THE WORLD IS NOT BIG ENOUGH
Wrtttmm fr rhm Wstohm.vw »y WM4W/AM
Did you ever think of it The i
world is not big enough. In some:
respects it is not A man must
be absolutely a Robinson Crusoe
for the world to be big enough j
these days. When the battle of
Manila was fought Dewey wasi
the only chieftain, and the
glory was all his own. At San -!
tiago Sampson and Schley were
both commanders of vessels, nnd
when the victory had been won
the great deep sea was not big
enough for two men to reap
glory from, and the American
Navy was at once plunged into
a hurricane of violent jealousv
and strife because of the divid-
ing of honors.
The world has again cn-
tangled—itself—m—a most—dis-
graceful episode over the dis-
covery of the north rpole, and
finds itself too small to hold
Captain Peary and Dr. Cook to-
gether in peace. Only two men
claim to have ever put foot on
the north pole, and yet Peary
would destroy and completely
annihilate Dr. Cook because Cook
was first to get there. The world
is not big enough.
Envy and Jealousy want the
earth, and then want a fence all
around it. We have many great
men in* America, and a few in
these United States; but when
some little fellow looms up a
little brighter than some of his
comrades, we see that the world
should have been made a little
larger.
There now is blowing a terrific
political hurricane in Texas at
the rate of eighty miles an hour,
and our own Texas is stirred
from the rock-ribbed hanks of
of the Rio Grande to the cane-
brakes of the historic Sabine,
and the eloquence of William
Jennings Bryan and Joseph W.
Bailey is heard resounding from
the plains of the West to ih*?
so, and the Hon. John Henry)
says “it hurts.” and has been
hollowing at Bryan to get off
and let his corns alone.
We would express our heart-!
felt sympathy for this big lum-
ber concern, but the Carthage
City Band is now playing Dixie
while we are writing and we
cannot sympathize with anybody
but the “old rebel.” Bryan and
Bailey are both great men and
have done great good, but blind
jealousy now takes charge of
them, and we fear they are go-
ing to undo thei’ greatness in
their efforts to fell the other.
We do not believe there is a
greater man than Bryan or Bai-
ley anywhere between the head-
waters of Murvaut and the canc-
portionof our city; on the west
side of the public square we see
the beautiful press brick building
r f P. E. Trabue, the Merchants’
& Farmers’ Bank building, the
Post Office building, which would
be ornaments to any city of 8,-
OOt) or 10,000 people. At the
S. W. Corner of the public square
stands the First National Bank
building, which, with its fix-
tures, its cashier, its assistant
cashier, bookkeepers, teller
and office force, would make
proud a city of 10,000 people.
Adjoining this building is the
Burton building, then the Butler
building, theifethe Odd Fellows
building, all beautiful and sub-
stantial two story bricks, hand-
somely adorning the square;while
on the north side is the beauti-
ful buildings of J. R. Jones &
and Sons, Alonzo Walker, W. A.
property. These industries in
Carthage are home institutions,
built up and maintained by home
capital, and run by home people,
who have an abiding interest in
our town and county, and who
pay taxes to the county to sup-
port our county government.
These people are identified with
ut—they are a part of un; blood
of our blood, bone our bone and
flesh of our flesh,and inseparable
from our common interests. The
Oil Mill is run and managed, op-
erated and financed by such men
ae Col. A. C. Boynton, its pr* «i-
dent, A. H. Baker, P. W. Baker,
J. C. Whitney, J. W. Cooke, and
others of our beBt and most sub-
stantial citizens.
The Oil Mill has already been
of great weight and value to our
farmers this season; farmers are
getting more for their ootton seed
Jones, and th# old Coma build.
pines of the East, and the re-
echoing of their voices is floating
in rapturous cadence down the
far-famed valley of the Spcagee,
lining up their true and trusted
followers for a conflict that will
be fraught with evil for many
years to come.
The world is not big enough
for both Bryan and Bailey; there
is now a rivalry between them,
and a desperate struggle is be-
ing waged for leadership. Bryan
ha? just -Mnped on the com.* of
the Hon. Johr II. Kirby Lumber
brakes of East Socagee; yet we! «nK'and on the east is a solid
believe that Panola’s Statesman, Iwal,of brick* while Jerusalem

li ard down common gense than I ^ant brick structure of Lloyd

not be going over the country
butting out his brains against a
fellow who is not after his job.
There are a whole lot of things
that make us think that the world
is not big enough. There are
some people in this world who
try to rule or ruin; and hence
start up a little clyclone of their
own, which generally leaves de-
struction in its path. What puz-
zles us is why two men can't get
along in this wide world, side by
side, without having to stir up
the entire neighborhood over
their Saturday evening dog fight.
Just take our beautifiul Car-
thage for an example. Carthage,
the Queen City of the Pines! A
little city filled with good people.
Yet these good people are not
freed from the poisonous leprosy
of envy and jealousy: Some lit-
tle hurricane is always blowing
over our little city trying to top-
ple some laudable enterprise that
has been launched for the city’s
build-up.
Some little cyclone has puffed
the “Business Men’s Club” out
of existence, and all such forces
generally leave waste in its path
and a most disasterous effect up-
on the town and county.
Look at Carthage! Reader,
what are you doing for Carthage?
You are either for its up build-
ing or for its tearing down; you
are not neutral: you have an * in-
fluence, and, as to Carthage and
Panola county, your influence is
wielded either for or against its
\lut. is this all? No! These
beautiful and substantial build-
ings arc filled with stocks of
merchandise equal to Longview,
Marshall or Henderson. J. W.
Miller alone has a stock of hard-
ware and furniture that would
make some of our target cities
feel proud of him.
With such establishments as
J. R. Jones & Sons, L. F. Boyn-
ton, R. E. Trabue, O. H. Butler,
The Grand Leader, Jno. L. Chad-
wick, CarthageGrocery Company,
J. W. Miller, Lloyd Thompson,
Alonzo Walker, N. L. Walker,
and others, we can offer to far-
mers the same inducements as
any of the surrounding cities.
But, is this all? No; we have as
good doctors and lawyers and
newspapers as any city of twice
its size in east Texas; and our
drug stores are run and managed
by men of experience and ability,
coupled with that genial courtesy
that always attends Carthage
than svsr before.—We hear

business men. H.T. Hooker, J.
L. Fall, O. E. Jones and Herman
Wall have charge of these dis-
pensatories of life, health and
vigor. But, is this all? No!
We have other business men and
other business enterprises..
One of the leading enterprises
of Carthage is its Eleotrio Light
& Ice plant. John C. Whitney,
its founder and manager,perhaps
deserves as mueh credit as any
other one man for the progress
and prosperity of Carthage, and
his whole soul, mind and body is
wrapped up in his horns town.
Yet, strsnge to say, the Ice plsnt
hae had its “knockers.”
This institution should be en-
couraged; this enterprise should
be patronised and fostered by
the people of Carthage. Foreign
ice plants do not pay to our
county any taxes, and lend no
aid to our up building in any
manner whatever, and tha same
may be said concerning any other
foreign Institution attempting to
divert public attention from home
institutions. Ws should encour-
age, support, foster end patron-
ize home industriaa. Whai wou’.e
the lawyer think if our ruwr-
charts and farmers should send
to Hmderwon or LmgvUw every
time thoy needed a latter? What
there is a cotton 6eed fight on in
Carthage, and that certain for-
eign oil mills are going to see that
thefarmeraof old Pa'nola “are
protected.” This is right; they
should be protected ; these far-
mers should have been protected
last year. If the foreign mills
are so in love with our farmers,
they should have helped out the
old farmer last year when we had
no oil mill in Carthage.
We haven’t muoh faith in this
“farmer helping” racket. It is
simply competition, and the
new oil mill, built by home peo-
ple and with home capital, has
caused the foreign mills to give
more for cotton seed; that is
all. Our home plant should be
encouraged and fostered and sup-
ported and patronized. The oil
mill should pay what the prod-
uct is worth; and.because there
is now some sharp competition in
buying seed, the farmers should
not be led off at a .tangent from
home industries by the silly and
flimsy talk that the foreign mills
are the farmers’ friends. Just
answer such gush by asking who
was the farmers* friend last year

The trouble is that some people
think the world is not big enough
for a home industry. No, the
world is not big enough; but,
Carthage has two banks big
enough to take care of the cotton
market of Panola county, and
run by accomodating and busi-
ness-like men. Carthrge has an
Ice and Electric Light plant big
enough to light up and keep cool
all of Carthage, and the farmers
who market here. Carthage has
a briok plant big enough to fur-
nish the material for all the brick
houses and chimneys, wells and
oisterns fer Panola county and
Eaat Texas. Carthage has an
oil mill big enough to take
oare of all the farmers’ cotton
seed; and Carthage has mer-
chants enough with goods enough
to supply the wants and needs of
every farmer in the county, and
you don't have to go abroad to
buy. And although the cyclone
may strike Bryan and Bailey,
and sweep them from the fields
of politics, and dislocate Peary,
Cook and the North Pole, yet
