amazing "shrimp villages" of the re-

the water, and board walks connect
them. Cabins and houses are likewise
situated, and the people use board

NOTICE FEDERATION MEMBERS!
July 18 is the date of the meeting

The Edgar Witt-for-Governor or-
ganization has appointed E. O. Taul-
bee, manager of the Witt Campaign
in Matagorda County, and in announc-
ing his acceptance of the chairman-
hip ho gives some of the reasons for
aligning himself with the Waco candi-
date for governor.
In the present disturbed condition
of our economic affairs, it is evident
that we should not go too far with
experiments in important public of-
fices, but rather that a man seasoned
in public service, and with a definite
knowledge of government affairs
should be plac d in the executive chair
at Austin.
Such a man we know Edgar Witt to
be, with a long service record in the
state senate, and now serving as lieu-
tenunt governor, elected by the great-
:?t vote ever cast for any aspirant to
state office.
Governor Witt is not making any
wild premises of a millenium for our
-.tats affairs. Promises which are be-
ing made by some seeking the office
>f governor, are evidently impossible
rf fulfilment, and are made with a
ull knowledge of this fact, but are
used for the sole purpose of binding
the votes of people who refuse to
think, and who are customarily sway-
ed by political bombast and buncombe.
Wc have be n listening for many
years to the promises of demagogues,
who after election have no remem-
brance of the statements made on the
stump, and who later in other races
for office select an entirely new set-
up in political propaganda.
Edgar Witt is a clean man, an hon-
est man, and in spite of all the crit-
cism, charges and counter charges in-
dulg. d in by most of the other can-
didates, no tone word of disparage-
ment has been used aginst him in the
three terms he has served as senator,
and his service as lieutenant-governor.
It is our opinion that Edgar Witt is
the one man who can reconcile and
bring together the different factions
at Austin and which have been so ev-
ident there for many years. He can
bring to friendlier relations the exec-
utive and legislative branches of our
state government. He can work with
the legislature as he has in the past,
worked with them as senator and as
lieutenant governor. Edgar Witt is re-
spected and honored by its members.
Co-operation between the two branch-
es of government are necessary if
constructive reforms and needed leg-
islation are to become a reality.
During Governor Witt’s experience
in the senate and as lieutenant gover-
nor he talked little and worked hard.
What we need now is an executive
who will in an honest to God way,
work at the problems of state, and
who will not hate any one, who will
not try to punish political enemies,
and who will not try to reward sup-
porters regardless of qualifications. In
other words who will work for the
people he represents, and not devote
his time to the building of a machine
for future political accomplishmeint.
We will ask the voters of Matagorda
County to ignore paid for pblicity in
the large dailies, as space is usually
regulated by the amount of financial
backing and Edgar Witt is dependent
entirely on the small contributions of
his firends, therefore he received lit-
tle consideration at the hands of the
metropolitan press. Men have been

A wedding of wide interest took
pace Sunday morning at 8:30 in the

He pulled out of several tight spots—
one- with the bases loaded and no.
body down, when he struck out two and
had perfect field support.

both making sensational catches.

Port Lavaca, Juy 11.—By an over-

Port Lavaca Tuesday voted in favor
of $43,000 in water revtnu# bonds and
$42,000 in sewer revenue bonds. Re-
cently PWA made loans and grants to
Port Lavaca totaling $151,000, F. M.
Dudgeon, mayor, said. Of this amount
$55,000 in loan and grants was allot-
ted for a sanitary sewer system and
sewage tnatment plant. It is estimated
that four months employment for 50
mi n will be created by the sewer pro-
ject alone.
In addition, a $54,000 loan and grant
was made for improving and extending
the water works system. A $45,000
PWA loan and grant for a modem
new school is the third project includ-
ed in the $151,000 allotment to Port

declared unsatisfactory.

The impact of the services upon the
lives of all who attended will be last-
ing.
Dr. C. Roy Angell, Pastor of the
First Baptist Church of San Antonio,
Texas, conducted vesper services on
the point each evening. All who at-
tended these services received great
spiritual blessings.
The Bible lectures of Dr. M. M.
Wolf, Houston, were on the Book of
Hebrews. Dr. Wolf in his scholarly
way brought messages that were both
helpful in information and impelling
in inspiration.
The Encampment stands for a clean,
happy, wholesome, social life for young
people and older folk. The Rules Com-
mittte reaffirmed the stand of the En-
campment against mixed' bathing.
Several of the speakers spoke force-
fully against the modern dance and
bridge.

at all meetings. Mr. T. C. Gardner,
Stato B. T. S. director, was helpful in
successfully guiding the program. Mr.

Clelland was Camp Pastor.
The election of Encampment offi-
cers will take place at the meeting of
the trustees in November.
The 1935 Encampment will be held
July 7-19. This will give a much long-
er time for the work of the Encamp-
ment. During these twelve days fully
graded work in Sunday School, W. M.
U., and B. T. S. will be given. Of espec-
ial interest in this program will be a
course for preachers, running through
the entire Encampment. This course
is expected to attract a large number
of pastors from over the state.
The Program Committee for the
1935 Encampment is composed of:
Rev. R. O. Cawker, Chairman, Corpus
Christi; Rev. George D. McClelland,
Secretary, Palacios; Rev. A. J. Carson,
