Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky. —
“It certainly has no equal for la grippe, bad colds, J
liver and stomach troubles. 1 firmly believe Black-Draught E
saved my little girl’s life. When she had the measles, E
they went in on her, but one good dose of Thedford’s ?
Black-Draught made them break out, and she has had no S
more trouble. I shall never be without -

Young man, don’t you think that
the old hypocrite who loves money
better than he does his God, or his
own soul, is happy with all his gold
and houses and lands be has taken
by usury and fraud from the poor.
He knows that good people, deep
down in their hearts, have only con-
tempt for kim; that his position in
church, lodge and society, is due to
I his money, and not to himaelf; that
I his children sre only waiting thedsy
when they may revel in his told;and
I the imps of hell are biding the time
they may pounce on hia soul No,
' young man, that man is more miser-
able than the poor wretches he has
ejected from shelter: and while they
may sleep sweetly, in this world and
1 the next, his soul, in time and in
1 eternity, will be disturbed by the
1 pitiful cries of helpless women and
1 children he has wronged in his life.#

A treat and noble creed-Horatias Bonar
THURSDAY, JULY 6 ,1916
So far there are no announcements
for county offices in Medina county
and the lid on county politics seems
to be holding down nicely.
“Farmer Jim" has made a success
“farming" the taxpayers—something
like the Ceasars "farmed" in ancient
Rome—at the expense of the com-
mon herd.
It is only two weeks to the State
primaries and there is hardly a polit
ical ripple on the surface here. It
takes local candidates, men you know
to warm up things, politically.
Ham ia quoted aa saying, "With a
self confessed ‘degenerate son’ of a
Methodist preacher running for gov-
ernor against a ‘card playin' Method
ist steward, two years ago, no won-
der things went wrong." This year
we have a consistent Christian ten-
tleman, a Methodist preacher's son
who honors his father's religion, hia
name is Chas. Morris, he is a banker
in business, and 1 move that we
elect him governor.
If Ferguson hadn't spent so much
of his wife’s money, $30,000. to se
cure his election two years ago, he
could now probably pay his grocery
bill, without illegally having it $250
to $300 charged up to the taxpay-
ers each month, ‘on that account—
and he could have paid that $50. a
month taken from the tax-payers to
pay for his wife's “social secretary.'’
The Robertson insurance law. as
it now stands, is a good and just
law and we shall vote for it to stand
without change. If the big life in-
surance companies, who left the
State when the law was passed,want
to come back, let them come like
they went, and pay taxes like other
people.
It is easy enough to meet the ar-
guments of the man who is controll-
Some of the brethren" are
so afraid that the" Ohio Corporation"
the Anti-Saloon-League,’' will get
them cut off from their toddies, they
unwittingly fall in with that "Mis-
ed by his stomach and not his brains souri Corporatia" with headquarters
but he has us on one point, at least, under the Anhueser Busch—the“‘Sa
there are more men with stomachs loon-League." Every one according
than there are with brains—and to his taste, as the woman said when
the women and children can't vote, she kissed the dog.

At times during the recent dry
weather, while the corn was going
to the bad, water from the big lake
was reported running down the
creeks on either side town, going to
waste: and we know there is enough
water in the big lake to have saved
the corn crop of the entire section—
60,000 acres, intended for the ditch
It has occurred to The News that
we people, directly interested, inclu
ding, Devine, Lytle, Lacoste, Natal-
ia, Pearson, and all points touched,
ought to get together, with represen-
tstives of the Irrigation Company
and of the two railroads crosaing
these lands, and form some kind of
a boosters’ league which might be of
great help in getting the thing start-
ed again. At least, it would beat
knocking.
No matter which way the gavel
falls, we shall have a“p' eacher'a boy
for governor and another for presi-
dent. The oft repeated saying that
preachers' boys are the worst" has
been refuted a thousand times. Show
me a hundred preacher's sons and 1
will show you mere honorable busi-
ness and professional men, than from
most any other similar group. Some
of them, like Jim Ferguson, go wrong
through bad influences; but the gen-
erally meet their Waterloo, reform
before it is too late, and"come clean'
in the end. We're still prayin' for
Jim.

FALSE REPORT CORRECTED
NO NEW COUNTY PROJECT
Practically every financial concern
big or little, appreciates the co-oper
ation and good will of the people of
the territory adjacent, whether it de
pends absolutely, or not; and there
ia hardly a man se poor end insignif-
icant but that his good will is worth
something—even the good will of a
dog is worth something, if you have
to pass his way very often.
America is largely made up of
people from other lands, in fact the
Indian ia about the only full blood
American in the country. We are
all hyphenated citizens with the hy-
phen’knocked out—except some raw
bloods who are so much in sympa-
thy with European degeneracy that
they can neither be loyal, or speak
kindly of governmental affairs here
and who ought to be given their peas
ports back to a “good county."
I am informed that opposition to my candidacy
for the Legislature is being urged on the ground that I
may be seeking election for the purpose of securing a
new county for Sabinal. I herewith emphatically deny
that I have any such purpose in view. In fact, I have
no axe to grind. It is my sincere purpose, if elected,
to serve the 116th District and the State of Texas faith
fully and to the best of my ability.
It is true that years ago, prior to the creation of
Real County,! did favor a new county for Sabinal and
vicinity. But the creation of Real County so altered
the situation that it is Practically an Impossibility for
a new county to be created around Sabinal without
changing the State Constitution.
I shall greatly appreciate it if my friends will do
what they can to correct the false report mentioned
above'.

The bunch that is boosting Jeff:
McLemore is the same bunch, with
few exceptione, that is knocking Cy-
clone Davis. There is method in
their madness. We have never met
either of these gentlemen; but one
of them is said to be a veteran
“booze-fighter” and the other a vet-
eran "fighter-of-booze"—one votes

other with the "Anti-Saloon-League

cal prosperity of every country, and
every part of the country, ebbs and

controls for our good, and strikes a
general average in the end.
