Dallas, Nov. 6.—Almost 300,
000 votes, representing incom-
plete returns from parts of
more than 60 out of 252 Texas
Counties, Wednesday indicated
that Mrs. Miriam A. Ferguson,
Democratic Nominee for gover-
nor, was maintainng her propor
tonute lead of about seven to
five over George Butte, Repub-
lican.
Her majority was 42,917 out
of 292,733 votes accounted for.
Unless additional strength is
received from the smaller pre-
cincts, her majority may not ex
ceed over 100,000, on the basis
that only slightly more than
000,000 votes poilea.
Dr. Butte, at his home in A us
tin, has refused to concede the
election to Mrs. Ferguson, ac-
cording to a statement given to
the associated press.
Mrs. Ferguson, however, is
confident that her majority will
increase.
Only scattering reports were
received Wednesday, and both
the Texas election Bureau and
the Westrn Union, which were
compiling the returns, discon-
tinued the tabulation early in
the day, believing that there
was no question as to the out-
come of the gubernatorial con-
test.
The latest incomplete count a-
vailable gave Mrs. Ferguson
107,825 votes and Dr. Butte
124,908.

Mrs. Fred H. Wright of Mer-
cedes, who as M:ss Nannie Mer
Buck, was well known to many
of the teachers attending insti-
tute sends a message in refei
ence to the safety of the nation
from smuggled narcotic drugs.
Ihe Federation of Womens'
Uubs, representing the P. T. A.
among others, is giving reques
ted publicity to the Interna-
tional effort of government to
suppress the overproduction of
drugs which gives rise to the
present abuse in the United
States. Petitions to be presen-
ted to the International Confer
ence on Opium which meets in
Geneva in November, leaflets,
letters and many other methods
are being used to give state-
wide publicity, and Texas is
now in the lead in this work for
the freedom of the addict. The
support of the teachers of the
state is needed to strengthen
the program. To make the work
more effective, enabling the
Federation of Clubs to inform
from a nonsuggestive angle the
greatest number of persons of
all races and ages an auxiliary
financing board was formed and
Mrs. Wright was asked to serve
as corresponding secretary. The
Federation /of Wimen's Clubs
needs your encouragement and
support in this fight against a
filthy defipoiler of our young
and uninformed, a hyena which
slinks in the obscurity of ig-
norance and apathy. Write for
needed information and suppli-
es of literature dealing with the
campaign to the Texas anti- o-
pium publicity board, Mercedes
Texas, and send contributions
to the cause to Mrs. Fred
Hard Wright, Corr. Secy. Mer-
cedes, Texas.
America's Greatest Syndicate
Of Sin Drug Addiction
The United States uses more
narcotics than all tin- rest of
the world combined. More than]
a million addicts are now re-
cruiting an ever increasing ar-
my of victims. One addict is
good for six more. The "dope"
habit no longer belongs to the
underworld alone. Doctors, law
.vers, teachers, housewives, sch-
ool boys and girls use this soul
destroying, body wrecking drug
It's reaching for your children
and your neigiibors children.
Support all present govern-
ment measure^. ,i our district
chairman has the information
of inese meas'JKs.

HKRNICE STEVENS
Bernice Stevens, the 18-year
old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. B.
Stevens of Vernon community,
died early Saturday morning
after an illness of short dura-
tion. The remains were buried
in Hopewell Cemetery Saturday
A more extended notice of this
death will be printed in next
week's News.
The Junior department of the
Baptist Sunday school and B. Y
P. U. were given a Hallowe'en
party in the basement of the
church, Friday night Oct. 31st.
Many games were planned
but few played. It seemed that
the spooks were entirely too
full of life to tame down and
play games. All the entertain-
ing committee decided that
they were the most lively bunch
of spooks they had ever seen.
It seemed, however, they had
a wonderful time and that is
just what we planned for. They
were served by delicious punch
and ginger pudding, by the
"witch" as she told their for-
tunes. And then when we were
all played out, popcorn and pea-
nuts were passed and they all
left for home, very sorry that
Hallowe'en came just once a
year —Reporter.
and we were given the thrill
and creepy feeling of a life time
being introduced to our depart-
ed grandmother. Mrs. Louis
McK'nney had charge of the
games, and they were not only-
appropriate but very thrilling,
something doing every minute
by everyone present.
A two-course luncheon was
served by Mrs. Vance (iist and
he committee.
Braving the ghost outside, we
bid our pleasant hostess good
night and made a dash for
home.—Reporter.

Down at the McWhorter Hall
At 7:30 P. M. Hallowe'en
Mask and costume.
We responded and it being
spook night we carried our hus-
bands along. The air breathed
of witchery and we hurried a-
long to see what was in store
for us.
At the head of the stairs
stood a ghost who greeted us
with an icey handshake. We
were then ushered into a dark-
ened room. The (only light be-
ing a candle in a spook head.
We sank into a chair wonder-
ing who our costumed and mask
ed neighbor was. If you spoke
you were perhaps greeted by a
groan. When all had assembled
and we had enjoyed the fun of
finding out who each other was,
and what they represented!—
the lights were turned on and
exclamation of delight were
heard over the artistic and ap-
propriate decorations. The work
l>eing done by Mrs. Sue Martin
Mrs. Frank Steed and Mrs. Mc
Whorter.
Again the room went dark
Marjorie Ormsby and Ouida
Reed entertained with a Hal-
lowe'en party, Friday afternoon
October, 31st from 4 :30 to (i at
the home of Marjorie.
At four thirty in all direc-
tions you could see the guests
coming clad in their attractive
Hallowe'en suits, knowing in
their hearts and feeling in their
bones they were indeed, to have
a most happy time.
While waiting for all the
guests to arrive they engaged
in frolics and games of their
own, and then when all had ar-
rived a series of interesting
games were played and six pri-
zes were given. After this re-
freshments consisting of .sand-
wiches, orangeade and cake
were served. After the happy
crowd was served they were
then taken to "fishing pond,"
all were successful fishers, each
fishing from the pond an attrac
live basket filled with candy.
By this time dark was coming
fast and the guests began to
bid their hostess good night
and to try to tell them what a
wonderful time they had bad.
