Geo. P. Richardson of Waxa-
hachie has bought a half interest
in the Commerce Journal. Mr.
Richardson is a practical news-
paper man and he and Mr. Ly-
ford will make a strong team.
The winter has been dry and
the indications are that the spring
and summer will be the same. If
ft should Delta county will raise
one of those bumper cotton crops
that has made the county famous.
This has been an unusually fine
winter for the farmers, very dry.
and the farmers nearly all have
their land in fine condition for
planting. Oats have been sown
and many are planting corn this
week. The indications are that
the acreage of both will be larger
than usual and that the cotton
acreage will be smaller.

Some Bailey and anti-Baiieyites
are clamoring for a primary to
elect four delegates at large to
the Denver convention, iust to
test the strength of the two fac-
tions. It is too bad that we have
the two factions in the Democrat-
ic party, but since we have and
they have to make a test of their
strength, let’s not put the state
to any more expense but be con-
tent with the decision of the peop-
le in the attorney’s race, which is
being made strictly a Bailey issue.
After a dead-lock of two months
a Democratic legislature of Ken-
tucky last Fiiday elected W. O.
Bradley, Republican candidate
for the U. 8. Senate, over J. VV.
C. Beckman, Democrat. There
were four Democrats so pre-
judiced against the Democratic
candidate that they chose to assist
the Republicans in electing a Re-
publican in his stead—such acts
as this is what has earned the
Democrats their right to their
party emblem.
For District Attorney.
We are authorized to announce
Clyde A. Sweeten a* u candidate
for attorney of the 8th judicial
district.
Mr. Sweeten was born in
Tennessee and at an early ago re-
moved with his parents to Texas,
locating in Wood county, where
they resided for a number of
years. He was a citizen of Hunt
county for five yeaas where he
taught school.
His opportunities to tit himself
for the trust he now asks at the
hands of the voters have been
■>od.
For four years lie was a hard
student at Campbell college, later
he attended for three years the
Southwestern University at
Georgetown, graduating from that
high-class institution with distinc-
tive honors. Subsequently, for
two years, he creditably tilled a
professor’s chair at Eastman
college at Sulphur Springs-.
In 1898 he was admitted to the
legal profession. He served as
assistant county attorney under
Pozit r Thornton for a period of
nearly four years in whioh service
he at all times made good. In 1904
Mr. Sweeton was elected county
attorney of Hopkins county with-
out opposition and succeeded
himself in 1908. His record as a
prosecutor has been prompt and
effective, during the time he has
ably assisted District Attorney
Stinson in his work over the dis-
trict, which has brought to him
much commedation as a compe-
tent and fearless official.
Having proved faithful over
the work intrusted to him in
Hopkins county he believes he
merits promotion, and that his
past record will justify the voters
in giving him that responsible
position for which he aspires.
If elected he promises to hon-
estly and fearlessly discharge the
duties of tire office without par-
tiality, and his record has been
such in Hopkins county that the
people can not doubt but that
he will do it.

HANGED TO LIMB.
For Flotorial Representative.
We take pleasure in presenting
John M. Frith as a candidate for
representative in the flotorial
district, composed of Delta, Hop-
kins and Franklin counties, sub-
ject to the single Democratic pri-
mary to be held July 25th.
To.many Delta county people
Mr. Frith needs no introduction.
He has lived on a farm near Char-
leston for the last 29 years. Dur-
ing this time he has taken an ac-
tive part in the social and polit-
ical development of his commun-
ity. and is now serving his fourth
term as justice of the peace of
that precinct, a place he has very
capability tilled.
He was educated in the univer-
sities of Louisiana and Virginia,
and has always been a close stu-
dent.
He is known in his neighbor-
hood fr>- his integrity and is un-
compromising with violators of
the law.
Though he is in close touch
yrith the farming interests he
keeps well posted on the issues
that will come before our legis-
lature, and if elected he will ably
represent our district.
We ask the voters of the three
counties to consider his claims
for this office.
It is not strange that the Aus-
tin Statesman is fighting Gen.
Davidson. That paper is owned
by John H. Kirby, the reputed
head of the lumber trust. It is
not strange that the Houston Post
is fighting Davidson. Its editor
and principal owner is the author
of the famous “Bowing to the
Law” editorial in the interest of
H. C. Pierce. It is not strange
that the Fort Worth Record is
fighting Davidson, Joe Bailey is
part owner of that paper.—Petty

Negro’s Body Found Suspended
From Elm Tree.
Conroe, Tex., Feb. 28.—“Warning to
Negroes Found Prowling in White
Folks’ House*.’’ This placard was tied
to the feet of a negro, Charley Scott,
whose dead body was found swinging
to a big elm tree at this place. The
asgro, who was eighteen years old and
was regarded by many as feeble mind-
ed, was quietly lynched by unknown
parties. No noise was made and no
abets were fired and nothing was
known of the lynching save by those
taking part until Friday morning,
when the sun revealed the gruesome
eight of a dead body dangling and
waving pendulum fashion by the
breeze.
A neighbor named Willett heard
Mrs. Powell Alley, wife of a leading
white citizen, scream before daylight
Thursday morning. He rushed over
In time to cRtch Scott emerging from
the house. The negro coula give no
explanation of his presence. Mr. Alley
was away from home. A warrant
charging criminal assault was sworn
out, but the negro was released on
bond. He was last seen alive at 8
o’clock Thursday evening at a local
hotel seeking his grandmother, who
cooked there.
FOUR DEMOCRATS CHANGE
Republics Erected Senator In
Bluegrasa State.
Frankfort, K.v„ Feb. 28.— Amid
scene* of wildest excitement on the
floor of the house of representatives,
former Governor William O’Connell
Bradley, Republican candidate, vas
Friday elected to succeed James B.
McCreary in the United States senate
for a term of six years, beginning
March 4, 1909. He l-eceived sixty-
four votes, barely enough to win, and
wa* enabled to gain victory through
the assistance of four anti-Beckham
Democrats, Senators McNutt and
Charlton and Representatives Mueller
Af Louisville and Llllard of Boyle
county.
There was great disorder in the
senate during the recapitulation, the
Republicans demanding that the speak-
er announce the result and the Demo-
crats seeking to delay, hoping to in-
4uce one of the Democrats to leave
Bradley.
In a speech accepting his election,
Bradley thanked the speaker for his
rail and Impartial rulings. He prom
laed to use every effort ae senator to
•ecure the repeal of the 6-eent tax on
tohacco.
Representative Llllard was the only
on* of the Democrats to explain his
vote for Bradley. He said he thought
the time to throw off the party shack-
les to break up the machine had come,
and although he did support the Dem-
ocratic ticket for fifty years, he be-
lieved his vote for Bradley was the
beet Democratic vote he ever cast.
BIG BLAZE AT LAREDO.
Starts In Moving Picture Show Just
After Performance.
Laredo. Tex., March 4.—Fire broke
out in a building on Lincoln street oc-
cupied by a moving picture show. The
fire occurred just after the perform-
ance had concluded, and but for that
fact loss of life would have resulted.
The fire gutted the building occupied
by the amusement company, spread
to Bryant’s jewelry store and the
building occupied by the Singer Sew-
ing Machine company and gutted both
buildings.
The financial loss will probably
reach $15,000.
AGAINST CAMPBELL.

Held at Hillsboro.
Hillsboro, Tex., March 4.—Follow-
Isthe text of a call, of number of
typewritten copies of which are being
circulated among the farmers of the
county for signatures:
“We, the undersigned Democrats and
taxpayers of Hill county, hereby call
a mass meeting at the court house in
Hillsboro on Monday, April 6, at 2
o’clock p. m„ to discuss the confisca-
tory tax system, and also to agree on
some man to run for governor against
the present incumbent.”

John Adams Dies.
San Antonio, Feb. 28.—Born when
John Adams, second president of the
United States, was in office but a few
months, and when, to the American
people Texas was but yet a part un-
known in the vast regions beyond tin-
borders of the thirteen states, Mrs
irlnidad Perez has died at the age of
110 years. For more than a century
she had lived within the area that now

For District Clerk.
The Review is presenting Mr.
T. E. Gardner this week as ^
candidate for re-election to the
office of district clerk, subject to
the result of the Democratic pri-
mary next July.
Mr. Gardner is well known to
the people of Delta county, hav-
ing lived here for the last 19years.
He was engaged in the mercan-
tile business in Cooper for sever-
al years, and has served the coun-
ty as distriek clerk for the last
three years. As to this faithful
performance of the duties of that
office there is no question. The
Finance Committee two years ago
complimented his work in the
highest terms, and men who have
had business in his office speak
well of his work. Mr. Gardner
makes the statement that during
the three years he has been in
office he has collected and turned
in more fees for the county than
had previously been collected
for the county in the past 10
years.
Mr. Gardner is a man of many
friends, he has been uniformly
courteous and obliging to all. and
(on his record of faithful and
competent service, he asks the
voter- for the office another term.
Consider his claims.
