smile of heaven, working thru!'''™' l^ce in which to live, and
to attract others also seeking
nature, on Sunday when our
“million dollar” rain fell.
The former is simple of an-
swer. Co-operation did it. The
town and county may be “split”
in ways that amount to little al-
ter all, but when duty and pride
are uppermost, there isn’t much
questioning, there isn’t much
refusal, there isn’t much com-
placent criticism and croakings
as to the outcome or profit of
such feature programs. The
latter is possibly nothing more
or less than proof positive that
natural law conforms itself to
circumstances, and these cir-
cumstances are man-created. In
other words, South Texas has
established itself as within the
rain belt, and is to be recognized
no more as an arid region, sus-
ceptible to long periods of des-
tructive drouth. Agricultural de-
velopment is no doubt responsi-
ble in a great measure for this
revolution in nature. At least it
must be accepted as true, with
no other practical reason to be
advanced.
South Texas is literally sit-
ting a’top the agricultural world
today, and Kleberg county is in
the ideal place—the best in citi-
zenship. the best in morality,
the best in patriotism and the
best in home lovers. Kleberg
county has gone far in this res-
pect of late, with the events of
last Saturday. The town and
county did exactly what it sett
out to do—bring ten thousand
people of South Texas to the
very doors of this normal college
—and these people, with their
influence and support, are to be
the future mainstays of the col-
lege.
It is no easy matter to please
and entertain eight or ten thous-
and people, in one day, even by
large cities. Oftentimes the ap-
parently unlimited resources of
great hotels and restaurants
are taxed in great convention
places to successfully handle
such a crowd. What credit then
must Kingsville claim for this
very thing done, without a sin-
gle hitch in the program, with-
out a complaint and without a
disappointment! It was a magni-
ficent demonstration of town loy-
alty, of co-operation, of sacrifice
on the part of many and of sys-
tem as the result of much thot

sidered a crow ling climax, toi j e(j on t|le cause of education as
tune to create of itself a dump-
ing ground for every conceivable
manner and type of literature
from every conceivable source
of publication. Some of it is
worth while, some of it very val-
uable, some of less than worth-
less. Of the latter sort might be
termed a booklet coming into
this office last week, entitled
“Popery On Stone Mountain,’’
reprinted from the “American
Standard,” and sent out by—it
doesn’t say who.
Now, we know little enough
about the American Standard—
even possibly more than we
should know, if the above named
booklet is a sample of its literary
efforts; for in all our career
never has a more bitter, more
unjust and unfair exposure of
hate been fostered upon a read-
ing public. You Southerners, and
real Northerners, listen to this
| preamble, taken from the first
page of “Popery on Stone Moun-
tain:”
“An exposure of the effort of Jesuit
mental adepts, to foster schism in our
Protestant United States of America,
by the scheme to carve 100-foot imag-
es of R .E. Lee and Jeff Davis, trait-
ors who fired on our country’s Flag

ter models—Association sues him for

the Commander-in-Chief of the Grand
Army of the Republic."
Following this, the thing call-
ed a heaven-created message,
fairly oozes slime, and hell never
spawned a more evil Promo-
theus born in the contorted
brain of an alienist to every up-
lifting, Christ-like thought. The
South is not the South any
more, nor is the North begin-
ing at the Mason-Dixon line.

Without doubt, the results of
last Saturday’s entertainment
will prove far-reaching, and tor-
committees were responsible for
the success of last Saturday’s
entertainment—none more so,
possibly, than the Boy Scouts,
and this in a number of ways.
One of the more noticeable, and
more pleasing results of the day
was an entire absence of traffic

perpetuate, on Stone Mountain, the
shismatie Jesuitical plot to disrupt
America, hy carving images of those
who were leaders, in this effort, is
the work of antichrist, and its self-
annihiliation is at hand.”
Listen further to the patrio-
tism voiced in the following
paragraph, a direct insult to the
President of the United States
and a slur aimed at the dead of
America’s mighty world war
chieftain:
"The reports in the press also say
that Mr. Bnrglum has been in Wash-
ington. pulling political wires, and
has written to President Cooldidge
a letter, suggesting that he appoint a
committee to carry on the work, un-

for young Americans to emulate.”

or worse, authorized the coining of

great conflict is over, the new
South is born anew into the
mightiest union of this earth.
But traditions of the old South
are not dead; they shall live on
forever. That is why the South
wants the marching army of the
Confederacy to live forever on
the face of Stone Mountain, and |
that alone is why it shall be
done. The South recognizes Lee
as the greatest military genius
of all time, recognizes him as
a polished gentleman of the old
Southern school, knows him to
have been a Christian of the
purest type and the leader of a
Lost Cause. There is no bitter-
ness in the heart of the New
South, but such slime as “Pope-
ry on Stone Mountain” is like to
re-create it in the hearts of true
Southerners.
Listen once again to this dis-
gusting ramble and scramble of
truth and love and holy respect
of things we hold most dear in
life:
"The Governor of South Carolina
has asked the Governors of other
Southern States to raise money to
resume the monument to the Confed-
eracy, which he calls ‘the cause so
dear to our hearts. If secession is to-
day the dear wish of the Governor of
South Carolina, he is disloyal to the
United States of America,”
The author of this monstrosi-
ty sheds crocodile tears over the
menace of Roman Catholics dis-
rupting the Union and accuses
the governor of a great Southern
state of sedition. His ravings, if
countenanced by the people of
north or south would do more to
disrupt the Union than all the
Roman Catholics since time was
time and men battled over reli-
gious freedom. The South sim-
ply cannot be made the butt of
sewer-bred hates and desire for
notoriety and money-mad zeal-
ots of unworthy causes. In sing-
ing this song of hate, the Ameri-
can Standard has dared to in-
sult the entire South and seeks
j to shoulder the crime onto the
Catholic church. The South is
solidly behind the Stone Moun-
tain Memorial, even as is the
north. Sentiment prompts the
majestically beautiful undertak-
ing. not sectional hate. Just as
many Southern boys sailed to
France and died in the trenches
as did Northern boys; a propor-
tionate part of these heroes were
Catholic boys. This paper holds
no brief for creeds and faiths in
the United States, but it does
hold forth for the new South in
its newer day, and the old South
in its sweet memories. Listen
once again, Southerner, to the
crimson insult to the fairest
womanhood this world has ever
produced—Southern wives and
sweetheart and daughters;
“General Arensberg declared that
while the defense test plans are going
on, there is a force in the country
“which is not patriotic, and is doing
things to prevent the spread of pa-
triotism. This organization, he de-
clared, is the Daughters of the Con-
federacy. The Daughters of the Con-
federacy does not preach patriotism,
said General Arensberg. It is even en-
gaged in defacing the face of nature
by placing on the face of Stone Moun-
tain statues of men who sought to
rend the union in twain.”
Fires of sectional hate will
never be rekindled, and especial-
ly by this subterfuge called
“Popery on Stone Mountain.” It
is a nauseating stink in the nos-
trils of Southerners and an ob-
ject of contempt by Northern-
ers. Those who seek to alienate
the people of this land and bring
on these political and religious
hatreds cannot do so over the
precious sentiment and honored ;
dead of the South.

WHY
BUSINESS MEN REFUSE
COURT SUMMONS
The question is often asked. “Why j
do business men take advantage of
every excuse to get out of court work
such as jury duty, witnesses and allow
those who nre not fitted for the work
to do it.” One Answer: The Record-
man was summoned to apper in a trial
at Sinton last week. A drive through
the country, loss of a full days work,
expense for oil and gasoline, expense
for lunch and gasol’ne and other in-
cidentals. all figuring up to something
like $15.00 or $20.00. for which
the State allowed one dollar for ser-
vices and a small fee for expenses.
