Lexington IN Front

Travelling men and others, who have
unexcelled opportunities of observa-
tion, unhesitatingly assert that the
building boom" is on at Lexington
at present to much greater extent
than in any other city or town in the
state. Lexington has been growing
SO steadily within the last half decade,
that new houses have ceased to attract
notice or elicit passing comment. Not
only are the Lexington contractors and
builders kept continually employed,
but workmen from other towns are
finding work here at the current lu-
cratiye wages.

1t. Baker Doing
Nicely, Last Report

The many friends of Capt r. Fl.
Baker will be grieved to learn that, as
a result of rheumatic trouble, it was
found necessary to have his right arm
amputated, which was done by DR.. e.
J. johnson last Saturday. Capt. Ba-
ker has been suffering from rheuma
tism for some time and a short time
ago went to Hot Springs and took a
course of warm baths, which afforded
him some temporary relief, but as the
disease had penetrated the bone moth
ing but an amputation could afford
permanent relief from the incessant
and torturing pain.

Attorney Pepper and Others Renew
Lexington's Uptown Depot Proposition

A. M. Pepper, Lexington attorney,
partner of Gov. Noel, writes the Rail
road Commission urging that some ac-
tion be taken to require the Yazoo and
Mississippi Valley Railroad to build
the new depot that was ordered there
several months since by the Commits
sion. He states that he and other citi.
zens have importuned the company to

company had made the survey and
has promised, picked out the site, and
has promised time and again to build,
but as yet there are no physical evil
dences that they are to get depot at
any time. He demands that the com

MEETING.

The postmasters of Ellis county
held an interesting and profitable
meeting at the Woodmen hall in
Waxahachie Wednesday morning
The gathering of these agents of Tn
Gle Sam was an informal affair, and
was arranged principally to give the
postmasters of the county an oppor-
tunity to meet and exchange ideas
relative to the handling of second.
third and fourth class mail matter.
The rules and regulations of the
postoffice department concerning
the dispatch and delivery of first
class mail are explicit enough to ad-
NIT of no misconstruction by post
masters, but the rules governing
other matter are too ambiguous for
clear Interpretation, IN order that
they might better equip themselves
II following out Instructions of the
q rtment the postmasters confined
theii discussion to the these three
last classes of mail
The following postmasters We're
in attendance upon the meeting:

new COMMITTEE NAMED


Columbus, O., March 4-The re-
publicans of Ohio, who met at A
O'Clock yesterday to hold a state con-
yention, dealt a staggering blow to
the interests of Senators Foraker

central committee every man who
was known to have any bias in their
favor
OF the twenty-one members of the
new comrittee, eleven We're re-elect-
ed and of the changes made. seven
were Foraker men and all the For
aker men on the committee with the
othe three who were not reelected

ment was caused by local conditions
alone Every member of the new
committee is a Taft man
Walter F. Brown of Toledo, was
reelected chairman and Malcolm
Karshner of Columbus, secretary.
The pictures of Senator's Foraker
and Dick We're hung in the conyen-
ton hall and the platform has in it
a plank commencing the republican
members in congress without, how
ever, mentioning any of them by
name. At the same time another
plank is in the platform strongly
indorsing the passage OF the railway
rate bill against which Senator For
'aker fought vigorously on the floor
of the senate
The fight for the minor places on
the ticket continued hot all day and
there will be sharp contests on the
floor of the convention for iietiten-
ant governor, auditor, treasurer and
attorney general, For the head of
the ticket, Governor A s. Harris
will be renominated by acclamation.
There will be no contest for the del
egates at large to the national con
yention and Governor Harris, A. l.

TURRETS NOT A MENACE
Take Sharp Issue With
Commander Sims Regarding
manship-Gunnery
Not ExcelIed.

Washington, March -Four nav
al officers, all experts in turret con-
struction and ammunition manufac-
ture, yesterday testified before tne
senate naval committee in defense
of the American navy against for
eign naval systems Three witness
es, Prof. P. R. Alger, instructor in
mathematics at the naval academy,
and a member of the special board
on turrets; Commander F. F. Fletch-
er, and Lieutenant Commander v
0. Chase, spoke in detail concern
ing turret accidents and the methods
that have been adopted to make tur-
rets safe. None of these officers
seemed to think there was great
danger from the direct hoist if some
changes were made to provide more
effective screening between the am
munition handling room and the big
guns.
Prof. Alger defended the Ameri-
can navy as to the criticism made
by Commander Sims that poor mark
manship was shown at Santiago He
declared that the American gunnery
was as good as that of any navy at
the present time, and there was no
navy in the world that would sur
pass the American for straight
shooting
