deau Silt: - 1 take the liberty of expressing to you my opinion
of the International Corresdondence Schools, of Scranton, Pa. I
have been familiar with their work for the past 10years, and have
watched their-remarkable growth and development with much in-
terest. 1 know their methods, to he thoro and their instruction
vawfc to bb carried on in a mannor which compares favorably with
that of our prominent technical: schools. I believe these Schools
provide a system of education that cannot be had in any other way,
outside of our colleges, and, in my judgment, is even more practi-
cal than can be obtained in the average college of the country. It
gives me pleasure to add that the men who are at the head of this
institution are In every way entitled to the confidence of the: pub-
lic. Very respectfully, Wm. Conneix,

CAUSE OF THE
"WAMPUS"
OPPOSITION.
M
If negrophiiism was the
worst motive that impelbd
the opponents of white su-
premacy in this city, they
)ulcl be looked upon wi\h
some degree of allowance.
But it is not so much lote
for the negro, as love )f
power purchased by the pros-
titution of the ballot in the
hands of the negro.
They want the negro to
hold the balance of power so
that they may continue to
hold the lever of the machin-
ery of government. They
are not willing for the white
men to control this country,
because white men will haw
the best government, and
they are not in favor of good
government, good laws, nor
the enforcement of any la\vc
They base their ridiculous
and puerile contentions upon
the theory that the white
man's primary was a prohi-
bition scheme for the pur-
pose of putting prohibition-
ists in the city offices. This
in the face of the fact that
an anti was chairman of the
mass meeting that called th§
primary, an anti was ap-
pointed manager of the pn-
mary and also elected char-
man of the executive com-
mittee, which also contained
one anti among the 3 waid
committeemen, and last but
most important 2 antis were
nominated without opposi-
tion by the primary for 2 of
the 5'offices to be filled by
next Tuesday's election.
They admit that a majori-
ty of the white voters of the
city are in favor of local op-
tion, but at the same time
claim that the pros got up a
scheme by which they gave
the antis an equal break, to
say the least ot it, and more
antis might have been nomi-
nated had they submitted
their names to the primary.
No, it was not a prohibi-
tion scheme, and the facts in
the case brand the assertion
as a falsehood, and the au-
thors, promoters and ped-
dlers of this falsehood trul/
and well know of its falsity
This is used simply to whn
the white man's primary ar-
tis into line, and keep then
cringing and fawning at the
crack of the ringmasters
whip.
A number of good, hones,,
patriotic citizens of this town
are antis from principle aid
we respect their position,
but the opportunity is no v
' before them to show whet! -
or their professions are true
or false whether they ai(e
' willing to leave the })rohib-
tion question out of city pol-
itics, where it belongs, cr
whether they will servilely
respond to the appeal to
prejudice and yoke them-
selves up with the coons to
defeat the first effort to give
expression to our determina-
tion to insure white men a
white man's government of
the whitest stripe possible in
this country. It's up to you.

Fatal Accident*
E. W. Cnmpball, superintendent of
the T. & P. railroad on the Texarkana-
Fort Worth division, by way of Marshall
and Dallas, was the victim of a fatal
accident in the east Dallas yards of the
company last Tuesday afternoon at 2
o'clock.
A train had broken in two, and as
lone of the trainmen were at hand, Mr.
Campbell steppen between the two sec-
.ions to make the coupling, when the !
■ars were backed down and he was1
'aught and crushed. The unfortunate |
nan lived only a few moments. The
ireman of the yards also had an arm
adly crushed in trying to save Mr.
Campbell.
Superintendent Campbell was one of
he oldest men in the service of the T.
i P. and was highly respected. He was
i brakeman on the first T. & P. train
hat ever ran into Texarkana. L. S.
rhorne, the present general manager,
.vas the conductor.
The remains were buried at Dallas
yesterday morning at 10 o'clock and
was attended by many of the officials !
and employes of t he road with whom he i
was very popular.
A trainload of 8 coaches of people'
passed thru Mineola early yesterday
morning en route from Marshall to
Dallas to attend- tse funeral of Mr. I
Campbell. The management of the1
road ran the special excursion free for
the convenience of the many friends of
deceased.
Robbed the Grave.
A startling incident, is narrated by '
1 John Oliver of Philadelphia, as follows: j
j "I was in an awful condition. My skin j
was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue ,
I coated, pain continually in back and
j sides, no appetite, growing weaker day |
j by day. 3 physicians had given me up.
! Then I was auvised to use Electric Bit-1
| tors; to my great joy, the first bottle
made a decided improvement. I con-
tinued their use for weeks, and am i
now a well man. 1 know they robbed
the grave of another victim.'' No one ;
should fail to try them. Only 50c,
guaranteed, at all drug stores.

Notwithstanding the white
man's primary was ordered
by a mass meeting presided
over bv an anti and elected
an anti executive committee
chairman and an anti com-
mitteeman from 1 of the 3
wards of the city, and un-
opposed nominations for 2
of the 5 offices to, be filled
by next Tuesday's election
were given to antis, still the
"Wampus" (a word said to
have been coined by J. K.
Rucker several years ago
and applied this week by
Prof. Stafford to the oppo-
nents of the white man's
primary) fellows have the
supernal gall to declare the
said primary to have been a
inhibition scheme. If that
•e so, then the "Wampus"
convention was by many
times more an anti-prohibf.
tion scheme than it was a
democratic convention, for
its every officer, nominee
and speaker were antis.
They should at least have
been generous and given
some of the honors to pros,
if they had desired people
not to think their convention
was an anti-prohibition
scheme. Their situation is
a thousand times worse than
the pot calling the kettle
black.

few pieces of White Wash Silk.
