A tale was told that a minister
started to his appointment one
Sunday morning and on the way
he saw some boys and a dog out
by the road. He stopped and re-
primanded them heavily for. start,
ing out with a dog rabbit hunting
on Sunday morning instead of go-
ing to Sunday School. After he
had rebuked them one of the boys
said, “But Mister, we haven't
started rabbit hunting, we just
gathered out here to give this dog
to the persons who tells the big-
gest lie.” At this point he started
again, “Boys, you are wrong
again, it is wrong for anybody to
tell a lie, and for example you
ought to be like me, I never in-,
dulge in telling lies.” And at this
point of the game one of the boys
yelled, “Give the preacher the
dog, he won it.”

Declaring his determination to
continue to follow the law in the
administration of the affairs of
the attorney general’s office,
Gerald C. Mann reached Bowie
' luesday UfUH'HUUli un Ills, 'slew*,-
ardship tour” of the state.
Speaking before a crowd at
Bowie Drug corner, Mann stated
“two years age when you elected
me I promised that I would stay
on th ejob. I promised that I
would build a real attorney gen-
eral’s office, and that so long as I
was attorney general the laws of
our state would be enforced,”
“I have stayed on the job. The
biggest corporations and the
humblest citizens have been given
a square deal by the attorney gen.
eral but both have had to play the
game according to the rules.”
Attorney General Mann prais-
ed the lawyers and others com-|
posing his staff and said. We
work as a team. It is not the
man who carries the ball that does
all the work. I could accomplish
very little but’ for the able, loyal
support of those menubout me."
The speaker described the
duties ana responsibilities of the
attorney general's department and
said they have written more than
2,500 legal .ppinions during tho-
past 18 months in giving advice to
the heads of the various state de-
partments, agencies, institutions
and other states and county offi-
cials.
"And we are proud_of our court
I record," he added. ’ "We have
been before the Supreme Court of
the United States five times and
have been victorious four times,
on the job. I promised that I
Court of Texas 19 times and have
won 17 times, and in the- courts
nf Civil Appeals we have had 78
cases and h^ve won 60 of them.”
Mann reviewed numerous law
suits he has filed and successfully
prosecuted in enforcing the anti-
trust, cigarette tax, chain store
tax, anti-pollution, and other state
statutes, and asserted "w^ have
put-out of business forty racket-
eering insurance companies, com-
panies that sold policies, collected
the money, and then when a
death occurred, refused or . were
unable to pay off.”
“And I promised you two years
that the attorney general's
lice would not be a political of-
fice but a law office. We do pot
file political lawsuits or write
political opinions. You may rest
assured that when we file a suit
we have made an investigation
and believe that we have the
evidence.
“I have only one political am-
bition and that is to do the job
well that you have given me to do.-
“Two years ago I told you that
I had made no prorpise to any man
or set of men.’ That condition still
exists. I am obligated to no man
no man or no group of men. I am
obligated only to the people of
Texas, obligated only to do the
well the job to which you elected
me.
“Although unopposed for re-
election, I am taking advantage
of the lax season in the work in
the office, when the courts are
in vacatiion, to visit the people,
express my appreciation of the
faith and confidence shown in my
administration, and report to.
them on the conduct of the ac-
tivities of the attorney general’s
office.
“When this tour has been com-
pleted September 1, I shall return
to my desk and again devote my
full time to my official duties.”
Attorney General M ann's
month’s tour will take him into
every section of tlxe state.

Sid Huffstutter tells me that his
brother, S. P. Huffstutter, who
was visiting in Bowie last week
from O’Biori, Tenn., has been a
cripple since stepping from a fast
moving train about forty years
ago while asleep. It was in the
night and he was asleep when the
passenger train porter called the
name of the station some distance
out of the town where he was to
get off and as the porter walked
toward the door he followed
along. As they sometimes do,
the porter opened the ...outside
door a mile or more out of town.

very good meeting, considering
the opportunity of attendance on
the part of most of the citizens of
the community. About the time
meeting was getting started
interestingly a heavy rain in that
vicinity put the roads in such
bad condition that some of the
people could hardly get to the
church house for a few days. And
able again tot the best attendance
he was compelled to close there
in keeping with his promise to
begin a revival at another place.
But regardless of the handicaps
the series of services did a lot of

sincere appreciation and thanks "—----x——
for the fine vote that I received
a result of revival services. And
some people were not quite satis-
fied with the outcome of their
revivals, but altogether a great
deal of good was done by the
many meetings. People had the
satisfaction of attending, taking
part in the worship,. learning
more about the Bible and being
spiritually uplifted and encourag-
ed. Regardless of whether they
had the‘ privilege of reporting
large numbers of conversions and
additions to the local churches
the meetings were worth more
than the time and trouble of at-
tending and conducting them.
They bear their spiritual influ-
ence and that influence is always
greater than we sometimes won-
der over. And we should appre-
ciate the good results of these
many revivals regardless o f
whether we saw all of the quick
results that we naturally wanted
to^ee.

As Huse Wainscott of the Den-

Saturday of last week he said he
day, August 4, at his home in the
community where he has been a
resident since he was three weeks
of age. He was born in Fanning
County, Txas, August 4, 1858, and
his parents brought him to Mon-
tague County when he was about
three weeks of age, and Denver
has since been his home com-
munity. Likely, he has been a
resident there a greater number
of years than any other living
person has resided in any other
part of the southern section of
Montague County. The arrival of
his parents and a few other fami-
lies was the beginning of Denver
as one of the earliest pioneer
communities of the southern part
of Montague County. And he
had a very narrow escape from
death when the incoming white
settlers were attacked by a band
Of hostile Indians on their arrival
here. -Mr. Wainscott’s mother
held to him as the Indians were
beginning the fight on the settlers
and one of the company of settlers
told her to hide in the tall grass
and in hiding and. keeping out
of the way of the battle she be-
