served.
The board of directors of the Para

two instructors for the coming term,
Miss Frances Case and Mr.. Hill. the
latter highly recommended educator
from California. Miss Case has ac-
cepted the offer. and signed a con-

that the list is competent one
under the law. This was the stu
alton when the court adjourned at
the noon hour.
The attorneys for the anii.prohi.
bitionists also announced that they
would submit objections Of an
other character, or rather take up
another branch of their contention
that an election for a subdivision
OF the county should not be or
dered.
At the afternoon session the an.
tis introduced testimony tending
to show that numbers who signed
the petition are not qualified vot-
ers, and tnat two petitions had
been circulated in the county, one
for an election covering the entire
county, and later, one for a sub
division Of the county; also that
for a citizen Of Bryan to be a legal
signer of the petition, he is requir-
ed 10 have paid his city as we'll as
state aud county poll tax, and that
those over 60 years Of age are not
exempt from city poll tax.
Counsel for the prohibitionists
introduced testimony tending to
show that there are a sufficient
number Of qualified voters names
on the petition; and that to qali-
fly one to sign the petition it is not
necessary for him TO have paid the
city taxes, only payment Of state
and county polls being necessary.
They contend that those over 60
years of age are not subject TO a
poll tax, and further contend that
the cityis not authorized to levy
and collect poll tax of any one.
j. +. Butter of counsel for the
ants told this reporter that their
contention is that the petition
has not a requisite number Of
qualified signers; also that a
number OF names appearing up
on the petition for an election in a
subdivision Of the county were d.
tached from a petition for a county
election and attached 10 the other
petition by Others than the said

Commissioners Spent the Day Yester.
day Considering Il.

The commissioners court on
yesterday morning began the con-
sideration again Of the local option
petition. Attorneys for the anti
prohibitionists entered an objection
TO allowing the petition OF the pro-
hibiuonists, calling for an election
in ali the precincts OF the county
excepting precinct ., basing their
objection, first, upon the alleged
illegality OF the petition, a not
containing the requisite number Of
names of qualified voters. An in.
vestigation was ordered by the
court, and an examination of the
let Of signatures TO the petition
was entered upon. A list OF names
was submitted by the ants, and
the books Of the county tax collec-
tor were referred 10, 70 ascertain II
the parties had paid their poll
taxes. Enough names were ohal-
lenged to render the list insufficient
as a legal list, provided number
OF the parties challenged have not
legal exemptions from poll tax.
The same process was begun with
the signers residing in the city Of
Bryan, to see il such number OF
the signers living in the city are
not qualified voters as to reduce
the list below the requirements OF
the law for a lawful petition A num-
Der Of names were challenged, and

for the prohibitionists stated TO

it to a number of good citizens;
that the signers appearing thereon
knew thew were signing for m
