Slxty-elRht Years Ao the First Election j
Under a Constitution in Texas was
Held With Houston Successful.
Austin Sept. 0. It is consid-
ered something of a coincidence
tha'Babor Bay 1904 should
'Have fallen on Jhe sixty-eighth
'anniversary of the first eleotion
ever held in Texas under a strict-
ly constitutional government.
On the 17th of Maroh 1830
following the promulgation of the
.Declaration of Independence; the.
constitution of .the repubho of
TexaB. was adopted-and the revo-
lution resulting in 'the establish-
ment of $he;freedtim of the peo-
ple followed!' ;' r
September 5th Bixty - eight
years ago yesterday the first
eleotion under this constitution
was held General Sam Houston
being eleoted president and Mt
B. Lamtfr vibe .president; arid.
annexation to) the United States
'declared 'to be practically the
unanimous will of the people.
Houston and Lamar were in-
augurated in Columbia Ootober
22nd.
General Houston was dressed
in military attire and wore the
sword used in the battle at San
Jacinto. At the conclusion of the
address he removed it from his
waist arid with that solemn dig-
nity characteristic of the man he
hdnded it to Hon. Ira Ingram
speaker of 'the house saying:
"It now becomes my duty to
make a presentation of this
sword the emblem of my past
office. I have worn it with some
humble pretention in defense of
my oountry and should the dan-
ger of my country again call f for
myuservico I expect -to resume
it and respond to that Tpall if
needful with my blood and my
life." '
These words from the first con-
stitutional president' rof the re-
public of Texas coupled with Jus
statelv personal presence arid
the dramatic manner in which he
is said 'to have uttered them
electrified both branohes of con-
gress and tne spectators and on
that day and on 'that occasion
Sam Houston'm the estimation
of all Texans was the biggest
man on earth.
yhat marvelous ohanges these
sixty years hath Wrought in
Texas! The huilding. in whioh
the fjrst president was inaugura-
ted in Columbia cost less than
$300; the present state' house is.
the seventh best building in the
world.
Extension of the Texas Central May be
Made.
Austin Texas Soptombor 0.
According to Thomas Lowlson a
stookman of; Hale county thero
is a strong probability that the
Texas Central railway will be ox.
tended froimitspresent terminal
LatStamfordito Amarillo. Thodis-
tanop is about 226 miles. Mr
iLewiaon who was'hero today oir
land business says that an en
gineering corps has been at work
for some tijne in Floyd and other
counties of that section running
the survey for a railroad which is
to; be built northwest from Stam-
ford and that it is. the. general
opinion that this extension ' is to
be that of the Texas Central
which now runs from Waco to
Stamford. The routerof this pro
posed road is through a seotion
of the Panhandle whioh is now
badly laoking in railroad trans-
portation facilities and its con-
struction willbewarmlyweloomed
by the stockmen. of that seotion.
Al Amarillo the-road will oonneot
with the Santa Pe the Rook is-
land and the Fort Worth and
Denver road thereby forming a
new and direct route between
points in Central Texas and the
Northwest. Houston Post.

Dear Sirs Pay more for Devoe;
be glad to. It is full-measure

Paint is a watoh-dog. How
would you like a watohdog that
wouldn't watch from two to five
o'clock in the morning? That's
short-measure..
How would you like a watch-
dog that had a way of wagging
his tail at a burgular? That's false
paint. The burgular is rain and

Texas Cotton Crop.
Government summary for
week ending September Cth :
The cotton crop continued to
suffer from the drouth and high
temperatures whioh prevailed the
greater portion of the. week and
the shower a of' the latter part are
ganerally reported to have oqme-
too late to be of any benefit.
Very little new fruit has been
formed and nearly all of this has
been. shed. Ab a rule tho plants
now hold only the grown or near
ly grown bolls. Boll worms are.
nowdping very little damage..
Boll weevils oontinue numerous
in the southwestern oentral
eastern-and. coast divisions and
are also present in a number of
northern oounties. They are
(destroying practically all of the
new fruit whioh appears on the
plants in those seotionB. Cotton
has opened very fast. All of the
bolls are now open in the south
western division and over half
are open in the northern ooun-
ties. Picking has progressed
rapidly considering the high
temperatures and the soaroity of
labor. The staple is generally
reported to bo rathor short and
the yield will be muoh below the
average in all seotions.
