A Sweet Potato Diet.

"There is negro in Georgia who
has eaten nothing but sweet potatoes
for 10 years" said R. E. Moreton at
the Burnet. "It arose in a wager, or
rather an offer, from a white man
that if Sam would eat nothing but
sweet potatoes for a month he would
be presented with S.. It was sup
posed that, like quail, it would soon
pail upon his taste to such an extent
that he could not swallow them, but
it didn't. Sam finished up the month
and got his money. Then, having
formed a great love for sweet pota-
toes and finding that he saved money
by combining himself to them, he has
eaten nothing else since that time.
He is hearty and healthy, eats three
meals a day of his vegetables and
works hard. Cincinnati Enquirer.

District of Columbia Laws.

The jury system of the District Of
Columbia is peculiar and has been
unchanged since the time of Lord
Baltimore and Queen Elizabeth. The
old colonial laws of Maryland obtain,
under which the court can even now
punish woman for gossiping or tell
ing tales to her neighbor or failing to
keep her house neat and clean. The
law prohibits planters from feeding
their workmen terrapin and canvas
back duck, and requires that house
keepers shall give their servants
wholesome food. People can be fined
so many pounds of tobacco for swear
ing on the streets or for not attend
ing church. Green Bag.

The Minnesota Editorial associa-
ton recently adopted an emblem to
be used on its stationary, badges, etc.
The Litchfeld Review thinks it looks
like ''twin tombstone" while Para
dis, of the Midway News, who de-
signed it, gives this authoritative de-
scription: @EBut the association for
which this emblem was designed is a
twin association, in that it is COM
posed of editors and publishers, who,
in most instances are the same per-
sons. Genius cannot exist without
physical sustenance, and the editor
can't do anything without the pub
Usher. What genious is to the editor,
energy is to the publisher, and if you
want symbol for energy, where will
YOU find one more expressive than
fire? We therefore have the torch OF
energy in combination with the horn
of plenty, the symbol OF wealth ana
abundance, crystalized into insepara-
BILE unity with the sound pen over the
bruised sword, or triumphant genius
over physical power, inscribed upon
ever-enduring rock, showing that the
editor and publisher is being who
should exercise his energy in the &C
quirement of wealth; employ his
wealth to cultivate his intellect, and
use his intellect in the attainment Of
right over might, and not stand like a
iackass in cornfeld, all gone to

Tiger is the name of a remarkable
bloodhound that is owned by Henry

mountains of Tulare county De
tective Will Smith secured several
large ferocious bloodhounds to scent
out the robbers lair, and among those
was Tiger, who SO far ''outscented"

THE RESOURCES OF TEXAS.
SOME IDEA OF TEXAS INDUSTRIES,
THEIR NATURE, EXTENT AND
VALUE.
Why and on What Terms Should the
Lone Star States Advantages
be Stated to the World.

To the LIGHT.
In my first article l showed the
wisdom and necessity of advertis-
ing the resources of Texas, and |
referred to the Attwater exhibit
as being a good way Of practical y
doing this. now propose to show
the nature of this exhibit and how
it bears upon the advertising of
the resources of the state. The
statistical figures given here are
up to date, based mainly upon the
report of the State Commissioner
of Insurance and Statistics who
forms his report upon the various
reports of citizens to the County
assessor. They are therefore more
likely to be far under estimated
than over because an over-estimate
would mean increased taxation.
In continuation then of my notes
let me say that there are samples
of fine cotton the equal, if not the
superior, of any in the world and
grown in this section and while
not so profitable as in former years,
the returns show that $3.50 aver
age was made on the acre and that
Texas raised over $56,OOO,OOO in cot
ton in 1898 Independent of $l5, 00O,-
600 from the cOtton-seed. With rae
tories here there would be a ready
market and greater receipts.
In cereals there are some fine ex.
hibits shown. BeXar, Bee, Karnes,
Arkansas, Wilson and other tribu-
tary counties have samples of the
finest corn ever raised and this too
grown under disadvantageOus cir
cumstances and mainly without ir-
rigatiOn. For instance: there is corn
planted in June after the failure
of the first crop that is mammoth
in proportion and bears two ears
on one stem, The average prOduc.
ton was 22.6O bushels per acre and
fair profit made. Our corn croL
is estimated at 100000 bushels,
valued at S32,OOO,OO0; an important
item in the states prosperity.
Some samples of wheat are shown
that are equal to any thing we
can import, but these thrive best
mainly in the colder parts of the
state-the Panhandle. In 1881
there were only 520,2l9 acres cult
waited in wheat. In 1893 there was
a big increase and, taking the
value of wheat at IS cents, over
$5,OOO,OOO was realized by the crop
This crop is indeed profitable, but
II it was ground here instead o.
sending our wheat away, paying
carriage both ways and foolishly
spending hundreds of thousands o
dollars to enrich other states, a.
we have been doing for many year!
and are, alas now doing, the re
