a newspaper which has since its in-

called Tillman faction in South Car-

bf^en sworn enemies for some years,
and Tillman's animosity was accen-
tuated by Gonzales' pronounced ed-
itorial opposition to him as a can-
didate for the D«. .ocratic nomina-
tion for governor during last fall's
primaries. In that campaign Gon-
eales made editorial reference to
Tillman as a liar, scoundrel and de^

is reported that the immediate cause
of +1.ie attack was a message Wed-

. Austin, Tex., Jan. 18.—The sen-
ate and house of representatives,
after hearing Gov. Lanham's mes-
sage read Friday morning, met in
joint session to canvass the vote for
governor and lieutenant governor.
The official count was £s follows:
For governor—Lanham 260,076,
Burkitt 65,706, Mallett 12,387, Car-
roll 8708, scattering 32T3.
Lieutenant governor—Neal 285,-
651, Bonner 14,752, Everts 7643,
scattering 4041.
Gov. Savers' message is so length
ly that none of the members havt
yet read it through, consequently
there are no opinions expressed, ex-
cept as to certain portions of it.
These opinions are favorable.
Gov. Sayers leaves it to his succes-
sor to address the legislature on
the subject of platform demands.
It is understood that Gov. Lanham
will discuss each of these demands,
including the expression in favor of
anti-free pass legislation. In thid
connection it has been pointed out
that Article 4574 of the Revised
Statutes, on the subject of unjust
discrimination, limits by implica-
tion the state officials who may re-
ceive free transportation, and that
it provides that no person who re-
ceives free transportation shall re-
ceive mileage from the state when
be uses such free transportation.
Senator Wilson introduced a bill
appropriating $110,000 for pay of
mileage and per diem of the mem-
bers and ofRccrs of the Twenty-
eighth legislature; also a bill ap-
propriating $20,000 for contingent
expenses of the present session.
Both bills were reported favorably.
Senator Stafford secured the
adoption of house concurrent reso-
J^tion authorizing the governor to
make all arrangements for the un-
veiling of the statues of Houston
and Austin on the evening of the
19th instant.
Callahan County Happy.
Baird: "With rain on the night of
the J3th and 14th and all day of the
14th and again on the night of the
15th, Callahan county is coming to
the front as a wet oovnty, Calla-
han was not represented at the boll
weevil convention, and though some
boll weevil were reported in the
county last year, farmers are not
taking any precaution! against them
this year. The idea aeems to be to
plant enough to feed the weevil and
have plenty left.

Mazatlan* Mex.; The plague does

Sunday and eight fatal cases are re-

tients in the Lazaretos is steadily in-
creasing. Sanitary stations have
been established on the highroads
outside the city, with physicians in
charge. The plague has broken out

The Common Interest of the State
Demands Heroio Measures.
The legislature will be aeked dur-
ing its next session to make some
provision for a systematic war on
the Mexican boil weevil. The rav-
ages of this pest have become so
widespread and serious tkat the
matter has become one of vital in-
terest to everyone in Texas. Our
prosperity is threatened by it. That
we have not already more acutely
felt its effects is due to the fact that
we have diversified our agriculture
and made ourselves somewhat inde-
pendent of any one crop. *
It is hardly conceivable that the
legislature ceuld eitow any lack oi
Appreciation, and the Chronicle feels
sure that it will not; but it is pos-
biblo that in the delay over meth-
ods, much of the value of prompt-
ness will be lost. There will, per-
haps, be those who will cry paternal-
ism, and argue that it is undemo-
cratic to take money from the public
jfreasury to aid citizens in their pri-
vate enterprises. Thsre will, doubt-
leas, also be those who will declare,
I 7
iwith more or less vehemence, that
'it is against the constitution. Such
!must be swept aside with as liltk
ceremony as need be. The salva-
tion of the cotton crop, even by a
jetate appropriation, is not undemo-
cratic, nor is it a private matter;'it
(is decidedly one of the most pub-
lie matters that could be brought
jup for consideration. It is doubtful
if, in proper construction, the con-
jstitution does in fact forbid such
Appropriations for purposes in which
'the whole state is interested, but il
it dees, the constiution must b

that the 100th meridian will be lo-
cated in response to a resolution ot
Senator Culberson to determin*
what land in the vicinity of the rec-
ognized line of Greer county, Okla..
belongs to Texas. It will be remem-
bered that Greer county was once
a part of Texas. Its title was un-
queationed. One day a Texas con-
gressman wanted to do something,
so he offered a resolution confirming
the title of Texas to Greer county.
This caused Uncle Sam to prick up
his ears. "What," saye he, "has
Texas a county the title to which ia
in doubt? It must be a mighty
slim title or the conscience of a Tex-
as congressman would not be dis-
turbed wbout it. I'll have to look
into this."

nan about whom he had kml $o
siuch, he insisted upon ordering edi-
bles, the drinks and cigar a. At first
ibis youngster was decidedly mod-
tat, but as the spirits began te werk
rpon his syvtem, he talked too mach
lor one of his years and got to be
liagustingly familiar in a party com-
posed chiefly of his elders and su-
periors. He was a member of one
! the prominent families soetally
and had inherited a big fortune
Prom his father. If Colonel Ochil-
tree debated one thing more than
mother, it was familiarity on short
icquaintance; bttt on account of his
long friendship for the gentleman
vho had brought the young fellow
iato the circle he was unusually pa-
tieni and forbearing. Eventually,
aowever, the genial raeoatear
iquelehed Mm in good fashion. Tke
rash and impulsive youngster, feel-
ing hilarious, slapped Ochiltree on
the shoulder and exclaimed:
"Well, Tom, old boy, I'm certain-
ly glad to meet you! I have heard
a great deal of you in the past seven
fears, and I'd give $100,000 cash if
f had your cheek."
"If yon had my cheek aai bo

Salvation of the Southwest
There may be a new era dawning
for the lower southwest. It prom-
ises to come by the artesian pro-
cess. A fine flow of artesian water
has been atruck on the Armstrong
ranch in Hidalgo county. This sec-
tion of the country has long suffered
for lack of water; with this excep-
tion there ia no finer county in
Texas. Now that it haa been dis-
covered that artesian water can be
kad in sufficient quantities, a great
levelepment may be expected
throughout that region in a few
rears. And instead of wiling for
lid every few years, they may soot*
be feeding the worid with vegetables
tnd fruits. They hare the climate
ind the soil, and with water there it
to limit to the possibilities of that
tec t ion.—Lock hart Poat.
