TWO KINDS OF NIGHT SCHOOLS.

The season OF the night schools has
come. There are several Of them In
Burlington. Some are within four
walls and will be pntronized by young
people who really desire to amount to
something; who have self-respect and
ambition to succeed. The other schools
are on the streets, or In places Of ques-
tibnahle resort They are frequsnted
by shortsighted youth who think they
can fritter away the golden opportun-
ties Of their time OF life and still make
life success; or by the careless, the

them in the First; change Marion and
Warren from the Seventh to the Sixth

interfere with any Of the congress-

THE WAY MONEY ACCUMULATES.
[Cherokee Democrat
Just to show how fast money can be
saved up by laying away small sums
I want to repeat statement l heard
Cherokee business man make the
other day. He was telling how he got
a part of the money to buy a piece OF
property and said that when he start
ed into business he gave his VIE 20
cents a day and had never missed a
day. OF course that isn't all his wife
got, but this much she got for her saw
ings bank. When few dollars had
accumulated 1t was put at interest and
each year the interest was added to
the original. When the property was
bought nearly a year ago she had over
$4,000 to put into 1T. The man could
have given her twice as much each DAY
and never have missed it.

The statement that sixty-nine per
cent of the male inmates of western
prison claim to have been impelled by
the extravaganza of their wives to the

that the message is addressed to a

appalling. It may be feared in conss-

suggestions lightly"

clares that a judge who imposes a

San Angelo, Tex May 16. 1904.
Editor Press: i desire to cor
rect misleading statement which
appeared in your last issue to the
effect that the republicans of
Tom Green county have asked
from the Democratic County Ex-
ecutive committee the privilege of
voting in the democratic primary
for the selection of county officers.
In a communication addressed
to the Hon NJ B. Pulliam. chair
man of the democratic county
executive committee, the sugges-
ton was made that, there being
no republican candidates, the
names of all the democratic CAN
didates now announced for coun-
ty offices be placed on the regular
election tickets in order TO give
the republicans an opportunity
TO vote for the candidates of their
choice. But no request was made
to be allowed to participate in the
primary, nor was such an action
thought of. In fact the sugges-
tion made to me by good demo-
crat that the republicans petition
the Democratic Executive Com
mittee to order a white mans
primary" wherein the white re-
publican voters could participate
was firmly disapproved on the
grounds of inconsistency, the re.
publican party holding that if
man, irrespective of color, pays
taxes, he is entitled to represent
tation provided he meets all the
requirements of the law.
| ask the publication of this
communication because the false
impression unfortunately created
i'll the public mind by your mis-
take was intensified through the
action of the Standard which
published, in It's issue of the Nth
instant, remodeled account
based on your erroneous report,
thus giving an excellent lllustra-
ton of the aphorism that "fools
rush in where angels fear to
tread"
In justice to Hon. George Rich
ardson, chairman of the republ!-
can committee, ! also ask that
the following copy of the self eX-
planatory letter addressed to Hon.
NJ b. Pulliam, chairman of the
democratic committee be pub
lished.

Hon. NJ. b. Pulliam, Chairman
Democratic Executive Com
mittee of Tom Green County,
San Angelo, Texas.
Dear SIr:-For obvious reasons
the republicans of Tom Green
county will have no candidates
for county offices at the coming
election. There need, therefore,
be no hesitancy in asking, on be-
half of the republicans of this
county, that your committee take
such action as may be deemed not
incompatible with the rules of
your political organization whereby
the qualified republican voters
may be given voice in the cleo
ton of democratic candidates for
county offices who may be best
acceptable to the greatest number.
There can be no question that
the unhampered choice of county
officials by all qualified voters
would promote public welfare.
May it. not then be possible for
the democratic party to dispense
with the primary election of can
didates for county offices and per-
NIT the names of all now an
nounced to appear on the election
tickets? This would give every
voter an opportunity to select his
candidates, and would certainly
result Ill the election of those best
suited according to public mind.
The enactment and strict obser-
vance of the Terrell election laws
preclude the possibility of sub
terfuge by any candidate.
Believing that the election of
the best men can but please the
democrats as it certainly would
the republicans of Tom Green
county, | am,
Very truly yours,
GEO. RICHARDSON,
Chairman Rep. Elk. Com. Tom
Green Co., Texas.
By +. BLANCHARD, Secretary.
The suggestion is plain and
fully worded in this letter that
the democrats ''dispense with the
primary election of candidates for
county Offices" but nowhere can
there be found therein the slight
est intimation of a desire to par
ticipate in the democratic pri-
mary. Yours very truly,
+. BLANCHARD.

 John Collins and James Ward, pam handlers of a pronounced type, have been pushing people off the sidewalks evenings for the past week or two. Collins said he came from Beacon Falls and Ward claimed to hail from Hartford. The latter was sentenced to jail for sixty days and his friend was fined $5 and costs.
 James McNamara was arrested by Officer Donahue yesterday morning, as he was too intoxicated to take care of himself. He bit the officers finger and made lot of trouble for him. He was fined $7 and costs and put on proba- t1On for sixty days. m

LOOK UP TOUR TAX LISTS.
Board of Eqaalizasion will lfaks
 Things AgreeabIe for Yen.

People who pay taxes and want to get the rating made by the assessors lowered, or have in mind asking the board of relief to abate the amounts assessed against them, should bear in mind that the board of equalization. will be in session at the assessors of. ice, room 6, City hall. commencing to- day and continuing during balance or the present month. for the purpose Of hearing parties who wish to be heard on such matters. The office hours will be as follows: to 12 in the forenoon; to in the afternoon and to in the evening. The statutes provide that the tax lists shall be lodged in the town clerks office or assessors office on or before the first day of December. for public inspection, and that no ap- peal to the board of relief shall be made by any person claiming to be az gf1eyed by the doings of the board Of assessors unless said person shall first appear before the board of equalization in the manner hereinbefore set forth or shall, in person or in writing, give notice to said board of equalization of his intention to make such appeal This ought to be plain enough for ev- erybody. If you fail to appear before the board of equalization in some way
 
 Dy the board of relief, so that even though one might be entitled to an abatement he forfeits his right to it provided he neglects to make known his grievance to the board of equaliza- ton during the month of December The lists can now be seen in the as- sessors' office and everybody whose name is on them should drop in and see whether he is satisfied or not with what the assessors consider his ratable property worth If he thinks the amount too high, but cannot win the board of equalization to his notion of values, he will still be in position to try his luck with the board of relief, but if he neglects to have round with the equalization board he is down and out, right or wrong. Go in and see them They are the same charming gentlemen whom you met when you listed your property at the assessors office
