San Jancinto battlefield. The
personnel of this commission is
nnohjectionable and it is 10 be
hoped that they will consHm
mate the trade without detri
ment 10 the interests of the
state. The bill which provides
Tor the purchase of the land,

for the purposes TO which the

News submits herewith a com
munIcation from Hon. Louis j.
Workman, who has recently
visited The battlefield:
Austin, Texas, May Ito
the News: The San Jacintc
tract comprises $50 acres and
has been rendered for taxation
at an average valuation of So
per acre. Three acres of it
were under cultivation and had
on them a small cabin, the
whole of which being valued at
800, served 10 bring up the
average already given. If this
land has any realty value at
all it must be due 10 The fact
that its owners expected TO sell
to patriotic Texas some day at
an eXtravagant figure. and
were governed In its rendition
for taxes by this anticipation.
1t Is certainly not worth SO per
acre. Much of it-that part
which was the real battlefield
is swampy and convered with
marsh grass and is wholly un-
fit for any purpose except per
haps the propagation OF alliga
tors or'mud turtles. That part
of the tract not marshy is what
farmers in CortbeaSt Texas dom f;
mate rawhide land, and prac
tically valneiess for agriculture.
1t appears to have been once in
cultivation, but was abandoned
many years ago by The poor
devil who undertook 10 tickle
its unresponsiVe sod into a
fruition of his hopes and ell
ergy. This self same unfortu
nate perhaps shielded in BIZ ffalo
bayou, or is now eking cut a
miserable exisIence In some
remote poor house.
Mr. Wortllam evidently
knows what he is talking about.
His description of the land
shows that it would he a great
TO the people of Texas
10 pay $3.50 for it. The land
is rendered for taxation at
$500, aud this figure presum
ably exceeds its real value. /

three years of suffering. He says: 81

friends were fully convinced that moth

suffering. In June, 1894, Mr.. Evens,
then salesman Ior the Wheeling Drug

Balm. AT this time my foot and limb
were swollen to more than double
their normal size and it seemed to me
my leg would burst, but soon after
