Editor Colfan Chronicle,

thing has appeared In print from this
section. so II you will allow q small
space IN your valuable paper l will
try to pen something between show
ers, instead of drinks. as we are n
temperance, ,peace-loving community
of people.
Mrs. Eliza Rush, the pleasant little
wife OF our country store Keeper
A. X. Rush, has been quite iii, but we
are glad to say she is convaIescent.
after a spell Of slow fever.
Miss Jessie Johnston, one of our
most progressing young ladies', Is
expected home this evening from Nor
wood, La, after a months visit to
school mates who attended the SILL
man with her last year.

as guest of that estimable lady. Mrs,

Miss Annie HadnOt, who In teach
ing at Prospect, was called home
Thursday by the illness OF her moth
er. Mrs. Hadnot, we are clad to
note, Is better, hut still confined to
her bed. Miss Annie will resume her
duties on the LIST. She has only n
short term, and the mumps, measles
and whoOping cough are In the com
munity, and those who have not had
them are afraid to send. The FAINT
lies who have been stricken with eth
er are not able to send and school
has been small.
Parents. let your children have all
these diseases while you are living
and they are with you, so you can
care Tor them, and thus do away with
the fear and dread Of them having
them and not being properly cared
for. More soldiers died from expos
ure from measles and mumps during
all the wars that have come over the
land than Were killed by bullets.
MIR. Sam Walker, Of Columbia. is
expected to spend while as guest of
the HadnOt home some time soon.
Another young gsteamboatman need

pretty girls, and If you don't do well
we are sure it will he your own bad

TO the Voters of the Third Railroad
Commission District
In announcing myself a candidate
for reelection as Railroad Commits
sioner, do SO subject to nomination
by the Democratic party. In pre-
senting my claims for reelection per-
init me to say that / am a planter,
raising cotton and hay for shipment
to market. consequently l am by ma
ture, by training and by financial in
terest, in thorough sympathy with
the producer and conslImer-theO one
who. I'm the end, pays all the freight
and other expenses-and who needs
protection more than any one else,
and to whom the Railroad Commits
sion can be made the most important
office in the State.
During the year and a half that l
have held the Office, it has been my
aim land 1t shall he my aim as long
hold IT. to guard closely the inter-
ests: (1) of the farmers and producers;
(2) of the towns in my district; CD to
deal out even-handed Justice to the
carriers that come within our jurisdic-
ton. This, l feel l have done faith.
fully and efficiently.
Again. as the Commission is hardly
more than well organized and under
way with it's work, feel that theex-
perience gained up to this time will
be valuable to me in the fuller and
more efficient discharge of it's duties
in the future.
Having drawn the short term of
two years, | believe you will agree
with me that it would be nothing
more than common Justice that he
returned and given an opportunity
to utilize the experience gained. and
help carry into effect the reforms
which have studied and helped to
map out.
With this brief explanation, l re-
spectfully solicit the vote and support
of each and every voter in the district.
Very respectfully.

The party of biologists, paleontolo-
gists and botanists who were invited
last summer by the Union Pacific Rail-
road company to visit and explore the
fossil fields of Wyoming, spent forty
days in the rocky wilderness. Within
twenty days their number had dwin-
died from sixty-six to fourteen men,
the majority having given up the un-
dertaking en- route. About six tons
of the fossil remains of ancient ami
mails were collected and shipped east
ward, but no complete skeleton of a
dinosaur was discovered. Much OF
the exploration was in rough coun-
try resembling the "Bad Lands" OF
Dakota. The bones were found
cracked into innumerable pieces, and
had to be bandaged and set in plaster
before removal.

There is ordinarily no concert OF
action among state legislatures. Nev-
ertheless similar conditions produce
similar results; and a comparison OF
the more important laws enacted in
the several states makes 1t possible to
trace certain controlling influences, and
to ascertain what ideas are uppermost
in the minds of legislators. The place
which the trust" issue, for example,
holds in the public mind is shown by
the fact that Twenty-Five states and
territories now have laws which are
intended to restrict or prohibit trusts.
Nine of the laws were enacted last
year; those of Arkansas, Michigan,
Missouri and Texas were especially
stringent.
