Houston, Oct. 14.—E. A. Berry,
chairman of the State Democratic
Evecutive Committee, has received
the following telegram from former
Senator Charles A. Culberson:
“I understand there is a well or-
ganized effort over the state on the
part of some dissatisfied Democrats,
aided by the Republicans, to defeat
out state ticket and to greatly reduce
the usual majority for our national
ticket. While the Democratic pri-
maries usually settle our contests in
Texas, making it unnecessary for
Democrats to vote in the general
eleciton, the present situation ren-
ders it imperative that the party
should poll its full strength on Nov-
ember 4. In my judgment it is the
clear duty of Democrats to support
.the straight ticket, both state and
national, including Mrs. Ferguson,
our nominee for governor. It will
not do for Texas, the banner Demo-
cratic state of the Union, to hesitate
•or falter in this party emergency.”
Fred Cook has five negro cotton
pickers who are gathering in the dol-
lars while the sun shines. On Wed-
nesday of last week the five picked
2464 pounds of cotton, for which
they received $1.75 a hundred.
Following are the pickers and the
amount they picked: Fred Jackson
and wife, 997; Jesse Jones and wife,
960, and Lige Bowen, 507 pounds.
The two couples each received al-
most $17.50 for the day’s work, and
Jones’ day’s work netted him a little
over $8.75.
The farmer works twelve months
to make a cotton crop, and the cot-
ton picker comes along and gets
about one-fourth for picking it.
Bailey Montgomery, son of Mrs.
V. H. Montgomery of this place, was
severely burned about the face, neck, play the Coopei1 high school
hands and on the back in an oil fire
at Dallas Monday afternoon. The
fire was at the Clayco Gasoline Co.
plant, by which company Bailey is
employed. He was near an oil tank
when it exploded, throwing the burn-
ing fluid over him. Bailey is in a
sanitarium at Dallas, and reports
from his mother, who is at - his bed-
side, are that his condition is
considered serious.
Washington, Oct. 14.—Worry ov-
■er financial difficulties involving
real estate transactions, combined
with ill health, is assigned by close
friends as the capse for Senator
Frank Brandegee of Connecticut,
killing himself here early Tuesday.
The body of the 60-year-cld Sen-
ator was found in an unused room in
the upper floor of his spacious resi-
dence this morning by his secretary,
W. Don Lundy, and chauffeur, Geo.
Jones. They were directed to the
room by a note left on his bed which
.gave no motive, however, for the act.
A tube attached to an open gas jet
was in the hand of Mr. Brandegee,
who lay fully dressed on the floor.

(From The Slaton Times.)
The people of Slaton doubtless do
not realize the importance of the
Slaton Wholesale Grocery Company,
presided over as owner and manager
by W. B. Hestand. The Times edi-
tor had occasion to visit this firm
Wednesday morning and we were
much surprised at the magnitude of
the enterprise. He found a whole-
sale grocery concern that would be a
credit to our larger cities. We are
quite sure that Lubbock has nothing
to compare with this firm in point of
magnitude and assortment of stock.
The stock under normal conditions
will run above $35,000. It compris-
es the highest grade of merchandise
and a man can find most anything he
wants at this place—from sugar by
the hundred pounds to lead pencils.
The building containing the stock
is a splendid brick, situated on the
Santa Fe at the turn of the highway
going north. It is large and spaci-
ous, with basement. We consider
the Slaton Wholesale Grocery Com-
pany a very distinct asset for the
town and should be liberally patron-
ized by all local merchants.—Slaton
Times.
A farm house on the Jim Cooper
farm in the Orangeville community
was destroyed by fire Wednesday
about 12:30 o’clock. J. D. Harris,
who lived in the house, lost all of his
household goods and a few hundred
pounds of seed cotton, which was
stored in the building,
ance was carried on

W. J- Bryan will leave tonight for
I.os Angeles, Cal., where he will
spend a short vacation period. Mrs.
Bryan and children are visiting her
parents at Rogers.
Elder W. N. Carter preached at
the Church of Christ at Wolfe City
last Saturday evening, Sunday
morning and evening. He reports
two additions to the church at the
close of the services Sunday.
Last Sunday- was a beautiful day,
but there was a falling off both in
the congregation and the Sunday
school from the previous Sunday.
How good the Lord has been and is
to this section of the country. He
has literally poured out his blessings
upon the pepole, and none more so
than upon the people of White-
wright. And now what shall we
render unto the Lord for all his ben-
efits? Certainly not by staying
away from the Sunday school and by
neglecting the holy hour of worship.
Here is His warning word for every
one of us now: “Beware that thou
forget not the Lord thy God, in not
keeping His commandments, His
judgments, and His statutes, lest
thou hast eaten and full, and hast
built goodly houses and dwelt there-
in, and when thy herds and thy
flocks multiply, and thy silver and
thy gold is multiplied, and all that
thou hast is multiplied, then thine
heart be lifted up, and thou forget
the Lord thy God—and thou say in
thine heart, My power and the might
of mine hand hath gotten me this
wealth. But thou shalt remember
the Lord thy God; for it is He that
giveth thee power to get wealth,
that He may establish His covenant
which He sware unto thy fathers.
And it shall be, if thou do at all for-
get the Lord thy God, and walk after
other gods and serve them, I testify
against you this day that ye shall
surely perish.”
Were words ever more timely or
full of graver warning than these
from the Old Book? Remember
“That whatsoever things were writ-
ten aforetime were written for our
learning.” Let us read, beware, and
and remember the Lord our God.
Herein is our wisdom, our power and
our security. Forget Him, leave
Him out of our plans, and it will be
the time of our folly and the day of
His judgmnet.
Our services aie at 10 and 11 a.
m., the Unions at 5 and 6 p. m., and
evening worship at 7 p. m. You are
heartily welcome. God bless you.—
G. M. McNeilly, Pastor.
Florence, Italy, Oct. 14.—Deputy

Borelli, editor of the Nazione, fought
a duel with swords today as the re-
sult of a political dispute. The dep-

■ LA once during the encounter, at the
end of which the combatants remain-
ed unreconciled.
The Whitewright Chamber of
Commerce is putting on a big free
rodeo as a special attraction for
Third Monday Trades Day next Mon-
day. The Badgett-Everheart aggre-
gation of riders, ropers, bulldoggers
and specialists in other feature
stunts will present the entertainment
on a much largei’ scale than has been
heretofore attempted. The rodeo
will be held at the baseball park be-
ginning at, 2 :30 o’clock Monday aft-
ernoon and will be free to every-
body.
Mrs. J. A. Evans of Little Rock,
Ark., spent the past week here with
Mrs. Joe Carter and other friends.
Mrs. Evans will be remembered by
many as the wife of Prof. J. A.

Sherman, Oct. 12.—J. B. Stuart,
residing at 817 West Chestnut street,
Denison, member of a switching crew
of the Katy engaged at work in the
local yards, sustained a badly injur-
ed right leg as a result of a boxcar
derailing and turning over in South
Sherman.
Stuart was riding atop the car
when it turned over. The accident
occurred on South Branch St., near
the Sherman Oil Mill. A defective
rail caused the car, loaded with corn,
to leave the track. Stuart was taken
to Sherman Hospital.
Springfield, Ill., Oct. 14.—A
pledge to bolt the Democratic vparty
if “when two years have gone by we
have been as false to our promises as
other men have been,” was brought
to the Illinois capital today by John
W. Davis,. Democratic candidate for
President.
Davis first voiced his pledge dur-
ing his swing through the State this
afternoon. In address from the rear
platform of his special car at Mat-
toon, at the peroration of an attack
on official corruption, Davis urged
Independent voters to align them-
selves with t|ie Democrats as a “pro-
test against the abuse of power by
those in authority at the Nation’s
capital.
“And if when four years have
elapsed,” he declared, “if when two
years have gone by we have been as
false to our promises as other men
have been; if corruption again has
raised its ugly head and thrown it-
self into the conduct of your Gov-
ernment, then speaking for myself as
an American citizen, I not only shall
not invoke your further suffrage but
I shall recommend to you as Ameri-
can citizens, that you repeat your
vote of protest and condemnation
against the party in power.”
Davis entered the State
bringing an open prediction that the
Democratic ticket would carry Indi-
ana, in which he has just
two days of campaigning.
The Democratic nominee’s itiner-
ary in Illinois called for a series of
brief rear platform addresses and a
more extended speech at Mattoon.
He will close his drive‘with a speech
at East St. Louis Saturday.
The same day he will make an ad-
dress at St. Louis and then will
swing southeast into Kentucky and
Tennessee.
In his rear platform addresses, Da-
vis made “honesty in government”
his chief issue. He varied previous
denunciation of the Washington
scandals by centering his heaviest
fire on former Attorney General
Harry M. Daugherty. In this con-
nection he denounced the indictment
Biard, j of Senator Burton K. Wheeler, the
| Progressive vice- presidential candi-
' date as the “blackest crime” com-
mitted in the recent scandals. He
even went further by defending
Whfeeler against the indictment.
“We Democrats offer the Ameri-
can people a government of common
honesty, honest from top to bottom,
from the highest office!- down to the
lowest employee,” Davis said. “And
we insist that political parties be held
responsible for the dishonest acts
committed while they are in power.
“We also offer a government of
common justice that knows neither
rich nor poor, high nor low, but
treats rill citizens as equals before an
equal law. We propose also a gov-
ernment of common courage which
is not afraid tp make up its mind and
has the courage then to declare
positions.”

Fort Worth, Oct. 8.—Texas ranks
44th in per capita state and local ex-
penditures for all public purposes, in-
cluding schools aq,d state and local
government. Texas ranks 37th in
per capita state and local expendi-
tures for all forms of public educa-
tion. These facts have just been
made public by Dr. George A. Works,
director of the Texas School Survey.
He stated that the averages are based
on the total population, and they in-
clude 48 states and the District of
Columbia.
For all public purposes, including
all forms of public education, Texas
spends $19.42 per capita, ranking
44th. Nevada ranks first with an
expenditure of $102.26, and Ala-
bama last with $12.13. For all forms
of public education, Texas spends
$8.41 per capita, ranking 37th. Mon-
tana leads with $24.46, and Kentuc-
ky is last with $4.36.
These facts, said Dr. Works, justi-
fy the conclusion that Texas main-
tains an inexpensive public service,
including schools and state and local j tor
government, as compared to her sis-
ter states.
The second section of his report
deals with the funds being spent on
public elementary and high schools,
exclusively, according to Dr. Works.
Details in this show that in its per
capita expenditures for public ele-
mentary arid high schools, T^exas
ranks 37th, the amount' per person
being $7.32. Montana leads in this
respect with $22.33 per capita, while
Mississippi is lowest with $3.54.
Texas gives $3.64 out of state tax-
es to the public elementary and high
schools, taking in this respect 10th
place. Neveda leads again with
$7.51, while Florida is.last with 70
cents. But Texas is far down the line
in respect to local taxes spent on ed-
ucation, taking rank as 43, giving on-
ly an average of $2.77. Montana
leads here with $17.64, and Missis-
sippi is last with $1.72. In the per-
centage of the total revenues for pro-
viding for elementary and high
schools that comes from the state, as
contrasted with local sources, Texas
ranks first. There is no state in
which a larger proportion of the rev-
enues for these schools comes from
state treasury. But Texas is the
lowest in the nation in the proportion
of expense of providing for elemen-
tary and high schools borne by
local communities.

tresses as good as new. Make your

Washington, Oct. 15.—Loyalty to
the Democratic party and all its
nominees, county, State and Nation-
al, was Tuesday night urged upon
the Democracy of Texas in a signed
statement issued by Senator Morris
Sheppard in which he declares that
Democratic success in the coming
election is essential to our economic
well-being and the preservation of
quality and fair play in American
life.
A Democratic victory at the polls,
Senator Sheppard points out, means
the immediate submission to the
American people of the question of
our membership in the League of
Nations, which he characterizes as
the “most effective safeguard”
against another world war.
Stronghold of Democracy.
The country looks upon Texas as
the stronghold of the Democratic
party, he asserts, and failure of the
party in that State to rally solidly
behind its candidates would be re-
flected in other States in which the
Democrats look to Texas for leader-
ship. He urges that those Demo-
crats, whose choice in the primaries
failed of nomination, lay aside any
personal feelings which they may
have as a result, and give the candi-
dates who have been selected “the
biggest majority ever known.”
integration and chaos will result, he
warns, if those who did not support
a nominee are free to desert the
party.

When last seen alive yes-
terday by his secretary and chauf-
feur, they said he appeared in the
best of spirits and health. He was at
home alone Monday night.
Mr. Brandegee was the senior
member of the Senate from his State
and in his nineteen years of service
there had taken ari active part in the
leadership of the Republican party.
He was chairman of the Judiciary
■Committee and one of the leaders, of
the Foreign Relations Committee.
His death, coupled with that of
Senator Colt of Rhode Island, re-
cently, cut the Republican member-
ship in the Senate to forty-nine, a
bare majority. It is expected, how-
ever, both seats will be filled before
Congress meets again in December
for the short term.
Opposed League of Nations.
The most conspicuous part played
by Mr. Brandegee in, recent years
was in the League of Nations 'fight.
Taking a position from the start
with the irreconcilable opponents of
the Versailles treaty, he . threw the
powerful weight of his forensic abil-
ity against the treaty and the league
covenant during the long Senate de-
bate and latei’ at the Chicago Repub-
lican convention in 1920 was one of
those irreconcilables who laid down
before party leaders a virtual threat
to leave the ranks of Republicanism
unless the national platform contain-
ed a provision which would uphold
the Republican Senators opposed to
ratification.

The Ladies Aid Society of the Cen-
tral Christian Church presented
Miss Gladys Ray in a recital at the
grammar school auditorium last Fri-
day evening. Miss Ray was assisted
by Misses Chenoweth, Roberts and
Everheart. The program was thor-
oughly enjoyed by those present, and
Miss Ray received many compliments
for the excellent program. She is a
talented entertainer and the people
of Whitewright are always glad of an
opportunity to attend one of her
programs. The following program
was given:
Short-story: The Very Lilac One.
Poetry: East is West.
One-act play: Bird’s Nest.
B. F. Blanton, who will be <
years old next Armistice Day, has
unique Masonic record. He took the
first degree in Masonry 45 years
ago, the second degree about 40
years ago, and the third degree Mon-
day night of this week. The occa-
sion brought out a large attendance
of members and a number of visitors
from neighboring lodges. At the
close of the ceremonies, refresh-
ments of ice cream and cake were
served.
Pivotal Struggle
“The Democratic party is engaged
in one of the pivotal struggles of
American history—a struggle that
not only affects the happiness, free-
dom and welfare of the American
people, but to a serious degree the
peace of the world,” declared Sena-
tor Sheppard in his statement. “If
the Democratic party is successful at
this election, it will mean an immedi-
ate submission to the American peo-
ple of the question of American
membership in the League of Na-
Another earth-wide war may
mean the death of civilization. Am-
erican membership in the league is
the most effective safeguard' against
such a disaster.
“Furthermore, the reversion of
this country to the domination of .
vicious and avaricious special inter-
ests since the Republican return to
power in 1921 makes Democratic
success essential to our economic
well-being, and to the preservation
of equality and fair play in Ameri-
can life.
In this battle foi' the people and
for world peace it is necessary that
every Democrat remain loyal and
true to party standards and party
nominees.
Need Unbroken Front.
“It is imperative that we present
an aggressive and unbroken front in
precinct, county, State and Nation.
Especially is such a course demanded
in Texas, a historic stronghold* of the
Democratic party. Should a break
or division in our lines occur there
our prestige will be impaired and the
future usefulness of the party fun-
damentally injured to the detriment
of our country and the world.
“In the primaries every Democrat
is afforded an opportunity to express
his or her personal preference. If
after the result is disclosed those
who did not support a nominee are
to desert the party, disintegration
and chaos will follow.
“The Republican party in bringing
about the rejection of the League of
Nations and restoring the reign of
privilege in the United States has
done more to injure humanity than
can be calculated.
Urges Support of Nominees.
“How can any Texas Democrat
give aid and comfort to the enemy
by breaking away from the Demo-
crtic party to any extent?
“Let us rally solidly behind all our
nominees in precinct, county, State
and Nation. For the sake of the vi-
tal principles of our party let us give
Davis and Bryan in the Nation, Mrs.
Miriam Ferguson and all our other
nominees in the State the biggest
majority* ever known. Let us pre-
sent an example of that loyalty and
solidarity which has always distin-
guished the Texas Democracy and
made it a source of inspiration and
confidence to the Democracy of the
Nation.”
.Dallas, Oct. 14.—Ku Klux Klan
chapters throughout the realm of
Texas will in the future offer no in-
dorsement.as a body to candidates
for political offices, but they “will
fight as a whole any demagogues
who aspire to office,” according to a
signed statement issued in Dallas
Tuesday by A. C. Parker, exalted
cyclops of Dallas Klan No. 66.
Parker in the same statement said
the resignation of Z. E. Marvin,
grand dragon of the realm of Texas,
which will become effective Nov. 1,
has been known within klan circles
for ’six months. It is the plan of
Marvin, according to Parker, to look
after the insurance end of the klan,
dividing his time between offices in
Dallas and Kansas City.
No intimation as to who will suc-
ceed Marvin was given.
The office of great titan will be
abolished, Parker said. George K.
Butcher, titan for the North Texas
province, removes to Washington
some time this month to work direct-
ly under Dr. Hiram W. Evans, im-
perial wizard,
er publicity.
Resignation of P. D. Crawford as
corporation judge of Dallas, has giv-
en rise to belief that he will devote
his time to duties as cyclops of the
newly organized Oak Cliff klan, of tinns.
which he is to be cyclops. Crawford
announced Monday he had notified
Mayor Blaylock two weeks ago that
he would resign as soon as his suc-
cessor could be named. Crawford
said the move is to be made so he
may devote his undivided attention
to his law practice.
It is understood here- that W. A.
Childers, San Antonio . lawyer, will
succeed Maryin as grand dragon.
Childers is expected to move to Dal-
las and take ovei’ the work Nov. 1,
according to reports here.
Culberson Urges
All Democrats To
Vote Party Ticket
“OPEN ALL NIGHT” TO
BE SHOWN AT ODEON
Film fans in search of novelty in
picture plays will find it in Para
.mount’s “Open All Night,”
is coming to the Odeon Theatre next
Monday and Tuesday. The picture,
adapted by Willis Goldbeck from
several short stories by Paul Mor-
and, has for its thrilling background
the first six-day bicycle race that
was ever put on the screen.
“Open All Night” is a story of one
night in Paris—city of gay loves—
and of a cultured woman’s search
for adventure to break the monotony
of her-too civilized home life. Mar-
ried to a man who is a calm sophisti-
cate in the world of Parisian society,
she tires of his never-failing cour-
tesy and apparent indifference to
her charms. Although cultured and
a gentlewoman, her nature is close
to the elemental—the kind of nature
that would prefer brutality to indif-
ference.
She fancies her search is ended
when she meets a famous athlete
who is for the moment electrifying,
all Paris with his skill as a champion
bicycle rider in the famous Interna-
tional Bicycle Race at the Winter
Circus. Complications follow thick
and fast when her husband discovers
her infatuation for the athlete and
decides to act like a caveman himself
for a change.
Whitewright’s high school football
team, the Rangers, was scheduled to
team
here Friday of this week, but Cooper
cancelled the engagement Sunday
morning. It is presumed they heard
about the 45-0 and 64-0 scores the
Rangers ran up on the Sherman Kit-
tens and the Wolfe City Wolve£, and
decided Whitewright was too much
for them.
The local boys will have an open
date this week, said Coach Fred W.
Smith. He could have matched an-
other game, but not with a desirable
opponent, so he decided to give his
boys a rest. They have been doing
the usual training,work this week,
however, and will be in tip-top con-
dition for the Whitesboro game
there Friday of next week, and for
the game with Highland Park (Dal-
las) in Whitewright on October 31.
Whitesboro is not expected to be
a formidable opponent, since Bon-
ham defeated that team 57 to 0 last
Friday. The Highland Park game
will be a real scrap, however.
land Park defeated Garland 1 to 0
last Friday, and Garland is said to
have a strong team.
A game is also scheduled with
Bonham, to be played there, on Nov.
21. Other games are yet to be ar-
ranged.
Abilene, Texas, Oct. 14.—Two

Pacific officials. The dead are Max
Weisen, engineer, of Big Spring,
