What It Taucht Her.

To top off an expensive education 8 young married woman of no particular ability in any one line took course at a dramatic school. She never attempt ed to secure an engagement, so one day a close and candid friend of her husband asked what good all that training had done, anyhow.
 ''So far as can see," the friend said, ''that $500 you spent on Ethel's education has been practically thrown away"
 ''Oh. no, it hasn't" returned the hus. band mildly. ''Oh. no. 1t hasn't. Her stage experience has taught her to dress in hurry. Nowadays when ask her to go to any place with me she can change her clothes in ten minutes. It used, to take over an hour."-- New York Sun.

MAGISTRATE HOLDS OFFICE.
JUDGE WATTS DISMISSES PETIT.
ION FOR RULE TO SHOW
CAUSE.
Whether He Will Seek to Have Title
to Office Tested I'm Courts Re-
mains to be Seen.

Greenwood. April 21.--Judge Watts
here thi safternoon declined to issue
an order requiring Magistrate Kerr to
turn over to j. w. Garfield. Gov.
Blease's appointee the books and pa
pers belonging TO the office Of magis-
trate at Greenwood. Judge Watts
held that the title to the office was
involved and that he could not try
the title In a proceeding Of the kind
brought by the attorneys for Mr.. Can
field. The rule heretofore issued by
Judge Watts In this case was heard
on the petition and affidavit Of Mr..
Garfield attached and on the return
Of Mr.. Kerr and affidavit Of Senator
c. A. c. Waller attached. The petit
ton. among other things. alleged that
the appointment Of Mr.. Canield was
a recess appointment and demanded
possession of the books and papers Of
the magistrates office.
1t was contended by the attorneys
for Mr.. Garfield that on the authority
Of the case Of whipple and the Seibles
case they were entitled to a rule re-
quiring Mr.. Kerr to turn over the
books and papers Of the office. The
attorneys for Mr.. Kerr contended
that the doctrine of those cases ap-
piled only whers there was a prima
faice title to office shown by the rec
ord and that in this case such did not
appear. but on the contrary the title
to the Office was In issue and the
court could not try the question of
title to the Office on a rule to show
cause. They relied on the case of
Bullock vs.. Mcmillan and other cases.
Judge Watts held that in order to
grant the rule he would necessarily be
required under the allegations of the
return to try the title to the office,
which question he could not 60 into
in a proceeding Of this kind. and pass
ed an order to this effect. without
prejudice Of the right Of either party
to bring such a proceeding as they
office.
The next move belongs to Mr.. Cam
held now, and 1t remains to be seen
what this will be.

WHY HOGAN WAS PAROLED.
statement OF Reasons Actuating Gov
Biease I'm Exercising Clemency.

Columbia, Aprh 2l.-Eugene Ho-
gan, Jr., a. young man. who formerly
lived in Sumter. but VINO for the last
few years has roamed beyond the
States border. probably In Texas,
owes his parole. granted today by
Governor Blease. largely to a letter,
the nature Of which appeared to the
Governor to be an effort to backmail.
Hogan was convicted in the spring OF
1905. Of assault and battery with in
tent to kill. and was sentenced to
five years imprisonment. He left
Sumter aid has remained away. He
assaulted ID. G.. Ziegler, an architect,
who formerly had offices here and
who has also engaged In that business
In Atlanta.
The letter was written by Ziegler to
Eugene Hogan. ST., the father Of the
young man paroled. and bore the date
OF April s, 1908. IF you wish to al
just the matter" opened the negot,a-
tions In the letter as to the projected
pardon Of young Hogan; and then the
letter went on to say that $4OO should
be paid in cash; $4OO in one year
from date Of pardon and $500 In two
years from date Of pardon; that notes
might be arranged and the NOES were
to be turned over to Ziegler as soon
as the Governor announced the par
don' and In case the pardon was re-
fused. the notes were to be returned.
The proposition was for Zeigler to
intercede for clemency on these
terms.
IF not arranged in thirty days from
date" wrote Zeigler. II will take the
matter up with the Governor and
have your boy brought in and placed
in prison to stand sentence"
This is not bluff" the letter con-
cluded: IL am fully aware OF the
boys whereabouts. / would advise
you to get this matter settled, because
II once take the matter up with the
Governor then it will be impossible
for you to get a pardon for him."
The jury In the case recommended
clemency. The Governor states also
that he Is Informed that the young
man had borne a good reputation be-
fore this occurrence. In the petition
1t was stated ,ilat Hogan has a young
wife and chilo.
Governor Blease. after reading the
Hiogler letter and inquiring about the
case. decided to parole Hogan during
good behavior and accordingly issued
the papers today.

EVERY FIRM ENTERS INTO THE ORGANIZATION
The Object of Which Protect Rea Estate Interests and
to Stimulate Greater Activity in Their
Line of Work

Tuesday night the members OF
the local real estate firms met in
the real estate Office of Robinson
Brothers, and with the assistance
of DR.. H. r. LeMay, of Houston,
organized what will hereafter be
known as the Lubbock ReaI
Estate Exchange, which will be
a branch and part Of the Texas
State Realty Association, and
subject to the rules and regu-
lations Of the State Association.
Officers for the local exchange
were elected. c. f. Parks, of
the Parks Land Company. was
chosen as President, and Jno. +.
Robinson. of the Robinson Land
Company, as Secretary.
The object of this Association
will be more fully understood by
the following extracts from the
Constitution which reads;
To advance the interests of the
city of Lubbock, by promoting
desirable immigration, public
improvements, equitable, and
Just assessment and taxation,
and the proper enforcement OF
ordinances and laws designed
for the protection, convenience
and welfare of the public.
To secure by cooperation a
more uniform system Of laying
out residence districts, and the
establishment and maintenance
of parks and ornimental grounds.
to devise, advocate and support
all measures calculated to i'm
prove the city and the character
of the public Improvements
therein.
To secure a closer union and
more cordial cooperation among
the real estate brokers and deal
ars and to procure and furnish
information relating to the COM
mon welfare. and interests i'm
parted 10 their keeping.
To promote just and honest

methods of conducting business
and discourage secret and i'm
proper dealings, also to do such
things and promote such meas
ures as are calculated to elevate
the character, dignity and repute
of real estate brokers and deal
ers in their business.
To stimulate greater activity
in real estate by joint effort in
effecting sales of exclusive listed
property rather than by scat
tered individual work.
To discourage and prevent an

commission with persons not in
the business and do have no
real claims upon him for a share
of his living.
We believe that this organlza-
ton will be of great interest
to the general public as well as
the real estate men as it will be
the means of a greater coop

will be better for the town as it

real estate association lending
their assistance in selling the

More people will feel like buy

be benefited and each individual
will receive his part of the ben
ehts.
The Avalanche has often sdg-
gested such an organization and
we are pleased to report the per-
lection of such, and we wish
them the greatest of success.
