A writer in the last outlook,
Mr. Cowles, who has been at
some pains to obtain figures for
comparison as to express and
mail rates, concludes from his
investigations that the express

They are selling off the streets
of Palestine at sheriff's salen. The
Press of that city says: "The
sheriff sold a tract of land in
front of the courthouse yester-
day." Neighbor, was the land
in front of the courthouse when j \A "lheir gro8H recejpt9 for trans

sheriff in front of the courthouse j revonues is therefore laid
when he sold the land i ! the dour of the railroads which

had taken the side of Spain in a ; flcrvlfco- '''
street discussion, was carved by j »>e figures re^rred^the^n.UHi
an American named Hunter,

Hunter was lodged in the cala-
boose, and the incident is re-
garded closed.
, The Palestine Press calls at-
tention to the fact that at a meet-
ing of their primaries last Mon-
day Parker county, Fannin
county, Van Zant county and
■ Bell county all refused to adopt
the Standifer test for holding
their primaries, and adopted the
Blake and similar liberal tests.
In Bell county, where Mr. Crane
> spoke Saturday, the vote against
the State test was twenty-six
against eight. In the other
counties the vote against the
State test was unanimous.

The Crane management is in
dustriously distributing Crane
literature in this section, gotten
up at considerable expense t<
somebody. It will doubtless se-
cure attentive perusal and com-
ment, but will hardly avail of any
great advantage to Mr. Crane.
Down this way the majority of
the people have no particular ob
j action to any of the candidates
for Governor, but they have an
especial admiration for the true
and tried "Honest Joe Sayers."-

doubtedly the right man in the
right place, and must be the
main reliance of the government
for information, as well as the
' conduct of affairs at Havana,
looking to a thorough investiga-
tion of the facts. He has had
the benefit of responsible and
dangerous war service for years,
Is a trained soldier, and besides
that has had valuable civil expo
rienco as governor of Virginia
for four years. In the way of
foreign *pal ntments.the wisest
thing, as events have proved,
that President McKinley has done
has been to retain the services of
General Lee.
Tub Palestine Press contains
the following truthful and point-
ed comparison: "A striking
contrast in men's devotion to
duty is offered by Mr. Crane,
Who, though drawing a salary
state as attorney gener-
ag almost his entire
rcimpaiaifig for personal
un, while Mr. Sayers
though a candidate for the high
office of governor of Texa's, is re-
maining at his post of duty in
congress, working for the salary
he is drawing from the voters.
As governor the same devotion
to official duty and sacrifice of
personal interests may be ex-
pected on the part of Mr.
Sayers."
There are several obstacles to
the administration of our criminal
, says the Texas Stock and
Journal, but one of the
most fatal is the aversion to jury
found among our most
it citizens. In every
way possible they evade it. There
ore conditions existing now in
Texas that threaten most serious
and lasting evils in many com-
communities. Organized crime

States paid $29,000,000 for trans-
mitting 365,000,000 pounds of
second class matter in the last
year, and received fiorn the busi-
ness $.3,000,000, having a deficit
from second class matter of SiiO,-
000,000. At the present lime the
same rate—8 cents a pound—is
paid to the railway companies as
they received when the first
contract was made, twenty-five
years ago.
It is concluded that four-
tenths of a cents is a just rato for
the railway transportation and if
this were, secured the deficit of
$26,000,000 on second class mail
matter would be turned into a
surplus of $20,000,000.
Mr. Cowles insists that so long
as the present rate of 8 cents a
pound i« paid for transportation
of second class mail matter such
bills as that now under considera
tion can afford no relief from the
annual deficit in the postal rev
enues now so seriously complain
ed of. On the other hand if new
contracts wore made with the
railroad companies upon a fair
and propor basis the government
could still retain the 1 cent rate
and pay expenses.
Ah Advertising Story.
The following story of
Falaisa is related by the Boston
Herald:
"It was dark in the streets of
Palaise.
The mayor ordered that every
citizen should hang a lantern on
the front of his door.
But still the streets were no
lighter
Then the mayor swore an oath
and issued a proclamation that
the citizens should put candles in
the lanterns.
And still the streets were no
lighter.
Then the mayor swore a great
oath and issued a proclamation
that the citizens should light the
candles.
Then the streets were lighter.
A man once wished to make
money.
He secured a good store.
He secured good clerks.
He secured good goods.
He made no money.
Then he turned on his store the
light of newspaper advertise-
ment and let the people know ho
was in business and why. He
kept them in the dark no longer.
Then he made money.
Thk New Orleans Times-Dem-
ocrat says that just inside of one
of the leading drug stores of the
city there is a blackboard which
is used very effectively for ad-
vertising purposes, the "ads"
thereupon being gotten up in a
very catchy manner. For in-
stance, the other day the follow-
ing was written on it to catch the
eye of the young lady customers:
"Have you a sweet heart? If
so, buy a bottle of pure Florida
water." A young man who
dropped in to get a glass of soda
water saw it. Next day he was
passing with his girl, and as they
were going in to get some soda
water, he told hor to read the
sign. He spoke before he looked
for to his dismay, the inscription
on the blackboard was: "Have
you a baby? If so, use steril-
ized milk."

POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY.
As a rule, the higher the office,
tho smaller the man looks.
Some men run for office as if
all their creditors were at their
heels.
Even a man with tho rheuma-
tism will run if ho sees an office
in sight.
When a candidate can't run
very fast he can always get
voter to pull his leg.
Tho office never goes far to seek
the man, as he generally rents a
room next door to it.
livery candidate promises to
"save the State," but not one
believes in freo salvation.
Few politicians want the earth.
Many have been known to be
satisfied with a fourth of it.
The American patriot of the
present day comes high. He de-
mands $5 per day and rations.
They say politics makes
strange bedfollows. But some
politicians don't have time to go
to bed.
God made the country and
man made the offices. That's
why the Lord has very little to
do with the latter.
A man may have a platform to
stand on, but frequently it isn't
strong enough to hold his
friends.—Atlanta Constitution.
Major Botts' Roses Again.
Tho flower garden of Major T.
B. Botts is famous for its fine
roses, It is shown to visitors as
one of the sights of the city, and
its profusion of flowers and
wealth of Color are the admira-
tion of all. Nearly all of the
Major's fine roses were bought
from tho RosedaleNurseries; the
moral is, if you want roses, fine
roses, in short, Botts' roses, get
them at Rosedale. We have
