Through Nearly Intact

Through Nearly Intact.
Galveston, Texas. November 11--Tho
democrats of Galveston are very much
elated over the result of the recent local
election, This was the first time that
the democratic party has gotten out an
entire county ticket and there was some
hesitation on the part OF candidates in
going before the democratic primaries. 1t
Is asserted that certain Independent can
didayes who were defeated could easily
have secured the nomination OF the DEM
ocratic party had they endeavored to do
so. II is safe to say that there will be no
trouble in getting candidates TO 20 before
the democratic primaries next time, as
1T is now conceded that this will virtually
decide the election, as II does in many
other democratic strongholds in the State.
Nothing further has been given out in
regard to the contest OF the local election.
Chairman Night OF the county democratic
executive committee was asked about the
matter today by The Post reporter and he
declined TO make any statement In regard
TO 1t. Mr. Night leaves this evening for
East Texas on legal business.

CHAPPELL HILL NOTES.
historic Methodist Church Hns Deer
Torn Down.

TORN Down.
Chappell Hill. Texas, November 10.
What was left of the Methodist Episcona,
church after the terrible storm OF Sen.
TENDER has been torn down preparatory
TO the construction of new and up-to-
date building upon the same ground, for
which contracts have been let This church
had become historic as an old landmark
in this section OF Washington county. 1t
was great center Of Methodism and from
Its rostrum some of the most famous
preachers of the Methodist church have
proclaimed its doctrines in most eloquent
and earnest terms. Its membership was
and IS larger than any other Protestant
church here. As an adjunct of Chappell
Hill female college it's rebuilding was a
necessity and, though our people were ali
more or less damaged by rain, storm and
weevl, their subscriptions to this end
have been large and liberal and the re-
suit will soon be a new and elegant
church.
Mr.. Joe Routt, who was appointed by
many Washington county farmers to 20 to
North Texas for the purpose of buying
cotton seed for planting next spring, got
back yesterday and reported that the
character and kind of seed he went to
buy was very scarce and difficult to buy.
He succeeded, however, by much travel
and close search, in buying seventeen
carloads, which is to be delivered here
at very early day and is to be sold to
our farmers in such quantities as each
may need. The seed is said to be very
superior to the seed here, maturing so
much earlier that II is hoped thereby 10
escape the ravages of the boil weevil next
year. Should this be accomplished it
will be saving to cur farmers OF thou
sands of dollars.
Rev. j. l.. Massey of the BRENNAN NJ. e.
church was announced TO lecture in Coll

of .nclement weather 1t had to be post
