Over 800,000 good people have
found it more to their liking to reside
in Texas than in the states in which
they were born, Tennesseeans parti-
cularly, and Alabamians in almots as
great number have swarmed to the
Texas prairies.
It is to be noted that the state of
Kansas has contributed in excess of
12,000, while below that number the
immigrants from other states are not
here reported, though every state -is
well represented. Kansas gave Tex-
as 12,960 and took 7,241. Oklahoma
has been in position of giving little
and taking much. There has beon
little to give and Texans played a big
part in the settlement of that neigh-
bor state. 205,562 Texans have be-
come pioneers in the new state, while
only 29,490 Oklahoma born have drift-
ed southward.
Arkansas is another state which is
beloved by Texans, the records show-

OPPOSED TO BOND AMENDMENT.
(J. P. Delleney.)
In opposition to amendment of the
constitution under Senate Resolution
No. 18, to Sections 49 and 52, Arti-
cle 3, to be voted and sure to be de-
feated on July 19th:
There are various and sundry ques-
tions that come before the people of
this grand and good State of Texas,
to be acted on. This is one of the
most VICIOUS and far-reaching for
numbers of years. The thought of
such is more than we could have be-
lieved our legislative body would ask
the PEOPLE for.
We noticed some days ago that the
cattlemen of Ft. Worth were claim-
ing they were all for it. We do not
find it the case here, in fact, we do
not believe there will be over twenty-
five votes cast for this amendment in
Coleman county.
Suppose we would give to each of
our county commissioners and coun-
cilmen of each town and city of this
State the power to issue bonds at any
time THEY THOUGHT such was
needed, where would we be placed?
We would have to abandon our prop-
erty, as we could not afford to pay the
TAXES that would be assessed on us.
After leaving Austin, there is but
a very few votes that will be cast for
this amendment. This particular point,
we all see, would reap big results,
by locating the several State institu-
tions in and near this point. There
is quite a sum of money being made
up, (I understand they are to get up
$50,000 at Austin to boost it.) Op-
posed to it we have not heard of one
dollar being made up to fight the
proposition. As to the literature be-
ing mailed out “Vote for the amend-
ment,” fully 90 per cent of it is never
opened.
At Gouldbusk on the 4th, there were
some 2,500 or 3,000 people, and 1 feel
sure there were not three men out of
this bunch that were for the amend-
ment
Those who have not given the mat-
ter any thought (especially if you are
thinking of voting for it) get the facts
and see what you are helping to do,
and let each and every voter of tho
county go out on the 19th of July and
use his vote to assist in preventing
a far-reaching disaster, which this
amendment (if carried) would bring
on us. J. P. DELLENEY.
Ballinger Boy’s Invention.
Banner-Ledger: W. H. Roark, a
young Ballinger boy, has patented a
music leaf turner and has received
the blue prints of the new design
from the patent office at Washington.
Practically all of the holder and tur-
ner is constructed of wood and bronze.
Comments have been received by the
young inventor to the effect that the
turner will be sold and is much in
demand by the best of musicians. The
music leaf turner is constructed for
the piano or organ. Tho base is sim-
ilar to many holders in that it is con-
structed of heavy wood. The upper
part of the turner is made of light
bronze wire. At the base are several
buttons which may be pushed and the
leaf of music turned when the proper
time comes in the playing. Several
flattering offers have been received
by Mr. Roark for the new patent, but
he has not, as yet, closed a contract
for its disposal. It is probable that
he will hold on to the new device and
sell it himself. He has placed an or-
der with the manufacturers for the
making of quite a number of them.
Two-thirds of pur farmers are ten-
ants and fifty-one per cent of them
move every year.

FEDERAL GAME LAW RE-
STRICTS TEXAS SPORTSMEN
(Austin Statesman.)
It may be of interest to the general
public, certainly to men who love
field sports, to know that the last ses- ‘wjH be
sion of Congress enacted a Federal
game law. The law divides the vari-
ous states of the union into zones.
Texas is included in Zone No. 2. This s{ateg
is the zone in which migratory birds j ‘
passing any laws relating to the pro-
tection of birds.
This act will, unquestionably, as it
is intended to do, help the farmer, but

pass all, or a portion, of the winter.
This law will supercede in effect the
state game laws. That is to say,
wherever there is a conflict between
the laws of a state and this federal
act the latter will control. Under the
new federal law the open season for
ducks and geese is limited to a period
from Oct. 1 to Jan. 16. This will give
£'C3:,c and ducks half of January, Feb-
ruary and March protection, where
heretofore there has been nt> closing
season as to these birds. Rails here-
tofore unprotected are under this act
subject to the hunters’ marksmanship
between Sept. 1 and Dec. 1. Wood-
cocks are protected all. of the year
except during the month of Decem-
ber. As this bird visits portions of
Texas not earlier than January, he is
practically immune from the Texas
gunman. The season is closed as to
snipe and plover except between Sept.
1 and Dec. 15. Plover annually pass
through Texas before Sept 1 and do
not make their return visit until inr
March. Hence, that bird is perpetu-
ally protected so far as Texas is con-
cerned, under this law. Certain snipe
pass
do not return until February. Hence
there will be only a little October
shooting of snipe. Until Sept. 1,J

lutely protected: Bandtailed pigeons,
