A LETTER
FROM TEXAS.

Editor The Herald:
l am living in the western part o
Oklahoma and think this the bes
part in the state. Our town, Frede
rick, is situated on the Rock Islant
R. R. and has seven dry goods
stores. four hardware houses and two
gins, six family groceries, three
hotels, two blacksmith shops, two
banks and another under construction
and no saloon. Has about three
thousand inhabitants, which I think
is doing fine for a town little over
three years old.
The land is a dark, sandy loan
and very productive. One hand can
raise as much produce as three men
can gather Cotton is our principle
crop. Our average last year was
one half to three quarters of a bale
per acre. Oats from 40 to 20 bushels
per acre. There was some wheat
sown last fall and it is looking fine
up to this time. If nothing unfavor-
able happens. will make 20 to 80
bushels per acre. Land has adj
vanced one hundred per cent in the
last year. Quarter sections that sold
for twenty-five hundred dollars are
selling for five to six thousand. i
am living seven miles west of Fred
erick and in four miles of Red river.
My neighbOrs say l have the best
place in the county. My two boys,
the Oldest and the youngest, cult |
vate my place. Had fifty acres in |
cotton and made 81 bales. Thirty |
acres in corn and made one thousand
bushels. Five hundred bushels of
maze, ten acres in cane. They did
Ill the work themselves, except pick
ng cotton. We have had very mild
winter and the farmers are busy pre-
)aring for another crop. Ny wife
nd | intended visiting Maury coun-
y friends this month, but on account
# sickness in the family put our
isit off until sumner or fall.
]. K. POLK.
[Mr. Polk formerly lived in this /
ounty, on the Carriers Creek pike be-
ween Dark's Mill and Carriers Greek.

SURE TO GO
FOR CARMACK.

A prominent business man of Co.
lumbia received a letter Tuesday
from one of Williamson county's fore
most citizens in which the following
statement was made: Saturday was
4 red letter day for Carmack. Old
Williamson did herself proud and
made the Taylor men feel mighty
lonesome. If Maury county will give
him such reception, | know Carmack
will feel good. This county will sure
ly go for the red headed man."

DIR. IRA LANpRIrH's ADDRESS.

DR.. IRA LANDRITH's ADDRESS
? DR.. Ira Landrith delivered a most
masterful address at the First Metho-
dist Church Sunday night. In logic
c YVES overpowering; in delivery it
was fo,csful and inspiring. It was
the appeal of a great heart, warmed
by the Christ love for his brother
man; it was the spoken thought of a
great mind, stirred for the safety and
welfare Of Society; it was the cour-
| aseous message of a manly man seek
ing to burn upon the consciences Of
his hearers his own deep convictions
upon a question, than which, for the
veal or woe of this country, there is
no greater question. We shall not at
tempt to epitomize or discuss the ad-
tress. We can add nothing to it to
those who heard it; those who missed
it have only themselves to blame.
Dir. Landrith touched upon one
point to which we wish to give a lit
tie more emphasis 1t is frequently
said" he said, that preachers ought
not to mix up in politics" We wish
20 call the attention of our readers
to this fact; But for the preachers, the
Adams law would not be on the books |
today. But for the preachers, this
tidal wave of temperance would never !
have been stirred in Tennessee. These
original temperance men," who are
now climbing into the band wagon as
last as they can, would still be wink
ing at the saloon keeper and traffick-
ing for his vote, but for the preachers.
But for the preachers, did we say
Yes; but for four preachers. But for
Landrith and Folk and Harris and
Petty, temperance sentiment would
still be dormant in Tennessee. Others
helped them here and there, more or
less, but these four men carried the
burden, stood and took the brunt of
the battle, and deserve more honor ,
and credit for the splendid work that /
mas been wrought, than any other :
'orty men in Tennessee. 9
We do not blame the saloon keeper +
or wanting to keep preachers out of 9
politics. The less preachers have to !,
10 with politics, the more the liquor a
rattle flOurishes. We agree with DR.. Il
4andrith that the church should stand Il
oddly and fearlessly and without Z
pology for Civic Righteousness. and q
AIRY the battle into the very camps il
the enemy. 1t is, as he says, the W
aloon, and the saloon bum; the gam. h
n, the boodler, and the candidate W
no trains with the saloon bum, the m
amber and the boodler, who should to
g ostracised from the politics of the
ountry; not the preachers and other p,
followers of Christ. The
etter man is the safer it is to risk III
e politics of the country in his so
,nds.
The fight will soon be on in this III
untry; and when it comes we sin of
rely hope that no preacher in this ca
wn or county will think his calling
0 high or sacred or himself too i'm RI.

Bob Taylor was disappointed and
chagrined at the size of his crowd
when he spoke in Franklin. Today
the Carmack men are so delighted
and enthused at the magnificent ora

have kept the wires busy sending the

A BIT OF POLITICAL HISTORY.

In his address at the First Metho
dist Church last Sunday night, DR.
Landrith referred to an occasion in
the struggle for temperance legis-
lation in Tennessee, when a preach
er, who afterwards became a bishop,
addressed a Democratic gubernator-
ial convention, asking for a platform
declaration in favor of local option.
DR.. Landrith was of the opinion that
scant courtesy was shown the speak
er II we are correct in our surmise
as to the occasion to which he refers
we do not agree with him on that
proposition. We take it that Dr. Hoss.
then editor of the Nashville Christian
Advocate, now Bishop, was the speak
err he referred to, and the convention
was some twelve or fifteen years ago
The writer of this was a member of
The convention, and heard the speech.
and no speaker who addressed that
audience received more courteous
treatment. closer attention, or much |

PATTERsoN-THE PRETENDEF

- GnOSN-l TIE FHE ENDER
The following editorial appeared in
the Memphis Scimitar, Mr.. Patter
sons home paper, on March IA
Mr.. Lincoln said, You can fool all
the people some of the time, and some
Of the people all the time, but you
can't fool all the people all the time
This is a truism so often repeated
that it has become a household say
ing, and the verify of it is recognized
nearly everywhere
But your over-zealous office-seeker
seems to overlook Mr.. Lincoln's phil
osophic observation, and spends his
life in the vain effort to fool all the
people all the time.
Congressman M. r. Pattersons
campaign for Governor calls this to
mind
He does not appear to think that
the people can tell a hawk from a
handsaw, legitimate reason from spe-
cious argument, and honest reform
from false pretenses.
He is campaigning with the voice
of Jacob, and grabbing for the nomi-
nation with the hand of Esau.
He proclaims himself an apostle
Of fair play, and yet he filched the
vote OF his own county in after-dark,
mob mass meetings.
He vaunts himself as Democracys
lext friend, yet wherever he fails to
larry county he does not hesitate to
livide the party into warning factions,
provided he can get handful of re-
alcitrants and soreheads to support
lis programme of destruction.
Pretending to be an apostle of De 7
nocracy, he asks the Democratic par. 1
y of the State for the highest honor /
,ithin it's gift, while he denounces
ne Democratic organization and the
Democratic administration from ey- 4
ry stump. IL
He goes into the highways and the
ways expostulating like Peter the
Lermit against machine politics, with
machine up his sleeve designed to
ontrol and dominate the Democracy
,r years to come.
He inveighs agains Democratic n
ection laws, all the while jingling in n
is pocket money obtained from an !
nee given him under Democratic >,
ection laws.
He denounces Revenue Agents, I,
Id wants the laws creating them al
polished, but he does not offer any :,
Ing in its stead to protect the peo- M
from the tax-dodger who escapes ~
oper assessment by fraud. :.
He is denouncing machine politics 49,
d at the same time is employing I'M he
rupulous, unfair and demoralizing 40
