cases, making a total *oi nearly
one thousand cases finally dis-
posed of. lie has discharged the
duties of his office in ’ a* business
like manner, and that he has

state owing to the press of his

as much as he would like to do,
but stated that he4toped to make
most of the night and Saturday

other county candidates.—(adv.)

W. L. Crawford, yr.,* places

his name in our announcement
column as a candidate tor repre-
sentative, place No. 1. He states
he does not favor the full .rendi-
tion law, but is strictly in favor
of reducing taxes. In speaking
of him the Irving Index says:
“He is the son of Judge M. L.
Crawford and is a child of Dallas
county. He bears the reputation
of an excellent citizen and a law-
yer of high attainments for his
age; and' he inherits the5 force
and combativeness of the Craw-
ford family of lawyers and de-
baters. His de mocracy is straigh t
and bis judgment firm, and his
self will resolute. Young in
years,1 but ripe in the requisites
for a good legislator. He should
make a gdod leader for the Dal-
las county delegation, and per-
haps for the Housepof the 31st
Legislature. Dallas countv could
hardly make a mistake in head-
ing its delegation by*W.L. Craw-
ford, Jr. Index believes he
would represent the people and
not the ‘interests.’” Adv.

We were asked recently why
it was that Lancaster merchants
commanded so large a trade when
so closely situated to Dallas.
When the volume of trade and
low rent is considered, it is plain
enough to size up the situation.

The Mavpearl Herald of last
week contained a notice concern-
ing the candidacy of Judge M. M.
Fondren for representative of
Ellis county, place No. 2. The
paper says many good things of
him and says: “He is strictly in
favor of allowing the newspapers
the right to exchange space in
their papers for railroad mileage,
or anything they want to.” The
Judge is the father of our Aider-
man T. R. Fondren.
'Earle Moore, the seven-year-
old son of J. G: Moore and wife
was operated on for gall stones
at a sanitarium in Dallas Thurs-
day of last week. Two examina
tions and the XRav had been
used twice to discover the cause,
but the operations proved both in
error as no stones or growth
were found. Sunday his condi-
tion was quite serious, but the
latest report, before going to
f. •• • . ’ • s .
press was that he was improving.
Friends of the family are sharing
the hope that he will soon be able
to be brought home. Mrs. Moore
is at bis bedside. .
The commissioners acting as
a board of equalization, and as-
sisted bv citizens from the sev-
eral districts, classified the’ land
and fixed their real cash value:
On first grade, $30 to $40 oer
acre; on second gi ade, $20 to $30,
and on third grade, $20 and down.
The opinion was generally that
pike roads add to the value of ad-
jacent lands, and that Johnson
grass^detracts from the value of
lands infested therewith. It was
conceded that lands infested with
Johnson grass would sell for from
one-third to one-half less than the
same character of land not so in-
fested. Only a small per cent
of Dallas county lands were con-
sidered of no value at all.
The action of the court of
criminal appeals at Austin today
in affirming the sentence of im-
prisonment for five years against
“Buck” Waters, will arouse in-
terest throughout the county.
News of the court’s ruling was
wired to Dallas as soon as it was
made and caused considerable
comment. Waters’ attorneys are
expected to move at once for a
rehearing. Waters shot and
killed Will Brandon at Lancaster
about a year ago. On his first
trial he was given a term of thir-
ty years in the penitentarv. Tie
was granted a new trial bv Judge
W. W. Nelms. At this trial the
jury returned a verdict against
him and fixed his punishment at
five years’ confinement. Sen-
tence was passed and it was this
on which the court of appeals
passed this morning. Both trials
of Waters were largely attended.
