BASTROP. TEXAS. OCT. 28.1899.
1 lie Texas flag is very appropriate
for the State I niver-itv.
Frost reported at Denison and in
Indian Territory on the 17th.
A Fannin county court declares
the lax on cotton buyers unconstitu-
tional.
The Smith county grand jury dur-
ing a nix weeks session, returned H8
indictments.
An exchange says : " Tailor made
girls with quill hats," are all the go
with the lioys these autumn days."
The Statesman reports a magnifi-
cent rain at Austin Tuesday, of last
week, continuing throughout the
day.
The Waco 'Times-Herald says:
"The Wynne boom didn't survive
long enough to catch the first frost."
Like booms will go tin- same way, so
long as Joe Sayers aspires to hold the
governorship of Texas.
Nat 1^. Henderson, in his Jiepuh-
lican gets off the following: "The
Bastrop AuvKiiTisKK says that Hon.
J. I'. Fowler, of that county, will be
a canidatc for state senator. He was
formely a senator, and was quite a
"l'et" here."
We would like to have the price of
all the whiskey the democrats drank
on 'Democratic Day" at Dallas. We
could retire and live off the interest
of our money.—Austin Republican.
Wouldn't you rather have had the
whiskey, before they drank it, Nat?
It would have given you a real,
genuine "high-lonesome."
Walter Williams, a substantial far-
mer of Iliedville, Caldwell county,
while standing near the shafting at his
gin, his clothes caught and he was
whirled around the shaft and heat to
death before assistance could reach
him. His body was badly bruised
au>A mangled.
A gentleman who has just returned
from the lumber mills of Grimes
county says that there were ninty-
three Washington county wagons
standing there awaiting their turn to
be loaded. The ferryman at the
Hrazos told him '.hat oOO wagons had
gone over from this side. A promi-
nent lumber man of this city has
gone over there to see about the
cut in price. They are selling lum-
ber there at $'. per thousand.—Hren-
ham Press.
Some papers say they are opposed
to Hailey because he is opposed to
the construction of the Nicaraguan
canal by the government. The truth
of the business is Hailey is not op-
posed to the construction of the canal
by the government. What he op-
posses is any alliance between the
government and a private corpora-
tion in said construction. Just here,
as at the Galveston convention is
where Bailey can see further ahead
than the ordinary statesman.—Kx-
change.
New York Democracy has as good
as declared for lirayn and free silver
in 1900, and in this connection Rich-
ard Croker says: "If Mr. ISryan is
nominated for the presidency 1 shall
certainly support him and do all 1
can to secure his election. I believe
that the rank and file of the Demo-
cratic party of this state and nation
demand his nomination," and the
people demand his election. W. J.
Bryan will be the next president of
these United States. This is not a
prediction but a certainty.
Says the Texas Freemason:—On
*tUioing the master's degree the
brother Is told that he has received
U the light that can be be imparted
in a master mason's lodge. It is
meant, of course, that all the ritual-
istic light has been given him, but
many, we might safely say a major-
ity, seem to think that it is the grad-
uation in masonic knowledge, in-
stead of introducing them only just
within the threshhoid of the temple
of masonic philosophy through which
they can learn the secret of leading
it correct and happy life.
; Froui The Texan Kreemanou
It is with uuqualified pleasure and
1 -ntisfactioii 'hat we announce the for-
inul opening of the Masonic Widows'
a id Orphans' Home of Texas. Dr.
Krank Rainey, tin- superintendent,
took possession on Oct. 1st, and re-
ceived two orphans, a boy and girl,
fioin Dublin, Kratli county, but the
I i mill opening did not take place till
| October'.Mil, in tiie presence of the
Hoard of Trustees, the local board,
and several of the grand olllcers, and
this inasonL' eleemosynary institu-
tion, that has cost so many years in
preparation, was at last an actual,
living fact, built up for the protec-
tion of the fatherless and the glory
of our noble order.
Bro. J. K. Miller, chairman of the
Board of Trustees, brought an
orphan with him, a girl from Gon-
zales, making the third inmate.
1 he circular letter of Superintend-
ent Rainey, issued last June, to the
lodges thoughout the state, gives the
conditions and rules under which
orphans w ill be received at the Home.
Bv this letter it will also be seen that
provision has nol yet been made for
tin care of widows, and lodges should
carefully file those instructions for
reference in case of need.
The location of this Home is on u
commanding site about four miles
southeast of Fort Worth, and it is
modern in every particular, with no
superior in the country.
LES80N8 OF MASONIO DEGREES.
The particular lessons developed
in the ritual of each degree, in the
series of which the royal arch is tlie
summit and perfection, may be sum-
marized as follows: Entered ap-
prentice, secrecy ; fellow craft, sci-
ence; master masoo, immortality;
mark master mason, charity;
past master, self control; most
excellent master, reward of merit;
and the royal arch, the realization u!
the object of masonic labor—the lost
found. It is by and through these
steps, or degrees, that masonic ritu-
alism reveals the truth to the worthy ;
to the unworthy the doors of free-
masjury should never, never be op-
ened, nor the veils of her symbolism
drawn aside; but to the just, to the
upright, and the humane, who would
penetrate her arcanum and enlist in
her service, the invitation still is*:
"Ask, and it shall be given you;
knock, and it shall be opened unto
you."—Exchange.
Build a cotton mill, is the advice
the Texas Trade Review gives to
towns in Texas. Assume, it says,
that your receipts are ten thousand
bales; 10,000 bales sold as raw cot-
ton at 5c, 8300,000; 10,000 bales
sold as cloth at 18c, 81)00,000. If
the cloth should be sent to China
(much cloth from the south is now-
being sent there) then the Chinese
would pay and sent to your town
81)00,000 for what now brings you
8300,000. This would give a profit
of 8300,000 to your town and its
neighboring people. The profit is
twice the price of the raw cotton.
This profit or additional income from
abroad goes in part to the stock-
holders and in part to the operatives,
from whom in turn it goes to neigh-
boring farmers for food Btuffs and to
merchants for clothes and groceries.
A correspondent of the Austin
Democrat sums it up that the farmer
is getting this year ten dollars per
bale more from cotton (including
seed) than a year ago, or any time
the past three years. The estimate,
says the Democrat, of 82 seed per
bale is on past market. Seed are ad-
vancing rapidly, and very few have
yet been sold, so one or two dollars
per bale may yet be added on seed
account. But even the 810 per bale
makes an enormous sum in the ag-
gregate. On the 2,A00,000 bales in
Texas, we have $25,000,000 more re-
ceived on the cotton crop this year
than any for the last three. Twenty-
five millions will help the South a
"whole lot."
Two brothers, Jesse and James
Roberts, of Alabama, w;nt into tb *
civil war, and were separated. At
the close of the war neither could
hear of the other. A few days ago
one of them saw a list of the names
of those granted pensions. On the
list was the name of his brother.
Correspondence resulted and both
met in Corsicana a few days ago and
there was weeping and rejoicing.
One is 70 years old the other is 71,

Says the Austin Tribune: The
comptrollers department today com-
menced the issuing of warrants for
pensions which were approved re-
cently by that department. The
Warrants are for 86.81, being for the
first quarter. There is 8-.r>,000 to be
apportioned for this quarter. The
first warrant was drawn by A. F.
Bridges, an old ex-confederate vet-
eran of Burnet county. Mr. Bridges
was a member of Cook's Texas regi-
ment and took part in several impor-
tant engagements.
In conversation with comptroller
Finley he stated that all applicants
whose claim has nol been passed
upon by the department, will have to
wait until the next quarter before
they can get their pension claims.
Lawrence Moon, a boy from Ohio,
who, in a moment of indiscretion,
enlisted in the I nited States regular
army, and after several month's ser-
vice in the Philippines, learning that
there were to be some promotions to
Lieutenancies in his regiment, tiled
his application with (Jeneral Otis.
There is a provision in the articles of
war, prohibiting privates from having
any communication with their com-
mander-in-chief. Moon was ignorant
of this law, but he knows more now.
For this offence he was arrested,
imprisoned, court martialed, and
sentenced to a dishonorable discharge
and confinement in Hilihib prison at.
Manila under further orders. He is
in prison now and the Governor of
Ohio is trying toget him out. Military
law is absolute tyranny, and no man
schooled to military life can be safely
intrusted with the authority over a
free people. Private soldiers are not
free people.
Lincoln said: "No man is good
enough to govern another man with-
out the other's consent. When the
white man governs himself, that is
self-government; but when he gov-
erns another man, that is more than
self-government—that is despotism.
Our reliance is in the love of liberty
which God lias planted in us; our
defense is in the spirit which prizes
liberty as the heritage of all men, in
all lands, everywhere. Those who
deny freedom to others deserve it not
themselves, and under a just God
can not long retain it."
