It was two or three minutes before the old
going. But in this business the man who flukes
once can never, never get another opportunity."
As the writer left the station that day he
saw Hawkins down at the water’s edge looking
out where the buoy bobbed in the bright sunshin
as it rode the blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
We believe there is a sermon in the story and
therefore we have told it.

The station and the men who manned it had a
fascination and frequent visits and talks with the
bronzed seamen lent even more interest. After
a number of visits and noticing a man who did
not wear the uniform always somewhere around
the station the question was asked of the captain
in charge as to who this man was and why his
presence there. This is the story as the old cap-
tain told it:
"Well, sir, that is Hawkins. You are a
stranger in this place or it would not be neces-
sary to tell you who he is. Years ago he was a
member of the life saving crew here and he was
looked upon as one of our best men. In all our
practice maneuvers there was no one stronger or

this point and the coast signal service had warned
us that a schooner with a crew of 24 men would
likely seek our port for safety and to be ready
to extend help when it attempted to come
through the narrow port channel. We were on
the alert and had everything in readiness should
our help be needed.
“I was not the captain at that time but was
assigned as oarsman just opposite Hawkins in
the life boat. The storm struck almost instantly
and the great waves lashed the gulf into a fury
almost as quickly as I am telling you about it.
It was late in the afternoon and we peered out
through the storm with our glasses to see if some
unfortunate vessel would try to make port. But
we could see nothing but great mountains of
water rolling and tumbling and foaming. Night
drew on but still no vesel was seen and no signal
of distress came.
“We all with much anxiety watched the com-
ing of the blackness of that night. The bravest
of us shuddered at the thought of having to
make a trip in the life boat in such a sea and
each man became silent and thought of home and
loved ones there. We knew the old captain so
well that we had no doubts of what his action
would be should a vessel in distress signal from
out the darkness. His motto had been always
this: ‘Boys, we must go, we don’t have to come
back.’ No one of us had ever seen a sea like the
one that night.
“It was nearly midnight when the signal
came. Through the darkness and rain far out at
the entrance to the channel we saw the rockets
calling for help. In an instant the captain gave
the orders to man the life boat and in order to
get to sea it was necessary for us to ride one of
the receding waves. With a great rush we made
the attempt with orders from the captain to keep
the boat straight and steady and cu through the
waves. Under no circumstances must we allow
the boat straight and steady and cut through the
must pull steady and true. We had not gone
two hundred feet before the boat swerved on the
side where Hawkins pulled and a great wave
threw us back on the beach. Above the roar of
the storm the captain swore and ordered another
trial. This time we went farther out, but again
the boat turned its side to the wave and again
we were thrown on the shore. The captain was ,
furious and he rained oath upon oath as he again
ordered to sea. The boat struck the waves, cut- i
ting them in two as though it were a knife. Out ।
we went and still the rockets went up from the ,
vessel out there in the darkness. She had evi- ,

‘ Beaman spoke again. Hawkins came slinking by
as we stood there looking far out to where the
buoy floated. Looking at the unfortunate man
more in pity than anger the captain went on:

Yes, the editor of The News guessed 2,000 too
much on the population of Marshall. And a few
months ago this same editor guessed his bank
account was bigger than the banker said it was.
But he had to take the banker’s word for it, just
as he now accepts Uncle Sam’s word on the cen-
sus. What he would like to know is how are you
going to do the job any better. The enumerators
did their best, the Chamber of Commerce and Ro-
tary club hired men, white and black, to scour
the cty for those who had been missed. Both
papers were pleading every day that the names
of missing ones be sent in. What more can we
do if we get a recount? Does anyone know of
any one whose name was not taken in the Jan-
uary census? Give us something tangible. We
all wish we had shown a larger population but

in Marshall you should get up some morning and
see the number who come in fromh the country in
autos, and buggies and on bicycles. There are at
least a thousand people living outside the cor-
poration whose wage earners work in Marshall.
Probably the enumerators missed a few but The
Morning News was mighty closely in touch with
the situation at the time the census was taken
and we believe there were as few names left off
as we could expect from a new enumeration. We
believe the ladies got on their metal because of
the criticism that was being directed towards
them and the result was a very thorough job.
There will be few cities outside of the oil sections
that will make as good a showing as Marshall
has.
almost in sight, Hawkins fluked. He failed to

wave caught us broadside and in a moment we

"And stranger, twenty-four men died that
, night because one man fluked. Sixteen others of
us were doing our best, ready to die if need be,
but the head oarsman opposite me lost heart, he
lesened his pull on the oar and all was lost.
“He was discharged from the service and it
was with great difficulty we saved his life that
night from the enraged captain. That has been
many years ago. He and I were young men then,
about the same age. You would think to look at
him that he was 20 years older than I am. He ■

McAdoo continues to be the leading candidate
for the Democratic nomination for President.
McAdoo did the things that had to be done
during the war and, because of some of these
things, there is a disposition to hold him respon-
sible for some of the troubles we are now up
against. We spent $20,000,000,000 in the war
and borrowed most of the money. McAdoo as
our agent borrowed this money but we have it
to pay back. The only way to do it is by taxation.
McAdoo is not to blame for this. We all wanted
to lick the kaiser and we didn’t give a darn at
that time what it cost us. It may be there are
some inequalities in the way we are collecting
this tax money but so far the complaints seem to
come mostly from persons whose incomes are of
more than $20,000 per year.
McAdoo did more for labor than any other
ten men have ever done. Labor naturally there-
fore leans towards the Ex-Secretary. Big busi-
ness is not so friendly. Apparently the farmers
must be looking favorably on his candidacy as
his greatest strength is coming from the great
agricultural states. The President’s son-in-law
would make a strong man in the White House.
