REASONS WHY
BROWNSVILLE LINE
SHOULD BE BUILT
North Texas Mao Says Souiliwes
Texas Is Most Prosperons
Section of the State.
THIS IS THE TIME 10
START THE RAILROAD
This is the acceptable time for the
starting of a project to build a railroad
between San Antonio and Brownsville,
declares T. C. Bishop, a real estate
deaJ&i of Paris, who is at the New Alav-
ericK Hotel.
"SoutL Texas is the most prosperous
part of the whole Stat* at present, ' said
Air. Bishop. The people of this part of
the State have more* money to spend now
than they have had for many years.
Prosperity fairly bubbles from South
Texas soil and any legitimate business
project will receive support in that ter-
ritory. This is the time to start the
railroad, because it will receive support
and also because it is badly needed.
Houston is taking valuable trade from
San Antonio on that very account. A
line directly into that country would
open up a veritable min» of business for
the jobbing and manufacturing Interests
of this place."
Air. Bishop has just returned from a
stay at Corpus Christ!. He says that
place Is particularly anxious to get the
proposed road.

CLOSING DAY OF
WEST. TEXAS FAIR
CROWNS EVENT
Clear Sky and Agreeable Tern*
perature Made Enjoyment of
Crowds Without Flaw.
MANY EXHIBITS WILL
COME TO SAN ANTONIO
Special Telegram to The Express.
KLERRVILJjE. Tex., Aug. 21.—Yester-
day, the third and last day of the West
Texas Pair, opened with a clear sky and
remained so until the gates were finally
closed at ni^ht. It would be hard to
place an estimate on the crowd that vis-
ited the ground# yesterday, though prac-
tically the entire population of the town,
with hundreds who arrived on trains, in
carriages an<l automobiles from the sur-
rounding towns taxed thd grounds to their
capacity.
J. M. Vance, secretary of the San Au»
tonio international Pair Association spent
the day in Kerrville, returning with the
San Antonio delegation this morning.
With reference to the fair he s^ld; Kerr-
ville has done herself proud. The fair
was indeed one of the best I nave attend-
ed. I have secured a number of the
exhibits, which will bo brought to our
fair. Some of the exhibits are unusually
good, and "being sPMe to bring them here
next month will add to our long list of
exhibits from Texas."
"The races," said one Pan Antonio vis-
itor, "were as pood as anything we have
had in San Antonio, and as for a crowd,
well, the city had her hands full. How-
ever. we were well cared for; In fact, the
San Antonio delegtttUV was given spe-
cial attention."
SECOND DAYOF FAIR
Fully Five Thousand People Passed
Through the Gates and Saw Fine
Show—Some Prize Winners.
STUDIES IN ANTHROPOLOGY.
Special Telegram to The Express.
KERRVILLE, Tex., Aug. 21.—Fully
5000 people passed through tho gates yes-
terday. A hard shower of rain about
1:30 o'clock p. m. did not hamper the as-
sociation in tho least.
The fair grounds are not without the
side shows and the many fakirs that
seem to be an actual necessity to all
fairs.
The Ladies' Hall deserves special men-
tion. The enure hall has been under
the management of Mrs. G. F. Schreiner
and her assistants, Mesdames H. Iiem-
schel, George Morris, H. W. Morelock,
J. Pampell, M. A. Parsons, i^has.
Real, Cecil Hobinson, C. C. .^ockett, M.
R. Braggins, B. B. Lawrence, Misses
Clara Hersog and Lynn Burnett.
Some Fine Exhibits.
Among the exhibits in the ladles' hall
that deserve special mention are a collec-
tion of imported laces owned by Mrs. G.
K. Gordon of Junction, and a beautiful
net flouncing exhibited by Mrs. M. R.
Braggins of this city. The collection of
imported curios exhibited by Cant. G.
Iv. Gordon of Junction, which consists nf
all the valuable relics imaginable, have
been a great help toward making the
ladies' hall the center of attraction; also
the curios of the Misses Huntington of
this city are very fine. A family heir-
loom. a silver cream pitcher, exhibited
by Mrs. c. c. Lockett, is very odd and
valuable. A chair displayed and owned
by Mrs. C. M. Mason of this city that
is 250 years old, has passed through the
Galveston flood in 1875 and also in
and through a great fire and is a good
and sound chair today is one of the val-
uable relics on exhibition in the ladies'
hall. The curio department has been un-
der the abb; management of Mesdames
J. L. Pampell and H. Remschel.
The art department, under the manage-
ment of D. H. Huntington, has been
carefully prepared.
The comprehensive exhibit of the Tivy
High School is under the care of Super-
intendent H. W. MorelocV
The bread and cakes, fancy work, the
usual collection of quilts and rugs, the
needle work by women over 60 years of
age, has added greatly to this depart-
ment. A collection of laces by Mrs E.
Dietert, who is 76 years old, Is a very
fine exhibit.
The flower department, under the rw.
pervision of Misses Lallah Goodman and
Thorne Remschel and Lee Masty Jr., is
one of the largest and finest.

sidering the condition of the track from
the shower of rain. Results:

Red Nell won, Compon second, Nettie
Harrison third.

FREDHRTCKSBITRG, Tex.. Aug. 21.—
It is learned here from an authentic
source that Adolph Gold of this place,
who has been prominently mentioned as
the logical nominee of the Republicans
of this district for Congress, will decline
the nomination if tendered to him by the
convention that will convent here tomor-
row.
While Mr. GrHd appreciates the confi-
denre manifested in him by the mombers
of his party, yet business matters in
which he is engaged will prevent him ao
rfpting the nomination and he will not be
th«-* nominee with his consent.
The only way In which he could become
the nominee would be for the convention
to nominate him over his earnest pro-
test. and In that event only will he be-
come a candidate for Congress.
Expressions from several of the most
prominent Republlrans here indicate that
they are opposed to putting In nomina-
tion either a candidate for Congress, for
the Senate or for Representative.

NEGRO ATTEMPTS MURDER.
Posse In Pursuit of Farm Hand and
Lynching Probable.
NATCHEZ, Miss., Aug. 21.—A posse of
Louisianans are in pursuit of Henry
Walker, a negro, who this morning at-
tempted to assault Robert D. Clayton In
the Jatter's store at Clayton Station,
Conrordia Parish, eighteen miles west of
.Natchez.
Walker was a field hand on Clayton's
plantation, and without reason entered
the store with a shotgun and fired one
shot, which went wild, arid then ran for
the woods.
Clayton was unarmed and could not
pursue the negro at the time. He tele-
phoned to Sheriff Campbell at Vidalia
and a posse left that place at once.
Clayton was known to have money ir.
his store to pay off his hired "hands, and
it is thought the object of the negro was
robbery as well as murder.
Walker Is a desperate character, and
the posse will bo compelled to kill him.
as he will not bo taken alive.

TARIFF.TAXES ALL
FOR BENEFIT OF FEW,
SAYS W. J. BRYAN
Democratic Candidate Delivers a
Tariff Speech to Large Au-
dience at Iowa Capital.
BENEFICIARIES OF LAW
GIVE CAMPAIGN. FINDS
DES MOINES, Iowa. Aug. 21. -W. J.
Bryan, Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent, addressed a large audience here to-
day on the tariff Issue as expounded in
the Democratic platform.
Mr. Bryan said in part:
"Are wo- not justified in saying that
'the people cannot safely entrust the ex-
ecution of this important work to a
party which is so deeply obligated to tho
highly protected interests as is tho Re-
publican party'? The 'fat frying' process
lias become familiar to the American
people. Pressure has been brought to
bear upon tiie protected interests every
lour years—and to a less extent in the
Congressional campaigns between Presi-
dential elections—to compel contribu-
tions to the campaign fund iu return for
former favors and in anticipation of fa-
vors yet to come. It is difficult to over-
estimate the corrupting influences in-
troduced into the political life of the Na-
tion by this partnership between the
Uovernment and the favored industries.
'J ne literature circulated in support ui a
protective tariff has studiously culti-
vated the idea that suftrago should be
employed to secure pecuniary returns,
and the appeol made oy trie Republican
leaders has come to be more ana more a
selfish one. Every man engaged In a
protected industry has been approached
with the proposition that it is dollars in
his pocket to maintain tlie system, wi»4lo
those who could not possibly trace any
tangible benefits to themselves have been
beguiled with the assurance that It wad
ail a matter of public spirit and that
they ought to support the system out of
patriotic love of country. If attention
was ualled to the fact that the farmer
was taxed for the benefit of the manu-
lacturer, th»^ triple answer was that it
would come back to him Indirectly; that
it dkl not amount to much for each
farmer anyhotf, and that a man was
small-minded who would begrudgo so in-
significant a contribution to the Nation's
prosperity. The plan has been to keep
the taxpayers quiet by keeping them in
the dark as to the operation of the law,
nnd then to concentrate the votes and
influence of the tax eaters In favor of
a continuation of high tariff legislation.
If a tariff of DO per cent was imposed
upon a given article of merchandise, it
was assumed that th#se engaged in tho
production of the article would contrib-
ute liberally to keep up the tariff. It
was also assumed that the employes
would voto with their employers to keep
from having their wages reduced, and It
was expected that the business men of
the town would also vote for the tariff
because of the business brought to the
community by the protected industry.
Thoeo who are aequainted with the tariff
fight know to what an extent the pe-
cuniary argument has been used. The
recent Republican platform is a. bugle
call to every beneflelnry of sperlal priv-
ilege to enlist again under the Republi-
can banner, and when tho election is
over and the Republican committee pub-
lishes the ltet of contributors—too late
to make the information valuable—it will
be found that the Republican party has
again so obligated Itself to the protected
Interests as to be unable to make a re-
vision In the Interests of the consumers.
Beneficiaries Are Contributors.
"The Republican platform says that the
tariff is intended for the American man-
ufacturers, farmers and produeers, and
especially for the wage earners. If the
farmer and the wage earner are really
the chief beneficiaries of the protective
system, will the Republican candidate
explain why the farmer and wage earner
have contributed eo little to the Repub-
lican campaign fund? Is he willing to
publish a list of contributors on the 15th
day of next October and allow the rela-
tive advantage of protection to the man-
ufacturer, the farmer and the wage
earner to be measured by the contribu-
tions received from each class? Why Is
it that the manufacturers are expected
to furnish sr> large a proportion of the
money to run the campaign, if, as the
Republicans claim, the farmer* and the
laborers enjoy so large a proportion in
the benefit* of the system? Is it not a
significant fnet that the farmers and
wage earners who are always put In the
foreground when the blessings of a high
tariff are belnq: enumerated are In the
harkground when the collections are be-
lnsr made? Is it not significant that the
manufacturers, who furnish the funds,
are so little advertised as beneficiaries?
Is It not significant also that the wage
earners, instead of the manufacturers,
are always described as 'the most direct
bcneficiarles of the protective system?'
"The method of proredure is. simple. It
Is a ease of confidence. The voters have
ronfld^nre in Republican leaders; the
leaders have confidence In a Republican
Congress; a Republican Congress has
confidence In the Ways and Means Com-
mittee; the Ways and Means Committee
has confidence In the men who represent
the trusts, and the trusts write the
tariff law and thus secure to themselves
the right to levy tribute upon the pub-
lic.

Tax AM for Benefit of Few.
"Is it right to tax all of the people for
the benefit of the few? Where a com-
munity has attempted to collect taxes
for the aid of an industry, even when th«
industry was to he located In the com-
munity. the highest court in the land
has declared such a tax to be larceny
in the form of law. If a city govern-
ment cannot rightfully tax all the peo-
ple to bring an industry Into the city,
where such benefits as are ronferred are
more easily sern and more universally
enjoved. who will say that a farmer in
the Missouri Valley can be rightfully
taxed to support an Industry in a distant
State?

the contrary. It will stimulate business
and give more employment, and a larger
demand for labor will b«» a guaranty
against the redurtlon of wages. A re-
durtlon of the tariff will reduce the ex-
tortion that ia now practiced because of
the high schedules; a reduction^ in price
will enable more people to buy,* and this
larger demand for the goods will put
more people to work and increase the
number of ind.ustrits. A lower price will
preatlv stimulate exportation, and manu-
farturcrs who are now crippled by a
tariff upon what they will use will be
better prepared to enter the contest for
supremecy In the world's trade.
"The whole aim of our party is to se-
cure Justice in taxation. We believe that
