To Seek a Third Term.

Gov. Ferguson late last night an
swered the charges of felony placed
against him by the indictments by an
nouncing himself as candidate for
Governor of Texas for third term.
THE issue is made" declared Gov.
Ferguson Shall the university run
the state or shall the state run the uni
versity? l accept the challenge. l well
come the contest and / here now an
nounce myself for third term as Gov
ernor of Texas. Let US go to the peo-
Pile and have this question settled at
once and for all time to come"
Gov. Ferguson attributed the indict-
ments against him to contemplate
politics" The basis of the indictments.
he declared, grew out Of a deposit of
100000 insurance money collected in
1913. when the Canyon City tTexas)
State Normal School was burned; that
the money was deposited by his prede-
cessor at a low rate of interest and
that when he became governor he with
drew the money and placed it in other
banks. and that the money was paid
out promptly subject to builders esti-
mates for the rebuilding of the Canyon
City Normal Because he did NOT de-
post the money in the treasury, he said.

Impeachment Effort in March.

A previous attempt was made to inn
peach Gov. Ferguson in March. when a
special house committee investigated
mansion expenditures and the affairs of
the Temple State Bank, Of which the
governor formerly was president.
The indictment charging embezzle-
ment contains only mention of the sum
involved and the Identifying date The
amount Is $500.
The charge of diverting a special
fund refers to the fund provided by the
legislature for the purchase of supplies
for the executive mansion. 1t is charged
that the governor applied this fund to
the purchase of various goods, wares
and merchandise not authorized by
law"
OF the seven charges of misapplica-
ton of funds, one refers to the sum of
$101,3 collected by Gov. o. B. Colquitt.
Ferguson's predecessor. as insurance
on the building of the West Texas Nor
NAL School at Canyon City. The gov
ernor is alleged to have received this
sum from Colquitt and to have placed
it in the Temple State Bank.
The other sums. totaling S42,s61, and
the alleged dates Of misapplication are
presented without further data.
Immediately after Gov. Ferguson had
been served by the sheriff in his office
he gave bond in the sum of $1,000 in
one case and $1,000 in each of the
others

MIR. J. E. MILLER DIES
 OF BLOOD POISON
Was Caused by Accidentally Cutting His Thumb on a Rusty Hoe. Was
 Highly Esteemed Citizen.

Woodruff county again gave ID one of her best citizens last Saturday, Sept, p, 1917, when MT. Joseph Lafayette Miller died at his home near McCrory, at 4:30 o'clock p. m., after a brief illness of only a few days.
 The deceased was engaged in farming southeast of town and his death was caused by cutting his hand on a hoe. Before the wound had healed he helped to sew up wound on horse and as a result blood poison set up in the wound on his hand.
 Uncle Joe', as he was fa- miliarly known, was born in Lamar County, Alabama, May 21, 1853, the son of MT. and Mrs, John Miller. He was mar ried August 12, 1879, near Col umbus, Miss, to Miss Sarah E. Smith. He moved his family to McCrory, Ark, Jan. 3, 1892, from Choctaw county, Mississ- ippi, and has made his home within three miles of this city since that time, always com handing the respect of all who knew him.
 The deceased leaves a host of friends to mourn his loss, a wife, a daughter, Mrs. Lon Cariker, of McCrory: three sons, Edgar and Sam of McCrory, and Day ton of Little Rock, three broth CTS and two sisters in Alabama, brother and sister in Miss lssippi and a brother in Oklaho- ma.
 He became a member of the Church of Christ in 1887 at Ac- herman, Miss, and ever remain ed good. conscientious chris tan. The remains were laid to rest in the Fakes Cemetery Sun day afternoon.

EFFORT TO ERADICATE RAT
Report on the Work of Extcrmi-
mating National Plague.

The connection between rats and
plague has led to the accumulation of
information regarding the frequency Of
their association with human hat ia
tions as well as their destructivenlss
Studies have been made which throw
light on the question Of the number
OF parasites which have been permit
ted through carelessness to exist in the
immediate neighborhood of man. Until
these comparatively recent investlga-
tions scarcely anyone would have be-
lieved how large number of rodents
find means Of livelihood for them
selves in our cities and towns, espe-
cialy those which have series of
docks and wharves. A special report
Of plague eradication work at New
Orleans, made by the surgeon in charge
Of the United States public health serv-
ice work at that point, contains rath-
er startling Illuminating facts concern
ing these parasites, says the journal
of the American Medical Association.
"The total number of rodents cap
tured up to November 13 of the last
year runs up to 4979c3," says the
writer. Some idea of the immense Ia
bor and the meticulous care required
for thoroughness in sanitary work may
be gathnred from the fact that over
these rodents had been -ex-
amin i up to the asr-date, and,
though altogether only 265 cases of ro-
dent plague were discovered, it is easy
to understand how much of a danger
for the dissemination of the disease
these animals were. Until the actual
report, 1t would have been almost i'm
possible to believe that city like New
with its 100000 rodents, &C
tually harbored larger population of
rats and mice than 1t did of human
beings.
"New Orleans Is probably no worse
In this regard than most Of the coast
cities of the southern part Of the coun-
try, at least, and 1t is probable that as
careful hunt for the creatures would
reveal their presence in proportienate
numbers even in many Of the towns of
the interior.
"Coast cities like New Orleans, San
Seattle and some of the 9TH
er towns on Puget sound have been
compelled to take up the problem of
obliteration Of their rodent parasites
by the occurrence Of plague. The Jour-
nal of the American Medical associ-
alton thinks, however, that it would
be we'll worth while for health author
tiles In Ter towns and cities to face
this problem frankly before 1t becomes
a source of actual immediate danger to
health
