A NEWBERIAN IN TEXAS. t
An Interesting Letter About the Big
State and its Big Future, with Some
Remarks Concerning its Present
Politics.
"Texas i a right big p kae-," is the
thought which forces itself upon a per- i
son's mind when, after having ad- I
vanced some three or four hundred I
miles into tbis wonderful State,-wou
derful in her extent, and wonderful in
her resources-he realizes that he is
not yet hal way across. And he is
right. Texas is a large State- With
her nearly three hundred counties,
several of them almost as large as "
South Carolina., she comprises an area
whose extentt can only be realized by 1
traversing it.
Certainly a glorious future awaits
Texas. With her diversified climate
and rich and varied soils, she bids fair
to become, in wealth and population, i
the first State of the Union.1
You can find here almost any soil;
from the very fertile "black waxy" to i
the gray sand and red clay lands; from <
the woodless plains and prairies, to the 1
timber regions. The clinmate too, is as
varied. In many parts the rains are
abundant and refreshing; in others
the hot breath of the drouth scorching
up the growing crops.
There are many things which strike
the newcomer as peculiar when pass
ing through the State, but your cor
respondent will ndte only a few which
he has observed in this section where
he is located, near the central portion,
(called, however, Western Texas,) the
home of the jack rabbit and the horned
frog.
It has now been three weeks since
the writer has seen a negro; they are
very scarce in this part of the State;
this is truly a "white man's country."
In some of the counties out here ne
groes are not allowed at all. In Co
manche, one adjoining this, there is a
sign posted, "Nigger, don't let the sun
set on you here!'" aud he doesn't. It is
related that in that country, some
years since, a negro maddened by lust
and passion, so far lost his sense as to
commit au outrage upon a white wo
man. A fter fhe people had effectually
disposed of him, they expelled the re
maining negroes from the country and
forbade their return. A splendid way
of preventing the recurrence of the
deed.
The ladi"s out here do their own
work, of course, since there is no help

quite a conservative one. As to
whether it will get through and be
come a law or not they one and all fail
to make any prediction. Represen1tative ft
Blease, of New berry County, is going
to lead the fight in the House. He was
a big fighter on the other side t wo years
ago. The dissension in the ranks of t
the Prohibitionists is looked upoin with I
hope by many, and the prediction is
made that Mr. Nettles, who with drew,
is going to lead the fight for a conserva
tive bill.
Another matter which may reach
the Legislature, which is closely allieds
to the county go.vernmenit bill, whbile itt
is not exactly new, is again beiwg
revived. It is the idea of the county 1
Judges. The idea seems to be that such
a scheme will do away with much ex- o
pese by keeping the jails cleared and j(
leaving only the heavy cases for the
Circuit Courts. It will hardly come '
before the Legislature in one general '
bill, but by county bills, as in the case
of Greenville, which county has soun
ded the key note.
Gen. Farley will rejuvenate his bill b:
about the insurance and naval rnilitia
featuresof the State militia service. It ti
is likelytogo through this year with h:
some slight changes. Gen. Farley has (
been during the past year making ex- f
periments with one company and will i
go before the Legislature with good re- d
suIts achieved. .a,
But the matter that concerns this C
Legislature more than all others just
now is the refunding of the State debt.
It is understood that the holders of the n
reconstruct ion bonds will make another
effort to have them paid by the State.
In this connection the matter of establ
ishing the new sinking fund out of the
phosphate royalty surplus will, of I l
course, come to the front.I
If the Legislatdre makes an appro
priation for Clemson College, as it has n<
to do in order for the work to go on, s
and the railroad suits now pending go jti
-againsth Stae ther-e is likely to bea n.:n
o hire. That reminds me of the ex- ou
>ressive, but rather inelegant remark I fol
ieard from an old Texas pioneer, that th
'Texas is a heaven for men and dogs, co
>ut h-li on women and oxen." ra
The people here don't use any locks. cu
k family may go to church several ch
iles distant, and they leave the "s
'ouse, smokehouse and everything un- de
ocked just as if they were at home- in
Luother advantage in not having ne- bl
roes. ev
The farmers here have no barns and se
-ribs, as in South Carolina, and but se
.ery few stables. They put the oats ell
ip in ricks near the lot; the corn is put
n pens, sheltered frequently by only a is
overing of dried sorghum cane. By hi
he way, that is the forage chiefly used
iere by the farmers. The fodder is h
very rarely stripped from the corn fri
;talk, but they plant a patch of sor- ca
hun cane, which, when it is almost ci
-ipe, is cut down and put up in shocks ac
:o cure. They say that it makes splen- Pl
lid feed for horses and cattle. Perhaps H
,t might be well for sonie of those farm- tb
rs of Newberry, who are accustomed at
:o buying Northern hay, to try it. tb
No cotton houses are used in this vi- ro
ainity. The cotton as it is picked is P1
poured into a wagon, and when a bale tb
is finished, it is carried directly to a t1
gin. They don't use baskets, either, cc
like they do in Newberry, but pick in tt
long sacks holding from fifty to seventy- tik
five pounds. Some of the best cotton pl
pickers, it is said, sometimes pick as si:
niuch as five or six hundred pounds fl
per day. e
This part of Texas is a good grain si
,ountry, and also produces very good B
otton. The land in this immediate
vicinity is very fertile, but the crops m
ire frequently injured by a lack of cl
ufficient rain. On account of the B
reat depth and porosity of the soil, ti
however, they can withstand a longer B
Irouth than in South Carolina. The cc
people go without a rain here for a six cr
>r eight weeks in midsummer, and
till don't call it a drouth. Some five to
>r six years ago this section was visited S1
with a drouth eighteen months long. p4
There are no running streams in this w
part of the State-in the summer time, d
except the rivers. However, the wells it
ire not very deep. I suppose the aver- tl
age depth is about thirty-five feet. ti
Texas is one of the States which has ni
the "separate coach system" in opera- rE
ion, and it seems to work admirably. B
[ believe it to be a good thing, not
withstanding.the fact that on my way j

erious deficit in the treasury. In other A
vords, if these cases are decided adver
ely to the State Clemson College can- Ti
iot get an appropriation this year.
Governor Tillman seems to be some-'
vhat in demand as a national campaign
peaker. It will be remembered that
efore lie went North he received an
irgent request from the North Caro
na State committee, backed by a re
uet from National Chairman Harrity, lei
()go to North Carolina and make some we
peeches. He says that while he was in bu
gew York ne met Mr. Harrity, Dickin
on and other leaders, and while with y
hem the State Chairman of Tennessee wi
vited him to go to that State and ca
elp them out, but it was impassible to pa
o so. Since then lie has received an
ther urgent invitation from North Pa
:arolina, hut owing to the pressure of fifl
itate business he finds here now he wc
ili be absolutely unable to go any- ,5
hbere.
But while the Governor is neededc
Isewhere to help keep down the Third'
'artvites, lie certainly is not needed Ipu
ere. The South Carolina handful of sta
reat unknowns have issued -their lit-.
le manifesto, crawled back in their idm
oles, and the moist soil will be lea
umed in upon them on election day. ses

The political situation in this State lI
very exciting, and feeling runs very e]
gh. . n
On the 13th of this month the writer
d the pleasure of listening to aspeech b
m Hon. Geo. Clark, one of the four I
ndidates for governor. It was prin- t]
pally an attack upon Gov. Hogg, his t]
ministration and -the Democratic rr
atform adopted at Houston. Of Gov. o
ogg, among other things, he said b
at "he was dishonest and incapable,
id his administiatiou inefficient"; t]
at he had attempted to*rob the rail-. .
ads, and that the result was, the peo- e
e were now under the domination of n
Le radicals. He said of the platform, t
at the income-tax plank was "rank t:
mmunism, gotten from Herr Most";
e State-banks plank a "thousand C
nes worse than the sub-treasury t
an"; and that the free coinage of E
lver plank was "miserable slush 1i
led with mutiny against the Demo
atic party for whose plank on the g
lver question it was substituted." v
is speech was very bitter throughout. a
The political situation is somewhat i
ixed here. Hogg and Clark both n
aim to be the Democratic nominee; p
ogg, because he was nominated by
e regular Democratic convention at
ouston; Clark, because his platform t
rresponds with the national Demo
atic platform.
Before the convention met at Hous- .
n, Hogg and Clark canvassed the
ate, discussing the issues 'before the t

ople. When the convention met it 1
as found that a large majority of the i
-legates were in favor of the renom

DoLUMBIA, Oct. 26.-This morning a
Lder in the prohibition movement n
is walking down Main street with a
dle of manuscripts sufficiently d
luminous to have indicated that it e

ing session of the Legislature. 1
['he bill is not ready to be given the o1
blic. From all that I can under- ti
nd it is a kind of patchwork-of the b
as of a number of the prohibition ti
ders. It has been submitted to
