Coming here we stopped a few minutes at a sort of pueblo (little town) and about six little Mexican boys of the poorer class came up to sell American chewing gum. 1 bought a small package and waited for the “cambio”. One little fel low, with a smile said “change”. Then he said “chewing gum nice for the ladies”. I gave some money to the boys and taught them to say “thank you”, which they did remarkably well. Those attractive little fellows, even in their rags and baggy clothes may be the big men forty years from now. Nice little boys Wealth and birth and position of today are only skin deep. Where do they get the money for all the building and the buildings in Monterrey? I should like to know that. Monterrey probably has about ten percent of the bus business of Columbia, Charleston, Greenville or Spartanburg, but has a bus station a hundred per cent better than any of those cities. Anc a spacious and handsome hole: forms a part of the building. Why shouldn’t all big bus sta- tions have hotels? Are we progres sive “yankees” to learn from the Mexicans? Along the Plains of Texas. Will by esteemed friend, Mr. A. S. Salley, tell me just what and where was the first Capital of the Republic of Texas? I’ve overheard discussions ranging from Colum bus, West Columbia, Washington to Houston. Which of these may be as great as our Jacksonboro I don’t know. Well, Mr. Salley, lets have the full charge right in the face. Rice Country of Texas. Did you ever think of Texas rice? Great plains have been irri gated and planted to rice. I recall Ham” Manning telling me about ships loading rice at Galveston for Charleston. Why not at Houston? Houston dug a canal 60 miles long to deep water and became the 2nd port of the United States. Luling, Texas. I’ve just seen Ben Hill, a colored man a hundred and seven years old. Born in North Carolina he was brought here a slave. He knows of Santa Anna and the Mex ican War. Deep in the heart of Texas. Here in the Orange country, with groves yellow with ripe fruit, not an orange on sale for travellers. We Americans overlook some de tails. Why not sell fruit and fresh juice cheap? I can buy fruit juice in Greenville, South Carolina— fresh, but not here. Once i lived in a fishing village, but could buy no fish! Orange country of Texas. Why doesn’t our Government en courage the sale of stamps in most stores and restaurants? Why not stamp machines on the streets? And, of course, mail boxes in all public places, bus stations, De partment stores and at more cor ners? Even in cities you have to run about looking for a mail box. Rich men are the very founda tion of an expanding community. vVithin the last fourteen years we have heard so much about the ■‘Common man”; and so much against the “predatory rich”, the princes of privilege”—and all that —that I think it might prove in teresting to study the facts. Not all poor men are good men; nor are all rich men bad men. Many uneducated men are of the nighest character; and some edu cated men are rascals of few re deeming qualities. So, there is no such rule that will divide all men into good and bad, according to wealth. Some rich men are of no public service; they are about as useful as a boil on the neck; but some poor men are of no account, iither. So, we begin to get down .o cases. I looked over Houston, Texas, with great admiration. Who built .he town? Who conceived the idea jf the fine business buildings? Who provided the money? Here is a city which is sixty five miles from deep water. Somebody conceived the idea of digging a canal. Today Houston, on its canal, is the second port of the United States!! Can you really imagine that? Last year more than a million bales of cotton Were shipped from Houston by water. Did all the citizens of Houston create the canal? Did the average man in the street create that vast lot of freight that flows from that port? No, indeed; one man has an idea, then he tells it. Finally a small group will sponsor a plan and drive it along to development. There you are; a little group of men, a dynamic force, will do the Mrs. Ella J. Williams Mrs. Ella Jane Buzhardt Wil liams, 78, wife of Rufus J. Wil liams, died Monday at her home on Caldwell street following an illness of several months. She was the daughter of the late Hamilton and Jane McNeil Buzhardt, prom inent citizens of Newberry county. In addition to her husband, she is survived by three grandchildren, Mrs. Sam Parker, Malcolm and Horace Williams of Chicago, and one sister, Mrs. B. L. Bishop of Newberry. Funeral services were held at 4 o’clock Tuesday afternoon from Leavell funeral home, conducted by the Rev. J. C. Rice and the Rev. V. L. Fulmer. Interment followed in Rosemont cemetery. work. All the mass will enjoy it later. So we get everything as a rule. The budget idea of the Ways and Means committee is an appealing one—and correct, it seems to me. It shows to the citizens of the State the revenue received from ail sources and the disbursements of the State’s money. Instead of hag gling over twenty or twenty-seven millions, while spending eighty millions, we have a frank, clear statement covering the expenses of the State. It ought to be possible at all times to know what the State is spending; that is what Mr. Plow- den and his Committee are showing us. I fail to see why the Federal Budget may not be reduced with out grave consequences to our se curity. Let us assume that the military and naval fighting strength should be maintained, what about the vast expenditures for their civ ilian bureaucracy? What about some other billions poured out by the Government? Thirty billions may be easily within reason, if dis tributed prudently. BATTERIES To Fit Any Make Car. Reasonable Price.
