Great interest is being taken in ths
temperance measure introduced in the
legislature for the relief of the rural
saloon nuisance which has afflicted this
county for many years. Unfortunately
the members of the Legislature cannot
agree on a suitable measure. The bill
introduced by Senator Hammer seems ID
be the most popular and has the approval
of the best citizens.
His bill provides that whisky shall not
be sold in incorporated towns of less than
one thousand population. The committee
on temperance ordered a favorable re-
port, and the bill passed the senate with
out opposition. 1t is said that the two
members of the lower house Messrs. Lee
and Smith, do not favor Mr.. Hammer
bill and will oppose it, but on what
grounds is not known.

the STATE PRIMARIES.

The Democratic State executive
committee met in Jackson Thursday
and fixed August | and % for the
first and second primaries respect
fully, the following resolutions being
adopted:
Resolved that the primary cleo
ton for the selection Of the nominees
of the democratic party to be held
on the first day Of August, 1907, and
the second primary be held on
Thursday, the 22nd day Of August,
1907.
"Rcsoi we'd, that in addition to the
qualifications prescribed by law for
the voters in said primaries, all vot-
ers therein shall be white democrats.
Resolved, That all candidates for
state offices are hereby requested to
furnish the secretary of the state
executive committee with their
names, on or before the 18th day of
July, 1907.
Resolved, further, That candi-
dates for state offices are advised to
furnish their names TO the county
executive committees on or before
the date above named"
The committee will meet again in
Jackson on July Is, at which time,
the candidates for State offices, with
out opposition, will be declared the
party nominees.
There is a movement on foot in a
few OF the counties, notably in
Adams and Washington, to hold the
county primaries at dates prior to
those fixed for State offices, based
on the suggestion that votes for local
candidates are traded for votes for
State candidates, but we do not be-
lieve that there is enough of this
kind of swapping to justify the
bother and expense of another cleo
ton. The motive back of the sug-
gestion, we rather suspect, is the de-
sire OF local candidates to get busy
for their favorites on the State tick
ct, which they are deferred flom do
ing under present conditions

A CANDID EXPRESSION.

Because the Austin Statesman is a
Bailey paper has not made it blind to
the truth, and that paper makes the
following manly criticism of the jul
nior senator's speeches. 1t is worth
reproducing, and right in the point
made by the Statesman lies one of
the great injuries Senator Bailey has
worked for himself The Statesman
says:
1T is but just and Truthful to say
that Senator Bailey is largely to
blame for this state of affairs. He
has pursued and denounced his enc.
mics in a manner and with vengeance
that was wholly unworthy a states.

fled position as his countrymen
have called him to fill He forgot
that he was the chosen representative
OF the state OF Texas and,sll its PEG
pie in the senate of the United States,
and clearly repudiated and scornfully
defied those who had exercised their
inherit right to oppose him and to
criticise his course. He felt that he
had been wronged and grievously
slandered and maltreated, and lost his
temper and head and said things that
a man occupying his exalted position
should never say of other men. There
was never any excuse for his talk of
consigning those who had seen proper
to oppose him to a 'rogue's gallery,
for some honest and worthy men had
opposed him. We did not think and
do not think they should have opposed
him, but the fact that they did so did
not make them the fit subjects for a
'rogue's gallery Not at all. That
