May 15th is’the date fixed ou! which Houston democrats will hold their connty primary. The proceedings of the mass meeting and of tbe new executive committee are published in this paper. The campaign limitation, is fixed by correct authority, the caudi dates will use their powers of per - suasiou, aud the people must de cide as to who shall be chosen. Of coarse the decision in each case will be made on each a com parison of qualification and merit as the voters may think correct. Of coarse the candidates will be upright and manly in their con duct throughout the campaign, as all measure up to such a standard. There will be no attacks upon the apright character of an opponent, because no such attack could be sustained. The people will make qn honest,conscientious choice, be cause they desire the best men to serve them, and the nomination will be equivalent to an election. Now let the campaign proceed in good humor, and briskly,—a fair field and a full vote. Houston Superior Court, The spring term of Houston Su perior court has been in season since last Monday. Jadge Felton’s charge .to the grand jury was plain and forceful as usual. . Solicitor Hedges is present in the interest of the state, and Sten ographer Barnes is in attendance.' Several visiting attorneys have been here each day. The attention of the court has been given steadily to civil cases, while the grand jury has been busy with criminal affairs. — Mr. S. S. Taylor is forenqaD, B. 0. Holtzclaw clerk and Mr. D. H, duller plaintiff of the grand jury. This body will probably conclude its duties this week. The criminal docket will not be taken up by the court until next week. A man charged with having bur glarized the Perry Loan aod Sav ings Bank on the 14th of February was placed iD the Houston connty jail last Thursday afternoon. | Thp capture was made in Jack sonville, Fla. by Mr. Will G. Riley, brother of our deputy sheriff. The name under which the suspected burglar was arrested is George. W. Clark, and Mr. Riley followed him from Macon, where evidence pointing directly to his guilt was collected through the assistance of a local detective. The man is about 35 vears old, far from well dressed. He says he was born in England, and we learn he was known in Jacksonville as “Londou Red.” Mr. Riley and ibose who assist ed in the capture -ef Clark think the evidence they will produce is sufficient to convict. Of that evi dence it is best to say nothing here, as the judicial investigation will be made daring the term pf ■our Superior court now in session. It is not- believed that Giark is the only man connected with the Perry bank burglary, aud a recent press dispatch says three men were captured several days ago in Chat tanooga, Teno., who are said to have robbed the Perry bank, as well as banks in other Georgia and Alabama towns. We suppose there will be a re ward paid for the conviction, of the burglar, or burglars, but have not seen aoy such official statement. Democratic Blass Meeting. FRED, M.
