Political Advertising
A BOOST FOR PINCKNEY
(From the Hudsonite)

G. H. Pinckney, deputy state treas
urer, under Hon. George Johnson, is
sending out some campaign advertis.
ing that looks awful good to the vot-
er. On q blotter Mr. Pinckney's good
looking features are seen, while the
sum of $4O,O57.S4 in large black let
tors tells the voter the amount of in
terest money turned back to the state
by Mr.. Johnson during his admins
tration, and the fact is mentioned
that Mr.. Pinckney, if elected to Mr..
Johnson's place, intends to keep In
vogue the "honest official policy"
practiced during the time OF Mr..
Johnson's regime. There is no ques-
tion of Mr.. Pinckney's fitness for the
office to which he aspires, for as Mr..
Johnson's deputy he has famillarized
himself with the duties of the office,
and would unquestionably prove just
another efficient official as Mr.. John
son has been. Mr.. Pinckney is also
meeting with much encouragement
from all parts of the state in his can
didacy, and seems to have good
friends Ia all parts of the state who
are strenuously working for him in
the fnrtherinek of his very laudable
ambitions. If the republican voter
desires to cast his ballot for an hon
est. efficient man for state treasurer
he cannot make mistake by putting
big X opposite the name of g. II
Pinckney.

ARMY OFFICERS UNDECIDED

An issue has arisen between the
customs and army officers along the
a as.sszz;Ssn border, raising again the
question of whether the proclaimed
neutrality Of the United States will
permit the expectation Of munitions
of war to the rebel town of Juarez.
The difference is based upon the con-
struction Of the neutrality statute and
was brought to light through the
seizure by the army at Ell Paso,
Texas. Of : consignment of arms and
ammunition under the belief that it
was destined for the insurrectos.

TREND TOWARD NEW PARTY

1t is the opinion of Washington
newspaper correspondents that the
political developments of the past few
weeks have given an important impet-
us to the third party movement. The
tendency of the reactionaries to herd
together and the progressives to COM
mingle is growing, under the stress
of differences that are becoming more
and more acute.

dred points or so OF the sweeping price
gains of the late winter, the spring and
the early summer, and support their opn-
ions by the assertion that there being
no sale for much of the early cotton in
Texas, the contract market supplies the
only outlet On the other hand. bulls
contend that forward sellers are really do
ing good business that the demand for
export freight room is much better than
generally admitted and that the new bust
ness already done for fall delivery, plus
the outstanding old contracts which must
be filled, aggregates about enough to take
care of all the cotton likely to become
available prior to January. Rain enough
has fallen in the northern half of Texas,
but there seems to be an important area
in the southern half that has not as yet
been sufficiently relieved, with less pros
pect of rain there than has been. Mean
