There are yearly, monthly and almost daily occurrences in the South that demonstrate that the the Southern people arc not only the friends of the negro, but a just one. His welfare is honestly con sidered and his betterment honest ly desired. The Southern white man is not jealous of the negro be cause he does not recognize him as a competitor in anv condition, therefore he is considered accord ing to his merits and the position he occupies. Tlir-fe no race preju dice. TJjc-re is no senseless senti menism connected with the no- to be shattered or produce a false sound, which is the caf where the negro character is not understood. He is considered hon estly and justly and according to his merits. Flirts are made to improve him mentally and morally, and he is given every opportunity to improve his financial condition. Southern friends only ask and demand one consideration that T tiun has set aside v000 for special j the negro keep his place no social prizes for Peri-herons at the orl Fs j equality hinted or implied. This Fair. The association lias suggest- j position is as noeessarv to the wel- ; fare of the negro and the race as j to the white people. Nothing short cd to Chief Co'ourn an arrangement of this sum for an ollVriiig of 3 prizes to provide a number of classes for the especial encourage ment of American breeders and of the display of stock bred by exhib itors. The National French l'r.ift Horse association lias offered loou in World's Fair special prizes for that breed. '1 he total amount in regular and s-rcch.l prizes for Per cheron and French Draft horses is $15,410. of that position will be tolerated and the violation would only lend to the undoing of the negro and his injury. The only chance for the negro is for him to exalt the white race. As it is raised the ne gro will be raised. The lowering the standard of the white race only sinks the negro and the friends that can help him.

Even thej sensible negro must know differ-) out. and on the other hand the noted negro educator saeritieed that regard and esteem of the white people so necessary in his work and whL-h can help him along or drag him down. It is too bad the negro enn't grasp the oppor tunity and the only way open to him. As an illustration of the just ice and honesty with which the ne gro is considered, the following forcible extract is taken from the Cuero Keeord. and is worthy of consideration : The ease of Sam Styles illustrates clearly that the negro's beet friends are the Southern white men. Doubtless there are manv Northern people who believe the negro is; much abused in the South. Wei judge this to be true by frequent newspaper reports from that sec- j tion.

It is recorded as something re markable thru a Japanese novelist lias comple'.cd a st'-ry which occu pies ninety volumes. Such a work would ccm rather lonjj if fine had to review it, hut there are possibil ities in the very !on novel. One very well known writer lias fre quently said that if he were entirely free he would select a group of characters and at the end of two years would have produced a tale dealing with all that happened to them in a single twelvemonth. In the next two years he would carry matters on far another twelve months, and so on to the end. It is not incredible that he might do this with complete success, for where a man has written seriously he very often leaves his characters at end of the bojk in such re lations that they can not go on liv ing in the world without helping to make another and an torv. interesting There is no great rush of work being done here but all the same the town is constantly improving; not a day passes but the sound of hammer and saw can be heard here. The iron for the Dunbar build ing arrived Saturday and the work will now be pushed to completion. but it has been demonstrated in the Styles ease that even a poor negro can awaken sympathy among men who can have no motive other than lip; that prompted by love of humanity,! even though it be a black man re-1 quiring it. Such spontaneous ex hibitions of warm-heartedness 1 should prove to the negro that his best friendi- are those who know him best. It should further teach him that if he behaves himself and tries to do right no people on earth will give him greater credit for it nor be quicker to help him in the time of adver.-ity than the South ern people; on the contrary no peo ple will be more prompt in punish ing a betrayal of a trust reposed upon him. These are lessonx worth taking to -heart by our col ored people and they should not be slow in realizing the importance of meeting these conditions face to face and governing themselves ac cordingly. If they will do this the race question now agitating many portions of the country will have been solved. Its settlement can not Le reached by anv other route and it does not require an astute mind to recognize this fact. Gonzales Enquirer. Uest Remedy for Croup. Mr. C. L.

Because only recently have the public at large realized the op portunities which this;; northwest section of Texas offers. The large ranches are being divided into SMALL STOCK FAKMS. Wheat, Corn, Cotton, Melons and all kinds of feed stuffs are be ing raised in abundance, surpassing the expectations of the most sanguine. A country abounding in such resources (tried and proven), together with the LOW PKICK or lands, cannot help enjoying a most rapid growth, and that isE 9i? wnat is happening in the Pan-Handle. 1 "The Denver Road" It has on sale daily a low rate home-seekers ticket, which allows q you stop-overs at nearly all points; thus giving you chance to in- vestigate the various sections of the Pan-Handle.
