tlonal prohibition amendment for
that date and for the first time Texas
will face the long threatening issue

prohibitionists and the ants are on.
Both sides have been organizing and
preparing extensively for the cam
paign and its launching precipitated

the amendment over the state. Head
quarters for both the antis and the
prohibitionists are installed in Hous-
ton. while subheadquarters are locat-

suit In the recent Democratic pri-
mary, in which O. B. Colquitt, rail-
road commissioner, was nominated
for Governor. the result was attend-
ed with a peculiar feature. Govel
nor Colquitt ran on the anti ticket,
while the prohibition ticket was head
ed by two prohibitionists. AS a Sc
auel the prohibition vote was divided
and Governor Colquitt was given
large majority. But although the
anti prohibition candidate was nami-
mated, which in Democratic Texas is
equivalent to election, an overwhelm-

Grains, grasses, fruits, and other
farm products will make up the dis
drict displays. Persons contributing
to the district display are not pre-
cluded from making individual ex-

The residents Of this city were
awakened early Saturday morning
by the ringing of the alarm and
wild shouts Of "Fire!" Soon throngs
of people from all sections of the city
were scurrying, in all manner of ir-
formal evening attire, to the scene of
the confiagration, corner of Third
avenue and north Oak street.
The fire originated in the new ad-
dition to the plant, and rapidly
spread to the older structure to which
1t is joined. The place was absolutely
devoid Of shavings and other refuse
in which fire ordinarily makes
great headway, but the material of
which the buildings were constructed
was we'll seasoned and perfectly dry,
and soon the entire plant was belch-
ing flames and smoke. The ma
chinery in the plant was propbably
rendered totally unfit for further use,
and the buildings were burned to the
ground.
Sparks of fire were carried to the
roof and sides Of the Hughes property,
on the next lot, and that building
was shortly .enveloped in smoke and
flame. The quick work Of the Col
vile volunteer fire department saved
the latter structure from destruction,
and all the household goods belong
ing to Mr.. Buchanan were saved, ex-
cept few articles which the close
proximity of the flames made impos-
sible to reach. These latter articles
were on the second floor, near the
roof, which was q mass of fire before
aid could be obtained The loss to
Mr.. Matthews amounts to $2,750,
$1,000 of which will be restored to
him through the insurance which he
carried. Mr.. Hughes damages total
about $3.50. The loss sustained by
Mr.. Buchanan by damages to his per-
sonal property will amount approx
mately to 500.
The flames leaped to the roof of
Mrs. Lynch's boarding house, but
were Immediately discovered and ex-
tinguished by stream of water.
A full stream of water was turned
on both buildings from two nozzles.
A third hose was placed in position,
but 1t was too late to attempt to save
them, with any hope of success, and
this hose was merely placed in readi-
ness to be used should the fire show
Indications of spreading further. Af-
ter the fire, an examination of the
register at the fire station showed
pressure Of 1876 pounds.
49, The larger section of the plant was
completed only ten days since, but
the smaller One-story part has been
in use az carpenter hop for several
years. The newer portion was erect
ed to house the Offices and factory Of
a stock corporation which was to have
organized and incorporated next
week. Mr.. Matthews intends t. re-
main here, and the company will
probably erect another plant, and
pursue their pla.is
A shipment of machinery for the
factory is even now on the way, and
enough more will be ordered to re-
place that which was destroyed
Mr.. Buchanan has rented the resi-
dence at 172 Wynne street, and
moved into it today.
What is referred to in this article
as the Hughes property is in reality
the property of w. L. Sax. The title
has never passed from him.
R. A. Thayer wrote the policy for
$500 on the Matthews property.
J. H. Young & Company wrote the
policy for $3.50 on the Sax property.

Of her testimony was ,he contradiction OF
Miss Conrad's declaration That the de-
iendaut had net Stokes a the Hotel
AnsonJa on the morning Of May 70. Mrs
Stokes said her husband and herself were
away that morning.
Ethel Conrad's story OF the shooting
OF Stokes remained unshalsen in any ma

swore that Stokes shot twice without
effect and that she and Miss Graham
fired in self-detense and wounded stokes
IN the legs.
