does not know where the people are.
They may have perished.
"Not a stone was left upon a

said. where there was once rich

cause his fuel gave out. As he was

Austin, Sept. 9.--The final pay
public schools of Texas, that is, the
states part of the payment, for the
remainder of the scholastic year
190S-09. is now being made by the
comptroller's department. This will
be good news to the thousands OF
school teachers over the state who
have been unable to get their saiar-
les heretofore for lack OF funds TO
the credit of the available fund. SUI
ficient funds have come into this
fund and the promise Of more in
the near future has justified tue
comptroller's department III issuing
the warrants The sum due the teach
ers for back salaries amounted TO
21,S17. This was caused by the
failure to collect a sufficient amount
of school taxes over the state at the
right time, and besides 1t is now be-
coming apparent that the per capt.
ia apportionment of $6.7o was lit
tie high and it was impossible TO
collect a sufficient amount of taxes
monthly to meet this high apportion-
ment, which was the highest ever
made in the state. In order to avoid
repetition of such a state of af'
fairs, it was deemed wise to reduce
tho aDnOrtionment for the next SchO

viii Be Wild Scramble for OIlice in

Austin, Texas, Sept. 9,-The
state political campaign of 1910,
unless all indications fail, promises
to be one of the most interesting
events to be pulled off in the politi-
cal history of the state. 1t is already
apparent that there will be a wild
scramble for several of the leading
berths at the capitol, notable among
these are the gubernatorial contest
and the race for comptroller. The
entries for these two offices are al

ably a dozen aspirants for the exalt-
ed office of governor of Texas, and
nearly that number for the position
of state comptroller of public ac-
counts. Political prophets, however,
declare and maintain that as TO the
gubernatorial contest there will be
many left at the post, that after the
preliminary skirmish there will not
be over three candidates left in the
field There is already some secret
calculations by the wise ones as to
which of these will get the strength
of the other nine or ten, and how
