GA„ AUGUST 25, 1921. some time. He states that business con ditions there are dull, and crops in parts of the state are doing poorly because of drought. -Mr. Young returned to Cartersville a couple of days ago. His letter follows in full: Laßue, Texas, Aug. 19, 1921. Editor Tribune-News, Cartersville, Ga.: Dear Sir. Since writing you two weeks ago I I have completed my suggested trip to I the plains of West Texas. Will say In j beginning that I had not at that time ■ begun to see Texas for it is a great j state of space and magnificent dis- I tances. Our first ray’s travel In the car took us to Fort Worth, a beautiful and splendid city of about 110,000 popu lation. This day took us through some very fine black land country. Corn was line through Kaufman, Dallas and Tar- I aut counties, hut cotton seems out short | by a seven weeks’ drought, which is yet | unbroken. Next, west of Fort Worth We saw a I real melon country. This is Parker I county, a sandy county and Weather j ford its county seat, lias shipped 700 j ears of melons this season. 1 was sur prised at such a volume of business. Then to Mineral Wells we went, finding a nice little city of 9.000 people, sur rounded by rocky cliffs and small mountains, equal almost to those of the Etowah section. West of this, in Shack elford county, we struck one of the fa mous oil fields of Texas. This was a great show to me. From the hills and high places on our road we could see a great distance, and could count a thou sand oil wells. Some were active and some were not. Great towers are erect ed at each of these and hughe pumps installed to bring the oil to the top of the ground. Then it is conducted through a network of pipe lines to sta tions and refineries. Wonderful to know what a great industry this oil business has developed into. We bought gasoline there as low as 12c. l!ut these oil fields are not and sir | able places to live in at all. West of this is a very hilly country, good only for pasture lands, thinly set tled, until'the plains arc reached To get on the real plains of Texas and Ni Mexico ><>u must climb a lie a ful range of hills. Those hills form a sys tem of mounds capped with flat rocks and is therefore called the Cap-Rock section. Those rock-capped' hills are clothed in a sod of very short grass and are very beautiful as one approaches them, and can be seen many miles in the distance. When the plains are reached you are nearly 2,000 feet above sea level, and in the finest country that 1 have ever seen. But for home ties which control many of us, it seems to me that any farmer would be delighted to live there. If the seasons were reg ular that section would surely be dense ly populated in Just a few years. 1 can not describe how beautiful and how in teresting. Not,, a tree, not a bush, not a rock, not a house, not a ravine for miles. üßt plenty of fat cattle, prairie dogs, jackrabbits, horned frogs and a few coyotes and wolves. This land is very fertile; not black and waxy, it's either gray or chocolate, and slightly mixed with sand. Fine for wheat, corn, maize, sorghum and kaffir-corn. The climate on the plains except in dead winter is fine. Breezes high and dry. and no dew, fog or damp atmosphere at all. A yery fine climate for all bron chial and lung diseases. Any person with T B. symptoms should go there if possible. There is something pecul iarly preserving about that air. I was told that dead animals do not decay and smell like in other sections. No buz zards ever seen west of the. You may kill a rat, throw him out and he dries up. Corn pens are covered with hay only and keeps fine; no weevils at all. Tur- j nips can be kept all the winter in a hole in the ground with just a sheet spread over them. Hog meat has rto skippers and'beef killed after Septem ber can be hung high in the air and kept indefinitely without salt. Th e wa ter is better a ndnot so deep to it as in middle Texas. Mos tall farm work there is done with heavy farm machinery. On e hand uses always four or more horses and can cultivate about 150 acres. Wheat is the principal money crop, and was worth <51.06 per bushel when I was there. From Hale county, which is just two counties from. New Mexico, we returrfed in a northwestern direction, traveling'fifty or sixty miles without seeing even a ravine. Fourteen jack rabbits is the greatest number that wo flushed at any one time. East of the plains is a fereat space of mighty rough and hilly country, too sorry for settlers. It s sandy, and roads are awful bad. In these hills we cross two dry rivers on I long bridges, but not one drop of water in those rivers. One was a toll bridge, costing $1 to cross. We did not relish this price to cross a stream which did not ha\> even, one drop of water for our radiator. On reaching Wi-hita Falls we fount: ourselves again In a very rich oil field, with pumps and wells and oil refineries frequently on the roadside. At Fort Worth we stopped to take in the great stock yards of Armour and Swift. We were piloted through the mammoth butchering plant which was the greatest show 1 saw on my trip. They were killing 82 beeves per hour while we were passing through. That did not seem like dull business to me. Come around to moy store ami I will tell you about it. Back to Dallas, the city of which ev ery Texan feels proud, we crossed the Trinity river on a cement bridge one milel ong. under which there was no water at all. Dallas seems to he a •splendid and busy city. They have one building 24 stories high, but not many other high buildings. Middle Texas is very dry. Corn good hut cotton shed- j ding and opening pre-mature. Leas ing Dallas we motored 105 miles east to my brothers home in Hender son county. There immediately he cut seven hi,:; watermelons ami laid them before us. and at jhe same time threw some fifteen line ones to the hogs. Well i saw I was swam pod I ate until eat ing was impossible, then gave up the light and took a lounge on a cot under a chancy trde. there to be uncomfort able for two or three hours. After all, t must say that my wife and I had a great trip to a great state. Texas is like a great eagle, with his right wing touching the pines of west ern Louisiana and his left wing brush ing the rock-capped hills of New Mex ico, and his mammoth tail tipping the water of the gulf, and his head perched on the border lines of Oklahoma, cover ing a great space juts five times the size of Georgia in this state you can find any sort of country. On its vast prai ries you can see further and see less; see more cows and less milk: cross more rivers and see less water than in any state in the Union. Respectfully, * H. E. YOUNG.

On being introduced, General Bullard studied the face of the corporal and then grasped his hand, exclaiming: "Why, God bless you. corporal, are you the man who saved my life in the Philippines?” ’’l am general," replied the corporal. ‘Well, I have been looking for you ever since, writing to almost every Doyle I ever heard of in my effort to locate you,” remarked the general. "On that day the corporal and I.” said General Bullard, "had been separated from the rest of our party. when from a thicket jumped a Filipino, with a ma chete in his hand. His first swing cut away the top of my cap, and knocked my sabre from my hand. I was at his mercy. The Filipino had his machete raised for a finishing stroke when Cor poral Doyle jumped from the brush and shot my assailant through the head, killing him instantly and saving my life."

Date of Kingston Meeting Changed The Tribune-News has received n let ter from Rev. Joseph D. Harllng. ad vising that ihe meeting at Kingston will begin Sunday, August 28, Instead of Sunday, August 21, as previously an nounced. His letter follows in full: Sherman, Texas, Aug. 18. 1921. To The Tribune-News; 1 have been advised that for good rea sons it will be best to change the date of starting the revival meeting at Kingston. Instead of its commencing August 21, as previously announced, it will begin Sunday morning, August 28. 1 am reliably informed that the Meth |, odist pastor of the Kingston circuit will bo with us to lend all the help he can to make the meeting n success. Thh Baptist pastor, on account of previous 1 engagements, will not ho able to bo I with us until two or three days after j the meeting begins. I believe we are going to have a great j meeting. 1 know we will if all of God’s I,l'' ople who participate in it will do their’ j whole duty. Our Lord plainly tells us that if we will prove Him, He will open the windows of heaven and pour us out such a blessing as we will not hr able to receive. Some of the things that \v e can do and ought to do are these; Bray much, humble ourselves, have i Implicit faith in God. he happy, seek the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit, attend the services, love God s p ople and have sweet fellowship with them: do much personal work in winning Die lost to Christ. I would also add that those who can sing ought to join the choir and blend ihelr voices in praise to our great God. Somebody has said lh.it if people can sing and won't sing, they ought to he sent to Sing-Sing. Let nte add this final word: A re vival meeting is a great blessing to any community from every good standpoint. It not only results in spiritual blessings to people, but it also helps them morally I and socially and in every way that’s pleasing to God. Attend the meeting, fellow Christian sodiers and let's win a victory for a great Captain. Yours for service. JOSEBH D. HARLING.
