law to be fully as much for their pro-
lection az for the whites.
Secondly, the Demands in the arti-
Gle referred to aims its usual fanfare
made and inconsistent fling at the
management of the school funds of
Grant parish, and particularly in and
for wards one, six and seven. The
conditions in ward one, in which Col
fax, Fairmount, Walnut Grove and
Upper Village white schools are To-
Gated, may be taken to represent the
case most particularly. Here the ne
groes outnumber the whites about
two to one, yet the school board ap-
propriates nearly two-thirds of the
public money for this ward to the
white schools. The reasons moving
the board to approve this division of
funds is, first. that the white tax
payers Of ward one pay ISL in taxes
for every 81 paid in by the negroes.
Second, the negroes being congrega-
ted in close proximity to each other
q few schools fully and sufficiently
serve them. By this management in
this ward both whites and blacks get
from 4 to z months free school each
year. The negroes ara satisfied, be-
cause they get average terms with
the whites. and all the instruction
they have time and capacity to take
to advantage. The whites, paying
more than fifty times az much taxes
as the negroes, contend that two
thirds Of the public school money IL
no more than their just due.
This arrangement prevails all over
the State with more or less modiflca-
ton, and in Grant parish it has been
applied with unusual liberality, which
has had the unqualified and unani-
nous endorsement OF every school
board Tor twenty years. 1t needs no
defense, nor is this explanation in
'enoe" as any. Inc honorable, just
and patriotic gentlemen who have
composed our parish boards are q
iun guarantee that their acts are ell
taken with ample regard to the re-
quirements and equity due to each

not the case. Here in Amarillo,
for the past ten days, the streets

knee deep with mud and water.
The drainage is very poor and
this stagnant mud is likely to
produce sickness. This makes
it necessary that the sanitary
condition of the town be looked
after very closely by the city
authorities, and the residents
should all see that their premis-
es are kept in good order. This
is an important matter and

"On Wednes day the Brand

stated that no water has been

PANHANDLE CROPS.

What are your crops? What
can be grown in the Panhandle:
How about fruit? Does a gar
den do we'll there?
These are among the the lead
ing questions asked by farmers
whose minds are being directed
to the Panhandle country as a
good place to settle in, And, it
is but natural, that they should
desire to first satisfy themselves
as to the prospects of financial
success before venturing their
all in move to this country.
Those who have visited this
section know how the country
lays--that for hundreds of miles
from i central point the lands
of the great Panhandle are bout
of Il "wha tuess." The climate,
the soil, its products are as
nearly alike as are two eggs
from the same chicken. What
can be said of one portion of
this Plains country applies,
with few possible exceptions,
to all of it. Thus, when the
News speaks Of what can be
done in the way of farming in
Randall, the same can be said
of Deaf Smith and all adjoining
couuties-a witness for one is
admissible for all.
Will the Panhandle ever be
farming country? Some OF the
old cowmen who have ranged
here since the beginning of ac-
tual white possession-some
twenty years back-say no.
Others of our old settlers like
w. +. Heller, l.. G. Conner,
L. G. Lair, Geo. Long and G. N.
Caylor, say that it will. The
first named witnesses, have
never tried farming" here, in
fact, many of them have never
even attempted as much as a
garden; they don't care to
farm" they were not raised
that way and to this good hour
it almost wrings their souls
with anguish to see the Pan
handle sod turned over. In this
new order of things-tarming-
they see the genesis Of the con-
Guiding chapter on all grass
cow punching, to which they
have devoted the better portion
of their lives and they don't
like it. The second line Of wit

here from good farming coun-
tries; men who, from experience,
know whereof they speak. For
