For a Greater East Texas;
Meeting of Importance to

gurated by Col. Harve H.

the -Port Arthur Chamber of
Commerce, to encourage rural
immigration into East Texas
with the avowed intention and
purpose of developing a great-
er agricultural production and
a more general use of our cut
over lards.
A meeting was held in
Nacogdoches on July 16th,
which, to the surprise of al-
most everyone, was attended by
about one hundred and fifty

five or thirty, had been expect-
ed. It was apparent from the Passenger, Colonization, Agri-

MEAD RESIGNS
is im OF
TEXAS PRISMS
Houston, Nov. 5.—Tersely
criticizing “the political phase”
of the position and expreaaing
despair at the appropriation
situation, W. H. Mead resign-
ed Tuesday as general manag-
er of the Texas prison system.
The State Prison Commission
in session here, accepted the
resignation in -a resolution
which said the body recognized
the earnest efforts and valu-
able services rendered by Mr.
Mead and regrets that he finds
it necessary to sever his connec-
tion with the prison system.
"We thank him for his services
and wish for him success in ids
future undertakings,” it said.
Chairman W. A. Paddock
said the manager’s successor
worild not be selected is the
current board meeting.. It
was believed unofficially, how-
ever, that Lee Simmons at
Sherman, a board member,
wonld be tendered the post.
He was said already to have
been under consideration.
ing has been called ' at Pales-
tine on November 22nd.
At this Palestine; meeting
there , will be members of the
Rural Immigration Committee
and representatives of Freight,
tenor of that meeting that the
subject was one that had struck
an appreciative chord among
business elements of East Tex-
as.
At the Nacogdoches meeting
it was determined that this pro-
ject could best be handled as
one of the major activities of
the Ea». Texas Chamber of
Commerce, and a committee to,
be known as the Rural Immi- ] of East Texas,
gration Committee of the East! have already
cultural and Industrial De-
partments of the Railroads of
East Texas and Western
Louisiana including the Santa
Fe, Kansas City Southern,
Missouri Pacific, Southern Paci-
fic, Texas & Pacific, and Cot-
ton Belt Railroads.
The call has been issued by
Cpl. Haines, Chairman of the
Rural Immigration Committee
and responses

Texas; Mr. J. R. Nichols,
Timpson, Texas; Mr. A. A.
Aldrich, Crockett. Texas.
Because the East Texas
Chamber of Commerce had
budgeted its funds and had
none available for this purpose
the committee wrs advised
that it would be necessary for
the committee 'to raise its own
finances which it proceeded to
do, and it has succeeded to a
considerable extent.
It was the conclusion of the
committee that the most op-
portune plan then offered was
to make displays of agricul-
tural products of East Texas at
railroads and assign to them
such proportion of this effort
as they may properly under-
take and without unusual
financial burden to them.
When this group haa been
organized it is then proposed
to organize additional groups
such as the owners of large cut
over properties and others in-
terested in the development of
large areas of available East
Texas land.
By beginning now on this
plan it is anticipated that long
before another season for fairs
rolls around, a complete or-
ganization will be established
various important fall fairs in'on a sound economic basis.
