Apparently wel-authenticated re-

villas victory Is logical enough;
in fact, the Constitutionalists should

SOUTH SIDE MILK ROUTE Is
PLANNED.
Holly Commercial Club II st Work
On Scheme ~ Get MIX TO tho
Market.

N. e. Berry. acting on the behalf
of the Holly Commercial Club. is
trying to get a milk route establish
cd between Webb and Holly.
He has been looking into the mat
ter pretty thoroughly and estimat-
es at present that the dry land
farmers between here and Webb
would be shipping about fifty
cans of milk every day II there
was some way to get 1t to the
railroad.
His plan is to get enough busi-
ness and support promised to pay
some one to put in an auto truck
to make daily trips. He took the
matter up with the Helvetia Com
densed Milk factory at Lamar a
few days ago. and that company
is taking the matter under advis--
ment. but 1t is believed that 1t
will rest upon the farmers along
the line to put the thing through.
Such a scheme would mean a
great advancement to the south
country An auto truck making
daily trips would mean the estab-
lishment of a daily mail service.
The truck would also handle light
freight and more or less business
would be done along that line.
The plan would build up a business
that would be noticed by the rail-
roads and would encourage rail-
road building into that prosperous
and fast developing south country.
The people down that way
should encourage the proposition
and they will find that 1t will
greatly help them.-Holly Call.

Two years ago the country was
plastered with literature sent out
by the hired man OF Spreckles Fac
eral Sugar Refinery. claiming that
but for the tariff sugar would cost
the consumer two cents a pound
less.
The domestic producers contendee
that the object of the importers and
refiners was to remove the competi.
tion of beet sugar which was invad-
ing the market and consumers
would. derive little IL any benefit
from free sugar. and II any. only
temporary. Chairman Underwood
believing. so he stated. that the
industry would survive under free
sugar, his content ton, as expressed
in an official report. was that the
refining interests OF the country
were entitled to first consideration
and present conditions resulting
from the operation OF the free sugar
schedule. indicate that this schedule
was drawn for the benefit OF the
seaboard refiners. rather than for
the benefit of the consumer Of
sugar.
That free suSar will destroy the
domestic beet sugar industry. as pre-
dictedby those interested in that
industry. is evidenced by the fact
tnat even the 25 per cent reduction
In the sugar tariff which became
effective March /. and the slump In
the Wholesale price of granulated
sugar. has compelled IL beet sugar
factories to close their doors. which
means the loss of millions of dollar,

tariff on sugar would be vast ben
fit to the seaboard refiners of i'm

REPEAL OF TOLLS EXEMPTIONS
Speaker CLARK Closes Debate Against
President Wilson's Policy and
In Favor Of American
Rights.

mand for a repeal of the toll ex-
emptions to please Great Britain
was spectacular as the speaker Of
the house spoke strongly against
the policy of his own party, and
while it was temporarily losing
fight in the long run it will meet
the approval of the American
voters.
He argued at length against the
presidents contention and declared
that THE amazing request of the
president for the repeal, like the
peace OF God. passeth all under
standing"
He disclaimed any personal issue
between the president and himself
and added that II the president
had reasons which are not utterly
untenable and which compel him
to make this request" he had not
given them to the house. He diff
rered with the presidents state
ment that toll exemption was "a
mistaken economic policy"
Referring to published declara'
tions that his opposition to the
president was the opening gun OF
1916" the speaker declared he had
told all to whom he had spoken
about the 1916 situation. that II
the presidents administration were
a success. Mr.. Wilson would be re-
elected. and. II It were failure

having" As to his own future.
the speaker insisted he could be
happy without the presidency. the
speakershp or even with retirement
to private life. should his constitu-
ency SO determine.
II have this to say: The fact
that am making this fight for our
platfor pledges may end my public
career. There are many things
worse than being defeated for con-
gress. or defeated for the speaker
ship. or even worse than to be de-
Teated for the presidency. and one
OF them Is to reuudiate the platform
ON which you are elected. II my

me with unshaken fidelity. should

ton of my wife and children. In

He contended. first. that the
trans-continental railroads wuold be
the chief beneficiaries of a repeal.
Further referring to the presi-
dents attitude. Speaker Clark said
that "if we have entered into an
engagement which forbids US to
manage our own affairs. then we
must abide by 1t. however Foolish

ment. / think he is wholly In the
wrong, at Least SO far as the treaty
bears on our own domestic situation

for the breaking of well-consider-
ed party pledge"
"The repeal" he said, means the
practical abandonment of the Mon.
roe doctrine. which the American
people will MAINTAIN at all hazards.
Those who assert that the Monroe
doctrine is dead, reckon without

bers.
Alas. Thou'rt gone away. my play
mate true;
OF all my friends thou vert the best.
Thy pure. young mind I so well knew,
By noble thoughts to me exprest.
Our Childish thoughts-they ran as
About paper dolls, and tricks, and
toys,
And innocence put the seal upon
Our mutual thoughts and mutual
joys.
Then aTiiction came TO you, my jewel,
And -relentless-sought to end.
By methods harsh, and o. so cruel.
The ties that bound me to my friend.
But, Fate rocked not with love divine,
While with Borrowing heart I
cheered;
And when Fate shut out the light of
day,
You were filed with hope and love
anon.
At last the lowering Angel came,
Yet hopefully you fingered here;
His icy touch you still over came,
Pleading to stay with loved ones
here.
The ways OF God mysterious are,
And none may them gainsay;
OFT blessings come, when most we
fear,
'Tis HIS Omniscient way.
Weep not, o, parents, she IS not dead,
Whom you and I loved dearly;
A Golden Crown she wears instead,
In realms Of endless glory.

RIVEs AND MAKES ARRANGE
MENTS TO THAT END.

Fl. Schmidt, travelling representative
for the United States Fidelity and
Guarantee Company, arrived here as

fore that he anticipated no trouble in
collecting the city's deposits as the
same was amply covered by the bond
in said company in the sum Of $50
600. The deposits, IT was stated did
not amount to more than $4,000, and
Schmidt notified the mayor that his
company stood ready to pay over the
amount of the claim as soon as pos
sible after the legal formaIities had
been complied with. Certain instru-
ments will have to be drawn. testi-
flying to the proof Of the city's deposits.
and certain certificates of deposits will
also be called for. All this can be
arranged satisfactorily, and within
another two weeks the city will prob
ably receive. through the local repre-
sentatives of the bonding company
which is the firm OF Fisher Brown
Insurance Agency. a check covering
the entire amount to the city's credit
in said bank. The company. Of course
will get it's money from the bank when

torily adjusted, which is hoped to be
only a matter of a short time

hut recommended to the bonding COM
pany's representative that he follow

were signing the time certificates of
deposit. and Mr. Schmidt readily

mendation.

DEATH OF ANOTHER, DIS
CHARGED.

After looking into the causes of
death of Bertha Owens, the colored
woman who died under rather mys-
ferrous circumstances on Thursday
night, a Coroners jury yesterday de-
cided that the unfortunate had in a
way contributed to her own death by
use of drugs. and Ella Race, the white
woman who was placed in the county
jail for investigation, was discharged
from custody, after spending a day
and night behind the bars. 1t was
shown the coroner that the dead wo-
man had been habitual in the use of
drugs, and that lately she had be-
thought herself to make a change in
the dope she was said to have used,
and this is what the coroner agreed
had been the cause Of her death
