OF dollars, and, besides all this, peo-
pie in many sections of our State are
paying local tax. Why, such a law
would bankrupt the State of Geor-
gia. Why should we, Mr.. Opponent,
bankrupt the Empire State of the
South for an ignoble cause? This
law is fast decaying Germany, for
merly one of the richest nations of
Europe. Why? Because the tax
burdens are SO heavy. Germans are
coming across the waters to the land
of the free and the home of the
brave. Twenty-eight hundred land
ed in New York in one day. Now,
Mr.. Taylor, how would you like to
see the good people scattered among
all nations? You cannot produce
one self-evident fact in favor of this
law, which, if passed, would cause
sorrow, riot and bloodshed. With
kindest regards to Daddy Jim and
my opponent, I remain, Louis A.

BRIGHT LETTER FROM ALABAMA

Dear Daddy Jim:-Here am
again knocking for admittance to
your grand old Club once more. Our
Club and the Sunny South Brother
hood are progressing very rapidly
these days. | sure enjoy reading the
many good letters, and do especially
enjoy the riddles. Hurrah for our
debate! Come, Barnie, and Louis
likewise. You are two smart boys
To look at compulsory education in
some ways it seems the best thing
for the people, and in other ways it
doesn't. | don't believe in Foreign
Missions one bit, and think it a shame
to send money over there to the
heather when there are needy at
home. We see in the Bible where
God said, eco preach the Gospel to
all nations. But it doesn't mean
God wants to carry food and cloth
ing, when there are so many right
here who need it so badly. What has
become of some of our noted friends,
like Arlington Tootle and many
others? Many haven't written in a
long while. Jewel Owens, think the
first one of your riddles is an ants
nest, and the second is smoke. If I
am right I shall expect a postcard.
Bessie Roberts, where art thou? You
are due me postcard. We all think
there is no one like Mr.. Watson We
have Mr.. and Mrs. Watson's picture,
and have it framed. I believe Mr.
Watson is a good Christian man.
would be delighted to hear Mr.. Wat
son speak Well, [ will close with
many good wishes to the Club and

all who answer this riddle I will send

meat, and out of the strong came

three-inch lead and an outer case

this condition two valves were fixed,

/ TEXAS FARM FOR Him
travelling Salesman From Memphis
Tells Why Texas Lands Are
Best For All Purposes.

Austin, Texas, June 23.-"There's a
! fortune in every acre of Texas land,
| believe" said a salesman from Mem,
phis to the Texas Commercial Secre,
taries' Association representative here.
"The south is mostly all good for
trucking and crops, but in Tennessee
there is long spell each winter when
frosts may be expected. Here you
have climate where crops can be
made any month in the year, and
while this is true to a certain extent
in the other gulf states, this is GER
tainly the progressive state of the
lot, and better situated for the grow
ing tide of immigration toward the
southwest.
i Whatever part of Texas one goes
ito there are many ways always open
along farming and mercantile lines
for living and chance to save
money, as prices are good, but as to
me. am beginning to get bad case
of getting back to nature 4; they
say. and want to secure a nice small
farm here in the near future
Besides the good living from all of
the regular products there is some
thing still better for one who will
make up or conserve and specialize,
such as by growing various vegetables
for pickles or catsup, and bottling and
labelling same, or in preserving, evap- |
Grating or canning his fruits.
yes, | believe Texas is the most |
logical point for the small garden
patch and farm as we'll as the big
ranch or place, and here one can be
busy on their land all winter. 1t is
ust the place for the thousands of
'hut-up toilers in our great cities or in
actory or office who wish to get out
tfter years of city strenuosity and en-
oy outdoor life and nature, and here
Eou have good low-priced land and

WIRE. ESS
IS HERE:
FIRST MESSAGE EVER SENT AND
RECEIVED IN PALESTINE PASS
ED YESTERDAY-A COMPLETE
OUTFIT IN OPERATION.

1t will be news to most Palestine
people to know that a complete wire
less telegraph outfit is in operation in
their midst.
Yesterday the first message Initial
ed the plant:
Hello, Mr.. Turner. Greetings to
you over the first wireless in East
Texas. Clifford Hufsmith.'
City Commissioner Turner is the
man receiving this first message, and
he took it as it was flashed to him by
the sender Since that first message
the plant has been in constant ser
vice, and doing good work.
Mr.. Turner has sender and re
ceiver in his private office at his
Hoxie street home, and yesterday af
ternoon a Herald man was invited tc
call, inspect and test it. This he did
The sender and receiver are accommo
dated on a small table, perhaps two
feet square The other end of this
wireless service is at the Hufsmith
home, on Magnolia street. The ap
paratus was brought from the Boston
School of Technology, where Mr.. HUFF
smith has been studying, and was
used by him there. The outfit, so the
operators claim, is efficient for a
thirty mile service.
From the Hufsmith barn is run
parallel wires few feet in the air
and the same equipment is at the
Turner, home. From these the electric
current flashes back and forth, ira
versing the space intervening with nc
other conductor than the air. Houses
intervene, but the current either goes
through, over or under. Any way
they do not interfere. The sending
key is something similar to the ordi
nary telegraph key, the receiver is
different, and the operator receiving
the message wears ear phones similar
to those worn by the exchange girls
These were adjusted to the Herald
mans ears, and he was enabled to
hear the of the
sounder quite we'll
Mr. Turner is an old time operator
being telegraph operator before he
got to be general freiggent, etc
Mr. Hufsmith has made study OF
telegraphy.
1t is quite interesting and instruct,
i've to see this outfit, and most wonder
full as well.
