! the office of county treasurer hat
been abolished by our commissioners
court, and became interested enough
to make an investigation to ascertain
by what authority they had done so
| found that Section "A, Article 16, Of
the constitution of Texas is clear up
on the point that the qualified voters
of this county have the right to elect
a county treasurer, and that his com
pensation shall be provided for by
law, etc / found, further that the
depository law prescribes duties and
the law makes it the duty of the com.
missioners' court to provide for his
compensation, not to exceed one-half
per cent for receiving and the same
for disbursing county funds, and not
to exceed two thousand dollars per
annum. Therefore | at once came to
the conclusion that the commission
ers' court had made mistake-iE e1
ercising the authority given them
law, in practically annuling porto
of the constitution of our state, an
realizing that the financial affairs
the county would not be legally tran
acted without a county treasurer,
went to Judge Funderburk and state
to him the result of my investigation
and asked him how he proposed
get the county money into the r!
pository, and how he proposed to &c
it out without country treasure
whereupon he admitted that he would
have to have a county treasurer, Blu
that by leaving the order as it wa

would run for the office, except, pc

Many Candy Cooks Here.

Candy kitchen" is a term used with good reason,
for there candy cooks just there meat and
pastry cooks Fifty candy cooks employed in the
Omaha factories all the year round. In the big fac
tories they work with Thermometers but these in
struments get of order, the cooks still
their cooking by the touch and some old-fashioned
candy cooks still insist using their fingers to test
the grain" In cooking sugar for candy the grain
must be destroyed and that's why beet cannot
be successfully employed The grain comes back. and
granulation is the result. Cane sugar gives the
smoothness and body necessary to make high class
candy.
In candy factory using modern methods the
-four seasons are kept eternay In mind by the
candy cooks They must vary the work in handling
their materials by the in order TO get the de-
sired results. No candy is made to keep any definite
length Of time but weather and surroundings affect
it quite materially. Good chocolate candy win keep

some retailers thought wouldn't go! Yet we sold
