at 10 o’clock. Matters of vital im-
portance to growers will be discussed
A bottle containing two small black
beetles which have been doing consid-
erable damage to corn and cane in the
county was brought to The Champion
office this week by E. B. Strickland
of Paxton. Mr. Strickland got the
beetles from his farm, which is locat-
ed 3 miles south of Paxton.
The beetles live in the ground, and
attack the corn and cane from the
roots. The insects have done great
damage to corn and cane patches in
several localities in Shelby county,
Mr. Strickland said. The bugs
brought to this office were dug up
near the roots of corn on Mr. Strick-
land’s place.

The city is making an effort to
have all weeds cut in vacant lots and
behind residences and store buildings.
While this will improve the appear-
ance of the city greatly, it is in the
interest of health that the movement
is being inaugurated.

The cost of the trip, and the re-

Dave DuBose, 56 years of age, died
at his home near Tenaha last Wed-

county money, secured through the
sale of district road bonds, of $12,500
making a total of 44,451.04 available
for the completion of this highway.
The unfinished strip is about six
miles in length, and will be finished
.with gravel. Mr. Dillon stated that
the contract for this work would be
let as soon as the necessary papers
are forwarded to Austin,
should be in the near future.
In addition to this work, the com-
mission authorized the construction of
an under-pass under the Santa Fe
railway at Tenaha on highway 35.
The underpass and work necessary to
complete the gap in the highway here,
will cost approximately $10,000.
Half this amount was set aside by
the state as its part of the cost.

More consumers of natural gas will
have to sign the agreements with the
La-Tex gas company in order to se-
cure gas for Center, the committee in
charge of securing signers announced
this week. While the exact number
of consumers secured has not been
compiled, it is said that a considera-
ble number is needed.
Some of the streets along which gas
was to have been piped will not get
gas unless residents of these streets
sign the agreements with the compa-
ny, it is announced.
Following is the statement of the
committee:
“The gas committee report slow

Rachel Harkrider, six year old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Hark-
rider of Center, drowned Tuesday af-
ternoon while in swimming in the Red
River at a camp near Leesville, La.
Mrs. Harkrider with her two daugh-
ters were visiting in Leesville, and it
is understood from messages received
here that the family had gone to the
river to spend a week camping.
Martha Frances Harkrider was in
swimming with her smaller sister,
and was only saved from drowning
through quick work by some men who
were nearby, according to informa-
tion received here.
It is expected that funeral services
will be held in Center on Thursday
morning. Mr. Harkrider was in
Mexia at the time of the tragedy,
news of which shocked the entire
town.
Crockett Smith of the Frost-John-
son front’ held the lucky order and
won the Ford Sedan given away by
the Parker Motor company last Sat-
urday. The event drew a-large crowd
to the garage on Shelbyville street.
Laurie Daugherty shot the lucky
number. Mr. Smith was not present
when the Ford was given away, but
called later in the day for his car.
While the latter part of his life
was spent in Houston, Dr. Swearingen
iyas one of the builders of Center,
and for many years one of the most
prominent citizens of Shelby county.
Up to the time of his death he main-
tained a deep interest in the affairs
of Center and Shelby county, and
only a few weeks ago, in renewing
his subscription to The Champion
wrote of the pleasure it gave him to
read of the remarkable development
of this country.
Dr. Swearingen, in addition to tak-
ing care of his general practice here,
where for years he was one of the
leading physicians, engaged in a wide
variety of business enterprises, which
included the famous Swearingen ho-
tel. His life is closely linked with
history of the county during the per-
iod of his residence here, and he pro-
bably enjoyed a wider acquaintance
than any man of his time.
Funeral services were heldSunday
afternoon at the Baptist church, with
Rev. C. E. Dearman of that church,
and Rev. J. F. Kidd of the First
Methodist church, Center, in charge.
I Services at the grave were in charge
of the Masonic Lodge in Houston of
which Dr. Swearingen was a member.

Election Judges.
The following were named election
judges:
Center, jBirth.—J. W. Shotwell.
At the meeting of the Shelby coun-
ty democratic executive committee,
held in the office of the district clerk
Monday morning candidates for coun-
ty offices were assessed $55 each as
I their portion of the expense of hold-
ing the primary. This is one of the
highest assessments ever made in a
democratic primary, and was made
necessary through the smaller num-
ber of candidates than usual, and the
increasing expense attached to hold-
ing the primary. The two primaries
in this county will cost approximately
$2,000 this year.
Assessments levied against other
candidates were as follows:
Commissioners, $25; precinct of-
ficers, $10; cotton weighers, $10.
The committee drew the names of
state and county candidates for the
order of appearance on the official
ballot, and named election judges in
most of the precincts. In some pre-
cincts the judges will be named at a
later date.
Following is a copy of the official
ballot, with the candidates in the or-
der they will appear on the tickets in
Shelby couuty:

i'ble for a voter to go farther to cast
his vote than was the case in the past.
There are 33 voting boxes in the
county at present. Four years ago
there were 28, two having been add-
ed just before the last election, and
three this year. The new boxes are
McClelland, Haley’s Store and Wilda.
The number of voting boxes deter-
mines to a great extent the cost of
holding the primaries and general
elections, and determines the fee
charged candidates for "places on the
primary ballot.
The law requires that each box
must have not less than four clerks,
and the larger boxes are forced to
employ additional help to count the
heavey vote. Thus in counties’where
the vote is light, the cost per vote is
very high, while in boxes where there
are a large number of votes, the cost
is not so great.

ty Agent C. P. Scurlock Wednesday !
