. Postoffice inspector L. H. Hum-
bert of Beaumont was in town Tues-
day and Wednesday looking for a
suitable place for the mew Post Of-
fice. Mr. Humbert wm here before
last week, bjut nothing could be de-

On his second visit, Inspector
•Humbert, accompanied by Deputy
Postmaster Lasley, looked over the
vacant store in the ^tark building
and also the vacant space in the
Holland Hotel one side pf which is
occupied- by tfee ¡Commercial Club.
It is thought that a suitable place
can .be arranged for by combining
this space with that which was use£
as a cafe and pool room.
Mr. Humbert was much perplexed
about the new site, but seemed to
think that everything woutf turn
out well before tlie expiration of the

spent $20,481.35 in his unsuccessful
race for Governor, lie traveled 10,-
305 miles by rail and spent $309.15
fo* railroad fare.- His Pullman fare
bill amounted to $50 and his hotel
and meals account to $86.50.
Mr. Ramsey did not see fit to
strike a total in his statement. On
the contrary he set forth his ex-
penses under 848 different items
spread over , thirteen pages. Run off
on an adding, machine, the different
items- strung out for about eighteen
feet on the slip. The largest single
item given is for.printing and sta-
tionery with an Austin firm. This
amounted to $1040.60. But items of
this same Class are scattered at fre-
quent intervals throughout the state-
ment. Speakers cost the candidate
$33^.90, according to one item. One
bill- of $625 was paid to the West-
ern Union Telegraph Company for
telegrams, and another amounting
to $78 was paid to the Postal Tele-
graph Company. Some of the items
were as^low as 30c.
It is r.quired art hour of an adding
machine man's time to ascertain just
how much "the candidate, had spent
in his race. Mp. Ramsfey himself
said in handing out copies of his
statement that he had no idea how
much the total was. He ventured
to- guess it was '«fout $20,000/'
