"1 don't know that 1 ever heard of
a tin-horn politician or a dirty dive-
keeper that favored "votes for wom-

line sometimes, but It's only when he
sees the ple-couflter being removed
and thinks It will' het|> him.
J believe that there are more wom-
en like my mother than like those
fearful "bad-women" who we are told
would counter-balance the vote of the
fletter' class of women. 1 believe
hat for every "bad" woman there
are one thousand-—no, ten thousand—
good ones. 1 believe that If a ballot
were placed In the hands of these ten-
Ihousand to one, they would cast it as
their conscience dictated, and for what
they thought for the betterment of
mankind.
Peep in her heart, every woman
has a desire to have a voice in the af-

Ballinger, April 28.—Following a
mob of 200 men at Winters, In the
north end of this county, Tuesday af-
ternoon, officers brought to Ballinger
anil placed in jail a negro who at-
tacked and wounded Miss Clara Hood,
a young lady school teacher, In the
northern part of the county, late
that afternoon.
Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Rigglns, with
whom Miss Hood was boarding, and
for whom the negro was working,
were away from home when the
young lady returned from her school
about 5 o'clock. Learning that the
young lady was Hlone, the negro went
to her room and attacked her. She
proved herself to be equal to the
young negro in strength, and after a
struggle escaped to the porch, and
making the negro bellex-e that she
saw Mr. Riggs coming, she frighten-
ed him away. Kscaplng to a neigh-
bor's, the young lady gave the alarm.
The negro stole a shotgun anil made
his escape.
The neighborhood is a network of
phone wires, and a posse of more
than 200 men soon formed and
search started. The officers eluded
the posse, and getting a trail of tho
negro, captured him without tho
knowledge of the mob.
There Is a strong anti-negro sentl
ment In the north end of the county,
where the crime was committed, and
up to last fall a negro was not allow-
ed to stop In that section. Several
hundred were Imported to pick cot-
ton, and hare remained In the coun-
ty. Whllecop notices were recently
posted and negroes In Winters left
that city Tuesday.
The officers were notified late yes-
terday evening that a mob was en
route to Ballinger to lynch the negro
brought here and the prisoner was
carried to San Angelo In an automo-
bile.

the pupils worked hard and from the
first day promised to make the work

They stayed with their promise like
men and womn that we expect them
to make In the future.
The seventh grade pupils were as
follows: Ara Simpson, Alice Verinll-

This grade did excellent work, and
were promoted, without a single ex-

There were a number of pupils who
ellil excellent work In the lower
grades. Kvery pupil was promoted
at some time during the term, or at
the close of the term.
On last Friday, April 2S, the pat-
rons anel pupils met and brought
their dinners, which was spread on
the ground for all to enjoy a good
feast. It was muddy and the roads
being fresh graded made It almost
impossible to gel there but they case-

There was a short program by the
children In the afternoon, after
which Rev. It. F. Flneher of McKin-
ney, gave the graduating address and
delivered the diplomas to the seventh

Gentlemen:—Recently I had occasion to inspect for
the first time the family monument erected by you in the
Tilot Point Cemetery for Mr. A. (\ King and myself.
I was not only much pleased with the design, but
with the workmanship as well. That cemetery is known
as one of the most beautiful in the State, and of the many
styles and costly monuments, after more than an hour's
inspection. I found nothing in the entire cemetery that
pleased me quite so well.
Assuring you of my very high appreciation of the
manner in which you handled the job, I am,
Yours very truly,
(Signed)
