The ghost of Amon Carter laughs and laughs and laughs and laughs….

Carter’s disdain for Dallas, Fort Worth’s much larger and much richer neighbor, was legendary in Texas. One of the best-known stories about Carter is that he would take a sack lunch whenever he traveled to Dallas so he wouldn’t have to spend any money there. Another took place at a ceremony at the county line between Tarrant and Dallas counties to officially bury the hatchet on the rivalry between the two cities. Carter and other leaders from both Fort Worth and Dallas were each presented with hatchets and shovels to bury them with. As the ceremony was wrapping up, a young reporter mentioned to Carter that the handle of his hatchet was still sticking out of the ground, to which Carter replied that he was well aware and that he might need his hatchet later.
