iestroyed the crops, forced the
farmer to sell the place back to
him at $60 per acre. Mr. Fergu-
son poses as a friend of the farm-
er and as proof the records show
that he charged them 20 per cent
interest and a dollar a bale for
selling their cotton, whether he
sold it or not.
Col. Ball is accused by Fergu-
son of participating in the divi-
dends of the Houston Club, and in
(iirect contradiction, the following
affidavit properly executed, shows
conclusively that the Ferguson
element has abandoned all pre-
tense of using truth as a basis for
their attacks:
^personally appeared C. D.
Erwin, who on oath states that he
manager and accountant for the
Houston Club of Houston, Texas,
and he further states that on Feb.
28,1914, he was manager and ac-
countant for said Club. He fur-
ther states that the Houston Club
was operated for the twelve
months ending Feb.28,1914, at a
loss of $4,837.13, that the surplus
shown in the last annual state-
ment of the Houston Club consist-
ed in the main of furniture, fix-
rres, supplies, etc , this surplus
:i;g derived from the imtiation
r e of the members of the1 Hous-
on Club. He further states that
the Houston Club has no capital
>iock and has never at any time
said a dividend in cash, or in any
other manner.” Signed before N.
M Nagle, notary public.
PATRONIZE THE LAUNDRY.
We might truthfully say that
everyone wants Pearsall to have
a steam laundry, yet how many
of you give them your work? On-
ly a small per cent. We all want
A* . - . ;
a laundry, but want the other fel-
low to do the patronizing, so it
happens like it always -happens-
The laundry does much better
work than it did at first and de-
serves the support of all of our
citizens. As the secretary of the
Progressive League of Southwest
Texas said the other day, com-
menting on the deadness of Pear-
sall: “And what puzzles me is,
your people are so well satisfied
with conditions as they are.”

BOND ELECTION TUESDAY.
Yes, the school bond * election
comes off Tuesday and don’t you
forget it or let anyone else forget
—provided they favor the bonds.
The election will call for the is-
suance of $7,500 bonds, to bh used
in purchasing grounds, erecting a
school house for the Mexicans,
repairing the primary building
and removing an indebtedness of
something like $1,000 against tbe
high school equipment. ; Never
fear, there’s a place \ for every
penny, and Ithe man who votes
against the bonds votes against
the best interests of our town and
people.

A BIG SUNFLOWER.

have on display an 80-pound
pumpkin promised us by Slaugh-
ter Long.

“I CAN’T WMJ”
This is an absurd statement and
usually comes from one who has
done nothing but “wait” and has
nothing to show for it. Have you
a Will, or are you aft Can’t! Yon
are a professional man, because
you wilted to be a professional
man. You are a business man
because willed to be such. Did
you wait ? surely these men have
waited, but the secret of their suc-
cess is due to the fact that they
started.
Do you ffnd many business or
professional men who are renters!
No. Why? Because they have a
Will, and because they have the
determination to start.
Do you find many wage,—earn-
ers who are renters? Yes. Why?
Because they have never known a
plan like ours where they make a
start and where the going is easy.

ing loan. Others profit by i t.
