Estherwood safe 4 success

The auction sale of town lots
at Estherwood yesterday was
successful beyond the expecta-
tions of it's promoters.
Eight coaches of excorsionists
came in from Washington, Ope-
lousus, Lafayette ana New Ibe-
ria, and immediately upon the ar
rival of the train the barbecue
was served as advertised.
The sale was commenced
promptly at noon under the di-
rection of the lEstherwood De-
velopment company. e
Mr.. Harry Hodgson, president
of the New Orleans real estate
exchange. acted as auc tioneer,
and the spirited bidding and
good prices received was largely
due to his good work. He be
lieved in the future of Esther
wood and had the happy facility
of making others believe in the
sure returns that an investment
in that huStling little town was
bound to bring in.
The heavy rain interfered with
the sale t. some extent, but the
prices were high ana a large
number of lots We're sold.
Ticket No. 100, held by Mr..
Roy Cplver Of Estherwo I'd, won
the $500 lot that was given away.

WET BENCHES.

For years the Dispatch has been calling
the attention OF the street-car companies
to their disregard Of their pa trons' com
fort and their lack of business sense IN
not arranging to have the benches on open
cars wiped off after showers have fallen;
but It seems a matter with which the.
street-car management is poweriess to
deal.
We say .powerless." because it is in
conceivable that proft-seeking corpora
ton would throw away hundreds of fares
If they could devise any method to pre-
vent it-any method to attract patrons
who are now repelled. But though
they can't see any way; though
their ingenuity fails at that point
everybody else knows that rag or
sponge in the hands of a willing hand
would do the work. So desperate at times
do some pa ssengers become, they would
willingly wipe off the benches themselves,
if the company would put sponge WITHIN
their reach.
If this simple, practical, sensible pro-
vision is not to be made in the Interest
of public comfort. the sooner the sum
mer cars are replaced with closed cars
the better.

GALVEsTON's NEW LIFE.
The City Quickly Recovered from
Effects of the Great Storm.

The City Quickly Recovered from
Effects of the Great Storm.
The Galveston News of September list
contains a synopsis of the commerce OF
the port of Galveston for the trade year
just closed. and shows In spite OF the I'M
precedented hurricane which visited Cal
weston in 1900 that business is being con-
Quoted on a greater scale than ever be-
fore.
Galvestons total cotton receipts for 1901
'O2 were o090,71O bales. against 2.1T,9s3
bales for 10000. Galvestons bank clear
ings for the year just closed amounted
to $372, $751; 500. compared with 5O,S69. C)0
for the preceding year. During the sea-
son of 19O1-'02 the total shipping business
of the port of Galveston was valued at
$3.50 1897 1854. against s246567.2i7 for the pre-
ceding year, showing an Increase OF Sl4,-
27o,107. The resumption of business on
such a scale would have been Impossible
if Galveston were not the most accessible
and economical port for an enormous
traffic.
Galveston is the natural outlet for more
than fourth of the area of the United
States. The county Of Galveston has
voted to issue bonds to the amount Of
81. 500. 900 for the purpose of securing funds
to build a concrete seawall around the
Gulf front of the city. This wall Is to
be II feet above mean high tide. It is to
be II feet thick at the base, with piling
foundation, the depth of which will be 80
to so feet thus insuring the wall against
undermining. The top of the wall will be
five feet thick. Filling behind the wall
to its full length will extend back $50 feet,
and will be paved with bricks, so as to
give more strength to the wall and at the
same time afford magnificent drive
way. The people of Galveston have al
ready subscribed for over s1.0OO0OO worth
of the bonds, and the county is now adj
vertising for bids, to be opened on Sep
TENDER 5th, when the contract will be
awarded and the work pushed to compile
ton. It is estimated that in Is or is
months the wall will be completed, thus
positively nsuring Galvestons safety
| against the fiercest hurricane yet known
| to mankind.
The State Legislature has donated to
Galveston a portion Of the State tax for
a period of two years, for the purpose
| Of raising the grade of the city. The
next Legislature will be asked to con-
| tinue this donation Of part of the State
| tax for an additional period of IS years.
| This request has already been Endorsed
| by The Democratic State convention.

Discussing the proposition that the
Grand Army of the Republic secure the
establishment of home for Confederate
veterans in the South and the fact that
many Confederates find themselves knock
ing at the door of almshouses in their old
age, the New Orleans Picayune says:
1.-The almshouse is no place for any
man who ever wore the gray that Lee
wore. or ever fought for the flag for which
'StonewalT Jackson died. The Confederate
soldier is the last man on this planet who
should ever be regarded as an object OF
charity. He is not an object of charity;
he is an object of peoples lasting
affection and a peoples lasting graft
tude. AS, when in strength, he desired
only to do his duty. to discharge his
responsibility and to pay wherever he
had played so now, in his weakness, he
asks only that he be cared for by per-
sons from whom he feels. and rightly
feels. he may expect protection. TO ask
others to assist him-even to permit them
to alleviate his suffering-would tend only
to intensity his distress and to make more
poignant his humiliation. AS he has
never askeu-no, nor ever would nave
accepted-a dollar in pension from the
United States Government-so now he de-
clines to accept aims from his former an
tagonists."
That is the situation, exactly.

her startled companions Immediately
rallied from the start, and his snake,
ship was speedily dispatched by Mrs.
William Hillyard, who picked up a stick
near by and killed the reptile before it
had an opportunity to strike any one.
Mrs. Funk is totally unaware how the
snake became in her dress, but the sup
position is that as the day was cool the
reptile had crawled into the folds Of
her skirt in search of warmth. and it
may have been there for some time, and
possibly had iust crawled there while
the lady was standing by the cornf1eld-
The most fortunate part of the affair is
that the reptile did not become angry and

PASSING OF GOLD JIM wR1eHr.u

With the death of ''old Jim Wright
the famous outlaw, who for several years
harassed the good people on the borders
of Virginia and Tennessee, there passes
picturesque type of desperado which,
thanks to the progress of civilization and
good order, is fast disappearing. The
newspaper accounts of Wright's death,
though tersely expressed. are full of
dramatic suggestions and add the final
touches to a grewsome story of long
continued bloodshed and crime. Just as
everybody expected. old man Jim died
with his boots on-died bravely defying
the law and those who sought to enforce
it. In his brutal way this rugged old
criminal was sort of hero-that is to
disregard of decency somehow appealed
to those who admire the reckless quail
ties which produce daring and intrepidity
in a man. And there's no denying the fact
that Wright, at least, was consistent
villain. 1t is safe to say, however, that
old man Jim's immediate neighbors-not
to mention the families OF his many VIC
tims-induged in no sentiment about him
and heartily rejoiced when his skin was
punctured with bullets.
Wright was small and sallow, with
deep-set eyes. shaggy brows, and sunk
en- cheeks. He was about 80 years Of
age, and apparently feared neither man
nor devil, though. strangely enough, he
is reported to have been a close student
of the Bible. It is said that he had been
implicated in more than dozen murders
and the direct cause Of many other
deaths in Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky
and Texas. Two years ago he escaped
from the Tennessee penitentiary, where
he was serving life sentence for muir
an orgy of rascality.
1t was a posse of nine brave Scott
county citizens that succeeded In wing
ing and ultimately ''bagging'' this
fierce. wild bird of the mountains they
halted Wright and his youthful COM
panion, John Templeton, at Piney Grove,
Hawkins county, Tenn, about twenty
miles southwest of Gate City, and some
desperate fighting ensued. Not till bull
lets had flown thick and fast and two Of
the, posse had been wounded, did old
Jim yield up his dauntless spirit. His
companion-a man of 25-also persisted
They brought the two bullet-pierced
corpses of the desperadoes to Gate City
in common farm wagon Monday, and
hundreds who IN life had trembled at the
very mention OF their names, viewed the
pulseless forms whose Jays of sin are
over and rejoiced that their end had
come.
In years to come when the march of
progress stamps out from our border the
last vestiges Of outlawry, old jim
Wright's name will be one to conjute
with. Perhaps future generations Of
Scott county children will clamor to hear
the weird story of his prowess. though
just now the poor wretch goes to his
criminals grave. unwept. unhonored,. and
unsung.
