thank you. If elected I promise to serve

state further THAT ALL BUSINESS

Austin, Aug. 11.—Governor Miriam
A. Ferguson in a statement Wednes-
day declared she was in the race for
governor with all her heart.
She said Attorney Gfenrtral Dai»
Moody never had accepted the propos-
ition she made in her opening speech
at Sulphur Springs to resign if she
led him by 25,000 votes in the first
primary.
Klan Celebrating
Declaring that the Ku Klux Klan
was celebrating Moody's lead in the
first primary as a great klan victory
, Governor Ferguson eid, "my duty to
my state at this time to continue as
a candidate ia far greater than my
personal preference for private life.
God will give me courage to stand for
the right in this contest and I ask
the people everywhere to take up this
gage of battle thrown down to us by
the Ku Klux Klan and let us win a
glorious victory Aug. 28."
She declared Moody had forfeited
hi3 right to a place on thj run-off
and general election tickets becauso
of his alleged acceptance of ccntribu-
tions from Representative Lee Sat-
terwhite and R. L. Bobbett, candidat-
es for the legislature.
Jim's Proposition
Referring to her challenge to
Moody to resign, she said, "not only
did he not accept my proposition, but
he left himself in a position where he
would not be bound in case I should
have led him by 25,000 votes in the
primary. Here are his very words:
'I accept the challenge issued by Jim
in his wife's name.' In many ether
statements in the newspapers he cal-
led my proposition, 'Jim's bluff,' but
not to this good hour hac he ever said
he accepted my proposition.
"I submit to an all fair-minded peo-
ple that the acceptance of a challenge
issued by 'Jim' is not the acceptance
cf a challenge issued by 'Miriam.'
"If the vote had been in my favor
Mr. Moody had carefully worded his
reply so that he would not have been
bound and he would have immediately
said that he was only bluffing^ with
Jim."
Recovers Stolen Goods
Some time ago a quantity of mer-
chandise was stolen from the store
of O. C. Pope and at the time a ne-
gro was arrested and placed in jail at
Georgetown charged with the theft
So far it has been circumstantial. But
one day recently while Mr. L. L. Hill
was cutting his cane, the cycle ran
into a suit case containing the mer-
chandise taken from the Pope store
consisting of a suit of clothes, several
pairs of silk hosiery, shoes, etc. All
were more or less damaged from ex-
posure to the weather.

Judging in the
Better Farm Contest
Begins Monday
The judging of th» farms in the
Austin American Statesman Better
Farm Contest will begin Monday Aug-
ust the 16th. The farmers who have
sent in their cards asking that their
farms be judged will be scored by the
Williamson county committee. All
farmers who are still in this contest
should remain at home next week un-
til the committee has called and com-
pleted their scoring. AW farmers
who have failed to send in their cards
that, were sent out from Austin about
ten days ago are being dropped from
the contest. If you failed to mail
your card you had better get in the
mail no later than Saturday the 14th.
In order to faciliate the speedy jud-
ging of these farms all contestants
are asked to have the information at
hand and be ready to shov/ the comit-
tee over the farm as soon as they
show up. This is a real job and all
farmers competing are asked to co-
operate in every way posible to make
the contest a success and the judging
as easy as possible.
The better farm contest of the Aus-
tin American-Statesman is a great
move for better farming in central
Texas and their slogan of "Bust the
Barns in '26" has met with much suc-
cess, May we make the contest com-
plete by finishing up the judging In
a few days and hope that Wiliamson
county wins the grand prize for the
district.
H. T. McCOLLUM,
County Agent.
Worms Poisoned by
Granger Farmers
Hundreds of pounds of Paris green,
calcium arsenate and other poisons
are being freely used by the Granger
farmers in order to check the rav-
ages of the leaf worm, boll worm anil
other pests that are so destructive to
the cotton plant. The cotton crop
hangs in the balance rlfeht now and it
all depends whether we shall have a
good harvest or only a moderate
yield. The farmers are doing their
part in trying to check the insects
and some are working all night in
scattering the poison over the infect-
ed parts.
Granger High Opens
September 13th
At the regular monthly meeting of
the School Board, the opening of the
Granger Schools for the coming fall
