Barry Miller Spoke
Here Wednesday
Hardly Mentions Tom Love—Denounces Repub- j
licans and Asks That All Democrats Remain
Faithful to Party and Support Smith.
Lieutenant Governor Barry Miller
hardly made reference to Tom Love,
who withdrew from the race Tuesday,
in his address here Wednesday aft-
ernoon which was to have been his
opening address in his campaign for
re-election. After reviewing some
things of a local nature he reverted
to the national campaign, and urged
a united democracy this fall In sup-
port of Governor Alfred E. Smith.
Gov. Miller was introduced by Judge
Chas. D. Berry in the big tabernacle
where the union revival is being held.
Mr. Miller expressed his appreciation
lor the loyal support Delta County
people had accorded him in other i
campaigns and renewed his pledge of,
loyal service. He said he would op- |
pose any raise in State taxes, which ;
are now at the breaking point, and j
so high people can hardly afford to l
own a home. He said he favored j
provision so that every child in Texas
oould have a high school education
at public expense and that he had
favored the provision for $15.00 appor-

TOM LOVE
QUITS RACE
DALLAS, Aug. 14.—State Senator
Thomas B. Love of Dallas, recogniz-
ed leader of Texas Democratic forces
opposed to Allred E. Smith, today an-
nounced his withdrawal from the race
for Lieutenant Governor of Texas.
As the result, Lieutenant Governor
Barry Miller, for re-election, will be
the only candidate on the ballot in
the August 25 primary.
Informed of Love's action. Miller
declined to make a statement. Other
than an expression of curiosity as to
whether.. Love had “jumped on” him
In his statement. Miller apparently
was little Interested.
Names of both Love and Miller were
certified for places on the primary
ballot by the State Democratic execu-
tive oommittee at its meeting yester-
day at San Antonio
In announcing withdrawal Love said
In part:
"I believe it most improbable that
I can overcome the substantial lead
of my opponent and obtain a ma-
jority of votes in the run-off primary:
that to further continue the contest
would serve no useful purpose, but
would result in a waste of time and
effort and zeal on part of my friends
Which ought to be utilized in defeat-
ing A1 Smith in November.”

Mr. and Mrs. Will Reed and daugh-
ter, Mies Tommy, of Snyder and Mrs.
Vernon Klnard of Colorado arrived
to visit relatives In Ooop^*
tionment. He said he
to run four years ago
was drafted to run by the farmers in
convention. He said he believed two
te-ms was enough but a majority of
Texas State Senators wanted him to
run to defeat Tom Love.
“The country is confronted with the
greatest crisis since the Civil War,”
he said, “and It will be settled in No-
vember. It is the same struggle of
two major parties, as at the beginning
of the republic. The Republican par-
ty stands for centralized government
and special privileges and the Demo-
cratic party the same principles our
boys went to the battlefields to de-
fend.
“Many hatreds and bitter things are
brought in to becloud the issue.
“Farming is at low ebb in the Na-
tion, with exception of the State of
New York where conditions are bet-
ter, due to uiRderstanding aid extend-
ed by Gov. A1 Smith. There is more
idle labor In cities now than at any
other time since the war. Business
has nothing to fear from the Demo-
cratic party, which stands for equal
rights for all.
“The average citizen does not real-
ize how' far the Republican party has
i enroached upon states’ rights. It is
all rot about Smith destroying the
Eighteenth Amendment. He couldn’t
if he would. It is here to stay and
will never be changed. I never want
saloons to come back, but present con-
ditions in cities are about as bad. The
people have a right to change the
laws if they wish, but Republicans
should not win on false issues.”
He expressed the opinion that when
Democrats’ passions pass they will
vote the straight ticket in November
and said he favored the party purg-
ing itself of parties that don’t stand
hitched when the crisis come;,
A1 Smith’s religion should not be
an Issue. While he was a Catholic,
during his eight years of office he
never favored his church. His official
family is composed of 13, one of whom
is a Republican, one is a catholic, two
Jews and ten Protestants."
The Republican platform contains a
most dangerous plank which pledges
Republican Congressmen to vote for
a bill providing for trial in Federal
Court of any charged with lynching.
Such legislation will take from our
legislature the right of segregation of
negroes. Hoover has already said se-
gregation must cease In Washington.
Mr. Miller filled an appointment at
Greenville Thursday night and will
speak at Corsicana Friday night.
Lieutenant Governor Miller arrived
on the noon bus and was entertained
by a number of friends at luncheon
at Cooper Hotel. Mr. Miller has vis-
ited Cooper on several occasions and
has many warm friends and admir-
ers in Cooper and Delta County.

Pioneer Resident of
Delta County Passes
To Her Reward
Takes 12 Trains to
Take Defendants
To Their Trial
RZESZON, Galicia, Poland, Aug. 7.
—Twelve special trains were needed
today to convey to their trial 21.000
defendants in a bankruptcy suit. They
were members of the “Nuza,” a co-
operative society of Cracow which
failed. Manufacturers and wholesal-
ers, who sold supplies to the society,
held each member of It separately re-
sponsible for the debts.
The trial was held in the operi air
on the parade grounds adjoining the
barracks of the local Sapper regiment.
An immense wodden stand was erect-
ed for the Judges, attorneys and wit-
nesses, while the 21.000 defendants
were accommodated on the forty rows
of wooden benches, each 200 yards
long. Numerous megaphones and
sound amplifiers were installed to
make the testimony and speeches au-
dible to all.
Officials in charge of the unwieldy
proceedings were fearful lest demon-
strations by the defendants disrupt
the trial.

After a life filled with kindly deeds
I and industry. Mrs. Sallie Ann Jen-
j kins, wife of J. H. Jenkins, verily
I In the harness of life work almost to
t the last moment, slipped away Tues-
\ day evening at six o’clock, August 14,
at the ripe age of 83 years and ten
months. The funeral was held Wed-
nesday afternoon at the residence at
3 o’clock, conducted by Rev. J. C.
McClain, assisted by Revs. L. D. Shaw-
ver and G. W. Sanders, with inter-
ment in Oak Lawn Cemetery.
Mrs. Jenkins was born in Franklin
County. Virginia. Oct. 12. 1844. She
was married to J. H. Jenkins in 1867.
They moved with their family to Del-
ta county in 1866. She is the mother
of nine children, eight of whom sur-
vive. The children are, Harve Jen-
kins of Hardy. Va„ Mrs. N. E. Moore
of Newlan, Texas, H. C. Jenkins of
Wichita Falls. Mrs. C. C. Stewart,
Mrs. W. H. Jeter, Mrs. A. B. Whitlock,
Mrs. Ed Strickland and W. R. Jen-
kins, all of Delta County, living near
Cooper. She is survived also by 66
grandchildren and 56 great-grand-
children.
Mrs. Jenkins was converted in early
life and united with the Methodist
Church. After coming to Texas she
united with the Brushy Mound Metho-
dist Church and after moving to
Cooper she still kept her membersnip
at Brushy Mound.
Mrs. Jenkins was a home-maker,
she loved her home and family and
was self-sacrificing at all times. She
mas a true friend and neighbor and
was always willing to help in time
of need. She disapproved sin and un-
righteousness and magnified the prin-
ciples of right in a life of sacrifice and
service to others. Surely we must not
envy this mother in Israel the glory
of her reward, even though our hearts
are sad because we miss her so keenly
here.
It should be consoling that like a
ripened sheaf, she only went into
God’s rich harvest, for Mrs. Jenkins
in advanced years was able to
keep her home and was always busy.
For sixty-one years she has been a
companion to her husband.
It was but fitting that the> mound
over her should be covered with flow-
ers and her sons and daughters cov-
ered her casket with a beautiful spray
the last tribute of love they could
pay their mother.
A large number of relatives end
friends followed her remains to their
last resting place and may they be
comforted in the thought chat their
mother and grandmother is now only
resting from her labors.

Revival Continues With
Increasing Interest
A united effort for the salvation of
the people of this community con-
tinues this the second week in the
large tabernacle, and interest is in-
creasing as Christian wx>rkers are or-
ganizing to exert an influence to bring
the lost to Christ.
Evangelist Neal will preach the last
of his morning services for the week
Friday morning at each of which he
has discussed the Holy Spirit. The
fire slrene has been sounding each
morning at 9:45 and at 10 business
houses have closed fori one hour for
the service.
Large crowds are attending the
night services and though laboring
under difficulties with hoarseness Bro.
Neal has been bringing some great
messages. His throat is now better.
A call has only been made one night
and four made professions and a large
number went forward for reconsecra-
tion.
Some excellent music Is being ren-
dered by the choir under the direc-
tion of Rev. C. R. Hooten. Several
members of the orchestra are assist-
ing with their Instruments.
RURAL SCHOOL
AID FUND IS
INADEQUATE
WILL CALL UPON LEGISLA-
TURE TO MAKE UP
DEFICIENCY.
AUSTIN. Texas, Aug. 11.—The ap-
propriation of $1,500,000 did not near
meet the requirements of the new ru-
ral school ala law and it will be ne-
cessary to ask the Legislature for sup-
plemental amounts to pay obligations
incurred under the plain terms of the
act. Furthermore, it will be up to the
Legislature to supplement the $1,500,-
000 for next scholastic session to pay'
the bills occasioned by the terms of
the law, which was a radical depar-
ture from the former act.
Under the current year’s operation,
only 60 per cent of the rural trans-
portation cast has been paid by the
State, leaving a deficit of something
like $50,000 and not a dollar cf the
bonus has been paid under the law,
another account which will require ad-
ditional appropriation. The same con-
dition* will mevall next session in in-
creased Vitjot^ca use new rural school*
are being organized nearly every day.
The liabilities are growing ..11 the
while.
•<>
Four Obligations.
The new law put four obligations
on the State Board of Education, thaB
the rural schools be maintained six
months with State funds, thau indus-
trial training be Introduced in all
such scliools with a $300 maximum al-
lowance that transportation be fur-
nished rural pupils with a limit of
$300 aid from the State and that a
$500 bonus be paid each rural high
school unit. The State board fully
met the first two requirements, but
was able to pay up to 60 per cent of
its transportation and none of the
bonus. That is where the deficits
come in and are to be met by the
next Legislature.
These rural districts must have a
75c school tax to be eligible to re-
ceive State aid, but they are permit-
ted to do what they please with their
local taxes. The tax proceeds can be
used to pay higher teachers’ salaries
or it can be applied to extending the
school term beyond the six months
guaranteed by the State funds. The
local board decides that.
Several East Texas districts Insist-
ed that the State pay the teacher**
salaries agreed to by the local board,
but the State board refused to do this
because the State appropriation would
not go that far. It adopted a mix-
imum teacher schedule to fit the mon-
ey available, realizing that the sal-
aries are not what they should be,
but made necessary to guarantee the
six months term with State money.
