COMUS CARD CLUB
The member of the Comus
Club and a number of invited
guests were most delightfully
entertained by Mrs, B. F. John-
son last Monday afternoon at
whose hospital home it is always
a pleasure for the ladies to as-
semble. Promptly at four
o'clock the games began. Amid
playing and pleasant conversa-
tion the guests spent two happy
hours, the end of tha twelfth
game being reached all too soon.
The fortunate players were
Miss Lassie Schaefer, who won
the first prize, a beautiful oval
sandwich plate. The guest prize,
a pretty white linen handbag,
was won by Miss Lillie Sengel-
mann- The consolation, a pretty
white embroideried {linen collar;
fell to Mrs. R. C. Boettcher.
Several instrumental selec-
tions were rendered during the
afternoon.
After distributing the prizes
the hostess f conducted her
suests on the side porch where
a long table with refreshments
were in readiness for the jovial
crowd who did full juftice to the
refreshments consisting jellied
tongue, sandwiches, pickles,,
olives, ice tea, and a variety of
cakes. Mrs. Johnson was assist-
ed in entertaining her guests by
her sister, Mrs Owen Gaffney of
San Antonio.
Those who enjoyed this charm-
ing hospitality were: Mesdames

The Texas Negro
The Texas negro is primarily a
farmer and the race has made little
progress in commerce mechanics,
science and art. Freedom has carried
with it responsibilities which, have
weighed heavily upon thp coin-"-"1 race
and after a lapse of half a century of
freedom they are still the "drawers of
water and the hewers of ston^ " The
Voung are dependent upon white
man for their education and the agert
and i'-f'-m are his wards.
The Slav® Negro.
In 1F60 there were 158.595 slaves in
Texas, rendered for assessment at
S106.6S8.920. giving an average value
per slave all ages of $672.71. The as-
sessed value of all land in Texas at
that time was $122,294,764. The slaves
\Vere almost equal in value to all farm
property, constituting 36 per cent of
the taxable wealth of the state. The
state and county revenues derived from
taxing slaves annually was approxi-
fv $1,000,000.
Taking into consideration the per
cent of true value of property rendered
for assessment in 1860. and the fate of
Interest prevailing at that time, we find
the negroes of all ages producing a net
revenue of $100 each per annum. Since
the war the colored race in Texas has
been able to accumulate approximately-
$75,000,000, which is equivalent to $2
ea-ch per annum while masters of their
own destinies against a net production
of 5100 per annum when under the di-
rect supervision of the white man.
The Free Negro.
In 1900 the census shows 620.772 ne-
groes In Texas. They owned 65,K36
farms, valued at $56,239,210. Their
farms averaged fifty-nine acres each,
although fifty-five negroes owned 1.000
Uteres and over. Over 86 per cent of
our negro farmers raise cotton and 18.6
per cent of all the farmers in Texas are
negroes.
There are 184,473 negro children of
scholastic age in Texas who receive
frem our state school fund $6 per an-
num per scholar. We have 2,471 osrro
eehoolhouses and the education of the
negro costs $1,000,000 per annum. The
average salary of the teacher in colored
schools is $45.88. The school tax palfl
on property owned by the negro is ap-
proximately $60,000 per annum, leaving
a net amount of $940,000 per annum
trlven to the negro annually for educa-
tional purposes.
The educational and Industrial ad-
vantages of the negro in Texas excel
those of any other state.
TRADE MORAL—If we were all
mind-readers we would have
no trouble in learning what
merchant's goods are best.
About one in every 1,000 of
us is addicted to mental tele-
pathy. To reach the other
999 of us, Mr. Merchant must
advertise. Persistent adver-
tising in this paper will make
those 999 buy. The telepath-
ist will buy anyhow.

between business and success
is advertising. Inquire about
