THURSDAY, JAN. 14, 1915.
The Attorney General of
Texas has brought suit against
the six big breweries of Texas
for heavy tines and for a fweit
ureof their charters claiming
that for the past twelve years
they have been using their cor-
porate funds for the purpose of
influencing elections and tepisla
tion, both state and national.
Lust Saturday was another
busy day for H-ollis merefcaiits.
•crowds began to gather -early
and stayed all day. By noon
the stores were cvowded «.r d it
was almost impossible to travel
•either on the street or sidewalk.
The driver of the mail wagon
found it necessary to go down
the street by the court house to
get to the post office. Cotton is
still coming in almost as rapidly
as at the beginning of the season.
TO CUT OFF BOOZE SUPPLY
Representative J. <0. Mc. Co lis-
ter of Greer county and Senator
Cordell of Tillman -county have
introduced a bill >in the Okla
Jioma legislature that has for its
object the material reduction of
the shipment of intoxicating ii
qoor. The bill provides that not
more than one gallon of liquor
may be delivered by ata express
or railroad company to any one
in any month. Every person be-
fore he receives any such ship-
ment must make an affidavit that
it ma intended for his own use or
for the use of his family aud that
neither he ic>or any member of
iiis family have received such
shipment during the last thirty
days.
Such a law would be hard on
certain wholesale houses in
Wichita Falls but it would un-
doubtedly be a benefit to many
people. Four fullquartsof liquor
is enough for any family to con-
sume in thirty days as we know
from evperienco. The Post Her
for all parties concerned. It
wil| give Mr. Roosevelt an out-
let for his vitrolic expressions
and will act as a safety valve
for his superabundance of wind.
On the other hand it will give
the socialist party a valuable
addition of brains , something
on which it has always been
short. But Debbs and the other
leaders will do wel to
look to their laurels since Teddy
will probably be at the 1 ead of
the prcession in the next cam-
paign.
Wheat is soaring. It is sell-
ing for a higher price in the
markets than for years. The
prediction is freely made that
it will be worth $2.00 a bushel
in a short time and that the
wheat farmers will get at least
$1.50 for his next crop. As
is always the case, the price of
corn and ohter grain is follow-
ing after wheat. One dollar
for corn and a corresponding
ly high price for milo, kafir and
feterita is not at all unprofitable
The farmer who has a supply
of feed and grain on hand need
not fear the cry of hard times.
With cotton at six cents and
little prospect for an increase
and with wheat, corn and other
grain at its present price and
going JiJgher tevwry day, ft
ought not to be difficult for
Harmon county farmers to de-
cide upon what crops they will
plant far this year.
The socialists have been hav
ing a regular jollification at Ok-
lahoma City during the past
month. They are rejoicing over
the election of five representa
tive8 and one senator to the
Fifth legislature. Their leaders
have beea planning the program
and outlining their work and ev
e -y effort will be made to give
the widest publicity possible to
the acts of their members in the
legislature. A big banquet has
t>een arranged of which the dai
ly papers give the following:
"In order to correct possible
misaprAiensions, say lor us that
the tickets sold by us to tbe col
ored folk for our banquet Satur
day night are perfectly good,
and that the colored people will
be admitted and permitted to
take part in the banquet and the
program," was the statement
made Friday night by George
Ferguson, a prominent socialist
of the city, speaking of the ban
quet which the local socialists
are planning to give Saturday
night.
The eutertainment will take
place at Westfall's hall at 8
aid family are all reasonably
healthy and they have not used
that much in thirty years,
Theodore Roosevelt when he
retired from the Presidency
accepted a position as asso-
ciate editor of the Outlook one
of the most conservative pa-
pers in our eountry. He con-
tinued to hold this posi-
tion until recently. It is suppes-
ed that Dr. Abbott and his
paper proved too tame an affair
for him., At least he resigned
the place. He has now accept-
ed a place as special contributer
to the Metropolitan, the leading
socialist magazine in the
United States.
This is a happy arrangement
o'clock in honor of the five rep
resentatives and one senator
that represent the socialists in
the Fifth legislature. In addi
tion to the banquet a music pro
gram has been arranged, and
each of the guests of honor will
speak on some phase cf the leg
islature's work.

The young folks of the Tea
cross school and community
met Friday night and organized
a litera ry society. A nice pro
gram was given although no
preparation for the same had
been made except for the debate.
The following officers were elect
ed:
H. B. Parrott President
Dave Wood Vice President
Virgie Duckworth Secretary
Walker Arant Sergeart at Arms
G. B. Short Editor
Lee Barry As sociate Editor
Recitations by Jettie, Short
Crystal McCarty, Mae Parrott,
Annie Dial and Tiny Short were
very entertaining. The Grapho
phone was cranked by the school
director.
The subject for debate, "Re
solved that women should be al
lowed to vote," resulted in a vie
tory for the affirmative.
A farewell address from Floyd
Dotson was last, but not least,
on the program after which it
adjourned to meet again Friday
night January 22, Everybody
come.
Mr. Jim Dotson. who sold his
place some time ago, left this
week en route to Farwell, Texas,
where he will make his home in
the future. Mr. Dotson settled
here over 15 years ago and has
borne his part in developing the
eountry. His successor, Mr.
Sanaera, we hope will make >he
loss good. Men of Mr. Dotsons
class, when lost, are hard to re
place.
The party at Mr. Dotson's Sat
urday night was well attended.
This being a farewell affair was
appreciated by the young folks,
especially the friends and chums
of Mr. Dotson's children.
Elder J. R. McCarty tilled his
regular appointment at Teacross
Sunday.
Misses Tressie and Winnie
