Evangelist Dixon Gives Death Claims
Amusement Sermon A. G
Friday Night At
Baptist Revival
The revival meeting at the First
Baptist Church, Aspermont, Texas,
is now in its second week, with ser-
vices twice daily, at ten A. M., and
eight P. M., with Evangelist Wm.
Dixon, -of Dallas, doing both the
preaching and the singing. The rain
has interferred with several nights of
the meeting, but with better weather
now, there is promise of better days
for the remainder of the meeting.
Services are being held out of doors
at the side of the church building,
where the street is closed up at the
order of the Mayor, for use of the
meeting. A large chorus choir under
the leadership of Mr. Dixon is fur-
nishing music in the song services
each night, proceeding the sermon.
Mr. Dixon's solos are worth going
miles to hear. His sermons are
Scriptural, sound and stirring. 1 If
is giving his best out of his more
•than eighteen years in twenty five
Suites in revival meetings. All art-
urged to hear him in sermon an I
song. This Friday night he will give
his famous sermon on "The Christian
and Amusements" at the request of a
number of the folks, at which time
he will raise three questions,! arid en-
deavor to answer them, namely, is
card playing wrong? Is dancing
sinful? Is theatre going harmful'.'
He will also expose the secret lan-
guage of the deck of cards, telling
why the diamonds are red, why tiie
clubs and spades are black, and why
there are ten spots instead of twelve.
He reports that this message is lull
of facts, fun and frolic, that he will
take the hide off the amusement
question, hang it, on the fence, shoot
it full of holes, and you can use ii.
for chair bottoms, lie also stales
that it will be a thriller, and that it
has packed the house to running over,
with standing room at a premium in
other places where it has been given.
He advises the folks to come early to
get a seat. The hour is eight P. M.
All of the card clubs are invited to
attend and sit in a body. There will
be no service Saturday morning, but
his subject Saturday night will be
"Seven reasons why 1 don't want to
go to hell." Sunday morning, the
day will begin with, an enlarged Sim
day School meeting at ten A. Ai.,
followed by his sermon at eleven
o'clock, "Children of the Kim ," and
One of iiarnlln'i

useful life, about six o'clock, Friday

up very nicely with the home econu-
mics course given for the girls.
So far as we know at present the
course will be open to all high school
boys. As the work is new there are
probably some questions in the mind
of the boys as to just what vocational
agriculture is. All boys who think
they are interested in this work for
the next school term please meet
the school building Saturday evening
July 0th at three o'clock. 1 will be
glad to answer any questions and will
explain the vocational agricultur
work. Be sure to tell all boys that
you see who don't have a chance to
rezul the paper.

Anyway.
On June 27 1 addressed to the Hon
James V. Allred, attorney general of
Texas, a registered letter inviting
him to meet me in joint debate upon
the issue between us, which is that
his official record, upon which he
stands for re-election, renders him
underserving of a second term.
In issuing my invitation to Attor-
ney General Allred for a discussion
between us. I am actuated by a spir
it of fair play to him and by full con-
sideration for the citizenry of Texas.
I do not wish to be guilty, either by
intent or inadvertence, of misstate-
ments or exaggeration concerning
Mr. Allred's record, which ha.s been
joined by us a.s thc principal issue in
this campaign for the Democratic
nomination for Attorney General of
Texas.
I have made serious charges a-
gainst Mr. Allred's record in office,
and these charges must be answered
and defended, "which he has not done
to date, or admitted and affirmed by
his attitude of silence.
I have charged him with self-ac-
knowledged recommendation :uid in-
dorsement of his former law partner,
Bernard Martin, for employment by
the Quaker Stale Oil Company of
Pennsylvania as .special counsel aid-
ing the State in the Attorney gener-
il s ouster .-mil against fifteen major
oil companies of Texas.
At, the same, time that Martin un-
der paid retainer by the Quaker
State Oil Company of Pennsylvania,
which is a foreign competitor of
ex as companies, he is by Mr. All-
red's influence sjK>cial counsel for the
State of Texas in Allred's oil compa-
ny prosecutions and in line, to share
a possible $S!)o,500 fee from the Slate
with four other special counsel des-
ignated by Mr. Allred as his assist-
ants in the oil litigation.
This litigation was first brought u>
public attention through the June is
sue of the Texas Tax Journal, which
is published in Austin and contains,
exchange of corre-.pondeiu'e between
John T. Smith, Editor of the. Journal
and Attorney General James V All
red. Moreover, the matter reached
the records of the. court when attor-
ney:- Lloyd Price and John Hancock,
representing two of the defendants
in the nil suit, filed a motion with
Judge J. D. Moore, to exclude Bern-
ard Martin from further representa-
tion as counsel for the state and
Quaker State Oil Company in the
proceedings of Allred's oil 'litigation.
I have charged Mr. Allred
recommending and aiding th
poinlmenl of James Moore of
,'IS reeoiver for the l"i t ir I
Company.
