BAD CONDITION
IN TEXAS
What A Resident Has To
Say About the Long
Continued Rains.
Oglesby, Texas, Mar. 2nd, 1903.

ORlcSDJ 1CAhSs vi III ZIIu lOOOs
EDITORS JoURNA)..-Will you please
allow me space in your valuable paper
for short article.
1t might be of interest to some to
know the condition of this part of the
country, with regard to the numerous
rains which have been prevalent over q
large area of country.
/ have been in this country eight
years and have never in my life seen
anything to equal it. have heard
many old settlers who have lived here
since the early settlement of the coun-
try, say they have never seen it equaled
The rainy weather, or rather the wet
season, began about the first of Novem-
Der last, and has been almost continu-
ed ever since. As result there is a
considerable amount of cotton in the
fields yet, very few farmers being done.
AS result of these many rains, peo-
pie in parts of the country have been
rendered almost upon sufferance as the
roads are so bad they can't get to town
to get provisions and fuel. People in
some sections have moved to town
from the country in order to be handy
to market. Sor1e, however, are man
aging to haul out provisions from town
by putting pur horses to the front
wheels of Wagon.

public debt. The second section, how ever, bears directly upon the first sec- ton, quoted above. It is:
 Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and President of the United States. Rep resentatives in Congress, the executive and judicial officers of State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male mhaoitants citizens of the United States. or in any was abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime. the oasis of representation therein shall be re- duced in the proportion which the num- bers of said male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens Zl years of age in such State.
 We have italicized one word in this section. which shows that the intent oI to base representation to Congress upon the number of citizens actually possess ing the suffrage. For hundred years the non-voting male and female citizens under N have been represented in the House proportionately with the male voters. Even in the days of slavery. by that clause of the Constitution which the Fourteenth amendment superseded, the blacks Tn SeGNlLuuct IhO hCBlO bioNNoI male and female, and children. counted in the apportionment each as three-ffths of citizen.
 It does not therefore follow that in the event of a reorganization of the sys- tenn of suffrage, by the repeal or change of the Fifteenth amendment, ultimate constitutional principles or public policy would necessitate a reduction of the basis of representation in States affected by the disfranchisement of the negro; although, of course, in that event the numerical basis of apportionment would become the subject of serious considera- tion. and the language of the second section of the Fourteenth amendment would require some readjustment to ac- cord with new conditiones.
 We come now to the brief Fifteenth amendment, which incorporates what the nation is rapidly coming to believe was one of the most deplorable mistakes in
 The rights of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race. color. or pre- vious condition of servitude. The Con gress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation"

ly the result of supposed political expe- diency. partly of an ignorant over-esti- mate of the possibilities of development inherent in the race. The costly experi- ence of more than a third of a century, the span of a whole generation. has dem- onstrated the tremendous double mis- take. The South has long known it.; the North is fast learning 1t.
 However far the direful consequences of this error of natural Judgment in 1869 and 1870 may be successfully avoided in the twentieth century by local expedi- ents in evasion of the spirit, If not of the letter, of the Fifteenth amendment, the probability remains that sooner or later the country will have to face squarely the question of its repeal.
 Perhaps the sooner the better for the dignity of the instrument that now ex- hibits as a fundamental principle of the American system a theory of suffrage impossible of practicable application with safety to the vital interests of the States chiefly concerned.
 When even the Supreme Court of the United States. this very week, in the case of the clash of the Alabama Con- stitution with the Fifteenth amendment. declines to interfere and dismisses the appeal for the enforcement of the ne- gro's right to the unrestricted franchise, the time canot be far off when American common sense will be ready to go fear lessly to the root of the matter.

sive experience in the manufacture of paper, having made all the kinds of pa- per known to the trade, including tissue, paper He is the first and the only ex- pert papermaker yet to manufacture newspaper out of yellow pine shavings. When he first started out to accomplish this he was riduculed by some of the best paper makers the country afforded. but he knew he was right, and went ahead and now the mill he established at Orange is manufacturing newspaper. and the one he is to put at Lake Charles will soon begin to manufacture the same sort of paper.
 The attractive feature of the manu- facture of paper out of yellow pine shaw ings is that the South will soon become the leading manufacturing section of this product for the entire country. as most of the yellow pine of the United States is now in Texas and Louisiana. As some weeks ago. MT J. H. Kirby, al the head of the Kirby Lumber Company of Texas, Is looking into the various prac- tical methods of utilizing the waste that is necessary in saving up immense a. mounts of pine lumber, and he Is very much impressed with the practicability and the advisabiiity of manufacturing paper It Is not at all improbable that If MT. Thomas succeeds at Orange and Lake Charles as we'll as all the indi- cations now point. MT. Kirby will, within year or two. begin utilizing the entire amount of waste that is producing by his NarlouS saw InlilS III the maklnsS ol paper.
 In discussing the Lake Charles mill MT. Thomas said that it would have a capacity of 5000 pounds a day. All the necessary capital for the enterprise has been raised" he explained. We will at the mill at Orange, make paper from pine shavings, using the slabs and re- fuse from the sawmills at Lake Charles. We have made a contract for the ma terial. and the mills will get a revenue of about $1S.0O0 year from us for the raw material delivered to us, that has formely been wasted. This means much to the timber interest of the South. for as soon as demonstrate the success of the process for making paper from pine shavings have an offer of ample capi- tai to develop the industry throughout the pine woods section. If this indus try, Is developed to it's fullest, 1t means millions annually to the saw mills of Louisiana alone, for material that has heretofore been a loss to the millmen. Our machinery will cost about $260 900 and the buildings about s50.00O and while the company Is capitalized at only $300,0 900. there will be ample capital to operate the plant successfully.
 "I am the first man who ever made paper from pine shavings. as J. c. Pow ell, L. Kaufman and Captain Locke, of Lake Charles. can attest. The process is very simple, but 1t requires a great

NEW YORK SUN ASKS.
Is the Fifteenth Amendment to Be
 Permanent

Permanent New York Sum-
 The thirteenth amendment of the United States Constitution vii stand, and ought to stand forever unrepealed:
 Neither slavery nor involuntary ser- vitude, except as punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist in the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdic- tion."
 That declaration chiseied upon the tab let of fundamental law one of the two great results of civil war, next to the preservation of the Union itself the greatest result of that mighty conflict. Emancipation will never be undone.
 The first section of the Fourteenth amendment, likewise. is likely always to stand as 1t is. It declares:
 An persons born and naturalized in the United States. and subject to the Jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or en- force any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States. nor shall any State deprive any person of life. liberty, or property. without due process of law: nor deny to any person within it's juris- diction the equal protection of the laws. "
 This defines citizenship and guaran- tees the inseparable rights of citizenship. It does not confer the suffrage upon all necessarily an abridgement of the rights of citizenship. Otherwise, the boy of 15 and the woman of 50, as persons born and naturalized in the United States and subject to the Jurisdiction thereof, and therefore citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside would be alike entitled without further legislation to the ballot. Such was not the intention of the Fourteenth amend ment. Such Is not its force

497 VOTES POLLED GENERAL CITY ELECTION WAS
 VERY QUIET. Little Scratching Was Done and Democratic Ticket Was Chosen. Council Meets Today to
 Declare Result.

Four hundred and ninety y-seven votes were boiled in yesterdays city election, and Hon. Thomas H. Carr was formally elected the first Mayor of Greater Mont gomery. The election was devoid Of the slightest resemblance of excitement.
 In the same election, fifteen Aldermen were chosen to make the laws for Mont gomery for the next two years. being polled out of a total of 1,962 regis tered. The figures show that but little more than one-fourth of the voters en- titled to cast ballot availed themselves of the privilege.
 There was no opposition to the Demo- cratic nominees of the April primaries. All votes cast yesterday were for these nominees.
 The result was foregone conclusion. The certainty of the result robbed the anything like contest the average voter did not feel called upon to go to the polls.
 The scenes about the polls were in striking contrast to the two municipal primaries. There were no crowds or car iiages about the polling place and the ropes stretched across the sidewalks were the only indication that anything un- usual was in progress indoors. The out side of the voting places were deserted.
 Inside the election managers sat about the boxes and killed time as best they could. The monotony was occasionally broken by the casual voter who hap pened in.
 In some of the wards 1t is understood that the regular Democrattc ticket was scratched to some extent. The voters who marked off the name of some of the candidates, but there were not enough of them to cut any considerable figure.
 The detailed vote will be definitely known this afternoon when the City Council will hold a special meeting to open the returns and declare the result.
 The vote by wards was as follows

Lake Charles is to have a mill of the with $500, 900 capital, all of which has been pledged. and Robert Thomas. the protector of the mill, and the man who installed the Wentworth and the Orange mills, will soon go to Wilmington.

 A speciality will be made of news pa- per. although other qualities will be man ufactured. Lake Charles is one of the most important yellow pine centers in the world and 1t has been successfully demonstrated by him that white paper of the best news grade can be manu- factured from yellow pine. it Is con- fidently expected that very soon now Lake Charles will be one of the leading white paper manufacturing points in the country.
