A reporter of the LIGHT yester-
day met Hon. Marshall Burney, Of
Atascosa county, who has just
returned from visit to South Ala
bama, where he spent few weeks
with his mother and other rela-
tives, and who Is stopping a few
days in the city with his old time
friend Col. j. G. Carr, on South
Flores street. His mother is now
in her 10Th year, hale and hearty
as any of the family, and he left
his bright little son, Bodice, over
there to be company for his grand
mother and also to attend school.
Questioned about his trip and

two ways: first, the result of the voting

Cleveland will take no immediate action.
