Early Days Of Texas
Fame of the Republic of Texas
spread rapidly after the fall of
the Mexican dominance, and it was
not many years after independence
was declared that agents from
Texas, as chronicled by Ikin, Tex-
ian consul from England, was as
follows:

Some years ago science discovered that
cleanliness is the enemy of infection and
disease. And every well-informed person
today knows that thorough cleanliness is
only possible through frequent and abun-
dant use of hot water and soap.
Modern living makes big demands on
the hot wgter supply. Showers, children's
baths, frequent washing of little hands to
guard against deadly infection, beauty
baths, and the daily rinsing of dainties
or children's garments are a few of the
demands for hot water set up by modern
living. Add shaving, cooking, dishwash-
ing and you have an average of

The volume was published in
London by Sherwood, Gilbert and
Piper, Paternoster Row, in 1841,
and bore on its frontispiece a j
sketch of the Alamo.
Despite the fact that he had
been in Texas only a short while,
Ikin accumulated a vast amount of
date on the history of the new Re-
public, its physical characteristics
and its opportunities to the immi-
grant settlers. His account is en-
livened with bits of poetry, with
anecdotes, with tales of Indian
Encounters.

intruders; and in 1690 the Span-
iards made their first permanent
settlement in Texas, which was the
'mission' or monastic establish-
ment of San Francisco. Several
other missions were soon after
raised, three or four of which, hol-
ding out to settlers the protection,
of a fort, as well as a benefit of
a church, became the nuceli around

and considerable towns.

the Comanche was very good).
"The trade of the country was
entirely limited to the driving of
some cattle and horses into the
neighbouring provinces. The soil
was interdicted to foreigners, and
the numerous harbours and inlets
of the coast were the resort only
of the daring pirates of the Gulf
and Spanish main, almost the last
of whom, the celebrated Lafitte
maintained his headquarters on
Galveston Island until 1814.
"A different state of things was
first prognosticated by the saga-
cious Humboldt, who, early in the
present century, foresaw the fu-
ture importance of the country,
founded on its natural resources,
its admirable commercial position,
and, above all, its contiguity to
the United States".

A Word To The Farm-
ers Of Fayette Co.
The Supreme Court has destroy-
ed the one real program the
farmers ever had. Are we going
to take it lying down? Are we go-
ing to tolerate industrial tariff
protection without any protection
to Agrciulture? If we do prices of
farm products will gradually go
back to those of 1932 and possibly
lower. We cannot expect the gov-
ernment to supply another pro-
gram without our help. Out of the
ruins of the A. A. A., a new pro-
gram to give we farmers some pro-
tection will be built if we demand
it. Members of our Agricultural
Association sent telegrams from
La Grange to a number of officials,
Senators and Representatives at
Washington on January 8, urging
them to protect our interests. Seve-
ral of them have replied to these
telegrams pledging their support
and expressing their appreciation
of our efforts. Here is what all
of us must do: First, pay our poll
tax by January 31, so we will be
qualified to vote next summer,' and
tell the world that we will sup-
port none but such candidates who
will pledge themselves to a con-
structive farm program; Second:
We must contribute toward pay-
ing the expenses our State Com-
mittee has in this fight. You may
hand it to the local Chairman of
your Comrtiunity Ass'n., or to Mr.
Wm. Brendel, Rutersville, Texas,
who is treasurer of the County
Agricultural Ass'n. Third: We
should defend President Roose-
velt against those who are making
unfair and fraudulent attacks as
well as those who are spreading
deceptive statements against him.
I have in mind such propaganda
as the recent Literary Digest Poll
of which the opponents of the
Roosevelt Administration are
making great capitals.
In the "Digest Poll'- the question
asked was: " Do you now approve
of the acts and policies of the
Roosevelt New Deal to date?" In
other words, " Do you approve of
all the acts and policies of the
Roosevelt Administration from the
time of his inauguration nearly
three years ago?" What reason-
able person will agree that he ap-
proves all the acts and policies
of anyone on a consecutive stretch
of three years? The simple fact is
that the question is founded on de-
ception and fraud and so worded as
eeption and 1'arud an so worded as
to get an unfair and fraudulent
answer from the people to the
view that the majority of the peo-
ple no longer support the Presi-
ent. A more fair poll is being con-
ducted by the Liberty Magazine,
where the question submitted is
ih substance "For whom will you
vote this year for president ? In
this poll President Roosevelt is
leading 2 to lall others combined.
The President himself said that
gome of his proposals were to an
extend experimental, and if they
did not work they could and would (
be changed. In my opinion he is
the greatest President the Ameri-
can Republic has ever had. Since
the time of Thomas Jefferson, he
is the only president who has made
an earnest attempt to improve the
conditions of those who have little
voice in our Government, the farm-
er. President Roosevelt by the in-
crease in corporation income taxes
and the increase of the rates of
the income taxes of the wealthy in-
dividuals has created an ill favor
and enmity to the lai-ge industrial
interests and they are trying to
destroy him. He has done this to
help the middle class throughout
the nation and to prevent starva-
tion in the poorer classes. For his
courage in this and many other
similiar instances, he will have my
individual support' and gratitude
and I believe that he will have
your support, if you are properly
informed.

In Memoriam
::The peculiar advantages of po-
siton, and the large productive
capabilities with which nature has
endowed the second Anglo-Ame-
rican Republic, are, since the re-
cognition of that Republic by
Great Britian, becoming matter of
so much interest, that it is pre-
sumed any correct information re-
specting this country cannot fail
to be acceptable. Such information
has, however, been already most
for more than a century, little oc-
cured to disturb them, save the
molestation of the Indians, who, in-
vited by the champaign character
of the country, soon became ex-
pert horsemen, frequently robbed
and murdered the Spanish mule-
teers, and sometimes even attack-
ed the settlements.

ways been represented as peculi-
arly savage and treacherous, ad-
In memory of Mrs. Louise Sey-

ago:
God rest her! Let these words be
said
Above a heart forspent with sor-
row
To find with each succeeding mor-

Her fairest hopeb stiii-born anu
dead.
God rest her! Draw the eyelids
down—
Tears nevermore shall mar their
lashes,
Nor down a cheek as white as
ashes
Flow for a grief they could not
drown.
God rest her! Rest her weary lips
That smiled when they were fain
for weeping,
That smile not, now that she is
sleeping.
And her pent up soul its prison
slips.
God rest her! Fold the empty
hands
That emptiest were when filled
with labor,
Herself denied, she gave her neigh-
bor
The care each heart and house
demands.
God rest her! Oh, she tried, she
tried
With valiant heart to hide her
yearning
Lest any feel its blight discerning,
The shadow ever by her side.
God rest her. Bring her roses now
Who living knew but rue and
willow—
Bring roses now to her pillow,
And bind heart's ease upon her
brow.
God rest her! May her sleep be
blest
Who asked at last but sleep un-
shaken,
Too tired now to care to waken
Even for joy—Goa grant her
rest! —Her Children.

Literary Club
The Literary Club met at the
home of Mrs. Jimmie Jones on
Tuesday, January 14, at which
time two new members were en-
rolled. They were Mrs. Bennack and
Mrs. George Duncan.
"Southern Fiction—Concerning
the Negro in South Carolina", was
the topic for the afternoon. Mrs.
Julia Peterkin's book: "Black
April", was reviewed very ably by
Mrs. H. N. Schwartz and Mrs.
Francis Scott gave a descriptive
reading taken from E. C. L.
Adams "Congaree Sketches". Mrs.
Julius Schwartz gave a * brief
imaginary tour through South
Carolina and Mrs. E. A. Bosl
concluled the program with an in-
teresting paper on "The Southern
Press". With her report she had
two newspapers dated 1800 and
1863 which proved to be of much
interest to the members as one
concerned the death of General
George Washington, and the other
newspaper was printed on wall
paper, as papers were printed in
years gone by.
Mrs. Oscar Brown will be host-
ess. to the club on January 28th.,
at which time Kentucky and Ten-
nesee authors and their fiction
will be discussed. Cont.
