The business men of Lubbock
are fast falling in line for a good
freight road to Brownfeld and
are pledging support financially.
They realize, as only any good
business man should that a great
portion of their big wagon trade
comes from the rich, sandy loan
of Terry and Yoakum counties
and are willing to put out the
cash to show how much they ap-
preciate such substantial trade.
They are not only liberal adver-
tisers in the trade territory
papers but they wish to demon
strate their superior trade ad-
vantages by putting money on
our roads. There lays a few
miles of ugly sand between the
two points. mainly in Terry
county, and the proposition is to
make a road across these places.
While we realize that our Com
missioners Court is without au-
thority to make a road across
sections or to spend the county
money thereon, there is no
strings on their going north

out a road straight east and

Pastor Says He Was Supreme
On Food Matters

New York, January 3.-The laws
laid down in the eleventh chapter of
Leviticus were violated by thousands
of diners on the succulent lobster and
similar delicacies during New Year
spreads at the fashionable Broadway
restaurants. Rev. DR.. Oscar Haywood,
pastor of the Collegiate Baptist church
of the Covenant, quoted those laws to
his parishoners and declared, we
must go back and board with Moses il
we want to live 100 years"
DR.. Haywood declared that the Zion
City founded by Dowie had the lowest
death rate of any organized commun-
ity in the world and attributed 1t to
the fact that only such foods as were
allowable under the Mosaic law were
sold and eaten there. He quoted from
the eleventh chapter of Leviticus pre-
scribing hygienic meats and forbid
ding the consumption of oysters,

This man STRONGLY
Relieves In PECANS
Has $4,000 Trees Planted
Near WayCrOsS

Waycross, Ga, January 3-While
there may be larger pecan orchards in
the state than any located around
Waycross, a Waycross man has hte
distinction of making the largest
years planting that has eveh been
known in the state A Clarke Snede-
ker, who moved here few years ago
from West Virginia and who saw i'm
mediately the prospects of the pecan
industry, has just completed his sec
ond planting of pecans within twelve
months, bringing the total for the year
1911 up to $4,000 trees. The pecans
were planted on land he controls east
of Waycross, and are all of the finest
paper shell variety. Mr.. Snedeker is
planning to make an even greater
planting next year, and with this III
view has let contracts for stumping
and clearing vast acreage, work on
this to start at once.
Ms. Snedeker is one of the few OF
this section who show their faith in
the culture of oranges and lemons by
devoting considerable time and money
to them. He has an acreage devoted
to lemons that have attained a good
growth and soon will be bearing. The
oranges, also, are holding up splendid

CHAMP CLARK IS
NOW LOOMING UP
West Virginia Gets Behind
the Speaker

Washington, January 3.-The an
nouncement that Senator Pettigrew, of
South Dakota, who has been staunch
adherent of Woodrow Wilson's Candi-
dacy for president, is endeavoring to
corral the South Dakota delegation
for Clark, has given rise to much
speculation by hackers of the rival
candidates for the democratic nomina-
ton simultaneously with the Petit
from Massachusetts that George Fred
Williams, heretofore prominent on the
Wilson band wagon, has declared for
Champ Clark.
Is the Jackson Day dinner to be
transformed into a Clarkfest? is
question asked by many party men.
Why has West Virginia bought more
tickets to the dinner than any other
state? Why have the West Virginia
representatives WED with etach other
in the scramble for tickets? 1t is no
secret that the Panhandle States dele
cation is for anybody but Wilson.
The democratic organization papers
In West Virginia have been backing
Cleark ever since the November elec-
tlon that resulted in the democratic
landslide. There appears to be immi-
nent danger of the Jackson Day dinner
becoming Champ Clark dinner. The
speakers friends here are intent upon
making the most of this supposedly
non-partisan gathering of democra-
cy's hosts to advance the claims of the
Missourian.
