THE TALE OF A LOST COLONY,
Perhaps the FIRST White Child Born
in An,Ssr.iiica Became Savage.

On July %, 1857, a colony sent
out by Sir Walter Raleigh landed at
Roanoke, Va In this colony, it is
said. were ninety-one men, seven
teen women and nine children. The
colony was incorporated as The
Borough of Raleigh in Virginia,
and John White was chosen COVER
nor. His daughter, Augusta Eleanor,
had married one of the colonlsts, a
young man named Dare. On Au-
gust IS, Mrs. Dare gave birth to
daughter, to whom was given the
name Virginia. She was the first
white child born in America. Shortly
after her birth Governor White re-
turned to England for supplies. He
remained longer than he had inted-
ed. and when he finally got back to
! Roanoke the colony had disappeared
| He searched long and anXiously fol
| the missing members, among Whon
| were his daughter and grandchhd
| But the lost colony was never found
| Probably the older members wer'
massacred by the Indians, and tn
children scattered among the variou
tribes. Thus the first white chile
born in America if she grew up It
womanhood, probably passed he
life in savagery and remembers
nothing of the ways of civilization

IJGHTFOOT RUNS OFFICE

No One in Attorney Generals Depart

TangIe for Courts.

Austin. Texas, Sept 22.-Since
September ! the attorney generals
department has been running with
out any money, from the attorney
general down to the porter no one
has drawn any salary, and no effort
will be made TO draw any until the
supreme court has passed on the va
lidity of the action of the governor
in vetoing half of the appropriation
for the support of that department
Comptroller Lane said that 1t
would avail nothing for the attorney
general to send into his department
his pay roll for salaries and other
expenses. as he would not issue any
warrants therefor.
Il have my bondsmen to protect,
said the comptroller, and | do NOT

proving any warrants from that de-
partment until 1 am compelled to dc

AN INDEPENDENT BUYER.

The Waxahachie Light explains
that an Independent cotton buyer. as
contemplated by the Retail Mer-
chants Association of that city, is
not to undertake to boost the price
of cotton beyond its real worth, but
we'll known facts that the business
men of the county seat are determn
ed that the producers of this section
shall find in this market every con-
dition that warrants them in bring
ing cotton and other produce to this
point An independent buyer, one
who is in the buying for no other
purpose than to see that the seller
gets the right price for his cotton,
might not be able to pay more than
is already being paid by the regular
buyers, but the fact that such buy
er was on the streets would do much
to establish a confidence that is now
really necessary"
The idea of an Independent buyer
who will see that the producer is
given a fair price for his cotton, &C
cording to the prevailing market
quotation is not a bad one. The ay
erage farmer does not know how to
class his cotton, as the classifier does
even If he knew all about current
quotations and there were nc pool of
local buyers to get the best of him.
There is a good deal of rivalry
among some of the North Texas cot
ton markets and some tricks are al
legged to have been resorted to, which
makes WaXahachie's sQuare-deal
proposition seem all the better
