From the Kerrville Mountain Sun.
An Interesting account of horn the South came to be
known as "Dixie” is given on the authority of Fred W.
Thompson, a Richmond banker, who'says the term was
first applied to money issued by a New Orleans bank
before the. Civil War, principally in $10 bills.
These bills, because of the large French-speaking
population of Louisiana, were printed in French on on*

word "dix," meaning ten, was quite prominent, and the

The return of Mr. and Mrs. Yates to Texas
from Washington is pleasing to a wide circle
of friends.- El Campo is fortunate in acquiring
them as citizens. The El Campo Citizen under

Wharton County leads the State in the
crime against civil liberty and an insult to free
government. Nor is such action mitigated by
the flimsy excuse offered in Colorado of seek-

against “pauperized”. labor—an excuse indig-
nantly repudiated by the beet sugar workers
themselves through their accredited labor or-
ganizations.
The problem of the migratory unemployed
is a serious problem in every state and locality,
and notably so in the Gulf Coast common-
wealths where an open climate tempts the
imagination alike of the millionaire and the
jobless. ......

El Campo has a chance to secure the head-
quarters of the Slavonic Benevolent Order of
the State of Texas, often referred to as the
SPJST.
This $3,000,000 corporation, domiciled for
many years at La Grange, has grown to the
' -point where, n -recommendation of the. State
commissioner of insurance and banking, it
will move to a larger and more centrally lo-
