Association,

HOUSTON, TEXAS, March %, 1895.
Editors Intelligencer The week begin
ming May 20, 1895, will be the most i'm
portant in the history of Houston.
In addition to the annual gathering Of
the United Confederate Veterans Reun-
ion Association, there will be the largest
encampment of United States and Texas
troops ever held south Of the Ohio River.
The magnifcently appointed grounds
of the Houston Driving Park Association
have been placed at the disposal Of the
merely repeating the opinions OF many
newspapers, published at distance,
when we say that no more comfortable,
convenient aud altogether desirable place
could be had in this country.
The Southern Pacific Railroad will run
complete passenger trains every ten
minutes, upon belt line from two depots
located in the heart of the city to the
Driving Park. Arrangements will be
made in advance to handle $4,000 passen-
gers, daily, at ten cents for the round trip.
The people OF Houston are now build
ing permanent Auditorium, capable OF
seating 10000 persons comfortably. The
initial meeting in this superb convention
hall, will be held by the Confederate
Veterans. The Auditorium is upon
Main Street, the principal thoroughfare
Of Houston.
A centrally located bureau OF informa-
tion will be established, which will bs
headquarters for everything.
There will be no conflict in any depart
ment, the work is already we'll in hand,
and the generous people Of Houston have
solved the financial part of the entertain
mont sixty days in advance. The pro-
iu nt roo6xy in oil nf Ito
details, but enough has been decided
upon to insure grand SUCCESS. The old
veterans will be given first consideration
in all things, but all visitors will be taken
care OF, no matter how many may come.
The leading decorating firms Of America
already have their representatives upon
the ground. There is a universal feeling
of enthusiasm, which prevades the entire
population regarding the reunion. Hous-
ton is upon her metal, and means to make
a record which will make Texas and the
entire South proud that she is Texas
and Southern city.
The railroads Of Texas will bring the
Texas troops and Federal soldiers free Of
charge, and these young men will delight
both veter ans and visitors with an excel
lent prol .amme.
There will be music by myriads of
banda; there will be concerts by trained
voices; there will be gala times and good
choer will reign supreme. Tho boys who
left the older States 10, 20 and 80 years
ago, are now Texas men, and they will
be here from every point in the Lone
Star State to grasp the hand Of relatives,
sighbors, chums and friends. Write
I. any special information you may
desire, but if you intend to make any
kind of trip in 1895, let your ticket read
to Houston. Yours truly,

General Manager, United Confederate
Veterans Reunion Association, Hous-
ton, Texas.

In another column we publish some
extracts from letter which appeared in
the Augusta Chronicle 3 few days ago
from Col. Boone, who is now at the head
of the old Blue Ridge Railroad project.
He tells Augusta frankly that the Road
is to be built through South Carolina to
Port Royal or Charleston, unless the peo-
pie Of this State do not give it the proper
support and encouragement, when he
would be ready to entertain a proposition
to build the road through Georgia on the
West side of the Savannah River. It
would never do for us to let such thing
happen. South Carolina has already
gpent too much money on the Blue Ridge
Railroad to let Georgia get the benefits OF
&C. It is fact, however, that the Road is
going to be built, and unless our people
go to work and secure it, the Road will be

BRogLES, s. O., March Y. 1885
EDITORS INTELIaENOER: As the ap-
preaching Constitutional Convention is the
all absorbing question now, and as I have
been asked number Of times if was in
favor of q coalition with the Reformers in
the election of delegates to said Conven-
ton, my reply in every case was mo-"
unless the Conservatives were allowed one
half the candidates, and then the candi-
dates to declare themselves as to what side
they are on, whether Reformers or Con-
servatiye. AS there are numbers Of men
In Anderson County who have never de-
olared themselves publicly as to what
faction they belong, We want to know who
We are voting for.
When it comes to Reformers there ID no
doubt, but as to Conservatives they can't
or will not speak out.
Isee in the last 1NTELLIaENcER list OF
candidates put forward. There are four
Reformers I know and two Conservatives.
I suppose If this is the way things are to
run the Conservatives might just as well
sit down and stay at home, for they won't
be in it st all. We are told there Is to be
no politics in this election, but just wait
and you will eee Therefore, II the Con-
servatives cannot get one half it will be
best to stand off. Respectfully,
JOHN. G. CAN'T.

COLUMBIA, S. c., March 22.-For sew
oral years the effort to organizea a Peoples
party In South Carolina has been conf
IDENTIFY expected. A good deal of quiet
work has becn done in the past few years

list, will make the announcement that he
will organize the Peoples party as soon
rs the Constitutional Convention fight is
over. He says: "The first end to be
achieved is free ballot and an honest
count. No man who, for the sake of any
party, factional or race triumph, is will
ing to commit, or to encourage others to
commit, fraud or perjury, or resort to
any election tricks Of any kind, need OK

- The average man would be surprised
to learn how much wood is used annually
in making matches. There are number
of large factories in America, Germany
and England devoted to this industry,
with an investment OF many millions OF
dollars, aud one factory alone in the last
named country has an annual output Of
10000, 900 matches. The Germans
