OUR BORDER LETTER
By S. M. Fupderburk.

people who knew him in his
boyhood and young manhood
days, will now undertake by
his consent. to give a short his
tory OF one Nathan Beaver, who
is now living in the middle por-
ton of Texas. st a town by the
name of Jonesboro, in Coryell
county, near where he first set
tied after coming to Texas, but
has lived in several different Sec
tons of the state.
Mr.. Beaver is now nearing his
82nd birthday and is remarkably
stout and robust, and no one
would Judge him to be over 60
years of age. He enlisted in the
war, and as a volunteer served
until he was wounded at the bat
tie of Manassas in Virginia. when
he was relieved from service till
he was able to 90 back into SER
vice again. He told me that he
could have remained out the bal
ance of the war. but his love for
the cause for which so many
not only fought but lost their
lives and this for a cause they
then thought was q righteous
cause, but as he said to me that
nothing has up to this time con-
vinced him that he was not fleht-
ing for a just cause, but still be-
lieYes that the fight for the Con-
federacy was our rights, and any
one now living. who knew Ma
than Beaver knows he was a
brave soldier. He says he nor
his immediate family had any
thing in the way of property or
slaves TO 90 into the conflict for,
except they would have been
conscrlpted slater on. Says he
did mol. wait longer than the first
opportunity to volunteer, and at
the close received his honorable
discharge at Greensboro. N. G.
He says he fought good fight
but lost. During the war he was
in some of the hard fought bat
ties and says it was miraculous
how he escaped being killed. He
now enjoys talking of the years
he spent in the service of his
country. and telling the harrow
ing tales of his experiences and
Of the hardships during the strug.
gle. To show. how much he
loyed the cause. it did not matter
what subject he would be talk
ing about. he would drift into
the sad experiences of what he
went through with in war days.
The writer has never met a man
who seems more interested in
that memorable struggle than
Mr.. Beaver. In the year of 1853
he obtained a furlough, came
home and married Miss Palmiria
Funderburk daughter OF Hen
ry and Barbara Funderhurk. and
left the next morning and went
back to his command. After the
close Of the conflict, returning TO
his home and wife, he remained
there long enough; TO, make his
third crop, and then by wagon
train, moved to west Mississippi.
and lived near his brother-in- law,
Sylvester Shute fof two years.
then by the same mode of travel,
which was at that time by pri-
vate transportation. such: as OK
and horse wagon, he moved on
into Texas near where he now
lives. There were born to him
eight children, of whom there
are now living two, sons and one
daughter. These children all
live IN west Texas and are doing
well. On December 9Th 1879 he
lost his wife. Since losing his
first wife, he hes married four
times. nSakinU five WIVES a1I told

DEMOCRATIC VICTORY
Special Correspondence.


Washington.-The great DEM
ocratic victory of Tuesday Nov.
2, accurately forecasted by Chair
man Cordell Hull of the Demo-
cratic National Committee,
marks the beginning of the re-
turn of the people to the Demo
cratic party and the restoration
of that party to complete power
in 1924. 1t is more than q pro-
test against Republican incom-
potency and failure. 1t IS a re-.
pudiation of the major poll
cies which the present reaction
ary Republican Congress and ad-
ministration-the most reaction
ary in history-have advocated
and foisted upon the people. 1t
is a reputation of tarriff.robbery,
of tax-shlftlng and tax-juggling,
of Newberryism, Daughertyism
and Laskerlsm, of reckless ,ap
preparation and extravagant ex-
penditure, of the alliance be-
tween the reactionary leaders of
the Republican party and spec
lal privilege and of the reen.
thronement of the spoils system
in government departments.
In many of its features the
election was personal rebuke
to President Harding himself.
The Republican candidate for
Governor of Ohio. who IS sup
posed to have won his nomina.
ton by reason of being an ad-
minlstration favorite, was defeat
ed; Senator Frelinghuysen of
New Jersey, the Presidents fel-
low-vacationist and boon com.
panion, was emphatically and
decisiyely squelched; Newberry,
who obtained a, certificate of
character FROM President Hard.
ling prior to the tyial of;the, New
berry case zbye the senatE F6S
repudiated wherever there were
Democratic majorities; Lodge.
the, ADMINISTRATORS spokesman
in the Senate. has been humiliat.
ed to a degree which in some
respects is worse than his defeat
would have been, and a recount
of the votes in Massachusetts
may add to his humiliation.
There were minor casualties in
the presidential coterie.
President Harding had definite
ly committed himself to the Re-
publican policies and candidates
that were on trial. He spoke for
them by the lips of his Cabinet
officers. He gave every sign
that he regarded the result as
either approval or disapproval
of the Republican admInistra-
TONS acts and omissions. The
supreme court of the electorate
has given its decision. Mr.. Hard
ing and the Republican Congress
stand condemned for the future
no less than for the past.
One thing lacking in Tuesdays
election was the failure to give
the Democrats a substantial ma.
jority IN the House. A small Re-
publican majority in the House,
however. is equivalene to Dem.
ocratic victory. The balance of
powerlwiIl be held by progress
sives and radicals who are as
much opposed to Republican
reactionism as the Democrats.
Republican reattionis,n has
been checked but not destroyed.
The work SO auspiciously begun
last Tuesday will be completed
in 1924.

The precious gift that only Love can weld.
If God would open wide the golden door
That bars the way to Yesterday, / know
That you would not turn back, because to go
Would mean to leave the loved ones you adore.
EOR me the road Of life looms far ahead,
But while Youths cup is still within my hands
ask that may go thru those strange lands
