Az EAST TEXAS HUSTLER.

East Texas is rich in other things
besides politicians. THE STATESMAN
refers to it's magnificent wealth of
timber and iron ore. 1t is practically
inexhaustible, and it is surprising that
these rich resources are not in more
advanced stage of development.
1t was not until that earnest worker,
that tireless tOiler, Major A. B. Blev-
ms, entered the iron fields of Cherokee
county, in 1888, that a single stroke
was made by private capital towards
the development of natures gifts to
that region. With every obstacle to
overcome; with world of prejudice
against him for attempting to disturb
the existing order of things; laboring
under every disadvantage, he sue
ceeded in placing upon a firm founda-
ton the now thrifty and flourishing
young city of New Birmingham. Tot
tering on it's base several times,
that enterprise would have been
failure and New Birmingham would
have been second edition of Gold
smiths deserted village, had it not
been for the indomitable energy of A.
b. Blevins. 1t is now a success, and
every man who was ever connected
with the enterprise has made money.

not more men like Major Blevins.
Men who are broad enough and deep
enough to grasp situation and turn

Of those Immediately interested, but

conducting it to successful termina-
ton.

In THESE dog days of hard times
and tight money, why can not every
one act upon the advice of THE
STATESMAN so often given-just pay
a part of what you owe if you can not
pay it all. The money you thus put
in motion will be sure to find its way
back to you in one way or another,
and that soon, and then you will be
able to make another payment. Try
the plan and see if collections" don't
ease up and healthier tone begin to
pervade business circles.

A PECULIAR ACCIDENT.
Two Men Badly Injured at a St. Louis
Race Track.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 10.-A peculiar
and serious if not fatal accident oc-
cured at the Fair Grounds during the
races today. 1t was while the run
ming races, in which half dozen
crack local roadsters had been en-
tered, was being contested that the
accident occurred. When a short dis
lance from the starting point, Big
Texas, one Of the entries, bolted the
track and dashed through the grass
at the side and meeting a light
sulky jumped clear over it and alight-
ed on Capt. Thomas Parker, promi-
nent river man and coachman
named Thomas Edwards, who were
among the number of spectators who
were viewing the sport. The horses
feet seemed to hit the former while
the whole load came on top of the lat
ter. The mare then escaped into the
field, and the excitement became in
tense, and to add to it it was found
that Robert Hague, boy, had been
knocked senseless, but in what man
ner is unknown. Edwards and Parker.
who were found to be unconscious,
were removed to their homes. Ed
wards will recover, but Parker's iniu-
ries may prove fatal.

,STICK TO THE TEXT.

1t is surprising that man posses
sing the good, common sense Of Col
w. A. Shaw, editor of the Texas Far.
mer should say that "a few more
years of unchecked progress and
alien capital would in fact have al
most controlled the state.n
That proposition is utterly absurd
to man who knows that the owner
ship of Texas land by aliens is the
very last thing they desire. That
they have been more lenient with
borrowers than any American compa-
ny which has ever loaned dollar in
Texas. 1t is equally absurd to even
intimate that Texas could ever be
brought to a system of tenant and
| landlordism. How many millions of
acres of Texas lands are lying idle,
owned by the state and ready to be
sold to the settler on forty years
time?
Under these circumstances is
there a man in Texas or out of it, no
matter how much of cringing cow
ard or bootlick he may be, who would
prefer to rent land from an arrogant
landlord and be subject to his whims
and caprices, his rack-rent system or
his bulldozing when he can purchase
more land than he needs on forty
years time?
The proposition is not worthy a
moments consideration by sensible
man and the argument is only bait
to catch votes by the mouthing dema-
gogues who hope to ride into office on
the prejudice and ignorance of the
honest masses.
Col. Shaw, however, uses the preju-
dice against the alien ownership of
lands, to work in a homily upon the
financial policy of the general gov
eminent and advocate legislation
looking to an ample volume
of money!" which will work benefit
to the masses, instead of the specu-
lator. That is all right, Col. Shaw;
THE STATESMAN agrees with you that
the monetary system of the govern
ment must be changed, and changed
soon; but that is matter for national
legislation, and lawmaking in Texas
cannot affect it one way or the other.
We are now discussing Texas. laws
and Texas condition, and not a
theory.
The alien land law as applied to
Texas and Texas interests at present
is not only ruinous but it is wrong in
principle as it now stands. 1t is moth
ing more or less than sumptuary
legislation, and no true Democrat can
afford to advocate any such legisla.

THE STATESMAN is a Democrat. II

SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 9.-Under it's
amended charter, the city of San
Antonio recently licensed houses of
prostitution. One of the provisions of
the ordinance required that the women
should undergo weekly inspection
by the city physician, and shall pay
for such inspection 81. 4 number OF
them have failed to do so. Last night
twenty-five were arrested; They will
be fined S25 each and be confined
twenty days in Jail. Many of then
have left the city and the district
where the houses are situated is
almost depopulated. The women de.
clare that they are unable to paw the
tax. The keepers of the houses who
are required to put up $500 each
have all settled.

WHITE CAP OUTRAGEs
In Long Island Town. Result in Pitched
Battle.


Battle.
NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-The attempt
of the White Caps of Corona, l.. l., to
drive Patrick O'Neill and his son.
William f. O'Neill, out of that town
because of their alleged improper be-
havior and cruel treatment of their
wives, eliminated last night in a
regular pitched battle between 400
villagers and half a dozen friends of
the O'Neills. William O'Neill, whom
the White Caps have marked for spe-
cial aversion, participated in the fight,
and was so badly used up that he was
hurried to New York by his friends
early this morning and is now under
going treatment at Bellevue Hospital
for broken jaw. Pistols and shot
guns were freely used last night, and
two other men besides O'Neill are
laid up with gunshot wounds.
The battle occurred between the
hours of 10 o'clock last night and !
o'clock this morning on Grand ave-
nue., the leading street of the village.
The suspended effigy of VIM. f J
O'Neill caused all the trouble. A.
committee of white caps strung the
etfigy.up in front of O'Neill's saloon on
Wednesday afternoon. On it they
pinned a placard ordering both the
O'Neills to leave town at once. The
saloon keeper and his son took the
hint and came to New York. They,
however, returned to Corona last
night in disguise. Toward o'clock
young William O'Neill walked out of
his fathers saloon and attempted to
take down the effigy. He was threat
ened with instant death if he touched
it. He then left town again. 1t was
whispered about that he had gone to
College Point for reinforcements.
Subsequent events proved this to be
true. 1t was about 1:30 o'clock when
O'Neill returned. He was driving in
a top wagon and had four friends with
him. The men appeared to be
strangers, and the white caps soon
learned that they were from College
Point and had come to help him haul
down the effigy. The four men stop
ped their wagon on Grand avenue,
directly under the suspended etfigy.
The crowd of White Caps then
began to move on them They were
armed with revolvers, rifles, stones
and clubs. They halted a few fee
from the wagon and shouted to the
four friends of O'Neill not to interfere
with the figure. The men paid no at
tention to the warning, but proceeded
to haul down the effigy of O'Neill
The fun then began. A shower OF
stones and brick bats came down Oh
their heads and they were forced to
retreat. Then they in turn drew re.
volvers and shooting commenced
from both sides. The firing of revol-
vers had the effect of thinning the
crowd out until finally, after pitched
battle, lasting an hour and a half, 1t
ceased. Two of O'Neill's College
Point friends were shot, one, William
QConner, soda water manufacturer,
who served O'Neill's saloon, fatally.
James Pritchard; another of O'Neills
henchmen, was shot in the leg ana
the member will have to be amputa--
ted. The O'Neills have left town and
it is said they will not return. The
sheriff of the county was in the crowd
last night, but did not take sides.
