WE'RE RIGHT ALL RIGHT

According to reports the Lub.
book Texico railroad will begin
construction soon. The Lub-
book Avalanche in its noisy crow
over the good news took occasion
to dig" in an avenged tone, the
other newspapers that have been
kicking the Avalanche's railroad
dawg aroun' among other
things, saying that all of Lub-
books railroads wern't contruct-
ed on that papers front page.
It is to be hoped he's right. -
Hale Center Livewire.
Indeed we are right. We
have the evidence on those
fellows who have been trying to
throw our testimony out of
court. Part of them have al
ready acknowledged the corn.
and are lining up now for a
bigger and better Lubbock.

ANTAGONIST, ANTAGONI-
FER AND ANTAGONIZING

Whatever else can be said in
regard to Mr.. Colquitt's guber.
natoral incumbency, he is GER
tainly a pluperfect antagonizer.
By his veto of the Texarkana
character and the S-hour law
and his appointment of Senator
Dribell to the supreme bench
he has actively antagonized the
labor element of the State an
element which solidly supported
him in the last election; he has
more or less gratuitously antag-
onized the prohibitionists; and
by his persistent pleading in
his present campaign speeches
of the baby act in regard to his
own record he is still farther
diminishing the already rapidly
slumping list of his Texas ad-
mirers and friends.
In fact, the present Governor
of the State can be well de-
scribed as alike his own and a
Texas antagonist his attenuated
prospects of reelection being
still farther discounted by the /
remembrance that in the
last campaign the combined vote
of Poindexter, Johnson and
Davidson was Ga, 600 in excess of
Mr.. Colquitt.
Mr.. Colquitt is a plurality
and not a peoples governor
Having, however, the consistent
record of misrepresenting alike
the minority and the majority. 3D.

You may sometimes tire of the
Avalanche's optomistic way of
telling about Lubbock. but Just
read what the two visiting edi-
tors say about the town. They
are more elaborate in their
praise of our people and use
more words to express their
surprise and pleasure about the
growth of our good town than
we. It's the truth. Lubbock is
going some and her people are
proud of the great progress that
is being made and the SUBJ
stantial growth of the town

That Underwood's victory nipped in

That Underwood's victory nipped in
the bud some pretty well laid politi-
cal plans, there can scarcely be ques-
ton or doubt.
Senator Hoke Smith needed the VIII
son victory to keep his hold upon the
state. He must run again in 1914,
and this time before the people. He
no doubt felt that he had hurt him
self somewhat by his refusal to sub
NIT to primary last year, leaving
the election to a legislature, known
to be composed of a majority of his
followers.
He knows, too, that in all human
probability he will have opposition
in his coming race. From this it may
be pretty nearly figured out what "A
Wilson victory meant to him; which
explains why, also, he besought and
urged his friends in Georgia to sup
port Wilson, and even left his seat
in the senate to come here with the
New Jersey governor, lending also
the influence of his personal presence
to the campaign.

Woman Draws Weapon on Official Who
Owed Her $500.

Chicago, May Alice McMorrow,
of Philadelphia, collected $500 today
from a Chicago deputy coroner through
the medium of silver-handled knife
She met Deputy Coroner Michael G.
Walsh in the county building. A few
words were spoken and then on
lockers saw the flash of a knife.
Walsh GRABBED the woman. Other dep
uties separated the two, and the wo-
man was taken to the coroner's office
After a few hours the woman left,
smiling, with the knife, and $500 in her
handbag.
Coroner Hoffman explained that the
woman loaned Walsh $500, which
Walsh did not repay

If what he actually received.


The rule is political claims are put
high, and the actual figures work
down from them; in this case the
process was reversed.
The night of the election, Mr.. I'm
derwood's friends figured he had won
by approximately 1000. The next
morning this had been increased to
$500. By Friday afternoon this had
increased to 1885 and was still grow
ing.
There is little doubt that the final
consolidation will show plurality of
more than $4,000 for Mr.. Underwood.
This is a larger plurality than has
been received by the successful candt-
date in any of the last three cam
paigns for governor.

man he is and how well and efficiently he fills the position he holds. He thoroughly demonstrated that no mat ter how strong his personal opinion. might be in matters affecting the public he can do his sworn duty and decide cases on their merits and ac- cordipg to law.
 His Free Bridge decision was not as Judge Grace personally thought 1t should be, but just as the law says 1t ought. to be and as the Supreme Court of Arkansas has held it must be. While he takes an opposite view to that expressed by the Supreme Court in recognizing the power of the Legislature to bestow authority on a body of men in certain cases, such as improvement districts. Judge Grace displayes his appreciation of the law and the Supreme Court by saying: E Under the laws of this state it is the duty of all circuit and inferior courts to respect and obey the de- cisions of the supreme court of the state. .p s sfs z 8J&5f ,r In. denying T. H Golfers applica- tion fol. a writ of certiorari, through which the plaintiff sought to get a review of the majority finding of the Bridge Commission, Judge Grace, de- spite the fact that he, personally holds an opinion to the contrary, rem dered one of the most" popular opin- i6hs lever handed down in a court in this county. The decision will have tendency to bring into the already large ranks of the Free Bridge people, the few who remained among the anti Free Bridge faction.
 ], Several of the strongest opponents of the Free Bridge were in the court room when the opinion was read by the Court and later many of them were heard to express themselves as being done with the fight. Several went so far as to say that they hoped there would be no further delay. in the project and that the Free Bridge would soon be built.
 Continued opposition will not only be useless, but foolish. Nothing can be accomplished in the line of check ing the progress of this most popu- lar movement and no selfish ends can be served.
 In the history of Jefferson county there has never been a more import ant movement started or one where opinion is so near unanimous as to the great benefits to be derived for all the people. A Free Bridge has been the one thing needed for years to make Fine Bluff and Jefferson county what they should be, next in importance and size to our capital city and Pulaski county.
 The Bridge Commissioners have at last won decisive victory that was merited. They are due the gratitude of our people for the time they have taken from their business life and devoted to this great movement.

{ l. h
 Mrs. T. B. Raney; through her at torney, Irving Reinberger, has filed suit in the Jefferson. chancery court against J. L. Roberts, in which she asks for an Injunction to restrain the defendant from destroying several notes,. aggregating a face value of $350. Wh ch she states were delivered to the defendant whileesaei was under the csre of a physician and under the influence of cplates. The notes were given to her at intervals by Roberts. Mrs. Raney was formerly a member of the firm of J.. l.. Roberts and Company, but sold her interest on October 16, 1912, to w. Julian. She charges that at the time of the dis solution of the firm the defendant agreed tc pay her her proport onate share of all money on hand. This, she charges, he has never done, but has appropriated the money to his own use. She asks for an accounting of all the dealings and transactions of the firm up 10 and including Oct. 16, 1912, and judgment for $350., which she claims is due her by the firm.sa An injunction s also prayed fer to restrain the defendant from disposing of bis interest in the part nership existing between himself and w.
