There seems something about driving an automobile that gives one a different slant on conduct. Sometimes people who ordinarily are reasonably considerate of others sit at a steering wheel and regard nothing and nobody other than themselves. They resent being slowed by a driver who may be having some trouble not apparent to those outside his car, they take dangerous chance cutting past others, they grumble at a small detour that is necessary in making the highway safer, they honk their horns when a traffic jam happens, with the vain idea that this will hurry up the guilty individual and let them on their way.

States is not the reason for the comparatively small vote cast, or at any rate, not the only and probably not the hj prodl leading reason, regardless of what Represen- nevo any tative Geyer of California may tell the Con- 1 gress in his insistence that the payment of poll taxes before voting is an outrage. One proof of that is the vote recently cast bv the farmers on cotton marketing quotas, loi kins In that balloting about one-third those en- titled to vote did so, although there was no poll tax requirement, the only thing necessary being that the voter was a cotton, grower or financially interested in cotton growing. Even in general elections, and in the Democratic primaries, thousands of people entitled to vote do not go to the polls, especially in the South. They just appear to not be as interested as the voters in Northern States where there is usually a machine or an organization that practically drives them to the ballot box.

It may be that the farmers refrained from voting because they thought however they voted would not change the government program. Or perhaps, not knowing what the change might be, if a change was they preferred to "bear the ills they have than fly to others they know not A fellow traveler to eternity say? thnt his uncle has bcrn livinc with him four years tnkes OF Te YEAR'S ACCUMULATION Dr. Hugh Fulton, who was for many years a physician in Ladonia, supplied this history of his family, v-hich should be of interest to ail who care for the early history of Lamar County, because his father, Samuel Moore Fulton, was one of the earliest citizens of the County and had much to do with its affairs in those years. He and some members of his family are buried in the Old Cemetery on North 16th. St.

in Paris. Dr. Fulton supplied this story twenty-odd years ago. He said: The Fulton family was founded in Texas in 1333, when Samuel Moore Fulton made his settlement on Red River, and subsequently built up a business community which was called Franklin, half a mile west of where now is Arthur City, and that was his home nearly twenty years. He was born in 1800 in Norfolk, Virginia, where his father, Samuel Fulton, was a shipbuilder from the early days of United States history.

The father had come to America soon after surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown, from the Clyde River in Scotland, where his father was the founder of the Fulton Docks and where they built up the shipbuilding industry. The first Armstrong married one of the Fulton daughters and when he came into the great shipyards, extending for miles along the Clyde his personality eventually shook off the Fulton influence and the shipyards became the Armstrong Career of Samuel Fulton as IA Who JL JL A 1 A. A. JL shipbuilder began as a foreman in yards at Norfolk and presently he became a builder on his own account. When he tired of the hard work because of age, he moved to Wytheville, in the mountains of southwestern Virginia, where he spent his remaining years, dying when 65 years old.

He had married in Scotland, Nancy Cravens, and after her husband Texas to be died she came to with her son and died in 1847, almost seventy years old. Samuel Moore was one of her six children and the father of Dr. Hugh Fulton. Samuel Moore was reared in a home of plenty in Virginia. He left home in 1313 and established himself in Arkansas Territory on Red River, the place taking the name of Fulton.

He engaged in trapping, working his way along the then frontier skins by trading and gathering with the Indians. He first came to Texas in 1823 and during the trapping season for the following ten years carried on his occupation along the Red River. Two years before the rupture of the Texans and the Mexican government he located permanently at the point on Red River that he decided was an advantageous one for his Indian trade, and from there where he had a trading pest, he operated steamboats on the Red and Mississippi Rivers until his death when but 53 years of age.

Like piccrs of patch.work. But how on earth -we ever goins to get them fitted together to find an ans'-ver? I picked up the bit of paper, with its scorched edges. "And not a of a word on it." I grieved. "Just this little fringe of letters that are the ends of lines, suppose. Not enough to do any good." "Do you mean," Lieutenant Gregory asked, "that you think someone may have hurnr-d the clue to the secret room you have been trying to locate?" "I'm afraid I said.

"One thing forgot to tell Bill said to Mr. Marshall, "is" thnt Sally came downstairs last night after evryone had gone to bed. She got the idea that the clue to the secret room was in some way connected with the murder. Thnt heinsj true, she phould also have £ot the idea thnt clue hunting was not the safest indoor sport at that time of night." ''But I didn't find anything," I admitted disconsolately.

In my opinion it would have been iinposible for him to leave his bed and go to Wisteria Hall at the time you mention." ''It's so important to be sure about it," I insisted. "You think he couldn't possibly?" "I couldn't swear it, of course, if that is what you mean. But in my opinion it is just about the last thing that was likely to happen."

"If I knew," said Bill, and although his words may have sounded flippant, his tone did not, "nothing would give me more pleasure than to lead you to 1 "But," said Lieutenant Gregory, abruptly changing his tack, "you did kill Mrs. Ambler." "You don't have to answer that, Bill," Mr.

Marshall interposed. "But you haven't got a leg to stand on," Lieutenant Gregory drove on. "You admit that you passed the place of the murder only a few minutes before it must have occurred. By your own admission there was a witness to this fact, left behind in the game room. And Mrs.

Ambler was hoard to call your name." Bill looked at him for a Ions; moment with eyes that never wavered, then shrugged his shoulders, helplessly. "What's the good of this?" he snked. "You believe I'm guilty. I know I'm not. We could go on like this forever.

All night, have your way. Only let's get it, over." "So you admit it?" "I admit nothing of the sort. I simply want to get through with all this argument." "Very well, then.

"What do you mean by motive?" simple. Your wife inherits Mrs. Ambler's money." "But absurd?" I cried. "Absurd, eh?" Lieutenant Gregory mocked. "Well, murder is not absurd, and whether or not you are interested in clearing up the death of your aunt the law will see things through."

That's why she left home." "Guess we'd better look into that before we go on with the guests. Ah, here's Anderson. Found anything else?" "This." said Anderson, holding out the piece of telephone "Oh, so it was you who removed it from the telephone? mean from where I had hung it over the telephone box." Anderson and Lieutenant Gregory both regarded me with puzzled expressions. "What do you mean?" Lieutenant Gregory asked. "I mean that Bessie found that piece of wire that had been cut.

and gave it to me," I explained. "I had to answer the telephone just afterward and left it hanging in the closet Later, at lunch. sent Bessie to look for it and she couldn't find it. I suppose you had already picked it up," I suggested to Mr. Anderson.
