“Athens merchants tell us that

Which hione than makes up for the

“Where the fruit Belt Begins,”
CAPITOL AT AUSTIN
uma:T" m i *n **** Of the years and
**** «>• history of Toxaa, following the
ecology of |§t ■ events contacted
with the establishing of th# per
Wtnent seat of government of
T««a, the student of Texas history
firat capitol, Coahuila and
Texas, Was at Salt ill,, in UM, from
here moved to Conclova. With the
lmflRf.ff tile ''Tffi1 TOfijp flji
capitol was established at Col urn
»u* in the year 1886, but only for
a year did the Capitol remain, lie
irig tnovsd to Houston in 1887.
Ftoiri Houston the capitol was
transferred in 1839 to Austin, but
the succession of event* in the
making of this first Texas history
came to pass in such rapid man-
ner, that a transitory seat -of gov-
ernment was but a part of the
scheme. « H {I ' ’ j ^
from Austin the capitol Waa
moved in 1842 temporarily to
Washington, returning again to
Houston in the cycle of evejSkt,
and finally buck to Austin in 1848
where the seat of State govern-
ment has tine* remained.
The first capitol building ever
erected however in the State, was
In Austin, being a on# story frame
building with two large rooms,
separated by a wide corridor, open
gallery in front and shed rooms in
the rear for office*. Of the two
rooms, the north was the Senate
chamber and the south the chamber
of Representatives. The capitol
building which stood at the end of
Congress Avenue and was destroyed
by fire in November , 1881, waa
erected at a cost, including furni-
ture, of 81-60,000.
Th# present State capitol build-
ing, had the cornerstone laid March
2, 1886, and was dedicated May 6,
1888, and cost the State ,1,000,000
acres of land.
The State Capitol as seen at
night with the sepeiftacutar ttlumi-
nation of the whole, offers the op-
portunity for comparison of things
past and present—The light of the
great dome of the towering and
expansive structure of native red
granite, shines afar, from the hills
that form the crown for the capital
city, the lighted dome can be seen
In all directions.
Passing back over the trail of
the years, it is of interest to turn
the pages of the story of Texas,
and pause here and there to persue
chapter in the story.
Back through the pages, con-
ning them over—the days and the
years that have filled in the space
there calne the period of the Dtli
Legislature and the administration
Governor F, B. Lubbock, 1861.
He made his appearance in the Sen-
ate Chamber, clothed ip homespun,
following his election to the office of
Governor of Texas by a vote of 21,-
864 votes, the total ballot cast in the
election being 57,428 vote*.
The story of the journey of Gov-
ernor Lubbock and wife to Austin
from their country ranch home of
1,300 acres at Sims Bayou, Harris
county, to assume the duties of
the office, and their residence in
the mansion, carries the detail of
the trip, by rail for fifty miles to
Hempstead, the terminus at this
time of the Central railroad and
thence via dirt road to Bastrop,
up the west side of the Colorado
to WebbervIHI, and thence on Ihe
east side through the prairies to
Austin.
It has bean recounted in the
pages of history, that these two,
the governor and- his wife, the for-
mer a South Carolinan, the latter
of Louisiana, brought along with
them four servants, two hoys and
two girls, a saddle home, two a
pair of spotted Morgan horses, and
a handsome pair of sorrels, to set
Up residence in the governor’s house
on the hill.
In thfe course of the first mes-
sage of this Texas governor of
»ixty years ago, to the 9th Legisla-
ture, he said, our Indian troubles
should occupy your attention.
The greatest danger at that
time according to Governor Lub-
bock was the Indian. In this year
of progress, achievement and de-
velopment of 1926. there is no
Indian trouble to confront u*. We
have all the signs of civilisation
every where around about us.
tn the glow ,of our splendid
house of State Government, we
are proud to stand and make re-
sume of these day* when Texas
was making her history by candle-
light* only a few years within the
threshold of har independence Tex-
as la still making history—the his-

the eye is turned upon the great
glow of the towering dome that
surmounts the Capfipl of TtkM.
Texas builded well in these
year* of her past history, and she
continues to build. Between 1861
and 1926 there have been two me-
morable wars, add Texas partici-
pated In both. Today there is no
impending Indian trouble as of
1861, there ip no devastating trag-
edy as that of the great World
War of 1917.
Looking back through the years
to Saltillo, to Columbus, to Wash-
ington and Houston, Viewing the
event* a* they were a part of the
feholc, it is good indeed to catch
the warm, far reaching glow of
the light that shines out upon
Texans, from the topmost part of
the great stone structure—the
Capitol of Texas.
It was on the ranch of Gover-
nor Lubbock that the cargo of
camel* brought into Texas under
the auspices of Hon. Jefferson Da-
vis, then secretary of War under
President Pierce, were kept for
a time.—Texas Highway Bulletin.
ATTEMPTED SLAYER
OF MUSSOLINI IS
KILLED BY CROWD
Bologmi, Italy, Oct. 81.—Premier
Mussolini was shot at while leaving
the stadium here Sunday, but was
not injured.
Mussolini's assailant, apparently
about 18 years old, was Mixed by
the crowd and killed. He wes not

The Premier was on his way to
the railroad station when a revolver

ant cut the sash of the grand or
don of the -Order of &t. Maurice and
St. Lazarus. ripped a piece of cloth
from the breast of the Dues'* coot,
then went through the sleeve of the
coat of the Mayor of Bologna.
The attempt against the Premier
occurred about 5:40 p. nt., while
Mussolini was leaving the stadium
where he had opened the congress
for the advancement of science".
The Premier proceeded to the

had fallen to the ground. Mussolini
escaped unharmed.
Hi* assailant at that time was
seized by a threatening crowd, but
was protected from mob vengeance
by the police. Four passers-by were
wounded by the bomb.
On April 7 previously, just be-
fore Mussolini’s departure for Tri-
poli,’ Miss Vlotet Gtbaon, an English
woman, fired a shot which caused a
slight injury to the tip of his nose.
The attack was made when the Pre-
mier was leaving a session of the
congress of surgeons in Rome. Miss
Gibson has -since been declared in-
sane by medical experts testifying at
her trial.
An attempt 1n November, 1926,
was frustrated when the police dis-
covered a plot to assassinate the
Premier by the former Socialist
Deputy, Zhntboni, On Italy's Armis-
tice Day, «# Mussoloni was on his
way to make a speech from his resi-
dence, Zanihoni was found conceal-

powered rifle fitted with telescopic
sights and set up in direct line with
the balcony where the dictator was
to stand.
Of the two other attempts on the
life of Mussolini no details were,
made publie. One of these attack*
was said to have been carried out,
but without effect, by a royal guard
at Chigi Palace, in 192:1, and the
other in 1924, when he was reported
to have been shot at while traveling
by motor car from an outlying eity
to Rome. The Italian people
