not believe a judicious one for the
County, and believing that said
sum Of money was too small an
amount for said land, we respect
fully recommend that our Com

as it is possible for them to recov-
er said land and rescind said con
tract and that in case any or all
Of said court and Judge feel that
they cannot conscientiously take
such steps then that they resign
and have other parties elected
who can do 50, we further recon-
mend that the chair appoint a
committee of ten to make such in
vestigation as they think proper
to see what can be done to recov-
er said land.

PEOPLE JOIN IN PRO
TEST AGAINST SALE
Great Crowd Discuss Sale of
School and.-Strong SEN
timent Against Action
of the Court.

AT least thousand men assem-
bled in the District Court room
at one o clock today in mass meet
ing to discuss the recent action of
the Commissioner Court in the
sale of Scurry County's four lea
CUES of school land.
This body Of land was recent
ly sold to parties here in Snyder
for $4,000 or about, it is stated
$3.50 an acre. II is alleged by
citizens that before the papers
were signed, an offer Of 800 an
acre was made, but members Of
the court say the trade had az
ready been made when that Of
fer was made.
The matter is one of great inter
est to the people and citizens are
here from every section of the
county to join in protesting a
gainst suffering the county to
lose the difference in these valua-
tions.
The house was called to order
by M. Il. Rosser, who stated the
purpose of the gathering.
A. c. Wilmeth was elected chair
man and G. c. Cowling, Secretary
of the meeting.
On motion of II. p. Wellborn,
the chair appointed a committee
on resolutions, consisting of III. p.
Wellborn, Stone Garden, j. d.
Boone, John Y. Bowen and A. l..
Sloan.
While the Committee were out,
Judge Buchanan was called for
and told some of the history of
this land.
He cited where Kent and Bor-
den counties sold their school land
for more and said he believes our
Commissioner were too hasty in
selling and that they should have
waited till the land was more mar
ketable.
Mac Taylor argued that the
land had sold at good price and
quoted Judge Beale in support of
that opinion.
NJ. f., Rosser thought the court
had made a serious mistake, but
he stressed his confidence in the
integrity of the court and believ-
ed it an honest mistake. He gave
it as his belief that the contract is
against the public good and there
fore subject to be undone.
The sentiment of the audience.
Judged from the applause was ov-
erwhelmingly favorable to the
speakers opposing the action OF
the court.
Judge Smith and Commission
ers Lowe and Stinson stated their
reasons for making the deal and
for believing that they were get
ting a good price for the land.

gress at the time the paper goes

After discussing the report the
house adopted that part that the
land was sold too cheap and that
the court be asked to rescind their
action in selling the land, but
when it came to that part of the
report asking the members of the
court to seek to recover the land
or resign, that part of the report
was tabled.
j. Y. Bowen thinks the land
worth nine or ten dollars an acre.
Henry Wellborn stated that he
stood ready to offer eight dollars
an acre
A. c. Wilmeth thinks the court
made an error and that he thinks
the report of the committee
should be modified. He thought
the court should set aside the sale
on the grounds of Judge Smith 5
ruling the Brock motion out of or
der.
As the matter now stands the
sentiment is that the land was
sold too low and that steps should
be taken to set the sale aside and
recover the land.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2s.-Time was
when Paris fashions travelled to this
country by slow stage. A mode often
ragged high, then qujeted down, and
perhaps subsidized altogether in that
city of dress before it was hailed here
as the very latest thing, and the few
and infrequent Americans who trav-
eled abroad were distinctively mark
ed by their old-fashioned clothes All
that is changed now. Our buyers go
abroad every year, and many Of our
best dressmaking establishments keep
a resident representative in Paris,
whose duty it is to penetrate the in
nermostf recesses Of the shrine of
fashion and invoke the aid of light
ing, If need be, to flash the news of late
designs to the hither shores of the
Atlantic.

themselves know thst they are crazy
