Daily Texarkana Democrat., 1893-09-02

Much credit is due to Capt. c. f.
Dixon and a very few other leading
Democrats for their efforts to secure
judges and otherwise provide for the
opening of polls in this city today,
thereby affording local voters an op-
portunity TO cast their ballots for the
Democratic nominees for Chief and
Associate Justices of the State Su-
preme court.
This morning the bondsmen Of Col
lector A. S. Blythe paid into the coun-
ty treasury $1,O55, balance due by
him to the county, as tax collector.
This strsightens out all of his short
age as Collector. Again, the DEMO
GRAFT commends the action of those OF
the bondsmen who SO promptly paid
out of their own pockets, sum ofabout
$4,000. If the state and county had
have had to go to law to make it out
of them, it would not only have oCca-
stoned long delay, but also considera-
BILE expense.
