STORY FALSE
SAYS RANDELL
Washington, March 30.—Repre-
sentative Handel I yesterday gave out
ihr following statement, denying
that lie Intencs to quit the Senatorial
contest:
"My attention has been called to
a statement widely circulated In
some Texas newspapers to the effect
that 1 would withdraw from the
Senatorial race and be a candidate
for Representative from the Fourth
District.
"This absurd and hypocritical
stor is utterly false. It Is,the work
of my political opposition. 'The bat-
tle I nm waging for Democracy and
against those who would make the
party either a prohibition or an
antl-prohihitlon party, as well us
those who are trying to Republican-
ize the party, will be continuously
and vigorously urged from the time
I am able to return to Texas until
the primaries.
"1 rely upon the good sense of
Texas Democrats to reject such false
reports as my enemies may promul-
gate. I have no intention of with
drawing from the Senatorial race
and will not be a candidate for re-
nominatlon as representative from
the fourth district.
"I am not able to mntntaln a press
bureau and hope the newspapers who
favor decent politics will kindly pub-
lish this statement.
"C. B. RANDELL."
Mr. Randell expects to leave for
Texas shortly to press his candidacy
for the Senate.

President. McKinney, Texas.
Editor F. C. Thompson of the Mc
Kinney Examiner received a phone
message announcing the sudden
death, at 7 o'clock Thursday, of
his brother, Thomas G. Thompson,
who for twenty-four years had been
a patient in the hospital at Terrell,
Texas. The death message was a
sudden and unexpected blow to the
brother, who, only a few days ago,
had visited the deceased at Terrell
and found his physical condition to
be as good as usual, while mental-
ly, he was better than he had ever
found: him Bince the patient first en-
tered the institution. Consequently
the McKinney relatives were totally
unprepared for the sad news. The
death was due to natural causes,
heart affection, and he was ill only
a few moments. The deceased was
born March 11, 1850 in Park county,
Indiana, and came to Collin county,
Texas, -in 1880. He was a farmer
before his affliction and unmarried.
His father, Lewis Thompson, died in
this county in 1888, his mother died
in Indiana in 18GGj_ A brother,
George C. Thompson, a printer by
trade in McKinney, died here fif-
teen years ago. Editor F. C.
is the only surviving member of the
immediate family. Mrs. Harriet
Wllmeth, of Sherman, is a sister-in-
law, and Mrs. Willie Greer, also of
Sherman, a niece of the deceased.
The remains were shipped to Mc-
Kinney, his brother audi J. Frank
Smith going to Dallas and accom-
panying them from that city on to
McKinney. The body arrived on the
2:30 o'clock car Friday and
was taken to the home of the de-
ceased's brother on South Benge
street, where impressive services
were conducted by Revs. J. M. Bell
and Hugh McClellan. The burial
took place In Pecan Grove cemetery
at 4 o'clock. The deceased was an
intelligent, industrious young man
prior to his afillctlon, highly esteem-
ed and universally respected. After
his mental affliction came upon him,
his brother in McKinney, saw that
he had every care and attention that
could be given anyone in the same
unfortunate condition. To the be-
reaved brother and other relatives,
these papers extend sinoerest condo-
lence In their sudden bereavement
and in their dark hour of sorrow.
BAILEYS HEALTH FAILING.
Friends of Junior Senator Alurmed
ut Ills condition.
Washington, March 29.—Friends
of Senator Bailey express consider-
able alarm over the health of the
Junior Senator from Texas.
It is said that for some time Sen-
ator Bailey has been suffering, but
that he has remained at Washington
to attend to his public duties and
private "work despite the Insistent
appeals of his physician for him to
take a needed rest. '
Senator Bailey has finally allowed
himself this rest by leaving Washing-
ton for French Lick Springs, lnd.,
the noted resort for digestive ali-
ments. How long he will be there
will depend upon the rapidity with
which he will recuperate.
Owing to important matters that
are Immediately upon the calender of
the Senate, the Stephenson election
case, the Lorliner case and the tariff
bills, Senator Bailey was loath to
leave Washington, and has remained
here as long as he did because of his
interest in the minority report on the
steel bill, which he waltedi to see
shaped up and signed before he left
for his rest.
Senator Bailey's friends say his
health will not prevent him from
going to Texas to take part in the en-
suing political campaign, as despite
the entreaties of those who know the
condition of his health, he InBiBts,
they say, on his intention to take
part in the contest in Texas.

PROSPECTS GOOD.
W. F. Lewis of Chambersvllle Says
Things Look Good Out His Way.
W. F. Lewis, a farmer who lives
on W. D. Smith's farm in the Cham-
bersville community, andi who has
been a reader of the Weekly Demo-
crat-Gazette for fifteen years, was in
town and called around to see us.
In talking of conditions in his sec-
tion of the county Mr. Lewis says
that everybody Is well pleased and
the prospects for a good crop are in-
deed very flattering. He says that
there is a great deal of oats planted
in that section of the county as well
as considerable wheat. He says oats
have a good stand and It looks as
though the crop will be fine. Most
all of the wells, he says, are filled
up and the branches nnd creeks are
running thus, relieving the farmers

There has In the past been a great
deal of sickness in Chambertvllle,
but only one case of meningitis, that
being the little daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. W. B. Taylor, who died
several days ago and1 was mentioned
in this paper. Mr. Lewis has been
living on the Smith farm for five
years and is a good farmer. Glad
to hear a man talk about the good
things in future for him instead of
kicking about' what has already
happened and can't be helped.

Tom W. Perkins is a self-made
man, for indeed no set of men could
mouldl one like him. He has grown
to be a State Senator, while thous-
ands of young men around him, with
a hundredfold better chance, have
merely attained to age. He was un-
learned and poor when he came to
Wylle, almost penniless, and yet he
managed to establish the Rustler,
which was the beginning of his
march of progress that will no doubt
continue until he reaches Washing-
