At the conclusion of the appointing
the above chairman Rev. J. A. Maples
of Mineola, Texas, who Is In Collin
County in the Interest of submission,
was Introduced by Mr. Smith and
made a short but Interesting talk.
Rev. Maples canvassed the State of
Missouri in the Interest of submission
and stated that the reason submission
failed there was because the prohi-
bitionists of the banner pro counties
neglected their work. He said that
the brewers sent out dclcgutes, some
pretending to bo book agents, some
agents for a natented gate, etc.
He urged that every votor of Collin
bounty go to the polls July 25, and
cast a voto for the Honorable Thotn-
us H. Ball and submission.
H. A. Ivy of Sherman, candidate
for Flotorla! Representative from
Collin and Grayson Counties was then
introduced and inado a brief an-
nouncement. He also urged that tho
voters cast n vote for submission on
July 2!i.
Dr. M. M. Morrison of Denlson was
tho next speaker and made a very
strong speech In the Interest of the
candidacy of Mr. Ball, giving his
reason why he was against Mr. Fer-
guson.
Mayor If. A. Finch then Introduced
Hon. F. F. Hill of Denton, tho prin-
cipal speaker for the afternoon. Mr.
Hill started his speech by saying
that he was Indeed glad to bo In Mc-
Klnney again, the town where he first
plnccd his feet upon Texas soil after
landing in the I^rno Star State. He
oame to Collin County with his par-
ents In 1874. At that time, ho said,
they were Just laying the foundation
of the present court house. He said
he lived In Collin County for several
years and then moved over Into Den-
ton County where he had since resid-
ed.
Mr. Hill Is an ardent supporter of
Mr. Ball and Is following Hon. C. C.
McDonald up who is speaking for
James Ferguson. Mr. Hill mndo a
▼cry forceful address In favor of Mr.
Bnll which was listened to very at-
tentively. Mr. Hill Is an eloquent
speaker with enough wit to make
any one enjoy his nddress.
Senator B. B. Sturgeon of Paris,
candidate for Hloutennnt Governor,
was Introduced by Hon. F. F. Hill and
made his announcement to the voters
of McKlnney nnd Collin County for
this ollloe.
Hon. Charles Spradley of Allen,
candidate for Flotorla! Representa-
tive of Collin and Grayson Counties
for re-election was then Introduced
and In n few brief remarks assured
Mm voters that be would appreciate
their support and Influence at the
npproacnlng election.
Mr. Smith then Introduced Ju4ge
A. W. Walker of Dallas, campaign
■nnnnger for Mr. Ball for the State,
who spoke for about thirty minutes.
He, In a plain arid convincing way,
told of some of the conditions which
•listed In the campaign which is now
on. lit1 stated that there was not a
single Mtloon man in Texas that was
going to vote for Mr. Ball; and that
Mr. Bull didn't want their vote. He
further said tii.it the news hud been
circulated 111 South Texas, and espe-
cially the wet counties that the North
T< vas counties would go for Fergu-
son, lie says that this report was
circulated hoping to pull the South
Texas vote to Mr. Ferguson. Mr.
Walker highly complimented Colllu
County ou being the banner prohibi-
tion county of Texas. He stated that
Collin County on the submission
i|iiestlun in 1911 gave in excess of
1,000 dry votes over the wet votes
cast In every county in tho fifteen
Senatorial Districts comprising tho
north half of Texas, eliminating 121
Paso. Mr. Walker gave a cordial In-
vitation to tho prohibitionists of Col-
lin County to uttend tho submission
rally to be held at Dallas Thursday,
July 2.
The following extract from Mr.
Hill's speech Is taken from McKln-
ney Examiner:
Is h ergusou sincere in Ills profes-
sion of love for the tenant?
What manner of man is ho?
I have In my hand a copy of His
printed speech, In which he ways he
is the "degenerate uon of an lllux
trim# father." Now the dictionary
defines "degenerate" as low, l>ase
im Kti. corrupt, having lost the Rood
qualities of the species." Now that
Is prett) hard tiilk which Ferguson
makes against himself lint let us sue
if 't Is eorroborntod. You know that
yon cannot convict n criminal In the
Court Hotifo upon his own statement
v In n net Corroborated unless upon a
voluntary confession In open Court,
and as he Ik not present let's see U
there Is any corroboration to his
statement that lie Is a "degenerate
son?" I hnttb some , eiglit points
which I think corroborate him and
upon which any man If he were tried
for his life would l>e convicted in a
Conrt of justice, but I shall only elab-
orate four of these points which inay
lend to corrtfbornte his statement.
First. There lived a man down In
Ferguson's county by the name ol
.lor.es, 'lie bought from Ferguson 250
acres of land t*t $75 per acre, giving
vendor lien notes to secure the bal-
i nop of the tiiirehafp money, .font
I n'<l m 0 on the land, and o'ie year,
the rains descended and the flood
fame and washed Away Jones' crop
and lie hfd nothing with which to
•make his annual payment to banker
Ferguson. Hut I Imagine he and his
.good old wife talked It over and that
old farmer Jones believing that all
men are Just, snld, "Mother we have
lived on the fnrni those several years,
we have Improved it as our lioir.c, and
expect to live nnd die here and be
qiienthe It when we die to these our
children, nnd as the land has Increas-
ed In value and ns we hnvc paid ffl.nno
on It and have never before failed to
meet otir payments, I am going up
to-day and get banker Ferguson to
carry n over another year," And
Mrs. Jones said: "That Is right fath-
er, I know you will have no trouble,
because banker Ferguson knows that
he Is perfectly safe, and If he is not
a degenerate and unless his pocket
iiook is his principles, 1 know he will
carry us for another year." And then
Xnnmer Jones goes to see hanker Fer-
«UPon, and he Is ushered Into the pri-
vate office all fitted and furnished as
for a king, and he tells the hanker
wh'nt he desires, and banker Ferguson
said he would he, glad to accommodate
him and carry him over If farmer
Jones would give him additional se-
curity, Rut he knew this was Impos-
sible, nnd banker Ferguson finally
took bnck t'ne 25fl ncres of land, and
cancelled* the balance of fai'mer
.'ones' Indebtedness, upon farmer
Jones losing the $6,000 and deeding
him in addition to the 250 acres, 45
acres of land which he had bought
and paid or and which lay along side
of the 250 ncres. Now Is this not cor-
roboration No, 1 of the defendant's
statement as to his degeneracy?
8econd. Mr. Ferguson formerly ran
a loan nnd trust company down in his
county nnd he would loon a tenant
$100 Tor three or four months, charg-
ing him tlO Interest nnd at the same
time make the tenant give him a writ-
ten statement or contract, agreeing
to driver 10 bales of cotton to Fer-
.euson nnd agreeing to give him, V"
puson. $l.uu per hale for selling them,
thus Ferguson getting |20 for $100 for
three or four months, being about six-
ty per cent interest on his money, but
this Is not all', when the tenant sold
the cotton himself because he thought
Ferguson didn't make It, bring the top
j.rlCe, Ferguson collected the $1.00
anyway. Is this corroboration of his
degeneracy?
Third. , It has been sworn by the
two men who Ferguson said he would
leave It to, that he said In a local o|i-
tlon campnlgn In Bell county a few
years a.go, "Let these cigarette smok-
ing hoys go to hell; we must take
icare of our business; my pocketbook
Is my principle^."
Is this not corroboration that he has
not only become degenerate, lost the
«ood qualities of his species, hut that
he has no love for the young of Ms
species nnd would rather see them In
holl than to have the saloons driven
frora his county.
fourth.—Now when a thin* hss
been settled by a solemn Judgment of
a Conrt. It becomes what tha lawyers
term res ad Judicata, settled so that
we get a Judgment of a Court adjudi-
cating Ferguson a Mar. Can there he
any doubt about It? Csn there be
any objection to receiving hlo confes-
JUDGE W. J. IMS Domes AROUND
DIES IT SHERMAN
Special to Courier-Gazette.
Sherman, Tex.,' June 30.—Judge
W. J. MatbiH, of the Special District
Court of Grayson County, died here
this morning at a local hospital at
1:10 o'clock Jlldgn Mat tils was
stricken wltb appendicitis last Fri-
day morning and was carried to the
sanitarium. Mi the afternoon of
that day he submitted to the opera-
tion, It seemed that the operation
w is suet ssful, and recovery would
follow Kvery member of Ills family
and Ills friends were liopi IVI until
about 12 o'clock last night At utiout
that hour Judge Mathl.s' eondtlii li
begun to become more critical, and
be sank very rapidly ut li' llie en I
came.
The deceased was forty-three years
of age.
Judge Mathts was a tin'lve of Geor-
gia, but can e to Texas ,n his curly
boyhood. Soon after lunding In this
stuto be entered tile service of the
Houston Post. He served us printers'
devil uud later reporter. But he was
ambitious to elevate Ills status In
life. Iln went to the Hnivcrslty of
Texas, where be did work in the uca-
dcmlc and law schools. When Ills
diplomas were awarded him lie lo-
cated at Denlson, Texas, and entered
Into the practice of Ids profession.
Ilo soon won laurels. The bar of
Texas recognized him as one of Its
ablest members.
Judge Mathis served a number of
times for Judge J, M. Pearson when
the latter was Judge of the District
Court of Collin and Grayson Coun-
ties. lie also served one term In the
Texas legislature alter which he was
appointed Judge of the Special Dis-
trict Court for Grayson County. Ills
work In that position formed a rec-
ord of w hich he might well be proud
His lust work In this capacity was
the recent trial of dinner sheriff l.ei
McAfee at Sherman, which sensa-
tional trial was completed ou last
Wednesday. .After completing t h
work of that case, he was not well,
but did not have any feollng if
alarm. Thursday the Judge spent
most of tho day In tho Sheriff's of-
fice at Sherman. Friday morning he
was real 111, uud the operation fol-
lowed on that afternoon.
Judge Mathis exchanged benches
Willi Judge Harnett of this city a
number of times, and mndo many
friends here. While In the city, ho
was a frequent caller at this olllee
nnd was always welcomed. As bis
court will automatically cease lo ex-
ist soon, he had entered the race for
the Judgeship of tho District Court
of Collin and Grayson Counties, of
which Hon. M. II. Garnet I is now tho
Judge. '
Judge Mathis Is survived by bis
wife and one daughter. Miss Kllza-
betli. He was a vestryman in St.
Stephen's Kpiscopal Church at SI er-
man, and was also President of the
Men's Club of that church. The re-
mains were shipped to Denlson <n
the 8: ,10 cur this morning, and inter-
ment was made this afternoon, Rov.
W. J. Miller, bis rector, officiated.
The sudden and unexpected death
of Judge Mathis plunged our city In-
to deepest sorrow, for tho deceased
was popular during the brief time our
citizens had known him. Ho was a
genial gentleman, warm-hearted, en-
ergetic, buoyant and hopeful. Being
cut off In the very midst of health
uud in the prime of life, Ids dondse
throws a pall of sadness across two
counties, and his memory will be
cherished by hundreds of admiring
friends throughout. North Texan.

Wushiugton, D. C. July 2. Hunt
bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance
to cross continent July 2 to II, warm
wave t to f , coed wave 4 to 8. This
disturbance will bo ut Its greatest
force on Pucltle slope. After It crosses
tho Rockies the low or storm center
Is expected to move southeustward,
und pass thru tho southern states
While I lie high or cool wave is making
Its put It thru the northern states and
('uiuula.
In most of the disturbances of June
tho lov i kept well to northward und
the ilglis made their tracks thru the
cotton states. A radical change of
weather bus been expected for llrst
week in July. As we nave It much
more ruin will full in tho cotton states
during July than fell in June and the
rains will l o more evenly distributed.
Flrgt half of July the soli will prob-
ably absorb the rain In the cotton
states with great beiictu to the cotton
hut tho ruins will continue and may
damage cotton last half of July by ex-
cessive moisture.
Rainfall will be less towurd the
north and in the northern states and
Canada where abundant rains fell In
Juno not much rain Is expected In
July while most rain Is expected In
July In northern sections where mois-
ture was deficient in June. Corn will
probably receive tho greatest benefit
from tho July rains and wo may ex-
pect a great improvement in that crop
before end of July in mid-latitudes.
Corn in the southern states hus been
permanently damaged.
But what will those largely In-
creased rains In July do to the Winter
wheat and outs harvest und thresh-
ing? Therein lies a problem. Prob-
abilities are that floods will occur in
the southern stutcs In July where
least ruin fell ill June. July Indica-
tions uro quite fuvorablo to Spring
wheat.
Next, disturbance will roach Puclflc
const ubout July 7, cross Pacific slope
by close of (i, great central valleys 9
to II, eastern sections 12. Warm
I wave will cross Pacific slope about
July 7, great central valleys 9, eastern
section 11. Cool wavo will cross Pu-
clflc slope about July 10. great central
valleys 12, eastern section 14.
This disturbance will be of greater
than usual forco and severe storms
are expected to accompany It. Most
scvoro storms aro expected south of
latitude 40, probably in tho cotton
states. But tho Pacific coast and slope
should watch for squalls near July 9.
Tho cool wavo will carry temperatures
down to lowpr degrees than usual.
Another disturbance will reach Pa-
cific coast about July 11, cross Pacific
slopo by closo of 12, great central val-
leys 18 to IS, eastern sections 16.
Warm wavo will cross Pacific slopo
about July 11, great central valleys 18,
eastern sections 15. Cool wove will
cross Pacific slope about July 14,
great central valleys 10, eastern sec-
tions 18
Temperatures of this nnd the prev.
lous disturbance will average lower
than usual and will go near the frost
lino In Canada and some of our north-
ern states within two days of July 14.
The storm forces of this will bo less
than In the previous disturbance.
A radical electro-magnetic disturb-
ance will occur near July I but we can
not now locate Its effects. Watch that
date, or from July i to It, and you
will surely read of some radical
weather events, electro storms or
earthquakes.
Wo appreciate the renewal of J. C.

munity and la a son of R. 8. Kemp,
