pointed 77 deputy sheriffs to assist
him. The State Observer of Austin
says ‘there ought to be close co-

seven members of the police force
have been appointed ‘special depu-

(Paris News)
Such wonderful school children
they have over in Dallas—and in
many other towns, no doubt, though
their antics do not always get into
the newspapers and the courts.
A number of young men, almost
of the voting age that some legisla-
tors believe Texas should set, not
only flouted the law but did a lot
of material damage which the trans-
portation company will have to re-
pair at it own cost. They were at-
tendants at a high school, and when
told by the bus driver to stop smok-
ing, as it was against the rules of
his bus, they retorted by throwing
bus seats out the windows and
breaking a door. Just proving their
independence and manliness, per-
haps.
The manager of the bus company
went into action and told the school
principal that if there was no way
to stop destruction of the company’s
property the bus would be discon-
tinued and the young men would
have to walk to school. Being told
this by the principal, the pupils are
said to have promised there would
be no more ..such destruction of
property.
A woman school teacher who pad-
died a refractory and sassy young-
ster was haled into court by the
irate parents. She was alleged to
have beaten the boy a tender 15-
year-old, who nevertheless was able
to enter the Golden Gloves fights,
and give a good account of himself.
The parents wanted an injunction,
but the judge said injunctions were
to prevent future misdeeds and
there was no evidence that the
teacher was contemplating another
“assault” on their son. They have
filed civil suit for a thousand dol-
lars “damages” and their lawyer
says are thinking about bringing ;
criminal charges against the teach-
er. They are rearing their son the
right way—if they want him to
grow up believing he is a “big shot”
and can do as he darn well pleases
—which he will find he cannot.

been,
The clouds that come our lives be-
tween,
The wounds the world has

night she brought some of the

the parents had gone she settled
''u~ beside ker on

Coming to a picture of the Virgin

Democracy of Death!
How long has it been since you '
went back to visit the resting place I
of your ancestors? Perhaps in some j
country church yard overgrown j
with weeds and sombre with the I
gloom of neglect, you may find in
a broken tombstone the last earthly
reminder of one who once walked
proudly in the community. Or may-
be loving hands, through a ceme-
tery asociation, have kept the sacred I
ground inviolate while you were i
busy with your plan in far away
places.
The condition of a cemetery is a
measure of the spirit of a communi-
ty. How soon we forget the leaders
of yesteryear. The costly monu-
ments that bankrupted the grieving
survivors years ago now totter on
theoir foundations or lie broken and
stained with the rain and snow of
many winters. The expensive lot
that was surounded by a wall to set
apart some great family can hardly
be located for the weeds and grass.
The man whose name was on ev-
erybody’s lips fifty years ago now
diers is represented in the picture is
not told in the legend which accom-
panies it; but it is known that some
' men from this area went into Madi-
son’s regiment, Martin’s regiment,
and perhaps others.
In the fall of 1861 the militia was
organized and young men of the r_„
community were required to drill I calling his wife at their home "from
each Saturday night. From this mi-1 ’ ‘ — ■ - - -
i litia and others like it came many
of the soldiers that Texas furnished
the South. By the fall of ’63 Texas
had called for three-fourths of the
militia; the remainder and exempts
were organized for home defense.
Martin’s regiment was the Fifth
Texas Porters and Rangers, so called
because the regiment could divide
into parts and go forth in pursuit of
bands of the enemy. It was made up,
as a rule, of young men and boys
who had just reached eighteen years
of age. Thomas B. Estes brother of
the late Ben Estes of McKinney, was
chosen Adjutant.
Camps for training were at Shir-
ley Springs, ten miles north of Mc-
Kinney.
According to the writings of Ro-
bert Cannon Horn, a member of
Martin’s regiment: “The greatest
enemies we have had to contend
with at Shirley Springs were ticks
and copperhead snakes. The former .
wounded nearly every soldier in '
camp, while one of the last men- (
tioned stuck its fangs into one of .
Jack Leeper’s fingers.” ;
The late Mrs. M. H. Garnett’s j
father was commander of the first
comnanv to leave McKinney for the
Civil War. J
Believe it or not there are reas-
ons to make one hopeful that the
Texas prison system will be reor-
ganized eventually and placed on a
self-supporting basis. For years and
years it has been losing thousands
of dollars annually. The managers
were too political-minded, had too
little real constructive ability. They
held their jobs more as political re-
wards than for what they might ac-
complish. A writer at Huntsville
says that the new general manager,
O. B. Ellis, is losing no time in plac-
ing into operation his “Ellis plan”
for complete reorganization of the
prison system.
Ne wdirectives for improving the
discipline of the system’s inmates
and boosting agricultural output
have become effective.
Ellis said Governor Jester’s sign-
ing of the $4,195,075 “Ellis plan” ap-
propriation bill means:
“A lol of people are going to ex-
pect results TODAY. I WANT re-
sults TODAY.”
At a meeting of farm wardens and-
other key personnel Ellis ordered:
1. A 40 per cent INCREASE in the
system’s agricultural acreage—in-
cluding 4,000 additional acres of
cotton, 2,800 for truck gardens, 2,-
000 for corn and 200 for Irish po-
tatoes.
2. Ar. intensive campaign to de-
liver a knockout punch to the DOPE

ples. He supported the church and I

ments.

HIGH SCHOOL
DEBATERS SHOULD
HAVE HAD CHARGE
Here’s a case that was taken to
District Court that ought to
have , been tried in a High Scho®I
debating society. A candidate for
a municipal office does not have to
purchase a poll tax. District Judge
Mays held in ruling/ void a section
of the Corsicana city charter, which
required payment of poll tax for all
“qualified voters” and deemed only
such persons to be eligible as office--
seekers. Judge Mays held the city
law to be INCONSISTENT with the
Constitution of Texas. The opinion
was delivered on a petition for a
writ of mandamus, ordering the city
secretary to certify the candidate's
name on the ballot in the April 5
election as candidate for the city
commissions. The candidate did not
pay his poll tax and City. Atty.
Julius Jacobs held him disqualified
as a candidate. The writ was grant-
ed, and the candidate’s name
be on the ballot.
Claude Callan is worried. He says
women work harder no wthan they
did in the old days. He says his
Grandma Davis ha dnothing to do
when she was young, except cook,
sew, wash, milk the cows and look
after eight children. This gave her
time to take a short nap in the af-
ternoon and she never was in poor
health. Because of her light work
she lived to a ripe old age and en-
joyd life to the very last. But her
granddaughter is worked to death.
It is true granddaughter doesn’t
sew, wash, milk or take care of
eight children and she does little
cooking, but she works harder than
grandma did. She rushes to the'the youngster
beauty parlor, attends parties, gives'
parties in her home and strives des-
perately to hold her place in so-
ciety. The poor granddaughters is
ON THE GO FROM MORNING
UNTIL NIGHT and she surely can’t
live as long as grandma did.
Lavon Dam As Drawn by the Engineers
The grain theft cases in District
Court have attracted much atten-
tion. The first case tried was that
of C. K. Denison. A district pourt
jury acquitted Denison of charges
of illegal grain dealings after only
15 minutes of deliberation. He was
charged with manipulating weights
at the Burrus Feed Mill in McKin-
ney with intent to defraud, causing
the scales to register excess weights.
In his charge District Judge V. M.
Johnson instructed the jury not to
convict Denison ou the testimony of
M. B. Jernigan of Bells which he
termed circumstantial.
Denison was defended by Moses

A Thought I
When one has lived a full, useful \
life, age and experience mellows and
enriches him. If one has kept busy,
his hours have been filled with ef-
fort. If he has done something for
others and for his community, he has
been useful.
Till next week, s’long!
PEDDLING racket within the
tern. j
Ellis said his main projects for the
the current year will be raising a
$1,000,000 cotton crop on 10,000 acres
as compared to a $400,000 crop on
6,000 acres last year, and DOUB-
LING of the PORK PRODUCTION
for use in the system’s dining halls.
Ellis pointed out that the system’s
operations COST THE PEOPLE of
TEXAS $1,700,000 last year. He
said: “We have told the people of
Texas to give us the equipment to
do with and we will GET THE JOB
DONE. They have DONE THAT.
Now we must work together, as a
TEAM, and show RESULTS.”
■ He said 50 tractors purchased
from the International Harvester
Company are now being received
for the larger agricultural program.
These tractors will mean that 700
of the prison’s 1,200 work mules will
be offered for sale.
In ordering new disclipinary
measures, Ellis told his wardens that
the DOPE RACKET and SEX AB-
NORMALITIES are the two most
glaring ills of the system and are
responsible for 98 per cent of the
trouble within the system.
his new rules will
from reaching the
convicts and that new individual
cell blocks, to be constructed under
the Ellis plan, will stop a MAJOR
PORTION of the sex offenses.
Ellis ordered the wardens to dis-,
continue the use of trusty inmates '■
on trucks, outside the farms, unless
ihe inmates are accompanied by an
employee of the system.
He instructed them to “tighten
up” on other security measures, par-
ticularly the searching of prisoners
moving from one section of a build-
ing to another and when theinmates
come into buildings fro mthe field.
Placing of prison employees on
trucks and in cars driven by trusty
inmates will be somewhat of an in-
novation for the system. It has Jong
peen a practice for trusty prisoners
to run errands and transport prison
merchandise from one unit to anoth-
er, without a guard or prison em-
ployee in supervision.
Many of the inmates have had as-
signments to go to postoffices for (
farm mail. Ellis said such missions ,
gave the trusted prisoners oppor-
tunities to make purcheses at drug .
stores and at other civilian estab-
lishments.
RUSSIA has sense. She isn’t go-
ing to start a bloody, costly war
with the United States. Russia is
headquarters of the Communists of
the world. And is capturing our
country by peaceful means, such
as getting big, fat jobs for her poli-
tical friends. Russia knows what
she wants and it getting it.
“He knows—O,r heart, take up thy
cross,
And knows earth’s treasures are
but dross,
And all will prove as gain, not loss.
My Father knows, my Father

How deep the pain how near the

Of despair we pause to shrink:

Special Built Chickens
Between the boys and me, we’ve
recently turned our place into a
chicken ranch. Yep, got a whole
dozen baby chicks. So I have been
talking chickens quite frequently.
The other day in a neighboring town
two or three fellows were talking
chickens, our favorite breeds and
types, when the colored porter came
by. One fellow asked Henry what
kind of chickens he liked best. Hen-
ry stopped long enough to say:
“Any kind is purty on de hoof, gen-
nlemen, but de kind I really likes
best is fried.” Bob, John, Fuz and
I had to agree that perhaps FRIED
chickens was the favorite KIND of
chickens with most every one.
Correction
Recently an item appeared about
a very fine Collin County lady
whom I referred to as “Aunt Bill
Graham,” which was an error. Now
I can straighten it all out. I made
a special trip to Mrs. Graham’s
home in Farmersville. In the first
place I learned that no one ever re-
fers to her as “Aunt Bill,” as I un-
derstood my informant to call her.
Her late husband was known as
“Uncle Bill Graham,” and she is
known as “Aunt Effie.” But the
worst mistake was when I gave hen
age as “-approaching 90 years.” Mrs-
Graham laughingly told me it was
true that she was APPROACHING
9C years of age, but really she was
ONLY 83 years old. Mrs. Graham
told me she came to Texas with her
family from Clinton County, Mis-
souri, in 1881, and settled at Cope-
ville. Well, Mrs. Graham, I want
to thank you for one of the nicest
visits I have had anywhere in a
A second warning in recent days
of the present on the market of a
drug considered unsafe, this time
a cough syrup which reportedly has
a tendency to destroy the white cor-
puscles of the blood, has come from
the U. S. Food and Drug Adminis-
tration.
It has not been long since the use
ci lithium chloride as a substitute
for common table salt in salt-free
diets was banned by the adminis-
tration after four deaths were at-
tributed to it. A scramble to gath-
er in existing supplies of prepara-
tions containing the drug ensued.
At that time it was charged that the
compound was released to the gen-
eral market after being tested on
only 10 rats.
It would appear from the sequence
of these alarms and searches that
somebody is failing to make reason-
J ably certain that the drugs the
American drug store customer buys
will not injure him if used accord-
ing to directions. The task of the
Food and Drug Administration ad-
mittedly is a big one, and if its per-
sonnel is inadequate for the job, it
should be increased. If present
laws are inadequate they should be
strengthened. The public’s stake in
the matter is too great to allow in-
adequate testing.
The administration’s warnings of
dangerous drugs and its efforts to
recall them from the market are a
tremendous public service, says the
Ft. Worth Star-Telegram, but it
would be a GREATER PUBLIC
SERVICE if fewer such prepara-
tions reached the market in the first
place.
