Let's Return the West Side
Citizens Their Own Park
By Barnes H. Bi'oiles
The blank line has been filled in.
A few days ago the city commission
voted to lease to ten prominent Mexia
sportsmen the large lake of water situated
in the brick yard property. The names of
the sportsmen were recorded, and the lease
was for one year, the fishermen to give .
bond to the city. But there was a blank
line. It was the price on the fishing rights
for one year. Now the line has been filled
in. It is $10. Ten dollars; or one dollar each
for the sportsmen.
For years this brickyard tank has been
the fishing pool, the recreational center and
the playground of the colored population of
Mexia. This large space where clay has been
taken out for making brick has filled up
with water, and fish have filled the place,
making fair fishing. Recently the city pur-
chased the property as a future dumping
grounds, and appropriated one of the small-
er pools for that purpose. Surveys are made,
fences constructed and the grounds carefully
guarded. The pool, . only place the poor
negroes of the west side black belt had as
their own, is taken from them' for $10 and
made the exclusive- property, the closed cor-
poration, the right or ten individuals of
Mexia only.
When news of the leasing Came out it
was commonly suepoued that the city had
made a big deal. It had profited materially
in selling fishing lights to wealthy sports-
men who could well afford- to join in an ex-
clusive club from . which - aft common people
would be barred. No longer would these
fishe.men be bothered with the crude fish-
ing polos and the sweat-_of -w<M'kshirt3 about
them. They could enjoy their.fishing with
the Knowledge that theirs is fhe most sel-
ect country club in-4he vicinity* Doesn't the
country club have nearly-ten times as many .
members as the fishing club?
The leasing was ntft open to the highest
bidder. This writer would have-gladly raised .
$25 or even $50 and paid-it for the rights !
to fish in the tank, $$kl then would have
thrown it open to all, wfcite artS^black" alike,,
for the enjoyment oi-aii who-like to- sit in
the sun, meditate oh the d~emocracy£of the y
age, spit tobacco juice in the. water and
hope against hope that one of these days
a three or four inch.perch will nibble on the.
line. Folks don't fish for .'ish, they fish for
enjoyment. The people<>f that section of-
tbwn got lots of enjoyment and few fish -
from the pool. But they are now denied the
rights, sold to ten of the town's sportsmen.
Now we are not making any fight on
the city commission. It is a mere co-inci-;
dent that there have been two occasions for
criticism this week. Isn't Mayor J. Sandford
Smith the largest stockholder in this news-
paper, and a man in whom the common peo-
ple, have their greatest ally; isn't Howard
Mace, city manager, our very close friend
and neighbor, a man who in our opinion is
"going somewhere" as a eity -manager for
he is efficient, honest and capable; didn't
we personally solicit Val Hqrri and E. B,
Mosley to seek the office of commissoifler
and file their names on the ticket original-
ly? Heavens, no. Not a personal fight. We'd
fight anybody that says anything against
any of them personally. But they just made
a mistake, and we insist that the city attor-
ney find some legal way to undo the wrong,
return the city property to the people.
We'll pay $10 personally to start the
subscription to repay the city for the fish-
ing rights and try to raise $50 for the pri-
vilege—providing the city's' property is
turned over to the people who own it—the
citizens of Mexia. Let it forever be said
thai Mexia is the home of common people,
who welcome all and who reverence the
rights, of the most, humble citizen just as
much as that of the most prominent.

Tornadoes, f loods
Hit Texas Towns
++♦ + *
(By United Press)
Two persons were killed, scores injured and hundreds of
persons were made homeless today as a series of tornadoes
and cloudbursts ripped freaekishly through widely scattered
communities in Texas.
Rains drenched the state from the Panhandle to the
Gulf and from the Red River to the Rio Grande. After the
wind passed, floods from rising streams threatened to cause
even more damage than had the tornadoes.
Two persons were killed and 88 others injured in south-
east Texas, when a tornado struck the Weches community
near Crockett, at noon. .
Three persons were injured seriously and several oth-
ers suffered minor hurts when a tornado ripped through
Riverside, residential district of Fort Worth, at daybreak.
Scores of homes in the western section of Luling, in
South Texas, were damaged by a wind and rain storm which
struck there shortly before dawn.
, A tornado at Hearne, on the South Texas coastal plain,
hurt one negro seriously and several other persons suffered
minor hurts.
Another tornado at Teague, in eastern central Texaa>
injured one man probably fatally, hurt numerous others
less seriously and wreaked damage estimated at $100,000.

Benefit Dance
at Country Club
One of the first official acts of
the newly appointed entertainment
committee, Mexia Country Club, is
announcement of a benefit dance
to be held at the club house on
Thursday night, May 80, memorial
night.
The committee composed of L.
H. Simpson, W. K. Boyd and C. A.
Nussbaum, are working on the de-
tails, which will include a ticket
drive, possibly by the ladies, in an
effort to raise funds which will de-
fray expense of painting the in-
terior of the club house.
Golfers have in the past raised
funds to purchase equipment for
the grounds, such as mowing ma-
chines etc., without disturbing the
general fund of the club, and this
benefit dance is expected to draw
a large crowd of dancers as well
as those who desire to have part in
the raising of funds to beautify the
club house,

WASHINGTON, May 17 (By Ail
Mail) — The farmers march on
Washington is now nearing the
end. Trains are leaving for the dif-
ferent states tonight and will con-
tinue to take the plow boys back to
their homes tomorrow. By Friday
morning this farm congress will be
history.
It i not easy to tell whether it
was wise or not .It will take time
to properly get th# matters in its
true light. Certain it iit the first
time in history farmers have come
from all parts of a nation to'hold
a meeting like the one just held.
Today while the boys were see-
ing the sights of their nation's
capital, Eastern senators were de-
nouncing the president for his
speech, arid trying to link the mon-
ey the farm boys spent on this
trip up with the Tripl# A official
"set up". I was present when it
was stated the farmers had been
paid for doing nothing— and de-
manded that Wallace give account
of how the expense was met.
The people in Limestone county
know how the money was gotten
up for my trip —so I did not wor-
ry.
Senator Connally made a real
speech in defense of the farmers.
In fact it was easy to make a
speech defending them when you
hear them denounced by the hench-
men of the big monied interests.
They could not be expected to be
for the farmers —they never were.
It is certain that the New Deal
did not finance the trip. The peo-
ple did that. It is certain that
county Triple A organizations did
not act as a stimulater and collec-
tor for the movement.
Of those things I am not con-
cerned. I came to plead the cause
of the tenant farmer and small
home-owner. I knew I had no
have met issue upon which the
farmers were divided. Papers
would have used the story to front
page importance. Enemies of the
farmers would have used it to fight
back at the future farm program.
. I have cut loose from the crowd
and contacted those 1 am certain
will make your farm plans for
the next five years. The adminis-
trator, Mr. Chester Davis, was
most kind in hearing my plea. 1
later. I believe he is working for
have his assurance that he will
se d me a statement on the matter
chance to get action through the
convention. It would have been dis-
astrous to the farmers cause to
the good of the farmer.
Mr. Davis personally gave me an
introduction to Mr. Cobb the cotton
chief. On tomorrow Limestone
county boys confer with him. I
shall plead our cause with him at
that time.
Through the kindness of our
congressman Luther Johnson we
secured an appointment with Sec-
retary Wallace upon whose should-
ers rest the responsibility of the
present farm program and who will
be the guiding mind behind any
future program. I am humble in
making this statement — I want
you to know it is not for the pur-
pose of boasting I tell it. A private
interview with Wallace is next on-
ly to seeing Roosevelt. ,
I am happy to say Mr, Wallace
tells you how he stands without
mincing ^ords. Dr. Moore plead
in a word the views of land own-
ers regarding division of rental
payment between landlord and the
tenant Mr. Wallace said simply—
"But Doctor the landowners are
faring better under the contarcts
than the tenants." Mr. Lewis said:
"But Mr. Secre'-ry, surely this is
not true in the * Jtlon section."
Mr. Wallace replied, "Yes in the
cotton section the landowner has
fared better than the tenant under
the contract."
At this point I told him the ten-
ants asked only an even chance—
and as I shook hands with him 1
felt he meant what he said. He
is the friend of the under-dog —
and not just a politician.
It would have been easy for him
to have told Dr. Moore he agreed
with him. It 1b a long way to Tex-
as and it would have been easy for
him to dodge the question —But
he did not. He spoke from his heart
what he honestly believed.
Now at this point I want to
make clear I am not reporting this
interview to embarrass Dr. Moore
oj- Mr. Lewis. They have been my
constant companions for the past
several days. There are no better
men any where. I do not report it
to make a fight upon the landlord.
I report it like it was said. I
want the tenants to know that up
here right next to our president'is
a man who will take their part.
I am sure in any future farm
program the tenant and landown-
er will share as partners in busi-
ness. I ani glad to say Mr. Wallace
is for the tenant home owners bill
him on behalf of the tenant farm-
ers for backing this measure.
Mr. Lewis, Dr. Moore and myself
came away feeling humbled that
we were able to converse with this
most able man in the Roosevelt
administration.

bunch, of boosters up here. They
came on another train, and I did
not get to know them until we
