Sees Machinery Demonstrated


The following named gentle
men made a trip to Hereford last
Friday returning Saturday. The
nature of this visit was to see
the machinery demonstrated ia
bringing the water to the top of
the ground. While Lubbock has
an unlimited supply of water the
problem that has heretofore
confronted us. was getting it to
the surface in sufficient quantity.
Mr.. Bullock who was one of the
party, informs us that they were
well paid for their trip. The
pump used in the wells they Wis
tied was the Lanepump, manu-
featured IN Houston and the en-
CINE used is the Bessemer Oil
Engine. In one of the wells
which was SO feet deep. this
machinery was lifting from l.
800 to 1000 gallons to the min
ute. Following are the names of
those who were in the crowd:
Frank Wheelock, Geo. Boles, Mr..
Spencer. Geo. Bean. L. o. Bur-

the civilized world, could, now be so
unmindful of the common laws Of de-
eency as to so far forget himself and
make such a dastardly assertion.
I think in view of this denial that
we should make a plea to the public
press that this denial be given as much
publicity as the accusation. The asser-
ton of the possession of virtue does
not prove it, nor does the charge Of
immortality in another prove itself with
out evidence. I am attempting no de-
tense of Mr.. johnson. Simply asking
for fair play. While I agree with Mr..
johnson that he is free man, I would
remind him that with the privilege Of
seeking his own pleasure, care must
also be taken that it does no harm to
others, but rather advances the general
good. Tonight we have asked for the
truth, and I say to Mr.. johnson that
he can depend upon this, "the truth
shall make you free"
Booker T. Washington was sent to

elared that the great wizard of Tus-
kegee was beaten up in New York City
in 1911, for peeping into the wrong
keyhole and for attempting to enter
the wrong fat occupied by a White
lady, and he intimated that Brother
Washington must have been looking
for some light chicken at the time he
received his beating, and attempted to
beat it or run away in an effort to
save his life and reputation.

HON. EpWARp D. GREEN.

Hon. Edward D. Green, Republican
for reelection to the legisla-
ture Of Illinois, from the First Sena-
torial District; is so well and favOrably
known, to the people, throughout the
length and breadth of this state that
he needs no long introduction to the
many thousand readers of The Broad
Az.
The terms that he has served in the
legislature in the past, have been Of
lasting credit to himself and to the
race which he has so eminently rep
resented.
The two most noticeable pieces Of leg
islation, which he successfully cham
pioned and had placed on the statute
books of this state; which are in full
force and Of vital effect at the present
time, are his Anti-MOb Law, which
gives the governor of Illinois the pow
er to remove the sheriff of any county
from Office, or other higher officials,
who permit Mob and Lynch Law, TO
