New Pure Food Law.
We respectfully remind our
merchants that on last Saturday
the new pure food law went into
effect, and they had better make
preparations to meet the inspect-
or, as they know not what day
he may land in Anson.
The most important clause in
this new law is that after this
time it is unlawful for any one to
sell, offer to sell or keep in his
possession with intention to sell
or convey on the streets any food
product whatsoever that has not
been protected from flies and
street dust. Grocerymen, fruit
dealers, butchers, fish venders
and even itenerant candy ped-
dlers will not be permitted to ex-
pose to view their products in
their places of business, or on
sidewalks, without first securely
protecting them by glass covers.
Mosquito net, wire screening,
etc., will not answer the require-
ments of the law, as such screens,
while protecting from flies, will
not protect from dust.—Anson
Enterprise.
of his supposed death and oon-
oluded that he had better report
that he was alive.
A oourt of law is the safest and
best place for a trial of all orimi-
nal cases. The evidenoe against
an individual of orime is some-
times, on its face, apparently
overwhelming. Yet time and
developement often show it to be
flimsy and often throw the bur-
den of suspicion from one indi-
vidual into certainty of the guilt
of another.—Ohillioothe Hernet.
To Confederate Soldiers.
Under the auspices of W. B.
Plemons Camp U. C. V. there
will be held at Amarillo, Texan,
on July 28, 29 and 30, 1909 a
general reunion of all the old
Confederate soldiers for the Pan-
handle country, that is, north of
the T. & P. railroad, whioh com-
prises the Fifth brigade.
The citizens of Amarillo are
making preparations to entertain
all the "wearers of the gray"
and their wives free of oharge.
All organized camps are re-
queued to send delegates, and to
invite any and all sjldiers to
oome. We request every old
soldier to write Capt. Will A.
Miller, chairman of this committee
We want you to know. We want
all the "old boys" to go into
camp together once more.
A Panhandle regiment will be
organized on the seoond day, of-
ficers elected for same, and other
business transacted, Come pre-
pared to take part.
The Sons and Daughters of
Confederate veterans are urged
to organize and have represent-
atives with us. The sons and
daughters all over the South are
nobly doing their part in perpet-
uating the true history of the
deeds of heroism and other valor
of their fathers in defending the
homes and firesides and of the
selfsacrifice, privations and he-
roism of the pure women of the
Southland.
Will A. Miller,
Jeff Kersey,
Dave Derden,
Committee.
The committee requests all pa-
pers in the territory covered by
this call to give publicity to this
notice, whioh kindrt««e will he
appreciated to the fullest.
A Poor Judge.
A mob is at all times a poor
judge of the degree of crime or
innocence. A mob is also a poor
judge of identity of a person
when that person denies that he
is guilty of the crime charged.
Some weeks ago, James Hines,
the 16 year old son of Mayor
Hines, of Abington, Va., disap-
peared. His disappearance
caused a sensation, and there
was suspioion of foul play. Rob-
ert Moore, a half witted negro,
confessed that he murdered
Hines. He declared that he cut
off the boy's head and secreted
the body. Search showed the
remains of a dog. The negro
was arrested and a mob made a
determined effort to take him
from the officers and lynch him.
Yesterday young Hines was
located in Ohio. He read stories
The Panhandle Banker's As-
sociation.
The following letter of invita-
tion has been received by The
Post:
Childres*, Texas, June 19, '09.
Editor Chidress Post,
Dear Sir:
The annual convention of the
Panhandle Banker's Association
will be held at Memphis, Texas.
Tuesday, the thirteenth day of
July, and invitations have been
sent to every banker and other
prominent financiers in this sec-
tion of the State and adjoining
territory.
At the Plainview meeting held
last January, it was decided to
discontinue the semi-annual
meetings and meet only once a
year, in the heated season, and
we hope to secure better attend-
ance from our visiting friends.
A strong program has been ar-
ranged, and our esteemed presi-
dent has promised us a unique
entertainment—suoh that will, I
am sure, be appreciated by all,
and especially by our visiting
friends, a feature of which will
be a dinner a la Cow Boy, with
cow ponies as a means of trans-
portation to and from the camp.
We want you to come and en-
joy our balmy breezes, imbibe
our pure ozone, and partake of
the splendid hospitality for whioh
the Panhandle people are noted.
Yours very truly,
J.H.P.Jones, Secretary.
53 Sundays.

years. This extra Sunday can
be utilized in attending church,

sporting gophers or some other
way.
One hundred and ten years
from this date you will probably
be paying the penalty for the
manner in which you choose to
spend this extra Sunday.—Anon-

So far has the Santa Fe advanoed
in its plan to gridiron West Tex-
as with railroads that the con-
tract has already been awarded
for the entire Coleman cut-off to
Lubbock and the Plainview ex-
tension. Only the line from
Lubbock to Texioo and from
Lubbock to Roswell has not been
contracted for.
The Santa Fe will locate a pur-
chasing agent at Plainview at
once to remain there during the
construction period.
These contracts have not been
awarded under the name of the
Santa Fe. Such names as "East-
ern Railway of NewMexioo" and
other titles have been employed,
This was necessary pending the
filing of the charter in Austin.
Grading outfits are already on
the way to Sweetwater and
Plainview and dirt will be broken
at once.
Sharp Construction company
of Kansas City has the contract
for the work between Coleman
and Lubbock, but ig sub-letting
it to other contractors. This
same company will also
build the line from Plainview to
Lubbock.
"I believe the breaking of the
ground in West Texas by plows
will result in a more even distri-
bution of rain, said Vice Presi-
dent D. B. Keeler of the Denver,
Friday morning, in commenting
upon The Star-Telegram's story
of Thursday about the Santa Fe's
plans in West Texas.
I don't know that plowing on
the plains results in drawing
rain," he continued, "but I firm-
ly believe in the distribution
feature. Once upon a time west-
ern Kansas was looked upon as
a desert, but the coming of the
farmer with hid plow brought a
better distribution of rain and
now Kansas is a garden spot.
West Texas will be the same
way."—Star-Telegram.
At Canadian .this Friday the
newspaper men of the 31st Judi-
cial district are having a meeting.
In a letter from Editor Jamison
of Canadian to this paper they
say that they expect to have a
big time and to arrange for all
attending the August meeting of
the N. W. T. P, A. at ChildreBS.
There is merit in this matter of
associations and no modern news-
paper man can attain his best
work and fail to attend them.—
