TRAINING FOR STRENUOUS CAMPAIGN

Attorney George A. Williams, who *is to succeed Judge Charles W. Hanly as the judge of the Jasper-New-ton circuit court after the November I election, has gone in training for his campaign. He has joined the Wood Cotter Club and after a workout Tuesday forenoon was accepted by the members of that order by a unanimous vote. County Recorder Scott, City Clerk Sands and Shoe Dealer Collins have been retreating each morning about 5 o’clock to the tall timber on the farm of Trustee John Rush in Newton township and are making a winning fight against the high cost of coal by providing a bounteous supply of* what is known in this county as' Nubbin-Ridge Coal. In order to encourage this newly organized club and to help it as much as possible Trustee Rush gives the members all of the wood in the trees they cut down except that part of the bodies which will make good saw-logs. The conditions are that all stumps must be grubbed out, all brush burned and the land cleared for the work of the plow in the virgin soil. Trustee Rush is to retain the land clear of mortgage and debris and to have as stated above the saw-logs. The members of thb “Wood Cutter Club” speak in the highest terms of praise of their new recruit and Collins, who is a staunch Democrat concedes that if the Republicans saw political wood as Attorney Williams saws real wood there is nothing to it and that the Democrats just as well give up as every Republican from Harding for president down to W. E. Poole for county recorder will be elected by great majorities and .that possibly the only successful Democrat will be Joseph Baily as governor of Texas.
