sion to arrange treaty with France 1902
President Jefferson appointed him to ne
gotiate a treaty with the Tuscarora In
dams. He was a resident of the same
town (HalifaX) as Mr. Willie tones, and
taking view Of the services which each
were called upon to perform in civil life,
and considering further that Gen. Davie
was in active military service until the
end OF the Revolutionary War, ] dn not
see evidence of Mr.. Jones' paramount eN-
cess OF influence, Mr. Davie having been
called to serve seven terms il the Legis-
lature, twice in State conventions by
North Carolina and once in United States
Congress while Mr. Jones has four terms
in the Legislature and one in convention.
Judge lredell does not appear to have
been an active politician. In 1881 the
Legislature appointed him to revise the
laws Of the State, to make the laws
which had served province of Great
Britain applicable to Sovereign
State. He completed his work and Ire
dell's Revisal was adopted by the
Legislature in 1871. lie was appointed
Associate Justice of the United States
Supreme Court in 100. He Was a mem
Der Of the convention in 1853.
Willie Jones was q member of the
Provincial Congress in 1774-5-6. In
1776 he was for a short time chairman Of
State Council Of Safety. but was succeed
ed by Cornelius Harnett on June 5th. In
1875 was a member Of the convention
which formed the State Constitution.
Wheeler says the Constitution was the
work of Thomas Jones, OF Chowan, Thorn
as Burke, Of Orange, and Richard Cas-
we'll of Dobbs counties. He was dele
gate to the convention of 1873. as men
toned in connection with Samuel Johnston.
Was a member of the Continental Con-
gress, 1880 and 81; was elected delegate
to convention which formed the Federal
Constitution, but declined. Was member
OF State Senate in 1888 and opposed the
law to call another convention to con-
slider the Constitution, but it was enac-
ted He was a member of the Legisla-
ture of 177e, II, rs, 70, 80 and IS.

were bought and sold, and few ques. tions asked or answered. The horses and negroes were usually those that were run across the line by gangs who raided the plantations, driving them away at night, or even in defiance of the owner, for they operated in conn panies. The ''Regulators'' were or ganized for protection against these depredations. There was little law in the country, and this organization seemed necessary. Hangings were frequent. The "court" was orderly, but there was little system about the proceedings. There were three de- grees of nishment-hanging, brand- ing and whipping. Where the evidence was not sufficient to convict, and yet circumstances pointed to guilt, the ac- cused was ordered to leave the state immediately. Another standing joks is told at the expense of the early

immigrants were Acadians- small number came west from the Acadian parishes of Louisiana, and here intro duced the culture of rice, tobacco and indigo. Their descendants still live here, and pursue the same occupations followed by their ancestors. Then came the Americans from the gulf states and beyond, and, being the di- viding line, it was very convenient for a absconding debtors to slip over, and run their negroes over the line, where they were free from seizure for debt. large trade was also done in horse stealing on both sides. Horse steal ing, however, was a serious crime, more so than murder, and the thief was almost always hanged by the vigilantes when caught. The Mexicans did not consider it such serious of fense, and there was frequently a con- flict of authority. The MeXicans never objected to the Americans hanging
 one of their own countrymen, but drew the line at their nationality-or failed to do so. When the republic of Texas was established this was the unwritten law of the country, and CACSo Ol Cnc McAICdHS "AO IoIIo"Od horse-thieving organized into banditti and confined their depredations to Americans. This led almost to race war. Finally, when the Americans largely dominated, conditions changed, and the disorderly element was mostly the s'new corners" from the ''states'' who swarmed into the coun- try just after the war between the United States and Mexico. After a states, or yellow fever epidemic, there would be an exodus to Texas. Caravans of wagons crossed over into this haven for the absconding debtor, and those who were bankrupt and de- sired to begin anew free from the laws interference.
 There was a standing joke told for many years that when a new conner arrived in any settlement he was asked: ''What did you have to leave your state for?" No doubt this ques- ton was applicable in number of cases, yet the country was peopled with many of the best citizens of the adjoining states, just as all new coun- tries have been. But the criminal element could move easily, and soon formed large power. This led to the formation of vigilance committee, known under the less harsh name of Regulators" They were especially needed on the border, and where Beaumont stands was a trading set clement, where horses and negroes

 TT HOUGH southwest Texas is one
 of the oldest settled portions of
 this state, it has remained until the past few years the most sparsely inhabited. In the early years of the last century it was the New Eldorado of the immigrants from the states, and for many it was a refuge from pur- suing officers. This was the border line between Spain and the United States, Spain claiming to the Neches river, on which the oil town of Beau mont now stands. Her military out post was at the ancient pueblo of Nacogdoches, where a stone fort was built, and from which military de- tachments were sent as far as the Louisiana line. This territory was ground of contention between the two governments, and there was more or less fighting along the border until Mexico seeded from Spain. Then the trouble was renewed between the Mexican government and the United States, until Texans, or rather the American immigrants to Texas, re- belled against Mexico, and established the free and independent state of Fredonia,' which was afterwards named Texas. At the time of the revo- lution there were only about 5000 Americans in this Mexican province. The revolution was caused by the re- fnsal of the Mexican government to permit the American adventurers to bring their slaves into the province. The few Americans in this section stormed and captured the Mexican fort at Nacogdoches, about 100 miles westward from Beaumont. The fort was a stone structure, and the Mex jeans considered it impregnable. The quaint old stone building has stood for 125 years, and was recently sold by the owner of the land on which it is situated. The old landmark will be torn down.
 It was only after Mexico possessed Texas that this section received much immigration from the United States, and from that time until the Texan war for independence things were very lively on the border. The first

tragic and picturesque past, for then the country was a garden of prairie and a forest primeval." It also had it's romance. The pirate Lafitte came up from his field of operations in the Gulf of Mexico, and secreted his plum der in the islands of Lake Charles, and made incursions up the Neches river to depredate upon the farmers and traders. There are many stories of hidden wealth on the islands and in the shady bends of the Neches river, and even now fortune-hunting exPedi- tions are seen exploring the country for jars of doubloons supposed to have been hidden by the pirates. The loca- tion is usually designated by an old darky, who received the story from his ancestors-but he never digs for the treasure-he prefers pay for his information.
