f OFCITIZENS
it Before Izmtivi C—itt—
and Discuss DnMi Primary
Candidates Have Say.
Last Monday pursuant to a call
about 100 voters including the
Democratic County executive com-
mittee met at the court house and
discussed the "situation/* double
primary. The various candidates
told "why they signed it." f
Hon. Carl Gilliland called the
meeting to order and stated the ob-
ject. The secretary read the ticket
to which the chairman will certify.
The chairman explained that two
names had been ommitted. Later
the committee put the question of
these two up to the state chairman
whose decision will likely be final.
These two candidates were: Judge
L. Gough, candidate for the Senate in
whose application there was a ques-
tion as to the time and form; and
Mr. Jackson candidate for represen-
tative whose application was defect-
ive in form. As stated both of these
have been referred to State Chairman
Story. Mr. Gougb's friends feel
sure his name will appear on the
ticket.
J. H. King presented the petition
of the candidates asking for a double
primary.
T. £. Shirley followed with a peti-
tion from the citizens also asking
that the executive committee invoke
the majority rule, that is, hold two
primaries where necessary to de-
termine choice by majority.
An up-and-down or free-for-all
discussion followed. Some were op-
posed but most all the speakers fav-
ored the double primary. A report-
er was there and "took down" all
the speeches but the managing ed-
itor blue penciled the whole lot when
he saw so many that were alike.
But there were a few un-ique ones.
One candidate promised, if elected,
to have a convenient bath room fit-
ted for callers at his office; another
said he would sign a petition to hang
one of the candidates presumably
one of his opponents; another said
be didn't care who gets elected but
that he wanted that "who" to be
"him;" all the candidates tried to
explain why they signed the petition.
Atter the citizcns' meeting, the
committee went into executive ses-
sion. This committee is composed
of Hon. Carl Gilliland, chairman;
Kelly Grey, secretary ; C. V. Wal-
ker, J. C. Womble, John Gregory,
and Al Mcintosh.
There were some new candidates
whose first appearance on the track
were noticed that dav. C. M. Hunt
for county judge; R. E. Cook for
justice of the peace ; Henry Hubbert
for constable; C S. Richards also
for constable.
As a diversion a "straw vote"
was taken on the governor's race.
The result is given elsewhere.
The committee app >inted the fol-
lowing as presiding officers:
J. S. Wyche, Precinct 1; S. J.
Williams, Precino 2; K<*lly Grey,
Precinct 3; J. S W utsett, Mcintosh
Box; J. W Chapr n in, Howard Bix ;
M. O Meelcs, U non School House:

McDaniels, Jarr >li Like; John
Gregory, Kelso Box
Each countv reddidit* was ass-
essed $12 50 to d'tray the expenses
of the eiecti n
The important mm# and the one

Cotton Production
Production does not make a country
influential in trade: in f*'t excessive
production make* u ' helpless. Thr
cotton factory will miKt us power tu
in commerce. a cotton is used ail ovtt
the world. Thr following illustration
gives the cotton production of 1903.

World's Cotton Production."
Texas products 4,000,000 hairs of
cotton annually; thr L'nitrd State*
except Texas produces 9,A00.(HM) hales
and thr world excrpt the United States
6,400,000 The United States produces
97 per crnt of the cotton of the world
but when we want to know what cot
ton is worth we wirr England's fac-
tories for prices. If we doubled our
production without home factories
we would have even less to say
about fixing prices of cotton; but, on
the other hand, if we had 67 per crnt
of thr cotton factories of the world,
we could fix prices ourselves and take
our rightful place as master of thr
world's commrrce. English manufac
turrrs located a thousand miles from
the cotton held fix the prices. Wr have
hut onr alternative; we must manu
facture cotton and other staple articles
in Texas or forever pay tribute to out
side manufacturrrs. and governments
says thr Texas Commercial Secretaries'
Association.
When we buy cotton goods to the
amount of one dollar, the farmer girts
L'7 cents, the transportation companies
7 cents, the En^ish manufacturer 33
cents and the government 33 cents
while with the factory in Texas the e%
tirr dollar would rrmain with us. Thr
following illustration brings out the
situation with clrarnrss:

C. M. Hunt for Judge.
In making my announcement for
the office of County Judge of Deaf
Smith County, it may be well for me
to state in a simple way, a platform
of principles by which my official
acts will be governed, if I am elect-
ed.
1. I believe in the just and fair
equilisation of taxes.
2. I believe the county deserves
and needs good roads.
3. I believe that each district or
community should have a comfort-
able school bouse and a proficient
school.
I have entered this rsce on my
own responsibility snd do not repre-
sent any faction nor am I running in
the interest of any other candidate.
I am a Democrat and always have
been. I believe in local option, and
its rigid enforcement, and prohibi-
tion for the state.
It will be utterly impossible for
me to visit and to see all the voters
of the county and for this one reason
1 have set out my platform and have
made this statement.
If elected, I shall try to perform
the duties of the office without fear
or favor and to treat all matters
coming under my jurisdiction with
impartial consideration.
C. M. Hunt.

MIS. EMMETT CARD WELL ENTERTAINS
That the pathway of life broadens
here and there, and that there are
cool springs that bubble forth the
elixir of life along its way, is known
to all. How eagerly, too, we seek
these sequestered nooks where the
velvety sward eases the tired feeet,
and prepares us for our onward
journey.
On Wednesday afternoon, from 5
to 6, Mrs. Emmett Card well enter-
tained for one "happy little hour,"
a large number of lady friends at
her home on 25 Mile Avenue, com-
plimentary to Mrs. B. S. Arnold,
who has just returoed home from an
extended visit to her old home at
Marshall, Missouri.
The informal simplicity that ex-
isted, put every one at ease, and the
merry laugh and animated faces
told a "pretty story."
The little Misses Mary aud Johnie
Bourn, Louise Irwin, Jewell Barnes
and Willie Neil served the guests in
the dining room with fruit nectar,
and near the close of the hour, with
cream and cake.
Mrs. Clyde Wright and Miss
Louise Irwin each gave a beautiful
reading for the diversion of the
guests.
The reception rooms were taste-
fully decorated with ferns and sweet
peas, and nothing was ommitted that
would add to the pleasure of the
guests.
Mrs. Cardwell was assisted in re-
ceiving by Mrs. Will Evants, and
each lady is loud in her praise of
the entertainment of these hostesses.
The out-of-town guests were Mes-
dames Smith and Caveness and
Miss Allen.
COMPLIMENT Aft Y TO HER SISTER.
Mrs. A. M. Jones gave a "morn-
ing party" this A. M. from 9 to' 11,
at her home on West 3rd Street, that
her lady friends might meet her sis-
ter, Mrs. Laban Dameron, who is
here on a visit from Denver, Colo.
It has become a proverbial saying
that Hereford is noted for her hos-
pitality to strangers, and few come
and go without remarking about the
kindness and favors shown them
while in our midst. The entertain-
ment was "42," and six tables were
filled with enthusiastic players.
Mrs. Jones has been hostess at a
great many social functions in Here-
tord, and an invitation to the Jones
home brings happy anticipations of
what it will be.
Refrerhments of cream and cake
were served, and the time waa only
too short when the guests came to
take their leave.
Those present were Mesdames:—
Barcus, Emmett Cardwell, Jim Card-
well, Arnold, Daniels, Laird,Gibson,
Wit her spoon, Dodsoo, Stambaugh,
Hawkins, Sullivan, Johnson, Irwin,
Hicks, Warren, Hough, Webb, L. J.
Dameron, Russell, Edwards, Math-
ews, Lipscomb and Dr. Price.
WITH MR. AMD MRS. PAUL BARNETT.
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Barnett enter-
tained a few of their friends inform-
ally Thursday evening at the home
of Mr. and Mrs J. M. Boone, that
they might have an opportunity of
saying "gocd bye" before leaving
for their new home at Kingsville
near the coast.
There were no innovations intro-
duced, but plenty of good punch,
music, and a general good time.
The very best wishes of a host of
friends go with Mr. and Mrs. Bar-
nett to their new home, and hope for
them prosperity and happiness.
MOONLIGHT PICNIC.
When the "Queen of Night" sends
forth her refulgent beams, and when
the stars, the forget-me-nots of the
angels, blossom in the heavens at
the close of today, a happy crowd of
the Hereford young people fcwill be
assembled at Sulphur Park for an-
other evening's pleasure. No doubt
the cup of enjoyment will over-flow,
as it always does on these occasions,
and the heart made lighter for future
toil.

lem of increased cost
