Double Daily Train Service.

The Lampasas Leader says: sit
is reported on good authority
that the Santa Fee will put on
three trains daily between Gle
burne and Galveston, and you
may expect a new time card out
to that effect "any day" 1t is
likely that this movement will
put Lampasas and the entire
branch nearer to Galveston and
Houston than heretofore, as ev-
cry additional train put into
operation shortens the distance
by shortening the time. 1t will
not be long until the two trains
on the branch will be running all
the way to Angelo, instead of
only making Brentwood.
San Angelo people, while DIS
couraged at not being provided
with double daily train service
when the new time card was made
up early IN this month, are still
working and hoping for that i'm.
proved accommodation. And
there's method in their work If
the other towns west Of and in
GLIDING Brentwood would bestir
themselves it is highly probable
that the arguments Of the Texas
officials of the Santa Fee could be
overcome and that President Rip
ley and Vice President McKen-
drick of Chicago would issue The
order which would put II double
daily train service into operation,
These gentlemen, The Press has
good reasons for believing, were
very fayorably impressed with the
conditions of West Texas on the
occasion Of their visit Of some
weeks ago. They appreciate thu
fact that this section needs ,
double daily train service and tn,
time is near when they will gran
the joint request of these Western
towns if the request was unani
mously and judiciously made.

For a Better Opera House.

1t is with no i'll feeling toward
the San Angelo Turn Verein that
The Press has on several occasions
editorally advocated the building
of better opera house. The
Turn Nerein people say that it IS
no particular advantage to them
to have the opera house business
The Turn Nerein is IA social or
ganiZation and not one for the
purpose Of making money.
The Press believes now as it
has believed for u year that better
opera house facilities would mean
better attendances, though bet
ter crowds than the Spooners have
been having are not TO be desired.
A better opera house well heated
and well ventilated with II larger
stage and better stage accommo-
datlons would be n drawing card
for better companies, and better
companies would mean packed
houses at every performance,
San Angelo is the best town, in
every respect, according to its
size, in the state of Texas. San
Angelo accords good companies
good crowds on all average occa-
sions. Should arrangements he
made whereby San Angelo people
could see some OF the better sim
gle-night-stand shows, theatrical
enthusiasm would bring out good
crowds at every performance.
Then an opera house Investment
would be good one. Whoever
the person might be who would
provide the much wanted room
would be n public benefactor and
in the opinion of The Press II far.
seeing and level-headed business
man. Will some one try it?

Have Jackson and Mudd
Deserted !?

Have the Hons. William III. Jackson
Congressman from the First District
and Sidney E. Mudd, Congressman from
the Fifth District. deserted the national
ticket? Reports to the effect that they
have are in circulation throughout this
State, and particularly in the counties
of the Eastern Shore. These reports say
that the plan of campaign of both Con
gressmen is to instruct the colored vo-
tiers to make but ONE mark ON the ballot
that is, in the First District to mark
only the name of William III. jackson
and let the presidential nominees go to
the dogs; and in the Fifth District to
mark only the name of Sidney E. Mudd,
and let Roosevelt and Fairbanks, severe.
ly alone. This move is made necessary

where there is no republican" designa.
ton to guide the illiterate negroes, that
thousands of votes would be thrown out
should the negroes attempt to mark the
names of Roosevelt and Fairbanks and
then skip down to mark the nominees
for Congress. So believeing that the
negro Is only able to make ONE mark,
correctly, the whole time of the Repub-
lican educators will be given to instruct.
ing the negro to make ONE mark, and
that mork for the Congressman. The
Courier, which is the organ of Congress
man jackson. virtually confirms these
rumors of deal in the following editor
ial, printed last Saturday:
There are few illiterates that cannot
be instructed to make ONE mark correct
ly. no matter what the complications
are. 1t is the FIRST duty of Republicans
in this district to see that Congressman
Jackson is returned. This can be done if
the illiterate voter is properly taught to
mark Mr.. Jackson's name-COngress-
man Jackson's name. 1t can be done,
and will be done no matter how many
Jack sons are on the ticket"
This coming from the Courier. must
convince the observant man that the
game is to let the Republican national
ticket go by default and try to save the
Congressman. This game was played
to perfection in 1900 by Congressman
jackson. who atthat tlme, it was said.

'vote for Bryan if you want to, but
vote for me-

State is going far Parker and Davis and
that the Jackson Mudd combination
would not care if the vote fell off in the
State so long as their own vote held up,

Telephone Notice.

The telephone line from Snow Hill to
the corporate limits of Pocomoke City,
not owned by us but used by our SUBJ
scribers in sending and receiving mes
sages to and from Snow Hill, has been
at various times so far out of repair at
one or more places that our patrons
have been cut off from communication
with Snow Hill for several days in sue
cession. We have very much regretted
this. but the public can readily see that
we have been powerless to remedy it.
For the purpose of attempting to over
come this defect in Our service we have
placed telephone in the house of Mr..
Godfrey, just outside of the corporate
limits of snow Hill. near the depot. We
have connected this Telephone with our
lines to the various points in Worcester
and Somerset counties. 1t is our pur-
pose to use this telephone in case of
emergency. when for any reason Snow
Hill cannot be called up over the above
named lines. We regret that we have
to establish this pay station at point
so far from the business section of Snow
Hill, but it is the most convenient place
available under the circumstances. Our
hundreds of subscribers in these counties
are interested in having reliable tele.
phone service from the various points to
the County Seat of Worcester.
We believe that this emergency pay
station will be help in that direction.
The public are invited to use this pay
station at any time. and espe cially when
they have any difficulty in communica-
ing over other lines to any point in Son.
erset or Worcester County. where we
have wires
