last week where the grand jurors say
"We recommend that the officers see
that the Sunday law be enforced, and
that all places OF business in the coun-

the grand juries and courts and public

TEXAS NEGROES AND 1.-THE FIRST
LAW OF NATURE"

la w OA AA n - AkAs
Albany Herald.
The negroes of Texas or the bet
! ter and more intelligent class of
the race have have ''seen a light, "
SO to speak. The negro farmers
of Texas, who recently held a large
and successful convention at
Houston, took most noteworthy
step by organizing vigilance COM
mittees for different sections of
the state. These bodies are to
assist the officers of the Law in
running down and prosecuting
negroes guilty of criminal assault.
They were induced to take this atep
by the fact that seventy-three cases
of this crime have occurred within
the past fourteen months.
In taking this step the respect
able negroes of Texas are simply
appealing to that preservation
which is recognized as "the first
law of nature. :" The appeal is
made in rational way, too, and
may therefore be all the more eff
fective.
Sensible negroes must know that
the frequency with which the
crime to which the action of this
Texas negro meeting had special
reference is committed through
out the South has become alarm
ing. They must also know by
this time that the crime: is one
which IS fast destroying confidence
and good will between the races.
Action of the Texas negroes in
placing themselves on record be-
fore the world as being ready and
willing to assist the officers of the
law in running down and bringing
TO punishment negroes guilty of
criminal assault is timely, and the
sooner the better class of negroes
all over the country follow the
Texas example the better it will
be for all concerned.
The action of the Texas negroes
will have a good effect. When
negro brutes see that the people
of their own race, instead of
harbor;ng and protecting them,
as has been too frequently done in
the past, have organized for the
purpose of hunting down and
destroying them, criminal assault
upon white woman by negroes
will become a less frequent &C.
curTence.

A. r.. CHAMBERLAIN,
Sup't Farmers Institutes.

RECENT press dispatches stated
that at the annual meeting of the
stockholders of the G.. Il NV. at Chi
cago the proposition of increasing the
capital stock of the company to $780,
100000 would be voted upon. As the
present captilization is about $780,
100000 the proposition would mean
a doubling of the capital stock. The
equipment of the G. IL n. w. is al
ready the best west of Chicago. Last
year when most of the roads were in
the midst of a car famine the G. a. n.
w. was furnishing shippers as good
accommodations as ever, notwith-
standing the increased demand. This
situation would indicate that the
company does not need the increased
capital for the purpose of adding
equipment. The income has taken
care of that expenditure right along
and caused the stock to go to the
200 mark. The only explanation for
such a move would be to increase
capital stock to keep down interest
rates, or for purposes of large extern
sions of it's mileage. The latter is
probably the reason. In fact, a coast
line will be necessity now that Harri-
man controls the Union Pacific and
last week projected a deal whereby
he secured possession of a controlling
interest in the G. NJ. 81 st. p, which
is building to Seattle.
