BEEN NATIVE BORN
Austin, April 2.—Candidates run-
ning for governor are proud u» an-
nounce that they are native Texans,
but in the long list of Texaa gover-
nosr and presidents only five were
born ip this state. Other states
«f the union have supplied by far
the most of this state’s chief execu-
tives. Not until James Stephen
Hogg came to the gdvahnorship did
the state have a native Texan at
its helm.
Eleven states are represented in
the birth places of Texas governors
two of them northern states. Next
to Texas, South Carolina has fur-
nished the most governors to this
commonwealth. Four were from
South Carolina, three from Virginia,
three from Georgia, one from Mas-
sachusetts, one from North Carolina,
one from Connecticut, two from
hflssissippi, two from Alabama, two
from Tennessee, one from Florida,
one from Kentucky, one from Iowa,
and five from Texas.
Governor Thomas M. Campbell in
1907, was the second native born
Texan to become governor. The Last
three governors, Ferguson, Hobby
and Neff, were born in this . state.
Governor S. W, T. Lanham, elected
in 1903, was the last confederate
veteran to occupy the chair.-
The native states of the presi-
dents and governors "were as fob-
lows: Houston, Virginia; Lamar,
Georgia; Jones, Massachusetts; Hen-
derson, North Carolina; Bell, Vir-
ginia; Pease, Connecticut; Runnels,
Mississippi; Lubbock, South Caro-
lina; Hamilton, Alabama; Throck-
morton, Tennessee; Davis, Florida;
Coke, Virginia; Hubbard, Georgia;
Roberts, South Carolina; Ireland,
Kentucky, Ross, Iowa; Hogg, Texas;
Culberson, Alabama; Sayers, Mis-
sissippi; Lanham, South Carolina;
Campbell, Texas; Colquitt, Georgia;
Ferguson, Texas; Hobby, Texas;
Neff, Texas.

MURRAY NEWS
The Leader beat us to the Murray
oil news, so we shall not repeat
what was said, but we hear that
everything looks very promising.
School is progressing very nicely,
although the attendance is not 'as
good as usual or. account of there
being several cases of measles in
the community. We have not yet
had in any school, and are trying
to prevent the disease .from spread-
ing.
The Murray Literary Society has
been postponed from time to time
on account of measles.
Quite a number of the Murray
singers attended the singing con-
vention at Proffitt Sunday and re-
port a very pleasant day and good
singing and good things to eat. The
crowd was one of the largest ever
gathered at Proffitt.
Some of the Murray people went
to Proffitt Monday night to attend
the play given by Newcastle Metho-
dist Church.
Mr and Mrs. George Mayes of
San Antonio are visiting the family
of Mr. and Mrs. George Carmack.
Mr. J. M. Wallace had the mis-
fortune to get his car turned over
last week but luckily no one was
hurt.
We understand that Mr. Jake
Hulse 'is begin work on his new
home near the blacksmith shop soon.
Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Bailes spent
the week end with their sister, Mrs.
Talvo Hulse.
Mr. A. R.^Robinson has been at
Wichita Falls serving as juror in
the Federal court for the last two
weeks.
The Murray teachers and pupils
were disappointed at not getting to
attend the county meet as they had
several pupils entered in the vari-
ous contests, but the patrons thought
it best not to attend. They thought
there was danger of getting the
measles in the school. Perhaps we
•hall have better luck next yerm.

Valeska, a beautiful girl, drops in
on him at night and demands pro-
tection from one Borolsky, agent of

gets rid of him and gives Anna
shelter. Ambrose finds an ancient
parchment in a panel of the wall,
containing a record of treasure hid
in the castle by Captan Applejack,
his pirate ancestor. Ambrose falls
asleep and dreams of bloody fight-
ing, mutiny and warfare on the high
seas. He Yiwakes to find that a
gang of desperate thieves, of whom
Anna and Borolsky are members are
on hand hunting for the treasure.
The parchment is stolen, changes
hands frequently, hut in the finale
Ambrose outwits the thieves, ac-
