O.a ;he 25th day of July the
Democratic electors of ('ass
county will be called upon for
the first time to select <*i County
Superintendent of Public In-
struction. I desire to submit
my name to the voters for that
position.
In doing so I have no erifci- \
cism for the administration of
that t*xceUenfc ge n t i eman, Prof.
M. G. Bates who is now holding
the office by appointment from
the Commissioners' Court; but
believing myself to be compe-
tent and deeming the position
one of honor and knowing the
people have a right, to choose
whom they will are some of the
m'otives which cause me to as
pire to the position.
I was born in Cass county
and reared on a farm. Attend-
ed the public schools at Dojg
lassvilly, OTarrell and Cedar
Grove. Since becoming a teach
or, I hav'e bsen chosen without
making application as teacher
in the last two m 4 n ti o n o d
schools. After teaching two
years I attended the Sam Hous-
ton Normal Institute the ses-
sions 189o-'06 and lS96-'07,
graduating from that Institu-
tion in 1897. Since graduating
I have for the past two years
been actively engaged in teach-
ing in the Public Schools at
Vivian, La.
I have always taken a deep
interest in the Public Schools
I understand Something of their
needs. If elected I shall use my
best endeavors to the faithful
discharge of the duties of that
important office. I solicit and
shall appreciate your support.
Very truly yours,
J. B. Henderson, Jr.

Infants and children are con
siantly needing a laxative. It
is important to know what to
give them. Their stomach and
bowels are not strong enough
for salts, purgative waoers or
cathartic pills, powders or tab-
lets. Give them a mild, pleas-
ant laxative tonic like Dr. Cald-
well's Syrup Pepsin. It is the
one great remedy for you to
have in the house to give child-
ren when they need it. It is
absolutely guaranteed to do
what is claimed, and if you want
to try it before buying, send
your address for a free sample
