HOLD FOR FOUR DAYS
Friday afternoon the eight-year-
old son of M. T. Fricks of Brashear

finding anyone at home, decided it
would be a good time to visit an
uncle, some three and a halt miles

schorrt books and struck out for his
uncle's home, a-foot. Later, when
the lamily came home and the boy
did not show up, a search was made
for him. Nobody had seen him
around dBrashear. Along about 9
night, Sheriff Smith had
sail from Mr. Fricks to
picture shows over In
liim. This was done, but
boy found. At lD o'clock, Mr.
Fricft, went over and found the lit-
tle fellow in bed at his uncle’s

Washington, March 29.—A dispo-
sition to apply the brakes to its
public disclosure was apparent when
the senate Daugherty investigating
committee resumed its inquiry into
the official acts of the former at-
torney general. Instead of examin-
ing the confidential files of the jus-
tice department in public, as origi-
nally planned, the committee decided
to consider them in executive ses-
sions.
Nicholas Ciraing of New York
was placed on the stand today by
the committee, and testified regard-

COMO ORGANIZES
NEW BRASS BAND
(Reported)
Thursday night the Sulphur
Springs Municipal band went to
Como and gave a concert. After-
ward a meeting was called of Un-
people of Como who were interested
in a local band. The spirit was
high and a band of seventeen mem-
bers were enrolled. This thing has
been talked for some time, but 'was
not fully decided until a committee
saw our local band director and
found out that he would teach
them.
We understand that L. Fulkerson
left for Dallas Friday to purchase
$800 worth of instruments for this
band. The boys are buying their
instruments, and the merchants
have agreed to pay the instructor.
This is a mighty good move, and
we are glad tq hear that the mer-
chants are behind th<| move.
Mrs. McBride, who has, been, here
several weeks with her brother, Rev.
M. L. Hamilton, and family, has
gone to Greenville to visit her
niece, Mrs. C. D. Moiloy and family.

NEWLY APPOINTED
FRENCH CABINET
ANNOUNCES POLICY
H O. NORWOOD
FOR DISTRICT JUDGE
The News-Telegram is authorized
to announce tne candidacy of Judge
H. O. Norwood for district attorney
of the Eighth Judicial district of
Texas, subject to action of the Dem-
ocratic primary on July 26.
Four years ago Judge Norwood
was mentioned by the Greenville
people as a probable candidate for
the office of district attorney. But
bt-cause of the custom of alternating
with Hopkins county on the election
of a district attorney and it being
Hopkins county’s time to fill the of-
fice, no attorneys from Hunt coun-
ty made the race for this office. At
this time the rule will be in favor
of Hunt county, and the friends of
Judge Norwood believe that this is
an opportune time for him to be
elected to this office.
Judge Norwood believes that re-
spect for the law has depreciated
in recent years, and he sets out cer-
tain principles which he believes are
essential to the restoration of the
law of this land to the exalted po-
sition it once occupied. They are:
K More'law enforcement instead
of more laws.
2. More patriotism and less poli-
tics in office.
3. More courage on the part of
officers.
4. More co-operation on the part
of citizens.
5. More righteousness in office
from president to justice of the
peace.
fi. Certainty of punishment cre-
ates respect for the law.
It is the duty of the district at-
torney to enforce all criminal laws
within the jurisdiction of the district
court. If he is elected to the office
of district attorney, Judge Norwood
pledges his best efforts to see that
all violations of laws within the
jurisdiction of the district court arc
speedily investigated, and the penal-
ty of the law applied to the guilty
parties. Position, wealth or influ-
ence will not'deter him in the dis-
charge of his duty. It is as much the
law that innocent people should not
be punished by conviction on manu-
factured testimony, as it is that the
guilty should pay the penalty. This
law should be enforced the same as
other laws.
Judge Norwood was born in Titus
county, Texas, in 1882, and moved
with his parents to Cooper when he
was a small boy. Later his parents
moved to Hunt county, which has
been his home most of the time
since he came to the county. Being
the son of a minister, who gave his
time to churches of small financial
means, and being unable to have the
advantages of an education, at the
age of sixteen he started life for
himself on the farm in Hunt and
Collin counties. All the money made
was spent in going to school, Until-
he had finished the high school
course and had a certificate to
teach school. By teaching and go-
ing to school he was enabled to com-
plete a college course, and received
the A. B. degree from the college
located at Campbell. and took
special work in the academic de-
partment of the University of Tex-
as. In 1908 he finished a three-
yenr . course in the University of
Texas and was licensed to practice
in any of the courts of Texas.
While in the teaching profession
Judge Norwood served as superin-
tendent of the schools at Royse City,
Hughes Springs and Rockport, and
was selected and served as con-
ductor of a summer normal for
some East Texas counties.
He first nractited law with his of-
fice at Commerce and later moved
to Greenville. In 1914 he was elect-
ed county judge of Hunt county.
The annual Pure Food show and
Baby Fair will be held this year oh
the 16, 17, 18 and 19 of April. This
institution is conducted by the La-
dies’ Auxiliary of the Presbyterian
church, ami from a small beginning
five years ago has grown to be a
real fair, and one of the largest
of our local events. Committees
were appointed some time ago and
have been actively engaged in look-
ing up new and novel attractions
for this year. Space has already
been spoken for by many local and
outside firms desiring to put on ex-
hibits, and several new novelties
have already been engaged, with
many more in sight. The show thi*
year will be the biggest they heve
ever had, and we see no reason why
it should not easily grow into a fair
of the proportions of the ones held
in many other Texas counties.
