The announcement of R. B.
Parker as a candidate for re-
election to the office of county
commissioner from Prec’t No. 2,
appears in this issue. Mr. Par-
ker has ser./ed the people of that
precinct for the past several
years, is always at his post when
duty calls, and his constituents
are pleased sufficiently with his
work to ask him to again seek the
office.
J. E. Wiley announces in this
issue for the office of assessor of
taxes. He served for a time as
deputy sheriff of Bell county, and
has been in public business in
Lampasas almost continuously
for about 18 years. He is fa-
miliar with accounts, and knows
of the lands and values of the
county. He has always been a
democrat, and is subject to the
democratic primary election. He
asks your consideration, believ-
ing he can fill the office and sat-
isfy the demands of the public.
The Kingsland Rustler has re-
sumed publication under new

lisher. The Leader wishes the
Rustler success and extends to it
the glad hand of greeting.

Attorney Genera! Decides-
The following letter which has
boon received by County Attor-
ney G. S. Arnold from the office
tYi the attorney general will cast
some light on the matter of the
possibility of a prohibition elec-
ttdn in the near future. Ifcfseema
that £the impression had gotten
.feooutj that the election on the
matter of local option in the
^>unty would be hold in a short
kme. According to this decision
it would not be legal to hold such
%n election at the present time:
Austin, Feb. 5th, 1906.
o, 3. Arnold, Lampasas, Tex.
Gear Sir:—We are in receipt
of yours of the 31st ultimo and in
; re ply thereto you are advised that
■0, m our opinion that the comnaia-
akmers’ court of your county
have no authority to order
other local option election in
your county until two'years shall
&.nve expired since the prior lo-
option law went into effect.
The act of the 29th Legislature
having become effective before
diae commissioners’ court could,
mider the circumstances sur-
••o. riding them, order the second
bisection, it is our opinion that this
now law is binding upon the
■jornmissionors’ court.
Yours truly,
Claude Pollard,
jffice Assistant Attorney Gen.
W. J, N. Gracy has recently
made some extensive improve-
ments at his home on Western
avenue, adding a stable and
making an addition to the resi-
dence. It is a pleasure to note
that these old settlers make ad-
ditions and improvements to add
the comfort of the family.
Ballinger papers report that E.
I*, Rasbury and a partner named
Doose have been granted a gas
franchise at that place, and that
work will begin at once to put in
gas works. Mr. Rasbury will
iib.ow those western people what
energy and push will do.
W. C. McGuire has purchased
what is known as the Greenwood
pt$ce, some two miles out from
Lampasas, and is making his
ftome there*
Mrs. A. L. Higdon writes the
Leader from New York, on one
of the souvenir postals contain-
ing a photo of the New York
Times building, and says: “This
is a very good paper, but the
Lampasas Leader would look
good to me.’’ She will be look-
ing at the Leader in a few days,
if the mails go right, for we have
just mailed her a complete file.
It is pleasant to get such mes-
sages.
The remainder of the Senior
class of the U. S. Naval Academy
were graduated this week with
appropriate ceremonies in the
presence of a large audience.
Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte
was present. There were several
laddies who might have graduated
with honor had it not been for
th^ir hazing propensities and the
disagreement of the special court-
martial with this particular ferm
of amusement. The action taken
by the authorities in this instance
v : 4 ll!\ j M D j i } i c (ft cte
Heretofore it had generally end-
ed in a whitewash of the whole
thing. It is safe to say that no
midshipman will likely be guilty
of hazing in ihe future as long as
the present attitude is maintained
against that barbarous custom.
And the first-year men will have
the satisfaction of being able to
go through that year without the
annoyance and the humiliation
of being kicked and cuffed about
by lordly upper classmen. The
courtmartial has/infused a good
healthy spirit of democracy into
the academy which was fast be-
coming very English in its man-
ner of treating under classmen.
Let the good work go on.

Probably no man in the county
is better acquainted with the lands
and land values as well as the
value and rating of other proper-
ty than T. H. Haynie, who offers
in this issue as a candidate for
the office of assessor of taxes,
subject to the action of the dem-
ocratic primary election. He has
filled this office several times,
knows what ought to be done and
how to do it, and asks your sup-
port.
This is a strenuous age. Truly,
Teddy has many disciples. A
woman who is the proprietress of
a hotel at El Paso discovered that
a Mexican was attempting to
break into her house. She took
a shot at him and then throwing
the gun away, proceeded to kick
the greaser out. Beware of the
strenuous woman.
