COUNTRY CLUB
IS PAYING OFF
INDEBTEDNESS

That the Douglas Country club is
a going concern that it is able to
meet its obligations promptly and
with it's finances in good condition is
evidenced by the fact that it is re-
tiring its bonded Indebtedness as it
natures During the last week there
has been the sum of 1915 in bonds
with accrued interest on it's entire
bond issue paid and $375 called re-
tired. This is in keeping with the
policy inaugurated some three years
ago when the Management of the
club determined upon fiscal policy
that would make it sound and go
ing concern
The policy of the club now is to set
aside the sum of $40 monthly as a
sinking fund from which cash to re-
tire the bond issue and meet the in
terest of the paying dates may be
had. That is working out even better
than had been expected. There are
two drawings each year, one at the
first and one at the middle of the
year and those whose series are CALI
ed present the bonds. and get their
cash. The monthly payments are not
made to the treasurer but to E. w.
Graves, vice president of the First
National bank, as fiscal agent for the
club to handle the bond business. He
draws the bonds to retire and hands
out the cash. j. L. Hastings is the
president of the club and one who
has been a leader in getting the club
on its present financial foundation.
There are now about $50 members
in the Country club which was or
ganized just about 20 years ago, in
1907. In that respect, the city of
Douglas has rather exceptional
record for there are few cities the
size that has as fine country club
with the grounds and golf course
as has Douglas.
incidentally. according to President
Hastings, there will be work started
at once to change the golf links as
there will shortly be two new build
ings erected that make necessary the
complete change of the course at the
ninth green. These houses will be
started quite soon and the plans have
already been made for the change in
the course. There are some other
changes also in contemplation.

DEMOCRAT MEET
In CAPITAL IS
ILLUMINA TIN G

WASHINGTON, JAN 10 CR-The
first nationwide interchange OF DEM
ocratic opinions since 1924 gathered
headway today with the arrival OF
many members of the national COM.
mittee for the Jackson day dinner
Thursday night and sessions OF the
committee later in the week.
Committeeman streamed through
party headquarters all day. each to
participate in brief conference with.
Clem L. Shaver national chairman.
These visits were followed by small
group conferences, behind closed doors
in hotel rooms at which views on the
party outlook we're exchanged.
The predominant topic OF interest
was apparently the availabillCy of
Governor Smith of New York as the
party nominee, and several commit
tee members committed themselves
to his candidacy without qualification,
while no absolute opposition was ex-
pressed This was attributed by some
to the fact that southern committee
men were slow in arriving, and also
to a precaution against antagonizing
Smith hackers so that a favcrite
promise candidate.
A preliminary canvass of early ar
rivals indicated that Smith sentiment
predominates in. New York, Illinois,
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Wash
ington, California and Minnesota, al
though representatives from a num-
ber of other states were not on hand
to report sentiment there. The In
diana choice will be Evans Woollen
former candidate for the United
States senate, said Charles A. Great
house, who arrived with fifteen Wool
len supporters.
Ohio favors former Senator Atlee
Pomerene, said W. A. Julian, COM
mitteeman from that state, who add
ed that further Mr. Pomerene will
| be nominated and can be elected"
Second only to the Smith discus
sion was the choice of a convention
city, with the majority of delegates
tefraining from giving their views
until sounding out their fellows. A
selection will be made Friday or Sat-.
friday.
st. Louis is not seeking the con-
vention said Mrs. Emily Newell Blair,
of Missouri vice chairman OF the
nnittee.
| George E, Brennan, Illinois mem
ber, was more emphatic in advocating
Chicago, but some members are OBJ
iecting because of the sumner heat
| there. Brennan said it was pro-
| posed to throw a canvas tent over
! the mammoth Soldiers Field for the
convention. Mrs. d. A. McDugab Ok
| lahoma member, was among those
who favor Miami which is expected
to make a determined bid for meet
ing along with Cleveland, Detroit and
/ San Francisco.
A move was initiated to name
James M. Cox and John w. DAVIS,
the last two democratic nominees,
| as temporary and permanent chair
men of the convention. Those here
apparently expect this program to go
through.
Representative w. A. Ayres OF Kan
sas was added to the. list OF nomlna-
ton candidates today by Mrs ~ r.
/ Parker, a member Of the natlona'
democratic congressional campaign
committee for Kansas.
/ San Francisco as a convention city
was urged by Isadore B. DockWeller'
Ia member of the national COMMITTEES:
He told Chairman Shaver that plo
/ of 100000 would be offered TO at
tract the convention.

Protests Change
In Highway Name

To The Herald:
Permit me through the columns of
your paper to make a protest against
the action Of the commissioners
court in changing the name of the
old Military Telegraph road to the
Border Highway"
The first thing that comes TO my
mind is what a lawyer would ask:
What jurisdiction has the commits
sioners court TO change the name?
But granting that it has such a
jurisdiction, what reason has the
commissioners court to change the
name that has been given from time
immemorial TO this old landmark,
especially when il has been referred
to in deeds and contracts Of record
in this county as part Of the de-
scription of the lands involved.
Does the commissioners court pro-
pose TO expunge from the deed rec
ords Of our county every deed and
contract wherein the Military Tele-
graph road figures as either a boun-
Diary line or a "call" in the field
notes? During my practice, since
coming into Cameron county in 1904,
| believe I have written not less
than one hundred deeds, and other
contracts affecting lands, wherein
the Military Telegraph road figures
as an important land mark or divi-
sion line.
If / understand this action of the
commissioners court it is due to a
misguided sentimentalism about
peace; but I am one of those who
believe that we have come into this
world for the purpose of training
ourselves TO fight, and fight against
the powers of evil, and there can not
be peace so long as evil and sin
prevail in our world. The trouble
with these acknowledgements
ers is that they are ignorant of the
fact that the greatest advocates for
peace. for real peace, are the ones
who have warned us that in this life
we can expect nothing but war. Let
ne quote the language Of some Of
these great heroes Of peace:
This is what the Prince of Peace
that / am com to give peace or
earth? ! tell you. nay; but rather
division; for from henceforth there
shall be five in one house divided.
three against two, and two against
three" Luke 12:51-52.
And this has been true ever since
those wonderful words were uttered.
to the present time and will remain
true until He comes again in glory
to establish His kingdom.
Hear what st. Paul has to say on
this subject: "For we wrestle not
against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against
the rulers Of the darkness Of this
world, against spiritual wickedness in
high places" Eph. 6:12.
There is hardly a Sunday when
we meet in church that We do not
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1928-02-05

sing the words Of that wonderful
hymn: Onward Christian Soldiers,
marching as to war" Shall we,
under the influence of these mis-
guided peace makers, change these
wonderful words to re=d Onward
Christian people, marching on to
peace?"
Let US not be influenced by fool
ish sentimentalism, but let us com
70 the realities Of life. Life is a
constant struggle from the time we
are born until we die. Even the
very cells Of our body and the organs
of our body are in constant warfare
against the germs OF disease and OF
death.
Again, there is not a spot on this
old globe Of ours, that Is worth
having, which has not been the scene
OF tragedy and war. Why is Greece,
Rome, France and England so in
teresting? Because of the thou
sands Of lives that have been sacri-
feed on their battlefields. To me,
one Of the most interesting and at
tractive things of the Rio arande
Valley is the fact that it w& the
scene Of a great tragedy between
wv SitAN Htbpit anu lAdL Ht- on
this Rio Grande Valley we Dave
spots consecrated by their heroic
blood, and as a descending Of that
people, who were defeated in that
memorable struggle, / want to pro-
test against this uncalled for and I'M
necessary action Of our commits
sioners court in changing the name
Of a land mark that will ever be a
reminder Of that heroic conflict.
If it is right TO change the name
Of the Military Telegraph road to the
Border Highway why doesn't the
commissioners court change the name
Of Brownsville, which was named for
Major Jacob Brown who died in that
war, TO "Peaceville," or some other
such a name?
For the above reasons, I repeat,
and as a descendant of the people
who in that great struggle fought a
losing fight, ! move that the action
Of the commissioners court in chagg-
ing the name Of the old Military
Telegraph road TO Border Highway"
he expunged from the records. |

motion.
