May Habris had been spending
some time in Honey Grove, board-
ing at a hotel, she being an or-
phan and her father a traveling
man. Lee Weille, a traveling
man, stopped at Honey Grove,
got on a spree, was ejected from
his hotel and transferred himself
to the hotel at whioh Miss Harris
was boarding, met her in the
morning for the first time and in
the afternoon took the train for
Bonham where they were mar.
tied. Her friends advised her
against suoh rashness, hot she
only laqglMd. In less than a
week aflftr had taken her own
life. Such, in brief, is the tad
history of a Ver y
made of gravel or other equally
good material at a cost, say of,
$2080 per mile, and that this cost
be equally divided between the
sections joining the improved
highways,-the annual interest to
be paid by each section of land at
6 per cent, will be $124, or 19i
cents per acre per year, says the
Insurance [Journal. Col. Peter
Smith at the Dallas meeting esti-
mated the cost of macadamizing
the public roads at $1000 a mile-
This would reducethe annual inter-
est to less than 10 cents an acre on
the land adjacent to the improved
roads, a mere trifle compared with
the amount that would be saved
in the wear and tear of vehicles,
horse flesh, time and labor in cov-
ering the distance and in all the
conveniences which good roads af-
ford.

Never put a stone upon a road
for repairing purposes that will
not pass freely in every direction
through a two inch rine, and re-
member that the smaller stones
should be used for patching and
for all slight repairs, says the Road
Improvement association, but how
many of the road overseers under
the present Bystem pay any atten-
tion to the advice of practical, ex-
perienced thought in the matter
of improving public roads in
Texas? The little work that is
done on the roads is performed in
a perfunctory sort of way and
might almost as well be left un-
done. A new road iaw that will
insure better roads is an absolute
necessity.'
THfi OFFICIAL COUNT.
The official count of the voteB
cast for presidential-electors and
state officers has been completed,
but if there has been any official an
nouncement of it The Hesperian
has overlooked it. A statement
was sent out from Austin some
weeks ago that the vote for presi-
dential-electors had been counted^
except seven counties, and show,
ing a plurality of 163,000 for the
Cleveland and Thurman electors,
but we have seen no report of the
complete returns. In the vote
for state officers the Democratic
majority ranges from 134,224 to
187,895, Cooper leading and
Lubbock behind. McCall, Lub-
bock, Hogg. Hall and Cooper run
pretty close together, Cooper
■lightly in the lead and Hogg next.
McCall's vote is about an average
being 245,892 Geers, Republican,
83,865, King, Union Labor, 6152t
scattering 109. In the judicial
race Stayton leads his ticket for
the supreme oourt, and Hurt leads
fur the court of appeals. The
official vote for congressmen:
First district, Stewart 14,813, Mc-
Daniel 9817, Davis 4166; second
distriot, Martin 16,210, Hum-
phrey 6656; third distriot, Kil-
gore 20,579, Farmer 9697; fourth
district, Culberson, no opposition
4482; sixth district, Abbott 26,-
812, Evans 12,126; seventh dis-
trict, Crain 15,612, Brewster 12,-
063; eighth district, Moore 21,-
022, Cooke 8460, Sledge 849; ninth
district, Mills 20,701, Jones 15,-
316; tenth district, Sayers 24,094,
Belknap 12,266; eleventh district'
Lanham 26,361, Rumpf 3130,
Redfield 975.
It will be seen that the Fifih
congressional district gave the
largest Democratic majority and
is entitled to the honor ot being
known as the banner district of the
state. Judge Hare's majority
being 22,524.
OOOD REPUBLICANS.
A committee of Birmingham,
Ala., busiuess men called on Presi.
dent-elect Harrison Tuesday.
This committee is said, by one of
its members, to represent an in-
vested capital of $30,000,000.
Prior to the last election five out
of the nine were Democrats, but
all voted the Republican ticket on
the protection issue. They pre-
sented to the president-elect the
following memorial signed by cap-
italists representing $100,000,000
invested in the South:
To (ien. Benjamin Harrison—
We, the undersigned citizens of
Alabama, congratulate you and
the country on the sucdess of Re-
publican principles, which have
caused your election, because we
believe a protective tariff will pro-
mote and aid the development of
our natural resources and because
an issue free from sectional feeling
and prejudice is now presented
upon which the people of the
South can divide according to the
dictates of reason and conviction.
We know there are large numbers
in this section who think as we do
and are only restrained from pub-
lic expression and advocacy ot
their opinions by a feeling of un-
certainty as to what will be the
policy adopted in the treatment of
the Southern problem, and appre-
hension that any change in our
local goveanment will be detri-
mental to our best interests.
This fear, we believe, will be ma-
terially lessened by good appoint-
ments, and the best result of your
election will be assured by mak-
ing appointments 'Jropi that class
of Republicans who command the
confidence and the respect of the
communities in which they live.
Such appointments will develop
two strong parties and thus secure
to us good government."
What encouragement the com-
mittee met with may be judged
from the reply of Mr. Harrison to
the question of appointing good
men to office: "I shall try to ap-
point only good men to offices in the
South—good Republicans." This
does not look like the president-
elect intends to try to break the
solid South except with a Repub-
lican club.

Congressman Laird laproved.
Little Rock, Ark., Dec. 19. — A
private dispatch from Eureka
Springs, Ark., says: The con-
dition of Congressman James
Laird of Nebraska has improved.
He came here out of the recent
canvass broken down physically
and mentally, and his friends
were seriously alarmed, fearing a
total collapse. Within the past
week he has recuperated beyond
expectation, and should the im-
provement continue may be able
to resume his seat in the House
after the holidays.

The Kansas White Caps.
Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 19.—
McDonald, who was so un-
mercifully beaten last Monday
by the mob calling themselves
the Kansas division of "White
Cap9," died yesterday. A farmer
living near here says that he
saw the "White Caps" pass his
house oa two different nights. On
the second night he followed
them and they halted in the
woods and seemed to bold a
council. The chief addressed the
men by number instead of name.
Enough was overheard to con-
vince him they were organizing
in Phillips and Smith counties.
The Seiate Tariff Bill.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 19 —
This morning the Senate sub-com-
mittee in charge of the tariff bill
heard a delegation of manufactur-
ers upon the schedule of Teltings.
They had not completed their
work when the hour for the Sen-
ate to convene had arrived and
the committee will hear th«m
further this evening. After them
will come representatives of the
manufacturers of ruchings and
rufflings and rattans. .
