Major General Clements has won a
Mace in the hearts Of all who have
come in contact with him. There is
nothing snobbish about him. He is
easily approached and stands not at
all on pomp and ceremony. He does
not except the impossible of his men
and they all like him. The other day
a number of Tar Heel officers dropped
in at division headquarters and en-
countered Major General Clements by
accident.
Have I been introduced to you
boys?" he asked.
"I think not, General" answered
Capt. H. A. Newell, Of the Third, and
introductions followed. No southern
gentleman could have outdone that
fine old Yankee in hospitality, and
when the Tar Heels were leaving he
urged them to come again and told
them that If he failed to recognize
them the next time they met, not to
selves all over again.
"My MOTTO" he said. els that all
men are nightly near equal, no mat
ter what their rank"
Rev Watson Fairly, pastor of the
Westminster Presbyterian church in
FL Paso, talked to the Third Regt
ment boys Sunday night. He Is Tar
Heel, native of Cumberland county,
and a minister Of prominence in the
southwest. He has promised to visit
US often and everybody hopes that he
will be able to do it, He has many
friends and admirers in the Old North
State who will be glad to learn that
he is highly esteemed here.
The Mexican is here in force. The
last census taken last year places the
Mexican population at $4,000, consid
erably more than half Of the total
population Of the town. Mexicans
clean the streets, drive the drays, and
10 practically all of the manual labor
lone around town. Most Of the cooks
and housemaids are Mexicans. These
Mexicans are Mexicans. They are
lot, never have been and never will
De Americans. Every one Of them Is
rue to his native country and stands
'eady at mommnet's notice to strike
| blow for her. The Mexican nature
s such that stabbing his employer In
he back, or poisoning his cattle, or
ettling fire to his house, or any other
playful little thing like that, does not
1sturb his conscience at all.
The folks down here don't care a
hing about you. Col. John Upton,
nention of whom was made in this
recently, says that
GU never quite get used to the spirit |
t the people out here. They never
make any fuss over you and don't |
i've rap whether you live or die. |
'ol. Upton has been out here IL |
ears and he does not feel at home !
et
Everything out here" he says,
has throns on it except telephone !
oles and many of them have spikes"
