The convention of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy,
from all the Southern states, is
in session this week in New Or-
leans. The most important work
before the body will be to deter-
mine the exact location and style
of the monument to be erected to
the memory of Jefferson Davis in
Richmond, for which the money
"ha** been collected. There's a big

Eddie Green is a good railroad
man and a fine fellow personally,
but he's about the most sanguine
.sucker that ever invaded the field
of 'j Cexas politics. Before the
election he promised Marse Ted-
dy two or three congressmen,
anyway, and maybe more, but
he couldn't even pull Scott out
' of the wreck down on the Rio
Grande border where Mexicans
are thick and easily come at with
the dinaro. Eddie feels that he

It is safe to say that no further
effort will be made to build up a
white Republican party in the
South and leave the neero a po-
litical orphan. Roosevelt is chop-
ping off the -head of every Feder-
al officeholder found guiltj
that direction and he has a strong
personal motive behind his action
along this line, for he wants ev-
ery negro delegate from the
South that he can gather in at
the next national convention to
make his own renomination cer-
tain. Bingham, of Alabama,
collector of internal revenue in
that State, was summarily kicked
out of his job the other day for
the express reason that he helped
to freeze out the colored delegates
from the late Republican State
convention.
The poll tax amendment to the
constitution of Texas was adopted
by a large majority in the elec-
tion last week, and hereafter the
fellow who pays no tax to the
support of the government that
protects him will take a back
seat on election day and have no
voice in the selection of that gov-
ernment. And he can't kick,
because he voluntarily disfran-
chises hiipself by refusing to pay
his poll tax.
The Texas roads penetrating
tiie North and East have settled
upon a definite immigration sys-
tem and as a result there will be
a phenomenal incoming of high
class homeseekers to Texas
during the next few years. The
big railroad systems have a habit
of getting what they go after,
and they are after immigrants to
Texas now.
'' When-I-get-to-be-Governor''
Burkett, of Palestine, has pre-
served a gloomy and unbroken
silence since he got the Texas
election returns last week. Per-
haps he's figuring how much cash
he's out in his patriotic effort to
succeed Joe Sayers and redeem
Texas from the horrors of Dem
ocratic tyranny and misrule.
Up in Sherman recently a Tex-
as raised hog said for $500; in
Travis county a sweet potato
4 feet 6 inches long was dug up
the other day, and in Llano
county last week a German pre-
cinct went "dry" in a prohibition
election. Texas always beats
the record when she wants to.
Governor Lanham, poor man,
hasn't vet been inaugurated, but
already the place-hunters are
buzzing in swarms about his
ears and they can be relied on to
keep him busy and miserable till
the last office in his gift has been
disposed of.
Now that our biennial election
turmoil is over and the work well
done, let us all drop politics and
forget its resentment, and com-
mence where we left off in the
industrial development of Grand
Old Texas.

Women Need
a constant supply of blood-making ma-
terial or their systems will break down.
The complicated female organism is
go delicately adjusted as to be easily
thrown out of balance. As a result,
health aud strength are a fleeted by
divers diseases. Motherhood, family,
society all levy such drains upon her
strength that most women break under
the nervous teusion. The demands
upon her nervous strength are much
greater than similar demands of the
opposite sex. Hence she must be sup-
plied in greater measure with the ele-
ment—iron—that gives strength. The
reason women feel tired aud worn out
and suffer from headache, pains in the
back and limbs, etc., is because they
have used up their supply of iron.
Menstruation trouble is largely caused
by lack of iron.
Dr. Harter's
Iron Tonic
supplies this element. It enriches the
blood aud restores what strain has
used up.
Augusta, Ark., May 10, 1901.
"After having sold Dr. Harter's remedies

them. 1 might add that 1
hold in special favor Pr Har-
ter's Iron Tonic, and vould
recommend it as the very
Ay best preparation of iron I am ae-
Kf quainted with. To weak, worn-out
u women, and those troubled with nerv-
m ousness, poor digestion, and pale, thin
^ blood, I believe it to be a panacea.

That's what the Fruit and Truck
Farmers along that line are convinced
of. They say that the Red Lands and
deep Sandy Loam with clay subsoil
found in that section with a Spring
climate tempered by the Gulf breezes
gives them the finest Peaches, Grapes,
Plums and Garden truck, and they are
ready for market a month earlier than
any other section of the United States.
These lands can yet be purchased
cheap. Write for particulars and a
