WILL HAVE THEATERS
The Shuberis Will inter Texas In 0pp0-
siiiea to The theatrical Trust.

ee The welcome news comes from
New York that the Shuberts are soon
to enter Texas in opposition to the
theatrical trust, which for the past
state with some of the rottenest at
fractions ever appearing before the
public Because of the trust having
absolute control of Texas houses the
theater goers of Waxahachie have
been imposed upon on more than one
occasion. 4 special from New York
under date of February II says:
Lee Shubert. of the Sam and Lee
Shubert company incorporated anti
trust theatrical managers. in an inter
view confirming the reports received
here from Fort Worth and other
Texas points to the effect that his
firm was about 10 open theaters in
the principal Texas cities. Eyes. we
are negotiating for theater in Dali
las and the principal Texas cities, -
he SAID, and the matter has been
fully under consideration by myself
and associates for some time. We
have gone over the ground carefully,
OF course, but ] cannot tell you who
are acting as our principals in these
Texas negotiations or specify the
property at this time. for arrange
ments are not quite completed and
to give names and details might frus-
trate and perhaps block our game,
but we are going in to get our share
OF the Texas field and Texas theatri-
cal business, and we mean to have it.
Perhaps in week or ten days | can
give out particulars, for deals are
likely to be closed any minute from
now on. We can give Texas all our
New York successes fresh off Broad
way and the best of the companies
now touring.

book learning. The other sons were
to be farmers; no high school for
them.
The clap of thunder which fell
upon the Waxhaw settlement when
Tarleton struck Buford and cut
down his panic-stricken men, ran
Andrew away from the high school
and HIS brothers out of the corn
field; and all three were roughly
knocked about for while, as the
armies tramped and fought in the
Cdrollnas. But little Andrew was
soon put in a place of safety by his
mother while she departed upon that
mission of mercy from which she
never returned.
In a short while came the legacy
from the grandfather's estate in Ire
land, and young Andrew Jackson
found himself in possession of a
greater capital than the vast ma
jority of American boys have started
life on--somewhere between $500
and $4,000.
Biographers agree in stating that
the young man squandered his in
heritance in riotous living. This is
probably true. But II is a significant
fact that henceforth in Jackson's ca
reer he never seems to have suffered
for the lack of money. After the
payment TO him of the legacy, in the
18th year of his age, we shall never
see him again when he does not pre-
sent the appearance of well-to-do
citizen. According TO all account,
he is found well-dressed, well-lodged
and well-mounted-gay in spirits,
and prosperous In outward seeming.
He boards at the best tavern in
Salisbury while he gives two years
to the study OF law. Patrick Henry

Alexander ii. Stephens three months
