Four hundred and ninety-nine swallowed the insult, but one large, giant-built warrior moved uneasily and Stepping from the lino, ho said: "Vi>n I'iin'i Ink me, Mike Hennessey."

Leo nard Wylie, negro president of the club, told the commonwealth attorney that the club had only fifteen mem bers but more than 400 negroes made the excursion trip which was for the benefit of the organization's library fund. Wylie was instructed by the at torney to attempt to learn the names of the negroes who looted the store in the hope that it would not be necessa ry to bring all of them to trial. The Greek could not identify any of the negroes when they were arrested. Central sehoolhouse, located about three miles from Williamston, was completely destroyed by fire Tuesday afternoon.

WOMAN KI KCTED GOVERNOR. \lr.v Miriam Ferguson \V?i Wife oi EX'(i0VerA0r Ferguson. Pallas, Texas, August 21.- M''3 Miriam Ferguson, (he first woman candidate for governor of Texas, and wife of James K. Ferguson, formei governor, was nominated at the Dem ocratic primary Saturday, over Feli< Kubei Uim, .of Dallas - ? Judge Robertson today telegraphed Mrs. Ferguson at her home at Tem ple*; "I sincerely congratulate you on your victory." Temple, Texas, August 24. ? Mrs. Miriam Amanda Ferguson, nomina ted for governor of Texas yesterday in the Democratic run off primary, is just a quiet, unassuming wife and mother who has never taken much in terest in social or political affair si, save when her husband was involved. Until it was ruled that her husband former Governor James pi, Ferguson, was ineligible for office in Texas be cause of his impeachment in 1917 and until the courts held this spring thi*i he could not get his name on the ticket as a candidate for governor, she has had. "no very great desire" to hold office. Today, however, she is the proud holder of the Democratic nomination for governor of Texas, which has always meant election in this state, and she says her heart is full of joy, not because the office will mean much to her personally, but be cause the expression of confidence of the people in the Fergusort family means everything to her children and her children's children. Also she is proud "for Jim's sake." Like many other women, Mrs. Fergu son objects to telling her ago. "There is not any use in putting that in," she smiled at her interviewer today. "Besides," she added, "you better not do it." "Why?" she was asked. ' "Oh, because? because T am the woman nominee for governor now." Mrs. Ferguson was born and reared in Hell county, about 10 miles from Temple. Her parents were Mr. and Mrs. Joe L. Wallace. Both are dead. Mr. Wallace was one of the earliest settlers of Hell county, coming to Texas from Tennesst^.'. Mrs. Ferguson attended a one-room rural school and later was a student at Baylor college, at Helton. She was* married in 1S9'J to James K. Fergu son, her boyhood sweetheart, whose father also was h pioneer settler of this section. They have two children, ? Mrs. Ouida Ferguson Nalle, of Aus tin. Texas, and Miss Dorrace Fergu-I son ?the latter her private secretary ' in her - campaign. "Don't forget to mention my grand- j i son," she cautioned. It was to vindi- j cati* her husband's name so that little Krnest Nalle, five years old, might ' not he embarrassed should he wish *o 1 run for public office when lie grows j up that she ran. Asked how she felt this morning ? when she woke up and realized that j she was the nominee. Mrs. Ferguson j countered : I "Wake up'. I did not even ko to! sleep. Of course I'm overjoyed but there is the realization of responsi bility and 1 shall pray to God for guidance just as I did throughout ; this campaign."
