«ant us to pause anti tel! you where
this Hebbronvilie is to he fount!, do
you? Such being the case, it s Quite j
certain you won’t be In the running
tor a place in the railway mall str-.
vice. Well, son, Hebbronvllle is in
Jim Hogg county. Anil you mean
to tell us that you don’t know in
what direction to look for that coun-
ty? \N hat do you know about Texas.*
anyhow ? A line running due south J
flora Sun Antonio passes through Jim
Hogg county. A rail line from laire-
do to Corpus Christi touches at Hcb-
bronville. Is that sufficiently clear?
This Hebbronvilie News, if we mis-
take not, is edited by former Con-
gressman Jeff: MeLemore, who is
somewhat in political eclipse because
he prefers to break rather than to
bend. All of us are fond of saying
that a man should have the courage
of his convictions, but In the major-
ity of such instances the feet of the
multitude are above the prostrate
form. However. Jeff: Mehemore
iUM)UB.<.hl(s sHOWKII HI.HT,
< >n the afternoon of the Fourth,
two white men, driving across Duval
County, stopped at a windmill on the
Juan Benavides ranch to Ret some
water. As they drove up, two Mex-
icans, armed with Winchesters, threw
down on them and held them prison-
ers until satisfied that they were not
officers. The white men came to
Hebbronvilie and without knowing
they were talking to an officer, told
Roy Hearn. Deputy Collector of
Customs, of their experience with the
Mexicans, whom they suspected of
beinR rum smugglers. Roy did not
reveal his identity to the strangers,
tout quietly laid his plans to go after
the bootleggers, and about 2 o'clock
Sunday morning left Hebbronvilie ac-
companied by Jack Webb of the Cus-
toms Service and John Saddler and
Warren Smith of the Ranger Force.
They drove in a car to the Reed
ranch, where they secured horses, and
then went to the windmill in the
Benavides pasture, where the rum
runners had last been seen. The of-
ficers experienced no trouble in pick-
ing up the trail, the Mexicans travel-
ing on horse back, with two pack
animals and this they followed until
noon Sunday, when they came upon
the Mexicans, who were in a clump
of thick brush on the Brooks ranch,
making co'fee. As the of''i -c-rv rode
up. the Mexicans opened fire, vvl »ch
was promptly returned although the
officers could not see the boutl'ig-i-rs
because of the brush. When the fire
was returned, the bootleggers made
for the brush, which was very heavy
in that section, and effected th»ir
escape, leaving four horses and 22(5
quart-bottles of tequila. None of the
officers was wounded nor could they
learn whether or not either of the
bootlegger was shot, the otficers
shooting into the brush without be-
*»r<nity of mind; his office is to
ides* * mankind, and right well does lie
fulfill the tusk.
Well,—to make a long story short,
—this Hebbronvilie News, in a recent
issue, has some very complimentary
things to say about one Rob Bobbitt.
And you, son, mean to tell us thut in
all your life you never ate water-
melon with Prother Bobbitt? Well,
you are In for an Introduction, and we
are going to let Jeff: Mcb« more do
the talking:
“Some years ago, not many, a boy
was born on a farm in Hill County,
this State, a few miles out from the
city of Hillsboro. Nothing unusual
nttended his coming Into the world,
his arrival being similar to that of
other boy babies born on farms. He
showed no unusual talents, that is,
talents out of the ordinary, but he
did make a ruther apt pupil and
never let the schoolboy games inter-
fere with his studies. In other words,
he made a good record at school,
but several of his schoolmates did the
same and in this respect there was
nothing to distinguish him from the
ethers. As time wore on he grew
old enough to become n student at
the Carlisle School and there decided
to study law as a profession. In this
he was encouraged by his elders and
eventually he found himself in the
Lew Department of the State Uni-
versity. As in the public schools and
at Carlisle, he made a good record
in the State University and graduated
from the Law Department with hon-
ors. His next move, after finishing
at the University, was to decide on a
place at which to begin the practice
of his profession. Laredo appealed
to him as a city with a future and
to Laredo he came, forming a part-
nership with another young lawyer,
Hon. Asher R. Smith. This partner-
ship lasted a year and a half, when
the subject of this sketch formed a
partnership with Hicks, Hicks &
Dickson, and since that time he has
been the Junior member of that
promment law firm, now known as
Hlclu. llloks, Dickson & Bobbitt."
And then Mr. McLemore goe« on
to tell us how the people down there
sent Bob Bobbitt to the Legislature—
the Honorable Robert Lee Bobbitt, If
you please: and how he was made
chairman of the House Judiciary
Committee, and how. just before the
legislature adjourned, forty-eight
members of the body adopted a com-
mendatory resolution and put him in
nomination for speaker of the next
House. We haven’t much patience
with that sort of prematurity—that
of endorsing a chap before either he
or they have been elected. Rut Boh
Bobbitt sems to be an all-around
gootl fellow, and the fact that he be-
gan hie career in our neighbor coun-
ty of Hil is cause for u* to warm tip
to him Just a bit, although mor'n
likely he wouldn't mind if all of us
wire cool toward him until after
tit frost has fallen on the punkln.
Ing able to see the Mexicans and go-
ing by guess-work alone. The tequila
was destroyed and the horses, better
animals that are generally used by
bootleggers, were brought to Heb-
toronville. These are the first boot-
leggers in sometime that have shown
fight when tackled by officers of the
law. the othes usually making for the
brush or quietly surrendering to the
officers without making the least resi-
stance.

FOURTH THIS YEAR—MORE Til \ \ \ THOUSAND lEOBLE ATE
BARBECUE—CONGRESSMAN' JOHN G MINER AND HON. D AY-
TON MOSES AMONG THE SPEAKERS.
Hebbronvilie outdid itself in its
Fourth of July celeb ration this year.
The celebration wus held at the Henry
KUds ruru-h six milts south of Heb-
bronville and was attended by quite
a large crowd, many coming from
neighboring towns. A most interest-
ing feature of the celebration was the
barbecue, and which was enjoyed toy-
one and all. At dinner, on* thousand
hungry people were served and five
hundred remained for supper. And
still there was quite a large quantity
of barbecued meats left over.
Tlte crowd began to gather at the
celebration ground^ us early as 9:30
o’clock, eomlng in autos from every
direction, and by 11 o’clock there hail
been parked more than 2f>0 cars while
enough arrived after that hour to In-
crease the number to a limit 300 by
the time dinner was served.
At 12 o’clock dinner wus announced
by Mr. Oscar Thompson, chairman of
the general committee, and this was
served as follows: The meat, still
steaming, was taken from the bar-
becue pits and brought into a large
room where it wus served in card-
hoard plates along with bread, salad,
pickles, etc., and accompanied by
either eoffe or iced-tea in tin cups.
The people, in a long line, entered
one door of this room, secured their
dinners and made their exit from
another door, where long tables, with
seats, and under a thatched 6hetl.
awaited them.
Nearly two hours were consumed
in disposing of the dinner, after
which the people gathered under the
large canvass awning in front of the
speakers stand and which was pro-
vided with seats. Prof J. Frank Me-
dee. as master of ceremonies, an-
nounced the programme, which com-
menced with a Fourth of July oration
by Hon. John L. Dannclley of Laredo,
who was introduced by Professor Mc-
Gee as the “Orator of the Day.’’ Mr.
Dannelley spoke some twenty minutes
and acquitted himself in a highly
creditable manner, frequently being
interrupted with applause.
Professor McGee next introduced
Miss Virginia Stetson as the “Swed-
ish Nightingale" of Hebbronvilie, ^nd
who entertained the audience most
delightfully with "Lest We Forget."
Mrs. Barney Anderson accompanying
on the piano. Responding to an en-
core, Miss Stetson sung - Dixie." which
met with such a hearty response that
at times she had to pause to let the
applause die away. Miss Stetson, who
who is a young lady of rare harm
and of exquisite personality, has a
most beautiful voice which entitles
her in every way to he called the
•Swedish Nightingale’’ of Hebbron-
me. the Immortal Jenny Lind being
the originu! "Svveedlsh Nightingale.”
Miss Stetson was horn in Washing-
ton City, but much of her life has
been spent in Hebbronvilie. her par-
ents moving here when she was quite
a stnull girl.
Following up the programme. Pro-
fessor McGee next introduced Mr.
Henry Kilds, who, In a few well-
chosen. timely and lanilable words,
introduced Congressman John Gar-
ner as one of the country's greatest
statesmen; as perhaps the oldest
Democratic rongresstnan in point of
service; us the ranking Democratic
member of the powerful Ways and
Means Committee, anil as a big man
who was absolutely bossed by his lit-
tle three-year old granddaughter. Mr
Eiids concluded amidst a deafening
appluuse, which seemed to increase
as Mr. Garner took his stand before
the enthusiastic audience.
Mr. Garner began by expressing his
appreciation of the reception record-
ed him by the good people of Heb-
bronvilie. of Jim Hogg County and
of those who composed the audience;
pH id his respe. -ts to Mr. Edds. Mr.
Thompson and a few other Jim Hogg
County people whom he hail long re-
garded as good friends; paid a beau-
tiful tribute to the women, and then
launched into National affair", deal-
ing with a number of leading Issues
and which he hundled in the manner
of a real and experienced statesman,
us h» is. The lack of space prevented
t* full report of Mr. Garner's speech,
but what lie said about taxes and
taxation, cannot well be overlooked
K« guiding the Income tax, he e.\pr*ss-
cd himself us follows:
"I am Ic favor «f giving an ex-
evptlon of 13,000 to married men and
$4,000 to single i len, instead of
$2,500 and $2,000 as now provided
by la w.
*T fuvor a reduction of the sur-
tax to 25 and 30 per cent, Instead
of 40 per cent as it now stands.
"As to estate taxes, thut's an open
-question, but if the present policy is
pursued, 1 would favor the examp-
tlon of $100,000 before any tax Is
applied: and then probably the re-
duction from the highest bracket.
"I think thut consumption taxes
should be repealed as fur as the
needs of the Treasnry will permit.”
Throughout his speech Mr. Garner,
at periods, met with great applause,
and this became vociferous when he
concluded It was the first public
speech outside of congress, he had
made in sixteen years, and this was
the first visit he hud ever made to
Hebbronvilie. His speech wus made
off-hand and without notes.
Professor McGee announced that
the next man on the programme wau
one they all knew, most of them
personally und the rest by sight. He
then introduced Col. \V. W. Jones,
who praised the people os Hebbron-
vtll for their wonderful ability to
pull off a great barbecue; complimen-
ted Congressman Garner on his abil-
ity as a Representative in Congress,
und then, in words of force und elo-
quence, introduced Hon. Dayton
Moses, general attorney of the Texas
Crittle Raisers Association—a man
"who had certainly (lone his part in
prosecuting cattle thieves and assist-
ing in suppressing cattle-stealing in
Texas.” Mr. Moses was greeted with
prolonged uppluuse when he took his
place before the audience, but right
here we will digress for a moment
to make a few explanatory remarks.
Pome months ago Mr. Moses wrote
the editor of The News that he was
very anxious to visit Hebbronvilie
but was so bury prosecuting cuttle-
thieves that he found it a difficult
matter to pay ns a visit. However."
he continued, "if your grand jury will
do its duty anil indict — — und
— — for stealing' cattle. It will
give me a good excuse to visit Heb-
bronvilie and I will certainly do so.”
A short time since, when Henry Edds
wired Mr. Moses to be sure, and come
down and attend the barbecue, the
’utter wired back as follows:
s “If there would be a good chance
to catch those cow thieves and Char-
ily Craighead would meet the morn-
ing train in Laredo July 4 and drive
me to Hebbronvilie, 1 could go down.
Wire me Driskill Hotel, Austin, Re-
gards to all."
It took .Mr. Edds but n minute to
shoot back to him the foMow'ng wire:
"Your wire received. Depredating
on increase. Two of «u«pe( ts will he
here on the Fourth. Charley will
meet yon in Laredo with all dope. If
carefully managed, sure can rapture
thieves. Court and jury with us,
hut must have your presence. Can
we depend rn you? Answer care
lisiiilton Hotel. Laredo."
To this Mr. Moses wired back:
"Will be at Hamilton Hotel Saturday
morning.” And he whs, but ns Char-
ley Craighead had so much work to
do assisting at the barbecue', Capt.
W. M. Ryan of the Rangers was dele,
gated to meet Mr. Moses and escort
him to Hebbronvilie, which he did.
With this explanation, let us now turn
to Mr. Moses, who has a big name
ns a prosecutor and who 1h also a
public speaker of r *re.
Mr. Moses began by telling how he
had long wanted to visit Hebbronvilie
nnd how grutlfied he was that he was
now here. He said the presence of
so many ladies and of so many In-
telligent people generally, caused
him more or les* embarrassment, as
his speeches, when ont made in court
rooms, had hereto»ore been made
chiefly to cattlemen and that It didn’t
matter much then Just what he said,
on this occasion, however. It was dif-
ferent. for now be was confronted by
a, refined and intelligent audience
and he realised that he would have
to use more rare in his remarks than
!« he were talking to Just a bunch of
cattlemen who chewed, smoked, cuss-
ed and whittled while he was address-
ing them. However, *ie would do the
best he could and if ho made ary

A City’s Waterworks
< B.v Lamartine.)
"You may break, you may shatter
the vase if you will.
But the scent of the roses will cling
to it still.”
Pan Antonio ha" become the pos-
sessor of Its waterworks system and
still water-consumers are not satis-
fied. It is dobutfu! if there is or has
been any one corporation in the
United States that has been connected
with more scandal than this water in-
stitution. It has been charged with
corruption time und again. At times
the entire State heard of the charges
of bribery und other questionable
transactions between rival interests in
fights for ownership and control.
When the city took over the plunt
it was hoped that citizens would b*
given some inside information about
what Is now their own business. Pome
years back one of the San Antonio
newspapers (afternoon) was exposing
waterworks frauds. it was bought
eff for cash and the management of
the newspaper changed at once. On
I’nother occasion a wealthy Austin
citizen concluded to take a hand in
the pie. He engaged a newspaper
man to start a newspaper in San An-
tonio to open his fight. A big deal
i.Mi; THEM A REAL THRILL.
In its report of the National Con-
vention of the Natural Gas Associa-
tion of America, recently held at At-
lantic City, the Natural Gas toi.mal.
among other things, had this *o say of
one we all know nand to whom the
people of Hebbronvilie are Indebted
for the naturul gas that is now sup-
plying this city with fuel. The Gan
Journal Rays:
“During this session (of the con-
vention) several musical numbers
were given by professional entertain-
ers. but the real thriller of the ses-
sion was given through the enter-
prise of Dr. M. I*. Culllnan, president
of the Border Gus Company, Laredo,
Texas. Dr. CulMnan brought with
him and had displayed on a iwroen a
mov’ng pieture showing his unique
und entirely effective method of
snuffing out a well fire. The photo-
graphs very dearly pictured the
fieht waged und photographs of a
working model cf the Cullinan me-
thod made it quite clea- why his de-
vice is so successful in snuffing out
well fires. The pictures were graphic
: nil held the drlegutes on the edge
rf their chairs, while Dr. Cullinan
kept up a running comment that
made the pictures doubly interesting.”
Hebbronvilie people will all ri mem-
ber the great gas well fire that burn-
• d for wver.'il week*, lighting up the
country for miles around and which
Dr. Cullinan volunteered to put out,
nnd succeeded, at*er so many others
hail failed. The item from Die Gas
Journal ha- reference to this burn-
ing well, whose subduing was shown
by Dr. Cullinan on the screen. This
Is. th* well that is now supplying Heb-
bronvilie with natural gas.
ORANGE grove merchants.
Speaking of those who believe in
advertising, let the News commend
you to the business men of orange
Grove, Texas, a little town not as
large as Eustis. An old friend, P. A.
Pipes, publishes the observer there.
His last issue shows an advertising
pateronage of 350 inches out of a pos-
sible 480—or approximately 75 per
cent. Just think of It. Seventy-five
per cent of the paper sold to adver-
tisers and 25 per cent left for ger-
mane matter for the readers. It mere,
ly shows that Orange Grove busi-
ness men have the pep and be:leve in
printer’s ink, otherwise they would
not pay to tell the public what they
are doing and what they have to
sell. Live wire advertising mrchants
build up u town. A business that
Is not worth advc-Using has no rea-
sonable excuse for existence.— Kurils
(Neb.) News.
MERCHANTS Wllo ADVERTISE.
We have perhaps the most progres- |
wive and aggressive bunch of business ,
men in the entire State of Tex'S, who
are getting results as may m evi-
denced by the fact that the business
of Orange Grove for the year 1924
was right at $1,000,000, vvhhh is
some Item when a population of not
more than 500 is taken into considera-
tion—in other words our merchants
c’c. not sit on their boot heels In front
of their places of business and wait
for business to come to them—but GO
AFTER IT WITH PRINTER'S INK
AND GET IT.—Orange Grove Ob«er-
ver.
was made and the city wus to be
mulcted. There followed a row over
division of spoils and then the news-
paper exposed the whole crookedness.
On another occasion the plant litiga-
tion was In Federal Courts. In New
York, a Federal Judge said from the
bench that some of the testimony was
such a tissue of falsehood und pre-
jury It should be entirely ignored by
the Jurors. Followed a great scandal
over the grunting of a franchise and
in one of his speeches in Sun Antonio
Senator Joe Bailey gave some Inside
information. The franchise under
which the plant wus being operated
when sold to the City was one of the
1 most pernicious documents penned by
mortal man. It robs widows and
orphans. This rate Is still continued
under municipal ownership. A widow
renting part of her home is charged
much higher rate ior water than u.
wealthy man who is not forced to
rent his home to keep the wolf from
the door. The hypothesis is that the
widow is selling water at a profit
when she rents a room or if she has
duplexed her house she is robbing
the water company. Menfolks who
can use the English language with
the side trimmings are the only ones
capable of giving expression to their
opinions in the premises.
Every town in Texus has heard of
the change of private ownership to
municipal ownership of the Hun An-
tonio plant. The people are wonder-
ing w hy Sun Antoifto, should pay six
und a half millions plus half a mil-
lion more to make repairs for a plant
not worth more than half that sum.
IR-uston has a newer anil better plant
than has San Antonio. Municipally
operated. Houston's plant earned af-
ter supplying city with ils water free
around $7 50,000 a year. That plant
is valued by the city at two and a
half million dollars, yet the Pan An-
t> -lo plant, which claims to have lost
• oney. is purchased for six and a
half million. And Houston's water
>etc 1« less than half that of Pan An-
tonio’s, The citizens of Texas arc
vitally interested In this case because,
if present law permits such trans-
.....lows, a change will be asked. The
4 7.0i)0.000 of water bonds were sold
without bids as were $4,300,000 of
dan bonis and at 5(4 per cent, and,
it is claimed by persons in position
to know, that in this one deal Ran
Antonio taxpayers lost at least one
million dollars. A board of water
commissioners has been appointed,
members to hold office for ten years.
This board considers the waterworks
their individual property. The pub-
lic be eternally damned. Newspaper
reporters are barred from attending
board meetings. Here again the
shroud of secrecy has cast a shadow
of suspicion over the entire business
which will not easily be dissipated.
The board of (real-toros) backs up
the water commissioners, hoping to
receive as their quid pro quo exten-
sion of water mains to outlying ad-
ditions at expense of the public. And
this same real estate board (real-toros
copyrighted) only a short time ago
si as gathering data to show the rot-
tsnnei of the same water company.
Tho charge is made thut Pun Antonio
reporters are not competent to pro-
perly report proceedings to suit the
great l AMS. Perhaps so. There are
some incompetent reporters Just as
there are incompetents in other lines
of business. However, there is one
thing that may be said, nnd that is
that among all the reporters, re-
gardless of competency, they are hon-
est, which Is more than can be snid
of some of their trailueers. On with
the fight. The next legislature may
take a hand and put a stop to sellln%
mllilens of bonds to favorites at a
high rate of interest. Think of C>H
per cent for seven million dollars
with money going begging in money
centers!
