THE TEMPLE WEEKLY TIMES.
Wm. D COX. Editor.
PUBLI8HED EVERY SATURDAY.
A PAUItALLEL.
The above is the caption of an
article recently appearing in the
Mexia Ledger in reference to the
attacks made upon our Hon. G. C.
Pendleton. Here it is:
The Waco Advance cast a reflec-
tion upon the religion of the Hon.
George Pendleton on account of
his position on the prohibition
question. The Dallas News cited
the incident as indicating that pro-
hibitionists were seeking to make
a man’s position on the question a
test of his religion. In referring
to the News’ remarks, the Mexia
Presbyterian says:
‘•Suppose we make the True
Bines responsible for alt the insane
and incindiary ravings of the Anti
Prohibitionists of Houston. That
would, be as fair as to make the
prohibitionists responsible for the
utterances of anjT one of their num-
ber.”
This is by no means a parallel
ease. The Anti-Prohibitionist was
never constituted the organ even
of a single anti club in the state,
nor has it received any support to
speak of by those who from princi-
pal oppos1' the amendment. The
Advance, on the other hand, is the
reoognized organ of the prohibi-
tionist*, heretofore beloved and
fostered by them all and under the
immediate supervising eye Dr.
Carroll has bjen supposed to speak
ex cathedra. Now for his breth-
ren to abandon him, because in his
ardor, be told .more than it was
wise to tell, is unfeeling, but to
have his utterances compared with
the “insane incindiary raviugs”
of that Houston paper by a brother
in the oause is simply the basest of
ingratitude.
The 29th. is Temple’s sixth an-
niversary.__
Bell county will make an abun-
dance of corn and cotton this year.
Temple is the heartiest and most
thriving six-year old in Texas or
in the entire country.
Prohibition would rob * free
citizen of the privilege of doing as
he would with that whioli is his
own.
In two weeks Temple will be
six years old and the day should
be observed and colebrated in
some manner.
The coffee speculators have
come to grief, their coffee f?ot too
weak for them. The marke is
still muddy.
The Temple Times is a Bell
county paper and contains full re-
ports of news from all sectious.
Subscribe for it.
There is a vast difference be-
tween regulation of privileges as
they exist and the snppression or
prohibition of any privileges at
all.
People who like strong coffee
will be pleased to know that the
speculators who had forced the
price of coffee up to such a high
mark have gotten the worst of it.
The probibiiionist8 can close at
least one-half of the suloons in
Texas before the August election
if they will enforo personal prohi-
bition aud induce many of their
prominent orators to cease gazing
upon the wine when it is red.
Full many a blatant orator who
pipes a note in favor of the prohib-
itory amend ment draws the inspira
bottle which he pretends to exe.
crate.
Wonder what the Dallas Morn-
ing Herald Thinks The Times
want* with its “plate matter’’
weekly edition? Send us your
daily or stop the weekly.
The Daily and Weely Times
contians a full aud complete re-
port of tho local happenings at Bel-
ton, full court reports, etc., besides
specials from all the neighbor-
ing points in the county. Remem-
ber this, and don’t fail to examine
our paper, if yon havn’t seen it.
It is reported that certain of the
citizens of Cameron have subscrib-
ed $2,100 to start a democratic
newspaper in Milam county. That
county certainly needs a straight-
out democratic paper and we hope
it will get one, in the meantime
neighbors seud in subscriptions for
The Temple Times.
The Massachusetts legislature
refused to submit a prohibition
amendment to be voted on by the
poople, the republicans nearly all
voting tor the submission and the
democrats solidly opposing it,
Does this strike the intelligent
reader as suggestive of‘he democ-
racy of prohibition.
Danforth, the bullet-headed ed-
itor of the Killeen Banner, here-
tofore regarded as a more fair
minded rnan by this paper, uses
by way of argument of a prohibi-
tion point, a reference to that ma-
licious, slanderous, midnight,
anonymous circular, which he,
Danforth, refused to print; which,
said reference is hereby denounced
as cowardly and unmanly.
Cranfill thinks The Times’ edi-
tor needs a new he id and heart.
We beg to diff. r because wo are
afraid, should we part with those
we now have, we might get some
moulded after the pattern of the
doughty doctor’s, and then we
would be inclined, as he is, to
drive people iuto coincidence with
our personal ideas. We are too
ltberal for that yet.
The Rusk County News is an
ardent prohibition paper, but it
must have forgotten its allegiance
when it propounded this string of
nterrogatories.
Who is it that has lost confi-
dence in the virtue of the people f
Who is it that tells ns the laws
cannot be enforced 1 Who is it
that tells us that the whiskey power
•-an override the strong arm of the
law? Who is it that impugns the
honesty of officers of the law ?
The answer in overj case is:
“The prohibitionists.”
The lively war which has been
going on between E. A. McDowell,
Esq., of Gatesville and Dr. J. B.
Cranfill, of the Waco Advance,
has terminated in this,from Brother
Cranfill:
Ah a number of our readers fail
lo understand a paragraph in Sat-
urday’s Advance, relating to Mr.
McDowell, we will say that the
meaning of said paragraph was
briefly this: That we believed Mr.
McDowell thought what he utter-
ed in his speech was true, and con-
sequently we retructod the harsh
language applied to him.
The Holland Horn, notwith-
standing its prohibition proclivi-
ties, is fair and courteous in its
treatment of tho opposition. Hon.
Geo. C. Pendleton spoke at Hol-
land last week, in its report of tho
address the Horn says: “Geo. C.
is not impressive as a speaker aud
by do moaus an orator. But was
clear and concise, showing himself
well acquainted with all the objec-
tionable features of the amend-
ment. Ha was given ti-e bast
tiou which wakes the slumbering hearing of any anti that has spok-
Mb; 0- A. Seat formerly of the smother only less in degree butthe
fires of eloquence within him,
itom the same old bourbon whisky
s ..
Elgiq Times, through a private
letter, to the editor of The Times,
denies most strenuously the char-
ge* brought by that paper con-
cerning him and reproduced in
this paper. He also denies that a
Galveston candy factory discharg-
ed him for telling the boss “that
his breath smelled bail,” while ad.
dressing him through a speaking
tube. He don't think the boss’
breath was offensive, and if it was
bo did not get ‘fired” for telling
him so. Those statements are
made for the benefit of Mr. Seay
whom we have no desire to mis>
represent.
The gallant Texas veterans,
whose numbers now are now few,
are opposed to prohibition. These
men bought Texas’ freedom by
their blood and bravery and dur-
ingmore than half a century have
watched, with glowing pride, her
steady advance to the foremost
rank in the grand union of inde-
pendent states, without realizing
that they had wrenched from Mex-
ican horde* und savage foes the
fair soil of Texas for a race of
drunkaris. They do not realize
it now, for the very evidence of
their own senses forbids such a
realization. They have seen more
than a generation of men come
upon life’s scene and they believe
thatthese men, like themselves,
aro capable ofselt-government and,
so believiug, they oppose the
movement which seeks to sec up
the state as the guardian of the
citizen’s appetite.
Uncle Bob Childers, one of the
oldost veterans in Texas, and who
has been in Bell county for the
past fifty-four years, called on
The Times Tuesday morning.
Uncle Bob is known to be tho
most ardent anti-prohihitionist and
the speech of Hon. A. Lewy out
at Elmwood, Uncle Bob’s neigh-
borhood, last Saturday night was
exactly in accordance with his
ideas, only he says Mr. Lewy was
miataken about the “mesquite”
grapes. Uncle Bob says lie used
to feed his horse on mesquite
beans ill the early days, and at
present many good Bell county
ladies want to and do make wine
from the native mustang grapes.
Mr. Lewy’s speech is said to have
been the master effort of the cam-
paign and won many new converts
to the cause he espouse*. He ad-
dressed the largest audience ever
assembled in the county for this
campuign, and in the words of
Uncle Bob, people tumbled off the
fence and jumped over the fence
at every poiut made by Mr. Lewj,
on the side of the antis.
That good little prohibition pa-
per, The Day, at Waco, has the
following in its Sunday edition, in
regurd to tiat fanatical W. H.
Brooke:1, of San Antonio: “Some
meu never know when to let well
enough alone, and Mr. W. H.
Brooker, of San Antonio, is one of
them. In his zeal to punish ihc
anti-prohibitionists for an outrage
condemned bp all good people and
which has tended more than any
other one circumstance to advance
prohibition in Texas, he rushes in
to offset an act of outrage and vio
lence on free speech by a species
of persecution which will find no
favor with fair-minded people.
In procuring the arrest of city offi-
cials of San Antonio for conspira-
cy. and thus trying to identify
them with the perpetration of acts
for which they are neilher legally
nor • morally responsible, Mr.
Brooker has overleaped the limits
of dlscrutiou and put his own side
en to this peple. Several ladies in the altitude of: trying to right
were present.” pne wrong by the perpetration of
same in spirit. We do not propose
(bat the prohibitionists shall pose
a* martyrs oraek for public sym-
pathy on a pleA of persecution,
they should simply stand on the
broad basis of liberty, claiming
and conceding equal rights of citi-
zenship and refusing to sanction
any act prompted by prejudice
br paislon.
' l —
The Times heartily endorses ev.
ery word of the following, which
is from the Dallas T.mes: “The
nows comes that a prohibition
meeting was broken up at San An
tonio aud tlie speakers treated in
a most outrageous manner,. The
mob threw rotten eggt at then and
otherwise visited indignities ou
them. It there is any respect for
the law and the right of free
speech in Bexar cotmty the au
thorities will punish theio ruffians.
It is a delightful state of affairs in
that neighborhood. The anti-pro-
hibitants throughout the sti-to are
fighting for personal liberty and
tho retention of the principle in
this government that no one’s lib-
erty or speech shall he abridged
The San Antonio roughs, pretend-
ing to bo on the side of nersonal
liberty, which carries wi»h it the
privilege of freo speech, deliber-
ately endeavors to abridge it in
other people. It is just suen con-
duct as this that make- the fight
hard for men who are fighting on
principle. It is just such black-
guards who are paraded by the
prohibitionists. It is just such
conduct as this San Antonio dis-
grace whu:h does more for the
prohibition cause than all the ar-
guments that can be produced by
its champions. The law to punish
these should bo invoked and the
anti prohibitionists should do
what they can to see that they are
punished. The Times helds that
the American has the right to ex-
press himself, whether that Amer*
ican be prohibitionist or anti-pro-
hibitionist, and any effort to limit
that right is a sin against the
republic and should be punished
as the gravest of crimes.”
THE FLOUR MILL AGAIN.
Temple can not afford to sleep
on her rights and permit any le-
gitimate enterprise that promises
to redound to her interests, lag for
proper public suaport and encour-
agement, and The Times, ever
true to her wants and needs, will
again call on our people to revive
this most important entoi prise for
Temple. The time is amply at
haud when thiH scheme must be
consummated. It is an'opportuuily
of a lifetime and Temple must
avail herself of it. Handsome
and extensive roller flour mills are
being built to the east, west and
north of ns. Temple is properly
the small grain center of Central
Texas, and has justly won such a
reputation, having handled more
small grain the past three years
than all the other markets around
us combined. Then why not man-
ufacture here, from the immense
wheat crops, a first.class merchant-
able brand ot flour. There are
men of means in Temple, provided
a reasonable amount of encourage,
merit is offered by Temple’s citi.
zens. Are they going to let such
an opportunity pass? We say no,
Rev. Joseph Langston is E well
known minister and member of the
South Georgia Conference of the
M. E. Church South, stationed at
Brownwood, Ga., on the South-
western railroad, and is esteemed
by all who know him. He says:
Gentlemen-! very cbeefrully and
gratefully certify to the efficacy of
Swift’s Specific in curing me of a
severe case of dyspepsia, which
hod harrassed me for abon^two
years. I had it so bud that I could
not sleep. Night after night I lay
awake, unable to get an hour’s
sleep. My friends who had known
me before I had the dyspepsia
hardly recognized the same man
in me when ibe disease held ine in
its tightest grip. I may truthfully
say that l had dyspepsia about as
bad as a man conld have it, not to
die. It was so severe that I felt,
as I suppose other dyspeptics do,
as if I had several different fatal
diseases, ranging from heart di-
ease to consumption. Indeed, one
physician stood me out that one of
my lungs was affected.
After several months of taking
S. 8. 8. 1 was cured, and am en.
tirely well to-day, not having lost
a single day this year in my pas-
toral duties. This was last year.
I keep S. 8. 8. as a household
medicine, and there are lew ail-
ments which, by purifying the
blood, are not benefitted, and
many cured, by the use of Swift’s
Specific. Joseph 0. Langston.

It is seldom that an editor is
called on to chronicle more grati-
tying news than the following:
“One bottle of Dansby’s Cotton
Patch Bitters entirely cured me
of chills and fever and enlarged
spleen. I would not be without
it.—G. W. R- ed, Big Sandy, Up-
shur county, Texas.’’ Thi* power-
