some OF his fellOW-prlsOners tor some DAYS
past that he was on the point of making

that may be presented.

Railroad Commission Advertising

IhallEOau Tom nlSsiOn AdNerIlSIu&s
Atanst oar. Macon Telegrdpb.
There is likely to be split between the
Railroad Commission and the newspa-
pers which are by law designated as the
mediums of advertising the schedule,
rates, changes, etc. Under the original
act newspapers were allowed to charge
their regular rates, and when their bills
we're approved by the Railroad Commits
sion the chairman or secretary, the
Comptroller General advised their pay
ment, and the warrants were drawn.
Recently attention has been called to the
act Of 1888, which prescribes that the
newspapers designated by the original
bill as mediums OF publication shall not be
allowed TO charge exceeding 80 cents per
square, or inch, for such publications as
are necessary. When the bills came in
for the first quarter, none of the papers
observed the provision, and each bill was
approved BY the commission. When the
bill IS were presented to the Comptroller
General for his approval he declined to
certify TO them, because in no instance
was the charge per square within the
limit OF the act Of 1853 Accordingly
nearly all the bills were sent back for
correction.
The question arises, what will be the
effect on the prOmulgatiOns of the com
mission II these notices are not published
The newspapers OF the State, particularly
the IefeQfGDh, Constitution. Savannah
NEWS, and Augusta Chronicle, will prob
ably refuse 10 contribute 10 the susten-
ance OF the Railroad Commission by pub
fishing their notices a. soc. per square.
The law prohibits any greater charge and
says the publications must he made in
these papers. lf these notices are not
published the railroads cannot be bound
by them, and the newspapers are not
compelled to publish them. The only
way out OF it is TO have the
law changed This cannot be done
til the next session OF the Leg
slature. In the meantime if the
newspapers decline to furnish the State
gratuitous advertising what will be the

Captain James G. Storey.

1t is not our purpose to give an ex
tended biographical notice of the
above named gentleman, who is now
brought into conspicuity by his can
didacy for County Judge, but mere
ly to note q few points in his career
for the benefit of the newer class o.
our citizens.
Captain Storey is native of Geor
gia, and first came to Texas in the
winter of 1916, settling in Gonzales
county. In 1S49, while a resident OF
Caldwell county, he attended school
in San Marcos. He took up his
residence in this county in 1853.
He was elected clerk of the courts,
and served five years as such before
the war. When the war came he en-
tered the service and did his duty
faithfully as a soldier and officer.
After the war he was appointed pre-
siding justice of the county by Gov.
Hamilton, and afterwards elected by
the people, but was removed from
Office after the removal of Governor
Throclmorton. With the exception
of term as Representative in the
Legislature, we believe he has since
remained in private life, in which he
has ever manifested the best traits
of a good citizen. The capability
and honesty which have ever charac-
terized him in public offices affords the
best guarantee, should he be elected.
of an acceptable administration by
him Of the duties of the important of
fee of County Judge.

The County Election.

| Aht NVhhsi S'N'''"".
The FREE Pass has said but LITTLE
thus far on this subject AS oul
readers know, il is not in the habit o
going of "half-cockod" on any sub
joct. The general subject however
is one OF great importance; so we vii
"break ground" sufficiently to indi
cate our views, and shall have more
TO say further on.
Our idea, to begin with, cores
ponds with the suggestion which
good teachers Of geography and his
tory inculcate upon their pupils, viz
To begin with your own immediate
locality before extending your re-
searches to those more distant. Sc
we believe the people Of Hays coun-
ty should look first to their own po-
litical affairs before being too much
concerned over the condition of the
nation, or even the state. Charity
in this case certainly begins at home.
Here there is the greatest need OF
reformatlon-we mean, tho greatest
need that concerns us. We have, in
tho main, an excellent population ;
sufficient, if well united, to control
the elections of our town and county.
But the lack of union is the great
trouble. While the immoral and
lawless influences are well united, and
readily WELD the ignorant element in
our midst at their will, 80 as to secure
to themselves the offices, overawe
public sentiment-if necessary, by
violence and blood-shed-the solid,
sober, law-abiding, God-fearing por-
ton of the people, whose interests
and good name arc vitality involved,
living apart at their farms and places
of business, have no such concert
among themselves, and hence allow
the vicious element too often to be-
come the controlling factor in our
local politics. This should no longer
be. Let our sober, moral people
unite and stand together as one man
in defense of the best interests of
society, and all will be well. We be-
lieve it was Jefferson who said that
Eternal vigilance is the price of
Liberty" If good people will not
look after their own interests and the
well-being of the community, we
know of nobody else who will. In
vain may you multiply your churches
and schools, inaugurate Chautauqua
societies, and boast of yourselves as
a model people,if you,by your supine-
