THE GULF COAST OF
TEXAS
A LAND "FLoWlNG IN MILK AND
HONEY"
semi-TropicaI Climate; Vast Yields Of
Vegetables and Fruit.
Corpus Christi, Tex, Feb. H.

Corpus Christi, Tex, Feb. Ia
The lower Rio Grande Valley is
sometimes erroneously referred to as
Southwest Texas, and so is ElPaso,
but THEY ARE EIGHT HUNDRED
MILES APART.
1t is Winter in Northern Texas while
the Gulf Coast country is enjoying
sunshine like that of May.
In fact the Gulf Coast knows no
Winter-every month is growing
month.
Texas produces wheat like Mime
sofa, corn like Illinois, and more cot
ton than any other two Southern
States combined. And no part of this
great State surpasses in opportunity
and possibilities the Gulf Coast Coun-
try and the region down by the Rio
Grande.
Artesian water was discovered FIVE
or six years ago on the great King
Ranch, near Corpus Christi AS time
went on the Artesian Belt was extend
ed until it now covers the territory
from Robstown, sixteen miles west of
Corpus Christi, to Raymondyille, and is
being extended monthly with every in
dication that a satisfactory flow will
be obtained in all territory not covered
by the systems Of irrigation on the
Rio Grande.
One of the most successful planters
on the Rio Grande is Mr.. John Closner,
who owns six thousand acres near Hi
dalgo, on the s. L., B. e. M. Ry. From
thirty-three acres of Bermuda onions
Mr.. Closner last year (1906) shipped
thirty-five carloads Of as fine onions
as were ever grown. This crop alone
netted him $4,000.
Two crops of corn can be grown on
the same land each year along the
Rio Grande. Rice. cotton and numer-
GUS other crops, as we'll as a great
variety of fruit can be grown just as
successfully. At a dinner recently
given some visitors, Gulf Coast agri-
culturist set fifteen (15) different va
rieties of vegetables before his guests.
A comprehensive book OF eighty
pages, profusely illustrated and fully
descriptive of the Texas Gulf Coast
may be obtained by addressing John
Sebastian, Passenger Traffic Manager

They were forthcoming and the man

What is wanted is hostess trade

own self-respect, and to extinguish
socially any man guilty of the slight

drawback to the formation of such a

MRS. EEvA eARsER EDWARDS

There are three critical stages in
woman's life which leave their mark
in her career. The first of these stages
is womanhood, or the change from
care free girl to budding womanhood,
The second is motherhood, and the
third Is Change of Life.
Perils surround each of these stages,
and most of the misery that comes
to women through i'll health dates
from one or another Of these i'm
portant crises.
Women should remember that Lydia
e. Pinleham's Vegetable Compound
made from native roots and herbs has
carried thousands of young girls over
the critical period of puberty, has
prepared mothers for childbirth, and
in later years carried them safely
through the change of life more sue
cessfnlly than any other remedy in
the world. Thousands of testimonials
from grateful persons, two of which
are here published, substantiate this
fact beyond contradiction.
Mrs. George Walters of Woodlawn,
Ill. writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-

NEGRO BISHOP
 EXPORTS HIS RAGE
BISHOP TURNER TELLS HIS PEO- PILE THAT THEY ARE PASSING THROUGH A FEARFUL CRISIS THESE YEARS.

Americus, Ga, November 14.-Before a congregation including 400 ministers of the Southwestern Georgia Methodist con- ference (coiored) Bishop Henry x. Fur ner delivered a stirring address on the dlsfranchisement of the negro. Bishop Turner, in urging his race to action, said that every man that sits idly now is tying his children to the wheels of degradation for 100 years to come. His address, in part, follows:
 We are passing through a fearful crisis now. The effort to disfranchise and rule us out of the pale of humanity Is an effort to disgrace us, a scheme put in operation by malicious and misanthro- pic men to tie us to the wheel of deg fradation. All of the dominant race are not in favor of it. Hardly 8 day passes but white men tell me people will bestir themselves to save our humanity, and l really believe it is true.
 If we had stood up as we should have done, we would not be puppets of desra- dation. There is no harmony amongst us. no concern about our rights and the rights of our children and children s children. Every one of us that sits quietly is tying our children to the wheel of degradation for 100 years to come. :"

TRADE IS SOUND
 THROUGHOUT SOUTH
REPORTS TO DUN & co. SHOW VERY FAVORABLE CONDITIONS AMONG MANUFACTURING IN- TERESTS.

New York, November 14-Comparative- ly sound conditions in commercial and manufacturing interests are indicated by special reports to R. G. Dun & Co. from over 60 of the leading cities of the coun- try. Conservatism in accommodating stock is reported in some places and in others working hours are being reduced and men laid off. As a rule, however, the reduction in production is not great and is taken rather as a measure of precau- tion than because of greatly diminished orders.
 Very favorable reports are received from many southern points. especially from Richmond, Lynchburg, Wilmington, N. C., Charleston, Columbia, Savannah, Augusta, Mobile, Montgomery and Knox vile. Falling off in business is reported at Atlanta and Dallas and to limited extent at other points. The system of clearing house certificates is most ex- tensively in use in Georgia, and they are accepted without question in small de- nominations at Atlanta, Savannah, Macon and Augusta. From Columbia it is re- ported that the certificates are less ae- ceptable to the farmers in payment for cotton and other crops. Knoxville re- ports ample funds on hand, but at Nash Vile clearing house certificates are being freely used. Al Norfolk conditions have been somewhat less favorable, the diff culty in negotiating exchange having retarded the shipments of cotton for a few days last week, but shipments have improved this and business is moving along usual.
 It is notable that from nearly all points business failures are reported to be only normal in number and collections are bet ter than would be indicated by the strin- gent condition of the money market

ARRANGEMENT HAVE BEEN MADE FOR THE SECRETARY TO VISIT ENGLAND AND SEE EN- PERoR WILLIAM.

Washington, November 14.-Secre- tary Taft, through General Edwards. who is accompanying him on his round- the-world trip, has sent a cablegram to jor Mcintyre of the bureau of in sular affairs. suggesting the making of tentative arrangements for the sailing of the party home from Europe, either on December ', from Hamburg, on the President Grant. or on the 11th on the steamer Majestic, from Cherbourg. General wards dispatch made no mention respecting the secretary's itin- erary in Europe. Tentative engage ments for the secretary and his party to sail from Cherbourg to New York on December had been arranged and the cablegram informing him of that fact must have crossed that from Gen eral Edwards en route.

In stead of going direct to Ch erbourg, as he intended, he might by shortening his visit to Berlin. come direct to London, and after a short visit here, go to High Cliff Castle, see the German Elm peror and embark at South ampton, which is not far from the castle where the Emperor Is to spend his holiday.

ENSLEY'S PAVING
 WORK WEARS END City'S Appearance Greatly Im-
 proved By Change
WORK AT THE ROD MILL
Confidence Is Entirely Restored Under Colonel Bush's Recelvership and Employees May Be Paid In
 Cash Next Pay Day.

Esnsley, November 4-(Special 1.-The Southern Bitulithic company has about completed their contract to pave Avenue and Nineteenth street. The new pave ment adds much to the appearance of the city and being in the center of the busi- ness district and at the street car termi- nals makes a good impression on visitors. Probably no city in the country, cer- tainly none in the south of the age and size of Ensey, can boast of as many miles of sidewalk and as much paving as does the Steel City. It was proposed to extend the pavement of Avenue E to Thirtieth street a few weeks ago, and a strong petition was presented to the City Council to authorize this measure. but the City Council turned 1t down, for which they were rather severely criti- cised. Speaking of this a resident of Avenue E, who opposed the movement, said: The present conditions, financial and otherwise, prove that the City Coun- cial acted wisely in turning down the proposed paving until the present work Is finished. l am not a man to say told you so, nor do l pretend to say l could foretell what was coming, nor could the City Council, but they showed their conservatism and business judgment in not assuming too much responsibility at one time, and they stand fully vind- cated for their action at that time l am not an alarmist, and I fully believe con ditions will soon adjust themselves, but suppose the City Council were advertis- ing for bids today, how many of tho advocates of the measure would favor 1t? rather think petition would be pre- sented to the council asking that bids be withdrawn and the whole matter de- ferred to a later date''
