what he accomplished at Manila

The Carnival This Year.

The Press desires 60 congratu-
late the Carnival Association on
their decision to add TO the already
attractive list Of events sport
which by It's novelty will excite
great interest. Reference Is made
to the cutting contest, 1t brings
out TEXTURES Of ranch life which
has never before been portrayed
at a public exhibition. And ranch
life, any feature of it, is attractive
to. the average Fastener or for
that matter to any one who Is not
familiar with Western modes Of
life. The Association has done
well in adding this attraction and
deserves the support Of the San
Angelo people.

Advertising the coneho Country.

Attention was called in our last
issue to the benefits accruing from
the extensive advertising done by
the Carnival management through
the medium OF the gentlemen
who were sent out to bid strangers
welcome TO San Angelo. The
Press knew then that this adver.
Using would be on an extensive
scale but had no idea that it
would be rs thoroughly done as it
has. Austin Spencer went TO
Galveston and Houston and other
Santa Fee points in South Texas
and everywhere he went he was
we'll received At Houston both
Of the daily papers "noticed" him
in write-ups of several sticks each
and the Galveston News gave him
u much longer notice Thus it is
that San Angelo grows The
business men are beginning to
realize the great advertising the
carnival is giving San Angelo.

DEMOCRATIC CENTRAL
COMMITTEE MEETING

The democratic county central COM
mittee met at the old dining room at
the Rock Island house at ? o'clock
this afternoon for the purpose of ar
ranging for the holding of the county
convention and primaries. Chairman
]. p. Sexton officiated as presiding Of
ficer and George p. Stauduhar was
present in his capacity as secretary.
There was a large attendance of com
mitteemen and a roll call of townships
showed that many holders of proxies
were also present.
There were two propositions before
the committee on the question of
holding Il convention. One was that
there be two conventions. the first to
simply elect delegates to the state and
congressional conventions and the
other later on for the purpose of NOM
mating n county ticket. The other
