Hen. A, S. Rollins Announces His Candidacy
For District Judge.

This IS a great state and it has
produced many men who have
fought their way to the top of the
ranks in all professions. Can
yon City is not behind when it
comes to progressiveness and to
that energy which leads up to
the highest of that class of citi-
zenship which makes the best
class of governing and judicial
men. In this city resides A. S.
Rollins, an attorney, who, by his
untiring efforts in his younger
days, succeeding in preparing
himself for his profession with
foundation of the knowledge of
law as good as can be acquired in
the Law Department of the Uni
versity of Texas and there is not
a better law school in the South.
Mr.. Rollins graduated from
the Law Department of the State
University in 1850. since which
time he has been practicing his
chosen profession with verygreat
success, the last seven years of
the time in the Courts of the
Panhandle, where he has become
noted as being especially well
versed in judicial procedure
Born in Hunt county, Mr.. Rol-
Inns is a native Texan, and has
grown up with the development
of this state. Keen of mind he
has always noted those things
which tend to develop, not only
the best interest of the profess
ion to which he is devoted, but
which will develop the entire cit
izenship to the highest standard
of excellence.
In our home town and county
no one has more friends or is
held in higher estimation than
Mr.. Rollins. Therefore we es
TEEN it a pleasure to state that
we are authorized to announce
Mr.. Rollins as a candidate for
the office of District Judge of
the 47th Judicial District COM
posed of Potter, Donley, Arm
strong and Randall counties. By
training and by experience Mr..
Rollins is well qualified to fill the
office to which he aspires and
should the voters of the District
elect Mr.. Rollins we feel sure
that they could not have made a
better selection.
For the time reaching back
further than the memory of the
oldest inhabitant, ,both the Dis
trict Judge and the District At
torney have been residents of
Potter county and even now
there are two candidates from
that place for the Attorneyship
and candidate for the Judgship
and the people of the district be-
gin to believe that it is time that
some of the sister counties of
Potter should have some recog-
milton in the official family of the
district especially when availa-
BILE material is such that a change
would not make matters worse
and would probably better the
existing conditions.
! Canyon City and Randall Coun-
ty is glad to endorse Mr.. Rollins
in his candidacy.

General Conference Decides On Seven Bishops

1t was definitely settled by a
vote of the general conference OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church
South, that seven bishops are to
be selected at this conference.
This will be the greatest number
of bishops selected at any sess-
ion of the general conference of
| this church to date. Resolutions
to reduce the nun Der to five and
six were defeated by an empha-
tic majority, so decided as to in
dicate that it would have been
easy to have increased the mum
Der.
There are seven vacancies to
be filed by tomorrow's election.
1t is the consensus of opinion
that the election of bishops, Off
GERS and editors will last nearly
a week, and several thousand
ballot blanks have been ordered.
The field Of candidates at the
present time consists of Rev, j.
G. Kilgo, North Carolina confer
ence; Rev, w Il. Lambuth, Ten
nessee; Rev Collins Denny, Bal

According to the provisions of

located in Texas west of the 98th
meridian, by a committee com
posed of the Governor, the Lieu
tenant Governor, and the State
Superintendent of Public In
struction. The Governor ap-
pointed Hon. John Marshall of
Whitesboro speaker of the House
of Representative to act in
his stead. The personnel of
the locating committee was
Lieutenant Governor A. B.
Davidson, Hon. John Marshall,
Speaker and r. B. Cousins,
State Superintendent of Public
Instruction. After listening to
advocates of the claims of TWEEN
ty-nine towns and visiting seven

Septem ber 2, 1909, selected
Canyon City as the place in
which the school should be
located, the people having shown
their great desire for the loca-
tion of the school by the gener-
Gus contribution of a campus of
of 40 acres of land convenient
and beautiful, 500, 10000 to it's
construction and equipment.
The state appropriated xonly
$50, 100000. "
On December 4. 1909, Waller,
Shaw and Field, architects, Fort
Worth, Texas, were selected to
draw plans and specifications,
and on February /, 1910, the
contract was awarded Holderness
Oates and Lee, builders, STAN
ford, Texas, to build the house
for S69,000.00 On February 16,
1910, dirt was first broken for
foundation and work then began.
On May 24 the corner stone was
laid with Masonic ceremonies in
the presence of the largest
crowd of people ever assembled
on the plains of Texas. On Sep
tember 20, 1910, the books open
for the registration of students,
and work will begin at that time.
The formal opening and dedi-
cation has been set for Decem-

urged Benny
"'Fear not said He. for mighty

young man in the straw sat quiet
and listened.
Whatever encouragement for
beasts might be in Christmas

Niger. Unhurried, with the sleepy
note of a bird going to roost, his
piping voice plodded on, telling a
tale which he did not doubt. With
the full angel song he ended:
"All glory be to God on high,
And on the earth be peace.
Goodwill henceforth from Heaven
to men
Begin and never cease"
Peace! Goodwill"

There was an empty stall next,
where would be put the other horse
arriving with Doctor Harding, and
here the man slowed himself. When
the clergyman led the animal to
to the opening, then, while his
hands were busy, would be the
time. He might have to struggle,
to knock him down perhaps-he
set his teeth and drew in breath.
1t was not pleasant to knock down
such a friend, but it had to be done,
and he would be careful not to
injure him. A trained boxer knows
how.
He sat drawn together, in the
thick straw. waiting. Niger, III

and put his black nose through the
opening above and sniffer and

feel his warm breath. So settled

his nerves were alert, and he sat

wondered. the side door of the
building. which faced him as he
sat hidden, opened. A late moon
had risen, making the landscape as
clear as day, and against the white
ground he saw, astonished, the
figures of two children sharply sill
houtted.
The big girl held the boy by the
hand as they peered in. The man,
unprepared for this complication,
watched them, troubled, uncertain,
and Immediately the boy spoke In
a full sweet voice.

boy said. Lets go back-rd

But the girl stepped forward,

She dropped the boys hand and
was at the door of the box-stall.

his head toward her.
The boy had followed, stumbling
across the floor. maybe he doesn't

The man in the stall listened In
