THE WEEKLY DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE,
COX IS MAKING
WINNING FIGHT
FOR DEMOCRACY
To The Democrats of The South:
The next President of these U}ilted
States will he Governor Jumcs M. Cox
of Ohio.
The next Senate will bo made up of
ix majority of Dempcrata, provided,
that funds are furnished by Demo-
crats of the South to pay the legiti-
mate expenses of the National Cam-
paign.
It was tinder democratic rule that
the shackles were removed from
Southern agriculture. The South owes
much to the Democratic Party.
The Democrats of the North are
making a valiant fight to get control
of the doubtful States from the Re-
publican patry. A great amount of
money will be needed to pay for ad-
vertisements In Republican papers
which are to be printed In rebuttal to
the lies which the Republicans are
spreading.
We have the candidate and we
have the platform. We have the In-
terest of our country at heart.
l^et me Impress upon every South-
ern Democrat, men and women, to
contribute. Make a contribution to
this noble cause.
Please rend your checks to your
Stato Finance Chairman and the mon-
ey will be forwarded Immediately io
New York to aid the National Com-
mittee in Its wonderful fight.
Let me say just now that the South
has more to gain and more to lose In
thla election than any election over
held In thl3 country.
Democratic success means peace,
prosperity and happiness for the south
as well as the entire country.
The time is short, delay may be
fatal. If the Southern Democracy
responds as it should then actual dis-
aster will bo averted.
Despite the lack of funds there Is a
spirit of optimism p.t National Head-
quarters. We are bound to win. be-
cause we are right.

tional Committee.

THE NASH SIX HAS
WON FIRST RANK
IN LIVESTOCK REALMS
BRIEF BITS OF NEWS AMONG COLLIN COUNTY'S PUREBRED
LIVESTOCK MEN.
Many men dissipat* or lose the
money of their employers without de-
sign, some without intent, some by
carelessness or accident, some througn
mere instability. Strange cases of all
kinds constantly come to the attention
of surety men, and perhaps the weird-
est of them is the classical affair of
the onmlvorouB hog writes Edward H.
Smith in the Saturday Idvening Post.
A young railroad employe was sent
to the bank for some money, and came
back with a package containing five
bills <of $100 denomination. The pos-
session of the cash must have Intoxi-
cated him. He stood on the station
platform outside the small depot In his
little town and tossed the money gay-
ly Into the air to amuse his fellows.
"Who cares for money?" he cried,
and up went the packet of five bills.
An unfriendly wind whirled the
money away. The clerk and one of tus
friends chased after it, only to find a
hog, which had been wallowing at the
end of platform, in the act of swal-
lowing the banknotes. Undoubtedly
anything green looked good to that
porker.
The clerk was In a yuandary. After
some debate he decided that the hog
must be butchered and tho cash re-
covered. But he saw no special need for
haste. He little understood the diges-
wlth the boar's eating, says one of our
exchanges. Removing the tusks makes
the boar more quiet and tractable be-
sides making him safer to handle.
Several instruments have been sugges-
ted for the purpose; among these be-
ing the file, hack saw, crowbar and
cold chisel, pinchers and clippers. The
last method Is preferred.
The boar should be confined in a
small pen, preferably where there are
strong posts to which he can be snub-
bed. A loop or rope should be placed
over the upper Jaw of the boar far
enough back bo that he cannot pull
out of it. He Bhould then be snubbed
up fairly short to a strong post, and
the operator should keep behind the
boar's head; that is, farther from the
post than the boar's mouth. In this
way, the operator keeps out of the
way of the boar's reach. With a pair
of clippers the tusks can be cut off
close to the gum, but care should be
exercised to avoid breaking them in
tho gurn, thus causing a sore mouth.
When the crowbar and cold chisel are
used the former Is put on one side and
the chisel given a good tup with tin
hammer on iho othor.

8ft-YEAR-OLD SUNDAY
SCHOOL PUPIL HERE
The Rev. J. Beu Snider claims to
have one of the oldest Sunday school
pupils In the city. The person refer-
red to Is W. F. Williams, 911 Soutn
Chestnut street. He was 86 years old
on Aug. 3 and has been a church
member for 46 years. He regularly
attends Sunday school, being a mem-
ber of the Working Men's Class of the
King Memorial Baptist church of
which the Rev. Mr. Snider Is toaohor.
Mr. Williams lives with his son, J. C.
Williams. He is a native of Tennessee.
The Daily Courier-Gazette would
like to have tho names of any other
aged Sunday School pupils residing In
.nir city with a record of their at-
tendance.
"America's endorsement of tho
(Nash Six with its perfected valve-ln-
head motor Is reflected In a demand
jfor tills car that is j.tinost without
parallel," says Mr. W. 10. Brown,
vice-president and manager retail
'sales. "And the reception accorded
j the Nash line of cars at the auto-
mobile show in an excellent lndlca-
jtion of the high regard on the part
[of the public for products of the
Nash Motors Company.
"There is no question but that the
Nash Six has won a place In the very
front rank, and while this is not re-
markable to those who know Mr. C.
W. Nash or are familiar with his
highly perfected organization, it is
after all, an eloquent testimonial to
the man who heads the Nash Motors
organisation.
"The Nash Six made Its initial bow
to the public at the Automobile Show
three years ago. When It was known
that Mr. Nash wad to build a car
bearing his own name that fact alone
!was sufficient to Inspire confidence
of the automobile trade and of the
public in general. It was taken for
granted that the product would pos-
sess unusual merit.
"And when the Nash Six appeared
on the market it represented every-
thing that had been predicted for it.
Since that time tho design of the per-
fected -vrjlve-in-head motor and of
the chassis hus remained practically
unchanged.
"Touches, of course, have been
added here and thero to the me-
chanical parts of the car and the
body designs of tho various models
have undergone slight changes to
add to their appearance so that The
Nash Six, as It stands today typifies,
I believe, maximum efflcency of
chassis and the utmost in coach-
builder's art.
"Thero Is about The Nash Six an atr
of distinction; its Individuality of ap-
pearance, its graceful lines, its un-
usually perfect balance and the quiet-
ness and economy of Its motor, all
combine to impel admiration on the
part of those who appreciate value
in a motor car. Thus the Nash own-
er generally Is looked upon as a man
of taste and his enthusiasm for his
car Is based no less upon Its com-
fortable riding qualities and general
appearance than upon Its perfected-
valve-ln-hoad motor."
The spirit was splendid and It waiy
confidently felt by each speaker that
the full amount pledged by their vari-
ous churches would be paid and ad-
ditional subscriptions secured front
new membership.
The following brethern spoke at
the meeting: Dr. O. L. Smith, Nevada,
J. C. Jones, Nevada; Rev. R. K. Cor-
nelius, Farmersvllle; Arthur Truett-^
Princeton; R. H. Crawford, Piano;
Rev. M. II. Godfrey, Allen; Rev. J.
Hen Snider, McKinney; J. E. Gibson.
Melissa; Kiev. R. J. Fletcher, Anna; J.
H. I'asson, Celeste; Rev. Cargyle,
pastor at Foote; Dr. G. L Yates of 6
McKinney, Rev. G. O. Key and tht*
County Evangelist, the Rev. Mr. Cole,
late af San Angelo. Deacon Jonos of
Nevada seemed to strike a tonder
note when he said that he regarded
his pledge to the Seventy-five Mil-
lion Campaign fund as the most sac->
red privilege of his life.
Orgtmlzer Chapman was much en-
couraged and believes that Collin
county will pay her full pledge for
the half year ending Nov. 1st.
It will be necessary, in order to
fully liquidate tho pledges due to date \
for Collin county Baptists to pay In
cash by Nov. 6th, about $3f),000.00.
Quite a sum, but not so much to be
paid by 10,000 Buptl. ts said Mr.
Chapman. a
