When you can get a far better range from us and make a big

are not as good as his.

fectly satisfactory.
The peddler delivers the range and you sign a note—and that
is the last you see of bint. When the note is due, another man
conies to collect it—he knows nothing about the deal, but that
you have signed tiie note and he wants the money—and ho gets
it, too.
Don’t Sign Away Your Rights
if you want the best range that is made—we've got it. We ll
sell it to you on more reasonable terms than you can get from
a peddler—and we will save you from $18.00 to 33.00 on tiie
price. Come and see for yourself.

Austin. Jan. 71 -The senate
fought all morning ever the techni-
cal question of whether it .rould re-

sideration of Governor Colquitt's ap-
oointments. Lieutenant Governor
Davidson held, since the rules Jiave
boon rescinded, th.it tiie senate had
no authority to go into executive

ments will continue all day.

Speaking with extreme calmness
and deliberateness County Attorney
Cal T. Freeman in one of ills. mo3t
remarkable addresses before a jury
in Grayson county, delivered the
closing argument in the case of the
state of Texas vs. Carl Oliver, charg-
ed with the killing of Roht. D. Stan-
ley in Franklin county, which case
Itas been on trial before Judge B.
L. Jones since last Monday, yester-
day afternoon and immediately
thereafter the courts charge was
read to the jury and at 4:35 o'clock
the jury retired for deliberation. At
l::;o this afternoon no verdict had
been rendered.
Tiie taking of the testimony in
the ease was concluded yesterday
morning and Attorney Wilkinson
opened the argument for tiie state
alter which the defense notified tiie
court that they were willing to sub-
mit the case without further argu-
ment. ' After Hie noon recess the
defense was still willing to submit
the ease without arguments and
tiie closing speech for the state was
begun by County Attorney Freeman.
He spoke for about two hours deal-
ing with the tacts as bad been re-
vealed by the testimony offered in
the case.
The court's charge was read to
1 he jury by Judge Jones and dealt
with murder from the first degree
to manslaughter.
During 'the arguments and the
reading of the chargeythe defen-
dant sat by the side of ills attorney,
his eyes glistening with anxiety anil
with a facial expression which re-
vealed his anxiety. He sat with his
hands folded and the head dropped,
■tow and then taking a glimpse at
those, who thonged the court room.
The court room remained crowded
all during the afternoon and until
a late hour last night. '
The case was transferred to the
Fifteenth district court from
Franklin county on a change of
venue and considerable interest has
marked tiie case in this county for
Hie fact that it follows two murder
trials in which colored defendants
were charged with tiie killing of
white men in this city.
At 2:30 o'clock this nfternoon
the jury bad 'reached no verdiit.
