Ponce De Leon
Sought Elixir of Life
His Quest Would Have been Rewarded
Had He Journeyed Northward to
the Beautiful Ozark Mountains,
Where Vapor City Lies.
BY FRED C. WILLIAMS
Last Sunday morning found me dis
embarking from a Rock Island train
that had carried me safely into this
Ozark mountain resort. Hot Springs,
Ark., sometimes called the "Vapor
City.” My, but it is hot here! Well,
you couldn't expect anything else, for
it is typical of its name, yet it is
beautiful as well as healthful:
Ponce De Leon left the shores of
old France several centuries ago and
landed on this continent on the part
which is designated Florida in search
of the fountain of youth. He failed
and died broken-hearted, but it was
left to an old mountaineer of the
Davey Crockett type, a trapper and
trader among the Indians in the
Ozarks to find what Ponce De Leon
had sought in vain for. Here in this
; valley of the vapor burst from the
bowels of mother earth, side by side,
two wonderful streams of water, on<
: icy cold that trickles down the valley
j to the left and the other that mark.)
! 120 degrees Fahrenheit, yet does not
; scald, can be traced down the right
side of the valley ‘oy the vapor rising
1 from its steaming bosom. Here to
| this fountain of the elixir of life come
; the pilgrims from all parts of the
I world seeking restoration of health
by drinking of this wholesome fluid
and bathing in its fountains and the
| change is metaphorically complete.
They come limping, crawling, hob
blirtg and some must be harried to
! spend a few weeks of diligent adher
! ence to the law of the goddess of the
j fountain who says, “Drink of me and
II will give thee life," “rest in the
bosom of my fountain and I will give
thee health” and for strict obedience
they are sent away happy, skipping
and dancing, laughting and cheerful,
with the youth of their early days re
stored to them which proves Ponce
De Leon’s quest was no vague dream.
It is realized today in this great nat
ural fountain of restorative waters
in Hot Springs, Ark., a resort in which
the people of our race play an impor
tant part. They have rendered that
which is always necessary for the
comfort of the public—Service
Through this avenue have grown the
opportunity of business development.
Malvern avenue is lined on both sides
for several blocks by business of all
kinds promoted by capable men of
our race. Here is located the beaut -
■ ful and well appointed Pythian hath
| house and sanitarium under the man
agement of Mr. J. T. T. Warren, him
self an old and capable bath attend
ant, he at one time being head of the
old Park hotel bath house. He knows
the business well and is ever ready to
listen to all complaints and adjust any
difference of the patrons. Mr. War
ren besides being the manager of this
establishment, is grand worthy coun
sellor of the Court of Calanthe of this
state as well as being engaged in the
real estate and undertaking business.
I met a number of professional and
j business men here who did much to
I make my stay pleasant as well as
! prosperous. Among them Mr. J. W.
Graham, S. M. Ballard, of the Hot
' Springs Echo. The Monitor in the
I future will be found on sale at Mr.
Fred Robinson’s Tonsorial Parlor, 418
Malvern Avenue.

COMMISSIONER RI LES THAT
JIM CROW' LAM'S ARK INVALID
Baltimore, Md.—General Counsel
William Cabell Bruce of the public
service commission gave an opinion
! that the commission has no authority
as to the segregation of white and
I Colored people on interstate railroads,
i The matter was brought before the
commission in a complaint by r. Wil
liam T. Wright, who said that the
Washington, Baltimore and Annap
olis railway is segregating the two
races on its cars running between
• Washington and Baltimore.
Mr. Bruce stated that the court a
have held that the Maryland legisla
ture cannot put into effect segregation
| regulations affecting interstate trans
portation agencies, and. if the iegisla
ture cannot do that it follows that
jthe creature of the legislature, the
service commission cannot. The ques
tion is one for the national authori
J ties. Jim Crow laws passed some
years ago are in effect on transporta
tion agencies operating entirely with
in t.be state.

COL. WM. WAYWARD WRITES OF
HIS TROOPS IN HOT FIGHT ON
CHAMPAGNE BATTLE FRON I
Colonel William Hayward of Ne
braska City, former Cornhusker foot
ball star and at present in commune
of a regiment of Negro soldiers from
New York state, writes the following
letter to his sister, .Mrs. Lowe. This
shows that his regiment was in action
in the Champagne sector south of
Rheims under General Guuraul. It
was written July 17.
“Too tired to write much, as we an
in the midst of the greatest battle yet
in the world’s history, 1 guess. Our
regiment, our division, our corps and
our army have stood like rocks. No
where have they come through. 1
was in the hospital and heard the
party was about to start—in fact, had
started. They were fine at the ho;
pital; broke all rules and let m* go,
crutches and all. I got a big Winton
Six and burned up 140 kilometers in
three hours; was pretty weak and
tired when 1 got here, but stayed in
regimental command post until last
night, when the French general sent
me back here a few kilos to sleep.
Am going up this p. m. as soon as the
afternoon hymn of hate along the roaif
slacks up a little, as it probably will
toward night. The road is practically
[impassable now from shell fire.
“I didn’t know there was so much
artillery in the world as went off here
on our side. The wonderful French
got onto the zero hour of the boche at
tack and we started our artillery a
few' minutes ahead of them. I missed
the beginning, hut i never heard or
dreamed of such crushing, terrifying
noise (noise doesn’t describe it) in the
j world. Literally thousands and thou
sands of cannon of all sizes on both
sides all firing at once; night illumin
ated like day by gun flashes; rockets,
star shells, searchlights, seeking aviat
ors, etc. Geysers of earth, debris and
smoke leaping into the air on every
side where the German shells broke.
The men and horses hit were horrible,
what was left of them. How any
thing can live through it is beyond
me, but our casualties were astonish
ingly low. At that, we had more
than any regiment in our division,
but one of the others is counter-at
tacking this afternoon and they will
necessarily have heavy losses.
“Isn’t it odd that of all the Ameri
cans in this battle the old 60th (165th)
and our boys should be the only New
York troops in the battle? The 60th
is in it up to their ears, too. Very
disturbing news today, but everything
fine where we are. ‘On ne passeront
pas ici,’ meaning ‘they shall not pass
here.’
“Three other Negro regiments have
recently gone into the lines, but this
battle mised them. They being out
side the zone where the boche at
tacked. Fifteenth, good luck again,
ne’est ce pas? Our boys are very
tired; three months steadily under
fire in the trenches, lots of hard work
continually, and now the big pow-wow.
When the thing dies down, as all bat
tles of this kind and violence must
ultimately die down, we hope to get
out for a much needed rest.
‘‘Haven’t time to write more now.
This will all be very stale news when
it reaches you, anyhow.”
