Tuesday night The announce-
ment that Great Britain had de-
cited to throw down the gaunt-
let before the invaders of France

Killing at ' Sulphur
News of the killing of Hamp
Ramsey at Suiph ur Tuesday night
about midnight spread rapidly
over thecounty The report Is
that Clyde Short and Slim Glenn
were fighting and Mr Ramsey
was shot in the stomach while
attempting to separate the two
men Whether the shooting was
accidental or not was not learned
We understand that Short and
Glenn and two or three other
parties were arrested in connec-
tion with the matter The de-
ceased was a farmer living one
mile north of Sulphur and was
about 50 years of age He
leaves a family
In the Texas primaries re-
cently James E Ferguson de-
feated Thos H Ball commonly
called the prohibition candidate
This does not mean that the peo-
ple of Texas are opposed to pro-
hibition butmeans they are tired
of having the liquor question
mixed up with every election
there The Bailey question used
to be the bone of contention but
of late years the prohi question
has pressed forward
The' county commissioners
surely must feel gratified at the
manner in which their adminis
tration was endorsed by the vo-
ters at Tuesday’s election The
decisive vote was a complete en-
dorsement Each of the three
commissioners Messrs Draugh-
on Gafford and Rice was re-
elected by a substantial majority
and they have a right to be
proud of the stamp of approval
given them
