Texas is confronted with a
formerly State Senator from
Dallas district, hut now liv-

to make some speeches in sup-

a* clerk in the Senate when Mr.

body, and we recall, with vivid-

Jlr. Bailey made his opening i

General Law Governs
County Bond Issue
In reply to an inquiry by
County Auditor Chat. Gross,
the Attorney General's Depart-
ment, in an opinion prepared by
Judge W. P. Dumas, has held
that the expenditure of the $6,-
•500,000 bond issue, voted in Dal
las county last year, is governed
by the general law and not by
the Dallas county special road
law* thus upholding the opinion
previously expressed by Mr.
Gross and concurred in by the
four County Commissioners.

Dallas County Pioneer
Passed Away Saturday
MISS CARMEN AGUINALDO,
Daughter of the Former Leader of the
Filipino Army,
Mrs. Sarah Jane Farmer,
passed away at her home near
Lawson, Saturday, March 13.
Mrs. Farmer, whose maiden
name was Haught, was born at
Haught's Store, now called Law-
son, on April 24, 1846, and at the
time of her death was thought to
be the oldest native white wo-
man in Dallas county, and per-
haps with the exception of W.
W. Glover of Dallas R. 3, the
oldest native resident of the
county. She lived all her life
near, where she was born.
In, 1865, she was married to
MVite- Golden, who lived but a
married to M. M. Farmer, who
survives. She is also survived
by four daughters, Mesdames \V.

On another occasion while In-Wnsh-
tngton Miss Agulnaido wits given a real
ovation by a Filipino-American audi-
ence when she recited "My Last t'uro-
weJl," poem of Dr. Jose Kizai, the Fil-
ipino martyr.
Miss Agulnaido is a student at the
University of Illinois, Urbuna, 111.
While In Washington she was the
guest of Mrs. Jaime C. deVejra, wife
of one of the resident commissioners
from the Philippines, The Capitol
building and the Congressional library
appealed particularly to the young
Flllplna, while the beautiful sights
from the Washington monument thrill-
ed her with delight. When asked how
she liked America, she smtled and an-
swered :
"It Is a wonderful country. I didn't
like winter at first, but since I have
learned how to skate I am having fine
times. All the Americans whom I have
met have been very good to me. My
friends In Urbana and my classmates
In the university are Just lovely, but I
cannot help feeling homesick at times
because I m missing njy father. My
coming here was Indeed a great sacri-
fice for him, for we are very close. He
Is so good to me."
Miss Agiiinnldo is intensely patriotic.
She does not conceal hor resentment
when she hears or reads of a misrepre-
sentation of the Filipinos. "It Is un-
fortunate," she once exclaimed In a
voice full of sadnesH, "that' my country
and my people are hardly known, much
less understood, by the people of Am-
erica."
Politics is tabooed in any conversa-
tion with this Filipino maid. 8h«
evades the topic by replying that sh«
is too young to express opinions on
things political. "All I can say," she
declares, "is that I share with my
father In the deslra for Independence
for my native land. There Is no ques-
tion about our being able to govern
ourselves,"
Filipinos declare Miss Agulnaido has
a "genuine Flflplna temperament"—
that Is, she does not believe in the oc-
cidental custom of "dates" between
young men and women. She does not
see anything wrong In It, she says, but
it Is such a violent departure from th«
custom In the Philippines that she can-
not adopt It •
"You might laugh at me," she said,
"but I cannot go out with one single
escort vnchnperoned. I simply can't,
I will go back lo my eounlrj with the
soul of a Flllplna "
A newspaper In one of the large Am-
erican cities that Miss Agulnaido visit.
«d expressed the opinion that she
would no doubt be greatly impressed
, by the' sight of street cars and some of
' the line residences she would see, bnt
' the truth to the young lady was raised
In Manila, where she has seen an ap-

kept the old stage coach
stand, where passengers on the
Dallas-Shreveport stage stop-
ped for their meals. They also
kept a general merchandise
store.
Mrs. Farmer, who grew to
womanhood amid those sur-
roundings could graphically re-
late many interesting incidents
of the early days.
Although her health failed her
several years ago, she retaine l
full possession of her mental fac-
ulties to the last.
Mrs. Farmer had been a mem-
ber of the Baptist church since
early life and her devout Chris-
tian life and her many lovable
qualities endeared her to her rel-
atives and friends.
Funeral services were conduct-
ed at the Baptist church in Mes-
quite at 1:00 o'clock Sunday
afternoon. Services were con-
ducted by Rev. W. II. (Tobc)

assisted by the local pastor. Rev.
E. T. Howard. The funeral was
largely attended. Interment

etery.
