The refusal of General Funston to
become excited over the "invasion" of
Texas by Mexicans is good sign.
The people of the United States have
reason to believe that their govern
ment will take the word of a Mexican
in preference to theirs any day. But
if the matter is left in Funston's
hands it is safe to hope it will be
properly attended to. Funston
wouldn't like anything any better
than to clean up the entire bunch OF
greasers who are causing the trouble
ie he thought he had cause.

BLOxHAM WILL BE BEATEN

Where the Williston Courier and
the few other friends of the proposed
Rloxham county obtain their enthus-
iasm. we are unable to see. Talking |
with prominent citizens from the
different sections of the affected DIS
trict in this county, we do not hnd
enough .Bloxham county votes to
elect a corporal's guard. Fairfield,
Pennington, Geiger, Blitchton, Irvine
all of these sections will give very
large majorities against county dlVls-
ion. Even Morriston, Montbrook and
Romeo are not solid for the division,
by any means; in fact, it is doubtful
if the Bloxhamites carry either Mont
brook or Morriston. With the lew
poIiticians who originated and are
agitating the movement, it is des-
perate necessity to divide the coun-
ties. hence they are leaving no stone
unturned and are particularly indus
trious in their work on the ignorant
negro vote, of which there are quite
a few in the affected territory. Inc
strenuous financial condition of the
country is against Bloxhamites and
the sensible voters are going to let
well enough alone and not add to the
woes of an already burdensome condl-
ton by having the great added ex-
penses saddled upon them Of flnanc-
ing an entirely new county, without
a dollar to start with. If times were
flush. both county's finances in GOOD
condition and money plentiful, the
natural buoyancy of "good times anc
easy money" might make many vot
ers willing to create a new county OF
the theory that "I am willing to tr!
i. anything once"
Conditions in county finances ar
hard enough, in all consciousness, am
the voters, most of whom are tax
payers, know this, and are not goini
to jump from the frying pan into tn
fire.
One man, in his argument agains
Bloxham county, used a figure o
speech so plain that the most Hitter
ate voter in the county could not ia
to see his point. He said:
sThose in favor of county divisio
will tell you that it will not cos
much to start the new county, an
you will not feel the difference in yoU
taxes. Did one of you farmers eve
sell out your farm and go to an el
tirely new location; start from tt
jump, clear land, fence it, build
dwelling, barn and other clubhouse
dig wells and grow your first crop
And do you remember anything abo7
the cost? Well, this cost is just in pr
portion to commencing a new count
with nothing to start on and in pro
ably worse circumstances than va
for the new county will have absolut
ly nothing to commence with"

We never could understand why so
laundering much concern about us,
anyhow! We have had no vocation
but newspaper editing during quar-
ter of a century, and throughout that
long service we have never advocated
anything that was wrong, never op-
posed anything that was right, never
attacked or even criticised anybody
in their personal capacity, and never
wrote anything that was not so.
