Rleasc May Run Again In 1938 The following article Is a letter written to the Greenville Observer by Cole 1,. 1 (lease; Editor Observer: 1 notice the com-j l?liu?ejit which you paid me in your recent issue and you said that 1 tan for office like the huntsman, whether I got any game or not I loved the sport Thuuks. Hut evet^ though 1 did not win sometime, 1 believe that 1 was of real service to the slate and if aume of the things 1 fought so hard for had been enacted and others which 1 fought uguinst would have not, our people would have been much more prosperous uiid happy today. The legislature of 11135 hus come and gone. I urn satisfied that the people are delighted (?) with the $3.00 automobile license and that those who bought tugs the first of the year for six months ure glad to contribute the full amount of one dollar und a half for the remainder of the year and that" "old Hen Sawyer is gone" (?). 1 know that the people are delighted with being made dealers in whiskey under the most lnlquitlous system (high license) ever known to man. The rich men will get their license and charge outrageous prices for liquor, the average man will run the blind tiger; and the poor follow drink rot gut liquor. I understand this Is called prohibition by some prohibitionists. God suve the mark. Then 1 am glad to see the colleges, both students and professors taking such a wonderful stund against war. I wonder who Is going to threaten to lynch them or to put them in jail lor, life as some of them and some of their fathers threatened to do to me I when 1 fought war so hajrd and both in speeches and privately told the I people all that they would get out of it would be widow women, orphaned children, fresh made graves and debt. 1 notice also and am pleased that so many are now In favor of states rights who used to condemn me when I was fighting us a representative, as a senator and as governor lor states rights and begging the people not to submt to their rights being takeu away from them and to defeat for office those who were advocating the abolition of states rights. I wish some people would look up the reports of my speeches on states rights, war and prohibition when 1 was in the state senate and was lighting with all my might to defeat prohibition. I predicted as reported In the newspapers, "That the prohibitionists were going to be bitterly disappointed and deceived for they would not have prohibition but blind tigers and lawlessness." I predicted that the whiskey people who were favoring a repeal of the dispensary' law hoping that prohibition would be a failure and that tJiey would get back their old bar-room system would be disappointed. My prediction has come true and now see what we have. Neither the prohibitionists nor the bar-room advocates have what they wished for. In joining together to defeat the dispensary they both lost what they advocated and have worse. Watch. Neither under tfie bar-room, prohibition or dispensary system could whiskey be legally sold outside of incorporated towns and cities. The county dispensary system would have been much better with three men to control It, nominated by the people of each county in the primary to be appointed by the governor. I hope that the labor union people are all pleased with having caused the defeat of Judge John Parker, a southern gentleman and their friend for a man who was trained in the school of corporations and railroads, since the latter has cast the deciding vote In the recent railroad case. They said Parker gave a "yellow dog decision." I wonder what kind of a "dog decision" they now think Roberts gave them. I am receiving many letters and several persons have been to me personally asking me to become a candidate In 1936, but I am not and will not be in that campaign. 1938 is early enough for me to take another tour over my good old state to see my friends and renew acquaintances. I am constrained to think after so many t*f my prophecies In political matters have come true that truly "a prophet is not without honor save In his own country." I am glad to say that I am happy, healthy, feeling fine, having a splendid law business and I hope that all of our people are out of debt, that their automobiles are paid for, no mortgages on their homes and that they are as happy as thefr humble servant and I pray for their Improvement, success and happiness." Glad It's Over With St. Paul, Minn., June 3.?Glad, he Bald, to "get It off his chest," Volr.ey Davis, known to department of'justice agents as one of the slipperiest ind toughest members of the BarkerKarpic mob, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to kidnap Edward G. Bremer for $200,000 today. "It's no use trying to beat these G-guys," said Davis after pleading before Federal Judge M. M. Yoyce. John Davis Jamison, 19, is dead from a wound received from the pistol of the night watchman of the Ruby mills in South Gastonla, N. C. The watchman alleges that he shot Jamison after he was attacked by two men, a sack thrown ovsr his bead, in an attempt to rob him of $M in his pockets. yy - % -t- ? Texas Longhorns ! Being Protected; 1 One of the most highly prized herds lot cuttle in the world in Oial of the I Texas 1/oiiKhoriiH now in sanctuary in the Wichita Nutional Forest and tJunie Preserve in Oklahomu. Num! bering approximately 100 cows, steers, I bulla and calves, the herd has now reached the desired goul in numbers I and surplus cattle may now be disposed of fruin time to time to lovers I of the old-time breed and the things | it stands for. ' The I^onKhorna' trail la etched deep, in the history of the Houthwest. They j were first brought over here by the Spaniards ia If?J41 und, us the climate | and range conditions here were especlally suited to their growth ami de-; velopment, the cattle increased until in the days following the Civil War millions of them roved the wild pluins of Texas and the country all around 1 thereabout. From the Gulf of Mexico to Canada this hardy breed pushed the Indian and the liulTulo back until the whole country was thWrs. They | were the foundation industry of the I great new country, und Btory and song today record the romance of the cattle business that grew up because of their abundance. Hut tilings changed with the progress of civilization. The long horns of tlic cattle that often reached a spread of eight feet were hindrances and the long legs that carried tlieni over the trulls to market were not needed with the introduction of railroad cars, before lovers of the breed hardly realized what had happened, the short, stocky, shorthorn had supplanted the Longhorn in favor.and he threatened to go the way of the buffalo, tin* elk, and the antelope that had disappeared from the plains with the coming of settlements. After years of delay, Congress finally appropriated a small sum of money in 1927 to buy a foundation herd of these- LonghornB to put on the Game Preserve in the Wichita National Forest to preverit the breed j from becoming extinct as such. It I was only after months of search that 20 head were gathered together in South Texas and Northern Mexico in I that year and trailed into the forest to be taken care of by the forest supervisor, Harry H. French. He was very much interested in this herd and much credit is due him today for the herd that has been built. The cattle were placed in a pasture to themselves and left to live in very much the same condition that they did when grass waved three feet high over the fertile plains of Texas. They are never fed unless grass gets too short in the winter, and a high l^ong horn fence shuts them away from the world and prying eyes that would violate the privacy of their Hunctuury there. Long of leg, lean of thigh, a spreading expanse of horn, the old Longhorn today is one of the most interesting -species of animal life preserved by the government.?Sallio Morris Simpson in Our Dumb Animals. No Liquor Stores In Lancaster County Although liquor stores have been established in most of the nearby counties Lancaster county is without a store of this kind us yet, although it is known that two or three men ure interested in securing a license ami it is believed that a liquor store will open here within the week. 4f a store opens here liquor will be sold legally for the first time in twenty years.
