To The Voters Of
Scurry County:
In the last two or three weeks
there has been a report circulated that
I was in favor of and had agreed if I
was elected County Judge to pay out
of the county treasury the attorney
fee of R. V. Davidson and ML E. Rosser
for filing the recent school land suit.
On many occasions since this re-
port came out I have denounced it as
being false unreasonable and untrue
but it seems some persons still persist
in its circulation and I feel that I must
in justice to myself take this means to
declare such report is absolutely false
and I do hereby declare that if I am
elected county judge of Scurry county
I will not be in favor of paying; said
attorney fee out of funds belonging to
Scurry county.
And furthermore I will state
that no person has ever asked me to
make any such promise.

Mr. Hardy Kdltor Signal

Dear sir: I ani enclosing a com-
munication which I hope you can
print In an iBsue of your paper this
week. Prln the communication and
send me a copy of the pnper and a
statement of the account.
Sincerely yours
R. B. COUSINS.
Personally I am deeply Interested
In the success of my 61d friend and
neighbor Jno. Is. WOrtham In his
randldacy for railroad commission-
er. He and I have evpr been on the
same side of tile prohibition ques-
tion but that 'does' not affect his
qualifications for railroad commis-
sioner of TexnB. I am gratified to
say that he has been' endorsed In the
race by scores of men In the prohi-
bition ranks' among them. Hon.
Thos. II. Hall of Houston Hon. M.
M. Brooks of Dallas and Judge R.
W. Hall of Atnarlllo each of whom
Is'an uncompromising prohibitionist.
I have known Mr. Wortham Inti-
mately for twenty years and can
speak with authority when I say
that ie Is. pure In his prlvnte life
sincere in iub poinrai oii:iiuiib
servo his country well. He litis borne
more burdens not his own and has
contributed niore of his private ear-
nings unselfishly to the object of
pure charity' than any other man I
have ever khown. He measures up
to tho Jeffersonlan standard of a
good democratic officer nnmely ho
is honest and capable. Intellectually
he Is the equal of any man In the
public service und In his exnlted pa-
triotism he has no superior even a-
motiH his 'canting critics If they do
ho the most patriotic among us. Tex
as needs huch men as John L. Worth
am In the public service and she
would wrong herself If she should
fall to keep him In public life lie
Is an unfy iriHh friend a pood neigh-
bor an upright citizen and an officer
who Is an honor to his state..
He came up through the hard
knovks that usually attend the far-
mer boy's life and has made his way
to the front ranks among Texas cltl-
ta. I la Is the only farmer and bus-
iness man who has ever served up-
on the Texas railroad commission.
From 'every legitimate point of
vie'. Mr.' Wortham ought to be re
tained on the railroad commission.
Respectfully
It. dl. COUSINS

The Wives of the Candidate
During the present campaign our
thoughts have wandered ut times
from the Issues and the charges to
the wives of the candidates. As In
any other kind of battle they have
had to stand the most of the suf-
fering. It would he a great thing If
some one would Invent a patent cot-
ton wadding for the ears of the
wives of the candidates so that the
moment anyone talked politics the
wadding would promptly Jump Into
place. It would be pleasant If every
one of them could have glasses that
would blur that time In the newspa-
pers which said anything unpleasant
about their husbands.
Wouldn't It be a great thing If
some sort of a treaty could be effect
ed between various states so that the
wives of State officials could change
residences during the campaign?
.Mrs. Colquitt and 'Mrs. Ramsey
might lead the delegation of Texas
campaign widows to .Michigan or
some equally distant state and enjoy
the fun of the Michigan campaign
remarking on the funny haircuts or
bald pates of the various candidates
and not giving a whoop as to which
won.
Since the treaty for change of
residence Is not likely to be soon ef-
fected we recommend to every wife
of a candidate that she cultivate a
sense of humor. Austin Statesman.
Of Industrial Interest.
M. U. Harris of Fort Worth advo-
cates cotton factories for our cot-
ton and shows that if Texas cotton
was manufactured In Texas that Ibe
crop would bo worth twlci as much
as is now received for It.
He shows clearly that if we bad
money at 3 per rent or 4 per cent
that we could and would build fac-
tories and save for Texas mnnv mil-
lions per annum.

Prohibitionist Attention
Read what the Home and State
I.... n aov In ennnnrtlnn with Can-
imp v v. ds ""
dldates for Court of Civil Appeals of
this district:
Will the overwhelming majority
of Prohibitionists In the great Pan-
handle or Seventh 8upreme Judicial
district confirm or reject tho Gov-
ernor's choice of Judge for that
Court of Civil Appeals?
The stamina of Panhandle pros
has never been questioned but all of
tha progressive Texans are watching
to see v.hat answer those people will
give to Governor Colquitt's action
In appointing Judges Graham and
Pressleni on that court. Surely Pan-
handlers you hnve not forgotten
the record of these men. Will you
swallow Jas. Graham as a sweet mcr
sol after all his vituperation and
wicked thrusts against your flRbt
for' temperance in Montague and In
Potter county. Will you forget his
publicly saying In Amurlllo that "he
would not lend his Influence for the
enforcement of the law against vio-
lators of the local option law nor
would be advise any one to obey
such law In case the results were In
favor of prohibition? We ask will
you now by your franchise put him
back In n position he secured thru
the choice of Governor Colquitt Ja-
cob Wolters John I.. Wortham and
others? We did not question the
right or Governor Colquitt Jo np- ;
point these judges but since no oio
so appoint men with possibly one ex-
ception who are clearly out oT har-
mony with your Ideals and clear ma-
jority It now becomes your duty to
select men whd are In favor with
your Inwyers and citizens. Surely
you have not rorgotten the Fort

presumption yon will reap n whirl-

"I have used Doan's Kidney Pills
for the past five or six years when-
ever I have had any symptoms of
kidney trouble and I havo always
been benefitted. Seeing Doan's Kid-
ney Pills advertised 1 procured u
box from the Grayum Drug Com-
pany. They strengthened my kld-

this remedy occasionally and It has

Fritz R. Smith's re-
ply to C. It. Buchan-
an's evasive circular
The voters who have heard the public
discussions of Mr. Buchanan arid my-
self a Fluvanna.three weeks ago and
at other places since then know that
my opponent has evaded answering
from the stump in direct terms wheth-
er or not he would be in favor of pay-
ing out of Scurry county's funds an
attorney's fee to R. V. Davidson and
M. E. Rosser for services in Scurry0
county school land litigation.
At the elventh hour when it is too
late for my answer to reach all of the
voters of the county Mr. Buchanan
resorts to the not very commendable
practice of getting out a campaign cir-k
cular which still evades the question
of whether he will favor paying out of
the county funds if elected A Fee for
- " . a
further legal services in scnool land
litigation.
Notice that he says in his circular;1
that he will not favor paying Davidson
and Rosser the fee for filing the recent
school land suit. He does not say he
will not be in favor of paying them
to file ANOTHER SUIT to re-
cover the land since the suit filed by
Davidson and Rosser had been dis
missed in both the
courts.
He still evades the real issue. Come
out to the Court
