ercilcss mis-
sile, and OH that Same memo.a able day tho
body OF tho Colonel was lof, rs dead on
the battlefield, and shamof,lly robbed
by c~owardly stragglers of tho enomy.
They arc both truo mon to-day and will
stand or full with their own eoplo, who
thor guided by skillful leaders or not.
Pardon this seeming intrusion of one
outside of his native State lines, but still
with you inside Of tho Democratic party
lines, tho doctrines and principles Of
which arc our only hopo for good govern
mont.
Truly yours,

An Interesting Letter From Liverpool
Cattle Firm on Texas Cattle.
LIVERPOOL, April 10, 1880. !

LIVERPOOL, April 10, 1890. :
To the Editor Of the Gazette.
Having seen in the Fort Worth newspapers the
accounts Of the meeting Of the cattleraisers,
s,c and the remarks MADE by one of their num-
her regarding the proposed shipments of cattle
and meat. etc, direct 10 England, we venture
N make a few remarks as regards the latter
There is no doubt that Texas people viii have
hit the night nail on the head, providing they go
right in and act One thing is quite certain,
and that's. that they have all these years just
quietly looked and accepted starvation
1,rjces for their cattle while the great guns
oi Chicago. st. Louis, Kansas City, New York,
etc. have been coming money which ought to,
and could easily have gone into their Lthe Texas
raisersI own pockets. Here are the American
cattle Of the best quality selling in Liverpool
for about ~ SllGl per head, and still the Tex
ans are apparently content to sell their cattle to
Northern men for a mere song compared to
what they could DO and realize IN Liverpool and
other parts Of Great Britain if sent direct here.
Here is your market, and still you let others
make the money out of your cattle instead of
shipping them direct to Liverpool and the con-
suners and pocketing the money yourselves.
We trust your people are awakening at last and
that they viii aCt.I
There has Just landed here, via New Orleans,
from some part of Texas 20 cattle which were
rough grade still they were sold for SIC (SS0)
each. They were small beasts. weighing when
dressed only about twenty-nine stones or $50
pounds of dead meat. Therefore the price was
Just about thirteen and One-half cents
per pound. The steamer freight pads
on them was g SD per head. Now your peo-
pie can calculate for themselves, and these fig
ures speak for themselves.
There is plenty of steamer space available,
and If s syndicate was formed in Fort Worth
amongst the cattle men. they could easily en-
gage all the space on a line of steamers at an
agreed on freight per head, for say three months
with the option of renewing for any period at
the end OF that time, and we would be very glad
TO undertake 10 arrange this in Liverpool direct
with the steamship firms, and give any informa-
ton TO those who viii communicate with US.
We may finish up by just mentioning that
Il IS understood here that some of the Northern
mlddiemen are connected with these cattle we
nave mentioned, so it appears they are coming
HSht on to your own grounds now. We are
yours faithfully. SPINKs & Co.,

WAS BLOWN THROUGH THE TUBE.

Chambermaid Annie Martin Driven Into venAs
tilating Shaft.
SPOKANE FALLS, WASH, April 2O.-Chamber-
maid Annie Martin from Chicago was blown
headlong through pneumatic tube at the new
Hotel Spokane to-day and barely escaped death.
In some way she caught by the wings of
the ventilating fan and hurled into the sheet
iron pipe which carries fumes from the kitchen
revolutions a minute, and the blast drove the
unfortunate girl up the escape pipe to the point
where it narrowed at the second story. Here
her clothing wedged her fast. Her muffied
screams drew help, the pipe was cut just below
where she had lodged and the prisoner re-
leased, badly frightened but otherwise unhurt.
