House.
BY a Stan Correspondent,
Austin, Tex, Feb, 1.-THE house
passed the bill creuting the new county
Of Alamo out ot the eastern portion Of
Brazoria yesterday by vote OF
more than to ]. The new county has
an area Of $50 i-2 square miles and is
populated by white men. Alvin, a new
town OF $500. Will be tho county seat.
The eastern half OF Brazoria, now Ala
mo, Is settling rapidly and Its loading
men predict that Alamo viii become
one OF the leading counties OF the
statc The old county contains q
large negro population. Young Dun
made gallant fight against the dis
memberment OF old Brazoria, and to-
day the negro Halter forgetting poll
tics and the preludIcea OF his race,
made an appeal to the house to defeat
the bill, saying he would prefer the
county to be lost TO the Republicans
rather than gGe IL divided. Brazoria
county in the 40s and SOS was settled
BY wealthy slave owners from other
states. The war came on and they
fought for their property on the bloody
iield. Then came the loss OF property,
the horrors OF reconstruction ana a
race war that lustrd for many years.
In 1894. for the first time. the whites
made a clean sweep and placed white
men OF standing and integrity In
every Office. Now the house has dl-
yided. placing the great bulk of the
whites ia Alamo and leaving 800
