Colouitt's Foolish Claim

Colquitt claims the. credit for
abolishing the whipping strap IN
the penitentlary. Yet he torm-
erly had plenty of opportunity
to advocate that doctrine as
state senator, but failed to mem
ton it. Then in his two cam
paign platforms he had opportu-
nifty to expatiate on il, but
again forgot to mention it. Then
while acting as governor he
could easily have included this
idea in any one of a score of
messages to the Legislature.
But he overlooked it. While
governor he knew that his exc
cutive order to the authorities
at the penitentiary would have
abolished this whipping bust
ness, but he didn't take time on
forethought to write such an
order. A night message of
fifty words at a cost of fifty
cents would have stopped the
cruelty, yet he never thought Of
il. This strange new spell OF
humanitarianism never came
over him till he discovered that
Ramsey was advocating the
adjustment Of the strap. Then
he began the most Spectacular
campaign for il. And yet. 20
this day, he retains in the states
employ the only man who could
have issued an order to whip
convicts on the state railroad. -

scattered many hundreds Of
dollars out among the poor peo-
pie of a large territory at that
time including Lubbock county

bought all kinds Of produce from
dry bones to fat cattle and sheep
wool and cotton and was a
good business man.
Col. Shropshire was a brother
Of A. j. Shropshire, formerly of
Lubbock, now Of Abilene, and
l.. Shropshire, of this city. and
also of Mrs. j. b. Neal.
