Mr. Louder unloaded car of mules to- day which his company recently pur- chased from the government. The mules will be transferred to Blevins and will be used by the company in hauling logs off the 10,090 acre tract of timber land near Blevins which the Hoosier Company recently purchased. This company will erect large saw mill at some point near the tract on the railroad and will cut the entire 60,000,000 feet of timber, requiring about ten years study run. The busi- ness interests of Blevins are endeav- bring to get the location of the mill for their town and the prospects are rather encouraging About six small CT mills will be established at inter vals on the huge tract for the purpose of handling the cheaper grade of lumber.

arrived before Mrs. Maxwell died
but found her condition to be beyond
medical aid. Within half an hour
after the attack she had breathed
her last. She had been in very
feeble health for some two years,
and those intimately associated with
her at home realized that any day
might bring the end. Mrs. Maxwell
was native Of Laurens county, this
State, her name before marriage
being Miss Maude Sheldon, a daugh-
ter OF Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. B. s.
Sheldon. She was born Nov. 7th,
1S46, at Laurens. Her parents
later moved to this section of the
State. and on March Is, 1865, she
was happily married to G. X. Max
we'll, who preceded her to the grave
some ten years. She was a consis-
tent and faithful member OF the
Presbyterian church, with which she
had been identified for many years.
1t has often been remarked that she
spent her life in the service of
others. That was her daily and life
long pleasure. There was no
moment in which her hands were
idle, and she counted the best
moment Of her life that one in which
she might be, or might have been,
able to render the greatest service
to some friend or member Of her
FAMILY. Truly. in her passing, a
good woman has been called to her
reward, which Is both certain and
sure. There are hosts Of friends
who will join with us in extending
to the bereaved ones sincere sympa-
thy in their hour OF sorrow. Mrs.
Maxwell Is survived by the follow
Ing children: Mrs. Sue NJ. Nefld

hN'N
At intervals the question Of the d.
vision Of Texas is revived. 1t is Up
again. Two big forces are behind the
movement now. One is politics, the
other prosperity.
When Texas came into the Union
Texas was a republic and had been
one for ten years or so. BY reason OF
that fact rights were accorded TO
Texas which no other State possesses.
One of these rights is that whenever
Texas by act Of the legislature or
through popular vote determines 10
split itself up into smaller States It
may do so without asking consent OF
the Federal government. The limit on
the number OF States is put at six.
Texas is bigger than was Continen-
tai Germany before the war. From ii
PRso to Corpus Christi is as far
almost as from Chicago to New York
Texans used to pride themselves on
the mammoth size OF their State, but
the vast distances are becoming bur
densome. Besides South Texas is be-
coming further and further away from
North Texas in sentiment and idea
South Texas is agricultural. North
ism. East Texas and West Texas are
as distinct in many ways as Ken
lucky and Ohio.
As in the Eeog~a 7hical sections 50
in the political divisions. The Repub-
lican party in Texas. by reason OF
being made up mostly of the negro.
never has amounted to much. The
Democratic majority has been un-
wieldy. In any organization to which
long power is assured sChiSms are
certain to develop. The Democratic
party of Texas has been a potent
agent in developing internal combus-
tion threatening explosions.
Tfere are economic reasons why the
State should be divided. The interests
of the people in the west are SC dir-
ferent from those in the east or south
that regula tons suitable to one sec
tion are burdcnsomC and work injury
in the other.
North Texas today with its tre-
mendous wealth that has come from
its rich farm lands and its richer oil
fields and the industrial establish
ments that are sprouting so rapidly is
out OF tune with South Texas ana
West Texas does not conceal its an
taGonism to domination by Central,
North and East Texas.
Added to it all the politician sees
opportunity in division. More United
States Senators, more governors, more
legislators. more officeholders
1t may take much earnest work TO
convince the common people that the
time has come for splitting up the
Lone Star State and make II no
|, longer lone but a constellati ton, but
the yeast is working,
Nationally the Texas situation has
interest in It's BEARING on the com
position Of the United States Senate.
