Roosevelt has had two terms, and
he left the country in the grasp
of a severe financial panic when,
apparently, no real cause for it
could be given. President Taft,
his competitor for the nomina-
ton. has not measured up to the
hopes Of the people, or the ex-
pectation of his supporters. In
fact his administration has been
one great mass of disappoint-
ments and failures. This is to
be a Democraticsyear, and glow

Mr.. Taft or Mr.. Roosevelt
pledged thereto will not be suf-
ficient to get the enthusiastic

they killed within 8 miles of

they nearly skinned his head all

her husband to the grave; and
was left with several small chill

great measure on this her dear
son. He was brought in and
buried with great decency. The

Rain In Western Texas.

TIL ough the courtesy of DR..
C. T. Keyes, we are in receipt
of a copy of the. San Angelo.
(Texas) Daily Standard which
announces in big headlines the
fall of a rain in that section of
Texas. Describing the fall the
STANDARD says:
Practically the entire trade
territory of San Angelo for a ra-
dius of 100 miles received rain
ranging from a steady drizzle in
and around Sonora, Eldorado and
Ch1istoval to a half inch in San
Angelo and from two to three
inches at Miles and other points.
"The rainfall in San Angelo, ac-
cording to the rain guage, meas
ured exactly one-half inch up un-
til noon. Precipitation CO m :
menced at many points early in
the night Monday night and con-
tinued throughout the day Tues
day. with showers falling at in
tervals. "
The people of this portion of
the country can hardly realize
the benefits to be derived from
the light rain which is above de-
scribed. In many portions of
the arid West no rain falls for
years and only through irriga-
ton can crops be made. Here it
is a question of getting rid of
the water and not the quantity
that falls.

Woodman Meeting.

Mr.. T. E. Patterson, sovereign
manager Woodmen of the World
for this territory with headquart-
ers at Chattanooga, Tenn and
H. F. Simrall, state manager for
Mississippi and Alabama. with
headquarters at Columbus, Miss,
were with the local camp Tues
day night.
Mr.. Patterson in a short ad-
dress explained the growth of
the Order. setting forth the
amount of money that had ac-
cumulated, the relation of assets
to liabilities, and the standing of
the order with insurance people.
The Order has SIS, 900, 900 in the
emergency fund, which will not
be drawn on except in cases
where the funds set aside to
meet death losses have been ex-
hausted. Mr.. Patterson is en-
thusiastic in his prophecies for
the future of the Woodmen and
set out in plain facts the great
benevolent work which the or
ganization is doing in meeting its
obligations to the widow and
orphan.
Mr.. Simrall gave a resume of
the work being done in his ter
ritory, where there has been a
healthy growth all along, and the
future was never so full of prom
Use to the Order. There are 49,
600 soverigns in Mississippi, this
being he second state in point
of membership. Texas is the
only state that exceeds Mississip-
pi, having 173, 200 members.
The local camp has secured the
last day of the Tri County Fair
for Woodman day and an invita-
ton has been extended to Sow
ereign Banker Morris Sheppard
OF 1exas, to be present and de-
liver an address. Mr.. Sheppard
is at present a member of con-
gress and one of the most distin-
guished public speakers of the
day. Mr.. Simrall promised to
secure Mr.. Sheppard, for the oc-
casion if possible. =

Good Roads Election in Fifth.

The voters of the Fifth super
visors district of Lee county, will
be called on to vot on June !,
on the question of issuing bonds
for the purpose of raising money
to build roads. The first and
third districts have voted favor
ably on the proposition; the Sec
ond turned it down.
In the third district, where
about ten miles of macadam roads
have already been constructed,
there is practically a unanimous
sentiment in favor of going on
with the good work. In addi-
tion to the ten miles of road now
uncompleted and in course OF
construction, the people of the
district are calling for the issu
ance of more bonds and the build
ing of more macadam roads. If
another election were necessary
to authorize the issuance of more
bonds we feel safe in predicting
that not more than ten per cent
of the qualified electors OF the
district would vote against the
proposition.
We cite these facts for the pur-
pose of letting our good friends
in the fifth district know that
our people appreciate the value
of good roads after the exper-
ience of the past winter, and
suggest that in our opinion they
will make a great mistake if they
turn the bond issue down in their
election of June /. What has
proven good for US. can't be very
bad for them.
