A good cleaning and general over-
hauling of a watch every few months
extends the life of its many complicated
parts, and enables it to perform its duty
accurately and regular. The work of
fixing a watch should be trusted to
only those of many years experience and
known to be reliable. Our repair de-
partment is in charge of an expert of
many years experience in fixing and
adjusting watches and has proven his
worth in this particular capacity.
We back our repair department
with an absolute guarantee that
work leaving it will be satisfactory

BOH TON BAXEBY.
Temple, Tex., July 1J, 1908.
To the Voters of eBll County:
The campaign for Congress is draw
iog to a close. On account of the
slie of the district 1 have been com-
pelled to spend most of my time In
the other four counties. This has
prevented me from visiting each box
and voter as I desired to do. and pre-
sent my claims to each voter per-
sonally.
My entire life has been ^pent
among my home people, and to them
I loek for hearty support in the pri-
maries. Whatever success I have at-
tained has come through the coun-
sels of my father and mother, and
from the loyalty of the people of my
native county.
1 I have always been faithful to my
clients as a civil lawyer, and have
done my duty in the defense and
prosecution of criminal cases. In all
the positions of public trust hereto-
fore so generously given me by you,
I have endeavored to faithfully per
form the duties of each office. I
promise to bring to the discharge
of the duties of Congressman the
isatne xeal, care and ability which I
| have always shown in protecting the
j interests of my clients. I want you
J to give me a chance to prosecute the
| Republican Party, and to represent
| *he Democracy.
In this campaign I have taken the
j people Into my confidence and freely
stated my views on public questions.
In doing so I have incurred the hos-
tility of the "Interests* "and they are
engaged in fighting me. Yet the
National Democracy In its platform
has endorsed nearly every position I
have taken. I have conducted a
clean campaign, without a shadow
of personal abuse. My opponent,
while refusing to discuss public mat-
ters with me, is now going over the
district abusing me peraonally, mis-
representing my position in public
matters, and failing to correctly state
his record in Congress.
The reports coming to me from my
friends over the district indicate that
I will win the nomination by a good
majority. I ask my friends to con-
tinue their efficient work for me. I
ask each friend In this county to
write to some friend of his In some
other county a letter In my behalf.
The race Is nearly over. As to
what methods will be used in an en-
deavor to turn my friends away from
me in the closing days of the cam-
paign. of course I can not say, bot
I trust that every voter la the county
will go to the polls on election day
and cast his untrammeled ballot.
Sincerely yours,
W. W. HAIR.

Horse Clothing and Mule Jewelry Temple, Texas
Tyler, Texas, July IS.—Hon.
Cone Johnson, J. M. Edwards and
thirty other well-known citiac:
of this place have issued an ad-
dress ia favor of Cov. Campbell as
follows:
• Tyler, Texas, July 14. 190S.—To
the Democracy of Smith County
The office of governor is of the very
highest Importance to the people.
They ought not to elect or assist la
electing to that office any man un
leas his abilities and qualifications
tendencies and disposition are known.
It is largely through the Governor
that needed legislation aad political
reforms are accomplished, and
through his influence, largely, are
evil laws corrected or repealed and
the destruction of good laws pre-
vented. The Democracy of Smith
County has justly earned the repu-
tation of acting on deliberation and
judgment, and for their refusal to
be swept off their feet by any
sudden movement, the object and ef-
fect of which is not thoroughly un-
derstood by them. It is largely to
this reputation for sober and de-
liberate political action that Smith
County has been able in the past
to exert a considerable influence
upon the Democratic policies of this
State. It ought not at this late day,
and as good citizens we cannot af-
ford, to become parties to such an
experiment as now proposed In the
candidacy of Mr. Williams. As-
suming that he is a good citizen, his
abilities and qualifications for the
office are practically unknown to
the people of Texas; his tendencies,
his views, his disposition, his man-
ner of thought are all largely a
matter of conjecture and speculation.
None of us know what he would do,
nor what he could do, for that mat-
ter. if he were elected.
What influences are behind his
candidacy? What interests are shel
tering themselves bedlnd his race!
There are certain interests in Texas,
which are always interested in po-
litical reaction and in the policy of
"do-nothing," and which are always
offended at reforms which have their
purpose to make these Interests con-
form to law and bear their just pro-
portion of burdens of Government,
are taking advantage of Mr. Wil-
liams' candidacy, and under the at-
tractive cry of ' few laws and better
laws" are really peeking to have
Texas to take the back track and put
Itself out of line with the laws en-
acted by Gov. Hogg and Gov. Camp-
bell and the policies advocated by
Bryan and the real Democracy of
the country.
Can we, through any sudden im-
pulse, afford to align ourselves with
a movement which may result dis-
astrously to our State and to our
party?
Much of the criticism of Gov.
Campbell grows out of the disap-
pointment of the people at his fail-
ure to take part on the Bailey Issue.
No matter what we may think his
course ought to have been In that
matter, we ought not, and can not,
afford, to let that become the basis
of our political action nor carry us
off after such an experiment in
Government aa U proposed in Wil-
liams' candidacy. Let us look be-
fore we leap.
We are not willing to rapport a
man for Governor merely on the rec-
ommendation of a few men, who
found It necessary to make a pil-
grimage to Mr. Williams' home in or-
der to look at him and size him up
and decide whether he was Guberna-
torial timber. Mr. Williams' polit-
ical record, made as a member of
the legislature, indicates that he Is
not the kind of Democrat, nor does
he entertain the views, which the
Democracy of Smith County has
heretofore approved.
He assisted in defeating consider-
ation of the' double-header" bill, a
law for the relief and protection of
railroad trainmen against danger
and death.
He opposed a bill to prevent rail-
oads from moving their shops, round-
houses and general offices from place
to place and repairing them to locate
these facilities permanently.
He voted against an appropria-
tion to establish two experimental
stations, a measure advocated and
indorsed by Texas farmers and sup-
ported by a petition ot 4,000 persons
identified with agriculture.
He voted to strike oat from the
appropriation bill the appropriation
for the Live 8tock Sanitary Commis-
sion, a measure designed for the pro-
tection of the stock-rasing industry
of Texas.
He voted to strike out the appro-
priation for the support of the Uni-
versity of Texas.
He was opposed to the resolution
which requested the Governor to
submit to die Legislature a Demo-
cratic platform demand in Us call
for an extra session ot the Twenty-
Seventh Legislature.
After all, what Is the criticism
of Gov. Campbell's administration?
It is almost entirely lor carrying out
the Democratic platform demands up-
on which platform he was nominated
aad elected Take up the laws
passed by bis Administration aad ex-
amine them, and tHey will be found
la practically every Instance, to tally
With the platform demands of the
party at Dallas. The law paased by
the Legislature, under Gov. Camp-
bell's Administration, which seems to
be the center of the opposition to
Mm, Is the fun rendition law, re-
qnrlng all property to be rendered
for tans at Its fun value. Hon is
the platform ea which Gov. Camp-
bell was nominated and elected:
"W* believe that the owners of all
which is AM exempt from
by the Ootattttffoa of (Ms
mat*. Ml he eoaveltal Is
trfbattejtheir jast apportion toward
*
efttat result we pledge
itey of Tttal to th» em
such farther laws m will 1
of all
or intangible
of those
of the nature
their aast
under the present laws escape their
just proportion of tmatlsa
The Democracy of Texas adopted
this platform and pledged Gov
Campbell and the Thirtieth Legisla-
ture to carry It out. They did so.
Are they to be crucified because they
carried out the platform on which
they were elected? Smith County Is
not In the habit of dodging responsi-
bility In that way nor of shifting
it onto the heads of Its officers
who carry out their Instructions.
It is the fault of the Democracy If
this law doss not work as it waa ex-
pected to do. The law la yet la Its
experimental state and certainly
we ought to be willing to give It a
trial and see If It will work «jut as
Gov.,Campbell and thoee who have
made It a study believe it will. Sure-
ly we jriU not help to take the Gov-
ernors political life for following
out his Instructions. The autbmatic
tax law, which regulates the 8tate
ad valorem tax. secures to the peo-
ple a reduction In the State rate
Just in proporton as the valuations
or asaeesmenta are increased. Last
year the State ad valorem tax rate
was reduced from 20 cents to IS 1-J
cents, thua giving to the people In
the reduction of the rate the bene-
fit of the Increase In valuation.
Thla year the State ad valorem rate
will be reduced to about 7 cents.
The law of course leaves with the
Commissioners' Court the fixing of
the rate for County purposes. We
can assume that the Commission-
ers' Courts elected by the people
and thoroughly conversant with the
needs ot ther counties and the
amount of money necessary to run
them, will fix the rate at such a
figure as will not raise any mors
money than is needed for the eco-
nomical administration of the coun-
ty's affairs. This is local self gov-
ernment and leaves In the hands of
the people, locally in each county,
the question of the rate for county
purposes and fixes it so that they
will get the benefit of any Increase
in valuation in a reduction of the
rate. If the law works as the Dem-
ocracy thought it would and as the
Governor and thoee who have stud
led the matter say it will, we can
see how that full rendition will
serve to equalise taxes and make
all property bear its just burden.
For instance, take a rendition of
property, at 50 cents on the dollar,
which is about the proporton of
value that has heretofore obtained,
the man owning $1,000 of property
would get It assessed at 1500. He
escapes taxes on $500 worth of prop-
erty. Take a man with $10,000 in
property, he would get it assessed
at $S,000. which is 50 cents on
the dollar. He would escape 'taxa-
tion on IS,000. They would both
have their property rendered in the
same proportion, but one man gets
a much bigger exemption than the
other. Assuming that the County
Commlasoners' of each county will
fix the rate In proportion to the as-
sessed value, you can readily see
that a full rendition would make
every man pay his*nli share of taxes,
and no one woald have any advantage
over the other. Give the law a
chance.
The platform, as appears from the
above copy of It, required the fran-
chises and Intangible assets of corpo-
rations to be taxed as other prop-
erty. This was done by the last
Legislature.
Mr. Williams seems to be in favor
of repealing the tax laws and going
back to the old method. Will he
also repeal the tax on intangible as-
sets, franchises and gross receipts?
Are not the people who are really
behind his candidacy Interested pri-
marily In the repeal of these taxes?
We had better go slow. When we
once start on the back track It will
be with great diffculty that we will
ever recover the ground lost
Without entering into any lengthy
review of the eltuatoa we desire to
call the attention of our fellow Dem-
ocrata to these views and respee-
fully request that they seriously
consider the situation and give to
these matters that serious and sober
thought which they have always
given to matters that affect them and
the people of the State. We feel
confident that you will Come to the
conclusion which we have reached,
and that is. that the proper politi-
cal course for us to pursue is to
give Gov. Campbell our support,
stand by the party platform and not
run off after an experiment, which
may result disastrously snd cause
those who engage la It to regret and
apologize for a serious political
blunder.
Do not forget those laws enacted
by the Thirtieth Legslature with
the assistance of Gov. Campbell,
which are of inestimable value to the
people, and which them who are op-
posed to his re-election toil to men-
tion. Here are some of .them:
1. Keeping of gambling houses
and exhibiting gaming devices Is
made a felony, and tie light is out
'■ a'nM*t "*ry gambling hell In
this State.
2. Rowdyism and drinking on
railroad trains Is prohibited, so that
sober people snd oar women folk
are protected from unseemly and In-
sulting conduct.
5 L«al option contests are re-
quired to be speedily settled, to the
end that the people may know what
the laws.
4. Injunctions are authorized to
enforce local option law when adop-
ted by the people.
5. Bucket shops and gambling la
cotton futures sre made a thing of
the past.

place In the State Government.

crews on railroad trains, was enacted,
lightening the labor of train opera-
ires, affording greater safety to
them and to the traveling public,
sad the hours of labor to train tele-
graph operators have been short
eaed.
Do you not approve those laws?
Do you want to see them repealed
or endaagered? If not, then we
ought to vote for Gov. Campbell.
With great respect, we remain, your
fellow-Democrats.

Mother and Child.
I aaw a beautiful living picture
the other night. It wa sthe even
lng o fthe organ recital at the Prea-
byterlan Church. I waa enjoying
the aoft mellow light of the moon
and the evening breezes. The sweet
tones from the organ, first soft and
low, sweelling louder, then tender
again, nttracted my attention and
.stopped to listen. A young mother
and her little babe sat in aabuggy
under the shadow of a spreading
tree, through whose sheltering
branches the moonbeams shone, light
lng with a soft radiance the face of
the mother and her precious babe.
The little tot waa just old enough
to lisp a few words, la that dear baby
fashion. When the notes of the or-
gan floated away Into silence, the
little child said, "Mamma, moosle
'topped." The mother caught the
little one In her srms and held it
fonudly to her breast. There was
quick response to the mother's love.
Baby caught the mother by the cheek
with both tiny, soft hands, then
kissed her, and laughed aa only an
angel just from heaven can laugh.
There waa a thrill shot through my
heart as I wltnesad this holy pic-
ture. and I believe that I am better
for having gazed upon this earthly
manifestation of the goodness and
purity of God. A baby' heart Is as
pure as a dew drop resting In,the
early morning among the petals of
the new born flower, and the heart
of the mother ia as the heart of
God. unselfish, exalted beyond com-
parison or description. How delic-
lously sweet must be the clinging
arms of an Infant, as they press the
neck ot mother, the tiny heart beat-
ing with trust and confidence, eyes
looking into eyes with a faith that
is unparallelled and a love Incom-
parable.—Cleburne Enterprise.
