From A Texas Brunette.

Bertram, Tex, March 3, 1903. Editor Newark Journal:
 If you will please allow me space in your paper l will write il short sketch for the interest of friends and relatives in Newark who have sent us letters of inquiry in regard to how we were satisfied with our new home in West Texas.
 l am only afraid 1 can't give an accurate description of our eoun- try. This (Burnett) county is q high, rolling country and in situa- tion is 13,072 feet above sea level. Our little town of Bertram is lo- cated on high plateau, and lead ing out north of town for miles and miles are praries, which is a beautiful sight to a stranger. 1t is interesting to watch the cowboys rounding up their herds of cattle and see the herdsmen shooting the mule-eared rabbits and prarie dogs. Our winters are very mild. One can raise almost anything in way of vegetables through the winter. The trees are perfectly green now. Our chief tree is the oak. Now, as to health, 1 will just say that 1t cannot be surpassed. When the census of our county was taken in 1900 and sent in, on account of the low death rate it was sent back for examination by a board of physicians, which was done, and Burnett county bears the distinction of having the low est death rate of any county in the United States. Why, then, should we not be most highly pleased, and satisfied, which we certainly are, without doubt: for Is not health the richest blessing on earths It is quite true that this is by no means Paradise, for we have our misfortunes here as elsewhere. In the years of 1901 and 1902 we were struck by dreadful drouths. which were very destructive to the country, but we have q beau tiful prospect now and everything looks fiourishing.
 l know the people there, to some extent, say, as l once did, that they could never stand those Texas cowboys and the high winds, but. my friends, some of our most prominent and refined young men in society are cowboys. Yes, it is quite true we have high winds and sand-storms in spring and sum mer, and girls must say to you that our blonds are few, but we are happy and healthy band of brunetts.
 I must close for fear this will enter the waste basket. If this is of any interest may call agAli,a
 Yours respectfully.

 pressly for bait. do you suppose the law could hurt Us for itt l guess you would say, and everybody else would say, Why, no!7 We'll, that's all right. Then, suppose there was a pearl in one of them, whose pearl would it be, yours or minez l am law-abid- ing citizen, as you know, and if 1 was to go fshin' and find a pearl worth thousand dollars, it would be dandy to have to throw back in the river. Wouldn't it.
 Here, Mr. Editor, we will take up for awhile what our lawmakers
 are doing and let the Just Try the sidewalk problem go, Other as we have all the Side. sidewalks we need at
 present; for we give sixty feet of open street for one and all, and if the mud is not deep enough on one side, all you have to do is just cross over to the other side and help your self.

a constant supply of blcod-making ma terial or their systems will break down.
 The complicated female organism is so delicately adjusted as to be easily thrown out of balance. AS a result, health and strength are affected by divers diseases. Motherhood, family, society all levy such drains upon her strength that most women break under the nervous tension. The demands upon her nervous strength are much greater than similar demands of the opposite sex. Hence she must be SUD- piled in greater measure with the ele- ment-iron-that gives strength. The reason women feel tired and worn out and suffer from headache, pains in the back and limbs, etc., is because they have used up their supply of iron. Menstruation trouble is largely caused by lack of iron.

ing; our only hope is to teach

ing; our only hope is to teach
that it is wrong, and cowardly in
a country where the laws ma
chinery is in the sole control Of
the intelligence of the counties.
In this State where a negro COM
mits a heinous crime: if captured,
he is bound to be convicted. and
there is absolutely no excuse for
a resort to lynching, but when
these crimes are perpetrated
people do not stop to reason, ard
we doubt if they ever will until
the sentiment against lawless-
ness becomes strong enough to
force reflection. If the lynchers
in the case of Dennis Head IN
Aiken county can be convicted, 1T
will have a wholesome effect IN
this State, and if the accounts OF
that lynching be true, we cannot
see how any people can for a
moment uphold the conduct OF
those lynchers. Head had COM
mitted no ofense other than to
refuse to give information as to
the whereabouts of the slayer of
Hall, and because he did not give
the information he was brutally
murdered. We hope Governor
Hayward will exhaust every
means to convict the guilty, even
if he has to employ detectives to
run them down.

The lynching epidemic does
not seem to have abated, nearly
every day accounts of new lynch.
ings are chronicled, and the craze
is not confined to any particular
section of the country, nor is it
confined to any particular crime,
nor are the victims Of Judge
Lynch always negroes. It is a
problem beyond our ability to
solve, and it does not matter how
much we may theorize, it seems
to be absolutely impossible to
find a means to stop lynching.
The general plea as a cause for
lynching is the slowness of the
courts and, the tricks of the law,
out all OF that's an aftecthought.
When a crime has been committed
Of sufficient gravity to arouse
any number of people t. a high
state of excitement and wrath,
the slow machinery of the courts
does not enter their minds: the
technicalities in the law is not
considered, but their whole being
is centered in the one thought
swift punishment. We often
hear people charge the courts
with being responsible for the
frequency of lynchings. What
constitutes the courts, # not the
people. If there is any branch
of the courts responsible for
crime, and especially that of
bloodshed, it is that branch
known as the jury, composed of
the people who hear the evidence
and are entrusted with the find
ingof averdict. How often does
justice miscarry with a jury?
How often is it that juries are
influenced by political, or money,
or family considerations In
South Carolina we have a system
that should insure Justice, but 1t
does not. A friendless creature
commits a crime and he is pun
ished, but let a man of influence
commit the very same kind Of a
crime and the chances are that
he will go scott free. With the
friendless man the juries have a
strong regard for the law, but
in the case Of the influential man:
what is called the ''umwritten
law" is taken into consideration
and as general thing a verdict
upon it is founded.
In our opinion there is no law
that can be devised by the hu
man mind which will stop lynch
