The Lady Merchants won their sec-
ond victory Friday night when they
defeated the American Beauty Girls
by a score of 23 to 20 in a full nine-
inning soft ball game. The girls are
getting better all the time it seems.
They are hitting them all and knock-
ing some of them for three baggers.
Some of the gentlemen who witnessed
the game insist that the girls are
better players than the men.
The line-ups for the games were:
Lady Merchants: Louella Rathman,
catcher; Velma Whig'ham, pitcher;
Katherine Fields, first base; Laffell
Everett, second base; Mona Poole,
short stop; Alice Seale, short stop;
Carmen Briggs,- third base; Verna
Belle Huffaker, right field; Fay Heth-
erly, center field; Joe Romans, left
field; Ruth Williams, substitute in
left field.

bion, catcher; Margaret Probst, pitch-
er; Carl Pollock, first base; Jewel
Cornett, second base; Florine Alli-
son, short stop; Lora Schlomach, short
stop; Eria Bullion, third base; Etoile
Dillard, left field; Mary E. Taliaferro,
center field; Laura O’Neal, right
field. Substitutes, Edwin,a Williams
and Jessie Standard.
FIRE UNDER YOUR TAILS
The speaker at the courthouse this
morning said: “We must organize to
repeal the 18th amendment, and we
are going to set some fire under your
tails (between now and the 26th of
August). Yes, and if the 18th amend-
ment is repealed and liquor comes
back, you will not only have fire un-
der your tails, but you voters will
have the blood of our neighbors on
your hands. This is a challenge to
the law abiding citizens of Lampasas
county and Texas. Are you going to
sit still and see the liquor interest
paint our city red with the destroyed
lives of our boys and1 girls. God for-
bid that this may be done. As a
citizen of Lampasas, I say, “Let us
rise and put this liquor question down.
See that we elect officers that will
enforce our laws and do not be afraid
to help them. I hope these few words
of warning stirs our Christian peo-
ple to get busy.

ERNEST COX SPOKE SATUR-
DAY MORNING ON REPEAL
OF 18TH AMENDMENT
Ernest Cox, past commander of the
Amei’ican Legion in Texas, spoke in
the disti’ict court room at 11 o’clock
Saturday morning in an effort to
unite the people who are .in favor of
repeal of the eighteenth amendment.
He has been appointed chairman of
this senatorial district to work out
county organizations in an effort to
get people to understand just what
the new Twenty-first amendment to
the constitution is, and to get the
counties, to vote on local option at
the same time the eleceion is held
on August 26.
He explained that if*ten per cent
of the people in the county who vot-
ed in the last gubernatorial race
would sign a petition requesting the
county commissioners court to put
the local option question on the bal-
lot for the August 26 election, that
they would have the power to do so.
This petition would not force the
commissioners court to put the loca'
option question on the ballot, but if
the new amendment passes on Aug-
ust 26, this petition would then force
the court to call a special election
within a certain time. This is for
counties that v$ted dry before the
eighteenth amendment was passed.
Mr. Cox urged the people to work for
this so that the expense of an extra
election could be avoided and so that
if the amendment passed, it could go
into effect right away!
In his appeal for the repeal of the
eighteenth amendment, Mr. Cox stres-
sed the fact that Texas was losing-
thousands of dollars which were being
spent in Louisana and Mexico for
beer.
On Tuesday, June 27, there will be
two state conventions in Austin, one
to organize for the repeal of, and
the other to organize for support of
the eighteenth amendment. Every-
one is invited to attend one of these
conventions, but not both of them.
Everyone has a chancfe to get with
the group they want to support.
Will Moore of the Bend was elect-
ed chairman of the wet forces in Lam-
pasas County, and was given the
power to appoint a vice chairman and
precinct chairmen. He will also at-
tend the convention to be held in
Gregory Gymnasium at Austin Tues-
day, June 27, at 10 o’clock.
County Attorney J. J. Byrne acted
as chairman of the meeting and made
a few remarks on the subject after
which he called on Will Moore to
make a short talk. He was then fol-
lowed by Mr. Cox.
JOHN HICKMAN WINS
SILVER LOVING CUP
John Hickman, who has been vis-
iting here with his grandmother, Mrs.
P. V. Hickman and other relatives, is
the proud possessor of a silver loving
cup won at the State Tennis Tour-
nament at the San Antonio Country
Club during the week of June 5. He
and his partner, David Hickey, won
the boy’s doubles State championship.
John is the ten year old son of Mr.
and Mrs. P. V. Hickman Jr., of San
Antonio, who are former residents of
Lampasas.
GOVERNMENT LIFTS
RULE TO AID BLIND
LAMPASAS COUNTY
WORKING ON COTTON
ACREAGE REDUCTION
A. J. Cotton, County Agent of Bur-
net County, and T. D. Craddock were
in Lampasas Saturday meeting with
the farmers and explaining to them
the. terms of the cotton acreage re-
duction contracts.
Judge J. Tom Higgins has appoint-
ed a committee composed of Walter
Walker of Adamsville, K. B. Hallmark
of Kempner, and E. E. Kirby of Lo-
meta to act as a steering commit-
tee. This committee has in turn ap-
pointed committees in each school
district to interview the farmers and
see if they are willing to reduce their
cotton acreage 25 to 40%. Unlegc;
enough contracts are signed to get
the acreage reduced as much as 25%
of the total acreage, the whole plan
will be dropped.
There will be a meeting at 10
o’clock Monday morning in the district
court room, at which time all these
committees will report. Everyone is
invited to attend the meeting. All
of these contracts must be signed
and mailed in by next Friday, June
30. The acreage reduction program ’j
is of necessity being carried out very j
hurriedly and any help which you j
could give these committees would
be very much appreciated by them.
CLERKS RECEIVE LETTER
FROM THE GARTMAN’S
The clerks at Gartman’s Music Shop
have received a letter from Mr. Gart-
man at the world’s fair in Chicago
stating that they are having a won-
derful time. Mr. Gartman states shac
they are putting in 18 hours each
day trying to see everything.
They left Lampasas by car Mon-
day, June 12, and reached Chicago
Friday, June 16, a'nd spent one day
in St. Louis on the way up. At the
time the letter was written they were
just leaving for a boat trip to Michi-
gan City.
Mr. Gartman had a special mes-
sage for A. J. Ricks, stating that “we
listen to Station B-Y-C every day and
it is coming in fine.” We wonder if
Mr. Ricks believes that.
MRS. JESSE F. FULTON
DIES AT LOMETA HOME
TAXES COLLECTION
CONTRACT VOIDED
AUSTIN, June 23.—The supreme
court today held invalid a contract
entered into by the commissioners
court of Henderson County with R.
B. Dewitt and W. M. Harris for the
collection of delinquent taxes.
John W. Easterwood, a taxpayer,
brought suit to break the contract,
which provided for installation of a
plat book system by Dewitt and Har-
ris, who were to receive 15 per cent
of the delinquent taxes paid until
they had obtained $80,000, after which
they were to receive 5 per cent of the
collections.
The supreme eourt held it was void
for two reasqns, because it had not
been approved by the state comp-
troller and the attorney general, and
because it did not comply in other
respects with the law governing col-
lection of delinquent taxes.
HOUSTON NEGRO
GIVEN 410 YEARS
HOUSTON, Texas, June 22.—What
is believed to be the heaviest sen-
tence meted out in ' Texas was as-
sessed Atah Collier, 19-year-old ne-
gro bandit, when Judge Whit Boyd
ordered that he serve 410 years on
his plea of guilty to nine robbery
charges.
Collier was given ten years on a
charge of attempted robbery; twen-
ty-five years each in two robbery
cases and fifty years each on seven
other charges.
Collier was known as the cap ban-
dit because he held a gun in one hand
and held out his cap in the other
for loot.
The negro said that he did not ex-
pect to serve his full term because
he “might get killed.” He wouldn’t
explain his reason for the possibility.
‘THE DEVIL STILL LIVES’
Mr. and Mrs. P. V. Hickman Jr.,
aiid two sons, Harry and John, of
San Antonio, returned to their home
Saturday after a visit here with Mr.
Hickman’s mother, Mrs. P. V. Hick-
man.
Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Winters of
Bracketville are visiting here with
Mr. and Mrs. Keith Dawson.
WASHINGTON, June 23.—The rig-
id rule against selling (articles jin
federal buildings has been amended
just enough to permit blind persons
to dispose of pencils and newspapers.
This was the result of an"appeal to
President Roosevelt by societies in-
terested in assisting the blind. They
successfully pleaded a blind person
selling papers outide the postoffice or
other federal building should be al-
lowed to fifid shelter inside and do
business through the corridors.
The amended order does not mean,
however, that blind persons are giv-
en a rent-free newsstand in the fed-
eral building corridor..
Treasury department officials, who
have charge of federal buildings, said
today the blind person’s wares can
be only what he can carry in his
hands, such as papers and pencils, and
that if he brings a stool to sit on, he
must carry it away with him at night.
Furthermore, the permission does
not extend to all blind persons. Local
societies %f the blind have the respon-
sibility of selecting a limited num-
ber of such salesmen.
Mrs. T. R. O’Hair has returned to
her home here after a visit in Eldo-
rado with her brother, S. I. Nicies.
The above heading was a remark
made by one of our good preacher
friends as he glanced over some of
the headlines of the state daily pa-
pers in our office. We agree with
him absolutely and believe that the
devil is in our midst now just as
much as he ever was and is con-
stantly on the job. The world is full
of people who are possessed of the
devil and it is that class of people
that are constantly committing crime
that shock us every day as we read
of the happenings throughout our
state, United States and the world.
It sometimes seems that criminals
have just about as much organization
in their activities as the agencies
which are organized to combat crime.
There are instances in which the law-
less are really encouraged in their
activities by the silence maintained by
those of us who do not have the
backbone to speak up for fear of
hurting somebody’s feelings.
We are not a pessimist and do not
believe that the world is growing
worse, but some action should be tak-
en to bring to justice those who are
constantly defying the laws of our
land. The punishment for kidnaping,
murder and such crimes should be of
such a nature as to put some fear in
the hearts of those who are commit-
ting it every day throughout the land.
Relatives here received notice this
afternoon of the passing away of
Mrs. Jesse F. Fulton at her home in
Lometa. Mrs. Fulton had been criti-
cally ill for some time and the end
was expected by the family. The
deceased was among the older citi-
zens of. Lampasas County and had
lived in Lometa for years. Her hus-
oand is a brother of Mrs. J. W. Town-
sen of Lampasas. As we go to press
this afternoon the funeral arrange-
ments have not been made but it is
thought that burial will be 'some
time Sunday.

TWO REFORM SCHOOL
FUGITIVES CAUGHT
MEREDIAN, Tex., June 22.—Offi-
cers tonight continued their search
for two of four fugitives from the
state reformatory at Gatesville, want-
ed for the murder of Will Leonard,
48, blacksmith foreman at the re-
formatory.
Two of the boys, James Anderson
of Fort Worth, and Clarence Raines
of Centerville, were captured today
after a posse surrounded them on the
White ranch near here.
The other two, Grady Applegate
of Wood county and Williard Scott
of Oklahoma City, were believed hid-
ing near here tonight, and blood-

the boys attacked Leonard with an
ax, splitting his skull, then made
their escape in their victim’s auto-
mobile yesterday.
Meridian is two counties north of
Coryell county, in which the attack
occurred.

Quaid of the election of her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Paul W. Klipsch to the pres-
idency of the Dames Organization of
