MEXCANS PLAN a RAiO.
LGwIess Men Gather on the Borders NJ
Texas to Join the Followers of
Sanfn Teresn

SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Sept. 1s-J. G.
Lawlings, well-known ranchman of Pre-.
sidio County, arrived here yesterday. He
reports large band OF armed Mexicans
congregating on the Texas side of the Rio
Grande River for the past ten days.
The band numbered fully 300 persons
when he left there yesterday, and their
leaders stated that they were going to
cross into Mexico, TO join the followers of
Santa Teresa. Ali were well mounted and
armed.
The recruits we're ignorant of the leader s
plans. The attention of the authorities
has been called to the rendezvous, and the
Sheriff and rangers have gone to the
locality. An effort will be made to arrest
the Mexicans on the charge of violating
the neutrality laws of the United States.
The Mexican authorities have been
warned and are on guard at the various
points along the border, where it is prob
able the raiders will cross. Ever since the
attack on the Nogales Custom-house
Mexican troops have been held in
readiness for instant service whenever
they might be needed, and there
is but little doubt that they could
easily repel invaders without assistance
from the United States. The only trouble
is that the raiders might succeed in get

loss of various large sums of money which
they had advanced him, will be pleased to
hear that he is now in position to pay

is in London, and complete reformation
of his habits has been effected through the
medium of a series of parental lectures.

Flinders was rather wild in his ways, and

OFFERS RELIEF.

Steiner Bros, Bankers Will Stand by the Public Schools Until the State can Aid. The following note was handed the State Herald yesterday which shows that the people of Birmingham propose to stand by our public school interest. Next to our churches come our public schools, and having felt the need as well as the effect of these important and indispensa- ble adjuncts to the upbuilding and sta bility of a great city like Birmingham, her churches and schools are her chief pride. The visitor is always struck with admiration when shown our handsome church structures and college buildings. The Messrs. Steiner have touched q responsive chord in the hearts of this peo- pie in offering to aid the schools by re- lieVing any temporary embarrassment that may occur. s
 Birmingham, Dec. Il, 1896. To the State Herald:
 To allay any apprehension that may be felt on account of the veto of the late school bill passed by the general assem- bly, that there may not be sufficient money on hand or forthcoming to meet the expenses of running our schools or paving our teachers, permit us to say that we stand ready and willing to ad- vance such sums of money as may be necessary for the purpose of keeping the schools open and paying the teachers promptly, until such time as the bill can be rectifed and sufficient money collected from taxation to repay us the same.
 Respectfully,
