Seville vs. Locke.
The county court was occupied
Thetday with the trial of the case of
, Jerome Beville vs. J. W. Locke, which
a suit brought to recover com-
missions on the sale of land. The
plaintiff is engaged in the real estate
business at Petty and the defendant
Hsjted his farm with him for sale. The
plaintiff found a purchaser who was
wining to pay the price asked by the
o4ner of the land, but when it came
to .closing the deal the defendant de-
cided not to sell. The plaintiff insti-
tuted suit in the justice court at Tiger-
town to recover his commission the
same as if the deal had gone through,
as lie had performed his part of the
contract. The case was decided in
the justice court in favor of the de-
fendant. The plafatiff then appealed
to the county court. The trial was
before a jury and Mr. Beville was
givW*s verdict for $187 60, the full
sum sued for.—Paris News.
Elections in Texas.
The July Democratic primaries
prove Texts people want a period of
political peace. They are tired of re-
strictive legislation. They want the
politicians to give the railroads and
other constructive forces a chance,
unhampered, to go ahead vigorously
with their work of development. Ow-
ing to a weakness of the Terrell elec-
tion law, Colquitt, an anti-snbmission-
ist, was nominated, by a minority
vote, on a submission platform—a
contradiction that may involve the
state in further prolonged political
agitation. Texas’ primary election
law should be changed to require a
majority nominee for each office,
even if it be necessary to hold a sec-
ond primary for the two top men in
each race. The majority vote for
submission of a prohibition amend-
ment proves the Democrats of Texas
mean to insist on their right to amend
their constitution, whenever it so
pleases them.—Farm and Ranch.
A Good Suggestion—Ask Them.
J. J. Wilkes, Belleville, Kan —To
answer Senator Owen’s query, the
people must take a hand. I would
suggest that a list of questions be sub-
mitted to every candidate who offers
himself for election to congress, and
request him to answer yes or no to
the following questions: Will you, if
elected, support and vote for the in-
itiative and referendum and recall?
The election of senators by popular
vote? For free sugar? For free iron
and steel and the manufactures there-
of? For free wool and cotton and the
manufactures thereof? For free lum-
ber and wood pulp? And will you
vote to put upon the free list every
article that is sold abroad afc a less
price than it is sold at home? / This
list could be lengthened, but it will do
for a start. By this method the vot-
ers can select by elimination. For a
candidate who will not pledge himself
throws a doubt at once on his useful-
ness as a congressman in behalf of
the people, if the electors in every
congressional district will put the
question to the candidates they can
improve ?fche tone of the next con-
gress, send as the people have to pay
the salaries they should get what they
want. • And perhaps a pledge required
and given would be a support to a
weak or mercenary member when
temptation assailed him.

Yoiog Sea Is Dead
Austin, Aug. 7.—Walter F. Colquitt,
the 14-year-old son of Hon. O. B. Col-
quitt, died tonight at 7:80 o’clock.
The little fellow had been seriously ill
for fifteen days with typhoid fever of
the malignant type. His condition
rapidly grew worse and this morning
when his tempature slightly exceeded
107 degree* it became apparent that
he could not live through the day.
He was unusually popular with his
playmates, his gentle, considerate dis-
position readily winning him friends.
No hour for the funeral services has
yet been announced on account of the
fact that Mr. Colquitt’s son at Del
Bio, Oscar B. Jr., will be unable to
reach Austin before late tomorrow
afternoon.
Rawlins M. Colquitt, who is at Gal-
veston, will return to Austin at once.
Mr. Colqnitt tonight requested the
representatives of the press (^ex-
press to the citizens of Austin for
himself and hie family sincere appre-
ciation for the countless acts of kind-
ness performed daring his son’s ill-
ness and in the hoar of bereavement.
Especially is he appreciative of the
solicitude of Governor and Mrs. Camp -
bell. Mr. Colquitt will, of course, be
prevented from attending the Dem-
ocratic state convention at Galveston.
His private secretary, J. T. Bowman,
at the Royal hotel will have charge of
hie affairs.
He Wouldn't Stay Bought
A guest was expected for dinner and
Bobby had received five cents as the
price of his silence daring the meal.
He was as quiet as a mouse until, dis-
covering that his favorite dessert was
bein£ served, he could no longer curb
his enthusiasm. He drew the coin
from hie pocket, and rolling it across
the table exclaimed: “Here’s your
nickel, mama. I’d rather talk.”—
Soccess Magazine.
The attorney general of the state of
Texas has ruled that a married woman
can not hold the office of county school
superintendent. The ruling is based
on the law that a married woman can
not execate a bond. Sift it down to a
fine point and the laws of Texas say
that the wife ought to hold the baby
while husband holds the office—and
the pocket book.—Quanah Observer.
Women Acceptable.
San Antonio, Tex., July 30.—Al-
though Texas does not enjoy woman
suffrage, yet the returns from the
primary elections show that women
were nominated for office by the De-
mocrats. The nomination is equival-
ent to an election.
In Wilson County Miss Annie Wise-
man defeated R. W. G or lei son for
District Clerk by 21 votes. She made
an active campaign of her county.
Floresville is the connty eeat, and
there will be no opposition to her
qualifying for the office.
In Bee Connty Miss Lida Dangherty
was nominated for Connty Superin-
tendent of Schools. She has been a
teacher at Beville for several years
and is an able instructor.
At a recent marriage of an eccentric
farmer near Paris the groom was
asked: “Will yon take this woman
to be yonr lawfully wedded wife, to
love and cherish in sickness aud in
health, for better or for worse, for
richer or for poorer, until death do
you part?” There was an awkward
pause, but finally he replied; “Them’s
the calculation.”—Petty Enterprise.
