Of San Antonio business men has clos.
ed contract for the purchase Of a

John Young, land agent Of Ozona,
the former owner being M. D. Morgan
Of Maria.
Preliminary arrangements will be
made for the development of the prop

tigation of methods of quarrying in

line to the mountain.
Marble experts anil biologists who
have examined the samples of stone
taken from the mountain pronounce II
the most wonderful in the world They
say that 1t is absolutely unique. No
less than eight different cOlors are in
the mountain, and all in practically un-
limited quantities. The most remark

black and a marble that is notified
In delicate shades of green, ranging
from very dark to very light.

Is said that this is the only pure white

Another specimen Is delicate gray,
shading between light and dark. Still
another is dark gray and white
The marble is of very fine texture,

Austin, Aug 22-Lieutenant Govern

the case of the Galveston, Harrisburg
and San Antonio railway against the
railroad commission for a writ of in

from putting into effect an order re-
curing the plaintiff company to OPP
crate daily passenger service from
Houston to San Antonio by way of Vic
tOria. The lieutenant governor is ma
terially interested in the result of this
case, as to operate daily service would
greatly benefit his county Judge
Brooks, a short time ago. granted q
temporary injunction restraining thu
commission from putting the order int
effect, and the railroad commission
will move to dissolve this injunction.
Lieutenant Governor Davidson, in
answer to question. declared that
he was not giving any thought at pres
ent to political matters, as he was de-
voting his time to the practice of law,
but of course he will be a candidate
for reelection to the position which he
no occupies when the election rolls

matte tax board, created by an act
Of the Thirtieth legislature, and com
posed of the governor. comptroller and
secretary of state. met and fixed the
id valorem tax rate at IL IL cents
per 800 valuation. This rate Is q
great reduction from that of last year.
Which was 90 cents per 800. The
IL 1-2 cents rate was based on the total
assessed valuation of the state. which
was found to be 81 ,707.615.45S. This
is an increase Of 1886, $50 over the
1906 assessment, and includes $172,OOO,-
600 intangible assets. The reduction
In tax redeems the governors promise,
and it is estimated that the people will
pay less taxes. notwithstanding the
great increase in taxable valuation.
At a meeting of the state board OF
education it declared an apportion-
ment of IS per capita Of state available
school funds for the next scholastic
year The total apportionment amounts

CUT BONO.

Plaquemine Protector: 1t is rather
amusing for Mr.. Sanders to hint that
the late St. Mary gathering was COM
posed Of Republicans. If so, St. Mary
is the only parish in the State that can
boast OF large Republican gathering.
How is this, Mr.. Sanders? We
thought all the parishes of the State
were Democratic.
1t is funny too to hear such bleat
from candidate whose chief journals
tic editor hacker, Mr.. James E. Ed
Monds, openly boasted of his Republi-
canism in the past few years; who pub
lished over his own signature, James
E. Edmonds, New Orleans" letter in
the New York Sun OF August 20, 1904,
advising how Louisiana could be made
Republican. We say it is amusing to
have Republican like this advising as
editor in two daily papers CThe Baton
Rouge State and the Shreveport Times)
who the people should vote for for Gov
crnor in Democratic primary. We sub
nit that Messrs. T. S. Wilkinson and
R. N. Simms, his chairman, are and have
been stalwart Democrats all their lives
without variableness or shadow of turn
ing.
Notwithstanding this, Mr.. Sanders
has repeatedly attacked our parish and
some Of its people for their former Re-
publicanism. 1t is not fair issue in a
Democratic primary. and what we have
said on the subject was only in defense
Of these attacks. We prefer to assume
the sincerity Of the Democracy Of Mr..
Sanders friends, and would like to have
accorded to our side the same good and
kindly feeling.

WATTERS0N ON BRYAN.
Says Whole Force of Republican
Diplomatic Machinery Is
USED TO DISTINGUISH HIM
Warrington Correspondent States That
No Person Writes More Charmipgly
Than Kentucky Editors but 10 or on
Political Judgment.

Buffalo, Aug. 22-When Hon. Henry
Watterson, editor of the Louisville Cou.
rier-Journal says Washington CORE
spondent to the Times. has nothing
else to write about he finds some new
groun on which to attack Hon. w. J.
Bryan.
In an editorial he asserts that the
whole force OF the Republican diplo-
matte machinery was put forth to sig
nalize and distinguish him. Upon two
occasions orders went out from the
state department to our foreign enibas-
sizes and legations to exploit him to
uttermost and as an eminent Ameri
can, the only purpose being to keep
one and only Democrat of a world wide
fame
The charge made by Mr.. Watterson
that the whole diplomatic service of
the United States has been used by the
Roosevelt administration to accom-
plish certain partisan end surely
deserves some consideration. One
might think that Mr.. Bryan, travelling
abroad as a distinguished private cit
izen. deserved any courtesy that our
foreign representatives could show
him. Indeed, 1t seems probable that
without the aid and assistance OF those
representatives he would have been
able to make the acquaintance an
to see the things that he desired. But
as to his weakness as candidate it Is
fair to recall to Mr.. WattersOn the
fact that in 1900 Mr. Bryan. whom he
practically opposed, received 6.358.13'
votes. whereas, in 1904 Judge Parker,
whom Mr.. Watterson supported admi-
rably with voice and pen, received s.
O77971. No one writes more charm
ingly than Mr.. Watterson. The polit
zeal judgmen Of no one Is more to be
doubted
