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

"Like all B<?ers. h? is a

A.pparently, he left his ll ?cko ol

o assume command of his bur

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
