Just a. reminder — Dan Paw-

down from College Station for
a two day Entomology Course
on April 25th and 26th. The class
will fne-et. from 7 to 10 p.m. at
tfoe junior High School in Sin-
tqp. The class is limited to 50

call Sinton, Emerson 4-2334 and

ly be the best thing that coijld
happen to a farmer.
Already the aphid or lice have
built up bad enough to damage
cotton. “Pete” Thyssen of Ma-
this has at least 100 lice per
cotton plant.
Another thing that the experts
are afraid of is that the boll
weevil will start early this year
and will stay late. Every weevilT
you kill in early season contipl
means 3000 less weevil at pick-
ing time. (The dam things are
worse than rabbits.)
Speaking of the boll weevil—
Cliff Boyles of Sinton brought
in some full grown weevils the
other day. He also brought in-
their winter home —Spanish
Moss. It appears that moss on
trees is the ideal home. While
he was at the office he pulled
apart a clump of moss and out
walked three grown boll
weevils.
So pull up your cinch strap
fellows, open up your pocket-
book, and let’s get on with the
war.

BILL FLY
CHALLENGES HIS
OPPONENT, BILL PATMAN. TO PERSO NAU Y
DEBATE THE ISSUES IN THE RACE FOR
STATE SENATOR
So far, Patman has refused. Instead ~ fin anced by his in-laws, Labor Bosses, outfitted
with s crew of ghost writers and mud sling ers, and led by radicals and left-wingers
from outside the district — he has engaged in the most expensive and meanest cam-
paign ever waged by a State Senate candidate.
I'
It Is time for Patman to get off his cash cushion, to come out from behind the ghost-
/
written half truths, and to discuss the real issues of this campaign publicly, openly, and
for himself.
BILL FLY has invited Patman to meet him at the following times and places so that
you, the people, can see and compare the candidates, their views, and their attitudes.
FRIDAY, APRIL 22
9 a.m., Cuero courthouse
10:30 a.nu, Yorktown post office
1 p.m., Karnes City Courthouse
2:30 p.m., Kenedy Advance office

10 a.m. Woodsboro square
11:30 a.m., Sinton courthouse

BILL FLY will be there. He always has stood on ’ Vi own two feet — and always will
as a campaigner and as your State Senator.

Association meeting held Mon-

cause the germs to build an
immunity to the three most ef-
fective drugs used in the proper
treatment of the disase. In this
case .the disease becomes in-
curable in that patient, and he
warned that one infected ,by
germs from a patient with the

All’s Well —
Through about thirty years
past, the agitation- of the slavery
question has been steadily in-
creasing in violence and inten-
sity. It has served several of
the churches into Northern and
Southern sections — it has caus-
ed the old party issues to be lost
sight of, and the new anti-slav-
ery party has followed up on
other parties except the demo-
cratic and this party is now
agitating nothing but the ques-
tion of slavery. The violence of
this anti-slavery hostility to the
South has destroyed the constitu-
Mrs. G.eorge Stone and son
of Waco, Mr. and Mrs. Bill
Hobbs and children of San An-
tonio, and Mr. and Mrs. Rex
Rouse and family of Corpus
Christi spent Easter with Mr.
and Mrs. Hobert Rouse and fam-
ily.
tional guarantees for the institu-
tion — has caused an annual loss
of thousands of slaves by under-
ground railroad operations — is
threatening to prohibit slave
trade altogether within the states
of the South and is rapidly aboli-
tioning the border slave states
until several of them are . now
sending delegates to the Black
Republican convention at Chic-
ago.
But with all these facts before
us, still there are those among
us who continually cry out “all
is well” and that the only dan-
ger we have to fear is frqm
those among ourselves who warn
the people of the South of the
impending danger and not from
the Northern Abolitionists.
FROM CENTERVILLE TIMES:
It may not be amiss to recom-
mend the news to the patronage
of ail, Houston as well as anti-
Houston men; for we hate the
hidebound principle of refusing
to read a paper because it
doesn’t agree with one’s political
opinion.
Mateo Sanchaz, who has been
a prisoner here for several
weeks and who was second in
command to Cortinas died last
night and thereby prevented the
trouble of being hanged.
FROM THE BOSTON POST
“In many places (in the South)
large shoe manufactories have
been recently started. If the
present state of things continues,
we shall soon see the number
greatly increased and more than
probably our own northeast work
men will soon look to the South
to carry them on. In fact jt is
not improbable that if the Black
Republicans raids continue .and
Seward or someone qf that fac-
tion- shall be elected President,
a large portion of our own best
Northeast shoe makers will go
South. Could not some of those
engaged in the shoe business in
Galveston start a manufactory
here and invite the strikers to
come here and work at their
business. We think they could
get better wages and be speed-
ily cured of their abolitionism
at the same time.
