should be made Immediately upon
completing your organization. Re-
member "it's the early bird that
catches the worm.”
A last minute contact should also
be made the day, or night, before
the election. This latter contact
la for the purpose of reminding
voters that the election will be on
the morrow, and that the only ob-
stacle to Texas rolling up more
than a million democratic votes
will be their failure to go to the
polls. We respectively recommend
to you a "Oo-to-the Polls” rally on
the night before the election.”

Progress Continues
The water works system begun
In Mr. Alford's regime was com-
pleted in that of Mr. Harris, ac-
cording to Mr. Hayford who has
closely watched Improvements of
this kind throughout the years.
Other progressive movements dur-
ing Mr. Harris' ten years in office
include general street Improve-
ments, construction of sidewalks
and terracing of lawns; beginning
of an adequate sewage system and
securing proposals for its construc-
tion; establishment of time clocks
and employment of a night watch-
man; regulation of sanitation con-
ditions and passage of regulatory
ordinances. It was during Mr.
Harris' administration that the nu-
cleus of Henderson's present fire
department was established with
the purchase of two trained fire
horses, a hook and ladder truck
(and Jess Gibbons) from the Long-
view Fire Department. Street
lights for the city were also author-
ized during Mr. Harris' term in of-
fice.
Dr. C. A. Deason became Hen-
derson’s next mayor in 1924, ac-
cording to Mr. Rayford. It was dur-
ing his short term of office, 1924
25, that Henderson's paving pro-
gram was completed. Other civic
Improvements started in previous
administfations were continued
throughout Dr. Deason’s period of
office.

Rogers Regime
O. S. Rogers, who gained his
first experience as an aiderman un-
der the administration of Mr. Har-
ris, became Henderson’s mayor in
1926 and has served since that
time. The improvements launch-
ed and completed during the last
six years need no elaboration, for
they are self-evident to every citi-
zen who has been Interested in
Henderson’s progress. Among these
Improvements Is the enlargement
of the city water works plant,
brought about by a fuel oil engine,
two deep artesian wells and a new
260,000 gallon water tank. The
fire department was enlarged and
improved by Mayor Rogers, and
this, along with the Improved wa-
ter works, did much to bring down
to 30 cents Henderson’s key rate
for fire insurance. The key rate
was 98 cents when the water works
was established during Mr. Alford’s
term, and has Steadily been de-
creased until the present day.
During Mayor Rogers 6-year
term of office, the streets have
been properly market! and houses
numbered. A White way has been
installed, a milk ordinance passed
and many other improvements
made. Problems arising before
the city council due to the discov-
ery of oil in this section have been
excellently handled.
Kyo To Economy
The Improvements herein enum
erated, beginning with the first
mayor, have ail been favored by
Mr. Rayford—the city treasury’s
watchdog— provided they wero ex-
ecuted with an eye to economy and
with as small cost as possible to bo
of a high standard. Duo in a large
measure to the watchfulness of Mr.
Rayford, Henderson’s total indebt-
edness amounts to only $120,000—
a very small amount for a city of
this size and a record of which ev-
ery citizen should be proud. Mr.
Rayford's progressive spirit may
be said to be guided by a conserva-
tism in spending that would be a
benefit to many cities now deeply
in debt.
In few Instances does one man
servo a city as long as Mr. Ray-
ford has served Henderson. If
the hours he has spent during the
past 20 years in helping work out
the destiny of Henderson were add-
ed together, it would be quite an
item of time in any man's life. Un-
selfishly giving of his time at all
occasions when needed, Mr. Ray-
ford has never failed to respond tc
any call which was made to him —
no doubt neglecting other duties at
the time.
Although Mr. Rayford has not
announced whether or not he will
seek office the next term, or the
next, the public can be sure that
the "Watchdog's” conservatism
and Henderson's resulting freedom
from large indebtedness will con-
tinue as long as he is in office
This the gentleman himself admits
and those who are familiar with his
work for the city know.

Innocence Claimed
Davenport denies he fired tho fa-
tal shot. York was shot to death
While standing in front of a win-
<lpw. The assassin fired from the
darkness and before pursuit could
be started he had made good his es-
cape.
Sheriff W. L. McMurray and De-
puty Sheriff Homer Gary arrested
Davenport shortly after the killing
and he has been in the Rusk coun-
ty Jail since. He will be defended
by Attorney T. A. Rath, Louie
Wolfe and Charley Williams.
It is understood that the shot-
gun used In the slaying will figure
prominently in the trial of the case.
The officers located tho weapon
several days after the shooting.
