FORMER ROCKDALE BOY
SINKS GERMAN U-BOAT
(Cameron Enterprise)
Rev. B. B. Blaylock, pastor of the
Cameron Baptist church is in receipt
of a letter from his son, Truett, tel-
ling how he fired two shots at a Ger-
man submarine with fatal effect.
TflloH !- » -
1...... —so yjmy xo years ui
age and enlisted in the Navy 15
months ago. This was his seventh
trip, being gunner on a troop ship.
The letter, which was addressed to
MrB. Blaylock, follows:
■-, France, June 30.
Dear Mother:
I thought I would write you from
here, but we cannot mail it here.
We left Norfolk, Va., June 15 and
on Sunday at 8 a. m. we sighted a
submarine off the port quarter.
There were 13 ships in the convoy
and we sighted the sub first. We
sounded six blasts on the siren and
opened fire. The first shot went
about 8 feet to the left. The next shot
hit the sub smack! Oh, you don’t
know how glad it made me feel!
Mother, I was just getting out of
bed when the alarm was given and I
did not stop to put on any clothes.
I went up to my gun in my under-
clothes. The captain said it was sure
good shooting, and the paymaster is
going to give us a big feed. The good
part of it is, I was in it.
When we hit the old sub she came
up out of the water about six feet
and went down with all of her con-
ning towers and periscope shot off.
The captain made it official when we
were about two days out from Nor-
folk.
I told you I was going to sink a
submarine and I did it. Aren’t you
proud of your little son?
All the French people over here
know' it, for yesterday when I was
alone (I was broke) a pretty little
French girl took all our gun crew
to supper.
They say a sub is going to get us
on the way back, well if they do, it
will take a half dozen, for we have
four good guns on our ship.
Your son,
TRUETT BLAYLOCK.

(From Cameron Enterprise)
The first bale of cotton of the 1918
crop was brought to town Tuesday at
9:30 a. m. by Wm. Scott who farms
the Coley Turnham place about 2 1-2
miles north of Cameron, which farm
is the property of Wm. Rogers. This
cotton was planted in February, and
is of the Mebane variety. It was
picked by the Scott family, who pick-
ed over about 20 acres to get the
bale, which weighed 489 pounds. It
was ginned by Weem’s Electric Gin,
who donated the ginning, bagging
and ties. The bale was bought by
A. H. Baskin for 30 cents a pound
and a premium of $30, the seed bring-
ing $32.25, making a total of $212. 00.

North American Moose.
The moose is tlu* largest living rep-
resentative of the deer family, and Is
found in North America. The elk Is
native of northern Europe and is con-
sidered by many zoologists to be the
same species, except that il is smaller.
A full grown moose may bo six and
one-half to seven feet tall at the shoul-
der and weigh 1,000 to 1,500 pounds.
On account of endurance and strength
the moose is frequently symbolic, per-
sons of unusual power beiug said to be
"As strong as a bull moose."
Seattle Becomes Island.
They have been making Seattle look
something like New York, only In the
process Seattle gets a water front of
more than 130 miles as against New
York’s 43 (that is, Manhattan’s), says
Boys’ Life. This winter you will
“bound” Seattle like this: "Seattle
is bounded on the east by Lake Wash-
ington, deep fresh water about 25
miles long and three to five wide; on
the south and west by Puget Sound
(salt) ; and on the north by the new
deep water lock canal, completed at a
totul cost of nonrly $5,000,000. to say
nothing of the cost of regrading the
streets, building new bridges, and do-
ing other things to adjust the city to
the change.” The change Includes the
dredging of the new waterway to Lake
Union in the very henrt of Seattle. The
two lakes named are nine feet above
the waters of the sound at high tide.
The new canul will take the largest
merchant ships afloat, which Is doing
enough, for it’s only the ships afloat
thnt count.
Sanitary Fountains.
An Investigation of drinking foun-
tains at the University of Minnesota,
carried out by the state board of
health, led to the rather startling re-
sult that the 77 fountains in use at
the university, most of which belonged
to various supposedly “sanitary” types
were found to be Improperly construct-
ed to prevent contamination by the
consumer, according to the Scientific
American. The principal defect was
the vertical discharge of the water,
making it necessary for the consumer
to place his mouth directly over the
point of discharge. It was found that
the majority of persons drank with the
Ups touching the nozzle. The Investi-
gators devised a new type of fountain
ln which the discharge Is at such an
angle that there Is no possibility of
water falling back from the mouth up-
on or near the orifice.
A Unique Suggestion.
A constable in a Vermont town re-
cently rounded up a number of hobos.
"Come along,” ho said to them, "you
have all got to have a bath."
This announcement was, of course,
received with considerable perturba-
tion, especially by the eldest of the
men. “What!" he exclaimed. “A
bulb ! A bath with water?"
“Sure thing," said the constable.
“Look here, Mr. Constable,” said the
npprehensive one. “Couldn t you man-
age it with one of them vacuum clean-
era?”—Case and Comment.__
COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS
MAKES A STATEMENT
(Continued from Page 1)
Dollars, payable in three installments
°f Three Thousand Dollars each.
"My bid also provided for a ten
years contract for muinUnonn® a#
system at the rate of Fifty-five Dol-
lars per month.”
Witness my hand at Cameron, Tex-
as, this the eighteenth day of July,
A. D. Nineteen Hundred and Eigh-
teen- QUINN WALKER,
Subscribed and sworn to before me
this the eighteenth day of July. A. D.
1918. JEFF T. KEMP,
County Clerk, Milam Co., Texas.
From this it will be seen that his
bid was $9,000 and $55 per month for
upkeep, while the bid we accepted was
for $9,000, and $50 per month for
upkeep, or $5 per month lower than
the rejected bid. And yet, we are
criticised and accused of rejecting the
low bid and accepting the high one.
Although Quinn Walker lost out on
his bia, and he, if any one, ought to
kick, yet being straight and honest,
and knowing these reports to be false,
has come forward and made affidavit
to their falsity. Not only that, but he
now '■•ays after the work has progress-
ed, that he is sure both bids were too
low, and that the successful bidder
will now lose money on the job.
Although the work is unfinished,
yet it has already been of material
benefit to the county. Already hun-
dreds of acres of land which have
heretofore escaped taxation have been
found and placed on the 19H tax rolb
of the county. Others who had ren-
dered less than they owned, knowing
this would catch them, have voluntari-
ly increased their rendered acreage.
Ihe little land owner, whose acreage
his neighbors knew, has herer fore
rendered all he had, but the big land
owner whose acreage was unknown,
rendered only a purt, and with the
map before us, showing the location
aid ownership of every t.iact of land
in Milam county, the Commissioners
Court proposes to see that each and
all, whether rich or poor, render all
their lands. In other wor a square
deal to all, special privileges to none.
Again wc are criticised about buy-
ing county material. It has been
said we are extravagant and show
partiality in buying, when as a matter
of fact, not a Commissioner in the
county has any say as to from whom
anything shall be bought or the price
to be paid. For over a year we have
had a county auditor, whose duty it is
to buy each and every article used by
the county, and to approve each and
every piece of proposed work to be
done, before it is begun. And ali pur
chases are made upon bids previously
submitted, and the man bidding low-
est makes the sale. These matters
are handled by the Auditor, and not
by the Commissioners Court. And yet
there are men running for public of-
fice in Milam county who don’t seem
to even know we have a county aud-
itor, or knowing it, make statements
not supported by the facts, trying to
prejudice the minds of the people
against me.
I have tried to make you a good
Commissioner and will continue to do
so, and will appreciate the vote of
every man and woman in the precinct
on July 27th.
Yours for a square deal and the
truth,
O. K. PHILLIPS.
A Disappearing Island.
At Lake Orion, ln Michigan, then- Ik
a certain mysterious island whioti
conies to the surface each summer, ou
ly to disappear again every winter
Quite regularly, along the middle ol
August, the island bobs up above the
waters of the lake, and down it goes
again about the middle of February.
Oiive suine funnel's of unit puii of til*
country loaded the Island with heavy
stones, thinking that, when It went
down the next time, It would stay
down. But, when it was summer once
more, up came the mysterious island
ns serene ns ever. This Is one of the
most famous of the curious floating
Islands.—Christian Science Monitor.
Music’s Effects.
Children, the young and the vigorous
are more resistant or find more pleas-
ure In noises than do the older and
less healthy. Martial music to Incite
action, courage nnd animal spirits ap-
proaches that mild bedlam of the nv
ernge boy. The rhapsodies of love and
effete civilization require soft, .sooth-
ing, gentle and cnlm melodies. Tht
supersensitive ears of such quiet, lar
from-bold natures are made ill by the
rugged sounds of conquering heroes.—
Exchange.
Our Neighbors.
Charles Lamb was one day criticiz-
ing n neighbor rather severely when
his listener Interposed with a protest
thnt the Judgment was mistaken, nnd
that the critic did not really know the
man. "But 1 don’t want to know
him,” said Lamb. "I might get to like
him.” That is what might happen
in a good many cases when we stand
i off nnd condemn. The faults are uot
J the only qualities our neighbor pos-
sesses. We might get to like him If
we took the trouble to pet acquainted.
