 As long as the dictators Of this gang are allowed to hold sway that long will civil and political liberty be denied .he great mass of citizens of the county, the progress and development of the county retarded and the taxes of the people and the revenues of the county perverted and prostituted to private pockets instead of public improvements and benefits.

Judge ". D. Jones has long en- joyed, and justly, too, the eonfden- ces of the people. The Graphic has long beer an admirer aud supporter of Judge Jones, for be has been a stone wall against the greed of cer- tain county officers who regard a public office not as public trust but as a privatesnap. But # is a severe disappoin tmens 10 some of Judge Jones strong admirers to see him ehampioning the cause of cer- tain well-knoEn ringsters and be- coming the mouth-piece and spokes- man of the machine.

 What are Lithotypes?

They are Autograph engrav- ings,' stone engravings" that are transferred onto zinc and then etched into relief, to be used on type presses.

Two Cripples.

Yesterday, the reporter had ousi-
ness at the depot on the arrival OF
the T. & P. passenger tram, and
while there found Marshal Dean,
and officer whe we're expecting
Sheriff Edwards and Jailer ROchell
iu en- the train with couple OF
white men captured in New Orleans
and wanted in Bowie county fer
passing files through the bars to al
lew the escape of couple of white
men who we're in there chaged with
holding up man in this city. The
two officers we're not on the train
and Marshal Dean asked the porter,
if Sheriff Edwards got of at the I.
G. Junction and he said, "yes sir"
and added he had TIVE cripples with
him-one of them had leg brSke
and the other one had both of his
legs out of joint. 1t seems that the
two nen had been captured and
placed in Jail in Louisiana and made
their escape to the top of the build
ing and swung off and the fall was
the result of their being crippled,
and also caused their recapture.

There are only four cotton mills
in Texas, and they are making a
profit of fifty per cent, the greatest
of Gotten manufacturing countries
only makes nineteen per cent profit.
Certainly these figures will encour-
age the establishment of factories,
which are so much needed for the
development of the state. Time is
sure to bring factories to the south
and to Texas, where the product
that is used by the mill is raised. -

This is the kind of expansion that
pays: Five years ago the cotton
mills in the South consumed but
100000 bales of cotton; their con-
sumption now amounts to nearly
$500, 900 bales in the $50 mills, with
1852, ,O92 ssindles and 104, 446 looms.
The number of mills has increased
2O6, that of spiudles and looms $40
per cent. 1t is this kind of expan
sion that will, at an early day,
change business conditions in the
South for the better.

Abolition OF Prison Lock Step.

To the uninitiated the lockstep is
an interesting performance. 1t or
lginated from the necessity of
handling large bodies of convicts as
compactly as possible. Each mans
hands rest upon the shoulders, while
his knees fit into the backs of the
knees of the man before him. This
necessitates a short, shuflliug step,
and swaying motion, which it is
claimed seldom leaves him. For this
reason Its abolition is urged. This
demonstrates the power of habit.
Another habit hard to get rid of is
constipation; but there is remedy
that will cure this, as well as dys-
pepsia, indigestion and biliousness,
and that is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. 1t is magnificent tonic
for the whole system, purifying the
blood and improving the appetite.
Try it.

nipulating! He would not recog-
nize the poor sweaters who have
