there will be no trouble In completing the
necessary details as to the transfer of
the property.
The announcement made exclusively In
The Express of tbe probability of tho
erection of such a place here has created
a great deal of Interest, not only at (his
place but In San Antonio.

fine automobile road, the visitors can
reach San Antonio quickly and with ease.

activity in clothes selling centers here. Test them for yourself—note the way the suits are made—note that

vailed iu Texas prisons aud they know
tho people are demanding reform instanter.
Delay will not sutisfy them. There is no
just ground for delay, for a political eou-
Fider.-Ulou uevei did and never will rightly
outweigh u rnoial deed. Mr. Colquitt
wants reform, aud wants it to be thor-
oughly Instituted without regard tor po-
litical considerations, lie has repeatedly
said ho. For the first time in history
will n precedent have been established for
th#* enactment of a bill creating a sub-
ordinate branch of the government without
allowing the powers that be tho privilege
of launching its operations upon a T>.isls
conforming to the principles underlying
the law.
WILL THEY PLAY POLITICS?
There are now two bills before the
Legislature and they divide tho legislators
Into two political factions. The House bill
carries the emergency clause; the Senate
bill fixes the date of the measure's taking
effect at January liO, three days after Mr.
Colquitt will have been Inaugurated Gov-
ernor. The Question to be determined is:
Will the Legislature pander to political
prejudice and prolong undesirable condi-
tions for five unnecessary months, or will
it bury its political animosities and vote
to give defenseless* convicts a square deal
at the earliest possible moment'/
The House Committee on Penitentiaries
reported the bill favorably without read-
ing, and the House ordered GOO copies
printed, in committee Messrs. Terrell of
Cherokee, Cox, Fant and Luce protested
against acting with such apparent haste.
The Senate Committee on Internal im-
provements will consider the measure Mon-
day.
In all other respects than as noted the
House nnd Senate bills are Identical.
