RELIC OF OLD TEXAS
FIRST Capitol Building Of State
Has Fallen to Decay.
Famous Structure Of Republic Is Sir,
ated at the Rrazos River IN Co

San Antonio. Tex.-Dear IN IT,

days when oppression brought ;nte

age and won the land from tvrornn

has far surpassed the white mans ~
pectations. Her battle-scarred terri

strenuous times.
Though the Alamo, the Thermonv,oo

generally known as the states d.

is marked by the old capitol buiIdino
situated on the Brazos river in tbo
town of Columbia, Texas, not far frono
the San Jacinto battlefield. the sannt;
campo, or sacred ground on which was
fought the fight that won the Texano,
independence. Today, the aged frame
structure of unpretentious contour
and design has fallen to decay.
Though much has been done to
beautify the battle-ground, the first
capitol Texas ever had stands desc.
late. In front of the door of the ola
house still remains the tree trunk to
which the Mexican dictator, Santa
Anna, when captured by the Texas
patriots. was tied before his identity
became known to his captors.
The Declaration of independence of
Texas from Mexico, drawn up and
signed March 2, 1886, aroused the win.
dictive hatred of Santa Anna. On re-

USING ocALA LIME

Benjamin Thompson, road engineer,
was, in the city yesterday, and said
that work would begin this morning
in earnest in districts one and two of
this county. Eighty men will start
work today, and as soon as arrange
ments can be made with the Atlantic
Coast Line for switch at Pinellas
Park for the unloading of road mate
rails the force will be increased.
Yesterday there were seventy men,
divided into four gangs, working on
the road from Tampa to Pinellas
Park. Ten men will be added to that
force this morning. All material
which will be used on the roads has
been arranged for, and five carloads
of rock are now on the track at Pr
nellas Park. The Atlantic Coast Line
will build a side track in a short time
for convenience in unloading the ma
terial.
Ocala lime, slay-like material, is
being used for hacadam. Mr.. Thomp-
son has arranged to have the lime
shipped to this county as fast as it
is needed. The Ocala lime is mate
rial which forms compact, substan-
tial surface for roads when properly
packed and mashed down by use. The
lime has given good service on roads
which have been Macadamized with
it, and when it is properly spread it
makes the best road for the least
money which can be built in this sec
ton, where paving materials are so
scarce.
Preparations for the road on Fourth
street to Maxine point are being
made, and according to the plans of
Mr. Thompson, the road will have an
underlayer OF shell. which can be
found in Little and Big Bayous. On
the shell a layer of Ocala lime will
be spread, thus making the surface
smooth and durable.-St. = Petersburg

cARRANZA DEFENDS EXECUTION
OF FEDERAL OFFICERS
(By Associated Press }

Phoenix, Ariz.. Dec. S.-A letter
from General venustiano Carranza,
defending the execution of federal Of
ficers, was given out today by Gov
ernor George P. Hunt of Arizona.
This letter was in reply to letter
from Governor Hunt suggesting that
the continuation of these executions
was likely to lose for the constitu-
tionalists the sympathy of the Amer,
leans.
General Carranza justifies his acts
by declaring that many of those who
were executed were traitors to the
rebel cause. He also says that an
imperfect understanding of Mexican
Conditions has caused Americans to
pat the wrong construction on these
executions.
