INTERESTING LETER FROM
AUSTIN CORRESPONDENT
Furnishes Signal Readers With
the Latest Happenings at
The Capital
Austin l'Yl. 'Jli. I'M it or Sig-
iwi I : Tlx' legislative situation
iiboimds in kaleidoscopic changes
There lias perhaps never been it
legislature in Texas like the
present one. No man can fore-
cast with any degree of certain-
ty what it will do wilh reference
tp iidjoiirninent. The House has
passed !i resolution providing for
iidjoiiniincnt March 11. When
Ihis resolution reached the Senate
it was referred to the committee
on constitutional amcndim nts
where it now quietly reposes and
it will stay there until the prohi-
bitionists see proper to living it
out for nil of the members of this
committee are prohibitionists ex-
cept the chairman. I do not he-
lieve that the Senate will agree
to an adjournment on that (late
unless the rodislrietuig hills can
he put through. A number of the
Senators want to go to congress
and they are not going to take
any chances on running for con-
gress before the state at Imge.
The hopes of the advocate of
the various consolidation I. ills is
at II very low ehh it having he-
come generally understood that
dov. - Colquitt will veto them
should they he passed.
The Abilene Normal school hill
will prolial.l'i come up in the
Senate this week. I see in the
"Western Light that some one
here in Austin had written to
.fudge lliggins wishing to repre-
Mht Snyder in this matter. This
was perhaps some professional
lobbyist who wanted n money
consideration for his services.
Sucli iiicu ns a rule have no stand-
ing with the legislature and
would really prejudice the mem-
bers against any measure which
they might advocate.
The Fanners I'nioii measure
has fared especially well this ses-
sion. The Cotton Factory I '.ill
has been finally passed. The fol-
lowing circular gotten out by my-
self m advocacy of the measure
while it was pending will explain
(he measure :

llow could the manufacture of
bagging duck said: rope and
twine nireet these enterprises?
The factory is demanded by the
Fit nn erst' Fnion of Texas in order
that the farmers of Texas may
free themselves from the heavy
and unjust burdens that have
been laid upon them by the jute
trust. This remorseless trust has
an absolute monopoly in the man-
ufacture and sale of bugging
sucks ami twine nndMr. Howard
well knows that no individual will
hnard an investment of bis
money in n factory for the pur-
pose of engaging in competition
with this gigantic trust in the
manufacture of theso goods. The
State by the use of convict labor
can give us this relief. No? nri"
word is said by Mr. Howard about
the hundreds of convicts who arc
on the state farm raising cotton
coi n and cane in competition
with the farmers of this state.
No : this is nil right with him ; but
when we who pay seventy-live
per cent of. the taxes ask for a
little appropriation that will cu
able us to save the fanners of
Texas hundreds of thousands of
dollars every year he holds up
his hands in holy horror and ask;
the Covernor to veto the measure.
If his cause is n just one why
don't Mr. Howard come on doivu
here and let ns fitrht it o.i! like
men before the Legislature in-
stead ii" trying to use M;c pres-
tige ami influence of the Chamber
of Commerce injin attempt to in-
fluence the (iovernor to veto the
bill. Jute is a foreign product
while (otlon is raised by almost
every farmer in Texas. I '"cotton
weie substituted forjute.it would
open up a demand for a vi.sl
amount of low grade colton which
would be manufactured into these
goods instead of .being used as n
club to hammer down th price
of our better grades of cotton ns
at present.
In view ( f the piterest muni
feslcil by (iovernor Colquitt dur-
ing his campaign and in his mes-
sage to the Legislature in the
welfare of the fanner of Texas. I
have no fear of him vibih; the
bill when it is passed and s-tit to
him for his approval.

our cotton tare hill. The follow-
ing gotten out T..V IllVself while

JAIL BOND ELECTION
TO BE HELD APRIL 8TH
Date of Election Changed so
That it Will Not Conflict
With Other Elections
Owing; to the fact that there
are elections for school purposes
on the date set at first for t lt-
jail bond election the Commis-
sioners' Court has changed the
date to April 8th. The latter date
also gives the people more time
to consider the matter.
Firemen Attention.
There will be a meeting of the
Snvder Fire I lepnrt meiit Friday
n'ght for the purpose id' perma-
nent organization and the elec-
tion of officers for the coming
year ami for any and all such
other business th;-') may come up.
The City Council has given ns
lawful and legal .roeogtiit ion aid
we are therefore in n position to
transact legal business.
We are nlowed :! exemptions
liom street and jury service and
as we only have A members we
will have room for Hi new mem-
bers the membership fee will be
..I.OO monthly dues 2') cents. We
need only good sober and willing
men.

Telephone Expansion
(ieo. T. Curtis manager of the
Scurry County Telephone Com-
pany informs us that his com-
pany is kept bir-y filling orders
for both toe n and country tele-
phones. The ilemand for rural
phone lines is steadily growing
greater (iood roads and tele-
phones are the greatest factors in
development of the present ntre
and Scurry county is demanding
more of both.
