on Prohibition.
A
From the upper deck of a Job wagon
this afternoon, John Quincy Adams,
the prohibition lecturer, delivered one
of his famous street addresses to an
Immense audience in front of Neel's
store. The lecture was one of con-
vincing argument, intersperced .with
spicy anecdotes that kept the crowd
In a roar of laughter all the time. He
stated that while be had-taeen arres
ed forty times and sri^Jail twelve
times, he had never paid a flue. l>ad
never had a lawyer, had never had a
Jury, and never given bond, but w.,s
■till in the harness putting In his be-,
licks for the cause of prohibition Mr
Adams will speak at the Aitdou e on
Sunday night, and It is safe to say
the crowd will tax the seating capac-
ity of that place.
The announcement that Prof John
Strother Humphreys has been elect-
jed president of Howard Payne Col-
lege will meet with general approv-
h! among the friends and patrons of
»{ie school. The College Board, in
sessiou last pigftt. tendered the posi-
tion >tb Prof. Humphreys and he has
accepted, and today entered upon his
dirties as head of the school Since
Prof. Hamilton's resignation the
Board has been considering a number
•ojf men for the place, but none seemed
to fit in *so well as did * Prof. Hum-
at this time seek the office of prepi
dent. but. when the Itoard offered hltu
the place, lie announced his willing-
ness to take it and do the beat he
could under the existing circuit:
stances, and the Board is only too
willlug to rest the burden of the col-
lege management upon such able
shoulders.
Prof. John S. Humphreys needs no
introduction to Brownwood people,
because he has lived long in our city
A better man for the place could not
have been found, no matter how long
