BRAZIL s GROWTH
IN MANUF FACTURES
Why She Does Not Now Buy
From Abroad.
MORE PROGRESS EXPECTED

Considerable misunderstanding seems
TO exist because Brazil has stopped pur-
chasing IN large quantities, or altogeth-
sr, articles which can only be procured
IN foreign markets. and il was upon this
that Mr.. Gurgel do Amarai. first secre-
tary OF the Brazilian embassy, COM
mented in giving an explanation OF
the true state OF affairs.
THE layman does not understand that
Brazirs growth in the last decade has
been phenomenal. and that what ~7
were once compelled 10 purchase in for
elgn markets we now manufacture our
selves. The result. then. is clear. We
have stopped buying many things, and
instead are buying others, needed by
Cs. but which we were unable TO get in
the past. The decrease on the one side
has been Offset by an increase on the
other. Some Of our industries. such as
coal, iron and other minerals. are being
worked 10 the utmost capacity, and
plans are on foot whereby additional
sources Of production will be opened al
an early date.
''Our only drawback is In the local
transportation problem. Our country
you. very well know, is very extensive
and much Of its area ia nothing but des-
ert land Although ! have never seer
them, II Is a recognized fact that Brazi
can count with its several distinctions
the one Of numbering among It's many
subjects. divers tribes OF savages. Al
soon as better system OF cOmmunica
ton has been arranged between points
on the Atlantic coast, especially those
IN the states OF Rio de Janeiro. Parana
San PauiO, etc. we shall be able q
manufacture for ourselves additiona
staple products. and with the money
saved. we shall purchase what we can
not purchase now.
The United States viii receive &
goodly share OF that money. as she buys
most OF our coffee. and we must recip-
rOcate."

Gxpsum Prospects.

The vicinity of Chapelle has already
achieved considerable fame on ac-
count of immense copper deposits, and,
now comes word that the inexhansu'
bic quantities Of gypsum OF the
finest quality are To be utilized on
large scale. A big California company
has been formed and after careful eX'
perting. the report has been made
that the quality Is the best in the
United States. The company has deli
nitely decided 10 commence shipping
at once and a proposition is being con
/ sidered for the establishment of 0
/ $40 900 calcimine plant. The qualltA
of gypsum found in the Chapelle re
sion is just what Is required for th'

Aftermath Of Battle at Hampstead
Which Resulted in Four Deaths

fusilade began soon after. Congress
man Pinckney was shot four times
and almost instantly killed. Thomas
pinckney, brother Of the congress-
man, was shot twice in the back and
killed, and Captain Brown received a
bullet through the heart. John Il.
Mills, the fourth victim, took no part
in the affair and was accidentally kill
cd by stray bullet.
The killings are the direct result OF
the prohibition movement In Waller
county, which was begun some years
ago, and feeling has been at a high
pitch. AT the election held in Waller
county April 20 the prohibitionists
with whom the Pinckneys were affil-
lated, were successful. The prohibit
tion league was called together last
night TO wind up its affairs and dis
band. A resolution requesting the
governor of Texas to send troops TO
Waller county for the purpose OF en-
forcing the law against the liquor sell
ers was debated.
II was at this iuncture that Captain
Brown. who had figured prominently
as .prohibitionist. sought to have
the chairman recognize him, and soon
afterward the firing began.
