Cameron NJ. Kay was born in Mis-
sissippi and came to Texas about the
year 1878. He located in Anderson
county in 1890. and began the practice
of law at Palestine in 1897. being for
a time law partner OF the late Judge
John Young GOoch. BY native ability
ard through industry Attorney Kay
advanced rapidly. until today he is
recognized as one Of the brightest
lawyers of the state. He is serving
his second term as county attorney,
and has made the county a splendid
and vigorous officer.
Cam Kay, as he is known by his
Palestine friends, Is one who is a
friend indeed to that man he calls
friend. That fact was fully attested
during the recent fight made on Sen
alor Bailey. He campaigned for
Bailey and talked for Bailey, and II It
rad been necessary he would have
fought for Bailey; though he is a
most peeceable and even-tempered
man. He was also in the midst of the
fight in the last campaign wherein
john R. Hearne was elected mayor Of
III city. and It was largely due to
sforts OF Attorney Kay that Mr..
m ~ :. - s-.ss'r ii5.se7;l b
ago he went to Oklahoma and cam
paigned for Hon. T. p Gore, nominee
for the United States senate from
that new state. II is said by those
who had the good fortune to hear him
that Kay made many of the best
speeches heard in that campaign.
Hon. W. r. Ely of Baird, Texas, was
elected vice president, and Hon.
Claude Hutchinson of Mt. Pleasant
secretary of the association.

ASSOCIATED PRESS MEN
ARE OUT ON A STRIKE
GENERAL MANAGER STONE OF
ASSOCIATED PRESS WANTED
MORE TIME TO CONFER
WITH DIRECTORS.
All The World is a Blank
Owing to the WaIk-out In the Big
Cities Of the United States.
Present Conflict Said to Be
the Greatest Strike In
All History.

Dallas, Texas, Aug. 1.-THE great
est strike in history is on. For the
last three days the telegraphers'
strike has been gaining strength.
Each night brought bulletins that OPP
orators have quit in cities that have
not been affected before. As these
additions to the host of striking OPP
orators were reported the pressure
was brought to bear on the Associat-
ed Press and leased wire operators to
join in the strike. These men stood
out against the storm for three days.
but the strike force was irresistible
and when General Manager Stone OF
the Associated Press asked for tIme
until Tuesday evening in which to
confer with the directors. the operat-
Ors started a poll Of membership to
see what was the desire of the men
interested. Before it was completed
the hour set for a favorable response
or a strike arrived. and the operators
began to leave their keys over the
whole length and breadth of the land.
In ten minutes every Associated
Press key from New York to San
Francisco and from Duluth to the
City of Mexico was deserted. The
outside world was lost to Dallas, and
Dallas knows nothing of what is GO
ing on elsewhere. The long lines of
wires with which the United States
are gridironed hang pulseless on the
poles and are as silent as the waking
stars above us. There might be an
other Martinique disaster. another
Baltimore fire, another San Francisco
earthquake, but these silent wires tell
no tidings to the waiting world.
Organized labor has called the most
gigantic demonstration OF its displeas-
-..TrsEetasEs-hicl- rs So ma D.,
Il has stricken with a blow that f5T
the time has blotted out the most
elaborate system OF communication
that the ingenuity Of man can sevise.
BY a stroke business and quick COM
munication has been paralyzed. From
the stock broker, whose success or
failure depends upon the click OF the
sounder, to the merchant who wants
to order a half dozen hams by ex-
press, there is no way to do It. The
newspapers. whose reputation for en-
terprise Is one of the best assets, are
helpless. The great system by which
they nightly reach the uttermost
parts of the world was so perfect in
its organization that It was certain
nothing Of public interest could hap
pen anywhere in the world without
being published in the morning pa
pers.
So it is with personal communion
lions. An anxious father, far from
whom they seek to learn of the con-
Gition of his father, sick with a dead
ly disease, but there is no way. So
complete is the ie-up that the strik-
ing operators themselves cannot learn
what Is being done in other cities. BY
calling out the Associated Press and
the leased wire men they maroon
themselves upon the public. There
will be little authentic news until the
deadly conflict between the compa-
mics and the operators is stopped.

SAN ANTONIO SILENT.
Not a Line Of Telegraph For the
Newspapers.

San Antonio, Texas. Aug. ~
There is no change today in the teleg-
raphers' strike. and the service is
badly crippled in San Antonio. Man
ager Herring and one woman operator
are doing what they can to handle the
Postal business, but little can be
done. as operators cannot be found
in other cities to handle the business.
Manager Newton of the Western
Union and his day and night chiefs
and one woman are at work there.
They are also handling some bust.
ness, but cannot nearly do all that Is
demanded of them. The strikers here
declare that they will remain firm
and will not go back to work until
every demand is granted by the COM
Dany. The afternoon papers are bad
ly crippled. neither of them receiving
a line Of telegraph.

OPERATORS MAY
 CALL A STRIKE
QUEEN AND CRESCENT MEN HAVE CALLED A MEETING TO TAKE UP GRIEVANCES AGAINST COMPANY.

Chattanooga, Tenn. September 15.-Spe- cial IA meeting of the members of Di- vision No. 62, Order of Railway Tele- graphers, Queen and Crescent route, has been called for September 21, in Chatta- nooga for the purpose of considering a grievance against the road. The operators claim that the Queen and Crescent has cut one of it's telegraph lines into a bus mess college at Lexington, in order to train young men in the business. By such training, the operators claim that the students can be employed by the railroad company, at much cheaper scale of wages than Is now in force.
 At the Chattanooga meeting it will be decided whether or not strike shall be declared Such strike would extend from Cincinnati to Meridian, and would affect over 200 railroad operators. Local operators declare that such d strike is sure to come. Officials of the railroad company are not discussing the matter.
