LUMBER INDUSTRY OF TEXAS.
The growth of the lumber industry in Texas is
shown by the value of products, according to the
following table taken from the census;

Less than two million dollars worth of products in
1870 has been increased to over sixteen million dol.
lars worth In 1900,
In 1870 the capital invested in the lumber business
in Texas less than nine hundred thousand dollars
in 1900 it has grown to over nineteen million dollars
Three hundred and twentyfour establishments in 1870
have grown to 6S7 in 1900. and instead of 1850 wage
employed in 1870 in 1900 1924 was the
number of wage earners employed
These 1924 wage earners receive an average of
s8,os4s17 in wages, against the sSsOl49 paid out in
1870.
OF the 6ST establishments in Texas thirty.six are
tie and timber camps and COL are sawmills
"n the Southern States we find a similar progress ="
says the lumber industry bulletin OF the United States
just issued The eastern portion of this yellow
pine belt is mainly that comprised in the States of
Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia which have long
been the of active lumber operations have in
the main. small mills The recent movement in the
Southern pine belt, has apparently gone mainly to
Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas, the west
ern half of this region, and here the mills are much
larger than in the eastern part"
There were 241 planning mills in Texas in 1900 with
total capital of s211746s with products valued al

SiXty'four thousand square miles or "a per cent
of the area of the State, is estimated TO be wooded
The stand of yellow pine is estimated to be 81 EOS,
100000 feet OF this s,75OOOO000 feet are reported
entirely of yellow pine.
Altogether the figures for the lumber industry ir
Texas are very satisfactory. An industry which ha.
increased S14,S95,622 since 1870 and s5S5seO7 from

THE SOUTHERN EDUCATION BOARD AND THE
NEGRO,

The Post has refraned from comment on the plans
of the Southern Education Board until it should be
more clearly developed exactly what its plans are
great deal is to be said in favor Of the position taken
by the Manufacturers Record of Baltimore deprecat
Ing 'the injection of philanthropy into the problem
providing school facilities, which can be
settled right only by the persons most Immediately
concerned" Nevertheless when Southern men who
great educators of Southern sympathes and zeal
ousy patriotic for this section like Dr. Curry and Dr.
Alderman lend themselves to the movement 1t seems
proper to withhold criticism until the full scope of the
movement is clearly set forth by those at its head.
Up to the present time this has not been done.
If. how ever, the Northern philanthropists who
mainly constitute the Southern Education Board mean
to endeavor bring about coeducaton Of the white
and black children in the South il they hope
tablsh schools in which there shall be no separation
of the races, even separate schools In which the
shall be given like education they are destined
to grievous disappointment.
The thing ought not to be DONE and 1t can not be
done.
1t ought not to be done because of the racial diff
ferences between the white and the black 1t can not
be done on account of these same racial differences
and because the white people of the South will not
allow the attempt to be made
Mr.. Edward Atkinson, who writes an article in the
last number of the Manufacturers Record seems to

tends endeayor to bring about is the education

KEENE HAS ANOTHER GUESS
VIII Find No Asylum in England
where He Can Run His Motor

LONDON, Nov. 22.-(New York World
Cablegram = Special Telegram) - Foxhall
Keepes exclaiming, when fined in Long
Island court for driving a motor at exces-
sive speed, that there is no Justice in the
United States and that he shall come to
live in England, excited great amusement
among the English motorists. Their whole
cry is that they are prosecuted by hostile
police and that the magistrates and police
enjoy nothing more than laying traps for
unsuspecting motorists. They know that
the country magistrates are strongly
prejudieed against them, regarding motor
cars as a danger to all other vehicles on
country roads.
One magistrate said the other day that
he carried a revolver to shoot the first
motorist who imperiled his safety. This
threat is applauded by his colleagues.
Every week the Surrey police make a large
haul OF motorists for exceeding the speed
limit on the London Brighton road and
conviction is always assured, no matter
what the evidence may be. The motorist
considers this to be certainly the last
country for one who wants to go more
than twelve miles an hour,
