a "cinch" on the job were all right,
why were they changed the day be-
fore the contractors submitted their
bids? Why the necessity for max
ing "it' easier? The specifications
were changed, and actions speak
louder than words. This much ado
about nothing on the part of the
county judge saved the county just
1880, and this greenness of the
judge is what hurts Mr.. Meyer
Contractors need not be forced by
anything except honest competition
to put in their lowest figures when
bidding for contract, and Mr..
Meyers claim that he got the price
reduced to minimum is like
sieve full of holes. He seems able
to have no trouble in persuading
himself to believe anything which
suits his convenience to believe and
to then assert his beliefs as facts.
AS far as Mr.. Meyer and his
much boosted bridge building ca
pacity are concerned, allow me to
say that when he was telling what
others had said about me and my
acts, he forgot to state what his old
friend, Alsbury, of Houston, (who
built the last iron bridge for Lavaca
county,, said in the New Era in
reply to his, Meyers, first article in
the GAZETTE in so far as same re-
ferred to bridge building. Mr..
Alsbury says Mr.. Meyers state
ments were not true and were a lot
of rot, and as yet Mr. Meyer has
not seen fit to reply to this letter Of
Mr.. Alsbury's, which puts him in
the soup" He doubtless forgot
all about it, for he is quite forgetful,
for he neglected to explain, as re-
quested by me that he should, why
he, while claiming that he was bit
terly op osed to building the new
court house on the site occupied by
the old one, voted to build it on the
same spot. presume that he voted
that way because Commissioner
Checker was willing that it should
be so.
1 state that Mr.. Heiner stated
publicly that It would be preferable
to have the base built of granite
even at a difference in cpst of
$4,000. Mr.. Meyer saYs-that lAIr.
Heiner at another time made a diff
ferent statement. Well, l am not
responsible for Mr.. Heiner's state
ments or as Mr., Meyer understands
them. Mr.. Meyer says the differ
ence in price between granite and
stone base is $4,000. while the figures
submitted to the court show diff
ference of $1,000, but then Mr..
Meyer never gets anything right.
He once stated TO the court that
Mr.. Burow. one of the Dewitt
county commissioners, had told him
that the Dewitt county court house
could be duplicated Everything
connected with it) for 100000,
when an investigation showed that
he had misquoted Mr.. Burow and
that the cost would be at least
$75, 1000, a difference of just $4,000,
but then Mr.. Meyer cares not for
little mistakes.
| asked Mr.. Meyer to name some
modern built court house in which
the records had been burned, and
he goes off to northeast Texas and
finds Upshur county,a little county
which never had n decent court
house, and talks about it because
he could not answer the question.
1t is a we'll known fact that mod
ern built court house has nothing
in it to burn, and that money spent
for an independent steel vault is

Frank Daniels achieved last year a
record that most comic opera stars
spent lifetime to attain. That. Is he
found himself materially on the proht
side Of the ledger at the end Of the sea-
son, 'Srhe Wizard of the Nile Was one
OF the few theatrical ventures OF last
season which was successful nom tae
very start, Not only was the opera the
hest comic story that Harry b.
