omy when in operation, it leads to un-
wise and ill-digested legislation and
extravagant expenditures. For in
stances, by an amendment under this
Rule reducing the Postal expenditures
by one dollar provision was inserted
under which certain alleged fast mail
trains were provided, which before we
got rid of them cost the people about
seven million dollars. This rule, will,
in my opinion, be regretted by the
country and by the Democratic party.
1t is hard to understand how they
adopted it in view of past sad exper-
fence under similar rule.

THE membership of fifteen of the

a majority of only sixteen more than
the Republicans had in the last Con

themselves S3 more places on the inn

DOUGHERTY FARMER
DEAD ON RY, TRACKS
REMAINS FOUND SUNDAY MORN.
lNG-MURDER is SUSPECTED
BY MANY.

The remains of Claude Johnson,
which were found on the railroad
tracks Just south of Davis Sunday
morning, were buried today in
Dougherty. Johnson was a farmer
about Thirty years of age and is
survived by wife and three chill
dren. Some mystery surrounds the
death of Johnson which may never
be soNed. Justice of the Peace Geo.
=. Dickerson, acting coroner, was
called to see the remains before
daylight Sunday morning. II is be
lieved he met death about two
o'c'ock Sunday morning. The head
was cut and many bruises were On
the body.
Josnson is reported to have been
drinking and a bottle of whisky was
found in his pocket and another bot
tie was found just few feet south
of where he lay. With the bottle also
lay his hat and muffler How the
train could have killed him Is difficult
to understand and why any person
should murder him is still harder to
understand and the truth may never
be known. A fuller Investigation will
be held tomorrow at which time the
coroner will report his verdict in the

court, towit: Mandamus proceedings
against the county election board
set for Wednesday before Judge
Russell; an injunction suit against
the issuance of election certificates,
and a quo warnanto proceeding to
test the title of said office. III this
matter the county commissioners re-
fused both oaths and bonds, saying
they would hold this matter in abey-
ance until the district court settled
it. This is the only contest in the
county, and is one which has caus-
ed great deal of comment and
litigation. IL is alleged that many
negroes, who were not qualified,
voted, and the matter was thorough
ly investigated before the recen.
special grand jury. l. is understood
that some of the election officers in
the various precincts were investi-
gated in connection with this matte"
and it is quite problematical which
of them will finally be awarded
the Office. Pruitt is a democrat,
while Ross is a republican. Yet it is
understood that a few democrats
BOXED their party, and voted for
Ross.
The few officers ot the county
are well known, MANY of them re-
siding here since Ardmore was a
village. and Carter county has a
right to expect that the criminal
laws will be enforced to the letter
and that these men viii do heir full
duty as they are competent, active,
energetic, and men of nerve, and as
to their future official acts, will be
the sympathy of the public when
they cast their votes in the next
election. Those who do their full
duty will probably be retained, those
who do not may expect to see their
successor.
