THE NEXTJBOVERNOR
It “Mat’ keeps her word and ten-

ernor of Texas will be Hon. Barry
Miller of Dalian. His term of office

have the honor of addressing the

name^nd his picture will appear in
Texas histories as one who had the
honor of guiding for a time the des-
tinies of the great State of Texas.
Barry Miller has long been a
prominent figure in Texas politics.
He likes the game, and few cam-
~J Patens have passed in Texas the
l, last three decades without his voice
being heard. He was originally a
strong anti-prohibitionist, stumping
many counties in the state against
prohibition and meeting on the
stump many of the big guns of the
prohibition ranks. When Chas. A.
Culberson announced tot governor,
Miller, being a close friend, took the
stump for him. The friendship of
Culberson and Miller, formed early
in life, continued until Culberson
pasn«d away. In his campaigns for
United States Senator, Culberson
was aided by Miller, and one cam-
paign, the one against Colquitt,
Brooks and Campbell, Miller con-
ducted without Culberson’* aid or
presence, the latter remaining in
Washington. Colquitt had appointed
Miller district judge, but Miller
Would not desert his old friend to
aid one who had appointed him to
a good position. '
Mr. Miller has seen service in
both branches of . the 'Legislature,
%nd While servlngin the House add
Senat# was known as. a hard worker
*ml an able debater. Besides his
several terms in the Senato and the
House, and his two-year term as
Lieutenant Governor, he has held no
public position save That of district-
judge, Two years ago he had no
thought of becoming a candidate
for Lieutenant Governor, but when
the Farm Labor Union held It* an-
nual convention he was indorsed for
the position and entered the race.
He made a very strong campaign
against the Ku Klux Klan and won
over W. C. Edwards, a Denton edit-
or. This year he was nominated
without opposition.
Barry Miller is a fine speaker,
very strong in. debate, and Is popu-
lar personally. Should he succeed to
the governorship, he'will serve until
edrly in January and then step nut
of the executive mansion to become
Lieutenant Governor again.—Hon-*

MODERN COLLEGES
Chicago, Aug. 7.—Modern col-
leges, teaching everything from car-
pentry to chiropractic, “with the
emphasis on the doHhr.sIgn,’’ were
denounced at the Methodist camp
meeting at Des I’Jaines, 111. Bishop
Edwin Holt Hughes of Chicago de-
clared Sunday that the old classical
education, inculcating an apprecia-
tion of life, literature and art, was
superior to modern instruction,
with its emphasis on the' material.
“Canned mukic—both phono-
graphs and radios—has become more
or less of h . curse,” he asserted.
“The masses are neglecting the. mu-
sical talent with which they have
been gifted. It's so much easier to
tune tn or to start (be phonograph.

Mr. President, Ladies and Gentle-
men: Fellow Citizens of Hopkins
County: 1 am not unmindful of the
honor you have shown me on this
occasion by giving me a place on
your program at this annual Old
Settlers Reunion.
When I look into your faces, feel
t ike warm clasp of your hand, many
..{.pleasant-memories of the past well
up in my mind and 1 can truly say
with the poet:
"Breathe* there a man with soul
so dead who never unto himself
hath said, this is my own, my native
land.’’
Then it is a joy to me to be in-
troduced by my old friend Charley"
James, "the Patrick Henry of, Hop-
kins county ^dtnwocracy.” Charley
has impressed himself on me and
my memory l^i many ways. 1 uciall
doing with him on one occasion to
visit hi% best girl. We drove from
town down to Spurge Jones's house
and after- supper started to Mr.
Whatley's, am) got off the road and
wound up id the hack Side of the
farm. As it was getting pretty dark
Charley suggested we leave the
horse and buggy there and go across
the field and.in "crossing the branch
my foot slipped. I stuck in the mud
and left ode of my new low-quar-
tered shoes, t hnvg never worn low-
qunrtered yhMes since. We had a
very pleasant-time, and to him, very
profitable wait, as his home life has
proved for the'many years since
then. 1 heard Charley make a speech
at Wood Springs one night, and it,
did not exactly suit Cage and Billy
Ray. Uncle Wess Bemfefietd and
others, and they heckled him a lit
tie and he stopped and said: "You
can grunt, you can hiss if you want
to. I ain’t mad; I am not mad every
time l look ugly--1 can’t help it,"
1 have selected as a subject for
my talk on this occasion. "Hopkins
County Shew.” When 1 decided on
this as a subject l wrote a letter to
three former friends of Sulphur
Springs t.. know just how u make
the stew, and here is what they
wrote me: -
‘‘Hopkins County Stew.”
25 or 30 dove*,
1-2",poUnd salt pork,
C pod* chili’ pepper,
1-4 peek Irish potatoes,
1-4 peck onions,
3 can* corn, /
3 cans tomatoes
1-2 pound butter,
Sait to taste,
Black pepper,
Small amount Cheyenne pepper,.
.. Dress, dean doves, spit them in
half,- boil \yith hgcon (cut in small
pieces) and chili pepper for 2 1-2
hours, or until the meat begins to
leave the bones. Then add vegeta-
bles, r, butter, pepper and salt, and
cook three hours, all to hi, when the
stew should be ready to serve.
Stir constantly, after the vege-
table* have been added-, as it Is very
easy to seoreh.
Muskogee, Okla., July 30, 1926.
Friend Frank: Y<iur letter to
hand. Now, if any knowledge 1 have
of making H stew will aid you 1 #m
mare than glud to offer my assist-
ance. I enclose a little dogerel or
blank verse—use it if you like.
I well remember more than half
a century ago hearing of the stew
made of game by Capt, Frank Fin-
ney vQf Old Kentucky. He would re-
lieve thq monotony of some of the
housewives by taking the head of
the house for a day or two’s hunt,
cook this Kentucky “Bevrgoo” stew
for them. But old-timers could not
he bothered with that outlandish
name so they, just gave it a name
Of their own. and being loyal to old
Hopkins they named this foreign
chile for her and the memories of
this dcficious concoction and the
friendship* formed and tightened j
around the camp fires have lasted
with life, ami gone with her splen-
did citizenship from clime to clime.
We- all remember some time, some
where that we met with friends and
loved ones (many of them, havi-
gone over the “great divide”) and
spent the time most pleasantly
while waiting for our portion of
Hopkins county stew. Hope you ^ill
have the best tijne ever at the nhi
home-coming, 1 was there last year.
Give them my greetings and tell
them I still love them and when the
final call comes 1 am coming ba;k
to stay until the final call.
With be*’ wishes for you nnd
yours,
Your friend,
E. H, COFFEY.

Get your kindling and wood ready.
Strike your match, hold it steady.
Take a bucket and big tin cup,
Just .fill the kettle half way up.

She is -first now in the race.
