THE WASHINGTON
LIFE
My dear old friend Randall, ol the
Augusta Herald, chides me for even
hinting that if I was Voung I would
go to Texas. He left his good old
State when, he was young, but he !
loves her none the less, and his heart j
went back to herwhen he tuned hisj
heart and sang, "Mv Maryland." ;
And so it is with the Georgians in !
Texas, and so it is with those from
every Southern State, who now make
up the population of her woods and i
plains. State pride is a stronger tie I
thaft we think, and Jthg, love of our j
birthplace and the scenes of our child
hood grow stronger with advancing
years. 1 he fc.xile oi hsm, and
"The Old Oaken Bucket" will never
cease to find an echo in our hearts.
A good, motherly woman who keeps
a drummers' hotel in a Texas town
heard some of the citizens talking to
me about the wonderful State, and
after they had left us, she looked
around cautiously and ajmost whis
pered, "Major, this is indeed a great
State and people are coming to it
from everywhere, but somehow I
have never felt contented here since
my husband died. My heart is away
back in deaf Georgia, and if anybody
back there is doing reasonably well
I would advise them to stay espec
ially the married women. Young
men can come and marry these Texas
girls and settle down and that is all
right."
These widows' hotels in Texas
towns are almost universal and are
the outgrowth of the drummers' long
ings fora home or something like "a
home. They are not on the public
square, but are cosy cottages a little
way out, and they have been built
onto as the patronage increases. The
widow is motherlv and her girls are
sisterly and everything is neat and
nice. The drummers come and go
with every train, and they are a bright,
well-mannered class. I found a good
little hotel at "Blanket" that had a
very novel sign "Cooking is not a
lost art in this house and a bed means
rest." There is no discount on the
table fare in Texas. It is good every
where. The drummers make it good.
i hey demand it. W hen people are
away off from home and feel home
sick or have the blues, they attach
more importance to nourishing the
stomach, for there is the seat of the
emotions and the affections. Soio
mon tells us of bowels of mercy
bowels of compassion. A good din
ner will comlort a lonesome man
more than a sermon or a whole book
of philosophy.

dividing line between the prairie land
and the timber. Nothing will grow
men upon tne plains. 1 ne sou is
rich and deep; it produces from sixty
to one hundred bushels of oats and
fifty bushels of corn and twenty-five
bushels of wheat and r ,000 pounds
of cotton to the acie. It brings a
world of grass without seedine, and
yet you can't .make a tree grow thirty
feet high, except the pecans in the
pecan region. ou can travel 200
miles on a stretch and not see a
tree twenty feet high. Ever and
anon a mesquite orchard comes in
sight and it looks exactly like an
abandoned peach orchard on poor
land, or yOu will see on some rising,
rocky hill a scattering growth of black
jacks that look like an old apple
orchard. The trees spread out, but
won't grow tall. The fruit trees all
spread out and even the Le Conte
pear, which is naturally a tall and
cone-shaped tree, loses its shape. My
friends, the Wright brothers, who
moved from Rome years ago to Ft.
Worth and have gotten rich, are ex
perimenting with all sorts ot trees for
shade around their beautiful homes.
They have got the lombardy poplars,
which, in Georgia, run up and al
most kiss the sky, but they will never
reach thirty feet in Texas. They
sent away off and got elms and water
oaks, but they will stop stubbornly
at their present height. Nevertheless,
there is an abundance of one-story
shade all around the houses and the
umbrella china spreads wider and its
foliage is more dense than I ever saw
it elsewhere. Texas corn does not
grow higher than a man's head. The
ears hang low and heavy. Fodder
is never pulled. Texas cotton is
about waist-high and full of fruit.
Texas wheat and oats are short
stemmed, and even Texas ponies are
short legged. The tallest growth I
saw of anything was the ears of a
Texas rabbit. I saw the beautiful
city of Cleburne. A friend took
me out to drive and said he wanted
me to see a splendid grove where
they were going to make a park.
"Now isn't that perfectly lovely?"
said he.
I bowed assent, of course, but I
couldn't help thinking what a failure
it was compared with the magnificent
oaks that adorn the lawn in Iront of
my Georgia home.
The country around Cleburne,
Waco and Hillsboro is the richest
and most lovely of any I found in
my limited travels. It is gently un
dulating and the soil somewhat waxy.
It is thickly settled and in a high
state of cultivation, pronucing easily
one hundred bushels of oats, a bale
of cotton and thirty bushels of wheat
to the acre. Thousands of tons of
hay are harvested and it sells for $6
a ton. Wheat is 60 cents, oats 20
cents and corn 25 cents a bushel. Of
course the farmers complain of these
prices, and I saw a third party paper
which had in large type, "Oats $1.05
a bushel in Atlanta, Ga., and only 20
cents here. The railroads get the
rest." Of course this was not true,
but it was politics, and politics, they
say, is h 1. It makes me sick and
sad this war upon railroads by the
demagogues of the country. I cannot
understand it. But few of them make
any money down South more than
half of them are in the hands of
receivers. It looks like tnere is a
conspiracy between unscrupulous
lawyers and office-seeking editors and
prejudiced juries to ruin them, and
they are doing it. Railroads are a
necessity and they carry civilization
wherever they go. If they were to
stop running for a week it would
shock and paralyze the commerce of
the country. Any other business can
stop at will, but not railroads. The
fiat is, "You shall run and you shall
carry at our price whether you can
afford it or not."
No, I am not going to encourage
our young men to go to Texas, but
I am constrained to say that there
are many young men who are no
account at home who would do some
thing away off where there were no
kindred to lean upon. The bridge
would be burned behind them and
they would go to work. There is
another class who are willing to work,
but can't find work to do. They
ought to go somewhere. Every town
in Georgia has its overflow. Eighteen
young men of Cartersville have gone
to Atlanta and are just scratching
along for enongh to pay for board
and clothes. There will be eighteen
more next year. If they were to
tret out to some new town like Cole
man or Dublin or Brownwood or San
Angelo they could go to work. This
might not please them, but if they
meant business they would soon find
something that would. When the
Wright brothers left Rome a few
1
years ago iney were not mucn ac-
have passed since then, and the
other day while I was in Dublin a
man called to see me and said he
was the son of an old friend of mine,
who went to school with me for
many years. I looked at him hard
and thoughtfully and said : "You
look like Overton Young." "I am his
son," he said. What a curious my
stery is memory. How strange that
those lineaments have been resting
asleep for years and years and so
suddenly come to life in the face of
his son. Their father long since
dead and here are his children at
home in Texas and married and are
respected and prosperous. He ac
companied me to Stephensville, where
I domiciled under his roof and
several times caught myself calling
him Overton but his name is Lee
Bob Lee, of course.
On my return I came from Dallas
to Texarkana and when I reached the
timber I saw signs of Georgians all
along the route. I saw goober patches
and tall corn with the fodder pulled
and old fields grown up in pine
thickets and here and there a gully.
Texarkana is the gateway for Ten
nesse and North Carolina and North
Georgia. There I took the Iron
Mountain route for Memphis, a route
I had never traveled, and I liked it.
The chair cars recline and are as good
as a sleeper and you wake up in
Memphis with an hour to spare for
the next train homeward. The
Memphis and Charleston has greatly
improved since I was over it last. It
has better cars and makes better
time, but the old Western and Atlan
tic always makes me happy when I
board it at Chattanooga homeward
bound. Farewell, Texas till I come

taken on a new lease of life. He has
built him a comfortable house within
easy reach of his children and all he
lacks now is a few shade trees. I
wish that I could give him one or
two of mine. There are sixty-four
in my lawn and if I had Aladdin's
lamp I could move them and sell
them for $500 apiece in Ft. Worth.
But then they have the gentle Texas
breeze that is ever blowing either,
but breathing on you by day and
fanning you by night. I found it
everywhere and it is so universal that
they don't think about it nor talk
about it. The water problem
seems to have been solved pretty
generally over the State, for they
sink artesian wells at small cost. They
bring up pure water near the surface
and the pump or the wind-mill does
the rest. Everywhere you go you
will see the wind wheels turning. I
found no running streams, such as we
have here, but every farm has a sink
somewhere that holds water like a
jug, or it has a bayou that winds
along for miles and furnishes a sup
ply for many farmers and wash-holes
for their hogs. Around Waco for a
radius of 100 miles is called the rich
man's country, for a poor man can't
buy nor rent, and it takes three or
four horses to pull the plows. He
can hire out, though for good wages.
Farther west, in the Brownwood
region, is called the poor man's
country, where the soil is easier and
one horse or mule is tolerated, though
you generally see two to a plow.
They are turning land now all over
Texas. I got an idea of the immigra
tion at Stephensville when
the office of Mr. Lee Young and saw
him make out seven deeds or leases j
in about an hour for that number of
settlers. He represented a large tract
of land, and was selling on three
years' time for eighty-acre farms.
The purchaser risked nothing but his
improvements in case he concluded
to change his base. There were no
trees to cut down, no grubbing, no
new ground, no barns to build
nobody builds barns. The climate is
so mild that the stock stays out of
doors and eats grass all winter. The
corn is stacked until ready to be
shucked and shelled for market. The
hay is baled in the fields ; even the
mowers and reapers take the weather.
When I was a boy I went to school
with Overton Young, but he went

I lost sight of him. Forty-five years

Mr. F. A. Woodard, of Wilson,
the Democratic nominee for Con
gress in this district, addressed the
Cleveland and Carr club of Kinston
last Friday evening. He was intro
duced by Mayor W. D. Pollock.
Mr. Woodard is a plain, but logi
cal and forcible speaker. His speech
may be characterized as strong. He
said :
I am the nominee of the Scot
land Neck convention and therefore
the regular Democratic candidate for
Congress. I feel that I am not
1 T
among strangers, because 1 remem
ber with gratitude that it was the
vote of Lenoir county given
unanimity on the last ballot
gave me the nomination.
The honor came to me unsolicited,
but I felt tha' I could not decline to
serve my party in this hour when
our country's greatest interests are at
stake.
I am not here to abuse any man.
I came to reason with you. I recog
nize that our people are honest and
that they will do what they believe
to be right and best. I shalL show
you that division among the white
race will be suicidal. If I cannot
show you that the Democratic party
has ever been true, we will abandon
it together. What has it done in
and for North Carolina ?
Our people are told not to listen
to Democratic speakers. We boast
of freedom of speech as an inaliena
ble right, and has it come to this?
Are men to shut their eyes and stop
up their ears for fear of hearing the
truth ?
Why are they advised not to
hear ? The leaders of the Third
party know that a free and fair dis
cussion will destroy them.
My friends, the Democratic party
is going to control tne tate ana tne
country. 1 his district is to be re
deemed. The white race is going to
rule.
At Wrightsville, where the gal
lant old soldiers were gathered to
gether a lew days ago, it was shown
by a poll that there was but one
Third party man out of 1,200 men.
And that man promised that he
would go home and vote the Demo
cratic ticket in November.
In their Raleigh convention the
Third party folks denounced the
Democratic party, but from their ut
terances you would never know that
such a party as the Republican was
in existence.
The Democratic party has never
failed the people yet. It has always
responded to the call 01 the people
in their need, so far as it has been
able. In 1870 that party came into
power. What was the condition ot
the State in August, 1870? Some
of the young men before me were
not old enough to remember, but
older men can never forget it. I re
member a telegram that came to my
town that year, announcing that the
governor of the State was waging
war against the people. Martial law
had been declared in several counties
in time of peace. Some of the best
men of the State were arrested and
imprisoned. The same party that
did this, increased the public debt ol
the State $26,000,000 in two years.
And yet you are told to turn a deaf
ear to that old story.
But you cannot forget it. Your
taxes were increased, and your pub
lic school fund squandered and spir
ited away. What did our people do
then when they faced a common
danger, when the Republican party
was robbing the State of its credit?
The white people did not divide, but
stood shoulder to shoulder until they
had buried the iniquitious Republi
can party so low that it has never
been resurrected.
Talk about financial relief! Why,
the Democratic party accomplished
the greatest financial reform in the
history of the country. It reduced
our state debt Irom 40,000,000 to
$8,000,000, and to-day North Caroli
na bonds are quoted in the markets
of the world as high as any. The
The Democratic party has never
squandered a dollar of the public
school fund. The party has made
great internal improvements, has
built asylums, etc., and yet the State
tax is the-lowest ol any in the Union.
The men who are leading this
Third party movement are not hon
est; they are disgruntled office seek
ers. They are in the movement to
aid the Republican party. I believe
the record shows this to be the truth.
In May the largest Democratic
convention ever assembled, com
posed of all classes of our people,
nominated Elias Carr, a farmer and
an Allianceman for governor. Holt
had made a good governor, and was
entitled to the nomination accord
ing to party usage, but "the con
vention yielded to the demands
of the people and nominated a far
mer for governor of the State. But
ler said it was a good ticket and the
duty of every Allianceman to sup
port it. He said that division meant
Republican rule, and yet they have
met in Raleigh since and, with Butler
as chairman of the convention, they
put out a ticket to divide the white
vote of the State. Harry Skinner
was nominated by acclamation. Why
isn't he the nominee to-dav? Rp-
w'tn j cause he accepted it only on condi-
that! firm that if at anv Virvnr Vi chnnlrl coo.
that his remaining in the field would
endanger white supremacy he be al
lowed to withdraw. If it had been a
convention of patriots, if they had re
remembered the dark record of the
Republican party, they would have
endorsed what he said. But they
didn't view it in that way. Exum
arose and said : "We have made a
grand mistake;" and this is the man
the Third party put in Skinner's
stead. He is willing to jeopardize
white supremacy, and willing to run
il it does turn the State over to the
Republican party.
1 saw Col. Skinner on his way
home from that convention and asked
him, what it meant. I said, "Are
your people willing to do this ?" He
said, the men who had been Demo
crats endorsed his words in Ral
eigh, but the trouble was that that
convention was controlled by Re
publicans. It was the Republican
sentiment there that downed Skinner.
Are you going to join hands with
this movement. Over one-third and
I think even half of the men in that
convention were Republicans
The Republican party is going to
put out a State ticket, and that means
negro rule if we divide. Let's think
about the results of our action before
we make up our minds.
You say there lsgrtat financial de
pression. We all know and deplore
that fact. You chanre Cleveland
with being a gold bug. It is a slan-
j der. Cleveland is as free from and
i as independent of the money as any
1 man in America. He is the son of a
j Presbyterian minister, born and
I brought up on the farm. His every
public act has been in the interest of
I the people. 1 am astonished that
j any Southern man can feel aught
j against the best friend it has ever had
! in the North. When he became
! President, he saw that the South had
: been ignored and his first act was to
j appoint three of the ablest Southern
I men to positions in his cabinet. And
when he appointed his foreign min
isters he came to North Carolina and
took one of the truest and best men
our State has yet produced, and sent
him to the high post of Minister to
Brazil ; and he put Lamar, one of the
ablest men in the South, on the Su
preme Court bench, when a vacancy
occured. He had the courage to
appoint Lamar, although he knew
that Lamar had stood in his place in
the Senate the year before and said,
after an attack had been made on the
South and Jefferson Davis, that as
long as ne lived he would not sit
silent and hear left Davis and the
South slandered as rebels. He said
he flung the slander back into the
teeth of the South's traducers.
To return, you charge that Cleve
land is a gold bug. .Why, don't you
know that money defeated him four
years ago ? When he was installed
as President, he said that millions of
dollars were piled up in the treasury
above what was necessary for the
expenses of the government. He
tried to stop this robbery and to break
down the giant trusts. A bill was
j passed through the Democratic
House to reduce the tarin, but the
Republican Senate killed it. And
you know what followed. You re
member that the money kings raised
the largest election fund ever con
tributed to defeat Cleveland. One
man raised $400,000 in the city of
Philadelphia, and as a reward he is
to-day a cabinet officer.
Cleveland saved fifty-six millions of
dollars to the country by vetoing the
dependent pension bill and you
know that helped to deleat him.
In 1888, just after his defeat, when
he had no thought of ever again being
a candidate, he said, "in every public
act I have had in my mind one man
only the American fafmer."
Cleveland vetoed the fraudulent
pension bills, but Weaver in three
Congresses advocated the passage of
a bill to tax the people $300,000,000
to pay the Union soldier the differ
ence between greenbacks he received
and the value of gold. And yet I
hear some men say they can't vote
for Cleveland, but will vote for Weav
er. Can honest, patriotic citizens 01
North Carolina vote for Weaver after
he has cursed you and your fathers
as he has done ?
It Cleveland is a tool of the money
power, why didn't New York vote
for him in the Chicago convention ?
You say he is opposed to free
coinage. He is not. He stands upon
the Democratic pladorm, which favors
the free coinage of snVer, but demands
that it be an honest dollar containing
100 cents instead of only 68. Before
Cleveland would accept the nomina
tion he demanded to see the plat
form upon which he was to stand. It
was telegraphed to him and he ap
proved it.
Why do we want free coinage ?
There is not an ounce of silver ore in
North Carolina. We want it be
cause we belieye it will increase the
currency. Cleveland is opposed to
the Stewart bill, which provides that
that the silver mine owner could take
68 cents to the treasury department
and have it stamped as a dollar. Do
you want that? Cleveland believes
that is wrong, and it is wrong. Stew
art owns more silver mines that any
man in America and while the bill
was before Congress it was proved
that Stewart was lending money to
the people of Nevada and taking
notes payable in gold only.
The Republican party demonetiz
ed silver in 1873. The Democratic
party will restore it when they ob
tain control of the government. Two
thirds of the Democrats in Congress
voted for free coinage. It is well
known that Harrison is opposed to
free coinage and would veto the bill
if passed. A vote for Weaver is
almost a vote for Harrison. Division
means the election of Harrison, and
free coinage will never come while
he is President.
We want more money, but we
want something else too. There is
more money in the United States
than there has been at any time since
the war. You can hardly believe it,
yet it is true. There was $15 per
capita then, there is $24 now. Where
is it? In the banks of the north. You
can borrow it tnere at 1 ana 2 per
cent interest, it is so plentiful. But
you can't get it here at all. Under
the present financial system, the
money is all taken from the south to
the north through the drainage of
the tariff. Out of $500,000,000 paid
into the treasury annually only one
twentieth of it comes here. It makes
no difference how much the currency
is increased the money will be con
tinually drained to the north, un'ess
you repeal the tariff and the revenue
tax.
Why is cotton so low ? Cotton
sold for 9 and 10 cents under Cleve
land's administration ; but when the
McKinley bill became a law, cotton
dropped immediately. The English
manufacturers buy three-fourths of
our cotton,
hibited their
the national banks a monopoly. It
effected that Now the Democratic
platform favors the repeal of that
tax. If it is taken off, it will cripple
the national banks and we will have
our old banks again. We are agreed
on this; the Democratic party can
win, if you will give it your votes,
while you cannot accomplish any
thing by dividing that strength.

When I was speaking at White
flail a man spoke out and said, if you
can show me a single law passed by
the Democrats in the last congress
that would benefit the people I will
vote the Democratic ticket. He
asked for one, and I pointed him to
the bill putting bagging and ties on
the free list. The senate, which is
Republican, pigeon-holed it. If it had
passed it would have" been of great
benefit to the cotton farmer. He
asked for but one, but I will throw in
an extra one. The Democrats passed
a bill through the house putting wool
on the free list. This was also killed
by the senate.
When we were building our church
in Wilson the contractor said, if you

your tin now, don't wait until next
month when tin will go up. We
asked him why it would go up and
he said because the McKinley bill
goes into effect then. And tin did
go up and is up yet.
