of a building, closed all the doors
and cut a hole in the wall, over
which he wrote: “Ginger Tea,
$i.?5 a quart." The bait took
admirably and quite a number
bought the stuff at $1.25 a quart.
When they tasted of it, however,
there was a look of agony on their
faces, uiiuglt-d with disappointment
and disgust, for it was really and
truly giuger and lea boiled together
Some of the disappointed oues made
complaint to the sheriff claiming
the fellow was perpetrating a fraud.
The sheriff investigated the matter,
jut found nothing upon which he
cauld make an arrest. He asked
the complainants what they called
brand what the individual told
them it was. Being told that the
tea man said it was ginger tea and
ginger tea was what they had
asked for, the sheriff informed them
that as they had received what
they asked for there would be noth-
ing doing in his department. So

The other fel-
lows got nothing but a had taste in
the mouth.
When a Florida uegro was legal-
ly hanged and not mobbed the
other day, an old colored man said:
“Thank God, the black man is
gettin’ his just deserts at last.”
Gov. Lanham, failing to please a
certain brand of Dallas politicians,
is complimentary to the governor.
If he really please 1 these men there
might be some ground for sus-

is that Lewis erected his lightning

The Palestine Herald is authority
for the statement that the county
attorney of Grayson county has
ruled that under the new bird law
it is unlawful to offer for sale hats
trimmed with birds or feathers,
except ostrich feathers, which are
plucked. That county attorney is
a bird! But he doesn’t come under
the list of eqemptions of the pres-
ent statutes.
out any rush or hurry adjournment
was effected before 9 o'clock. *
The most important business
transacted was the withdrawing of
the cow ordinance, aud the filing
and sustaiuiug of the mayor’s veto
of the meat peddlers ordinance.
All aldermen were present at roll
call, and after the approving of the
minutes of the September meeting,
the hearing of official reports was
taken up, there being no petitions
of any nature whatever.

Levi Robinson, a saloon man o
Cleburne, was shot and seriously
wounded by his wife Thursday
afternoon. Robinson was taking
an after dinner sleep when his wife
shot him with a revolver. The
ball passed through his left arm

which death almost resulted. The
wife was arrested and is being held

page in telling women how to hold

man a young woman never appears

John W. has already asked for

people of Texas made no mistake
in electing him. The republican

Lamp Exploded.
Friday night at the court house
one of the lamps in the old city
council chamber, in which the
younger members of the Citizens’
band were practicing, became en-
veloped in flames and if it had not
been for the coolness and nerve of
one of the members, Stroud Rai-
ley, who took the burning vessel
in his hand and rushed to a window
from where he hurled it to the
ground, a serious conflagration in
all probability would have occur-
red. The lamp exploded just as it
was turned loose, and the long
flame of burning oil as it descended
to the ground attracted consider
able notice.

people of his community, because
in no instance is there a colored
majority in any considerable terri-
tory in the North.
It is different in the South. In
many sections the black population
outnumbers the white, and, if every
male adult voted, the colored popu-
lation could fill all the offices with
negroes selected by the colored
population regardless of the opin-
ions of the whites. It is hardly
fair for a man who lives where
white supremacy is not menaced,
and who has never lived or visited
the black sections to state dog-
matically what ought to be done by
the white population who have
lived undet the reign of carpet bag
legislatures. The administration
of government during the recon-
struction period just after the war
took on a sombre hue that the
people of the South still remember,
and they have reason to dread a
return to it. The question which
the white people of the South have
to meet is whether the white race,
w;th its more advanced civilization
and its higher ideals, shall submit
its progress to be turned backward
by the dominance of the black race.
This is the question which the
citizens of the North have never
had to contemplate.
