TEXAS FRUITS, NUTS, Der
RIES AND FLOWERS.

Under the above caption a
new horticultural journal makes
its appearance, the only one
published in Texas or the South,
so far as we know. San Antonio
is the publishing place of the
journal and j. w. Canada, the
newspaper man, editor and pro-
prietor.
The first number is a hand
seem twenty-page three-column
magazine, with a very attractive
cover design in colors, and the
journal, on book paper, is well
illustrated, and contains num-
Der of practical and valuable ar
ticles by men of successful ex-
.perience in fruit growing in
Texas.
Indeed all information of this
kind is needed for fruit grow
ing, for home use and for COM
mercial purposes, is coming to
be very important in every sec
ton of the State. In fact there
is not a section of the great

UNITY AND GROWTH.

"A dozen years ago Une llrSU
meeting of the Farmers Con-
gress was held. At the time
there were six organizations to
take part. Many predicted that
no good could come of such a
meeting, and that the various
agricultural and allied interests
could not be brought together
on any sort of basis of unity
and work and growth. But facts
show that never was a broader,
better work for the interests
that make Texas so great plan
ned or carried out. The dozen
years show.
This year from July 9th to
18th, when the session will be
held at College Station, sixteen
organizations will take part,
each with it's own special an
nual meeting, and the whole
working as one body for the up
building of all he interests rep
resented. These interests are
as broad as the State itself.
Each year sees a new interest
banding itself together for mu-
tual help, and adding the
strength of it's own organization
to the sum total of the strength
of industrial Texas.
But for Texas this work has
just fairly begun. The move
ment is the outcome of broad
er education and at the same
time is broader education to
the people of the State. Each
interest touches, and all togeth-
er work to the end that the con-
dition and life of the man and
woman and child OF Texas shall
be the best in every sense that
intelligent effort based on the
dover of a liberal nature can
make.
Not ineptly is the name
whites Legion" applied to those
who are enlisted in carrying
forward this great work. The
idea is unity and growth. The
means of carrying forward this
idea are the education of the
people, those who are young and
those who are old, and none are
too old to learn, along the lines
they are interested in and at
the same time in all things else
that touch their interests. The
IDEA of unity and growth is at
work, silently, all ideas that are
great are silent in their move
ments and Texas moves on at a
still greater pace to greater
life.

CONVERTING NEGRO no CATHOL
= ICISM.
the Church of Rome Think tl
Solve Race Problem.

The Negro question will be one OF
the many problems that will be dis
cussed at the Catholic missionary
congress, which will open in Chicago
next Sunday. There Is a strong move
ment In the church for greater atten-
ton to, missionary work among the
Negroes, not in foreign lands, but in
the United States, particularly in the
South. It is claimed by many who
have worked in the field that in the
conversion Of the Negroes to Cathol-
icism lies the solution of the race
problem.
Reduces Race Friction.
AS tending to prove that their re-
ligion diminishes race friction the
priests who, urge this theory point to
Mexico, South America, the islands
Of the Caribbean, where Spaniards,
Indians, Portuguese, and Negroes
mingle without trouble; the friendly
relations between the Catholic Indi-
ans and French and Spanish in Cali
fornia and Canada, and claim that in
the few places in the South where
the Negroes have become Catholics,
race troubles have disappeared. Sew
eral priests will probably be present
from Texas to press these points and
the Very Rev. John E. Burke, Of New
York, director general Of the Catho-
lie bureau for work among Negroes,
will address the congress, IionGay
afternoon.
The principal appeal will be for
the education Of more Negro priests
and their support In the mission
field. There are at present only s
| Negro priests in the United States
and most Negro congregations are
ministered to by white priests, ST.
Monica's 8 church in Chicago being an
example Of this.
Plan Protection of Faith.
Outside of the subjects Of Negro
and foreign missions little attention
will be devoted to missionary work in
sense Of converting non-Catholics
| The primary aim Of those in contro
of the congress is to protect the faitt
| Of those who already profess allegi
ance to the church.
1t Is estimated that over 10000,
600 men and women who came to the
United States processing the Catho
lie religion have fallen away from /
| through being scattered in cominu
mites where they were not 4n toucl
with the faith for many years. Ever
in the cities this has been true
where foreigners have fallen ava,
through finding no priests who couIc
hear their confessions in their owl
language or where their large mum
! bers prevented the priests minister
ling 70 them adsqnate1y. - TrffBunssT

Whistling around their ears, the col
lege eleven faced the st. Phillips Y.
M. G. A. this afternoon. 1t was an
exceedingly small crowG tnat braved
the weather and went out to see the
game, But 1T was worth the effort.
The acting officials were as follows:
President Mcdonald, referee; J. R.
Logan, Charles Town, field judge.
Game was called at 2:3O .. m.
Charles Town kicked Off, and the two
teams came together for the first
down. When the men arose they
were covered with snow from head to
foot. 1t was impossible to make any
fancy plays because the ground was
so slippery that the men foundit hard
to get firm 1oothold. The game was
one of kicks. Gunn, of Storer. dis
tlnguished himself for his fine punt
ing. The first half ended right
where 1t began in the center Of the
field.
Second Half.
When the whistle blew for the Sec
ond half 1t was showing worse than
forty minutes before. The game was
Still one Of punting. The Charles
Town boys pushed the college back
to the fve-yard line, but Storer held
them for down. College carried the
| ball back to their ten-yard line, when
Charles Town punted the ball out.
Lewis, Of Storer, punted it back, and
the two teams came together in the
| middle Of the field. College pushed
hard for gain, but the Y. M. C. A.
held like q stone wall. The referee
blew his whistle and the two teams,
covered with snow, trotted off the
field. Score, 0 to 0. The game was
an exceptionally good one. One Of
! the best ever seen here. There was
only three penalties in the entire
game. De Shields, Storers right
tackle, deserves special mention. He
made some Of the best plays in the
game. The lineup was as follows:
