15 he Noise Continues on
tKe Republican Blea.cKers
The meeting of last Saturday, gotten
up by a few individuals in the Interest
of themselves and their kin-folks, and
incidentally of the Republican party,
has created no small stir. Leading Re
publicans, who object to their party's
being used as a cat's-paw by sore
back Democrats, are talking with thsir
mouths open. They boldly say that
such a meeting cannot control the ac
tion of the Republican party, and that
the Hon. Dillon Luther cannot be the
leader of a Republican party that
they'd belong to. They even go so far
as to assign some uncomplimentary
reasons for the sudden conversion of
Mr. Luther in his campaign against
the amendment two years ago. Almost
any old line Republican that you meet
professes to know exactly why Dillon
did not continue to make his speeches
against the amendment.
It is currently reported, too, that
Col. Lusk has ardently espoused the
cause of Dan Reynolds for sherif.

They say that two years ago the Colo

"Cousin Caney;" didn't like his run
ning mate. Prof. Penland, at all. There
is such talk that the Colonel protested
against the above-named gentlemen
going on the tieket for the reason that
they constituted a load too heavy for
him to tote. Some Republicans now
say that the election returns show that
they were "toting" the Colonel, as they
both ran ahead of him, and now that
the Colonel wants to get somebody on
the ticket with him that he can run
ahead of.
However this may be the meeting
on Saturday has caused a great fer
mentation and the Republicans of the
county evidently do not intend that
the promotors of the candidates who
got up that meeting shall carry off all
the paying offices of the county. They
say that the plan was that the ticket

FAILED TO GET
BOYS CLAIMED TO
BE DESERTERS
By the arrival of a United States ar
my officer in the city and his preempto
ry demand for the two boys, C.W.Roper
and O. W. Erake, who it it claimed,
are deserters form the United States
army, has aroused complications.
Yesterday afternoon in United States
court, now in session here, two habeas
corpus cases were called. It seems
that C. W. Roper and O. W. Drake
were charged with deserting1 from the
regular army.
Judge Bwart appeared for the pa
rents of Roper, who was under age
and had enlisted without the consent
of his parents. Mr. Roper, sr. told on
the witness stand that his son enlist
ed in Asheville while a minor. O. W.
Drake's case was similar. J
It seems that the boys enlisted about
a year ago ana aesertea irom r t.
Sheridan, near Chicago. The police in
Henderson county caught them here.
Judge Boyd yesterday gave an order
of release for both, as the law protects
parents in such cases.
Yesterday afternoon an army officer
arrived and demanded that the boys
be delivered to him. He says he will
take them back if he "gets his hands
on them." He this morning requested
the police to apprehend the boys. This
Chief Fullam refused to do, on the
ground that they have been released by
the United States court and are there
fore free.

ter is now a hundred miles from the
gulf, and the whole of the lowlands are
inundated, with water yet to come down
which will put the river over the record
mark.
Railroad and wagon bridges are
washed out and the railroads are again
i in very bad shape.
The weather bureau has announced
that the worst will not be over in the
l.iwer country, drained by the Brazua
river, until some time Friday. The riv
er at Dike is now less less than 10 feel
from the Santa Fe bridge, and rising all
the way south of Waco. Heavy rains in
nearly all the territory traversed by the
Brazos river will make the overflow a
certainty. Warnings have been sent to
all points in the territory which will
be probably effected and there should b
m loss of life.
So far nine persons have been known
to have been drowned.
