Mills, Probable Course.

Special to the Gazette.
AUSTIN, TEX, March 23-The Clark peo-
pie are thought to be conniving az the
rumor that when Col. Mills returns to
stump the state this summer he will put in
few ticks for Judge Clark The Hogg
men, who worked and voted for Mills, say
they do not believe that he will take any
hand whatever in the gubernatorial race,
that he could not do so in justice to them.
They hold besides that it would be highly
impolitic for him to do so, and that he would
Iniure himself more than he would help
Clark. These are the views of Representa-
tive Fielder, chairman of the Mills caucus,
and an ardent Hogg man. Representative
Gerald SAID that he hardly thought Col
Mills would talk for Clark unless the ad-
ministration forces should sntagonize him,
in that case he would defend himself as he
sh ould see proper.

THE MEADOW ROAD.
Success Of the Montgomery
County Convict System.
Judge Tyler Looking After the Road
Working and is Greatly Pleased
Over the Progress.

The county convicts are now en-
gagged ON the Meadow road, working
the ugh hill this side of Fredonia
on the north prong of Meadow
creek. This is one of the most i'm
portant roads in the county and is in
the worst condition, by reason of the
heavy hauling over it. The average
is twenty-five wagons per day now,
and nearly all hauling tobacco; some
times twenty tobacco wagons in a
string besides a good deal of other
travel, and the Meadow hill has al
ways been terror to teamsters.
Thirteen convicts were sent out
July 18th to put the hill in good con-
dition. Judge Tyler went out yes
terday to see if they were doing any
good, and if being well treated, and
was highly gratified at the progress
made. He was highly gratified at
the management of Mr.. Suffer. The
prisoners are well provided for and
are doing good work. They are
camping out on the ground and will
not return to the Jail until the work
is completed which will require a
month or six weeks.
Two men have been released on
bond since they went out, having
given security for the payment OF
their fines, $50 each, This is one OF
the good features of the system. Law
breakers who have not lost all con-
science and self-respect do not like to
be seen with a ball and chain on,
working public roads and this brings
friends to their relief to secure the
fines, which goes to support the sys-
tenn and the lesson has good effect
on the prisoners. Two more men
will be sent out this week to increase
the force. Two guards are employed
to guard the prisoners.
They are cutting down and grading
the hill, leaving open drains on each
side and taking out great stone bowl
ders. The stone is being broken and
Judge Tyler thinks they will gel
stone enough to make a good turn
pike.
The commissioners have decided tC
buy stone crusher just as soon as
they can get one, and commence the
system OF turnpiking wherever the
stone can be had.
Judge Tyler, speaking of his future
plans, remarked that the county
would soon be out of debt, and Their
he would inaugurate the system O
turnpiking every county road ano
building good iron bridges over every
stream needing one. He thinks
when neighboring counties come t.
understand the humane features and
advantages of the workhouse system
they will join in the movement al
Cheatham county has already done
and the several counties will all have
good roads.
