NOTICE Cellular 9-1-1 Calls ...When calling 9-1-1 on a cellular phone, be prepared to provide the following information: your name, cellular phone number, nature of the emer gency, and the location of the incident. Please note: Your call may be answered by a telephone company operator or a 9-1-1 dispatcher outside your area. Privacy Considerations… The 9-1-1 (nine-one-one) emergency telephone number has been developed to quickly summon emergency service in a crisis situation. Callers should realize that when reporting an emergency by dialing 9-1-1, their telephone number (including non-published numbers) and their address may be automatically displayed on a viewing screen located at the 9-1-1 answering centers and that this call may also be recorded. This display of the calling number and address enables the emergency agency to quickly locate the caller even if the call is disrupted by the crisis. Callers who do not wish to have their telephone number displayed on the viewing screen should report an emergency by dialing the seven-digit telephone number of the appropriate emergency agency.

About The Cover: Varner-Hogg Plantation’s History

state investigators found “particular cruelty” toward convicts at Patton Place.This unfavorable attention, combined with the rising cost of convict labor, ended the use of prisoners, and the plantation turned to a sharecropping system. Looking for sources of income that required less labor than sugar production led owners to try growing cotton on Patton Place with little success. In 1876, the Texas Land Company purchased the plantation and gradually switched the site’s focus to ranching.The majority of the laborers, now cowboys, were African Americans. The plantation sustained major damage in the 1900 hurricane. Many of the original buildings, including the sugar mill, were destroyed. In 1901, former Texas Gov. James Stephen Hogg purchased the land, convinced that substantial amounts of oil lay beneath the surface. Large quantities of oil were never found during his lifetime.When Gov.Hogg died in 1906, his will recommended his children not sell the mineral rights for at least 15 years.Within that time period, the Hogg heirs struck oil, making them all very wealthy. While none of the Hogg children made the Patton Place home, they each spent time at the site. Long weekends with visitors, dinner parties and outings to the country brought them to the house. In 1919, the Hoggs made several modifications to the house, producing its current appearance. In 1958, Ima, the governor’s only daughter and surviving child, donated the plantation to the state of Texas. Before turning over the property, Ima, a great collector and decorative arts lover, furnished the home to reflect her father’s love of history and her own admiration for GeorgeWashington and other early Americans.

Varner-Hogg Plantation’s history began in 1824 when Virginia native Martin Varner became one of 297 grantees who received a league of land from Stephen F. Austin and established his homestead in present-day Brazoria County. The Varners received 4,428 acres, and they brought at least two enslaved men to farm and raise livestock on a small scale and establish a rum distillery. In 1834, Martin Varner sold the property to Columbus R. Patton of Kentucky. That same year, the Patton family moved to Brazoria County from Kentucky with a large, enslaved labor force. Several of the Patton men became active in politics prior to the Texas Revolution and three of them — Columbus, St. Clair and William — served in the Texian army. Between 40 and 60 enslaved people lived and worked on the plantation, known then as Patton Place. With bricks they made by hand, the enslaved people constructed the plantation house, smokehouse, sugar mill and their own quarters.With their labor, Columbus Patton built a successful and larger than average sugarcane enterprise, complete with a two-story mill. His long, open relationship with his enslaved concubine, Rachel, became a point of contention within the Patton family and in the community. Patton successfully managed the plantation until November 1854 when his family had him declared insane. He was placed in an asylum in South Carolina, where he died of typhoid fever in 1856. Patton’s estate became mired in probate court when his family attempted to overturn his will.After a prolonged court battle,Rachel was given an annual stipend and allowed to live wherever she chose as promised her by Columbus. John Adriance, executor of Patton’s estate and a Brazoria County merchant and plantation owner, became the Patton Place manager. Adriance maintained his role through 1869, when the Patton family sold the estate. Between 1869 and 1901, the site changed ownership several times. At one point, owners used convicts through a leasing program as laborers. In 1875, however,

TELEPHONE SOLICITATION

Texas law provides certain protections for a person who receives a telephone solicitation at a residence. A telephone solicitor must: • identify himself or herself by name; • identify the business on whose behalf he or she is calling; • identify the purpose of the call; and • identify the telephone number at which the person, company, or organization making the call can be reached. A telephone solicitor may not call a residence before 9:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m. on a weekday or Saturday or before noon or after 9:00 p.m. on Sunday. If a telephone solicitor uses an automatic dialing/announcing device, the machine must disconnect from your line within 30 seconds after termination of the call. Exceptions The requirements above do not apply to telephone solicitations made at your request, or solicitations made in connection with an existing debt or contract, or calls from a telephone solicitor with whom you have a prior or existing business relationship.

If you use a credit card to purchase a good or a service from a tele phone solicitor other than a public charity (an organization exempt from federal income tax under the Internal Revenue Code, 501©(3)), the seller must: • offer a full refund for the return of undamaged and unused goods within seven days after you receive the goods or service (the seller must process the refund within 30 days after you return the merchandise or cancel your order for undelivered goods or service); or • provide you with a written contract fully describing the goods or service being offered, the total price charged, the name, address, and business phone of the seller, and any terms and conditions affecting the sale. Complaints The Attorney General of Texas investigates complaints relating to a violation of this law, which is found at the Business and Commerce Code Chapter 37. If you have a complaint about a telephone solicitor whom you believe has violated this law, contact: Consumer Protection Division, Office of the Attorney General of Texas, P.O. Box 12548, Austin, Texas 78711; hotline 1-800-621-0508 or 512-463-2070. Be advised that you may have additional rights under federal law. Please contact the Federal Trade Commission or the Federal Communications Commission for further information on these additional rights.

HURRICANE TRACKING CHART

Hurricane eye positions are given by latitude (for example, 13.6 degrees North) and longitude (for example, 102.3 degrees West), to the nearest one-tenth of one degree. When you receive an advisory, mark the eye position and the time on the tracking chart. Since this position does not indicate the true possible impact of the hurricane, center a dime on your mark and draw a circle around it. This shows you the area than can be affected by a hurricane that is approximately 150 miles in diameter. The circumference of a quarter can be used to indicate a storm approximately 200 miles in diameter. Because hurricanes change direction very quickly, you should concentrate more on where the storm could go than on where it has been.
