 Dies After Illness

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. 17.-General Luke E. Wright, former secretary of war and former governor-general of the Philippines, died at his home here tonight after an illness of sev- eral months.
 General Wright, who was promin- ent in the political and public life of Memphis for more than a half century, suffered fall several months ago and since has been in failing health.

GIVEN REFUGE BY BRITISH IN
 OUTBOUND SHIP
 AF TER FLIGHT I.
Bulk of Guard Goes Over to Nationalists; Virtually at
 Mercy of Kemalists
MEDICATION IS DENIED
Caliph Is Accompanied by TO- Year-Old Son; Crown Prince
 Remains in Palace

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 17-Mo- hammed VI, the Turkish sultan. has fled from Constantinople on a British warship bound for Malta. The sultan wrote to Lieutenant General Haring- ton. the British commander in chief. on Wednesday evening stating he con sidered his life to be in danger and would like British protection
 The sultan has been greatly exer- cised over his status since the action of the Turkish nationalist assembly at Angora early this month voting to deprive him of his civil authority and declaring the Caliph or religious head of Islam would hereafter be selected from the imperial house by vote of the grand national assembly.
 Fear Control Loss
 In the face Of the filtration of ma tionalist military elements into Con- stantinople, and the knowledge that the Angora authorities would event ually be in full control in the Turkish capitol, the sultan and his advisers have been frankly at sea as to the pro per course for him to pursue. The bulk of his guard went over to the nationalists and Constantinople dis patches have. pictured him virtually at the mercy of the Kemalists should they decide to make a descent in force on his palace. There have been rum- ors that he had abdicated or was about to do so but there has been no official confirmation of any such act ion. There were strong intimations. however, that he would ask the allies for protection if needed
 Political motives may be read in some quarters into the flight Of the sultan. on a British warship. Great Britain concededly has strong motives for seeing that no harm comes to the Caliph, in view of the many millions of Mussulman subjects within her do- main. many of whom have given indi- cations of disagreement with the ac- tion of the Turkish nationalists. dis putting the power of the Turks alone to take action affecting all Islam. The question of the sultan's status too. is likely to come up at the Lausanne con ference about to open. and it now ap- pears probable that when this Ques- tion is being debated tho Caliph him. self will be under British protection refuge at Great Britain's naval base in the Mediterranean.
 LONDON. Nov. IA Reuter- dis patch confirming the flight of the sul- tan says that Mohammed VI was ac- companied by his 10 year old son. Prince ErthrOgroul. and was dressed in civilian attire and feZ. The crown prince and all the sultan's wives re mained behind.
 The sultan's automobile was follow ed by another containing ritish or- licers who were also dressed in multi. The flight was effected in heavy rain and only squads of British sol diers and a few scattering Turkish fishermen were at the dock when the party arrived.
 The Sultan's voice broke with emo ton as he thanked General Harrington. commander of the British troops in Constantinople, for protection and

McWhorter is still one of our lead
ing citizens, time has wrought It's
changes, he is the father Of two
grown sons, and the little building
we speak of, is still standing.
A few years later, the town OF
Lubbock was started, and the struc-
ture was moved to the new" town
to the site where IL now stands
Mr.. p. +. Brown, the present coun-
~ Judge of Lubbock County came
TO the Plains about that time, seek
ing adventure in the wild and wool'
country. He was persuaded 10
purchase n half interest in a mer-
camille establishment located in the
little building in its present loca-
ton and continued TO run the little
business for several years Judge
Brown delights in telling of his first
step as business man and the ups
and downs that confronted the early
settlers in those days.
We could 60 on and on enumer-
ating incidents Of historical inter
est in connection with this old land
mark, but wouldn't it be a good idea
10 preserve Il for postority. Don't
you think il would be of historical
value to us, and stand as monu-
ment 10 the old timers, who went
thru the trials and hardships Of the
early days, those who persevered
and went ahead, so that future gen
erations could follow?
Some Of these days that memcn-
TO Of long ago will be torn down to
be replaced with modern brick, or
perchance, II viii burn down and
then il will be too late. Wouldn't
it be a good idea to purchase II now
and we feel sure the present own
er, Judge Geo. L. Beatty, would
sanction this move, and place II on
CONSPICUOUS spot, the City Hall Yard,
The Court House Lawn or the South
Plains Fair Park, where ii would
gain the attention and be appre-
ciated by all 1t could be made a
real alamo" to Lubbock County
AS stated above, it could indeed, be
made a museum Of historical inter
est, pictures Of the old timers could
be hung therein, scenes Of early
DAYS. the brands Of the ranches Of
long ago could be burned into the
walls and many suggestions could
be carried out TO make il place
of interest.
Let US not put this important mat
ter off too long. A public sub
scription could easily be raised 70
carry out our plan-we suggest that
some Of the Women's Clubs get IN
behind the proposition and make O.
a reality.

Work and Worship

During recent Sunday. on the
invitation Of the Greater Boston
Federation Of Churches, the pulpits
Of 25 churches in and around the
Hub were occupied by as many la
Dor leaders assigned BY the Central
Labor Union. II is now suggested
that the ministers Of these church
es shall each on a certain day take
the jobs Of the workers.
This is an interesting variation
on the idea Of exchange professor
ships" designed TO promote better
understanding. and consequently
friendlier relationships, between var
ious countries Much Of the trou-
ole Of our time may be traced TO an
Illogical separation between labor
and prayer; between practice and
preaching Let US have more Of
the spirit Of worship in our work
and more constant translation Of
work into worship. In that way we
shall be really doing something to-
ward the worlds redemption--the
betterment Of all humanity. Dear
born Independent.

RABBIT HUNTERS DISCOVER
STILL IN OKLAHOMA

Near Grandfield, Oklahoma, one
day last week, while a rabbit drive
was on, the hunters ran into a
complete and most modern whisky
making plant ever found in that
country. The hunters reported the
find TO the sheriff who went out
the next day and brought il 70 town.
II was hidden in the brush and be-
sides being a double run system,
had a gasoline engine for pumping
water into large water storage
reservoir built on a scaffold.
The system consisted Of two stills,
one Of $50 gallon capacity and the
other one so gallons. The latter
being used for a double run 20 re-
fine and finish the product. This
being a modern plant II created no
little attraction, and II is supposed
70 be the work Of old timers, pos
sible learned the business in the
mountains Of Tennessee or Ken
lucky. The still was stored in the
police station and some one with
nerve, stole the still the next night
and is now possibly making moon
shine again at the old stand.

Some Interesting History Of Lubbock
County Happenings in the Early Days
On the Plains Before Lubbock Existed

the corner of Avenue II and 18th
Street. II is very deceiving in
looks and its age would be easily
under guessed, and yet II has whit
cred thru the storms of nigh on
: TO 35 years" Climatic changes are
the only ones in evidence, and with
one or two exceptions II is as in
tact as when first built, and the
fact that il has been painted red"
at some time, is still noticeable.
Long before Lubbock had reach
ed the stage Of existence, It was To-
Gated some five or six miles north
west of the present townslte of
Lubbock on the draw, and was COM
monty known by the cowboys and
line riders as Singers Store" that
being the name of the man who
first established the store, a Mr.
G.. W. Singer, one of the first set
tiers on the Plains. Il was a store
and Post Office where the ranch
men came to replenish their sup
plies between their long trips 70 the
railroad and where the cowboys
passing thru with big strings Of
steers and from surrounding ranches
would 20 to receive their mail from
the folks back home. The old timers
tell as it has quite history and
has served various and sundry pur-
poses and some of them hint that
at one time, il was the home of
Green River "Old Ripy" and
other brands Of long ago, but for
this we do not vouch.
Mr.. b. o. McWhorter, who is still
a resident of Lubbock tells US in
1898, during the month Of Decem-
Der, he was at the little store and
it happened to be his wedding day
and il was very necessary that he
get a shave and stopping by the
little store standing out on the bleak
prairie, miles from the nearest
ranch house, he fell in with bunch
of boys from the ''long 81 and other
ranches. They noticed he needed
to be cleaned up just a little, and
knowing that the occasion was near
at hand, he consented and one Of
the boys, who he states was a splen-
did "Tonsorial Artist" shaved him
while he sat on the counter in the
little Post Office and store. Mr..

WHAT OTHERS SAY AND
HOW THEY SAY 1T


Cleburne Enterprise: The Presi-
dent is said to have made the state
ment he will veto the bonus bill for
soldiers II II comes to him in its
present form. II passed the house
by a large majority, but has yet TO
run the gauntlet of the senate fire.
| The objection to II comes from the
banks as they claim the burden Of
the provisions Of the bill fall upon
these institutions. The President
wants sales tax TO raise the mon
ey direct from the pockets of those
who buy. The Enterprise believes
the soldiers should have bonus,
and the money should be cheerfully
provided by the people Of the ma
ton they fought for, and whose
battles they won in a blaze of glory.
One Of the greatest troubles Of
congress (both branches) is the
tendency to act for political reasons
rather than for the good Of The ma
lion.
Thrift makes a higher standard
Of citizenship. For children 10 IS
a character builder that ma kes for
better morals and higher ideals
Europe teaches her children thrift

erica, where more happy conditions
obtain, there Is tendency toward
extravaganza that must be- over

tendency may be found even among
kindergarten children with their ex-
cessive lollypop allowances, and it
il growing more and more con
spicuous among so-callsd 'fappers'
Of high schools with their luxurious
frocks and silk hose. MR.. Mary
+. LaRocca, head Of the Noodman
