date for nomination to the olllce of land
commissioner. Mr. Llun's legislative ex-
perience and perfect familiarity with tl>o
land lawa and policies of the state for the
past twenty-Qve years oiuluently fit him
for the place.
Several large real estate deals have

eral local api culators being In the market
Every portion of the eily and suburbs Is

The following extracts from the pro-
ceedings of tbo Democrat lo executive
committee at Lampnsai are ln!ercsilng.
The following resolutions after gencr.il
dlscusaion by member*, lu which Messrs.
I'rcgsler of Comanche, Saycrs of Bastrop
and templeton of Clay mudn earnest op-
position, waa adopted by u vote of 14 yeas
and 11 naya.
Itcsolved, that In effecting the Icmpo-
raiy organization of the next Democratic
state convention to be held In this stat*,
each unorganized eouniy thereof be al-
lowed at least one vote, provided that
each of such counties hold within their
reapeetlvo limits a Democratic convention
iWi ' K H^S|r4tlaB>\'<'lli tb taSa Sww^
suelivaiectlon or appointment be duly cer-
tified to the proper authorities In accord-
ance With the usages of the party.
Upon motion of Mr. binith. of mil
counijr. It was unanimously resolved that
the committee fully ami heartily Indorses
and adopts as Its expression the letter of
Chairman Flniey addressed to lbs editor
of the Uirslcaua Observer, Feb. S. 1893:
Tvi-rn, Tkx-. Feb. B.—Editor Corsl-
csna Observer--Dear Sir: Your favor of
the 1st. asking me to slate tha qualifica-
tions that should prevail in the ndmlasion
of persons Into the primary councils or ac.
lions of the Democracy, has been received
and considered, and in reply 1 beg to say:
First—A man should be a Democrat
who psniclpstea l~ Democratic primaries.
Second—J1' should reside in the locality
where Uie primary Is held anil potsoss the
general qualifications of a vo**r.
Third—W here It Is thonxut necessary
to protect the party against lis enemies
gettlug into lis councils or participating In
Its primary action, the local executive
committee should provide the method, be-
ing careful not to exclude no Democrat
who openly espouses the principle of the
party and is willing to support its action
by voting for Its nominees.
Foruili—In case of convention It Is
uattal and proper to pledge tho delegates
to the support of the action of that body
and the action of tho party generally. In
the ease of primary elections the partv
voting should be able to satisfy the offi-
cers of election that l.e will be a qualified
volar in that locality at tho next election,
openly nnuomioe his belief In the princi-
ple* of the Democratic parly ami pledge
himself to support the party nominees.
The party haa not either lu lis national
or state organisations announced any
east-Iron or fixed rules to govern In admls-
sieu to primaries, but tmsts to the loyalty
and discretion of ll( members In local or-
ganisations to protoct Its primaries from
Intruders and at the same time to freely
and gladly admit into her rauks nud coins-
oils alt Democratic voters, however recent
their conversion. 1 trust and expect that
the Democracy of Navarro county will be
preserved In IN purity, energy and Influ-
ence, and that pcRce and harmony will
prevail la bar rank*.
The reaolutlons Indlo its that the com
mltte* apprehended an attempt to control
the party by classes not lu accord
thoroughly with the party, who, falling,
will go out of the convention and voto
against tha ticket
Qov. Eos* haa received tho following:

QnKiE?rvn.t.K, Miss., April 8.—Tho
Caston breakwater Is now filling the
Joguu Phalla country, east of Deer creek,
ind wlih the water from the Huntington
i> raising tho flood
swamps something
Iko three feet above (lie lugh water of
88J, Tha rld«'U usually d/ponded on
ur stock aro going under, causing unex-
iceted embarrassment to the planters.
I'lio people nnd the mules aro easily
«ken care of. As for cattle, hogs and
thickens, the problem becomes almost lu-
airmouuiable, and there will be n general
oss of this character of property. Tho
icoule have moved out of the bottoms to
he front*, uud lu m my case* *r.i putting
n fa'ltS doors to tlielr bouse*. Tbo gen-
tral character of the overflow Is as deep
is seven feet back In tlio swamp, with
nily a foot or two In tho places over-
lowed on tlis front with ridge* that have
to water. Ntlll the tremendous develop-
gent of this valley has broujlit lu tlioti-
■ands of people who look with terror
ipon the water surrounding them as far
is the eye can reach, and can not got
iver the curious sensation, although it is
inly a couplo or feet lu depth. Tho
ii rthern part of the city, comprised of
-esldeuces, has from ono Inch to two feet
if water In tho streets, while tho populn-
;ion is paddling nroaivl In every oonoulv*
ihle description of Improvised boats and
,n rafts. Many persons who never ex-
icrleuced an overflow are paulc-str|< ken.
I'h" business porffon of the town Is In-
act. There Is no water in the southern
portion. Still the aspect of the Black
Bayou and Bo^tto Phalla country Is more
lerlous, and when th -sa waters reach
iliu water from the Skipswlth break,
J' Issaquena county, they will en-
:iill a heavy loss In stock and
novsble*. No further loss of life has
been reported anywhere, nor Is any nppre-
ucmled, except what might occur from un
Kcaslonal accident Tho preseut overflow
is two woeks later than the overflow of
188'), and tho water Is about two feet
aigher than It was then. The water In
die northern part of the city Is at a stand,
liiowing that the crest ot the flood wave
has passed, and If there are no other
UiriVKKsiTT or VmoisiA, April S.—I
enclose un appeal from the Ladle*' Memo- j ureaks near here the whole of the city will
rial association of Charlottesville uud a! lot be submerged. This place nnd the
list of tho soldiers from your own state
who lie burled lu our cemetery, begging
that you will aid us lu tbo work so dear
to all our hearts by publishing In your
paper the list and as much of Uie appeal
as you have space for. Tho tiamu may
catch tho eyes of some who knew oud

Dear Sir. In tho cemetery at tho Unl-
:ountry laying next to tho river south of
here are tlie only ouos of refuge for Uio
Black Bayou stock oxcept lu eases where
the mules and stock had been housed in
die overflowed district, before the comple-
lion of the leveo system. An overflow
ivcry year or two was expected, but cou-
Qnlng the river has so raised the flood
icvol ns to put the most favorable locali-
ses under water, wlillo tho place# that
>f people lu our town can be seen poling
bout lu from two to four feet of water.
The Black Bayou nnd Bougue Phalla
jverflow has cut off rail communication on
verslty of Virginia are burled 10t)7 con- j
reiterate soldiers. Of these, 8i arc from | ihe Louisville. Now Orleans and lexas
Alabama, 18 from Florida, S24 from OiOr-1 railway, as well as on the Georgia Pacific,
gin, 84 from Louisiana. 4 from Maryland,
«0 from Mississippi, 800 from North Caro-
lina, 161 from South Carolina, 10 from
Tennessee, 18 from Tcx is l'- 3 from Vir-
ginia, 20 whose states are uncertain aud 17
not known.
These u on died for the south and for a j shove.
cauM that was sacivd to our people.
Their graves, although they have not
been altogether neglected, sre greatly in
need of attention, and a movement hat
recently been set on foot to put them In
decent order and If possible erect s simple
mouument lo their memory. Tho people
of our Vicinity are responding to Uie call
In this behalf *s generously as they are
able; but It Is necessary to invoke aid be-
yond the community, and Inasmuch as
nearly all the Confederate states are rep-
resented, It deemed not Inappropriate
to send this appeal into the state* froui
which thee dead heroi came.
The Unitnl States spent great sunp In
protecting un 1 beautifying tho graves of
the Federal dead. Ourdeait are as sacred
to us. nnd though wo cannot build inch
beautiful ceuietarlc* or iplendld monu-
ments, we can. without great pecuniary
sacrifice, at least keep their graves green
and rcsene tbelr names from oblivion.
Therefore this personal appeal Is made to
you to contribute to that end. Any
amount you may feel able to give will bo
gratefully received.
