PRESERVE THE HISTORIC FIELDS.


1t begins to look at last as II the "Daugh-
ters of the Republic would be rewarded
for their long and patriotic iabors by seeing
the battlefield Of San Jaclnto become an
attractive State park-a contamination that
should have been witnessed years ago for
that matter.
Texas has been shamefully neglectful in
the premises.
As declared by Senator Beail In his re-
marks upon Senator Burns bill, Il the old
historic BATTLEFIELD had been located in New
York. or Pennsylvania or dozen other
States that could be named. 1t would long
ago have been transformed into a mag
nincent pablo park. Our people generally
DO aot seem to have appreciated the fact
that the San Jacinto battle-ground ia al
most sacred as the real birth place of a
new empire In the new world Its historic
Significance is second to no spot In America
unless It be Lexington, or Bunker Hill. To
preserve It to the public for ages to come
should have been one of the first inspira-
tons OF Texas legislation and Texas clti-
Eenshlp
The general government has been setting
The States an admirable example OF late
years. The great battlefelds OF the civil
war are being preserved as public parks
and thousands OF dollars are being ex-
pended upon them. They are tho sacred
spots of American soll--the places OF In
Ipiraton for future generations. tho sites

mate and perpetuato the memory OF great
deeds OF the past may confidently look for

occasion demands. Patriotism and noble
sentiment 1.-Two upon great memories and

From sordid dollars and cents standpoint

ATTEMPTED OUTRAGE
NEGRO ASSAULTED A WIDOW NEAR
kERENs.
Posse Fired on Him but Failed to
Hit Him and He Was Taken to
COrsicnna.

Corsicana, Texas, March 25.-A bastard
" attempt was made to outrage Mrs. Pink
Waldorf. a widow lady with several small
children. living in Kerens, a small town
east OF here on the Cotton Belt railroad
and near the county line Of Navarro and
Henderson counties. About o'clock this
morning a negro. whom Mrs. Waldorf rec
ognized as George Harris, waiter in a
restaurant at Kerens. went to Mrs. Wal
DROPS dwelling and broke into her sleep
ing apartments through window. When
discovered by Mrs. Waldrop. the negro was
sitting on the side of her bed. When the
negro found that he had been discovered he
asked II he was recognized and threatened
instant death by shooting with a pistol,
which he held in his hand, II lie was.
Mrs. Waldrop informed him that she did
not know him and the struggle of the
brute began. Mrs. Waldrop succeeded in
forcing him away from her and through
fear Of impending danger to his life he left
the house after having obtained a promise
from Mrs. Waldrop that she would not d.
vulge what had taken place during the
night for forty EIGHT hours.
This morning at daybreak she informed
neighbor Of what occurred during the
night. and the party conveyed the informa-
ton to the city marshal Of Kerens, who
found Harris at work in restaurant. but
on the way to the calaboose Harris over
powered the marshal. took his pistol from
him and started for the Trinity bottoms,
five miles away.
The marshal at once gave the alarm and
a posse was organized to recapture the
negro. The posse came up on him few
miles east of Kerens. When he was COM
manded to surrender he opened fire on his
pursuers. The posse returned the fire and
the negro fell as II shot. but when the fir
ing had ceased it was found that neither
the negro nor any OF the posse had received
wounds. The negro was brought to this
city on the first train to avoid mob vio-
lence, as public sentiment in kerens was
very much enraged.

BISHOP TURNER REBUKED.
An African Methodist Church bishop
Criticises Him.

Atlanta, Ga. March "a .-Bishop w. j.
Gaines OF the Afri0n Methodist church,
who was raised by the late Robert Toombs.
repudiates the recent call of Bishop Turner
for the negroes to arm against the whites.
In this reputation Bishop Gaines says;
II am as emphatic in my condemnation
OF the lawless and Goddess crime of lynch
ing can possibly be- but Bishop Turner
is entirely too radical The best element OF
the white people is opposed to lynching as
much as the negroes can be. The governors
and peace officers OF the Southern States
are doing all they can to bring about a
proper condition OF affairs.
THE best remedy for our evils Is educa-
tlon and Christianity. The crimes for which
lynohing is the punishment are committed
by the most ignorant of our race. 1t will
take time to educate them.
Bishop Turner's advice to the colored
people to take up guns is simply suicidal.
We are the weaker race and in such n
conflict would be the sufferers. We have
a common future. and the hest interests of
the white and colored races run parallel
We must not permit ourselves to run into
circumstances such as Bishop Turner Is
