Avenue Hotel
Austin, April Lone OF the depart
ment officials opened his heart to me
today, but the confidence was condi-
toned on my not mentioning his name
In connection with the conversation.
when asked II all the department
heads would support Governor Culber-
g1n for a denomination, this gentleman
said
''of course. AT least had not
thought OF anything else. There Is no
reason why they should not do 50.
This fact Is attested by the conditions
there is no one contesting the nom
nation with him"
at Is Understood that all the depart
ment heads win ask for denomination.
is Il notr' was asked of this gentle
man.
Il think so.p was the reply. But |
do hope there will be no campaign. IL
these officials have been lntelligently
faithful In their work they should not
have TO 20 over the state begging for
an endorsement on the contrary. II
they have not proven themselves

atud."

department of education, 10 complet-
ing one Of the many tables OF figures
that VIII appear in the report of SUI
peftntendent j. II. Carlisle. This re-
fers to the teachers and their days of
work. and may be summarized as fol-
lows:
The total number of teachers In the
state Is 13.00s; OF whom lO275 are white
and 2729 are negroes OF the white
/ teachers. 300 are men, and h079 are
women, showing larger percentage of
/ men than would be supposed by OBJ
servers confined to town and city
| schools.
Ten thousand eight hundred and
thlrty-one Of these teachers work in
the country and small towns having
no separate school organization. These
/ 1881 teachers taught curing the
school year ending August 81 last,
S1iS2i days; while the PIT town oud
city teachers taught Si4.3i4 days or,
In other words the average school
term outside OF the cities was n frac-
tlon over four months, and the aver
| age term in cities was nearly. seven
I and one fourth months. But the large
| ly preponderating country school
l brings the average length OF term
taught In the whole state down to a
fraction above four and one-half
! Months

Southern Republican. Ii one OF the best
kn"wf and most ponular Republicans
in middle Texas, and for that reason
he was n chosen leader OF the McfSin-

convention. II IL said that he knew
personally more delegates to that same
late lamented than any man present

from Galveston alone excepted. Besides
all this he IL n hustler from the forks
Of the creek, and he did an immense
amount OF hustling for his chosen pres
idendai candidate. BY the way, he lost
moro than any other man in that dis
astroua overthrow of the Caucasian on
the fatal Goth OF March. 1896 He would
have been delegate to the national
convention and would have stood very
near tho great leader But that Is

briney because the public teat enpied

on the contrary he hes already been
figuring on results and how 10 wrest
