EXPLAINS THE
 SCHOOL ACT
Attorney General Answers the
 Questions of C.. B. Cook.

At the request of State Super intendent George B. Cook, At torney General Hal l.. Norwood gave a written opinion explaining the provisions of the act creating the office of county superintend- ent of schools. The questions asked by the State superintend- ent were as to how returns should be made on the vote for and against county superintend- ency in joint school districts; how the authority of supervision is to be adjusted in counties con taining joint school districts, and as to whether in counties con taining two judicial districts and two county examiners. one or two county superintendents should be elected.
 Nr. Norwood, in his opinion, states that it will be the duty of the judges who hold the election to make the returns to the County Court in the same manner as they are required to do in con- nection with the vote on other questions.
 Tn district divided by a county line," says Mr. Norwood, "the votes of the electors who reside in the respective counties would have to be counted sepa- rately upon this question. To illustrate: If a district is com posed of territory partly in Stone county and partly in Scar cy county, and 25 of the electors of that district reside in Stone county and 20 of these electors vote for county supervision, :" and five against it, this result would be certified to the County Court of Stone county, and the result of the votes of the electors residing in Searcy county would, in like manner, be separately certified to the County Court of that county.
 The law only gives the super intendent supervision in the county in which he is elected. Therefore superintendents could not have concurrent jurisdiction, nor could superintendent exer- else any supervision in any part of district outside of the limits of the county in which the su perintendent was elected.
 Counties having two judicial districts would not vote sepa- rately upon the proposition, but a majority of the vote of the whole county would govern, and the law provides for only one superintendent to the county"

Conditions in Scurry

Speaking of conditions in his
part Of the state. +. B. Barnes,
Snyder, Texas, who is stopping
in the city, said: The outlook
at present is much more favora-
BILE than it was even four or six
weeks ago. 1t is true that the
cotton crop is very short, but the
high prices, ranging around l5c.
are compensating the farmer for
the short yield. Farmers are
sowing more small grain than
usual, principally wheat and
oats. and should this crop fail II
will still leave them time and the
ground in good condition for
next years cotton crop. Our
people are surviving the panic of
l906-07 and the short crop of the
succeeding year admirably. In
fact. il takes something beyond
the ordinary to knock a West
Texan entirely out Of the ring. y

campaign for congress on the theory
that his election will be a discredit to
the progressive and insurgent move
ment in congress because of the fact
that the Seventh congressional dis
trict is the home of Senator A. b.
Cumnins.
Every effort is to be made to dis
credit Cummins and Dolliver and all
other insurgents and it was put up
to Hull that unless he came out flat
footed for Cannon and Cannonism he
would get no assistance from the big
financial interests in the east in his
candidacy, and that if he did come out
for Cannon he would get all sorts Of
help Among other things Cannon
himself came to the district. The mere
fact that Hull has announced his plat
form on the standpat Cannon lines Is
considered as Strengthening the stand
Fat forces in congress and he will be
held up as an example to other con-
gressmen who are wavering in their
support.
The conditions in the Seventh dis
trict are every day attracting more at
tention. Progressive republicans read
lily analyze the Hull intentions. Thus
1t. There are two men in the field
here against Hull, both of whom are
avowed progressives and both against
the Cannon rules and Cannonism. With
both in the field there is the feeling
that Hull will again be nominated and
elected. Neither shows any inclina-
ton of getting off and there is Some
little talk that both should get off and
give way for a new man. but just
the right man for the place has not
been suggested.
Both Prouty and Dowell have their
claims to the place. Prouty after hav-
ing practically won the position three
times thinks he should have a clear
field now when he would be practi-
cally certain to win. Dowell gays
Prouty has tried three times and
failed. now he should be given an OPP
portunity
Progressives are saying that Con-
gresham Hull must this time be de-
feated and it will be no surprise if
during the next few weeks some action
is taken from some source that will
simplify the situation here and result
in ore progressive candidate and a
sure defeat for Hull.
