'MY HOME TOWN' Backward Glimpses By Spring- fieldlans to Places They've Loved and Still Cberlsb
By CELIA RAY
TWO home towns are claimed by M. A. O'Rear, director of the Greenwood training school at State Teachers college. .These towns are Centralia and Columbia, Mo.
Mr. O'Rear was born on a farm seven miles from Columbia. When he was 15 years of age he went to Centralia to live. It was there he was graduated from high school. He then returned O'Rear to Columbia to enter the Missouri university where he received two degrees.
Beginning his career as a pupii in a rural school, Mr. O'Rear had op- portunity to study at first hand all types of educational facilities Mis- souri had to offer. But it was no: so much this as an inherent ten- dency toward educational work that caused him to become a teacher, he thinks.
"My father was a teacher." he ex- plained, "and several of my great uncles were teachers. Educational work seemed to run in the O'Rear family."
Mr. O'Rear laught in Centralia and aiso in Columbia. He also served as superintendent of schools at Boonville for 10 years. He taught in Teachers college the suminer of 1912, then accepted a regular post- tion and moved his family here May 24, 1913.
It is only infrequently that Mr. O'Rear visits either of his old home towns. Educational interests some- times take him to Columnbia, but he I finds that most of his old friends there are gone and the same is true of Centralia.

PIONEERS' EARLY 6A BATTLES TO LAND RAILROAD IS TOLD
How Handful of Citizens Ralsed -$20,000 to Bring Tracks Here Is Recalled By A. M. Haswell .
FINANCIERS TOOK MONEY, NEVER FULFILLED PLEDGE
Panic of 1852 and Bitter Civil War Days Played Roles in Shaping Destiny of South- west Missouri
By A. M. BASWELL The history of the early efforts of Springfield and Greene county to gain railroad communication with the outer world furnith several interest- ing chapters. The old records of the county court show that se carly M 1881, When the first railroads were barely beginning to ervep across the Mississippi, a petition was presented to the court asking that . special election be called to autborime the court to subscribe $100,000 for stock in the "southwest branch of the Pa- cifto railroad." At that date the road had no existence, except a tentativo survey running in this direction.
The election was called and the proposition ourried. The census of 1850 in the county. when several times larger than now, was 11,788, of Ybam 1230 were Degro siares, The total county revenue for 1880 WM 4347297. Thus the interest on the $100.000 at 6 percent would call for more than twice the county income!
PLUNGE INTO DEBT
But the and was not yet, for in 1854, ao railroad being yet within 180 miles of Springfield, the rumor circu- Isted that, because the counties along the line were so slow in subscribing stock, the whole enterprise was about to be abandoned. There were tricky financiers in those days, as well as in our times! But the scare worked, and the people of Greene county, panic stricken for fear they were not to get;the railroad, petitioned for an- other special election, which WAS
899
called, and & second $100.000 sub- scribed fort do the little frontier com- munity of less than 1500 white people had saddled themselves with a debt of $200.000!
In July, 1855, the court ordered a special levy of one and & half per- cent, "to provide $20.000, the first in- staliment due on the county's sub- sortption to the stock of the south- west branch of the Pacifto railroad." That $20,000 was raised in cash and paid; somebody got it, but Greene county did not get the railroad! As far as can be found now, no further paymenta were made on those great subscriptions. The panio of 1852 had put a atop to all raliroad building. and soon the Civil war came up, and quickly wiped out that and thousanda of other debta. .
1 ROAD RUMORS TO LIFE
With the great war in the past, the country began to rise from the ashes, and again the air was full of all sorts of railroad rumors. Then when it was finally settled in 1868 that the rail- road which was being built would miss the limits of Springfield entirely. and establish a rival town to the north, many business men of the older town felt that it was almost a mat- ter of life and death that Spring- field proper should have & raliroad convenient to ita business center.
At that time there was \ hat might be called an epidemic all through southwest Missouri for subscribing for stock in railroads which never existed on anything but paper. Laclede, Dal- las, Polk and a score other Ozarks counties blithely voted bonds, run- ning the aggregate into millions of dollars. More or less of the bonds were sold but the roads were never built: the counties refused to pay for roads they never got, and were in- volved in litigation which, in some cases like those of Dallas and St. Clair counties, lasted untill recent times. when. under . repeated adverse de- cisions of the supreme court of the United States, they were finally com- promised and pa!d.
Thua it seemed to old town lead- ers the most natural thing in the world that Greene county should join the procession, issue bonda, build & railroad, and get one that would com- | pete with the road that had not won their love by leaving their town of the outside.
+
IGNORED PETITIONS
+ Bo petitions were circulated and the county court ordered that a proposi- tlon be submitted at the November ciection in 1870, that the county sub- scribe for $300.000, stock to be divided between the Fort Scott. Springfield & : Memphis, and the Kansas City. Springfield & Memphis mads The proposfilea was hard !: bolleed by the voters, for i was detected by the in- significant vote of 368 for and 486
aga!rest it. That was not half the vote of Springfield alo' e! But the defent did not put an end to the mat- ter. for at once new petlions circi .- luted and were numerously signed. asking for a special election on the proposition.
But the county court . did not ca !! that election; it had been persuaded to take revolutionary action, to get the bonde Issued. With the petition came the written opinion of a com- petent attorney that the court had the authority to comply with the prayer of the petitloners without call- ing any election on the matter. The court consisted of Ralph Walker, pre- siding Justice, who was a merchant In Aslı Grove. Afterwards he uns for many yeara an honored citizen of

ANOKE YLAMES 1
At first the people seemned almost stunned, and it was some time before there was any organised opposition, and by that time 4900.000 of the bonds had been rushed onto the market and cold at a big discount, and were in the hands of "innocent purchasers." That was a term Greene county Wu to bear hundreds of times in the years during which the bonds were being fought from court to court. At about the same time the county court of Cass county had followed the same procedure, and subscribed heavily for bonds of a paper railroad. One morn- ing the train on which the judges were known to be passengers, was flagged by a mob of farmers, and the court was taken out and abot! The opposition in Greene did not adopt such drastic measures, but it la cer- tain that Judge Walker and Matthews carefully abstained for two or three years from visiting the region in and around Republio, where the oppoal- tion was strongest, and where threats of lynch law were common. The night went on until at last the supreme court of the United States said the bonds were in the hands of "innocent purchasers" and must be paid.
HAD. ENOUGH FIGHTING
The morning when the news of that decision reached Springfield, there was a group of farmers in the Frisco Jand office in North Springfield, where I ww agent. One of the men, . frey youngster, mald: "We will never pay the d-d things! Greene county will fight first!" Then an old gray bearded Confederate veteran spoke up: "Well. If nothing else won't do you young fellers except to fight Uncle Sam, 1
reckon youll have to night. But not me! No, alrl I tried that once and I got a bellyful!" Meanwhile grading was pushed all the way from Bpring- fleld to the county line beyond Ash Grove. And those cuts and fllla lay for years wasting away under action of the elementa.
But after all the old Investment in repudiated bonds was to prove a grand thing. for in 1877 a group of determined Springfield business men decided that they had walled long enough for & rallroad. They organized ! the "Western Missouri Rallroad com- . pany." put in thousands of dollars of their own money, held meetings and raised $35.000 from other cilj- zena and lald the ralla to Ash Grove. ! They hired an engine. an old combina- tion passenger and express car. and a freight car or two from the Frisco and ran a dally train each way. Springfield never had a wilder cele- bration than on that day in May. 1878, when the dingy first train of her first railroad pulled Into the town. i And that was by no means the last Good derited from the old bonds; for that 20 miles of railroad was the baft which in three years sufficed to bring the Fort Scott, Springfield & Maca- phis into Bpragfeld. And that VM the beginning of a programs that bes Dot ceased from that day to this.
Springfield certainly owee a mont- ment to the seven men who, at great personal financial risk, built that 20 miles of rallway. Their names werv: L. H. Murray, L. A. D. Crenshaw. Charles H. Heer. J. W. McDaniel Charles Sheppard, Ralph Walker and Harrison Havens.
They all have gone over to the ma- Jortty, but it can truthfully be mid the; "their works do follow them."
