The locreucd value of farm pro-

estimated by Secretary Wilson to be
"not less than $500,000,000."

Major Joseph 1). Say era will soon
make his formal announcement as a
candidate for Governor. He is very
favorably spoken of for that office
and his friends are legion.—Star
Vindicator.
Maior Joseph D. Sayers ha* con-
sented to make the race for gover-
nor. He is a man upon wbom all
factions of democracy can unite.
He is a consistent bimelallist aud a
conservative statesman in other re-
spects. He will be elected easily.—
Cuero Record.
Though a married man, Editor (Jil-
lette of the Karnes County News per-
petrates the following: It is said
that sugarine, which is claimed to be
500 times sweeter than ordinary su-
gar, is to be introduced in this co'wi-
tp. There is already plenty of it in
Texas. It walks around iu big lumps
aod wears dresses.
Among the eminent members of
the United States senate who can
never be president because they were
boru in a foreign country are Knute
Nelson, of Minnesota; Ciallinger, of
New Hampshire; Jones, of Nevada;
McMillan, of Michigan; Mantle, of
Montana; Pasco, of Florida; and
Sewell, of New Jersey.
Hill Arp in his letter to the Atlanta
Constitution says that "Mr. Roberts,
who farms on l'umpkin Vine Creek,
a stream well remembered hy those
ot our boys who were with Johnson
and Hood in the Georgt.. campaign,
"feels sure of harvesting a thousand
bushels of corn from one field of ten
acres, and that he can select several
acres that will yield one hundred
anil twenty Itushels each.
We always want the good will of
every dog, because the dog is the
most trustful and faithful ut man's
friends, and t ii v-o is something
touchingly pathetic in the look of
gratitude be >estows upon his mas-
ter and benefactor—it is not so with
us as regards all men, for there are
some whose enmity we would as
soou have as their friendship—for in
that, at least, they are enduring,
and we kuow always where to place
them, while as friends we can never
be certain of them.
Collector Kaufman says no change
has been made in the Federal law
touching the cigarette question, and
as for the State law passed by tiie
last legislature, imposing an occupa-
tion tax of 810 on each cigarette
dealer, he has nothing to do. This
law, which was passed at the special
session becomes effective the l'Jlh of
September, 1H97, and the tax will be
collected by the tax collectors of the
different counties aud not by the in-
ternal revenue collectar.
Judge Spouts, of Kort Worth, a
prominent railroad man and mayor
pro tern of Kort Worth, speaking of
the gubernatorial race says: "As
to the gubernatorial race, he is of the
opinion that it i* between Sayers and
Cram- on a pretty close pull for
either. He is of the opinion that
Sayers will carry the entire pan-
handle, though Crane will possibly
win near his home. Altlirough the
belt from Waco to Corsicana, thence
on to Terrell, the race will be nip
and tuck between Sayers and Crane.
He beli eves that in this belt Sayers
will carry the most uoiutiea, though
he thinks that Crane will balance
that by capturing some of the large*!
voting counties. He is of the opinion
that the race will a close one all j
over the stale between these two.
W. A. Shaw, editor of the Texas
Farmer, better known as Fanner
Shaw, thus discourses in the Galves-
ton News, of August 29th:
"You are reported, Mr. Shaw, as
being for Mr. Sayers; is that true?"
"Yes, that is true. You see I'd
have to be for him ou general princi-
ples. We were in the same com-
mand—Torn Green's, both starting
in Green's old regiment. I knew
him well in those days, although he
did not kuow me, as 1 was only a
pound private and often iu the
rear ranks. At Bisland the major,
as commander of the Val Verde bat-
tery, was so thoughtless as to get iu
front of a yankee bullet, while I was.
close to the groud behind a railroad
dump. This put him on crutches,
which he could uot discard until af-
ter the close of the war. I thought
it very indiscreet in him to do it,
but he insisted upon getting back
into the army as soon as possible.
Although supple, his wound would
not admit of his again taking com-
mand of his battery. Hut the major
was just the sort of a young fellow
(lie was young then), that old Tom
Green loved, and he became one of
his staff officers. At Maustield,
while I was eXcTuising my utmost
discretion in keeping a big tree be-
tween myself and Mr. Yankee, Ma-
jor Joe's want of judgment caught
another bullet. General Green was
killed at Hlair's lauding a few- days
afterward. So when the major got
able for service he was assigned to
General Dick Taylor's staff. So you
see 1 could uot help being for une
who has thus shared the terrors and
dangers of war with men; that is,
the major had more than his share
of the dangers, while I was amply
provided with more than may share
of the terrois. In addition to this,
1 think we ought to give the old
'confeds' a chance where not dis-
qualified by the infirmities of age.
1'hat gallant host we call 'young
democracy' have many years ahead,
but it will be only a few more now
that they can show their love for the
lost cause of their fathers. The
youngest soldiers of the war are al-
most old men now, aud by aud by
the number grows less when the roll
is called. I believe the 'boys' will
show their appreciation of this fact
in the hearty support extended Ma-
jor Sayers."
"You referred just now to—"
The balance of the scribe's ques-
tion was lost in the rapid enuncia-
tion of the 1" arrucr.
"Hut," continued Mr. Shaw, "this
is not the only reason for supporting
him. He seems to me the most
available man for many reasons.
His congressional record is without
a parallel-—not only among Texas
congressmen, but in the entire coun-
try. He is a hard worker and a
studious man. He first posts him-
self fully aud then proceeds to cor-
rect abuses. It is safe to say he
has done the most efficient work in
congress, from the standpoint of
economy, done there since the war,
and has thus saved millions of dol-
lars to the people. And we need
that sort of a governor, a money
making governor. Hogg began the
real reform iu this direction. Cul-
berson followed in the same line,
every stroke of his keen ax lopping
off the useless branches, and now
we need Sayers to about complete
the work. 1 am not authorized to
speak for him, but 1 venture to as-
sert that if Sayers is governor the
people will not remain much longer
under the burden of a quarter of a
million dollars of interest on bonds
annually. He'll dead sure propose
some expedient to get riil of nearly
four millioms of bonded debt. He
won't, I dare say, try to substitute
incompetency for competency by
recommending big cuts iu clerks'
salaries in the different departments,
but it is a good two to one bet he'll
want to lop off all useless and un-
democratic official appendages. The
people know he is a sure enough
economist—no buncombe about it."
The Texas State school fund is re-
ported to be once more ou a cash
basis' for the first time in five years.
It is to be hoped the fund may here-
after be managed so that the public
school teuchcrs of the state shall
never again be compelled to hawk
their vouchers around broker's shops
aud lose a big percent, on their hard
earned money iu discounts.

MILLS AND SAYER8.
LaGranok, Tkxas, August 26.—
The Post reporter met l)r. I. E.
Clark of Schulenhurg the other day.
The doctor is a staunch democrat and
one of the strongest inter-party
lighters in this section, ami he is an
exceptionally good hustler at the
polls. He is always active and never
has been known to be on the fence in
a horse race, when good blood is put
to the test, or in a politicial campagin.
When asked to give his views on the
political situation the doctor said:
"I am for Roger (j. Mills for sen-
ator for lirst choice and for Charlie
Culberson second. 1 think we ought
to keep Mills at least one other term
and shall so vote to instruct our
nominees for the legislature."
"What about governor?"
"Well, there are several men out
or will be out who would make good
governors, but in my mind the great-
est Roman of them all is Honest Joe
Sayers of Hastrop. Sayers as gover
nor would do Texas proud ; his dem-
ocracy is unimpeachable and he would
make a governor of w hom all parties in
the State would feel proud. 1 tell
you the republicans, populists and
prohibitionists would feel that he is
their governor as well as democrats,
for he would make his administra-
tion one that would indeed convince
us that this is yet a government by
the people, of the people and for the
people.—Houston Post.

Hon. L. J. Wortham who has been
on an extended tour through Central
and Northern Texas, referring to the
gubernatorial race says: "Hut you
want to keep your weather optic
fastened on M. M. Crane and the
silent man from Hastrop. They are
the favoiites at the post now.
Whether the otitis will change when
the entries are all in and the (lag
about to drop, I don't know. Lots
of good citizens are ready to tell you
what a useful representative of ail
the people the man from Hastrop has
been for so many years and every
now aud then you meet an old chap
with the white touch of age iu his
beard or hair and a square enameled
button on which anpears the old stars
and bars, in the lappel of his coat.
You hear this soldier-citizen say
something about Sayers' battery and,
you'd as well try to make a Virginia
cadet forget the greatness of Jack-
son as to make this man consider
any other man for Governor than
Joe Sayers.
The tariff bill has passed but the
poor workingmsn has not yet found
wherein it helps him any. The
trusts have made two h indred mil-
lion dollars out of it already, but the
poor workingmen who were promised j
so much prosperity if McKinley was
elected are now, thousands of them,
iu the coal regions on what seems to
be a hopeless strike for higher w ages.
As often as the tariff barons and
goldbug politicians promise good
times to the workingmsn in exchange
for his vote, just so often will the
workingmsn get left or swindled.—
