Gas Near Lampasas.
Lampasas, Texas, Aug. 5.-
Gas which would burn for twen-
ty minutes, more than a foot
above the 5 1-2 inch casing, was
struck at a depth of GOO feet in
a well being drilled for water on
Ernest Groves' place six miles
north of Lampasas yesterday.
Very salty water has now risen
to within 200 feet of the surface
and the gas flow has ceased. A
local company has been formed
to sink this well 600 feet deeper
and considerable interest is beinp:
created. No solid rock has yet
been passed through in this well,
only shale.

Predicts Colquitt's w
Nomination.
Robert Hanna, of Groesbeck,
writing in defense of Colquitt's
senatorial candidacy, says, in
part:
"I see from the colums of your
paper that some people in Texas
are much concerned for fear that
0. B. Colquitt will be our next
Senator and very solictous aoout
the Wilson administration. Who
are they? Politicians, preachers
and prohibitions. I do not see
any farmers cutting up. Why?
Because Colquitt has already
been the friend of the farmer,
"First, he was the friend of
truck growers while he was Rail-
road Commissioner and wanted
to give them transportation with
car lots ot produce and had the
railroads followed him we would
now be shipping 500 to 1.000
cars of Irish potatoes from this
county alone and less cotton,
"As Governor, he called a cot-
ton conference of Governors of
all cotton growing States to see
what could be done to raise the
price df cotton. As a result of
said call, the United States Gov
ernment throusrh its Consular
service found out that at that
time the world would consume
iy,uuu.uuu oaies, a.uuu.uuu more
than the largest crop ever raised,
and the price of cotton immedi-
ately went up. When the Euro
pean war broke out cotton drop-
ed to 6 cents. Colquitt sought
aid from the Washington admin-
istration to help finance the cot-
ton crop of 1914, but he failed,
In 1915 the President came a-
round to the Colquitt idea. In
1914 Colquitt called out the Tex
as militia to protect the border,
and this same bunch raised their
hands in horror, for fear that
Colquitt would invade Mexico,
but in 1916 the administration
came around to Colquitt's views,
and is now giving protection to
Texas.
1 "I am a supporter of President
Wilson, and I know he is able
and cspable, for he changed his
views when he found he was
wrong. If it is an embarrass-
ment to Wilson to elect Colquitt
when trie President has indorsed
Co lquitt's stand by his own act,
then I say we will in Texas em-
barrass the President, because
Texas, in my opinion, will send
Colquitt to the Senate.
"I want to ask just one ques-
tion, and that is what measure
has Culberson ever advanced in
aid of the farmers of Texas that
was of his own idea? We farm-
ers care nothing about his in-
fluence or his pull with the Pres-
ident. That is a private matter
between him and the President.
What we want is a man who up-
on all occasions will be doing
something for us and who will
fight for what he believes will
redound to the. benefit of all
Texas.
"'We do not want men to prac-
tice influence at Washington.
We want men who will fiht for
the betterment of all Texas."
