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."

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

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.
On Saturday Tom Oeaton opened
a store in Kershaw and u rushing
business was done before the place
closed, at 5:30 p. in. He was advised
by the town authorities to close at
5:30 p. m.
Although much liquor was sold at
Kershaw on Saturday Chief of I'plloe
Mothcrshed said that there was no
drunkenness and that it was one of
the quietest Saturdays in weeks. On
the other hand an unusually largo
number of arrests were made at Chester,
according to reports. Liquor has
been sold there for several days.
The store at Kershaw is on South
Main street and in the Kershaw side
of that town.?Lancaster News.
Mrs. Annabelle Godar is under arrest
at Hagerstown, Md., charged with
the killing of her fyusband, which Bhe
admits. She claims that she fired
whep he attempted to attack her after
many months of abuse. He was
drunk at the time, she says, and
threatened to "break every bone in
your body, and tear all your skin off." |
