-" ALL WOOL! .

There's probably no other term in tho
clothing business that's used so much
and means 10 little. As u matter Of Tact
there are three kinds Of clothing
viz. Wool and Cotton mixed, Al
(shoddy) Wool, and All (sheep's) Wool
Too often the first two masquerade under
the guise OF the last named. and only
the most experienced eye can detect the
deception. The buying OF clothing,
therefore. resolves itself more or less
into a matter Of confidence, and where
is there house that is more worthy u
and enjoys public confidence to a greater
extent than

RICHMOND. OctOOer ., 1917.
To he Editor ofdte D'spaich:
BY bridging Grace street from Twenty
first TO MAYO, thence running through
Ross on the north Of the Capitol Square as
in the case of Franklin on the south. would
make beautiful Grace street Of continuous
length and almost level from one end of
the city 10 the other.
This yiaduct would be much shorter than
the other proposed routes, consequently
cheaper. and tho supports would not inter-
fere with travel. the railroad, &c. Besides.

10 the Democracy OF Texas:
FELLOW DEMoCRATS-In the exercise of
the duties imposed upon me as chairman
of the Democracy of the state, and with
high sense of its responsibilities have,
with a steady and impartial hand, en-
deavored to point out the path of reg
ular organized party action leading to
full expression of Democratic sentiment
and the preservation of the integrity
and strength of our party organization.
| should not address you again on the
subject, knowing full well that my
words of counsel are yet fresh in your
memories, were l not moved by what
seems to me deliberate effort at sup
preston of Democratic sentiment or dis
ruption of Democratic organization
cannot reconcile the utterances daily ap-
pearing in the newspapers from open letter
writer's and stump speakers, with sim
certify of purpose to promote practical,
honest methods of gathering and enforc-
ing the opinion and will of the Demo-
cratic masses. Under the cry of danger,
self-constituted leaders have rushed to
the front, and instead of trying to secure
harmony of action and preservation OF
have advised revolt, and
have laid plans for bolts. contests and
disruption. Who are these who deny any
authority in, and impugn the motives of
the chairman, while assuming so much
for themselves? Do they stand upon any
lofty eminence of impartiality, and
though patriotism alone sound the alarm
bell to arouse a sleeping Democracy?
Let their several positions in this cam
paign and their Incorporate utteranoes
Of personal, partisan passion answer.
The damage Is said to exist in my state
ment as to qualifications and methods
which should obtain, in admission to
democratic primaries; is there anything
new and dangerous in my official sug-
gestions to the Democracy? Hear them,
IS IN substance uniformly given;
l. The party has announced no fixed
rule of testing qualifications for admis-
zion in primaries, but trusts to the 10y
atty and discretion of Its members ii To-
sal organizations in such matters.
2. A man should reside in the locality
where the primary is held, possess the
reneral qualifications of voter, and be
Democrat, who is permitted to particle
bate in Democratic primaries.
3. An open announcement of adher-
'nce to the principles of Democracy, ac-
,ompanied by an obligation to support
is organ lied action, is ordinarily suffi-
lent evidence OF good faith. to be q
passport into Democratic primaries.
4. Should there exist in any particular
ocality serious apprehension of an ele-
nent previously unfrisndiy, in bad faith
eeking admission into our primaries; the |
oeal organization should provide an ef- |
eetual method to exclude all such, be- |
ng careful to close our doors against no |
Democratic voter who honestly and III |
GOD faith seeks admission.
No. fellow Democrats, the advisory |
directions l have given you breath a |
pirit of harmony and integrity of |
Democracy and practical honest politics;

rigln to the foreshadowing of Demo-
ratio sentiment, and is being aounded /

A NEGRO FIEND.
Posse in Hot PursuIt-A Description
Convict Captured.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
HUNTSVILLE, TEX, June ga Mr..
stovall, from near Bryan, accompanied
by three other men armed with guns,
came into town last night hunting for q
negro fend who had outraged his (Sto-
vall's) daughter and was supposed to
have come in this direction. From Mr..
Stovail's account it appears that he and
his wife had gone to prayer meeting,
leaving his two girls, aged about eigh-
teen and twenty years respectively, and
three little boys at the house. A negro
who called himself John Brown had
been prowling around the neighborhood
for several days, and about 10
o'clock that night (Mondsy) the girls
saw him coming toward the house,
and thinking him a suspicious character
barred the door. The negro, however,
demanded abundance, and being refused
broke down the door with an iron wedge.
He then caught the Oldest girl, who was
very delicate, and when she resisted him
struck her down with the piece of IRON
beat her over the head with his fist,
choked her and accomplished his disbol-
ical purpose. The other girls and little
boys ran over to a neighbors house
which was some distance off, and gave
the alarm. A crowd of men Immediate
Iy rushed over there, but the negro had
jumped on horse and fled the country.
Only five minutes after he had gons,
Mr.. Stovall and wife arrived on
the scene, coming from church,
and he Immediately organized a crowd
and took after the fiend. From what the
negro had told some one the day before,
they thought he was coming over in this
direction, having a mother here. Not
finding any trace of him, they again set
out in a different direction. The negro
is of light ginger cake color. twenty
one or twenty-five years of age, fully
six feet in height, and weighs about 100;
wears No. IL shoe, and had on white
straw hat; thin beard on each jaw, light
mustache had bay horse which he stole
at another place, with a star in
forehead and left fore-foot white, new
saddle on. The father of the girls Is a
respectable and well-to-do farmer. The
girls had only an old gun in the house,
which was out of repair and could not be-
used. The parties rode out of town this
evening with shot guns, and if they could
catch the negro it is thought an expen-
sive trial will be saved the state.
Another one of the conyicts who es-
capped from the state farm last week was
captured by Capt. J 6. Smither yester-
day about fifteen miles above Palestine.
He is Mexican, and had only five
years. sentence. Only two are out nov.
