THE TBNETs OF DEMOCRACY,

There are many different brands
OF Democracy during these piping
times OF general prosperity, and
some OF these Democrats are getting
a long way from home. The funGa-
mental principles OF the Democl attic
party, about which we hear the leath-
er-lunged politician SO loudly prltc
and declaim, afford interesting read
ing. Following are the true prin-
ciples OF the party, as laid down and
expounded by the immortel Thomas
Jefferson.
First-The people, the OILY source
of legitimate power.
second-the absolute and lasting
severance OF the church and state.
Third-the freedom, sovereignty
and independence of the respective
states.
FOuIlH---l nc uhAOht u COuANNS' nv
a compact; neither consolidation
nor a Capitalization.
Flfth-The constitution of the I'M
ion, a special written grant of pow
or, limited and definite.
Sixth--the civil power paramount
to the military power.
Seventh--The representative to
obey the instructions of his con'tit,
uents.
Elections free and suf-
frage universal.
Nlnth--No heredlty of office, nor
order. nor title.
Tenth-No national debt If pos
sole.
Eleventh---No costly splendor Of
administration.
Twelfth-No prescription OF opin-
ion nor Of public discussion.

AS THE WHEELS OF TIME ROLL
ON.

Did you ever stop TO consider
That never a day has passed,
That has not brought some new
triumph.
More brilliant than the lastY
Every hour that goes rolling back
ward,
Toward the years that have passed
and gone;
Leaves the world some little treasure,
As the wheels OF time roll on.
Every life in this worlds great dwell
ling,
Aa It touches others here;
Helps to make the world grow better
Day by day and year by year.
Time has turned the hand Of wisdom,
In It's search for better things;
Till wo gaze In awe and wonder,
AZ the product that II brings.
When We sec that all around us,
Every day, some good Is wrought;
We should make our own lives better
with the lesson that is taught,
Every day, some heart is lonely
And there's some one forced to
weep;
At the words some tongue has ut
tered,
Cruel and piercing in their sweep
For each word, wherever spoken,
Finds a place IN some ones heart;
TO thrill like a golden sunbeam,
0F 50 pierce Ike a poisoned dart
SO withhold your bitter anger,
For some words san hurt SO;
II you have none kind snd gentle,
Curb them: Never let them go.

LIME FROM LOCAL QUARRY.
Industry That Shows Possibilities
For Great Development.

For Great Development.
Guy Culp, manager of the gravel
pit at the Ady spur o nthe Denver,
northwest of town, has another en-
terprise which is possible of great
development.
Near the old Mcbride place on the
Canadian river, about thirty miles
northeast Of Amarillo, he Is now
having native lime burned for the
local market, On account of the
location and the difficulties of trans
porttation, the output is necessarily
small, but it is of good quality and
is meeting with good favor with the
local masons. 1t is said to be as good
for general purposes as the round
rock lime which is most used here
The only appreciable difference Is
that the native lime Is somewhat
slower to slack than the factory
lime. This is probably the result of
defective burning and could be rem
edled If the industry were taken
up on a larger scale,
The raw material is unlimited In
the canadian river country and, for
the small demands that are now be-
ing made abundant fuel supply Is
furnished from the drift wood in the
river bed. At present the capacity
Of the one kiln in operation Is lao
barrls which is burnt in four days
and nights. One team is kept busy
all the time hauling the product to
market and the largest item Of ex-
pense at present is in the transpor'
tation.

ARE GOING ToADVERTISE.

1t seems that our friends at Plain
view have faith in their portion Of
the country, and are bound that the
world shall know what they have
down there. Amarillo's reputation
as a distributing point, and head
center for the great Panhandle coun-
try has impressed them as the proper
place to advertise their advantages
20 the world, and they are preparing
to collect and send to Amarillo, to
be exhibited by competent per-
son. the products of Hale county
The following items concerning
the exhibit, are culled from the col
umns of the Plainview News OF the
last issue, and give some idea of the
Psinvlewites:
"A move Is on foot to place an
exhibit OF the Hale county products
at Amarillo In charge of compe-
tent man. This matter has been taxi
en- up by the commercial club and
the requisite funds have been raised
to maintain II, This should have
been done long Ago. No doubt many
good people have been turned back
or in some other direction who
would have come here and bought
land IL this country had been prop
erly represented. Hale county is
the banner county on, the plains, and
all that is necessary is to place a
fair exhibit OF her resources before
the people, and a family on every
quarter section will be the result.
"A special request is made to the
farmers all over the country to
Dring us samples Of milo maize, kaf-
fir corn, wheat and oats. Fruits
and vegetables are wanted that VIC
may give the stranger who may
come to Amarillo an idea OF the
possibilities OF this country.

WILL Change
TOMORROW
New Postmaster VIII Take
GhardTge Of The
Local Office
(From Fridays Daily)


After a term Of service extending
over nearly nine years during which
time the office has grown from a
comparatively insignificant point to
one whose business meets comparison
with offices in cities of much larger
size, J. NJ. Kindred tomorrow retires
from the management of the local
postoffice and Harry Ingerton takes
charg as the new incumbent.
Harry Ingerton, who now takes
up the duties OF the position was the
first postmaster after the office had
assumed any Importance. To be ex-
act the appointment made was Of
his mother who was the widow of
Captain Ingerton, the well known
federal officer Of the early days, but
Harry Ingerton was always first as
sistant and was often the active post
master.
Before the appointment of Mrs.
Ingerton there were two or three
other or less volunteer postmasters
who sorted out the scanty dole Of
letters and papers that then came to
the little settlement. Mack Moore
was the first postmaster after the
establishment of the office in 1887.
At that time the Fort Worth and
Denver road had just been completed
through the Panhandle and the town
of Amarillo was a city on paper with
a small tented settlement on the
Denver siding of the present bust
ness street or Polk street. For adj
ministering the affairs of the office,
Mr.. Moore used rough pine box
about 16x30 inches in size which had
eight pigeon holes for the disposal of
the various varieties of mail and OF
the office stationery. Thls first
postoffice in Amarillo is now pre-
served in the vaults Of the local Of
flee as a curious and interesting re-
minder Of the early day.
During Clevelands administration,
the Democratic control patronage
threw the office, upon the expiration
OF Mrs. Ingerton's term, to ]. M.
Portwood. Mr.. Portwood did not
complete his full term as postmaster
but resigned to take up a business
proposition at another point Then,
early in the first administration of
President Mckinley, Captain ]. M.
Kindred received the appointment
and has since conducted the affairs
Of the off ce.
At the time of Captain Kindred
appointment, he and Mrs. Kindred,
with the assistance of one boy had
no difficulty in caring for the de-
mands of the office, At present the
work requires the service of twelve
people and is still growing rapidly
The office now pays $4,000 to the
postmaster and s1,10O to the assist
ant.
Contrary to the idea that some

these principles in the interests Of
special classes, as against the masses
1t is altogether what kind of a con-
construction we place upon them in
