R. R, Williams a Good Man.
Editor G. M. Morton of the
Cum by Rustler, published at the
home of Hon. R. R Williams, a
candidate for governor, has is-
sued a statement in reference to
Mr. Williams and his candidacy,
part of which statement is re-
produced here:
Mr. Williams was in his young
manhood at the beginning of the
civil war. He entered that con-
flict and did valiant service,
reaching the rank of captain.
Being a pioneer of the west his
education was limited and has
handicapped him to a great ex-
tent since, but it did not prevent
or hinder four years of hard ser-
vice for his country, nor has it
prevented his making good in
every position of trust imposed
by his people. Soon after the
war he settled here and has been
connected in some way with the
administration of public affairs
nearly all his life. He has been
deputy sheriff in the days that
tried the mettle of officials, jus-
tice of the peace and county com-
missioner for years, serving his
people faithfully and well, always
with an eye to economy and hon-
esty, and as a member of the 27th
legislature made a record for
honorable and devoted service.
In the meantime he has support-
ed his family by hard labor as a
blacksmith and wood workman.
His official position has made
him familiar with the laws of
Texas and he was several years
ago admitted to the bar and
practiced law for his friends and
neighbors and acts almost daily
in an advisory capacity in that
line.
I have known him for sixteen
years and can answer for his in-
tegrity, and his popularity at
home.
Why not a poor man for
governor? Why not a black-
smith? Is this not Texas, where
the lowliest may aspire to the
highest positions? Must our
state officials come alone from
the wealthy class?
Mr. Williams has ever believed
that our state can be run on a
basis of economy. Too many
offices and too many officials now
eat up the taxes and cause our
Our Customers Will Tell You

store is treated courteously and his or her business is
atterded to the best of our ability. We want your busi-
ness because we know we can serve you well and to our

How About That Paint Bill?
Perhaps you are ready to have that painting done. If
so come in and let us talk paint to you. There are no
better pairf than Lincoln and Sherwin-Williams and there
are several makes not so good. It pays to buy the
best. We'll treat you right about the price.
legislators sleepless nights to de-
vise a plan whereby more taxes
can be Wrung from the grasp of
the producer. There is a better
way, a simple and more effective
method, one of economy and one
of labor for those in office.
Mr. Williams believes that
public officers and their helpers
should earn earn their salary by
earnest and hard labor and that
a public trust should no longer
be considered an opportunity of
drawing a good salary for little
or no work. Idle clerks—useless
officials and rake-offs should be
a thing unknown in Texas and
Mr. Williams proposes to work
to that end.

To the Democratic Voters of
Dallas County:
When a few weeks ago I en-
tered the race for the Legis-
lature from this county I was in
good health and confidently ex-
pected to be able to make a
thorough canvass of the county
and submit fairly to my constit-
unents my views on the material
issues before them. My health
has failed temporarily, and my
physicians have advised, that I
must, for some weeks at least,
remain away from home and
avoid all excitement. Justice to
the people of Dallas County
therefore, demands that I re-
nounce my candidacy.
In retiring from the race I
assure my friends overall parts
of the county that I shall ever
hold in grateful remberence the
maiy kind words of encourag-
ment from them, and that it
shall be my purpose now and at
nil times to labor with them for
the re-establishmcnt and main-
tenance of simple, pure and hon-
est government.
Sincerely and gratefully,
L. Q. C. Lamar.

OPERA SINGER WORKS HARCX.
Mine. Albani has never taken: fl«ar
art lightly. Her old master,,
perti, she once recalled, kept flnr
studying a Bingle opera, "La- Sao
nambula," for months, and she hatf
always declared that "slow ai)4
sure" is the motto which makes, f«l
success.
It may not be generally bnomv
by the way, that the popular notion
that Mme. Albani derived her maia
de theater from Albany, in New
York state, is quite erroneow; ift
was choeen for her by Lamperti, af~
~Ur a famous Italian family. The
food people of Albany, however,
jumped at once at the other tibm,
and Mme. Albani never had the
heart to undeceive them.
