HALTS FIRE
INSURANCE TRUST

Austin, Texas.-In accordance with
a proclamation issued by Governor
i. H. Campbell, the legislature of
Texas convened in special session to-
day and vas called to order at two
O'Clock this afternoon. The specific
purpose of the session as named in
the call is to repeal the first insur-
ance rating board law and to enact
such other legislation as will prevent
a combination or trust Of fire insur-
Texas. Since the call for the session
was Issued the State Fire Rating
Board has given a decision to the eff
feet that the fire insurance rates are
unreasonably high and has ordered
sweeping reductions. The insurance
companies are preparing to make a
strong fight to prevent any general
reduction in the present rates. de-
spite the assertion Of the business in
terests of the state that the rates are
excessive beyond all reason.

WOMAN HOLDING UP
RAILROAD EXTENSION
SUCCESSFULLY CONTESTED
CLAIM OF MITCHELL MAN
FROM WHOM ROAD
BOUGHT RIGHT OF
WAY.

Dallas, S. D.-Grading contractors
at work on the Northwestern extern
sion west from Dallas we're today
served with notice of a temporary in
junction, issued at the instance Of
Miss Eleanor Sallee, a homesteader,
two miles southeast of Coiome. The
contractors are restrained from oper-
ating on Miss Sales farm pending
adjudication of her claim for right of
way damages.
There arises in this case a peculiar
question in the matter of a homestead
er's title. The tract of land from
which the grading contractors are
temporarily tabooed was taken up
under a filing by Otto Schneider, Of
Mitchell, who held No. 4 in the Trip
county land opening. Several months
ago he made right of way settlement
with the railroad company, receiving
the sum of 1866, although his entry
was at that time under contest by
Miss Sallee. Subsequently the con-
testant's rights were held to be good
and she was given a filing. She de-
MES the validity Of the settlement
made with the original entryman and
is promoting a personal claim for
$1,000.
Both federal and state laws make
provision for the legal acquisition Of
railroad right of way through home
stead lands. and the right Of a home
steader to make settlement of this
kind is unquestioned, unless adverse
rights are affected.

Changes in Law, May
Be Needed Before
Their Establishment.
NOT DEMANDED
Only Letters Are From Post
masters Wanting Infor-
nation of Them.

Washington, ID. C.-Little, if any,
progress is being made toward the
establishment of postal savings
banks. The three men on whom rests
the responsibility of working out a
system under the new law, the sec
rotary of the treasury, the postmast-
er-general and the attorney-general
have gone away from the capital for
the summer and there is small pros
pect of their getting together again
before the first of October.
In the meantime a committee of
under officials will devote the hot
weather months to a study of the
workings of postal savings banks sys-
TENS abroad. This committee of
clerks is not authorized to prepare a
working plan under the new law. Its
authority is limited to the gathering
of a lot of information for the trus-
tees.
May be Many Months.
The general impression about the
three departments that will have
something to say about the establish
ment of the new system is that it will
be six or seven months before the
first postal savings bank is opened.
A cursory examination of the enab-
ling act has almost convinced the
three cabinet officers who constitute
the board of trustees that there are
many lame places in the law which
will have to be amended by congress.
Under the circumstances there need
be no surprise if the establishment of
receiving points is delayed until after
the legislative body has had an oppor-
tunity to make changes in the law.
That there is no widespread de-
mand for the new system is indi-
Gated by the falling off in the num-
Der of inquiries that are coming to
the postoffice department.
The correspondence of the depart
ment is largely with postmasters who
have been sending in inquiries as to
what will be expected of them in
case their office are designated as re-
ceiving points. Broadly speaking the
public is not clamoring at all for the
opening of the new banks.
Bankers, taking time by the fore
lock, are still applying to the treas
ury department to be made deposit
tories under the new law.

the race for senate against my
judgment and purely to please the
new county advocates in Dillon
and to further their interest. At
a very considerable sacrifice of
time and money l made the very
best race l could. l thank my
friends for their support then and
for their wishes that l make the
race this time. In stepping down
and out of politics l can say that |
have used no questionable methods

l have decided to withdraw my
name as a candidate for State Sen
ate for three reasons:
1. My health is not very good
2. l am far too busy with my
business just now 10 take on new
duties and cares.
5. The county convention on
Feb. 21st, showed new county pol
itics of such deplorable quality
that 1 could not afford to enter the
race even if l wished the office.
Politically l feel free, calm and
serene. I stand pledged to no
one, nor to any clique of candi-
dates: as one of the large tax pay
ers of the county, l stand for the
best men presenting themselves
for Office and for economical gov
ernment. Dillon county is small
enough for every citizen in It to
KEEP posted as to the cost of each
Office and the quality of service
each officer gives.
feel it my duty and also the
duty of every other citizen in the
county to keep posted on county
politics and see to it that proper
publicity and efficiency in office
shall be exacted.
1t would be well to make no
pledges to candidates and to enter
into no agreement with any group
of candidates to elect set of Of
ficers. l request my friends to vote
against, and use their influence
to defeat any candidate known to
have entered into any ring or fac
ton sor the purpose of gaining
strength, such rings can only be
detrimental to best government
and now is the time to nip in the
bud such tendency.
Gratitude and loyalty to our
friends who have rendered us ser
vice in a time of need are quail
ties to be commended. If two
candidates should present them
selves for office, both having the
same qualifications, preference
should be given the one having
given most in time and money to-
wards the formation of the county
This preference given for vice
seems such a Self evident duty
that it would not seem to be ne
cessary to sugget it. Yet at the
county convention a few men who
were luke warm or absolutely in
different to the formation of the
county were the most enthusiastic
, politicians and almost succeeded
in shapeing the policy of the meet.

umns to thank those who have
placed my name before the Dem
oCracy of Dillon county for the
"'ilce of Superintendent of Educa-
ton. | wish to thank also those
who from time to time have

If my duties at home were less
pressing, | would be glad to make
the race; for the education, and
consequently the enlightment of
the rising generation is a subject
IL which / am deeply interested.
And there are certain reforms in
our public school system which
think can and ought to be brought
about. But my duties at home at
this time are well nigh imperative
as will readily appear from the
fact that l run eleven ploughs
and they principally with wage
hands. And to leave my farm,
under these circumstances, for

ShELTON-LOVtJOY WEDDING.

The following account of the
Shelton-Lovejoy wedding in Birm-
lngham will be read with interest
by many people in this section:
Beautiful in all its appointments
was the wedding this afternoon of
Miss Virginia Mcdonald and Mr..
Henry Dale Shelton, which was
celebrated at 2 o'clock at the home
OF the brides parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. G.. M. Lovejoy, at Glen Iris.
The entire lower floor was thrown
into one reception, room, where
quantities of palms, ferns and
white roses formed an attractive
setting.
Before the bay window was an
altar formed of stately palms with
4 solid background of Southern
smilax. The mantel was banked
in smilax with brides roses peep
ing out from beneath the fcathery
green.
The bride entered in strictly
tailored suit of whip cord and wore
a white picture hat topped with
French plumes. Her flowers were
brides roses and lilies of the val
ley and her only jewel an Iexquis-
ite diamond brooch, the gift of her
grandmother, Mrs. Berry.
