NOTES AND COMMENTS.
This is not the season for much
poetry; it is too hot. Now and then
we see a few catchy verses that inter
ests us these warm July days. Here
are three verses recently written by
Rev. J. J, Douglass, son of lawyer
W. 0. Douglass, of Raleigh. Young
Douglass was born in Asheboro some
twenty-five or mere years ago. Mr.
Douglass writes of the Carolina girl:
THE CAROLINA GIRL.
Her court is by the ocean
Where the billows comb and curl;
Of an airy, fairy notion
Merry Curolina Girl!
A ueeu amid the mountuius,
Where the silver' cascades whirl;
Mirrored in the limpid fountains
Mocking Carolina girl!
She's a princess of perfection;
Sparkliug eyes and teeth of pearl;
A dream of fuir complexion
Matchless Carolina girl!
To those who obierve conditions
in life as we find them, not as they
should be, will be impressed with the
following lines written by Cecil
Percy Pool:
THS PRODIGAL BOY AND OIRL.
When the roses of summer were budding
and blooming,
And the yellow wheat bent 'neat its
burden of gold,
The podigal son came, world-weary and
Uttered.
They clung to his garments with tears
and caresses
And the ctip of his welcome overflowed
with great joy;
The breath of forgiveness was cheerfully
woven
In a crown for the brow of the prodigal
boy.
e
When the bare frozen branches were
creaking and tossing,
And winter winds moaned round the
dwellings of men,
The prodigal daughter, alone and forsaken,
Crept beck to the home of her childhood
again,
Bat they turned her away in the cold and
the darkness
To the chill, shrieking wind with its
pitiless breath
And the curses that followed her faltering
foot steps
Were deep as .the tempest and fiercer
than death. -
Billions Bill was agitated.
And was much debilitated.
People said he had consumption.
That was everyone's presumption.
When he learned whet was the mat

TEXAS TO CALIFORNIA.
From tha Territorial Through Texas, Mexico,
New Mexico and Arizona Across tha Great
American DesertA Mldiummar Ride
Through tha Regions of tha West A Brief.
But Unique Description.
When I remember that. Texas is
one hundred thousand square miles
larger than all the Eastern and
Middle Atlantic states including
Maryland and Delaware I am not
surprised that I hardly know what
to sav I have seen from a car win
dow. After spending several days
in uKiunouia anu inaian .territories
and hearing Bpeech after speech on
"Statehood; the prospects for the
new star in the Hag in 1906 etc, we
went into Texas the "Lone Star
State" stopping at Dallas first; here
we were met by the reception com'
mittee who told us our headquarters
were at the Commercial club, that
we were to have a complimentary
troiiey rme. ana . men a luncheon
every one seemed pleased with this
program especially the last named
tor we Had already decided that peo
ple had not miaued it far when they
cm leu us tno national bating As
sociation instead the National Edi
tonal Association.
After the trolley ride over the
city we were taken to the State Fair
Urounds where we were served with
all kinds nf "eatables (and drink
ables.") A program had been ar-
rnngeu, songs, readings etc, after
which our Jauitors were given a
chance aim they never failed
Dallas has 82,865 people una be
ing an important railroad center,
has a large wholesale trade; it has
8 railway systems running in fifteen
unierent directions. The Govern
ment and the citizens have appro
priated aoout six hundred thousand
dollars for the canalization of the
Trinity river upon which the city
stands, clear to the Gulf of Mexico,
which will place Dallas at the head
of a direct waterway to the Qulf
and runania Uanal an'l will give
direct water connection with
European Ports.
AT HOUSTON.
Leaving Dallas we travelled 318
miles further south to Houston
through country a great deal more
level than any we had seen in the
Territories. The soil wasalmost black
corn growing on each side of railroad
tor miles, and wheat and oats, then
for a long time we would see only
the fields with green carpets, with
herds of cattle grazing, looking as
u iney nau oeen stau ieu ana were
ready for market. One thing I was
disappointed in was not seeing the
"Texas Cowboys" leading that lonely
lite tnat 1 nave always read of. We
saw the cattle and at almost rvery
nttie station there was a cattle
'chute" near the track. Some few
of these were full of cattle ready to
ship. All along the way we would
see nice country homes and every
thing around them that would sug
gest "peace and plenty." When we
arrived at Houston we found trolley
cars lined up for us to see the city
uui as we nau uau uo ureauiagt ii
then being 10 o'clock) we were given
time to satisfy the innermnn and
then were in a better frame of mind
to admire the "Magnolia City."
Houston is to Southern Texas what
Dallas is to Northern Texas. It
has 75,000 inhabitants, 38 public
school buildings, 32 private and
select schools, 93 church buildings,
15 railroads, (and 7 more planned,)
26 newspapers and other things in
proportion. Houston is the largest
interior cotton market in the world;
a little east of Houston you find the
greatest forest of yellow nine in
America and the largest oil fields in
the world. After we had been over
the city and heard of its many in
dustries we were landed at St Jacinto
street to take the cars to Harrisburg
five miles away; we passed through
a beautiful forest of live oak and
magnolia trees, the latter being
oaued with blooms and manv were
covered with the moss like that we
often see down in the eastern part of
our state. At Harrisburg we saw
cotton compresses, warehouses and
a shipping station covering many
acres of land. On our way hack to
Houston we stopped off at Dulmer s
garden where a real Dutch luncheon
was in waiting; it was. fanny to see
some of the "Northern sisters"
helping themselves to "sauer kraut"
and sausage and insisting that 'heir
neighbor across the table (who was
my self) pass the cheese. I did once,
twice, and some one else did the
third time, for I didn't want to have
any hand in a murder case in Texas.
JCDGB KITTRELL'S ADDRKS8.
Judge Kittrell (who said his
mother came from North Carolina,
addressed the audience and he took
especial pride in telling ns that "Tex
as has a white man's government;"
when he was telling of the many ad-
antages Texas was offering to home
seekers he said:
'Nearly seventy years ago the wise
young republio of Texas made far
seeing provision for the education of
coming generations by setting aside
vast part of the pubhc domain aad
dedicating it forever to the cause of
tree education, and the result of their
wisdom is that Texas has a perma
nent school f nnd, the revenues from
which, combined with a tax levy of
18 cents on the $100 ad valorem,
absolutely insures a free education to
the children of this and of all coni
ng generations, and her schools from
the primary grade to the highest
classes in her splendidly endowed
auu equippea university are tree w
the youth of Texas.
So, my friends, if yoa come to
Texas, your children are guaranteed
free education.
"Then these same wise patriots and
statesmen were the first men in all
the world to enact a homestead law,
aud that law is as firmly entrenched
in the Constitution and statutes of
Texas as it was sixty years ago.
"When you come here and buy
yourself 200 acres of land and pay
for it, that land and the improve
ments on it, I care not how valuable
they may be, and your household
furniture and supplies, and stock and
tools enough to work it, with, are all
absolutely exempt from forced sale.
If yon shula! come to die here after
you have paid for your home,' you
would leave your loved ones with the
assurance, that no creditor could take
their ho-ne from them and leave
them homeless and destitute, beoasse
above and around it would be the
piotection of the Constitution and
laws of this imperial commonwealth.
"So yon see a man can better
afford to die here than he can to live
in many states, where the relentkes
rigor of the Sncient law as to detta
prevails."
AT BAN ANTONIO.
After returning to Houston and
finishing the city, we left at 9 p. m.
for San Antonio, arriving there at 6
a. m., will have to let yon guess
about the country we came through,
as I have to do, for some time had to
be reserved for Morpheus,
"U Sleep it is a gentle thing
Beloved from pole to pole.'
oun Auujuiu, hi me is one oi wie
most interesting places of the South'
west, here you still see evidences of
Spanish influence, both in names
nd in structure of houses; in this
city and around it are found a large
number of Spaiish missions; we went
in the San Fernando, still used for a
Catholic church, it was built in
1731; I was very much interested in
the different ones coming in to wor
ship, with their beads and all kinds
of motions which I knew nothing of,

was named) Davie Crockett and 169

santa Anna in command of 6,000
Mexicans in 1836. The Mexicans
lost heavily during the first few days
aud not a Texan was killed, finally
when Col Travis saw they could not
bold together long, he called his
men together and drew a line upon
the ground and said: "I now want
every man who is determined to stay
here and die with me to come across
the line. Who will be the first?
March!" The first respondent was
Tapley Holland, who leaped the line
at a bound, exclaiming: "I am ready
to die for my country!" His ex
ample was instantly followed by
every man in the line, with one ex
ception. Colonel Bowie, who could
uot leave his bed, said: "Boys, I am
not able to come to you, but I wish
some of yoa would be so kind as to
move my cot over there." Four
men instantly ran to the cot, and
each lifting a corner, carried it over."
.avery man crossed tbe line and
all weie killed, except one man,
"Rose" who escaped and told the tale
of the Alamo. The bodies of the
heroic Texans were burned, by the
order of Santa Anna, but afterwards
their ashes and bones were gathered
up and buried and now on their
monument is, "Thermopylae had its
messenger of defeat; tho Alamo had
none."
After the battle of the Alamo,
Santa Anna marched to Houston,
where his army was defeated in the
battle of St. Jacinto and he was taken
prisoner by General Sam Houston,
for whom the "Fort Sam Houston"
is named. Oa our way out to this
tort 1 was introduced to Sam Hous
ton's daughter, who of course waa
glad to give us information concern
ing ner iatner auu uia name eaae
the Fort Additions by the United
States government are now being
made to this for-, costing over $600,
000. As I left the Alamo City I looked
at the "old Alamo" and wished that
every person, in Randolph couuty
could go there and see the walls that
held such brave men as Travis,
Bowie and Crockett. Kichard Hard
ing Davis says in his "West from a
car window": "The Alamo is to the
Southwest what Independence Hall
is to the Uuited States and Banker
Hill to the East; bnt the pride of it
belongs to every American whether
he lives in Texas or Ma-ne,"
We left San Antonio on Thursday

evening and reached El Paso, in
the extreme Southwest of Texas on
Friday at 5 p m. We were met by
the reception committee and were in
the hands of the chamber of com
merce; they showed ns their pictur
esque little oity built as it is at the
foot of Mt Franklin. The drawing
interests are railroading and mining.
One feature of our entertainment
here was the novel and attractive
appearance of the Elks, who greeted
as; they wore dark blue suits, with
Mexican silver (money) trimmings
purple girdles and ties, and large
somoreres; tms uniform was gotten
np for the Annual Elks' Convention
which was held in Buffalo last week;
they had the Mexican band which
they took to Buffalo, and which got
a prize, play for us.
EL PASO TO MEXICO.
El Paso is called the "eatewav to
Mexico." From here we crossed the
Bio Grande and went over into Mex
ico to the city of Jaurez (pronounced
Wharez) we were given a reception
by the Mexicans at the Custom
house met a great many Mexicans,
bnt didn't speak Spanish to them: it
is necessary, by the way for success
ful business men iu El Paso to be
able to speak Spanish as well as
iiiuglisn. After the reception we
went to ,he old cathedral (300 years
old) and were there when the bells
, sounded: saw the Mexicans, men
women aud children come in, kneel
on bare floor aud worship. We were
told that some of the wooden carving
iu this ohnrch was done by some
men who came over with Uortez.
On Sunday afternoons Bull fights
are still held but we didn't get to
witness one. The Mexican houses
are built of mud, dried in the sun
tfsd rejalled adobe; they are one
story, a great many only have one
j room, but the more pretentious

given the most unique souvenir that
we got on the trip, it was a small
Sombrero with white ribbon attached
on which was the United States and
Mexican fiags crossed, and the words
"welcome N Js A printed
Spanish.
i leaving El Paso for Kiverside,
California we travelled 766 miles
through New Mexico and Arizona.
This nas been described as "the
country God forgot."
AC BOSS THE DESERT,
Our first stop in Arizona was at
Tubcou one of the principal cities. It
is on the Santa uruz Uiver. The
University of Arizona is here and
the U S Government has an experi
ment station near here, the object
being to promote agriculture in the
Arid regions. After we left Tuscon
we were ready for the trip through
the desert; a dining car had been
added, the conductor said it was
a "Military Diner" and the only
one of the kind, and I guess it was
for it seemed a new arrangement to
all who saw it; there was a wide
shelf on each side of the car and
chairs all along. Very good meals
were served but we all felt that we
had earned them after walking
through 8 or 10 cars and then wait
ing our turn.
After breakfast we realized that
we were in the desert proper, no
houses except a few little adobe
shanties scattered aloug the railroad,
for operatives to live in, no trees,
nothing except tbe sage brush and
cactus, aud in some parts they show
ed that they were having a struggle
to live.
It is said that in early days tbe
migrants painted on their Prairie
schooners "Bound to Texas or to
Hell" thinking that the temperature
of the two were about the same; in
comparison with Texas this desert
was very much worse; mercury went
down to 108 during the afternoon;
comparing it with the other place I
can't say auytbing of it, for wc
didn't get down that far though at
one time we were 263 ft below sea
level. The trip from El Paso was
jiarked with great changes in eleva
tion, some plaa being a mile above
sea level as I said before some below
sea level.
YUMA THE HOTTEST PLACE ON
EA RTH.
We arrived at Yuma late in the
afternoon. It is one of the most
nourishing towns iu tbe desert region;
it has a good trade with mountain
mining camps ind is a prominent live
stock shipping point; it enjoys
the reputation of being tbe hottest
place on earth and it is said that one
of her citizens who had not uvea
right died and was consigned to re
gions below; on arriving he found it
so much cooler that be had to sena
back for his blankets. I asked a
man at the station if this was a true
story he laughed and said no, " Y nma
is not as hot as folks say it is."
Several Indians were at tha d?pot
and on old squaw would aot allow
her little on to be seen until she
was given money; some of their huts
were under water as their reservation
was at one edge of tbe town near the
Colorado river which was out of its
basks.
On leaving Yuma our train crossed
the Colorado river into California
and eraduallv descended into a basin
the real "Great American Desert"
is dry, barren and hot There are
seventeen railway stations is the
basin, most of them little adobe
bamlets without a tree shrub or
plant to relieve the monotony.
Salton is one of the stations. It is
263 ft below sea level; here we find
a salt mill. Concentrated brine comes
from the earth for miles around, the
water evaporates, and leaves a crust
of salt, which is canied to a refinery
and made ready for sale. Al 1 arou nd
this salt mill was a large body of
water, in fact the mill was standing
in this lake, as we sunnosed. on in
quiring we were told that the water
bad recently come there and some
thought it an under sea, others
thought it come from the Colorado
river; 1 have heard since that a law
suit was in progress against au Irn
gation company near. So it evidently
came from the river.
Irrigation companies are beginning
work in this desolate reeion and if
our party were permitted to go there
in hve years 1 doubt if we would re
cognize the place. V ntil that time 1
will rememVer it as "'the country
uod forgot.
My next is concerning California,
Tender-foot,
Bynum Pleadt Guilty.
llaymoud D Bynum pleaded guilty
in ,Wke Superior court Saturday to
murder in the second degree for kill

the priuting business on December

The case of Slate against W P
Moore for seduction of Miss Lena

for the preliminary hearing. Moore
left the State and was arrested last
week in Washington City and while
being held for requisition paper, re
latives of the defeudunt compromised
and settled the case. Mr Yow form

A Warning to Parent.
Clubs, soda fountains, lute hours,
tramping the streets by unchaperon-
ed girls and such like, now alas so
common, has incalculable evil al
ways for its fruitage. The parental
government that allows it is alto
gether bad. It is in violation of
tbe rule that bums iatner anu moui-
To violate this rule is to incur
the fearful sanctions of a solemn,
holy and broken law. We sympa
thize with the blasted child and
heart broken parents, but they have
only renjied what they have sowed.
Tho man, nevertheless, who really
and guiltily works the ruin of a
young woman, is a base and deprav
ed wretch who well-nigh makes his
very life a forfeit. Nobody wants to
hang the mau who slays another for
ruining his child. Rev. K. P. Law,
in Lumberton Robesonian.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Shall it be Tariff Reform or
Railroad Rate Legislation?
The President Has Declared
For Both No Extra Session.
HHclal Corn'spniidrhi'c of the Courier
Washington, 1) C, July, 17 1905.
Is tariff reform or tariff revision
to be completely si detracted is the
question which is just now agitating
wnai iew politicians are sun in town.
That'the titriffprotected corporations,
who nave fattened themselves on the
high protected rates, of which con
sumers constantly complain, are de
termined to have this done is un
questioned. It is also unquestioned
that there is a genuine demand for
tariff reform. It has none of the
artificialities of the seeming demand
for railway rate regulation which has
of late occupied so much of space
iu uie iiuuiiu pirns, i sav uruuciuur
uemanueu because 1 honestly believe.
aud so do others who have thoroughly
investigated the matter, that the
agents of the protected trusts and
industries are really back f what
agitation there may be for railway
rate control hv the Uovernment.
The coniii-clinii between the two may
not be apparent at once, yet they are
very intimately connected.
Iliu President has declared for
both tariff revision and government
control ot railroad rates, believing
both to be absolutely necessary.
Scenting tbe danger of the elimina
tion of a part at least of their ill
gotten gains, the protected industries
combined, and by their successful
work believe that they have now
offset any immediate danger of an
overhauling of the tariff.
When u special session of Congress
in October was nrst talked ot, tbe
idea was that it should be devoted
eutirely to the question of placing
railway freight tariffs under govern
ment control. This plan the tariff
barons awl tbe "stand pat" repre
sentatives in Congress did not ap
prove of, because if carried out, it
would leave tbe regular session in
December free to a consideration of
tariff issues. So they united to in
duce the President to change his
mind about calling an extra session
of Congress, and gave as an excuse
therefor the near approach of the
November Congressional elections
and the necessity for looking out for
political fences. They wanted no
short session in November so they
fonnd a good reason for having the
President abandon that idea in the
fact that the Republican party would
have to cxDlain to the country, after
a three weeks session in which noth
ing had been accomplished, why
Congress had been called together
and allowed to run up a wholly un
necessary mileage bill of $190,000.
They alse argued that it would be
impossible to procire such railway
legislation as the Piesident desired
in such a short session.
The possibility of an extra session
being out of the way leaves the anti
tar ill revision people in a strong
strategic position. They believe the
President can be induced to press the
question of control of railway rates
at the expense of anything else. The
consideration of this legislation they
assert can be, and will be, drawn out
to an inordinate length, because at
the Senate hearings there appeared
to be no public demand for giving
to the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion tbe right to regulate railway
rates only a demand for such
amendment to the existing law as
would enable them to better deal
with the uuestion of discriminations
against individuals and localities.
With a lively fight pending on this
question, and the certainty that the
Democrats will take advantage of
it to press their claims for govern
mental ownership as the only remedy
for railway abuses, the managers of
the campaign against tariff revision
belive that any legislation regard
ing the tariff revisiou can be staved
off indefinitely. Appropriation bills
will occupy so great a portion of the
time as to help materially in their
campaign.
Tbe deficit in the Treasury receipts
must be made good and made go-d
rapidly. To that end the people who
are opposed to tariff revision will
urge strongly, persistently and pro
bably effectively, the reinstitutiou of
internal revenue taxation on sch
necessities as beer, cigars, tobacco,
tea, coffee and other things of daily
use in the life of the common people,
that they aro pleased to term lux
uries. This combination thu opponents
of tariff revisiou believe will enable
them to carry through their program
which is in short to make tbe rail
roads and the common people the
fenders that will keep the law makers
away from the tariff schedules, and
permit the tariff barons to enjoy two
years more of their present exorbitant
profits.
1 feel certain that there is less oi
real heart interest and mora dem-
aroguery and artificiality in this
talk about railroad rate legislation
than in auy issue political or semi
political that has been before tbe
country in decade.
