Hon. A. II. Klrby
Hon A. IL KM by fallowed Judge
Blanton with a speech also utgliig con
ccrtcd action ou thu part of prohibi-
tionists of tho state. Mr. Klrby said
that the time has come when men must
bo forgotten and prlnclpb' must govern
tho stand of those Who wish to see
liquor driven from tho state. He re-
viow cd the situation In Taylor county
showlnK how In the first local op-
tion election ever held here the antls
were vlctoi Ions by tremendous majori
ties but how finally they were drlvon
out. Ho also touched upon conditions
over the state telling of tho torrlblo de-
feat that was inflicted upbn prohibi-
tionists in 1887 but showing how sen-
timent has changed so rapidly that now
104 Texas counties nro totally dry.
llnv. George H. Morrison
Hoy. Georgo H. Morrison road a num
her of passages from the Bible con-
demning the drinking or liquor to ox-
ceas and made a short talk etplanlng
the application or those passages to
present day conditions.
Hov. J. IV. Fort
Rev. .1. W. Fdrt was called upon for
a speech but ho said that as tho hour
was late and aB ho was to bo followed
by Hop. W. J. Cunningham ho would
tirpfer yielding his time to Mr. Cun-
ningham. Howovor ho did say that he
wanted to add his volco to the appeal
to tho people to forget men nnd to fight
for tho great principles now at .stake.
Ho told of his recollection of the mem-
orable debate which occurred in Waco
in thereat of the campaign of 1SS7 In
which Roger Q. Mills leader of tho
anti forces opposed Dr II. II. Cnrroll(
who spoke for the prohibitionists. Ho
said that when ho was in Corslcana
two years ago ho asked someone what
" had become of Roger Q Mills and
they told him that he had retired Into
obscurity and spent his time now kill-
ing big red nnts with his walking cano.
On the other hand Rev. Fait told of
how Dr. Carroll has beqomo the head
or tho gioat Southwestern Baptist The-
ological Seminary and Is directing
hundreds of young preachers In tlielr
noble work "Thus" snld tho speaker
"does the mpn who right on tho side
of prohibition increase in their use-
fulness while those who oppose It sink
into obscurity."
Hon. W. J. Ouuiiliiglinni i
Hon. W J. Cunningham was next in-
vled to address tho meeting. Ho at-
op f ouched upon tho "personal liberty"
cry of tho antls nnd reviewed tho lo-
cal option situation especially In Tay-
lor county '.'it prorhbon S a good
thin? for a precept.' said ho "It (1
good for a epppty apd If. ft S good
ijm ?0:UV H h SCOil for the larsar .
! .mi tho stato." Mr. Cunning-
ham touched upon the untruth of tho
Idea that a statc-wido prohibition law
could not be enforced. He pointed out
how the nntl-gambllng laws have been
enforced how thq Sunday closing laws
have been enforced and then asked:
"If thebo law$ can ho enforced why
cannot stnte-wldo liquor laws be en-
forced; If tho saloons can be closed op
Sunday why can they not bo closed on

TO TUN OF COOPKIt FAMILY
ATLANTA. Ga. Aug. 14 Following
an illness' or several weeks during
which lie had a strange presentiment
that he would never get well Frederick
William Cooper 29 years or ago. one
of Uie most promising young men of
Atlanta died of typhoid fevor at a pri-
vate sanitarium at i);15 o'clock yester-
day morning.
Mr. Cooper's death In his 29th year
adds the final chapter to n series or
deaths which have made the twenty-
ninth year an uneasy one Tor the
Coopers an Inexplicable and wl"rd
coincidence or which he is tho Inst
ictl'm.
When 29 years of ago tho father or
the young man was seized with the
illucis which resulted In his dejith.
Thom vore nne boys-m. tho family
and each or tho eight otner bojs lived
until he was 29 years or age. dying
when almost ready to celebrate his
thirtieth birthday.
Frederick William was the only son
and some time ago it was known that
a presentiment or his death Was weigh
ing upon him. Ills thirtieth birthday
would have been In January.
"If I "can only live until then why
I'll live to bo a thousand" ho said not
long ago.
Then when he was taken Sick with
typhoid the inevitable brooding ovor
'hflt might be tho result or his illness
could li Ot bo shaken off and it is said
that this rear and tho belief tha he
could not get well becauso his father
and eight uncles had died at tho same
age hastened tho end which came
when his relatives wer0 too far away
