I THE BATTLE OF SHILOH HILL., !
ferment of a hearing until the
October term of court, 1903. In
your petition for that injunction
you made affidavit to allegations
that the court in his memorable
written opiniqn said: “There
has been not even a syllable
of evidence that would even
tend to create a suspicion that
such allegations were true.”
You have been as unfair in' giv-
ing local option a just trial, and
when you applied for another
election just as soon as you could j J It was the sixth of April, just at the break Nof day,
do so under the law,- when local j g The drums and fifes were playing for us to march away;
I The horrors of that field did my heart with anguish fill,
J Come all you valiant soldiers, a story I will’tell,
{ It is of a noted battle, you all remember well;
{ It was an awful strife and will cause your blood to chill,
| It was the bloody battle that was fought on Shiloh Hill.
option had been in force only ten
months and4 few days, you per-
sisted in bringing on the election
at the earliest possible date, and
your anti commissioners gladly
acceded to your demand to fix
the election on a day in the week
when you thought the farmers
could not so well spare the time
from, a busy season to go to the
polls. Bulj be not deceived, gen-
tlemen, the voters of Lampasas
county are considering carefully
the wl^ole matter and they will
go out and vote.
The fact that the antis have
waited until the very close of the
campaign to go before the people
with any kind Of defense is self
* evident that they mean to take
an unfair advantage. They love
darkness rather than light. They
have had two weeks to put their
claims before the people and if
they had a just cause or single
merit they would have wanted
the voters to knowy it. But the
last two or three days before the
election they will flood the coun-
try with all kinds of stuff for the
purpose of drying to deceive the
people. Look out for it and be-
lieve nothing without it’s backed
up by proof of its genuineness.
We appeal to the country voter
in sympathy with our cause to
fail not to be on hand on election
day. Reinember that in town,
the saloon has its many victims
and hangers-on, who stand ready
to do, its bidding whenever an
- election comes on, and not a man
of them fails to vote. This will
be no exception,for |heir poll taxes
have all been paid.
( Let not the people be deceived.
The only question before you is:
“Shall we keep the saloons
closed?” The use of liquor for
mechanical, medicinal and scien-
tific purposes is legitimate and is
not comprehended in any prohi-
bition legislation. It is the open
saloon we seek to prohibit; the
open saloon system must go. In
this we would deal by1 law with
whiskey just as the law deals with
other things which are being put
to a hurtful use.
| When first m}T feet were treading the top of Shiloh Hill, j
| About the hour of sunrise, the battle it began,
| And before the day was ended we fought them hand to hand {
| The horrors of that field did my heart with anguish fill, S
| For the wounded and the dying that lay on Shiloh Hill. j,
% There were men of ev’ry nation, laid on those bloody plains
$ Fathers, sons and brothers were numbered^ with the slain,
I That has caused so many homes with mourning to be filled
| All from the bloody Battle that was fought on Shiloh Hill
| The wounded men were crying for help from ev’ry where
1 While others who were dying were offering God their
I prayer.
| “Protect my wife arid children if it be Thy holy will”
| Such were the prayers I heard that night,—there on'
$ Shiloh Hill!
| And early on next morning we were Culled to arms again
| Unmindful of the wounded, unmindful of the slain;
| The struggle was renewed and ten thousand men were
| killed
| This was the second conflict of the famous Shiloh Hill.
IBlIfe, * s.-
| Before the day was ended the battle ceased to roar
| And thousands of brave soldiers had fell to rise no more
| They left their vacant ranks for other ones to fill,
| And now their mouldrihg bodies lie cold on Shiloh Hill.
| And now my song is ended about those bloody plains
I I hope the sight by mortal man will ne’er be seen again.
I But I pray to God, the Saviour, if it be His holy will,
| To save the souls of all who fell on bloody Shiloh Hill.

The irrepressible Cyclone Da-
vis left Monday morning to re-
turn to Milam county, where he
said he would engage in the
“stump pulling business.” He
added, however, that the stump
he was going to attend to was
wormy and rotten and he* has an
easy job before him to remove it.
The question has; been pro-
pounded in a conspicuous place
in Lampassas, “why did Cyclone
leave Milam to come to Lam-
pasas?” Mr. Davis answered the
question Sunday night to a jam-
med crowd at the courthouse, It
is hoped the anti^ caught the an-
swer. In the same connection
he told why he now goes back to
Milam.
The claim that visitors to Lam-
pasas as a resort will be. kept
away if saloons are voted out, is
a subterfuge and a, fraud on its
face. The prohibition finance com-
mittee will pay $500 for any man
produced who will say he refuses
to send his family to Lampasas
fora vacation of pleasure and
health because the saloons are
voted out.

frofii bringing or sending his
children to Lampasas to be edu-
cated in our schopls because
there are no saloons.

“It won’t prohibit,” or “the
