is patent one characteristic of this
truly great man: He loves his State
and the people in it. The frequent
and magnificent donations to the town
of his birth-Winchest attest this
and the employment given TO the
thousand young of Va, evince his
strong love for his State.
NJ. Rouss has but one son living
Peter-who manifests a fine business
capacity and promises TO be worthy
successor of his father in this inn
mense business.
1t has often been said of Mr..
Rouss by his employees, that he turns
from his door no worthy young man
who truly desires labor and evidences
commendable desire to rise in life,
and that his store has always been
open to those who have lncklessly
fallen by the way-side into snares of
temptation and are really anxious to
reform. While showing in this way
his true phiianthr opy he quickly dis
eliminates between the worthy and
unworthy and acts promptly and
decisively as the necessities of his
BUSINESS
In the front window of his i'm
mense establishment he has placed
conspicuously the portrait of Genl.
Robert q. Lee. have heard that a
Northern patriot and patron of his
house called the attention of Mr..
Rouss to this 'breach of policy"
and was emphatic in his denuncia-
tions of the old hero-Gen. Lee.
Mr., Rouss pointed to the portrait
and calmly remarked: "You do
not like that man, to which his GUS
toner replied. II do not" ''Well, -
said Mr.. Rouss. 81 dc" and left the
customer cogitating on the open can
dor of the man who held dearer to
him the principles for which he had
fought than the petty lucre that went
into his Golfers. Like all others who
have become the architects of inn
mense fortunes, Mr.. Rouss has met
with reverses in life, having at one
time failed in business. His situa-
tton was shown honestly and openly
to his creditors, who willingly ac-
cepted fifty cents on the dollar, Civ
ing him receipts in full for his in
debtedness; but unlike the majority
of humanity, he afterwards found
himself on the road to success, called
on these creditors q get this from
the creditors) and paid the remain
ing fifty cents with all accruing in
terest.
ln conclusion 1 would say that Mr..
Rouss has greatly endeared himse self
to the people of his State and has
furnished to young men an unmistak-
able evidence of what pluck can ac-
complish. From the poor penniless
private Confederate soldier has
sprung one of the most successful
business surprises and commercial
wonders ever developed in the great
City of Gotham.

Wants Sectional Lines Oblit-

In a personal letter to the editor
of the Manufacturers Record Gen.
R. A. Alger, Of Detroit, Mich.
writing about the work that may
be accomplished by the committee
Of Northern and Southern men
appointed at the New York meeting
on June 81 to advance the interests
of the South, says
Absence from the city is the reas.
on for my delay in answering your
letter of the 18TH ult. l am heartily
in accord with the plan to make this
country in fact, as 1t is in name,
one, and norman will 60 further
than l to bring about that result.
I confess to having been somewhat
disturbed, not as to what General
Rosser and Rev. Mr.. Cave said in
their speeches at Richmond, but
for the fear that in the absence of a
direct rebuke from the Southern
press it might be Justly considered
that they voiced large sentiment
in the South. However, l am very
glad of the assurance from your
self and others that sectional feel
ing has largely disappeared, and
that the utteranCes referred to do
not represent the better element
Of the South. With all conditions
equally favorable to all men.
With its great resources and
opportunities for investments il
must grow if men who wish to
go there are properly encouraged
by the better element of those
who reside there ! shall be glad,
indeed, when states are known by
their names only, and not by
there location; when latitute and
longitude are forgotten, and our
whole people considered as one.

The Republican Candidate for Gov
ernor, Has a Word.

| The Republican Candidate for Gov
ernor, Has a Word.
The reporter Of the Dallas News
gives the following as an interview
with Mr.. j. d. Schmitz, the Repub-
can candidate for governor:
II shall not make a very thor
ough canvass, but shall make as
much Of one as | am able. shall
see, of course, that the principles
we are fighting for are properly
presented to the people of Texas. |
am going to see to it that every
body in Texas knows that hereafter
the Republican party in Texas is
respectable, and that a man can
come to our conventions and par
ticipate in our councils without
humiliation. We welcome all men
who believe in Republican princi-
pie for principles sake above and
beyond any considerations ofspoils.
We are not after the offices. There
are no pap-suCkers in our party.
We give them representation aC-
cording to his numbers. Nothing
can be more just than that. Intel
ligent negroes are seeing what we
have seen for long time, that the
negro is a drawback to the Repub-
lican party. He has, by moving in
a solid mass, led by men whose GU
pidity was far above any question
of patriotism, so dominated and
controlled the policy of the party
as to make it humiliating spec
tacle for a white man to affiliate
with the party in Texas.
There are thousands of influen-
tial Republicans in Texas, men OF
means and of commercial promi-
hence, who will join the organiza-
tion and vote the ticket when once
white supremacy in the party is
assured. There are thousands of
men voting the Democratic ticket
contrary to their convictions be-
cause they are unwilling to sacri-
flee everything to become Re-
publican. Now we have something
to offer them. We have a nucleus
around which the Republicans can
rally. We have an organization
which may not be felt now, but it
will be power in Texas at no dis
tant day. We propose to carry the
ark Of the covenant all over this
good land and everywhere invite
men who believe in Republican
principles to come and worship.
GAS 1 have said always, we do
not hope to elect our ticket this
time. We are not fools nor blind,
but we do hope to show to the peo-
pie that great majority Of the
patriotic Republicans Of Texas are
with us. And when we have the
confidence of our party the results
will begin to fall into line"
"When will you open your cam.
paign ?"
GAS soon as / can find the time !
shall address an open letter to the
people of Texas, setting forth our
platform and aims, and then | will
make my appointments"

COME SOUTH.

A dispatch from Topeka, Kans-
as, says of the Western part of the
State:
The people of that section are
lily prepared to withstand another
crop failure. Hundreds of farmers
are without means to buy provisions
to tide them over another year, and
the prospects Of another failure will
force many to leave the country.
Estate Senator WilCockson, of
Logan county, said today that the
people of that region would have to
leave and abandon the prairies for
stock ranches if the crops failed
again this year. The people have
held on with the hope that the
climatic conditions would change,
but they can remain no longer, and
will be forced 10 leave before and
another cold winter comes.
thousands Of farmers lost all
they possessed by remaing in West
ern Kansas waiting for a crop.
Year after year they have seen their
corn and wheat withered by the
hot winds, while they have been
compelled to dispose Of all their
surplus stock to get money to buy
bread and seed"
Look here, upon this picture
and on this" The great West parch-
ed by drought, impoverished by the
failue other staple crops, threatened
by famine, her people discouraged,
depressed, depleted in purse, COM
PEELED to seek other homes and be-
gin life's battle anew. The South,
on the other hand, has been spared
all such disaster. Her generous
soil has responded and is respond
ing richly to the invitation of the
toiler; her fields of waving grain
ripen in due season; her orchards
TEEN with luscious fruits; her truck
gardens display varied and amazing
produce; her staple fields of rice,
cotton and tobacco furnish, unim-
paired, the exports upon which other
sections rely; her great water
power awaits the stimulus of the
manufacturers touch; her hardors
and seaport invite increased COM
umrication with other lands
through the medium of commerce.
The South is pre-eminently the
land of hope, the land of prospect.
