JUDGE ROGAN, commissioner of the
general land Office of the state of Tex
as, who.has been visiting In Western
Texas, and investigating the state
landed titles, ia in the city. He is well
come. It is so seldom that any of the
state executive officers visit our city,
that their actual coming, makes them
doubly dear. II the leading men of
Texas, were more familiar with the
western portion of the state by actual
and personal knowledge, there would
be less narrowuess exhibited in deal
ing with this section and better and
kindlier feeling would be manifested
by the westerners towards those who
make our laws and xecute them.

One of the most picturesque and de-
ligntful sections of North Carolina is
what is known as the Sapphire country
This section is located near Brevard,
N. c., at an average altitude of 1900
feet, and abounds in many beautiful
streams and grand water falls.
or the many attractive features, per-
haps among the most interesting and
picturesque points are Fairfield and
Sapphire Lakes. No where else in the
south at this altitude are there such
bodies of water. There are towering
cliffs, rising abruptly for a thousand
feet from their shores and cascades of
rare beauty falling directly into the
lakes from the lofty table land sur
rounding.
On account of the elevation of this
section, it is very healthy, and parti-
c1larly adapted to those troubled with
hay fever, being also free from all ma
laria or other diseases. A record of
the temperature kept at Sapphire for
four years, shows an average of SO de-
grees for the entire summer.
Sapphire Inn, Fairfield Inn, and The
Lodge, afford excellent Accommodations
for guests.
For further information regarding
the Sapphire country, call on any

Anti-Ciqarette Law.

The anti-cigsrette law, passed by the
| last Texas. legislature, goes into effect
on the 18th of the present month, and
it's provisions are as follows:
| Any one who shall sell, give or bar
ter, or cause to be sold. given or bar
tered, to any person under the age OF
16 years, or knowingly sell to any per-
son for delivery to such minor without
the written consent of the parent or
guardian of said minor, any cigarette
or tobacco in any of its forms, shall be
| fined not less than $40 nor more than
800.
A Texas exchange, in commenting
on the law and the cigarette smoking
kid, says:
zone of the most disgusting sights
on earth is to see q small, spike-headed
kid, who still wears safety pins, going
along the street putting a cigarette.
It is remarkable fact that nine-tenths
of such children are impudent and ut
terly void of politeness. They would
stop President Mckinley on the street
and say, Gimme a match, partner
and would in many Instances bestow q
sound cursing upon his excellency II
he refused or dared to remark upon the
improperly of such small boy using
tobacco.
CHOW when the lew goes into effect,
let every decent man in Texas see that
it is not violated, for the giving of q
cigarette to boy under Is years of
age makes one liable to as great peu-I
atty as selling it. The age limit ought
to have been 20 years.

and then to me: "You go back to your
Office, corporal, aud remain very close
until you have a denial or q conirma-
tiou of this story, and bring any news
you may receive to me instantly that's

The corporal" needed no second
dismissal, and, saluting, I quickly got
out of az atmosphere that was far from
chilly to me.
Now, by my cussed propensity for
joking 1 had involved myself in this
mess, and there was but one way out of
it, and that was to brazen it out for a
while longer, and then post a denial of
the rumor, but the denial must come
over the wire. So when 1 reached my
Office called up Spaffor and told old
man Livingston what 1 had done, and
in about an hour and half he sent me
q "bulletin," saying that the previous
report had happily proven unfounded
and the Sixth and Ninth cavalry were
all right. This message 1 took to the
colonel, and as he read it he heaved a
big sigh of relief, but he dismissed me
with a very peculiar look in his eye.

THE United States has fallen back
from it's position of first of the
gold producing countries, which she
held until 1896 for the past fifty years.
Africa and Australia have surpassed
US in this respect. This has happened
not from falling out in the gold out

up of new gold fields, which have prov

John Philip Sousa, leader of the famous
band which recently gave concerts in In
dianapoIIs, is being commended for his pa
triotic conduct in connection with the great
Dewey parade In New York. Sousa in
creased his band up to 1S5 men and marched
with them IN the parade. He paid the
fares of the band from Philadelphia to New
York. paid 81 900 TO be released from the last
day of his contract at the exposition in
Philadelphia, and, furthermore, paid the
men himself some $500 for the days work.
OF course il was a good advertisement for
Sousa, too. IL is said that one of the few
suggestions made by Admiral Dewey with
regard TO the celebration was that good
band be procured TO lead the jackies of the
Olympia In the parade. One writer, in COM
menting on this request, says: In my
Judgment the admiral herein made a sad
mistake. The band of the Olympia is pos
sibly not very good one, and possibly dur
ing his long cruise and stay in eastern
waters IL has offended the admirals ears
but the great fact remains that IL was there
