SITUATION AROUND ruLsnEAH.
Cinimed that Tenants and Laborers
Arc Interfered with.

10 the Editor OF The Post.
Fulshear. Texas. September ga re-
port has been circulated abroad, espe-
'cially in counties west OF here slong the
line OF the San Antonio and Arkansas Pass
railroad. that crops in this part OF Fort
Bend county are total loss and that the
tenants are in destitute circumstances.
This is absolutely false, Our farmers
have cotton in tine fields yet TO be picked,
but hands are SO scarce that II Is very
doubtful IL they will be able to get out
what little they have left. This stale
oil anairs is all caused by some of our
sister counties sending man after man
into our midst TO entice hundreds and
hundreds of our tenants to Jump their
crops. and landlords who have fed and
clotned them since the disastrous Hood
OF 1889 Now for our neighbors to come
in and induce our labor TO Jump" is more
than we can gracefully submit to. Our
representative planters have explained
the situation to the parties who came in
after hands in a conservative way and
told them that we had cotton here for
every picker we had and requested
/ them to leave us in peace and allow us
to repair our great loss the best we can,
but our statements and requests are
I
the county ask for no provisions nor
clothing from outsiders. but we do ask
outsiders to allow our tenants to remain
and gather their crops. which must be
done or our county is ruined We APP
preciate the sympathies and good wishes
Of all good people, but not people who
come among us 10 cause discord and dis
content among our tenants. The land
lords and tenants have had great trouble
for the past two years. but by going
hand in hand. the landlord considering
the interests of the tenants and the ten
ants considering the interests OF the
landlords the people have been able to
live very comfortably.
Fulshear will Ship about 1000 bales of
cotton this season Notwithstanding the
loss by the storm. Corn is damaged con-
siderable and Is hard to gather. Full
shearites are about over the shock of
the storm and are now trying hard tn
repair their damages, which are great.
Farms are all to be refenced. tenant
houses TO be built and set up and num-
erous other work has to be done. Our
people here think we do not need any
general relief. May be there are a few
individual cases who will need some help.
School houses and churches are gone
School houses must be built before the
fall session of school can begin.

JUMPING AT CONCLUSIONS.


The Chicago Times Herald has found
basis for concluding that lit is daily be-

Of negro domination prevents a landslide

/; will be amusing to the south te--hear
this deelars ion" but it Will be much more
amusing - hear on what the statement
is founded.
The authority for the Times Herald's
conclusion is the attitude toward Mr..
BRYAN of less than a half dozen Southern
papers. And what papers are these? The
BirminSham, Ala. News the Montgomery
Ala, Advertiser. the Macon, Ga. Tele-
graph. the Memphis. Tenn. Scimitar and
the Galveston Newsl These are tho
straws which show which way Southern
sentiment is blowing and that are indl-
eating the possibility of Landslide to
Mckinley and Roosevelt" were the dread
OF negro domination only out of the wayl
Quotations are made from each OF these
papers and headed Southern Press
SCOTS at Bryan" And then our Chicago
contemporary boldly concludes: "These
quotations are from four widely separated
STATES. but they go to show that there is
nothing but contempt for Bryan and
Bryanism in the only section OF the
United States whore the democratic ticket
is sure of an electoral vote next Noyem-

ly dispel these views OF Mr. McKinley's
thick and thin Chicago organ, by announe-
Ing that these enumerated Southern pa
pers are simply "unreeonstructed" gold
organs that represent an insignificant and
hopeless minority even In the localities
IN which they circulate. but the truth OF
history demands the statement In each
case mentioned the leading exponent of
democratic or Southern sentiment in the
section OF publication is supporting the
democratic ticket heartily and INDUCING
In no SCOTS" at Mr. Bryan. The papers
mentioned were bitterly hostile to Mr..
BRYAN in 1886. and are as-little repre-
sentative ofNthe attitude of the South
ern press" this year in any ''scofing" al
Mr. BRYAN which they may indulge, as
uney were -FOUR years ago. In neither of
the localities of their publication was
there any rumbling of possible land
slide" toward Mckinley in 1896, nor is
there any indication OF disposition In
that direction now There is no fear of
nesro domination in either Georgia,
Tennessee, Alabama or Texas. and the
South is solidly democratic because it be-
lieYes IN democratic principles and OPP
poses Mckinley policies.

was scoffing al Mckinley and that a

TENDER 27,-Cotton pickers are in de-
mnnd in parts of the county particular
ly on tt5 west side of the river. About
400 hands mostly negroes, have been
brought in from the lower counties. Sick

ago to same date were II $50 bales. Re
ceipts yesterday We're 220 bales, same

and Grain-IieIping the Helpless.

Austin, Texas September 27.--Return-
ing from Galveston this morning, Governor
Sayers reports conditions in that city "a
daily improving. The committees there
are doing most excellent work and the
people generally talk hopefully.
There we're about 100 men at work
upon the debris on yesterday; it is bis
opinion that 1t will require 5000 men to
remove all the debris casioned b. tie
storm within the next thirty days. Thii'
h )wever, is but an estimate, and 1t may
require longer time
Means have been provided Tor tle
promp; payment, in casa, Tor each u-y
work, and no man IS asked or required 10
work without full compensation In money
as he performs his work.
TIE supplies are being systemat cally
distributed only to those who have SUI
tered from the storm and are helpless,
the policy being to pay those who are
strong and well for work and to help only
those who are infnm and needy ana can
not provide for themselves.
Commerce is being resumed and on yes
terday he saw several large ships being
loaded with grain and cotton. 1t is I'M
possible for him to commend the people
OF Galveston too highly for their fortitude
self-reliance. energy and devotion to their
public welfare under such trying circum-
stances.
Coming through Houston he remained
there several hours and found that the
work of the committees, headed by Judge
Tallaferro and Mr.. Garrow, was being ad-
miraby done, and that the ladies' relief
committee had so performed its duties as
to Justly entttle them to the highest mead
Of praise. 1t is not in his power TO prop

ton of the conduct of the ladies of Hous-
