The portion of Texas traversed by the Brazos river in which there was such a protracted and disastrous freshet last June, has had another very heavy rainfall and tha* same river is again spread ouj over the lowlands and the crops greatly damaged. The suit of Rev. R. D. Perry against the G. C. tfc N. Railroad for damages sustained at Catawba Junction in 1898, tried at Yorkville last week, resulted in a verdict for .$3,000, which is considered as a victory for the railroad as it was generally thought during the trial that the verdict would be much more. Commandant Boiiia, the New Boer Leader. May Review of Reviews. Although ho was the youngest of the noted Boer leaders, I/miIs Botha, the victor of Spiou K ?? and Golenso, succeeded General Joubert in command of the re publican armies. His stocial countrymen are slow to set, up heroes, but his dramatic achieve ments com m i nrlpi! nnivHraul ml miration and made him distinct ively the popular leader of the war. He was the popular as well as the official choice for command ing general upon the d afh of Joubert, and was also mentioned as a possible candidate for the presidency of the Transvaal Ke public. 'Botha is only 36, little more than half the age of Joubert, and. like most of the Boer leaders, is not a professional soldier, but a raiser of sheep and cattle, or, as he says, "a plain farmer," in the Vryheid District of the 'Transvaal. He says he is not a military strategist, altnough he has shewn that he is a tractician of the first class. He comes of the best Boer stock, was born in (ireytown, Na tal ; as a young man had a share in the establishment of the Trans vaal Republic, and fought under Lucas Meyer in the Kaffir cam paign with a success which gave him high standing an an officer and pointed to an import ant command from him in the present war. He has not remain ed on his prospermia farms all the time between hia fighting expeditions, but made a civic repu tation an a prominent member of the Volksraad at 1'retoria. lie i? not only a very able man, a statesman as well as a soldier, but he haa more cultivation than many of his associates. His home la distinguished from the homes of most of the prominent Boers hy hia fi le librarv and his wife's grand piano. As is usual with the Boers of the better class, he has delightful home relations, and a real helpmeet in his wife, who is a superior woman. Personally, he is, like Joufert, a gentleman in every ten>t? of the word. One ht h?? n *k *e??n him in the present war d"-??*nbes him a* a man ol ttracti ve minn?r? and as vprv "Like all B<?ers. h? is a tem??or*t of democrats," says an th'-r observer. who saw him al th mmii time ; "i.nd when hf ? it rhe aforv o* the battle he whf I theil in a ?uit of clothing thai night have been dear at ten dol -irs wlien he bought it. H wore t"? coll r or aoarf; an old, stain d, br<?ad brimmed hat sur mounted his head, and the elbow? >f his coat were wotn th rough A.pparently, he left his ll ?cko ol ?heep, and without changing his lothing went to the battle field o assume command of his bur ^hers. He did not seem to bf proud of his victory, and spokr inly of the bravery of the British ?oldiers and the injustice of the war which made such slaughtei aeressarv. From one of the mer who went up the hill at Spioii Kop, I learned that Gen. Botha was one of the first to reach thf summit, and that he himself toot two rifles from the hands of Brit ish soldiers, one of whom hf knocked to the ground with thf outt end of his revolver." Al 'hough, like all Boer soldiers (Jen. Botha cares nothing foi uniform, he dresses very well or litisrily when h? is in Pretoria But the climb up Spion Kop aru he fight on top had spoiled hii clothes.
