Letter From 'I’exas.
MU'. M. Taylor writes us from
Texas, under date of
tOih. as follows;
"We have had n safe, pleasant
trip tp this point, arriving here
‘lay night at 11 o’clock
We left Atlanta last Monday at 4
p. in. over the Ga. Pacific to
ham. Western Georgia is miserably
poor and broken. .Saw quite a mini
bei of (Inc ‘•vineyards.”
We crossed tlio state lino near Tal
a-poosa and was soon in a very pret-tv
valley at the root of the Blue Ridge
mountains. It was just growing
dark and as I looked upon the moun
tains in the distance as they faded in
the darkness, I thought how appro
priate the name, ‘-Glue Ridge.”
As we were going along some dl?-
tance !rom Birmingham one of our
party remarked that be could see
Binning])am. I told him be could
not. “Put your head out of the win¬
dow,” said be, “and look at those
electric lights.”
I looked out and saw that .hey
were coke ovens. Our first laugh
was at bis expense.
As we ran into the town of Bir¬
mingham with its electric lights,
iron furnaces, coke ovens, roller mills
etc., it looked as though we were
nearing the gates of that country the
“Book” t dls us is to ho the final
home of those that forget God, and
then and there 1 prayed that, that
would never ho my fate. Next day
wo ran into Memphis, stopped about
two hours, crossed the Mississippi
river on that mammoth bridge that
spans it, (get Tv. J. A. to describe ii
when he returns) into Arkansas. By
the way 1 am now in Arkansas and
have forgotten to tell you about tin*
country passed throng!, except Ga,
Alabama is very like Ga., the por¬
tion wo saw, broken and poor. MIs
sippi Tairly level and although a
sha h: more productive than the oth¬
ers still it too is poor. Arkansas, the
portion I saw, would make the finest
terapin and frog farm in the world.
I don’t see how the people live in
those swamps. I saw a poor woman
get on the cars near Little Rock with
three little sallow, sickly children.
T noticed a lot of men bringing in a
man in their arms. I walked into
the smoking department of our car
and there she sat holding him down
and at the same time holding her ba¬
by in her arms, while the other two
were crying. I astced her whore she
was going and what were iicr trou¬
bles. She said her husband was d O
lirious from fever, her children Aver
sick, she wgs worn out and was try
ing to get to her folks I asked her
where they were and she tout me,
adding that she ban paid the condne
tor all the money she had and that
lie would have to put her off before i
she got there as she liked S2 20 hav
ing enough money to take her home.
I asked the conductor if he could not
let her go on. Ho refined, 1 U ' u
my very heart move with piiy and 1
said, ‘she snail go.’ 1 went hack into
the ear and asked the men to help
her and before I had gone a third
through the ear I tnrnsd buck to the
woman and gave her $2.50, enough
and more.
Blie broke down in trying ;o thank
me.
I felt, after seeing liov, grateful she
was, so R-lad that I did it.
We arrived at Texarkana a little
night. After traveling all night
we awoke lieglit morning on the prai¬
of Texas where farm after farm

Rations co-operated with him.

people who were disposed to

people for their generous
lie said the people had contributed
to him as if they thought lie wanted
to engage in the banking business,
Ho said, “You can’t tempt me to do
that. 1 ? “Now,” said he, “I- afti not
;m orphan, neither is Louisa (his
wife) a v idor . Now, Mr. Clerk, v. u
get a check to-morrow morning for
every dollar of that money and send
it to the Methodist Orphan’s Home
in Waco Texas.” He said, “This
brother lias taken this collection for
me. Noav I am going to take up one
for the flood sufferer:- in the southern
pan of our state,”
The money again began to pour in.
“Mr. Clerk, send that in the morn¬
ing to the Dallas News for the flood
sufferers.” “Now,” says Mulcay,
“this little Methodist preacher owes
GO for tho cxpciices of this meeting.
I want that and I am done ” That
was in his hands in less tun two uiiu
uto.H and ( said to myself, h«*w liber¬
al is this jn pie. J .understand, how¬
ever, the cause. They arc prosper¬
ous. After the sermon Fro. Mulcay
opened t he doors ol'all the churches
and the 1 arrest crowd I ever saw
joined, some one and some another
church. Between 150 and 2U) people

We will leave here Wednesday for
