REPRESENTATIVE SMITH FOB
' TEXAS ON A “CASH BASIS”
1
Er
Austin, Texas, July 27.—Texas will
not only b« back on a cash basis next
year, but will remain so, in the event
the suits which are to be instituted
in Travis county to test the validity
of the text book amendment to the
constitution are successful, declared
John T. Smith, member of the legisla-
ture Thursday evening. This state-
ment was made following Smith’s an-
nouncement Thursday that he had dis-
covered 29 counties in which the text
book amendment had not be*n pub-
lished, which, it is claimed, renders
the amendment void.
The suits will be for injunction to
prevent the transfer of the $7,000,000
appropriated by the Thirty-eighth leg-
islature for supplementing the avail-
able school fund and for rural air.
Tha suit is to be instituted on behalf
of certain taxpayers.

The sodden offered assistance of
help reported today cams about, K is
■aid, by about twenty-five members
of the Ku Klux Elan, dressed in foil
regalia, traveling about over public
roads and flushing spooning parties
along certain spots believed to be safe
from the eyes of the public.
It is said that farmers have been
making complaints recently regard-
ing spooning parties along lanes and
public highways near their homes. It
is further claimed that these spooning
parties are to be broken up, especially
in public places, and the breaking up
process began Sunday evening and
was followed up Monday evening on a
larger scale.
In Munson Park it is said that when
number of figures in white ap-
proached a dark section in the park
and on approaching and asking if par-
ties in the ear needed help, a sedan
was driven off so rapidly that it was
necessary to take it to a local garage
today to have repairs made. In an-
other case, it is said, the mala member
ran so fast that his lady friend was
left behind, but wended her way safely
to the car and on toward Denison.
Fanners evidently have arranged
with klansmen to assist in breaking
up the spooning practice and if re-
ports are true the flushing of many
spooning parties last night will doubt-
less bring about the desired result as
far as the farmers are concerned.

Causes for abandonment of their
■peaking tours and the objects they
were aimed at, are entirely different
in the esses. of former President
Woodrow Wilson and President War-
ren G. Harding. Yet the announce-
ment in each instance came with such
startling suddenness as to join them
together in thought.
President Wilson started from Wash-
ington Sept. 3, 1919, on a 10,000-mile
tour to preach the gospel of the
League of Nations. He reached the
coast and* was returning East when
stricken suddenly at Wichita, Kan.,
26 days after starting out, and after
he had delivered approximately 150,-
000 words.
President Harding started on the
longest tour ever contemplated by a
chief executive. He left Washington
June 20 with the intention of making
fourteen speeches en route to the
Pacific Coast on his Alaskan trip and
five in coast cities en route home. His
Alaskan trip was cut short on account
of Mrs. Harding’s illness. He reached
Vancouver and delivered an address.
It was at Vancouver he was stricken
with ptomaine . His visit to Seattle
was abandoned, and late Sunday, on
reaching San Francisco, it was an-
nounced his remaining three dates in
San Francisco, Los Angeles and San
Diego would be canceled. The speak-
ing tour was to have ended August 4.
Two president of the United States
have died other than violent deaths
in office and three have been assas-
sinated.
Gen. William Henry Harrison of
“Tippecanoe and Tyler Too” fame,
was the first to die. He was suc-
ceeded by John Tyler. The second to
die was Gen. Zachary Taylor of Mex-
ican War fame. Millard Filmore be-
came President.
Abraham Lincoln was shot to death
in the Washington opera house during
a theatrical performance, by John
Wilkes Booth, an actor. Andrew John-
son, who arose from a tailor's bench
to high office, became President.
James A. Garfield was the second chief
executive to be assssinated. Charles
Guiteu was. executed for the crime.
Chester A. Arthur became President.
William McKinley was approached
daring the Buffalo Exposition in 1900
by a man who extended a bandaged
hand to gree the President. The “ban-
dage” contained a pistol. Czolghoz,
an archist, was the assassin of Mc-
Kinley. He was electrocuted. Theo-
dore Roosevelt succeeded McKinley as
President. Roosevelt was shot in the
breast by a fanatic in 1916 when he
and Hiram Johnson were running as
candidates on the newly formed “Bull
Moose” party ticket.
THE LAST TWO NEGROS
LEAVE HAMILTON COUNTY
August, Neil and Emil Nelson of
Crawford, accompanied by their fam-
ilies, stopped in Clifton for a short
visit Wednesday while enroute to
Jones county in their cars to spend
a few days visiting friends in that
section of the state.
H. W. Hering was called to Bren-
ham the firct of The week on account
of the death of his aged father.
It was a pitiful sight to see “Uncle
Alex” and “Aunt Morn,” old negroes,
■t the same time make their last foot
prints on Hamilton County soil, es-
pecially to the people of Gentry’s Mill
community. '
“Unde Alex” has for recent yearr
been the entertainer of many young
people on Saturday afternoons from
far and near. He could tell many
thrilling Indian and cowboy stories.
“Aunt Morn” the pitiful old woman,
was quaint and interesting' to see, if
nothing more. But now we have heard
our last “good old true Indian story”"
from “Uncle Alex.”
These two old darkies were the
slaves of the late Fred Gentry, “Uncle
Alex” being 82 years old, and “Aunt
Morn” 90 years old.
Soon after the Civil War when the
negroes were freed, Uncle Alex and
Aunt Morn preempted them a home
two and one-half miles north of Gen-
try’s Mill, and have lived there all
the time until early last winter. On
account of advanced age, bad health
of the two, they were moved over to
the Mill. This was done so that they
could be seen after better by the
people of the community. Still their
health did not improve any, but kept
growing worse. There was no one
here to see after these old invalids
as they should be cared for. It was
decided by some one of this commun-
ity to take them to West, Texas, 18
miles north of Waco. They were ac-
companied there by Pete Fuqua and
John Rhodes in a car. They made the
trip Friday, July 20. Uncle Alex and
Aunt Morn stood the trip well, as old
as they were, just complaining very
little when they arrived there.
Pete said, “it was a pitiful sight
when these old darkies met their sis-
ter whom they had not seen in sixty
years.”
May these two poor old negroe.
slaves be cared for well by their rel-
atives during their few remaining-
days.—Hamilton Herald-Record.
Rev. Tee. Lend has returned from*
northern Minnesota, where he went
on business for the church and to visit
relatives. He left Mrs. Lerud andJ
the children up there for a longer
visit
L. T. Torrence of Cross Plains vis-
ited home folks last week.

Children grow up, but photo-

those mothers who have por-
traits that recoid for ail time
the ever-changing sweetness of
youth.
One never regrets th«r expendi-
ture for a good portrait. There
is no better time than now to
have them made.
