SUPERINTENDENT OF BROWN-
WOOD SCHOOLS TO LEAVE.
GOES TO WICHITA FALLS
After Nine Years of Sen Ice Superin-
tendent Carprnter Accepts An-
other Place.
Superintendent G. H. Carpenter this
morning tendered his resignation as
Superintendent of the Brownwood
Schools to the School Board and the
resignation was accepted. Jn tender-
ing the resignation the superintend-
ent stated that without solicitation
on his part the school board at Wich-
ita Falls had offered him a similar
position in the schools of that city at
an attractive increase in salary that
the place offered better opportuni-
ties but that he would not consider
it unless the board here would agree
to release him from his contract. He
asked for an immediate answer and
the board agreed to release him stat-
ing however that it was with the ut-
most regret that the relations were
severed. It will probably be several
days before a successor to Prof. Car-
penter is. elected. The Board already
has some applications but will act
with careful deliberation for the best
interest of the schools.
Prof. Carpenter came to the Brown-
wood stihools nine years ago. and
since coming here has built up one
j of the best systems of public schools
I anywhere in the state bringing about
i him an excellent corps ' of faith'ful
i teachers. He has also established an
; enviable reputation as a superinten-
dent that has attracted the atten-'
j tion of the best schools of the state
and that secured the tempting offer
that induces him to leave Brownwood.
No man has ever endeared himself
more closely to Brownwood people
than has Prof. Carpenter and he will
be greatly missed in the schools and !
by the entire citizenship who appre- -
j date him as a teacher and as a man.
His good wife will also he missed for
she has been prominently identified i
with the church and social work of f
the town and has all the people of
the town for her friends.
Wichita Falls is to he congratulat
ed on securing such excellent people
as citizens and the schools there are
fortunate indeed In obtaining the ser-
vices of Prof. Carpenter. Brown-
wood really envies Wichita Falls her
good luck.

BROWNWOOD LOSING OUT
Says Fanners Resent Treatment and
Belleies They Ought to Be
Conciliated.
To the Business Men of Brownwood:
I have something to say to you and
hardly know where to begin. If as
in former days I was a .member of
the Bulletin staff and could talk to
you through my old "go-between"
Col. Doolittle there would be slight

my scruples and'' say what is on my
mind. Please read the following
sentence and consider it carefully:
The residents in the rural districts
comprising Hronmrood's trade tcrri-
tory are to use- street parlance sore
on Brownwood. Please digest the full
meaning of that statement. Don't con-
sider for a moment but that the state-
ment is tme in its entirety. I win
walk down the street with any com-
mittee of business men and ask the
first ten farmers that we happen to
meet as to the truth of this state-
ment and their replies will convince
the most skeptical.
Do you realize what this .means? If
a town has not the good will and sup-
port of Its rural communities what
foundation has it for future growth?
Unless we can ameliorate thh C063I
Hon what's the use . trying to build
a town? Nearly every vide awake
business man in this city has heard
rumors of this condition and many of
us know much of the inside of the
situation and still we sit supinely
by like a bunch of boys and hope that
the natural course of events will do
for us what we ought to be up and
doing ourselves.
Do you know that there is a wide-
spreadv sentiment among the people
of the country that Brownwood is
"short." All of you are familiar
enough with the slang of the day to
grasp the meaning of that curt ex-
pression For Instance the rural peo-
ple say that Bangs May Blanket
Zephyr and other smaller towns an-
nually give big picnics and invite the
entire country to attend and bring
well filled baskets. They say that
on each occasion Brownwood sendF
from one hundred to three hundred
representatives who bring nothing
.but a handshake and an appetite and
in many cases the people who take
the big baskets to the picnics are
forced to go home hungry because the
city neighbor had to be fed. That
seems a small matter but tho princi-
ple involved Is at the foundation of
hospitality and the oft-repeated prac-
tice Is beginning to got on tho nerves
of the hospitably inclined people.

ADDRESSED AUDIENCE AT COURT
HOUSE AT POUR O'CLOCK.
FAVORS RAMSEY'S CANDIOACY
Says That He is Fighting Tor Princi-
ples and Not 3Ten and Urges
Action.
Through some misunderstanding at
Ramsey Headquarters in Dallas there
was some confusion as to just when
Dr. S. P. Brooks would speak in
Brownwood. He was announced for
several different dates and finally a
message was received that he would
speak here on Saturday at 4 o'clock.
This came too late for announcement
in the papers and so the only publi-
city given to the hour was through
some circulars distributed Saturday
about noon. Two or three hundred
people gathered to hear- him. Most
of them were Ramsey supporters
though there were a few Colquitt men
in the audience.
Dr. Brooks after being introduced
by County Chairman J. H. Grove be-
gan by saying that while he did not
expect war to bo made on this coun-
try by an foreign foe not being in
I sympathy with Hqbson's fears still
snouiu invasion oo maue oy a roreign
country. It would be done according
to International regulations' the peo-
ple would know whom were to fight
and the rules o.f warfare. In such a
war he would deem it his duty to
volunteer just as he is a volunteer
In this battle that is now on. In this
fight he said the people are con-
fronted with an1 insidious outside
enemy whose resources are unknown
and cannot be ascertained the fight
is not according to any rules -hut it
is just as certainly a fight against the
homes of the country as would be a
war conducted by any foreign coun-
try. He stated that in'all other mat-
ters of local- elections the people are
left to settle their differences as best
they may without outside interference.
but whererer the 'prohibition of liquor
is involved an apparently unlimited
"influenco" is brought to bear from
some source outside the state that;
all other laws are enforced by the
people without outside suggestion but.
that in every county where the liquor
question is irp this same outside en
emy is to 'be found.
"They refuse to tell who this out
side enemy Is that is fighting our
Ieople and our homes and Jake Wol-
ters declares that he will Tot before
he will disclose their names or the
amount of their contributions but we
do know that they are fighting behind
Wolters and Colquitt so there is no-
thing for us to do but to fight these
representatives of the enemies of our
homes" he "declared. "If it were
merely Ramsey and Colquitt f I would
be at homo attending to my work
thero" he said "but there Is a prin-
ciple Involved in which every loyal
Texan should be interested and un
pleasant as it may be I propose to
fight under such circumstances."
Along this line he talked for about an
hour emphasizing the fact that in
fighting Colquitt he was fighting the
liquor Interests for which he charged
that Colquitt Is the representative in
this state. He urged all home loving
temperance loving people to vote for
Ramsey. He declared Colquitt's "politi-
cal peace and rest platform" as mean-
ing peace and rest for the liquor and
brewery Interests and trouble and
turmoit for everything else and gave
hearty endorsement to the progressive
movement in the Democratic party
which be said stands for growth
whilo the reactionary sentiment
stands for decay and death. He de-
cleared that Colquitt and W'olters are
not In sympathy with the progressive
'policies of the day but ' would sit
by and see the people die that if leg-
islature rest is but assured teh liquor
and 'brewery interests. Ho urged the
people to turn out Saturday and cast
their "ballots for tho men all along
the lino who are known to be backed
by these interests In Texas.
He was given closest attention and
was frequently applauded throughout
his address. He is a forceful speaker
and nt times becomes eloquent as he
speaks for-what ho regards the rights
of the people.
I resolved that like the sun. so
long as my day lasted I would look
on the bright side of everything
