Herbart Haldeman, 20, was in-
stantly killed Sunday night at
9:00 o’clock when hit by an auto-
mobile driven by D. O. Hall, sec-
tion foreman for the B.-R. I. R. Ri
at Newby, at a point on highway
75 about four miles north of Buf-
falo. The accident was unavoid-
able. Mr. Hall picked up the
body, and Haldefnan’s companion,
Walter Oliphant, and brought
them to Teague.
The youth was killed instantly
on the side of , the pavement when
two wheels of the car passed over
his head at high speed. His par-
nets, Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Halde-
man, employees of the Shell Co.
in Houston were summoned and
arrived about four hours later.
The body was prepared by Ham
Mortuary Service and shipped to
Houston on the Short Line Flyer.
The two boys had gone from
Houston to Dallas Friday where
Haldeman, a student of Aeronau-
tical engineering, purchased a
plane, and were attempting to-
hitch hike home. They had not
slept since Thursday night, spend-
ing Saturday night on
street in South Dallas trying to
get a ride south. Late in the
afternoon they caught a ride to
Dev;, -where they were put out
about sundown or a little before.
They walked down the highway
still trying to flag a ride until
they became exhausted, and sat
down on the west side of the
pavement to rest, still trying to

asleep, and Haldeman, next to the
highway, leaned over on the pave-
ment in his sleep. The Chronicle
interviewed Oliphant and the par-
ents. The former said he was
awakened by the blinding flash
of the lights of two cars about
to meet opposite them. But before
he ’could realize it they passed
at that point, and Haldeman had
been hit. The car returned, he
said, and brought the two boys
to Teague.
Haldeman was an employ of the
Shell and both boys had cars and
money enough to have made the
trip easily, but elected to get the
thrill of thumbing their way, in
which they got bad breaks. Hitch-
hiking has been brought into bad
repute, and is becoming more and
more unpopular on account of
thugs and ' cut throats resorting
to such tactics to stop travelers.
All- six of the proposed consti-
tutional amendments carried in
the two Teague voting boxes Mon-
day l?y majorities of nearly four
to one, when the citizens showed
Holn.cL y'lf'al liTdifferone- by casting an
extremely light vote ‘on a rainy
day.
Box No. 1 voted 54 ballots and
No. 2 polled a total of 52. About
the largest opposing vote for any
of the amendments in either box
was the- unlucky number 13.
In the State, however, the
amendments did not fair so unan-
imously affirmative, one of them,
that regarding the' method of pay-
prerirotr|- ‘
officials, was swamped by the
large counties where it was con-
sidered the salary system was
mast economical.)"
The above information regard-
ing the state is based upon early
returns, but the differences were
so large it seemed improbable they
would be overcome.
NEGRO LOSES LEG
IN FIRST HIGHWAY 179
ACCIDENT SATURDAY
Blaine (Crap) Brown, 35 year
old negor, driving home in his
wagon Saturday night from
Teague where he had brought a
bale of cotton, was hit by an au-
tomobile driven by Edward Crow-
sen of Wortham, the impact de-
molishing the wagon, car and kill-
ing one of the mules and injuring
Blaine so seriously that a leg had
to be amputated at Davidspji’s
Sanitarium and he died Tuesday.
The Negro was just about (to
reach the side road where he
would turn off to his home north
of the highway.
Mr. Crowson, who s a lumber
traveling salesman, had three
negroes in the car withhirn, but
none of the occupants were in-
jured. It is understood he made
a settlement for damages with the
injured negro.

HARDING GRANDCHILD
DIES IN OKLAHOMA;
BURIED IN FAIRFIELD
Little Margaret Eloise Short,
six year old granddaughter of
District Clerk and Mrs. J. H.
Harding, died at her home in Hol-
lis, Oklahoma, from an attack of
infantile paralysis. Burial was in
Fairfield cemetery at 6:00 o’clock
Friday evening. The baby was
the daughter of Mr. and Mr*.
Mark Short.
A brother of the child, Frisco
Whalen, also had the malady.
Mr. and Mrs. Harding and Mr.
and Mrs. Mark Whalen went to
Hollis and accompanied the party
to Fairfield.
Mrs. Herman Adamson and
children are visiting in Oklahoma.
A WORD FOR LONG STAPLE
COTTON.
The Bureau of Agricultural
Economics of the United State:
Department of Agriculture has
compiled a table showing the
lengths of staple and the grades
of cotton grown in Texas. They
have divided the State into eleven
districts fflr this purpose. Free-
stone County is located |in Dis-
trict No. 8 with thirty other
Northeast Texas Counties.
Thus far this season District
No. 8 shows to have 23.5 per cent
of its staple shorter than % inch,
37.4 percent % and 29|32 inch;
and 34.1 percent 16|i6 and_ 31|32.
As a comparison, District 9, just
South of District No. 8 shows to
have only .2 percent (shorter than
1/t inch; 10.1 percent % and ‘29 32
inch; and 45.7 percent 15(16 and
31|32 inch.
The nearest approach that any
district makes toward competing
with District No. 8 for short
staple cotton is District No. 4 in
Southwest Texas which- has 8.6
percent staple shorter than % inch
This still leaves our home district
with 15 percent more short staple
cotton than any other districi in
the state. Is there any wonder
then that we cannot get the bet-
ter price for our cotton that some
areas are getting? Last week 50
bales of long staple cotton pro-
duced by one farmer in this Coun-
ty sold for 100 points^ (or a cent
a pound) above the market price.
Think of what it would mean to
the farmers of Freestone County
if all the cotton sold this year
brought 1 cent above the market
{irice. A 15,000 bale crpp would
mean $75,000 or almost as much
as the government paid Freestone
County farmers for participation
in the Agricultural Conservation
Program last year. Surely this
is a way that farmers could help
themselves in addition to the help
being given by the Farm Pro-
grams.

... NOTICE.
In the compilation of names
to add to the Chronicle’s mak-
ing list for the duration of
this pen and pencil award
period, it is quite possible
that errors have been made.
Some families may have been
omitted; others may be get-
ting two papers.
If you know of- a house-
hold m the Teague territory
that failed to get this week’s
Chronicle, the management
would appreciate your calling
or writing a postcard to that
effect. If your family hap-
pened to get two copies,
notice of that would also
be appreciated.
The Chronicle.
Mrs. J. B. Hearne and her
mother, Mrs. Carter, of Galyaaton,
will spend the week-end with Mr.

day they will all go to Austin to
see Milbra Hearne get his degree.
Senator Black is in his ii»n per-
son the very embodiment of the
principles and polic es initiated by
Mr. Roosevelt which have come to
be known collectively by the term
“New Deal;” and the Democratic
revolt in Congress has been
against the political philosophy
which the New Deal symbolizes
more than against the President-'"
personally.
Senator Black haa not been a.
mere follower of the Administra-
tion. JHe is a sincere believer
not only in the objectives of the
New Deal but in its methods. ..He -
is cooiuthor of the Black-C«nn#ry
bill for Federal regulation of
hours and wages of labor. He
was the original proponent of the
30-hour work week. He has been
the ardent, aggressive advocate of
many measures which are con-
sidered radical, and the supporter,
from conviction, of most of the
New Deal legislation which the
Supremfc„£sSMrtT~^ now
becomes a membei-7' has held to
be beyond the Constitutional au-
thority of Congress to enact.
It was “Smart” politics on the
President’s part to name a Sena-
tor for the Supreme Court vacan-
cy, for the tradition of “Senator-
ial courtesy” insured his confirma-
tion, even thougn for once the
Senate did not act immediately*:
but listened to protests by its
own members against the eleva-
tion of one of their own number
to the Supreme Court.
The Senate did, in a sense, in-
vite the President to pick a Sen-
ator for the Court vacancy, when
it “nominated” Senator Robinson
immediately after Justice Van
Devanter’s retirement. Senator
Robinson died, but the implies^
tion wa3 clear that a Senator
would ■ be accepted^ by the Senate
when another man of the type
v.-hich the President desired to
have in the Supreme Court would
not be. Hence ttop-mominatfon of
Senator Black.
Party Split Broadens
The criticism of this appoint-
ment by Democratic Senators
gave further proof that the split
lieween the President and a c-on^
siderablc segment of his own
party is wide and deep, as the
members of Congress start home
tu have it out with their constit-
uents. The passage of time and
the things they hear from the
folks back home may change the
attitude ,ot some of those who are
at present hopping mad. Those
who are most Seriously concerned
are the “old-line Demi>crats” from
the South.
They are concerned about num-
erous tendencies which they be-
lieve will handicap the progress
of the South and infringe upon
the rights of the Southern states
tc look after problems which they
regard as peculiarly their own.
They are afraid of Federal regu-
lation of hours and wages, be-
lieving that it will put the ’ South
at a disadvantage in its efforts
to build up new industries.
They, or many of tjiem, were
engaged by- the renewal, in the
last days of the session, to put
o.ver the anti-lynching bill. They
have Been behind the Administra- \
tion, up to this yhaf, by reason of
their ingrained tradition of party
loyalty, and they still retain that
loyalty to the Democratic Party,
but protest that it is the New
Deal which is disloyal, not them-
selves.
Republicans Planning for 1940
A bitter fight for control of
the party at the 1940 Presidential
