TEXAS
W. H. Faust
There's magic in the name of this
irreat Lone Star State, and especially
&o when connected with the annual
meeting of the Southern Baptist
Convention, the largest religious
body gathering in the nation.
Travel today is not like it was
even twenty-five years ago. Today
it is fascinating, even on the ground,
and even more so in the air. Four
©f us started West on Monday. That
night we spent on the banks of the
Father of Waters at Vicksburg,
made famous by Gen. U. S. Grant,
who afterwards became President,
and so combined statesmanship with
generalship. The river is crossed
either by bridge or ferry. We
crossed the bridge to conserve time.
Few sights are grander than that of
Ol Man River just rolling along.
The second day traveling thru
Mississippi and Louisiana and Texas
we came to Fort Worth. Dallas is
just thirty-four miles away. One of
these flourishing cities is a railroad
termini from the East, the other
from the West, which accounts for
two such flourishing cities so close
together. We spent the time with
the writer’s brother, a lawyer and
business man of this section. The
convention was one of the largest
in point of attendance and interest
held in may years. The hospitality
of this metropolitan city was be
yond any anticipated. Texas is
made up largely of families who
moved from the East. One feels per
fectly at home with these stalwarts
f the Plains.
The scenery is grand all along the
route. We went through Birming
ham, Meridan, Jackson, Monroe,
Shreveport and Marshall, and came
back via Shreveport, Alexandria,
Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Biloxi,
Montgomery and LaGrange. The
roads are unusually good. A thou
sand miles are clipped off quickly,
and continually changing scenery
enlivens every moment of time.
The Huey Long Memorial at
Shreveport is a thing of beauty. So
is the State Capitol at Baon Rouge.
The bridge over Lake Pontchartrian
at New Orleans is a huge affair, so
far as length is concerned. One
admires Long, even though he is
criticized.
Our fathers had great courage in
starting out in covered wagons a
eross the plains to make new homes
and build anew civilization. Sure
ly in traveling so rapidly these days
in such ease we should be inspired
to face our problems in a fine spirit,
as we contemplate what our ances
tors faced in the way of hardships
in other times. The trip cost about
what the railroad fare and pulman
and other incidentals would have
cost one person, not counting the
wear on the car.
The Airline Highway, from Baton
Rouge to New Orleans, is as straight
-as an arrow, and on either side of
the concrete ribbon are canals filled
with water hyacinths which were in
bloom. No more beautiful sight can
be found in the country. The rice
and potato fields, the cotton and
corn, the cattle, and vast reaches of
fertile black lands that produce a
bale of cotton per acre, minus ferti
lizer, challenge the real consider
ation of farmers. The scenery a
long the gulf around Pass Christian,
Biloxi Bay, St. Louis, and Gulfport
is beyond description. Water and
■boats and lovely homes. And Ala
bama, for years we thought of it as
a rather poor State, so far as soil
was concerned. Between Mobile
and Montgomery the fertility of
soil compares most favorably with
the famous Shenandoah Valley in
Virginian. Cattle, and Satsumas,
and vegetables are grown in abund
ance, and at profit.
One would like to dwell upon the
Convention, with delegates from
every Southern State. Dr. Truett a
address on Spurgeon and the ser
mon by Dr. T. L. Holcomb, of Okla
homa, were great. The next session
goes to Memphis, Tenn. Autos and
good roads add marvelously to the
attendance. Dr. J. Frank Norris,
the stormy petrel of Texas, ecclesi
astical circles, has a wonderful
church. He preached a really great
sermon to an immense multitude,
where the writer heard him. Many
came forward and accepted Christ.
Many shouted, and what every one
is inclined to think of this preacher,
he certanly has the unique distinc
tion of speaking to the largest au
diences in the nation. It is some
sight to see the crowds he preaches
to, especially for an Atlantan. Dr.
Dodd, the president of the conven
tion, is a great preacher, and an un
usually strong presiding officer.

ANNOUNCEMENT
I hereby announce my candidacy
to succeed myself as representative
from Jackson County, subject to the
forthcoming Democratic primary.
During the last session of the Legis
lature I supported measures for the
reduction of the burden of taxation,
and to improve and support the com
mon school facilities of the state.
I also introduced and secured the
passage of a bill to create a State
Board of Health, which has already
proved its usefulness and will be
the means of saving thousands of
lives in the future, and of prevent
ing an inestimable amount of sick
ness and its attendant costs.
I was largely instrumental in de
feating several bills which I believe
would have been very detrimental to
the farmers of the state had they be
come law.
I believe I have been in as many
homes as any man in Jackson Coun
ty, and that I know the conditon of
the people of all classes, their needs
and sentiments. My sympathies
huve always been with the common
people.
I belong to no political faction.
If elected, I promise to perform the
duties of this office attentively, and
to use my unbiased and deliberate
judgment on all questions that come
before me.
Many questions of great import
ance will come before the next Leg
islature. With the experience 1 have
had, and with the many friends made
during the last session of the Legis
lature, I believe 1 am in better po
sition, and better qualified than ever
before, to render efficient service to
the people of Jackson County.
Respectfully,
L. C. ALLEN.

NATURE
YOUR BEST FRIEND
She gives you your soil. . .Your
seed, and Chilean Natural Nitrate
What a friend old Mother Nature is to every man who makes a crop.
Your land —Nature created it. The seed you plant—Nature creates it.
Sun and rain—gifts from Nature, too.
And Chilean Natural Nitrate—this magic plant food is one of Nature’s
miracles. Into Chilean she put the vital “impurities”, each one a plant
food in itself. They are all essential to your crop.
Chilean Natural Nitrate is the ideal side-dresser—proved by over 100
years of use on Southern crops.
Two kinds of Chilean—both are genuine. Champion Brand (granulated)
and Old Style.
Protect yourself. The way to be sure you get what you want is to say
Champion Chilean or Old Style Chilean when you order. Play safe.
