THE "GOOD OLD WAY"

between p. w Clement and f. ID. Proctor Il pms
the matter down neo a small area when it says:
Should p. w. Clement and his supporters con
troll the convention, safe guess principal Panks
of his platform could be made
"If Fletcher d. Proctor or any other with
out personal platform controls the convention, We
shall not know much about the platform until the
port OF the committee is read.
In other words MR. Proctor SO far as we under
stand his position, stands for the good old way which
has served the party 50 well in years gone by"
The good old way gave Vermont one
radical, important reform.
The good old way stood pat for prohibition 20
years, until the New Vermont idea forced local OPP
non on to our statutes.
The good old way permitted gradual slack
ia affairs that today wasting thousands of
the taxpayers money each year.
The " good old way has steadily blocked prog

and kept the pick Of Vermont inellec tA manhood

The advocates Of the good old way have stood
calmly by and political machine take charge of
Yermont's pablc business, until today group Of
bosses and petty politicians have the erontery to name
our governors two, four and SIX years in advance
Is the good old way pleasing and ,tsfactoryso
the voter who desires think and act for himselfi
Does the good old way promise reform in the
way vermoat's affairs are managed
Dare We trust the good old way to institute
measures of reform and progress
The 6 good cid way promises nothing has per
formed nothing, is capable Of nothing but the selfish
advancement at certain selfish politicians.

THE METHODIST REVIVAL.
Larger Crowds Attended Both the
Services Yesterday.

J Larger crowds attended both ser
vices at Centenary church yesterday
and both the services were very graf
flying to the pastor. The afternoon
service was concluded by a consecra
ton service in which everybody pres
ent participated and request for
prayer. At the vening service there
were two professions and a good
praise meeting.
The text for the afternoon service
was Matt. 19:21.22. The points of the
1te4'-i7'7-z -ti4 ar uJigsia Ammo
earhestness and personal surrender to
Christ are NOT necessarily the same.
outward conformity to partic-
ular commandments does not neees-
sarily imply perfect devotion to God
Third. no one can be a true disciple
Of Jesus without willingness to sur
render whatever conflicts with his dis
cipleship. The pastor strongly con-
demned abnormal christian develop
ment, insisting that God required a
character, and was will
ing and anxious to provide grace to
help in the perfection of faith and
character.
At the evening service the text was !
Heb. 1922. The subject was the |
'Atonement" The points of the SER
non were: First. the memorable pen
atty of violated law. Second, how
God could in justice pardon. Third,
who could suffer in our stead?
The services continue daily at the

MAKES AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT
AFTER A VISIT TO THE ORCH
ARDS OF EAST TEXAS.

Secretary Sam H. Dixon of the Tex.
as State Horticultural Society was in
the city this morning. en- route to
Houston from a visit to the orchards
in Cherokee and Nacogdoches coun-
ties. While here Mr.. Dixon gave the
Herald a copy of the following report
on the condition of the fruit crop,
which he filed with the Associated
Press at noon:
AN examination OF the peach orch
ards of this section of the state de-
velops the fact that the damage to the
fruit crop is not so great as at first
reported. The injury is confined large
ly to the valley lands The hill lands
on which the majority of the orchards
are located, will yield an abundant
crop. The liberia is the greatest suf-
ferer, but a fair crop Of this variety
is assured. About a third of the to-
matoes in cold frames are killed. but
sufficient plants are available in hot
beds to replant. The territory north
and west of Jacksonville report the
greatest loss of fruit and tomatoes.

pany with President Hearne of the
