The public schools Of Texas are
on higher plane Of efficiency and
are enjoying an era Of greater pros
periiy than ever before in their
history. The extension and im-
provement Of our rural chools du
ring the past few years ia an i'm
portant step made by our educa-
tional system and reflects great
credit on The people Of this State.
The scholastic population OF the
State on August 31st. 1908. was
1893 441 and for the scho sstic year
ending August 31st 1910 was $40 ..
COG, making an increase of So, 565
during the past two years, The
spirit Of cooperation among all
educational forces Of Texas has
created an educational atmosphere
which has tended to give strength
and impetus to the movement for
better schools and for the highest
type of citizenship.

Call For Negro Prohibition Cass
County and \ Z Texas.

On the 25lh day Of February, 1911. a
number of negroes met IL Linden and
decided that inasmuch as a state cam
paign for Constitutional Prohibition is
being waged throughout the state. We
urge the Negro friends of Prohibition
throughout Cass County and Northeast
Texas, to meet in Atlanta. Texas March
10, 1911 at 100 p. m. at the colored
school house for the purpose Of strength
ening the coiored organization, and de-
eide upon the best method of working
up strong sentiment for The State
wide Prohibition among the colored
people.
Prohibition is gaining ground in Tex
as. and the colored people should line
up at once to help free Texas of Liquor
domination because saloons cannot be
run without making drunkards, vag-
rants ami gamblers out of negro boys
Close those places of iniquity and en-
courage the boys to go to work.
The liqusr traffic interposes the great
est existing obstacles of the reign o.
RICH teousness on earth. hence every
loyal child of the King is bound to help
destroy it We will have one of the
best speakers of the state to lecture
at this meeti ng. Please come for we
are depending on You.

Nv dear sr. Sherrell:
| have had an interview with the
Chief of Engineers, Gen. ". Ii. Bixby,
and be assures me that the protest
against the construction Of the dam at
the foot of Caddo Lake is considered
not sustained He states that there
will be no further delay in the IN utter of
the dau1 'ypnd such as may occur in
in carrying out the clause authorizing
the dan Considerable routine and
preliminary will be necessary because
the Law authorizes the dam to be so
deemei necessary. 1t may be that
several different plains will have to be
prepared and con sidered before aetna
construction work begins. The rivers
and harbors act of the recent session of
Congress provides new survey for a
lock and channel in connection with
the dam the has been obtained to en-
ter Red River through Cross Bayou
This survey has been obtained for the
especial purpose of ascertaiDing if it is
possible to secure the cooperation Of
those interested in the drainage OF the
lands below the dam. A hearing Will
be held at some suitable point as part
Of this survey during the present year
and the entire project, outsides Of the
dam, is thus re-opened During the
recent session of Congress a tremen-
dous effort was made TO suspend work
was inserted in the rivers and harbors
bill when it reached the Senate. For
tunately. this clause was eliminated in
conference aud the dam remains I'M
disturbed. l am now endeavoring to
get in touch with the people interested
In the establishment of drainage dis
trict in Caddo Parish below the dam
and in cooperating with the govern
ment to the end that navigation and
drainage may be both secured. | will
advise you Of any furthor develop
ments.
| wish to take this opportunity to
thank you ana other Jefferson citizens
for the magnificent assistance given me
| in this matter. You have labored with
conspicuous diligence and without your
active cooperation success would have
not been possible One of the dearest
hopes of my life and one Of my proud
est ambitions isto see the restoration or
navigation to Jefferson.
With every assurance of regard. | am,
Sincerely your friend,

PURSUING OLD TACTICS.

Washington-In letter from w. E.
Bryan, general president of the United
Brotherhood of Leather Workers on
Horse Goods, it is stated that the |. w.
w, the alleged labor organization, have
sent out a pamphlet addressed to the
membership of the Leatherworkers, in
an effort to split the organization. The
leatherworkers have been conducting a
hard fight to reduce their hours and in
crease their pay, and as is usually the
result they have been compelled to COM
bat a strong manufacturers association.
The attack of the "Wonderworkers" is
in accord with the policy of that COM
bination. Wherever a strike is in prog
ress there you find detectives and the /.
w. w, for they apparently have COM
mon cause. The |. w. w. representa-
tives in the Philadelphia and Eddystone
strike of the Baldwin Locomotive Works
employees confined their arguments to
Socialism, industrial unionism and an at
tack upon the national unions, while try
ing to split the organizations on strike

HOLDING TWO JOBS IN DENVER.

Washington-A letter from the secre-
tary-treasurer of the Federation of Rail
way Employees of Denver, Colo, states,
among other things, that there is now a
strike on by the Machinists' union
against the Rock Drill e. Machinery Co.,
and that one Carl Bell, an employe of
one of the departments of the Denver
mint, during a similar strike, about a
year ago, obtained permission of the
foreman to act as watchman during some
hours of the night and still to work at
the mint during the day time, and that
he is now using his vacation in working
for this drill company. 1t is a rather
singular state of affairs that the govern
ment should provide for a vacation for
its employees and then countenance those
employees to become strikebreakers The
general inference has always been that
when vacation was given, it was done
for the purpose of permitting employees
to recuperate. The matter has been
taken up with Franklin McVeagh, secre-
tary of the treasury.
