THEY RAN HIM HIGH.
THE COAST COMMITTEE HAS SOME BIG
FUN.

Jackson News.
The members OF the investigating
committee, which spent the week on
the coast, had Il good deal OF fun on
their trip, and this is especially the
case with one learned and dignided
senator who furnished the committee
with 10 end OF amusement. This SEN
ator is from Il near by county and Is
well known in Jackson, but the re-
porter refrains from giving his name.
The party took a trip on the gulf and
one day the waves were a little rough,
and the vessel was tossed from side to
side. This senator, who is a land
!ubber, had never been on a like trip
before and, as luck would have it, he
had just eaten a hearty meal. AS
those things do, it struck him all ut
once and he doubled up like a Jack
knife and commenced to groan. Sew
cral OF his friends rushed up to him
and asked him what was the matter.
lie made an effort to speak but could
not do so for some minutes. Finally
he motioned one Of his friends to bend
down, indicating that he had some
thing to tell him. lie told him to tell
the other legislators to gather around
him and witness his last will and test
amcnt. TO his wife he left most OF
his property and directed her to sell
the farm and all the stock with the
exception OF one Jersey COW, which he
directed her to keep. He requested
one Of his senatorial friends to request
certain senator, who was not of the
party, to introduce a joint resolution
In the senate voting a small apprOpri-
alton TO his family.
The senator began to heaye, and for
more than an hour he vas the sickest
mortal imaginable. When it was all
ovcr the boys began to guy him about
1t, but lie did not attempt to fool
them, acknowledging that he was un-
der the impression that he was going
tn die. lie will never hear the last OF
that little episode.

Food for Thought

There were two interviews printed In
the News yesterday which ought to set
people to thinking. 1t was shown In
one Of these interviews that the banks
are already beginning to call in their
paper, and even paper which at other
times they would have been glad to
renew. This tendency on the part of
lenders of money will grow stronger as
the situation grows more uncertain
Men who lend money on a gold basis
will take no chances of being repaid
in cheap silver. This is shown by the
practice of the building associations as
described in the other interview The
secretary of one of these associations
said yesterday that there had hardly
been a building association mortgage
made in the past three years which did
not contain gold clause. We quote his
words
Il do not believe it Is generally known
that nearly every building and loan as
ISOLATION in this city and in the state, l
suppose, has put in every mortgage it
has taken for the last three years a
clause to the effect that the loan shall
be paid in gold, if demanded by the as

also opposed the endorsement of Bland
and favored the endorsement of Bland
Hogg for the presidency. A general

very vehement in their opposition to
Bland.
John Regain also spoke opposing any
presidential instructions at all. Dud-

committee spoke In advocacy Of the
Bland endorsement. Judge Bramlett
introduced q resolution stating in effect
that Bland was the choice of the people
Of Texas, and deemed it advisable to the
interests of silver to vote for him at
Chicago. Congressman Bailey spoke in
advocacy of the resolution and stated
alphabetically that he favored Bland.
Gov. Hogg said the adoption Of the res
elution would have no more effect on the
Chicago convention than the shifts Of

At o'clock after much discussion
Bland was finally instructed for almost
unanimously. Messages were sent to

sent a straight-out silver delegation to
Chicago. Adjournment was had sine
