The total per capita of the school
fund .of Texas apportioned for the
year la $6,967,361.06, or $6.86 per cap-
ita.
It is a poor investment to chew
over and rehash the pasL Nothing is
so dead as yesterday. If we have any-
thing to do, do it now, today.
Farmers have been shy of town this
week. This means they are putting
in their time nursing their big crops
and incidentally saving the country.
An ingenious spirit at Santa Anna,
California is the promoter of a new
kind of drinking fount, automatic in
its performance. All the would-be
imbiber has to do, is to put a penny
in the slot, pull down a lever and im-
mediately appears a glass of cold
filtered water. If he has no penny he
may drop in a nickel in another slot
and his change of four cents will be
returned. It provides for the money-
less man, and by pressing a button
marked "City Water”' a refreshing
glass of cold water comes hack to
him for nothing. The device Is so
arranged, there is no possibility of
fraud being practiced on the fount,
as it is endowed with discrimination,
and any substitute dropped in the slot
as smooth coin, or slugs will be re-
jected and returned.
If you stand for progress; if you
believe that the great state of Texas
ought to take care of her insane aitd
dumb and blind; if you believe that
our institutions of higher learning,
the A. & M. College, the State Uni-
versity and the School of Industrial
Arts, ought to be provided with suf-
ficient grounds and buildings to keep
them up to the standard of like in
stitutions in other states, go to the
polls tomorrow and vote for the “Edu-
cational amendment,” the one which
provides for the issuance of state
bonds, as necessity demands, for pur-
poses of purchasing additional
grounds or making improvements in
our state institutions.
Bear this fact in mind: The state
has these institutions; she MUST
take care of them, and the proposed
method of issuing bonds to cover the
necessary improvements is the
CHEAPEST WAY, and will be the
LIGHTEST BURDEN on the tax-
payers.
The aggregate appropriations ask-
ed of the Thirty-Third Legislature for
new buildings is $1,700,000./ If the
“Educational Amendment” \ is not
adopted, the Legislature will almost
be compelled to make heavy appro-
priations for our state institutions
and the tax-payers will feel the
“pinch” of increased taxes. If the
amendment carries and bonds are
issued, the cost of necessary im
provements will be distributed over
a period of from twenty to forty
years, and the burden of taxes will
be light, and, better still, part of it
will he left for the next generation to
carry as an equitable return for the
benefits we have bequeathed them.
Vote for the “Educational Amend-
ment” and eliminate the necessity
for an increase in taxes.

The expression that money don’t

our extensive Elberta orchards new
ready to divorce from their limbs the
coin of the realm, furthermore, our
very hushes (cotton, bufcbw) are tak-
ing on the prospective golden sheck-
les, and even the lowly vines (the wa-
termelon and cantaloupe) that crawl
over the ground are now making sub-
stantial money returns that cheer
and make glad the hearts of the sons
of men. -
Mrs. May Hilderbrand of Decater,
Illinois, enjoys the distinction of be-
ing the first woman to serve as a
juror in southern Illinois. The case
was against an automobile mail col-
lector charged with violating the
city traffic ordinance. The jury
found him guilty. Mrs. Hilderbrand
had five men associates with her in
this first exercise of her right to sit
in judgment on the wrongdoer. She
says she rather likes it and that she
will always vote when the time
comes.

While discussing some war remin-
iscences the other day "Uncle” Jim
K. Pierce gave utterance to a genuine
truth. In the matter of the reunion
of the old heroes on the field of
Gettysburg and the rein&cting of a
minature duplicate of (he charge oi
Pickett up that tragic hfll the pre-
pondering thought was a reunited
people and a united country. The old
•»*«
gled on this, once sanguinary 'field
clasped hands as neighbors and broth-
ers, counted over the past and tented
on the ground, and the word passed
over the nation a great time was had.
This, uncle Jim says, sounds all
right, and mighty nice, as far as it
goes, and he believes in a, spirit of
amity and a united country, but to
him there is still a fly in (the oint-
ment a barrier to a free and brother-
ly feeling between the Blue and Gray
and that is, the unjust discrimination
of pensioning the union soldier a dol-
lar a day and in lieu thereof, handing
to the Confederate warrior, now after
fifty years, the pittance of an offer
of cemented friendship..
Mr. Pierce recited the tect, that
the southern soldier returned to their
lands fifty years ago, broken in
health, to find ruined homes and scat-
tered fortunes, and on the ashes re-
built a greater and grander South
land; that today, it has outclassed
the North in fruitfulness and making
strong the financial and industrial
resources of the nation, and with all
this prosperity in the land, there
comes no relief to the men who step-
ped to the music of Dixie and follow
ed the flag of Lee and Jackson and
heire is a distinction without a differ-
ence. In conclusion, our friend was
pronounced in the belief, if we are
to have a reunited country, we are
entitled to have it right, and a square
deal for all.
The southern people are now con-
tributing to pay the enormous pen-
sions, and it is to be hoped in the
near by years the patriotic conscience
of a united democratic land will be
awakened to a full sense of duty and
pass the pension plate to all, regard-
less of whether he wore the “Blue or
Gray.”
Jack Johnson the negro pugilist, has
made good his getaway and is now
in Canada, where he is immune from
arrest. A little later his bond of thir-
ty thousand dollars will be collected
and the sentence registered against
him here will be forever a bar to his
returning to this country. Evidently
the country is rid of him for all time.
A GAME OF POLITICS.
(By Sam J. Harting.)
In a recent issue of the Gazette ap-
peared an article written by me after
a short visit to our old home in Sul-
phur Springs, where we visited old
haunts and met elf friends.
This, we thought would be our first
and last contribution, but we hare
received numerous letters from our
boyhood friends insisting that we
write more, also one from the Gazette
stating they will be glad to publish
anything more we might, offer, and
we therefore shall be glad to write
occasionally and if by chance any-
thing said shall cause any one the
least bit of pleasure we shall be amp-
ly rewarded. > SAM HARTING.
Politics has always been a peculiar
kind of game, the result thereof de-
pending largely upon the sly tactics
used by certain friends of the candi-
date. We sky always—we mean since
we can remember, which will cut a
large slice off of the “always” used,
perhaps.
One of the funniest kind of stunts
pulled off along this line happened
in Sulphur Springs some 25 years or
more ago.
A certain individual aspired to get
on the police force, many citizens
said, nu. But this individual and his
friendsMnsisted, and stated that no
better selection could be made than
...........hut that same said bunch
of citizens emphasized “nays” and
the politicians were up against it.
What was to be done? Something
had to be done and at once. The
city council was to meet in a few
nights and at that meeting this po-
liceman was to be named.
A scheme was hatched, and the
thing all' planned. Then the politi-
cians waited for the council meeting
night
It came, and the aspirant with quite
a few of his friends were on hand.
Discussions were being made pro and
con. He’s alright said some; nix said
others. The fight waged warm then
grew hot. But, listen, what’s all that?
Has war again broke out? Boom,
boom, boom ringing out on the night
breezes, and boom, boom, boom again
—something must be done; this of-
fender of the law must be apprehend-
ed. Boom, and that at once. Boom,
boom. Who can do the apprehending
act? Who among us is brave enough
to capture this desperado? No one
except........ (the aspirant). Hus-
nsprft.
here and now, and he Is shoved out
in the darkness and told to make his
“Jack”, and show ’em what he could
do, and he did.
He chased the bad man around and
round and round and round some more
and finally came hack to the coun-
cil meeting and told them he had capt-
ured the wild and wooly and no more
trouble would come from him. His
friends were elated, for they knew
they had the thing cinched, the coun-
cil voted,—and elected another man.
The next morning a fellow showed
up with one side of his jowl looking
like he had slid from the top of Fisher
Hill to the court house on that par-
ticular spot He gave as a reason
that a cow had kicked him with her
right foot and as/he went to get up
she kicked him twice more with her
other one. ^
: We happened to be on the inside of
the game however, and knew that the
facts in the case were about as fol-
lows:
This fellow in his eager desire to
help his old friend into office volun-
teered to play the “wild man” and
shoot up the night air a small lot just
at the critical time, and the other
friends were to send the would be
policeman out to make the capture.
He done the shooting, and started
to make a run—saw something that
looked like a hole of water and mak-
ing a wild leap jumped into the air
about 17 feet and landed up against a
bran new picket fence old doctor
Robertson had just put up tearing
down a few pickets and tearing up
considerable more skin on his afore-
said jaWl.
It was a disappointed bunch,
for the game didn’t work, and there
Is several in Sulphur Springs today
that will recall the old Incident now
and wender why.
We know one of the chief actors
will read this up in the Panhandle
country, and swear again as he has
often before. Never, no never poli-
tics again.

NO LOOKING BACK IN SULPHUR
SPRINGS.
New Evidence Constantly Being Pub-
lished.
Since the long succession of Sul-
phur Springs reports were first pub-
lished in the local, press there has
been no looking back. Sulphur
Springs evidence continues to pour
in, and—better still—those whose re-
ports were first published many years
ago, verify all they said in a most
hearty and unmistakable way. Read
the experience of Mr. McMullan, gro-
cer, of Main street
Says Mr. McMullan: “My principal
trouble was pain in small of my back
and when I stooped or caught cold,
night I used Doan’s . Kidney Pills
procured at Askew &- Buford’s drug
store, and do not think that there
is anything equal to them for that
complaint. 1 am just as enthusiastic
about Doan’s Kidney Pills today as I
have been in former cases, when I
have given public testimonials rec-
ommending them. The cure they made
in my case has been lasting.”

QUEER FREAK OF LIGHTNING.
Lightning plays some peculiar
tricks at times, but the reader prob-
ably, has never anything io come up
to the following, which the Mel-
bourne Age properly labels “Extra-
ordinary Incident”
/“A young man, while riding through
the timber country at Willung dur-
ing a recent storm, had a remarka-
ble escape from death in peculiar
circumstances.
“A large tree directly in front of
him was struck by lightning and split
in halves. The horse^ he was riding
becoming terrified, started to plunge
and jumped through the gap between
the halves of the tree. At that mo-
ment the halves came together with
a snap like a rabbit trap and crush-
ed off a length of the horse’s tail,
which can still be seen protruding
from the tree. The young man re-
ceived a severe shaking, but other-
wise came through the ordeal safe-
ly.”
To prevent pneumonia, a cold set-
tled in the lungs should be attended
to at once. Put 'a HERRICK’S RED
PEPPER POROUS PLASTER on the
chest and take BALLARD’S HORE-
HOUND SYRUP internally. It’s a
winning combination. Buy the dollar
size Horehound Syrup; you get a
porus plaster free with each bottle.
