ROOSEVELT THREATENS TO
QUIT REPUBLICAN PARTY
Chicago, 111., March 28.—Col.
Theodore Roosevelt delivered an
ultimatum to the voters of Illinois
and the Republicans throughout, the
length and breadth of the United
States in two speeches delivered in
this city last night. Its purport
was: "Nominate me or I will go out
and fight the Republican party."
The Colonel did not commit him-
self on the methods he would use
to fight the Republican party if it
did not nominate him, hut he made
the Inference plain that if it did not,
he would start a third party, with
himself as leader and "the new Na-
tionalism" as the battle cry.
Col. Roosevelt gave the first in-
timation of his decision in a chat
with a number of Illinois partisans
at the Congress Hotel shortly after
his arrival In Chicago. Later he
repeated it in a two-minute address
to Cook county precinct leaders.
"We want to exercise our own
judgment," he said, "while urging
the preferential primary law. If we
have the primary and the people de-
ckle against us, I will have nothing
to say. If, however, the bosses dom-
inate the party and decide against
us, then I will hnve a good deal to
say. It Is for you men who are the
real political power In your State to
get the primary. If you do not get
It, then we must win, anyhow."

NO SMALLPOX
IN M'KINNEY
It was rumored throughout, the
city Tuesday that there was a case
of smallpox in the county jail, and
as there were many people in from
the country the news was rapidly
spread to all parts of the county, and
no doubt some are afraid to come to
town.
A representative of these papers
got busy as soon as the news was
conveyed to him and made a thor-
ough investigation as to the truth-
fulness of the report, and found it
to be without foundation in fact.
There is only one sick patient in the
jail and he has meningitis, and is
resting well today.
According to rumors during the
past month, and we are very glad
that these were false, there have
been not less than a hundred cases of
meningitis in McKinney, when in
fact there have been but six,

JUDGE RAMSEY
STEPS DOWN
Austin Tex., March 26.—William
F. Ramsey Mil leave the bench of
the Texas Supreme Court on Friday
of this week at midnight and will be
succeeded by NelBon Phillips of Dal-
las.
Justice Ramsey on Monday placed
his formal resignation in the hands
of Gov. Colquitt, Ills opponent for the
Governorship in the forthcoming
contest, at 3:45 o'clock In the after-
noon. It was immediately accepted
and almost Instantly the name of his
successor announced. As yet Mr.
Phillips has not communicated his
acceptance to the Governor.
The resignation created a pro-
found sensation in the Statehouse
and was the sole topic on Austin
street cornera this evening. It is a
comparatively short time since Jus-
tice Ramsey, in a formal statement,
declared he would not resign, but
would continue to hold the position,
not actively serving and refunding
the salary to the State.
Because of this his resignation
came as a complete surprise, it is
effective the day before he begins his
formal campaign for Governor with
an address in Gonzales Saturday. In
a formal statement "the Impractic-
ability of discharging a divided duty,
with due consideration for either, is
forced upon him."
Justice Ramsey was appointed to
the Supreme Bench by Gov. Camp-
bell from the bench of the Court of
Criminal Appeals, to which position
he had ulso been appointed! by this
Executive. This court promotion fol-
lowed the resignation of Chief Jus-
tice R. R. Gaines, shortly before the
incumbency of Gov. Colquitt.
With the appointment of Mr.
"Phillips, Gov. Colquitt will have
named a minority of the court of last
resort, his first appointment being
Justice J. B. Dlbrell of Seguln. • Mr.
Phillips, before moving to Dallas,
where he is now engaged in the prac-
tice of law, reBided in Hill county,
and was Judge of the DlBtrlct Court
of Hill and Johnson Counties, the
latter being the home of Justice
Ramsey.
AN OLD SUBSCRIBER.
Tells of Fine Time Ho and Roys Had
on South Texas Hunting Trip.
Steve Hobblns, who owns one of
the finest farms In the Culleoka
community, or In the county, for
that matter, sends In the necessary
amount to run his figures ahead a
year on our big weekly list. Mr.
Hobblns has been a reader of our
weekly ever since the first Issue was
printed, and says that he expects to
remain a member of the big family
as long as he can raise the dollar
once a year. In a private letter to
our Mr. Todd, of the circulation de-
partment, Mr. Hobblns tells of a big
deer hunt which he and his sons en-
joyed down near the coast last Eea-
son. He also enclosed a photograph,
showing the crowd of hunters sur-
rounding the carcasses of some very
fine specimens of the deer family.
Tills party is composed of Mr. Hob-
blna, his four sons. Harve, Fred,
John Walter and G. T. Hobblns, to-
gether with two friends, Mr. Cathey,
of near Branch, (Whurton county)
nnd Charlie Lefraan, of Wharton.
This hunting trip was made along
the banks and brakes of the Colorado
river in Wharton county, and dur-
ing the trip the party bagged sev-
enteen deer and one two-ye-xr-old
bear, besides numerous small game.
When reading of how the party en-
loyed the bear meat, Mr. Todd's
face wus overspread with a broad
smile, which showed very plainly
that a few rashers of "bar meat"
would be greatly enjoyed by this old
"Tar Heel."
COLLIN COUNTY LAND.
Comparison of Valuations in Other
Counties.
Austin, Texas, March 27.—A
comparison of the valuation of land
by counties as shown by the reports
in the Comptroller's office with that
just announced by the Federal Cen-
sus Burenu. shows a wide variation
between the assessed value and the
true value of farm property. The
Census reports show the average
value of iand in the state at $14.53
per acre and the land Is assessed at
$6.58 per acre. The comparison
shows that land is assessed at 45
per cent of its true value, accepting
the Census Bureau's Report as the
true value of the property.
In Co'lln county the CenBUS
Enumerators value the land at
$50.70 per acre and the Tax Aseess-
ors at $25.00, making the assess-
ment of land 50.8 per cent of Its
true value, which Is 5.8 above the
state average.
A Good Roads' Ruilder.
W. B. Fowler, a hustling young
farmer and good roads' builder, who

three weeks, has about recovered,
and has been up at Denlson this

out of Denlson. W. B. is a hustler,
and' says that If the farmers, of

interests, as he Bees It, they would
have a good road leading Into every
corner of the square of McKlnney.
