FRIDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1J
BIG MAJORITY
IN SOUTH FOR
COTTON CURB
By a majority far more than
the DrcMurjr two-third*. the
South's cotton farmors went on
record Friday (or compulsory crop
control by voting to continue the
Bankhead act in 1936.
Almost from the time the first
ballots were counted, the only
question was the size of the ma-
jority (or the legislation which
imposes a tax on cotton sold in ex-
cess of a quota fixed by the secre-
tary of agriculture.
A tabulation early Sunday
showed - 680,929 votes for contin-
uance and a puny 71,826 against
it.
Approximately 2,600,000 farm-
ers wore eligible to vote but
enough votes had been recorded to
show a trend that apparently
could not be reversed.
Secretary Wallace said the
rotes indicated that the cotton
farmers wanted the legislation
retained and promised efforts to
increase “efficiency of adminis-
tration.'' .........i ---------i-
Running Ahead In Georgia
The vote for the measure wan
running below two-thirds in only
one statfr—Oklahoma—but even
so 46,241) producers balloted for
the legislation and 20,633 against.
Governor Eugene Talmadge of
Georgia opposed the measure but
return* In his state showed 121,-
320 for and 18,630 against.
Will Clayton, ootton factor, and
others in Texas assailed the com-
pulsion. I’artial returns in the
I.one Star State werp 240,119 for
and 62,641 against
President Roosevelt endorsed
the act and thla undoubtedly had
much to do with the result.

Chrintma.* Party Given
For Sunday School Claen
The Verna Sellers Class of the
First Methodist church was enter-
tained at their annual Christmas
party last Wednesday afternoon,
the affair being held at the home
of Mrs. W. J. Oxford, 595 North
Graham street .with Mrs. Oxford,
Mra. C. O. Blakeney, Mrs. H. A.
Mothershead, Mrs. J. A. William-
son and Mrs. B. I. Trewitt host-
esses.
The home was decorated very at-
tractively in Christmas colors. A
business session was held by the
class and later a program was
given. Mrs. Alice Funkhouser and
Mrs. Hays Anderson gave musical
numbers and Mrs. Bob Pipkin
gave a reading. Christmas carol*
were also sung. After the pro-
gram, the guests were entertained
with contests and games.
The beautifully decorated Christ-
mas tree held gifts for every
guest, including members of the
Home Department of the Method-
ist Sunday School, of which the
Verna Sellers class is sponsor.
A lovely turkey menu was ser-
ved, with a salad course and holi-
day pudding topped with mounds
of whipped cream.
After the party Mrs. W. H.
Frey invited the guests to come
to her home, 693 North Graham
street, where she gave a very
beautiful program based on the
journey of the Three Wise Men to
Bethlehem to see the Christ Child,
horn there that day — now our
Christmas Day,
The invitation extended by Mrs.
Frey was given especially to the
group of elderly women who are
members of the Home Department,
and the program was presented in
their honor.
Mrs. Frey, who is a most talent-
ed artist, carved the figure* of the
Wise Men, creating a most real-
istic picture of them and their
journey on camels to Bethlehem
that first Christmas night, guided
by the one bright star that moved
ahead of them, always, until it
stood above the manger where the
Child Jesus lay.
As the scene was being present-
ed in the sun parlor at Mr*. Frey's
home, the light* were turned out
and only the one glimmering star
shone above the picture, and aa
the story was being told by Mr*.
Frey, Holy Night, Silent Night
Mr. Ward was bon in Washing
ton county in the year 1872 and
came to Erath county when he
was a small lad, fifty years ago.
He lived in the Johnsville settle-
ment until 1908 when he moved
his family to 8tepbenville to en-
gage in the gin and cotton buai-
In the year '
to Mias Sarah E. Winburne. Three
children were born to them but in
1911 a daughter, Mia# Neva Lu-
cille died, leaving two sons, J. C.
and Charles to mourn their father.
Mra. Ward also survive*, along
with a number of grandchildren
and other relatives. All were pres-
ent for the funeral services Mon-
day.
It is doubtful if any citizen of
Stephenville ever had a more sin-
cere *et of friend* than A. L.
Ward. Hi* sunny disposition and
optimistic views of life cemented
him closely to his associate*. New*
of hi* death brought sorrow to
hundreds of people in all walk* of
life In thi* city and at every point
in the county. Ward rarely ever
had anything but a cheerful word.
If he had any trouble* they were
unknown, although it was gener-
ally recognized that his health
had been a heavy strain on his de-
meanor for a period of several
years. He wa* at every turn de-
voted to his family. The comfort
and happiness of hi* family and
hi* friepds was one of hi* many
characteristic traits. No child ever
received an unkind word from A.
L. Ward.
His business career was success-
ful. As a ginner and cotton buyer
he contacted many scores of far-
mers and business men. His deal-
ings with them were at all times
above any semblance of criticisnm.
As a member of the First Bap-
tist church of Stephenville he was
deeply consecrated and took part
in all the activities of that relig-
ous organization. During the
pastorate of the late W. B. San-
sing he was ordained as a dea-
con and served In this capacity un-
til his death.
More than twelve months ago
he was stricken with a heart ail-
ment and that illness finally took
It* toll In his death. Two months
ago he was removed to Cook Me-
morial Hospital, in Fort Worth,
where his condition was thorough-
ly diagnosed and pronounced in-
curable. In the face of the know-
ledge of certain death he never
gave up the fight for life. Death
occurred at 5 o’clock Sunday
morning.
Friends of the family and bus-
iness associates of years standing
quickly responded to the comfort
of the family soon after they ar-
rived here Sunday morning from
Fort Worth. Floral offerings were
profuse, while the large auditor-
ium of the First Baptist church
was filled, all giving evidence of
the love and esteem In which he
was held. In truth and in fact, one
of the best men eve{ to live in
Erath county passed. Thousands
mourn his death and have ex-
pressed every faith in the peace
that will come to his ashes.
was played softly on the Vlctrola.
It formed a very sacred and im-
pressive picture and the program
was much appreciated by the au-
dience.
