THE DEMOCRAT-VOICE, FRIDAY, JULY 11,1924.
The work is not yet over and will not
be until the last effort has been ex-
hausted to touch and help the life of
every individual and of the communi-1
ty at large. Prayer-meeting Wed-

great occasion. Frivolous excuses
will not stand the test before God.

Discussing the Ku Klux Klan, Mr.
Ferguson said, in part:
“My friends, I believe in constitu-
tional government I believe any-
body should have the right to the ful-
lest liberty in all lines of thought and
action so long as they do not interfere
—ith the same rights of others or do
not commit wrongs against public
morals and public safety. No gov-
ernment has ever lasted longer than
a season that did not recognise this
fundamental right of the individual
citizen. It is the foundation of all
xjvilized and popular government. I
believe in a. liberal and broad inter-
pretation and exercise of the prin-
vciple. What another man believes is
of my business as long as he

to deprive him of the right to his opin-
ion we would violate the fundamental
principles of government as much as
he would if he undertook to force us
to believe as he did. So long as the,
Ku Klux question is a matter of belief.
1 have no fault to find. If the Ku
Klux as an organization had not un-
dertook by force to extend their belief
there would be no troublesome Ku
Klux issue in Texas today. I frank-
ly repeat that if a man wanta to be-
lieve in the Ku Klux principles that is
his business. But when to carry out
his belief and force it on someone else,
he forms an organization which adopts
the mask or disguike as a means of
concealing his acts and takes an oath
to protect each other in the commis-
sion of nearly every crime in the book
except about four, then that is my
business and the business of every
citizen who believes in the freedom of
thought and safety of life and limb.
The’ whole purpose and necessity of
law and government was to protect the
individual citizen from such practices
and abuses.
The Ku Kiux Klari, he said, was
trying to undo what our daddies
fought and died for—religious free-
dom and constitutional government,
ft has become an oath-bound political
party, spending money in elections in
violation of law and dominated by
grand gizards and goblins who are in
it for the money it brings; its politi-
cal activities, judging from reports pf
the national party convention, ha
split the Democratic party with a
gaping Wound that Will he long in
healing. One or more of the grand
gizards of the order had been eon
victed in the court* of Texas for traf-
ficking in women for immoral pur
poses and his successor afterward sold
the members for $148,000 cash. A
number of good men joined the klan.
he said, but the organization also gath-
ered under its hoods bootleggers and
crooks who are in it for the protection
guaranteed by its secret binding oath.
Many good men who joined the invis-
ible order became aware of the de-
ception and withdrew, the speaker
said, while others remained in their
bad company and I believe they are
justified in wearing a mask to conceal
their identity .
A Word to the Wbe
"In March I was called to the bed
side of my sister in Brewton, Ala-
bama. She was given up to die and
was almost dead. Talked in a whis-
per. Doctors said nothing b u t an
operation would save her and she was
too weak for that. Her color was
yellow as a pumpkin ahd she was filled
yellow as a pumpkin ahd she was filled
with gas. That day t heard of Mayr's
Wonderful Rpmedy and went and got
a bottle for her. In three weeks she
was able to be about and walked
medicine to everyone." It is a simple,
harmless preparation that removes the
catarrhal mucus from the iptestinal
tract and allays the inflammation
which causes practically all stomach,
liver and intestinal ailments, includ-
ing appendicitis. One dose will con-
vince or money refunded. For sale at
all druggists.—Adv.

Cure for Bloat.
(Farm & Ranch)
A cure for bloat caused from eating
sorghum, alfalfa or like crops has
been offered the readers of Farm and
Rtftch by J. C, Morris, San Saba coun-
ty. Mr. Morris has tried it a number
of times and claims it gave relief.
‘Take hold of the tongue and pull
it back and forth, in a pumping man-
pumpi _
ner, until the animal belches, which
allows the gas to escape. When the
animal has once belched leave it alone
and it will he all right in a short
time." J. C. MORRIS.

A devotional service took the place
of a regular preaching service Sun-
day morning and all seemed to im-
mensely enjoy the splendid okl song*.
The fellowship service jn which the
recent additions of the church were
welcomed white all sang, “Blest Be the
Tie that Bind*,” was inspiring. A
mixed quartet sang, “1 Need Thee Ev-
ery Hour," before Communion, and
Bro. Gates made an excellent talk be-
fore having the audience served. Bro.
Chas. Watson in a splendid manner
put before the church the needs of
the Christian Church at A. A M. Col-
