The rapidly growing popularity and subsequent increased
demand for the FISK IIEAVY TIRES among automobile own-
ers has resulted in our placing in stock a well selected assort-
ment of these goods, which we offer for sale at the regular
established prices.
We warn to call your attention to the FISK PURE GUM
GREY TUBE, and invite your inspection at our plaee of busi-
ness. It is made of the finest Brazilian rubber, 97 per cent pure.
This tube is guaranteed by the manufacturer to be free from
stretching and thinning. The proof of tire service is in the use
thereof. Fisk gives more miles for the money than any other
tire on the market.

For the past several yeara a strenu-
ous effort has been made by press and
public to warn the people of the dan-
gers of a strenuous Fourth of July,
and the indiscriminate use of toy can-
nons. pistols and fireworks, and as a
result the number of accidents attend-
ing the usual celebrations over the
country has been materially decreased.
This is as it should be, and we would

Woodrow Wilson has secured the
democratic nomination for the Presi-
dency, and that he was successful in
Securing it Is due In a large part to
<he magnificent political ability of one
4BMU0, and that one man is William
-Jennings Bryan
No ono can successfully deny this.
Of course there are many who dis-
like Mr. Bryan, and who accuse him of
^political heresy, say he is too radi-
seal, and various other things, but
. When they are asked to point out one
■thing that he haH ever done that was
not clean and aliovc board politically,
■'they can’t do it. * |

When they won out on the face of the

because the people at home rallied to

■UUkt of the Clark managers.
Gene Jehnson of Texas hit the key-
note whom he said it was “Bryan
* against the basses,” and Bryan won. It
'was <raly a magnificent victory, han-
‘-dled in a masterful manner, and much
•mt the credit is due the Texas delega-
■Mw, who stood firm, like the Rock of

It is to be hoped that the Demo-
cratic leaders will rally to the sup-
port of the New Jersey man and help
.put him across a winner in November.

This magnificent victory was not a
question of men. nor was it a ques-
tion of measures, altogether.
It was a question of whether or not
the predatory interests should be per-
mitted to control the convention and
secure a nominee and platform satis-
factory to them, that they might the
further continue their depredations in
debauching the representatives of this
Republic, and through them lillch the

expires in January 1913, and John L.
Wortham, of Harris county whose term
also expires in January 1913, by rea-
son of constitutional limitation on ap-
pointments. Allison Mayfield, it will
be seen has four years to serve and of
course is not a candidate. Mr. Wil-
liams has no opponent, and is running
for the full term of six years. Mr.
Wortham is a candidate to complete
the unexpired term of two years to
which he was appointed. Against him
J. C. Mason of Lamar county, Theodore

Allison Mayfield, are running. It seems
that some people have confused the
two Mayfields. Commissioner Mayfield
is a man of perhaps fifty-five years of
