Campbell's Branch. 4
Cotton Gin, Jan. 7, 1902.
Dear Editor:—As it liaa been
quite awhile since I have seen
any locals from this place I
thought I would try to send in a
few items.
The health of our community
is good at present.
The weather is fine and most
all of the farmers of this section
are breaking their land and pre-
paring for this years crop.
Weil Christmas ha,s come and
gone, so has new years. We
now enter upon a year which we
have nev' r seen before.
The Methodist preaoher for
this year, Bro. Harris, preached
his first sermon at Cainbell-J
Branch last fourth Sunday, 111
the evening, following he held a
children service which s«emed to
interest the litMo ores very much.
Mis* Pennie Manning, 01 our
community, is visiting iier sister.
KOIJND ABOUT TALK.
Totlie renders of the Statu HkraLD:
As thin is campaign year and
there will have to be more or less
kicking done by some one, and
as it is a free c luntry and as
newspaper's are public property
and will print mo-t anything
that v ill (ill tin since, I thought.
[ would take tine: by the fore-
lock and g it tuv «pacc before it
was all tak in up
I honestly believe that there
id!
This is hui'i
(general opitii-..i of iuielli
aehers, but their delicate
f>n as employes deter, them
forging a change.
■ralists tell 11s that tiie world
lily erowing better. Is the
Isnce in favor of this propo-
I11 glaringly evident? Jf pub-
press report's nvo mliqliio, i?
lot evidtsjiL t i.1. auiiog the
Jt year divorce, suicide, murder,
ift. lynching, etc., showed an
creasing ratio? A statistician
(ported a few months since that
lere had been over three thous-
and lynchings in the United
Etates during the past year.
JWhilo crime increases, respect
iL'or law decreases a.s a logical
(corollary.
« The last Legislature did some
things that had better have been
left undone, and neglected others
of great importance to office
seekers. This is shown by the
rising flood of the over faithful
who never scratch a ballot and
for whom the ungrateful Legis-
lature neglected to provide tin
adequate number ol soft snaps

^4-nipX, \Y. F, Roberts has been
in the Kosse district for several
days and he informs us that it is
kgetting mighty dry-down there—
fey en more so than in this end of
the oounty, as t hey have hai no
rain to amount to anything since
tear June,while we up here had
poon rain in September. The
routh is getting to be a serious
I^Uestion for the farmers, as the
rround is too dry to plow.

(ithce. So out ho comes, and
when the race is oyer he is a
much wiser '>nd a heap poorer
man. Well, I don't think it is
riirht to encourage a man like
thi=, and I think the best way to
check it is to sit right down on
such men. Let, a man do some-
thing.to identify himself as a cit-
ii'.'Mi of our county besides sit
around and talk politics. Be-
cause a man is a good-hearted
kind of a fellow, it is no reason
that he should be elected to an
office; or because he lias been
unfortunate in business, is no
reason why he should be elected.
But if he has mad ? a success in
life, he is qualified to fill any
office, arid should do it. S 1 I
ask .all voters to weigh well every
man's claims, and if we have
) ben 1 fide citizens enough tii.it, ask

1 U'i lerstand that some of the
:ndidates arc in favor of a con-
| vcution instead of a primary
election. I would like to hear
; from all over the county on this
subject, as it would interest
every voter and is of interest to
the county at large.
We are going to ask another
srond man to take the com-
missioner's office, as Mr. C.

• Mayes, who lives two miles
of Tehuacua, or. John Forres?
j who lives at Tehuacua, and if
neither of these gentlemen will
consent, and rather than be with-
out a commissioner, we could
put up with Luther Smith, and I
think Luther somewhat wants to
get into politics anyway, and if
he will run for commissioner and
should get elected and makes a
good one, we might elect him
for something else later on.
1 wish some good mau would
come out for representative,
don't you? Roundabout.
