DESIGNATE" on CREATE. !"

The court of criminal appeals Of
Texas, by vote of two to one, has
decided that commissioners court
has no authority to "designaten two
or more justice precincts as sub
division OF. a county for a prohiki-
tlon election. The court may order
an election in one justice precinct,
one commissioners precinct, one
school district, but it cannot order
a prohibition election for several
justice or commissioners precincts,
for, says the learned court, such
act is to create" rather than "de-
signate." The constitution and the
statute seems very plain to the ay-
erage layman, and truth to tell, no
lawyer has ever heretofore attacked
the right of the legislature under
the constitution to designate two or
more political subdivisions of a
county for local option elections of
any character, 1t requires three
and one-half columns Of the Dallas
News to set forth the opinion of the
court on this subject, and the fine
spun theories by which it arrives at
the conclusion that the designation
of several political subdivisions of
a county constitute creation" is
not clear to the practical mind. The
editor of this paper is not a lawyer.
More's the pity. He might then be
enabled to appreciate distinction
where no difference exists.
Judge NJ. NJ. Brooks dissents from
the majority opinion in the follow
ing short note:
/ dissent from the opinion of the
majority. 1t has neither parallel
nor precedent in the previous de-
cisions of this court or of any court.
1t is in the face of the constitution,
instead of construction of the
same. 1t violates the statute au-
thoriZing the election herein under
consideration. 1t is at variance
with the previous decisions OF this
court since the adoption of the
amendment to the constitution in
1891; 1t is at variance to the decis-
ion of the court of civil appeals at
Dallas, and is also at variance with
the decision Of the court Of civil APP
peals at Fort Worth.
q The opinion of the court may be
good law. We don't know But it
is not good common sense.

The EARLY DAYS RECALLED
Mai. Griffin Talks Of the Many
Changes In the City.

Maj. e. III. Griffin said to re-
porter yesterday that thirty-three
years ago Thursday he drove. into
the town of Waxahachie. Mr.. Grit
fin says the town was nothing more
than a mere hamlet at that time,
the only business houses being a
few frame structures around the
public square. Mr.. Griffin is ma
tive of Virginia, and when yet a
young man decided to take Horace
Greely's advice to go west and grow
up with the country. Mr.. Griffin
headed for Galveston and after a
short time in that city he decided to
try his In the interior OF the state.
At that time the Central reached no
farther north than Kosse, so to
that place he purchased a ticket.
Mr.. Griffin came from Kosse to
Waxahachie by private conveyance,
arriving here one cold, gloomy day
in January. Mr.. Griffin talked in
terestingly of the many changes
that had taken place in the city
since his arrival. He has lived
here, continually for thirty-three
years and he has seen the town
grow from a village to one of the
most uptodate little cities in central
Texas. In speaking of the early
settlers of the city Mr.. Griffin said
he had seen the heads of at least
fifty families quit the walks of men
and pass into that land where there
is happiness eternal for the sturdy
pioneer. Mr.. Griffin is one of
those men who are always looking
on the brighter side OF life. He
hasn't much use for pessimist.
He believes in progress, and while
in conversation with the reporter he
ventured the prediction that when
thirty-three years more had been
unwound from the wheels of time
Waxahachie would be city of
double the population of the present
day.

Judge Dunlap Talks.

Judge o. +. Dunlap of Waxahachie
was in the city yesterday. He says
that Waxahachie and Ellis county
have been prosperous this season as
the cotton crop was above the aver
age, was not materially injured by
the weevil or the worm, and the
prices were higher than in many
years before. Farmers have gath
cred large amount of the unopened
bolls and have marketed the cotton
after threshing, at q figure that
makes the enterprise well worth the
trouble. There is field here, he
thinks, wherein men with mechani-
cal ingenuity can well afford to ex-
ercise themselves, for the perfecting
of machine that will separate the
lint and the hull in a more satisfac-
tory manner than that now employ
ed will mean great deal to the pro-
ducers in this section.
Two thousand pounds Of the bolls
picked without discrimination, be
says, will produce a bale of 600
pounds of the lint. The same num-
Der of bolls fully matured would not
do much better. OF course the cot
ton is not of as good quality and
the difference in showing is due to
the absence of developed seed Dat

COUNTRY PRODUCE
The Farmers Are Rejoicing.

The farmers are bubbling over
with JOY because Of the splendid
rain which visited Ellis county this
week. From reports coming in IL
appears that the rain was general
over the county, each community
receiving good precipitation.
c. ID. Longserre, local weather oh
server, told the reporter this morn
ing that the fall in Waxahachie was
1871 inches.
Col. Jas. s. Davis said this morn.

Client for the present time, and that
everything was now in lovely shape.
Wheat has been greatly benefited by
the rain and when the ground dries
ii will be in excellent condition for
sowing spring oats.

About the Spo0ners.

The Spoouer Dramatic Company
is billed for weeks engagement at
the opera house starting Monday
night Jan. 18th. The Spooner Com
pany Is always in the van of roper
toire shows, setting the pace as it
were. Every performance is inter
ladsd with refined vaudeville by a
coterie of "top-liners." One of the
plays to be presented is CDR. Jekvll
and Mr.. Hyde" Mr.. Frank Dudley
portrays this wonderful dual role
and how good the Judgment of the
management of the Spooner Com
pany was in selecting him can be
readily CLEANED from the appended
comment Of the Dallas Tex. Times
Herald:
"Dr. Jekyu and Mr.. Hyde served
as a magnet to draw record break
ing crowd at the theater last night.
All seats were taken long before the
curtain went up ia the first act, and
when tickets were counted 1t was
stated that 2l97 had paid to see the
Spooner Company interpret this
strange and wierd play. The stage
equipments were adequate aud tai

BRYAN TO THE RESCUE.

This is the most terrible blow IN,
Democracy has received since the de
feat OF Horace Greeley in 1872, an,
is twenty two votes less than Brvar
received in 1900.
While the blow is severe the conn.
try will survive it, for the country
is greater than the President and all
the trusts behind him. The Demo
cracy will also survive, and rebucklc
on it, armor for another fight in 1908.
BY then the country may haven arm
ed to its sober senses, NAV have had
enough of Roosevelt and his social.
equality proclivitios, his blow and
buster.
The result will make Bryan. the
only man in the Democratic Party
with position following, the logical
candidate of the Party in 1908. and
with him to lead the Democracy. here
may yet be some hope left to defeat
the Republican Party. The Demo
cracy has no other man worthy of the
name of leader. Clarion. .edgnr.
