Repels Attack of Death.
"Five years ago two doctors told
me I had only two years to live."
This startling statement was made
by Stlllman Green, Malachite, Col.,
"They told me I would die with
consumption. It was up to me then
to try the best lung medicine and I
began to use Dr. King's New Dis-
covery. It was well I did, for today
I am working and believe I owe my
life to this great throat and lung
cure that has cheated the grave of
another victim." Its folly to suffer
with coughs, colds or other throat
and lung troubles now. Tnke the
cure that's safest. Price 50 cents
and $1.00. Trial bottle free at .all
druggists.

GOOD CAUSE
As will be seen by the following
letter, which has been received by
the Kegent of the Richard Koyal
Chapter, D. A. R., and furniBhed to
this office, that the organization is
planning a great and most commend-
able work. The letter and the sen-
timent therein expressed, speaks for
itself, and should need no words of
commendation from us. The letter
follows:
My Dear Madam Regent: The es-
tablishment of a school for the edu-
cation of Southern Mountaineers has
been a long cherished plan of many
Daughters of the American Revolu-
tion. It would seem a fitting me-
morial to the men who achieved
American Independence that the
education of their descendants
should be an essential work of our
great society, a labor of patriotic
love for this type of pure American
youth, of appreciation for the ser-
vices of our common ancestors and
the fulfilling of a long-standing
duty to their descendants. The in-
accessibility of the mountain re-
gions, the years of Isolation and re-
moteness from the march of progress
have deprived them of the advant-
ages thai, were their rightful inher-
itance. No lack of personal ability,
ambition, determination and courage
have caused these conditions, but
the environment has been too great
a foe for them to overcome.
In one mountain school It was re-
ported last, year that one of its pupils
who could not read or write was a
descendant of one of the Colonial
Governors, another one to have had
eight Revolutionary soldiers as an-
cestors. Surely when these conditions
obtain, we, the descendants of other
more fortunate comrades, can lend
a, hand to help. Our ancestors and
theirs would desire no greater trib-
ute to their memory than that their
children have the valued opportun-
ities of American citizenship.
The Patriots' Memorial Chapter of
the District of Columbia has under-
taken the establishment of a fund
for the erection and support of a D.
A. R. school for the Southern Moun-
taineers and asks your co-operation
and assistance.
To this end three books are being
compiled—the Daughters' M<*norlal
book, in which the name, national
number and chapter of every daugh-
ter contributing $1 to this cause is
inscribed, the Chapter Memorial
book In which will be placed the
name and a brief history of the
chapter whose contributions have
reached $25. and the Patriots' Mem-
orial book containing the name jok'
condensed record of each Revoln
tionary patriot for each one of whom
the descendant contributes $10.
We ask your enthusiastic support
to this cause. Will you read this
letter at your next chapter meeting
and use your valued influence to-
wards the contribution of your mem-
bers.
Contributions may be sent to Mrs.
Paul It. Hickok, Treasurer, care Rev.
Paul 11. Hickok. The Manse, 1" Fifth
Street S. E. Washington, D. C. Cor-
dially yours,
Signed, Mrs. Harriet A. Arnold,
Regent, Mrs. Delia O. Smallwood,
Vice-Regent, Miss Lillian Norton,
Secretary, Mrs. Mary E. Hickok,
Treasurer.
A SPLK.NDll) EFFORT.
Speech of Marion Church in Defense
of King.
The speech of Hon. Marlon Church
In the district court Monday evening
in defense of Mr. King of Farmers-
vllle, In the celebrated negro hang-
ing case, is said by many who heard
Marion, to be the strongest, ablest
and most eloquent ever delivered by
a young lawyer In the temple of jus-
tice. For more than one hour he
pleaded for the man at the bar of
justice, like an old-timer at the
business, and with a few more years
of experience, he will be one of the
powers at the bar, not only in Me-
Kinney, but in the Lone Star State.
Being well educated, he speaks with
strong language, has a well rounded
voice, deep, penetrating, and at
times, grows eloquent. The efforis
of Marlon Church to try and do
something in life should be an in-
spiration to any young man. We
cannot forecast his future; but it is
brilliant and exceedingly bright.

HOW TO SUCCEED
During the last few years, condi-
tions in all lines of business, even
professional life, have changed so
completely that every man Is waking
up to the fact that In order to win
success he must specialize and learn
to do some one thing and do it well.
So It Is with any article that is
sold to the people. It must have gen-
uine merit or no amount of advertis-
ing will maintain the demand for
the article.
For many years we have watched
with much interest the remarkable
record maintained by Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great Kidney, Liv-
er and Bladder Remedy. From the
very beginning the proprietors hadi so
much confidence In It that they Invit-
ed every one to test it, free of cost,
before purchasing.
It is a physician's prescription.
They have on file thousands of
letters received from former suf-
ferers who are now enjoying good
health its a result of Its use.
However, if you wish first to try a
sample bottle, address Dr. Kilmer &
Co., Blnghamton, N. Y., and mention
this paper. They will gladly forward
you a sample bottle by mall, abso-
lutely free.

THE MODERN
DEVELOPERS
Electric railways have taken a
firm hold in the good opinions of the
business world. Texas has been
turned to in comparatively recent
years as an inviting field for their
construction. Already several lines
are in operation. MeKinney is well
aware of their advantages as coun-
try developers and town builders.
Their popularity ub a means of
frequent passenger service, as well
as for freight traffic, is growing
by leaps and bounds. The Southern
Traction Company recently organized
with several MeKinney stockholders
and J. F. Strickland as president,
had little difficulty In Belling $.'>,-
600,000.00 bonds, and It is announc-
ed that actual construction on the
road is to commence about April
1st. Their road will be built south
from Dallas to Ferris. At Ferris,
It will branch. One prong will go
to Waxahachie, Hlllsboro and Waco,
while the other branch will go to
Ennis and Corslcana. The total mil-
eage of both branches and the main
line from Dallas to Ferris will be
one hundred and forty miles. Tills,
with the seventy-six mile line from
Dallas north through MeKinney,
Sherman to Denison will give one of
the longest continuous lines of elec-
tric railway in the whole South.
While the Southern Traction Com-
pany is a separate concern from the
Texas Traction Company, which
owns the line through MeKin-
ney, yet both companies have many
of the same stockholders. Among
Ihe McKlnneyltes who are stockhold-
ers in both companies are John S.
Heard, W. B. Newsome, R. L. Wad-
dill, T. B. Wilson, J. R. Gougli, .1.
L. Lovejoy and Burr Martin. J. F.
Strickland, is president of both
companies. His success and reputa-
tion as an electric railroad builder,
is a guarantee of the construction of
any project that he may undertake
to promote.
Another Electric Line.
Stone & Webster Interests are al-
so engaged! In the construction of
two electric lines in Texas. One
of them from Fort Worth to Cle-
burne and the other from Dallas to
Waxahachie: These people already
operate the Dallas-Fort Worth line,
and are expected to close up the
last gap In the electric belt square,
by building a line frpm Cleburne to
Wrfxnhachie. Thus within a period
of five or six years the most popu-
lous North Texas towns and sections
of country are fast being connected
up by electric railways and others,
besides the above referred to ones,
are either projected or promoted. R.
L. Waddill of MeKinney, is a shrewd,
far-seeing business man, experienc-
ed In interurban operations, gives It
as his opinion that the oft mention-
ed McKlnney-Bonham line is a fea-
sible one from a paying standpoint
In event it should be built. In Mr.
Waddill's opinion, a survey and en-
gineer's report of the proposed line
would Indicate that It would! pay.
The density of population, the fertil-
ity of the country through which it
would pass and lack of railway fa-
cilities, all furnlih comparative re-
liable information from which it can
be determined in advance whether or
riot any electric line will pay if
properly managed. Bonham has pro-
posed to furnish ten men, if MeKin-
ney will do likewise, who will ad>-
vanee the necessary funds with
which to defray the expenses of a
survey of the route and making an
engineer's report on the project by
which It can almost, be definitely de-
termined as to Its practicability
from a paying investment stand-
point. Mr. Waddill thinks this is
Ihe way to go about the matter and
he hopes to see something done
about the matter which will mean
so much for both MeKinney and
Bonham. and Northeast Collin,
through which the line would have
to pass.
