SAM J, HARTING AND
OLD FIDDLERS AT
OLD SETTLERS REUNION
Editor of The Ecljo,
Sulphur Spfings, Texas.
I have just visited once more your
Old Settlers Reunion. Your side-show
and carnival seemed to do a pretty
good business.
I met as many as some six or
eight old-timers Tuesday afternotin.
Tuesday night I failed to spot a hu-
man being I knew.
After meeting John Shook, Ed
Rash, Jim Leach, Ed Green, Prof.
Sam J. King and the Honorable May-
or Mr. Shade Gafford, I had a rat-
tling good time listening to the old-
time music of the Commerce String
Band. What those fellows can’t do
with “hill-billy” music no one else
need even try.
I used to say, some forty years
ago, that Nor and Sam Winniford
were the best fiddlers still running
loose, and when they got all het up
there Tuesday afternoon, together
with Charley Higgins, two more fel-
lows and that blonde-headed girl,
well, I just had to hold old “Brer”
Shook on the bench with one hand
and Buck Marshall with the other
one. They both had “steppin’ ” in
their system and I was awfully scar-
ed they both were going to lose their
meetin’ house reputation. Brer
Shook just had to yell out occasion-
ally: “Swing!” and Buck rose up
several times and told the assembly
some things.
When Sam Winniford gets his
head a-droppin’, both feet a-pattin,’
his shirt a-latherin’ with plain old
honest-to-goodness sweat—boy! how-
dy. He’s simply the outfiddlinist bil-
ly-hiller that ever pulled a bow over
a tom cat’s intestines. He’s a wam-
pus—no mistake about that. All of
them are good but that long-legged
Samuel—he’s IT.
I have named the blonde young
lady that plays with them. What
Sam can do with his fiddle, that little
lady can do on a “peanner” and alscy
like Sam, when she gets all warmed
up—well, I looked for her to knock
some of the keys off that music box
before her. In dead earnest, she is by
far the best I have ever heard as an
accompanist for old-time music. Just
knocks “sugar in the goard” on all

the old-time tunes. When she can
hold in no longer, she breaks out and
sings. When she gets tired of that,
she whistles. It’s done in real artistic
style, too. She has as sweet a voice
as I have ever heard and her whist-
ling can’t be beat. I’d drive 80 miles
again, any time, to hear them play
an afternoon “stretch” of those old
.tunes that, to me, is the only real
music there is.
Before starting for home, Wed-
nesday, I spent several hours in driv-
ing around over the old town and
once more reviewing old scenes and
recalling old incidents. '
Out at the carnival grounds I saw
a girl, high up on a trapeze, swing-
ing by her toes. I couldn’t refrain a
chuckle all to myself. Just about fif-
ty years ago a bunch of us kids used
to have a show ground, practically
on the identical spot where this girl
now dangled. We used to stretch a
rope between the trees out there and
practice walking it with a balance
pole in our hands. We had up an act-
ing bar and well do I recall about
the first time I tried to hang on by
my toes, just as that girl was doing,
when all of a sudden my toes slipped
off and I liked to have broke my
neck. There was no net under me,
as she had. The ground served as
such.
I drove out to the old farm and
visited Col. B. M. Camp. Poor old
fellow. His days are fast growing to
an end.
Together with my aunt, Mrs. W.
B. Loving, we visited the old home-
site.
I did not know my old friend, Mrs.
J. B. Hinnant, had passed to her re-
ward' until I visited the girls at their
home.
The town nor the reunion did not
seem natural with Presley McCoats
not there to greet us. I likewise did
not know he had died.
I enjoyed the trip. I may possib-
ly never make another. Soon we all
will be called to that great reunion.
I am trusting that I then shall meet
all my old time friends and acquaint-
ances in that land where there is no
trouble, no pain.

Chicago, Aug. 5.—Mrs. Spencer,
49, of Little Rock, Ark., told police
Sunday ,she had been kidnaped from
a street corner there by three men
Friday afternoon, driven to Chicago
and ejected from their automobile
here Saturday night.
Mrs. Spencer, who said she was
an investigator, told police the trio
forced her into their car at Second
Street and Cumberlaind Avenue in
the Arkansas city. She was kept
blindfolded and gagged part of the
time. The men, she added, stopped
Friday night at a tourist camp near
Kankakee, 111., and resumed their
journey here Saturday. Two of the
men attacked her, Mrs. Spencer
said.
Mother of a daughter, 23, Mrs.
Spencer said she recognized one of
her kidnapers as an ex-convict she
had seen in Little Rock courts.
Mrs. Spencer said she used the
name of “Lamb” in her work as an
investigator. Her kidnapers, she
told police, were middle-aged.
ANOTHER NEGRO
IS LYNCHED
IN 1ISSISSIPP
Pittsboro, Miss., Aug. 5.—Bodie
Bates, Negro, accused of atttempting
to attack a 20-year-old white woman
here 'Saturday night, was lynched by
a mob last night. The mob, compris-
ed of white citizens, formed after
the Negro was arrested and overpow-
ered an officer at the jail.
Bates was taken to a sparsely set-
tled section of Calhoun County and
hanged from a bridge over Yalobusha
River where officers found the body
today.

and four-year-old Hereford and
Bramah steers to W. 0. Ray of
Ravia, Oklahoma, Tuesday night,.
The Herefords averaged 860 pounds

THE HOPKINS COUNTY ECHO
IN MEMORY OF
During her earthly toil, July 26,
the grim reaper reached out without
warning and snatched the precious
life of Mrs. John F. Bullard away.
A precious jewel is gone. She is not
only missed by her family, but how
sadly the neighbors miss her win-
some smile and cheery greetings. Her
life was truly one of labor and sac-
rifice, for she surely lived for oth-
ers.
May her companion, children and
grandchildren take her life as an ex-
ample of ; noble traits.
Even though her body was never
free of pain, she never lost interest
in her precious grandchildren, whom
she was rearing (since their own
mother had crossed the great divide)
and was always planning and look-
ing forward to their future. ' She
never failed to teach them God’s
truths and the right way of living.
Rest on, dear Mother and friend,
till we meet around God’s great
white throne.

IN MEMORY OF
W. I, WALLACE
Ice Wallace was born at Lone Oak,
.Hunt County, Texas, Nov. 13, 1876.
He came to Weaver, Hopkins Coun-
ty, in Oct. of 1894 to live with his
brother Joe Wallace. On May 10,
1895, he was married to Josie Rob-
ertson, at Point, Rains County, Tex-
as. To this union two children were
born. One died in infancy. Clemmie
was three and one-half years old; she
died Dec. 10, 1901.
He made his home at Weaver. He
was a good, kind, loving and noble
msband. He fathered sixteen orphan
children, all of whom loved him. He
was called “Uncle Ice,” “Daddy”
and “Granddad” by them. Not one
of them ever asked him for any-
thing he did not grant freely. He was
a good citizen, neighbor and friend
to everyone. He will be sadly missed.
He always offered a helping hand to
the needy and fed the hungry.
He leaves a dear wife and one
brother to mourn for him. He died
July 18, 1935, and was laid to rest
by the side of his little daughter,
Clemmie, in Weaver Cemetery.
Written by one who loved him and
will cherish his memory.

Providence, R. I., Aug. 7.—Rhode
Island’s First Congressional District
today turned its back on the New
Deal, electing a Republican to the
National House of Representatives.
Complete returns from all voting
districts gave Charles F. Risk, who
campaigned to “repudiate the Ad-
ministration’s acts,” had 12,969 ma-
jority over Antonio Prince, Demo-
crat.
In the last regular election the
Democrats won in the district by
21,000 plurality. The district em-
braces the bulk of the state’s cotton
mills.
Providence, R. I., Aug. 7.—“The
loss of a Representative in the Na-
tional Congress faced the Democra-
tic Party Tuesday night as Charles
F. Risk, Republican, slowly increas-
ed an early lead over Antonio Prince,
Democrat, in Tuesday’s special Con-
gressional election, which constitut-
ed the first big test of the Roose-
veltian policies in 1935.
With 60 of the districts, 112 vot-
ing districts in, Risk held lead of
21,159 to Prince 16,375. These fig-
ures included the vote of five dis-
tricts in the city of Providence,
where Risk received 989 votes to
424 for Prince, whereas a year ago
the Republican candidate was given
a lead of but 220 votes in the same
group of districts.

New York.—The metropolis will
use 2,000,000 black cats during the
next few weeks to caution pedes
trians that only bad luck awaits the
jaywalker.
These omens of ill are pictured on
stickers to be widely distributed
throughout the city. The labels por-
tray black cats perched on back
fences, silhouetted by a rising moon
and voicing this warning:
“Watch your step as I watch mine
—you have one life, I have nine.”
Toll Reduced Slightly.
Statistics for the first half of 1935
show that 15,000 persons have been
killed and 300,000 injured in motor
car accidents. This figure is 2 per
cent less than in the same period
last year. The' decrease in fatalities
in New York City is attributed to an
intensive safety campaign of the po-
lice department, aided by civic or-
ganizations.
The “black cat” labels will be
supplemented by 2,000,000 books of
safety matches. Even if the super-
stitious avoid haying a million or two
black cats figuratively cross their
paths, it is argued that at least one
is certain to appear when a cigaret
is lighted.
Antidotes May Be Needed.
A run is expected on Harlem’s
supply of “left rabbit’s feet, cured
during the perigee moon,” to serve
as antidotes for the black cats dur-
ing the campaign.
The warning stickers will be dis-
tributed by the city motor vehicle
bureau, the police department and
owners of large fleets of trucks and
taxicabs. Caution notices, signed
by Police Commissioner Lewis J.
Valentine, have been displayed pro-
minently recently throughout the
city’s vast transportation system.
One of the appeals is directed to
persons past 40, warning them to be
more cautious because their reac-
tions are not as swift as those of
younger persons. These public no-
tices aroused some mildly sarcastic
remarks from persons just turning
the two score mark.
Eight “Don’ts” Listed.
The police department has issued
eight “Don’ts“ for motor vehicle
drivers. The campaign thus includes
the man in the street as well as the
man on wheels. They are:
1. Drive carefully for your safety
and the lives and safety of others.
2. Slow down at street crossings.
3. Obey traffic signal lights.
4. Give the vehicle on your right
the right of way.
5. Give pedestrians the right to
cross.
6. Immediately pull car to right
curb at sound of siren or bell, to
give the right of way to ambulances,
police cars and fire apparatus.
7. Saving lives and protecting your
property is their job. Help them to
help you.
8. If you see a crime committed
or need assistance, telephone Police
Headquarters at once.
Special emphasis is placed on the
safety of children in the campaign.

EVANGELIST SAYS
TOUGH FOB REVIVAL
Holdenville, Okla., Aug. 3.—Pate,
evangelist, went to the Oak Dale
School house community south of
here to uplift it, but after seeing a
fatal shooting at the very edge of
the arbor where he was holding forth
he has preached his last sermon in
Oak Dale.
“It’s too tough, even for a re-
vival,” said Evangelist Pate.
No charge had been filed Friday
in the death of Stratton, 3'5-year-old
farmer of Oak Dale, who fell with
a mortal chest wound Thursday night
as three shots blazed suddenly out
of the night and threw the worship-
pers into near panic.
A neighbor farmer, 22, was held
in the Hughes County jail. Sheriff
Bail quoted the farmer as saying he
shot Stratton.
As he set out upon his investiga-
tion Sheriff Ball remarked that
there seemed to be a “reign of ter-
ror” around Oak Dale and that “no
one had the nerve” to take a dep-
uty’s badge and preserve order, but
tonight he had softened and revised
his estimate.
“They’re fine folks,” he said.
“Just a bunch of boys that like to
fight, carry dice and wear spurs.
They get around those little old
dances and sometimes there is trou-
ble. But they’re good people.
“Still,” he reminded, “it’s plen-
ty tough down there.”
The sheriff said he had heard
some residents were afraid to leave
their homes after dark, lest some-
body set fire to their places.

Baltimore, Md., Aug. 5.—There
can be no names in this story, be-
cause a mother might he upset and
a nurse might lose her job, but
what happened was this:
A child was born to Mrs. X and
an interne told the nervous father
that it was a girl.
In two weeks the mother was able
to leave the hospital with the child,
which she tucked happily away in
the nursery.
A few hours later the father
learned to his dismay that the baby
was not a girl, as he had been told,
but a boy. Attached to the little
wrist was an identification tag,
showing the child belonged to an-
other couple.
Unwilling to alarm his wife, he
slipped .the child from the crib, re-
turned to the hospital, got his own
child—a girl for sure this time—re-
turned home and placed the infant
in the crib.
He strolled nonchalantly out to
greet his wife. s
“John,” she said, “we’ve got the
best baby—not a whimper from her
all the time you were gone.”

Washington, Aug. 4.—The Agri-

Saturday that the situation caused
by the Bankhead Cotton Act injunc-

of the nation’s cotton crop still is
tied up in court order tangles.
The telegram followed a telephone
inquiry from Washington. Reports

The instructions were issued to

THE COMING PROHI-
BITIQN ELECTION,
BY OR, H. R. LONG
My good friend, Dr. J. Sam Bar-
cus, has been giving us some good
articles lately on the prohibition
question. I want to endorse all he
has said. The public may not know,
but Dr. Barcus was asked by the
committee to be the spokesman
through the press for us all.
I stand ready to go anywhere to
speak when needed. It is no time to
rest on our oars. Let us all do our
best. We have a good chance to win
in the State, then there is a good ad-
vantage in keeping Hopkins County
dry.
The large crowd which attended
the Old Settlers picnic last week,
with so few (indeed if any) drunk
certainly proves the work of a dry
county. H. R. LONG.
