:Some Resolutions Adopted By
the Stonewall County
Institute.
Report from copimittee on
-special resolutions was adopted
as follows:
To the Honorable County Judge
and the Hon. County Board of
Education of Stonewall county:
Whereas, our state legislature,
in its wisdom, saw fit to enact a
law providing for the creating of
a County Board of Education,
whose duty it shall be to classify
rtbe rural schools of the county
and provide for the establishing
•of Rural High Schools; and
Whereas, A more reckless
waste of school fund could not be
•devised, nor could the proper
education of the children be more
-effectually prevented than to con-
tinue the plan of organization
and work that at present pre-
vails in this county. Therefore,
.be it •
¡Resolved, That we the teachers
*of Stonewall county, in Institute
assembled, do respectfully urge
that the County School Board
appointed, do organize and pro-
ceed to classify the schools as
possible.
Respectfully submitted,
T. L. Hiner,
T R. Webb,
E. M. Trammell,
Comuiittee.
'Report of committee on general
resolution was adopted as fol-
lows: #
1. Resolved, That we endorse
the splendid work of the Confer-
ence for Education in Texas, and
pledge to it our moral and finan-
cial support.
2. Whereas, our president
and secretary have been very
efficient and have contributed
largely tó the success of the In-
stitute; Therefore, be it
Resolved, that we extend to
them our heartfelt thanks and
appreciation.
3. Resolved that the Institute
thank the people of Aspermont
for whatever kindness and hospi-
tality they have shown us.
4. Resolved, that we, the
teachers, in Institute assembled,
do respectfully ask that if it
meets the approval of the County
Superintendent, that he call the
Institute some time in November
T. L. Hiner,
T. R. Webb,
E. M. Trammell.
Committee,
One does not have to climb a
tree to see how utterly depend-
ent we are upon those who gov-
ern to widen our field of com-
merce and industry, and yet we
find the paid servants of the peo-
ple spending their time and
energies trying to conquer each
other instead of subduing nature
mastering trade.
A prominent farmer paid $400
for a pair of mules. He refused
to pay $300 for a pair of smaller
mules because the larger ones
could pull 150 pounds more
because of their increased size.
He refused to vote a bond issue
for good roads that would have
enabled the smaller mules to
pull one thousand pounds more.
Penny wise and pound foolish.
More than thirty farmers of
Howard county have already
agreed to do experimental farm
work under the instruction of
the government experts, and
they will leave nothing undone
t° make their efforts equal those
of demonstration farms of other
sections of Texas.
A Heinous Crime.
At Shady Bend, Kan., a bunch
of alleged men decoyed Mary
Chamberlain, a pretty school
teacher, to a lonely spot, stripped
her of her garments and amused
themselves by covering her body
with tar.
A worthless barber decoyed
her out under the pretense of
taking her to a dance, when he
was met by hispáis, who dragged
her out of the buggy in which
she was riding and with a gusto
that would make the devil hang
his head for shame, these low-
down, heartless, cowardly brutes
subjected this poor, helpless,
weeping, pleading girl to torture
and indignities that make the
blood of mankind boil with rage,
and civilization weep for very
shame.
Kansas has had her old John
Brown, her Javhawkers, her
Sockless Jerry Simpson, her
convict senator, her nigrger
equality fad, her Mary Ellen
Lease, her carrie. Nation and her
score of other freaks, but when
she trotted out her "Shady Bend
Tar Party," she added the cap
sheaf to her whole stack of
freaks. But it is good to know
that there4 are some real men in
Kansas who, with shame, realize
the enormity of this outrage
against a helpless female, and
they are giving the pusillanimous
buzzards the full limit of their
insufficient law. It is some com-
fort to know that those cowardly
scamps will get a year in jail for
their fun, but it would be a solace
to know that each one who had
anything to do with tarring that
girl, or stood by without offering
to intersere, could get a charge
of buckshot ins ead.
The writer has had the exqui-
site pleasure of pumping hot lead
Into a pack of coyotes in the act
of' rending a helpless calf. He
has had the extreme satisfaction
of beating the head off a snake
in the act of swallowing a brood
of screaming young birds; but
he feels that his cup would have
been made to run over if he had
been permitted to have been in
the vicinity of that "Shady Bend
Tar Party," armed with a box
of "blue whistlers" and a scatter
gun, while they were carrying
out the details of tf their devilish
scheme. What might have hap-
pened, perhaps, would not have
been exactly orthodox Sunday
school ethics, but it would have
been a blow for civilization, and
the breeP of about half a dozen
tar artists would have been stop-
ped forever.—Sterling City News
The organization of hog and
corn clubs, establishment of de-
monstration farms and the won-
derful increase in the number
under irrigation are a few of the
many things that indicate that
the Texas farmer is marching in
the front rank of progress.
Did it ever occur to you that
the smoothness of the highway of
life depends to' a great extent on
the public highways of your
community? Build good roads.
Good roads mean progress and
prosperity, a benefit to the peo-
ple who live in the cities, an
advantage to those who live in
the country.
Good roads mean prosperous
farmers; bad roads mean aban-
doned farms, sparsely settled
country districts and congested
populated cities.
Good roads are inseparably
connected with ¿roods tchools.
