Caught the Public Carrier.

Constable Smith arrived in town on
Thursday morning and in the evening
took passage on a country wagon 60
ing southwark out ofstown. He hap
pened (0 to meet Mr.. Sam Simpsons
dray coming back from Rockten with
two barrels of flour, but had an idea
that they contained "the juice of the
forbidden fruit" Consequently he
put Sam Moore, the driver, in another
Jacksonville boarding house. Jim
Toatley was with Moore and the
wagon, horse and the darkies were all
jailed. The 10 gallons of the flower
of corn and rye were deposited in the
sheriff7s Office. The barrels were mark
ed to @. D. Davis, each barrel con-
tanning gallons packed in wheat
straw. Sam Moore got pay from ou,
reporter for doing some work before
that work was done and he will never
be able to stay out Of trouble until be
fuliills his contract. Mr.. Simpson
says he does not know who the liquor

He SHOWED THE RIGHT SPIRIT.-A
colored man by the name of Sam
Gather said to our reporter that the
reliet committee had sent his wife a
load of wood. That he knew nothing
of it until it had been delivered and
had he known it sooner he would have
told the committee not to send it. He
said he ''did not want his name in the
papers" as receiving gifts, that he
worked for his living and had ;ordered
wood which came soon after the conf
mittees wood did. We admire Sans
spirit, if there we're more of his kind
the committee would not have 50 much
to do and the Council would not be
imposed On. Let others follow Sans
example and lay up for rainy day.

If You Want to Know How
Good Buggies are Made,
READ.

Seats:
| Our seat frames are made of white
ash, thoroughly glued together at corH-
ers and symmetrical skirt cut on
| them;
Panels are made oval by arranging
the machine with Especial rig we have
gotten up, so that when the seat is
! finished it presents convex surface,
thus causing the varnish to show to
good advantage, and giving the vehicle
= handsome appearance. Seats are
thoroughly ironed to pattern so that
they are all alike, and backs and tops
are interchangeable. The advantage
of this is that if you have one of our
buggies. and want cushion, back or
top we can send you one to fit. Pamela
are made Of Blae Ridge Mountain
poplar.
Our seats are made by Kr. Cicero
Moore with competent corps Of as
sistants.

Der from Corsicana, calmly

children in Corsicana. He Dor

$500 from Il business house and
other sums from other people,
and the hotel, all footing up to
over $4,000. Talking to a gen
tleman from Corsicana this
morning he informed your cor
respondent that when Watkins
was at home a few days before
adjournment he borrowed sums
aggreg lting 81, 100 and bought
several outfits of clothing on a
credit which he brought to Aus
tin with him, and carried off

enough but it would probably
lave been more satisfactory iii
some cases, however, to let them
remain there, as they undoubt-
edly deserved punishment.

POPULIST WATKINS.
Plays Austinites for Suckers
Treasury Gone Broke, Etc.

AuSUln, 1eAaS. May II, IO5J.
The treasury has gone broke
sure enough this time and up
to Saturday afternoon about
$550,000 worth of warents had
been registered and it looks
now that the deficiency, before
the end of the year will reach a
million dollars. Ii is believed
warrents will 60 as low as 90
cents before fall and the dis
count added to the ten and
twenty per cent reduction in
salaries of government clerks
is going to work q great hard
ship upon them. BY the way
this suggests the query "why
doesn't the state sell the war
rents and suffer the loss" a
business or any other man if
he owes for clerk hire or for
labor has to hustle around to
get money TO pay with. It's a
common thing for contractors
to discount their own bills at
Il bank to obtain money with
which to pay their laborers.
They suffer the loss, if any,
and pay their laborers their
full wages. Why don't the
state do the same thing! Is it
not the honorable and honest
thing to do.
The penitenliary board at its
meeting last Wednesday took
up the question of the reso-
luton adopted by the legislat
IRE TO amend the constitution
to authorize the issuance Of
bonds for the purpose of buy
ing large farms on which to
work conyicts. The experience
of the past fifteen years I'M
mistakable shows that convict
farms pay and they pay well.
Indeed had it not been for the
farms and the proceeds Of con
yicts hired to cotton and sugar
planters the people would have
been paying at least 100000 Il
year to keep up the peniten-
tiaries. The penitentiary
board will probably fix up
some statistics showing how
the farms pay and will send
them out o the people.
The Huntsville Normal
School was discussed by the
State Board of Education this

raise, but the board voted it
anyhow and from what is

right. The school has had 4

PEDDLERs' OCCUPATION TAX

Guthrie, Ok. May PA
case of general interest all over
the country was decided by
Judge Dale late last evening.
Some time ago J. Thomas and
F. NJ. Cabiness took orders by
sample for a large amount of
household goods for a Topeka
firm, but when they attempted
to deliver the goods we're ar
rested by the city authorities
for refusing to pay d. peddlers'
occupation tax. The court held
that the right to sell by sam
pie implied the right to
deliver the goods sold,
and that the transaction
was strictly Interstate com
merce, and hence not subject to
regulations and restrictions Of
city ordinances, being wholly
controlled by the laws Of con-
gress. The petitioners We're
discharged accordingly. The
city will appeal to the supreme
court.
