combined has not missed to exceed

Speaking specificaly of Eb Car-
away’s age Prof. Denton said out of
his long experience of keeping re-
cords he could tell in some way if a
student gave in the wrong age. One
year or another he could catch them
by his method of checking up. “But
Caraway has given his age correctly
every year,” he said.

Return Sunday.
It was on the above evidence that
the representatives making the trip
to Austin based their case and felt
should have stood against the school
census records.
Those in Austin from Sherman
included J. C. Pyle, superintendent
of schools; Lee Simmons, secretary
of the Chamber of Commerce; Rev.
Skaggs, O. D. McReynolds, a member
of the school board, and Mr. Cara-
way, father of Eb Caraway.

Fort Worth, Texas, Dec. 5.—The
balmy days of the “jake” manufac-
turers and venders are over' accord-
ing to an announcement by Major
Herbert H. White, prohibition direc-
tor of Texas and Oklahoma.
Beginning Jan. 1, extract or tinc-
ture of Jamaica ginger, both single
and double strength, will be classed
as intoxicating liquor and will come
under the same regulation as does
the manufacture, transportation and
sale of whisky and cordials, it was
asserted.
“The sale of Jamaica ginger in
Texas is larger than that of all other
liquor substitutes combined,” the
prohibition director asserted. “Prob-
ably about 40,000 gallons per month
are sold in the State under the pres-
ent regulation, which is soon to be
changed. This is more than- can be
legimately sold in the entire United
States in twenty years, it was esti-
mated.
Jobbers Are Unloading.
Texas “jake” jobbers are trying to
unload their stores on the retailers
by offering the drug at cut prices,
according to several circulars in
Major White’s office distributed by
these firms. They are doing this
that they may not be caught with
their present great stores of a com-
modity that will be very slow selling
after the first of 1926, Major
White declared.
Los Angeles, Cali., Dec. 7.—John
Sheldon’s dog cost him his wife. In
Superior Court yesterday Mrs. Ida
May Sheldon testified she firmly be-
lieved her husband was ' a prosperous
business man until one day she took
his dog out for a walk and the animal
went into hysterics of joy at sight of
a white bearded street beggar. The
dog’s joy aroused her suspicion she
said, and underneath the beggar’s
false beard she found her husband.
She was granted a divorce.

Caraway is only 20 years old.
Speaking of the Sherman Football
team Saturday afternoftn at 3 o’clock
Prof. C. J. Denton, principal of the
High School said:
“If there ever was a clean foot-
ball team in Texas, Sherman High
has one. There is not a shyster in
Austin at the bunch. . They have made good
Sherman Saturday afternoon. The
executive committee of the league
granted a rehearing at 11 a. m. to a
number of Sherman representatives
who had gone down Friday night to
present new evidence.
Decision of the committee was
based on conflicts between the rec-
ords of the school census as on file
in the state superintendent’s office
in Austin and in the office here at
the court house. These were accepted
in face of a number of affidavits
from the family, relatives and
friends who had known the family
for years and in face of the record
in the family Bible of the Caraways
showig that Eb Caraway was only
20 years old.
Team Ineligible.
The league committee had on last
Wednesday found Caraway ineligi-
ble, declaring the census records to
show him to be 21 years old, and
had thrown Sherman Bearcats out
of the state race.
The committee declared the school
census record conflicts to be such as
to warrant placing of no confidence
in them and at the same time accept-
ed charges that Caraway was 21 in
face of the array of affidavits from
the family, relatives and friends, as
well as the record in the family
Bible.
Sherman representatives were
convinced of the justness of their
cause and had gathered their evi-
dence and went to Austin Friday
night in the hope that the commit-
tee would accept the affidavits. The
meeting was at 11 o’clock Saturday
morning and the Sherman men re-
ported they were received courteous-
ly by the committee, six of whom
were present when the final decision
was made against Sherman.
The evidence presented by Sher-
man and felt as conclusive, yet
turned down by the Austin commit-
tee because of the conflicts in. the
census records, follows:
Family Bible of parents of Eb
Caraway showing him to have been
born Jan. 1, 1905.
Affidavits of Mr. and Mrs. John
T. Caraway, parents of Eb Caraway,
to the effect that Eb Caraway was
born Jan. 1, 1905, and is consequent-
ly only 20 years old.
Affidavit of Eb Caraway in sup-
port of that of his parents.
