W. R. HOOLE REPLIES
 TO HIS CRITIC,
Says Dimmit County is All He
 Claimed for It.


 the friends of The News. vet we cannot calmly sit by and be relegated to the ranks of Roosevelt's Anani c1u b without entering our protest, especially when that relegation IS attempted by one of the char ter members of that association, Tor Ii any man ever attempted to plead a cause for which he Wa totally unitted certainly Mir. A. (. C.. was the man, When q per son is ashamed to si gn his name to an article certainly lie Is not entitled to much credit as to the truth of his writing. Now Mr. A. Constitutional Growler, 1 de- sire simply to correct your state ment as to Dimmit County, Tex, and We make this assertion with out any fear of successful contra diction. You, Mr. A. C. G., never set your foot in Dimmit County i'll your life time. You, Mir. A. C. G., never was so bless ed as to indulge in the delicious
 
 health inspiring waters of Dfm- init County. You, Mr. A. C. G., never saw those sandy plains you write about existing Ill Dimmit County, except in your fevored imagination, and want to say to you frankly and plainly, NIT. A. C. G., that when you state that the gardeners stick brush in rows to prevent sand from cover ing the plants in this county you state q plain untarnished un- truth. 1 am here on the ground, Mir. Editor. am well known to the people of Springdale, and l say to you that when Mr. A. (. c. says he ever drank water from d we'll in Dimmit County that was GO feet deep he tells a Willful untruth for the water here IS all arteSian water and wells run from 25o to 100 ft. deep. NIT. A. C. C. shows his ignorance in speaking of artesian water being warm. Everyone knows that artesian water is warm, but tie air of this county IS so pure and cooling that q bucket of water hung up Ill the air few minutes becomes cooler than most ally we'll water.
 Now to show how little enti- tied to credit is Mr. A. C. G., he writes his article in such lan- guage as would lead reader to believe that Bee county, where he says lie lived, was i'll close prox- unity to Dimmitt County, when in truth Bee County is 150 miles from Asherton, and is only about 25 miles from the Gulf coast and for aught we know may be sub- feet to all the ills lie writes of. But because he lacked the sand, or perhaps the inclination, to pioneer d new country where it requires work and enterprise to succeed, gives him no warrant, even under the cloak of protect ing his home country, which 1t seems he left himself, to write untruthfully about q county that he never saw. We haven { any interest Ill inducing people to come here other than that We firmly believe every word we have written, and those letters were to our friends, none of whom Mir. A. c. c. could, with all his in- genious way of writing, induce to believe we would deceive. We have invested our money here, and the blessed book says by their faith, etc. Our writing was simply the carrying out of a promise made to our friends and to the editor of this paper, and we say to all of you, that despite the boastful assertions of Mir. A. c. G. that everything We have said regarding this country is absolutely true and we are here and Mir. A. c. C.. never was in this county in his life.
