BURIED 7 YEARS AGO
TODAY; STILL ALIVE
Seven years ago today Willard
Prince clipped the following article
from a Bogalusa, Ya., paper:
“The unfortunate young man, Wil-
lard Prince, whose foot was cut off in
the accident near the depot March 22
while acting as a switchman for the
Great Northern railroad, died at Char-
ity hospital in New Orleans the next
day. He was a brother of Miss Prince
who is in charge of the Bogalusa hos-
pital and the sympathy of the com
munity here is hers in her bereave-
ment c |
The young man had been employed
as a clerk at the Workingman’s
hotel.
He had just assumed his duties
as switchman this morning and while
making a coupling his foot got caught
in a cross tie, throwing him under the
cars. He was dragged a considerable
distance, breaking his collar bone
and inflicting internal injuries]
Dr. Sims and Miss Prince, the com-
pany’s surgeon took him to New Or-
leans to be operated upon, hut the
injured man could not withstand the
shock. He was buried Sunday.”

The peat few days haa been real
crowing weather and corn is being
planted right along. Gardens are
tgng looked after and the time js not
fgr away when there will be much
"garden aaas” all over the land.
Reports from Tokio, Japan, say the
failure of the fisheries and the rice
crop have produced the greatest fam-
known in that country during the
Rant century, more than 200,000 peo-
ple bqiwg in actual want and many
thousands of others feeling the pin&h

see Worth 8. Ray, present Chief Clerk

The average individual usually finds

paign when aspiring for state or na-
tional office, but Mr. Lane is always
Next November the people will elect
a new house of representatives and
one-third of the senate, and it is of
the highest importance that the dem-
ocrats should be successful in this
election. When the new congress
convenes the president will have com
pleted the first half of his term and it
would be a severe disappointment to
him to have to work with a republi
can congress during the second hair
Defeat for the party would not only
prevent the enactment of remedial
measures, but it would raise a pre-
sumption against the administration
and greatly weaken the party for the
presidential campaign of 1916. It be-
hooves every democrat, therefore, to
bestir himself and contribute his mite
toward the winning of a victory.
How can it be done? First, by the
selection of good democrats as candi-
dates. Records should be scrutinized
and the tendencies of aspirants in-
quired into. A distinction should be
drawn between the man who does
right under compulsion and the man
who does right because he wants to.
The man who has to be coerced into
the doing of that which is right is an
uncertain quantity at best and sub-
tracts from the energy of the party,
because a part of the energy of those
who are reliable has to be employed
is the persuasion of those who would
otherwise go astray. N? BMtQ bfts any
claim upon a public ofice except on
the theory that he can do better than
anyone else the work that the people
want done, and something more that,
ability is required to do the people’*
work.
In this land, where we are approach
ing more and more toward universa
education, it is not likely that a pub
lie man will lack intelligence. It it
much more difficult to determine t
man’s fundamental bias than it is t(

he now experiences as a result of the
accident recited above is a cork foot
He hasn’t said anything to us about
it, but we venture the opinion that
he feels good every time he reads his
own “death notice”-all because he
knows it isn’t so.

A new preacher, on h’s way to the
service one Sabbath evening, met a
young man whom he had seen on one
or two occasions. “Isn’t this Mr. Har-
kins?” asked the dominie, stopping
the young man and extending his
hand. “I am the new preacher, who
has just come to town.”
“Yes, sir,” replied the young nan,
returning the handshake. “I am Mr.
Harkins.”
“I have seen you several times,”
continued the pastor, “but until now
I have not had the pleasure of mak-
ing your acquaintance. I presume
that you are accustomed to divine
worship every evening?”
“Oh, yes, sir,” was the smilingT^-
sponse of the young man. “I am on
my way to see her now.”—Saturday

Clarence Ousley has made public
the outline of a pretty good platform,
while waiting for the “call” of the
"constructive democracy*’ to become
their candidate for governor. Mr.

fee depended on to pdl out a strong
platform, but the old maxim, "a chain
la no stronger than its weakest link,”

leave him “standing at the post,” is

wide prohibition. It is a handicap we

Is he proof against temptations—th<
powerful temptations—that one has to
resist when he deals with large af
fairs? Has he the moral courage to
stand alone, if need be, in the defense
of the right, or is he afraid ? The con
sdentious man, whose heart is on the
people’s side, can be trusted to deal
with questions as they arise; no other
man should be considered, no matter
how well educated or brilliant be may
be.
The democrats are now in power
not only in the nation but largely
throughout the states. This dominat-
ing position can only be retained by
the election of men who measure up
to the responsibilities imposed by
success. Let each democrat do his
duty and use h's influence toward?
the selection of those who can be
trusted. The president has done hi?
part nobly; now let the party stand
by him and uphold his hands by send
ing to the senate and the house of
representatives those upon whom he
can rely for assistance in embodying
democratic principles into legislation

Out of the dozen or more men who
have announced for the position of
Congressman-at-large to succeed the
Hen. Hatton W. Sumners of Dallas,
we believe the Hon. J. H. (Cyclone
Davis, if you please,) will be the over-
whelming choice of the people of this
immediate vicinity—not that his gov-
ernmental policies are so extremely
popular, but in his strenuous career
of near 30 years he has kept so near
the heart of the great mass of the
people and has so zealously fought for
his political Ideals that there is a
certain feeling of sympathy for him
now which is akin to love, and men
will support him who actually oppose
his principles. At least it Is so in
this county, where he was born and
grew to manhood, served as County
Judge and edited a democratic paper
before the populist party was born.
We believe the people can trust Cy-
clone Davis in congress now; we
know he is in sympathy with the
present administration, and we hope
to see old Franklin county neighbors
—old political foes, many of us—rally
to his support.—Mt Vernon Optic-

LETTER FROM ROY LAVELLE
Guantanama, Cuba,
Mar. 11, 1914.
Dear Sir:
We arrived from Tampico, Mexico
on the 15th of Feb. Had battle maneu-
vers on the way and arrived at Vera
Cruez on the 17th, where to every
one’s joy we found the first devision
of the fleet waiting to relieve us in
Mexican waters. So, on the 18th, we
established a new record for coaling
slPp, bade farewell to Mexico and her
revolution and got under way for
Guacanoybo, Cuba. Arriving there we
cleared ship for action and commenc-
ed preparations for the war torpedo
defence practice. This is a very in-
teresting game; it took place at night
and all lights about the decks were
turned out and the ships lined up in
battle fashion, traveling at a rate of
nineteen knots. Men were stationed
about the ship as lookouts and silence
was ordered about the decks. We pre-
sented a very war like appearance apd
every one’s nerves were keyed up to
suit the occasion. Midnight came
and no torpedo boats as yet had been
sighted. The moon began to sink
rapidly at this time, and we knew the
critical moment would soon arrive. At
last, when it seemed that our eyes
would stay open no longer, a rocket
was fired. This was the signal waited
for and we. knew that a torpedo boat
had been sighted. On the instant ev-
rr ry search lifht flashed Its beam
along the horizon and away off at two
points off our starboard bow we
sighted the whole floalilla of torpedo
boats, making every effort to get out
of our range. They had lost due to our
vigilence—we had won the sham bat-
tle.
Secure was sounded. We came to
anchor and the order was passed,
turn into your hammocks,” but it
was not carried out. The excitement
over, we were too sleepy to move and
uhoroughly exhausted, dropped about
the decks and I, for one did not move
until six bells (seven o’clock) when
service was sounded in the morning.
hat day we got up anchor and steam-
ed along easily down to Guntanams
Bay. ; Yours truly,
Roy Lavelle.

HURT IN AUTO WRECK!

automobile party of four narrowly es-
caped with their lives when the driver
J. W. Mullen, ran the auto into a ditch
Saturday morning about five miles
out from Fort Worth on the Fort
Worth-Dal las pike, to avoid running;
over a little child who crossed the
road immediately in front of the car.
J. W. Mullen was pinned under the
car and his back injured. He was
knocked unconscious. Miss Virgie
Dowers, Miss Irene May and F. L. Tal-
ly were severely shaken up.
The automobile in which they were
riding was badly torn up. The party
returned to Fort Worth on an Inter-
