many Of them around the cities Of this
country. Every once and d while the
negroes and the Mexicans have some
pretty bad misunderstanding, as each
think they are a little better than the
other so they fight it out, but the Mex
lean generally comes out winner. The
negro Of this country, as a rule, is
worthless. They get such good wages
for what they do, they don't have to
work all Of the time. I have often
thought we need a Few more old
South Carolina boys out here to help
tame them. There are very few Of
them in the country here. They all
hang around the town. In some locali-
ties the people will not allow them at
all. I have learned ere this that the
only way to have good negro is to
keep him at work, but that we CALI
not do here as there are not enough
people of my idea about it. We cam
mot hire one for less than two dollars
per day, as he knows he can get that.
I am with Governor Vardeman, of
Mississippi, on the negro question.
Anyway if you educate him then he
Is worthless. While I was in some of
the northern states, I noticed that
some of the negroes put up at the
white hotels and shared all comforts
Of the whites. A great many Of the
people of North Dakota referred to
them as colored gentlemen and ladies.
I thought then, back to the Sunny
South for me.
The question with me now, is what
are we going to do about this negro
business. Are we going to keep quiet
and let the brutes continue in their
fiendish crimesq I seldom ever look
at Texas paper but what I see an
account of where they have assaulted
some little girl of lady. They have
been punished every way imaginable
without accomplishing the desired re-
suit. I have known Of several cases
right around my home, and when it
gets that close, it is getting not only
time to think, but to act. Not long
ago there was newly married couple
living near me and the young man
went to town one day and upon his re-
turn home he found his bride of only
a few weeks with q headless body w.
ing in the cellar. Brother, imagine
his feelings at that moment. A posse
of several hundred men caught that
firndish brute, tied him to stake and
burned him, but did that relieve the
young mans mind7 I should say not,
nor has it stopped that hellish work
Of theirs either. think that Booker
Washington and his fellows are
doing more for the ruination of his
race than any person on earth, while
] think his intentions are good.

HIS THOUGHTS OFTEN
TURN HOMEWARD.
Continued From Page ~

Mr.. brother-in-law, ID. b. Williams,
formerly of Newberry, conducts a
large mercantile business.
AS result Of the mining business
here, Caddo is situated between the
Red and Blue Rivers, where wild
game Of every description abounds.
Sometime when I am out shooting
deer and antelope, 1 think Of the boys
back at my old home chasing a poor
little cotton tail rabit for dear life
through briar patches, and if they bag
two or three, they think they have had
q successful days outing. The Jack
Rabbit is, or would be-, quite cur
iosity with the boys Of Newberry.
They are about three times the size
Of the cotton tail, with ears about
eight inches long and can run rs swift
as the red fox in your home country.
Speaking of the fox recalls pleasant
memories of the chase used to take
after them back there with Burt Neel,
a son of Mr.. Tom Ncel, whom you all
know well. Now, | wish you could pay
your Uncle Douglass and myself a
visit, Burt.
Now, as my first residence in this
country was just across Red river in
Texas, I will give a brief description
Of that Lone Star state. 1t is star,
and I trust that it will continue to
shine, as it has, forever. The east
ern part Of it is a pine timbercd coun-
try and thickly settled, and at that,
mostly by cattle men or ranchmen as
they are called. There is where we
find the real cow boy. Two or three
OF them out on range miles away
from any human being, hcrding thou
sands of cattle day and night, with no
company except two or three noble
shepherd dogs and faithful pony.
They have Il camp or cook wagon,
which they take to town when they
need them, returning probably not to
see town or any human being for sew
eral months until their supplies are
exhausted. Such is the lonely life of
the Texas cow boy. But there is a
noble heart that beats beneath his
manly bosom. Their chief sport used
to he chasing anil lariting the wild

Real Object of Taking Up Contract
System to Secure Aid of Number

Washington. Jan. 31.-The follow
ing statement was made public at the
White house last night:
Reports in the papers seem to indi-
cate belief that the canal contract
has been conditionally awarded to Mr..
has been made even that the contract
will be awarded to any of the bidders
HopeIesSIy Defective.
"Mr. divers bid was so hopelessly
defective that it could not be even
considered, and time was given him to
complete it in shape that will enable
it to receive consideration. Ii it is
put into such shape it will be consid-
cred together with the bid already
made by the Gillespie Macarthur COM
bination, which may Itself be altered
and then whichever bid, after the most
careful examination. seems most adj
vantageous may be taken, or both bids
rejected and the canal be constructed
under the direct supervision of the
government. In such case the govern
ment would, wherever it chose, use
contractors simply as agents.
Object to Enlist Specialist.
THE real object in contracting the
work is to have assembled a large
number of the best specialists in each
class Of work. and the prime consider
alton will be the ability and fitness
shown in variety of directions by the
men making the bid The president
and the commission would not even
consider a bid of merely one or two
men. The work is already going well.
Over 100000 cubic yards were taken
out of the Culebra cut in January, and

That Canal Decision.
The most wonderful exhibition of
the presiden power in congress, Mr.
Rayner, believed to nave been at the
time of legi;lahnG 0r the sea level
canal. After DESCRIBING this fight he
remarked 1T shows how the domina-
ting spirit of the president can ride
the wliTlwind when he has made up
his mind to leSi.la;e. and how in abso-
lIte lefiance of the laws of nature he
can produce a senatorial vacuum be-
tween tl:e sweep of his mighty genius"
In concluding Mr.. Rayner said:
| believe that if the democratic
r2rty would take up as its battle cry
the reserved rights of the states, and
the inviOlate constitutional distinction
of the legislative. the judicial and the
executive departments. that we could
rally around the doctrine the intelli
gent suffrages of our cOuntrymen.'
Lodge Replies.
Lodge replied briefly to Rayner and
declared that nothing the president
had ever said had gone so far towards
revolution of our present
system as had Bryan's
declaration for government ownership
of railroads.
Carmack Comes Back.
In reply to Lodge, Carmack said
while Bryan had expressed the opinion
if government regulation should fail
government ownership ought TO come.
the president had. said if government
regulation should fail government OWL
ership would have to come Hence. he
concluded there was no substantial
difference between the president and
Bryan on the subject of government
ownership.
