No Election Will be
Held in Archer County
25 Years Given in
Wilson Case
No prohibition election will be
held in Archer county in the
near future, the petition for
such an election being withdrawn
after it was found that there not
enough signatures of qualified
voters attached. It is under-
stood another effort will be made
for an election later in the year.
The Archer News says:
“A petition bearing 268 names
was presented on Tuesday to the
commissioners court asking for
prohibition election. After a
careful comparison with the poll
list1 it was found by the court
that 21 signers to the petition
were not qualified voters. Sev-
eral of those, declared not eligi-
ble on the petition were young
men not yet 21. years of age, but
having exemption certificates
showing that they would be 21
years old before the election
could be held.
‘ The law requires 250 signa-
tures and when the men in
charge of the petition were in-
formed that it contained the
Twenty-five years in the peni-
tentiary is the punishment facing
Jay Wilson, seventeen year old
Clay county school boy for the
killing of Prof. J. G. Wright of
Newport last January. A ver-
dict of guilty, fixing that term of
imprisonment, was returned by
the jury in the case at Henrietta
Saturday morning.
The boy heard the verdict read
with unflinching stoicism, not
seeming to realize what it meant,
but his parents were heart bro-
ken.
Wright was killed in the school
room at Newport, Clay county,
as he was advancing toward the
boy to rebuke him for a remark
the youth had made. Wilson,
according to the testimony,
warned the teacher not to come
nearer him, then drew the pistol
snapped it at Wright, and the
latter grappled with him. The
weapon was then discharged. ,
The plea was self defense.
Wilson testifying that he had
heard of threats alleged to have
been made by the teacher. He
said he had taken the gun to
school to trade it. The shooting
followed the discovery by the
teacher that the boy had turned
in an examination paper not in
his own handwriting. He re-
proved the boy, and threatened
to inform Wilson’s parents. The
boy replied that “he didn’t guess
anybody would care,” whereupon
Wright, telling him “not to get
too smart” advanced toward him
Then came the shooting.
Wilson was represented by R.
E. Taylor of Henrietta and H. F
Weldon of Bowie. District At-
torney Leslie Humphrey and
Attorneys Wantland and Parish
of Henrietta conducted the pros-
ecution; the case was one of the
hardest fought that Clay county
has seen in some time.
Steps for a new trial were at
once inaugurated by the defense
and the case will be taken to the
I higher court. While it is pend-
j ing there the boy must remain
in jail, as appeal bond cannot be
! made where the sentence exceeds
fifteen years. Wilson’s people
are prominent residents of the
southern part of Clay county.

TESTED AND PROVEN
There is a Heap of Solace in Being
Able to Depend Upon a Well-
Earned Reputation
For months Olney readers
have seen the constant expres-
sion of praise for Doan’s Kidney
Pills, and read about the good
work they have done in this
locality. What other remedy
ever produced such convincing
proof of merit?
Mrs. J. J. Pike, 1300 Scott
Ave., Wichita Falls, Texas.,
says: “I have no objection to
stating that I have used Doan’s
Kidney Pills on different oc-
casions, as I have needed them
They always give prompt results
and I am satisfied that they are
a dependable kidney medicine.
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy
—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the

ers, they withdrew the petition
without action on it by the court
and will doubtless secure more
signers and present same to the
court at some future time.
“We understand the men in
charge of the petition yielded to
the stated opinion of the court
that the election should not be
called until after harvest in order
that all voters might have a bet-
ter chance to go to the polls and
give a true test of whether the
majority want the county wet or
dry.”—Wichita Daily Times.

Ambition
If you would rise above the throng
And seek the crown of fame,
You must do more than drift
along
And merely play the game.
Whatever path your feet may
tread,
Whatever be your quest.
The only way to get ahead
Is striving for the best.
’Tis pot enough to wish to do
A day’s toil fairly well;
If you would rise to glory, you
Must hunger to excel.
The boy who has the proper stuff
Goes into every test,
Not seeking to be 1 ‘good enough”
But eager to be “best. ”
Aim high! And though you fail
today
And may tomorrow fail,
Keep pounding steadily away,
Some day you’ll hit the nail
At no half-way mark ever pause
In snug content to rest,
Who would win honor and ap-
plause
Must want to be the best.
The best must be your aim in
life
The best in sport or work,
Success in any form of strife
Falls never to the shirk,
The crowns of leadership are few,
The followers move in throngs
If you would be a leader, you
Must shun the “drift alongs.”
