uty Supreme President Tom j.

days ago for the purpose of rejuv-
enating Abbott Lodge No. 23l
Fraternal Union of America. Dep
rty Braly's whole heart and soul Is
in this work. He Ii affahle, eour-
steous and persistent In bis efforts,
bat not boorIsh TO that extent that
he disgusts theindlvidual canvassed,
as do some deputies In the field. He
is well onto his job, as has been
exenpiitied by the accessions he has
obtained for Abbott Lodge the short
time he has been among us and con
siglering the stringency OF the times
financially. After having helped us
and six social members, he win
leave us tonight for new fields for
operation. Abbott Lodge No. 25l,
which had become very lethnrgic, is
more alive today than IL has ever
been before, even when first organ
ized, with a good prospect for sew
eral more new members In the near
future. This Is principally owing
to the clear and fine expose of fra
ternlry and the benefits 10 be de-
rived from being q member OF the
Fraternal Union OF America made

not be too careful in the organizers

Colquitt Speaks.

Hon. o. Il. Colquitt, of Terrell,
spoke at the court house this after
noon in behalf of his candidacy for
the office of railroad commissioner.
Mr.. Colquitt was introduced to the
audience by Hon. s. p. skinner
After few preparatory remarks in
which he referred to the past politi-
cal associations of Ellis and Kauf-
man counties Mr.. Colquitt briefly
defined his views on questions con-
neeted with the railway commits
sion. He said there was no more
important office in the state than
that Of railway commissioner and
the duties of the office ought to be
discharged i'm the interest of the
whole people. He thinks the pres
ent freight rates are too high and
they ought To be so fixed and regu-
lated as 10 build mp the states man
ufacturing enterprises and develop
her natural resources The freight
rates within rhe state are out OF
proportion to the rates fixed by the
interstate commission. As the rates
now exist the jobbing interests of
st. Louis and other eastern cities
are being fostered and built up to the
detriment of the interests of Texas.
The interests of Texas are being
paralyzed. The resources of the
state are not half developed. Mr..
Colquitt said he was opposed to the
maximum freight bill recently be-
fore the legislature and says If it
was to be enacted into law the
railway commission should be
abolished.
After Mr.. Colquitt had finished
speaking Mr.. John w. Hornsby,
candidate for the same office, made
an announcement.
This was the day for the candi-
dates for Representatives to close
their speaking canvass in the county
and at the hour of going 10 press
they were holding forth TO lara a
crowd.
