Southern Progress.

In six years, with an increase in
the population of about 2,4O0, 900,
or something more than 10 per
cent, the South has increased the
value of its farm products by S728,-
600, 900, or 81 per cent, and the
value of its manufactures SOL, 000,-
900, or 81 per cent. 1t has added
J, 493, 900 spindles to its cotton
mill outfit, an increase of SIS per
cent, and its mills used in 1906
about 2, 375, 900 bales of American
cotton, or 4S per cent more than
in 1000.
In the six years the South's
annual pig iron production has in
creased by S95 tons, or "a per
cent; its coal production by a.
2O2, COO tons, or 90 per cent; the
value of exports at its ports, S177,-
OO0,O 06. or SO per cent, though it
furnishes more merchandise for
export than it handles through its
own ports. and in that time its
railroad mileage has increased by
II. Al, or nearly % per cent, and
the assessed value of its property
by 81, 400, 900, 900, or nearly 4S
per cent.-From the Manufac-
turers' Record.

Back to the Army Canteen.

No organization of American
women could have more com.
mendable object than the one
preached at Washington whose
purpose is to restore the army
canteen. All the history of the
country fails to furnish such d
sorrowful case of misdirected femi-
nine zeal as that wherein the
Women's Christian Temperance
Union obtained the closing of the
soldiers clubs. The new society,
to be known as the Army Canteen
club, will prosecute its campaign
OH the sound reasoning that the
best interests of temperance were
not served by the i'll advised &C
ton of congress.
1t is inconceivable that the army
officers and all who are not BIASED
by fanaticism would be so unani-
nous in their verdict on this mat
ter if there were room for dispute
as to the facts. These are invariab-
ly shown to be: That the soldier
drinks more than he did at the
canteen; that he frequents low
groggeries and is robbed; that the
esprit du corps suffers by the
scattering of the men from the
posts; and that the percentage of
disease directly traceable to the
abolition of the canteen has increas-
the New York Press.
St. Louis is planning to increase
its industrial output by canning the
smoke cloud and sealing the lid

THE great tide of development
which is sweeping the lower Rio
Grande valley as the result of the
opening of the St. Louis, Browns
vile & Mexico railroad is bringing
new enterprises into Hidalgo
county, as well as Cameron. and
both of these richly endowed
counties will ere long realize the
prediction made by THE HERALD
years ago, that it needed but the
magic wand of capital to transform
the wilderness of brush and chapar-
ral which then existed in this re-
gion into a veritable farmers
paradise.

A Tragedy OF The Range.

S. A. and B. L. Sowell and
John Harmon returned Saturday
night from an eight days hunt
about thirty miles south of Alpine
While out they came upon two
big buck deer with their horns
locked from fighting, one of which
had been killed the night previous
by bear and had one of the hams
eaten away, but the other was still
pretty strong and struggling with
the dogs when they got to it. The
dogs took the bears trail but failed
to overtake it.-Alpine Times.

SOME effort towords simplifying
language is noticeable in Mexico,
IN the change of the name of
Coatzacoalcos to Purito Mexico. D
As this is one of the principal
points on the new Isthmian rail-
road, which, by virtue of being
the shortest railroad across the
Tsthums, except that of Panama,
will probably be much travelled, the
change will be appreciated by the
many travellers going that way.
Another change along the same
line IS that of the name of the
new railroad from "Tehuantepec
National" to Mexican Isthmus
Route" which is perhaps not so
much an improvement as the
former.

SENATOR Bailey's reelection by
such an overwhelming majority
must be most gratifying to him
and his friends. Out of the entire
40 votes cast in both houses, he
received 10Y showing a very small
minority as upholding the fight
against the junior senator or be-
Iieving in the charges against him.
This overwhelming endorsement
of the man whose conduct is to be
investigated in the House may be
taken as evidence that the investi-
cation is not expected to bring out
any facts chat will incriminate
him. It is to be hoped, however,
for the sake of Texas and Mr..
8aiIey's good name, that the in
vestigation may prove that the
charges against him were utterly
false and that the result may be a
unanimous vote of confidence in
his honor and integrity.

ALL WRONG.
The Mistake is Made by Many Browns
Vile Citizens.

Don't mistake the cause OF
backache.
To be cured you must know the
cause.
1t is wrong to imagine relief is
cure.
Backache is kidney ache.
You must cure the kidneys.
A Brownsville resident tells you
how this can be done.
A Sergeant retired U. S.
A., living on Fifteenth St.,
Brownsville, Texas. says: For
several years past 1 had trouble
with my kidneys. 1t took the form
of excessive and too frequent pas
sages of the kidney secretions. I
often had to get up four or five
times during the night to urinate.
I tried different remedies, but
found no relief from any of them
until I got Doan's Kidney Pills
from J. L. Putegnat & Bro. S
drug store. Before I had taken one
box of this medicine the action of
the kidneys had become quite
normal and regular. From this
experience 1 believe that Doan's
Kidney Pills will cure any body
afflicted with kidney troubles.

A Different Spelling of ~Turner."

Apropos to this matter of sim
plified spelling, it was the topic of
conversation at literary gathering
in New York the other evening.
There was serious and emphatic dis
cussion for some time when at last
one of the company very solemnly
inquired if any one present could
pronounce the word "phthologn-
yrrh." There was much question
ing, much repetition of the con-
glomerate mass of letters; then it
was given up. 'Simple enough"
declared the propounder of the puz-
zle. ut spells turner Don't you
see? Phth is pronounced t, as in
phthisic; olo is pronounced ur, as in
colonel; gn is pronounced n, as in
gnat, and yrrh is pronounced er, as
in myrrh." Amid shouts of laugh
ter that word which nobody could
pronounce was finally pronounced
by all to be the very best argument
Of the evening in favor of simpi-
fed spelling.-New York Times.

A good deed is never lost; he
who sows courtesy reaps friend
ship, and he who plants kindness
gathers love; love bestowed upon
a grateful mind was never sterile,
but generally gratitude begets re-

GENEVA, April 0.-Marie Fassnauer, tho
Tyrolean giantess, has just past through
this section en- route to London. She Is
twenty-seven years of age, eight feet In
height is nearly $50 inches around the
chest and her dresses require three times
the ordinary material.
According to the reports here a fifty
horsepower three-ton lorry has been ar
ranged for the express purpose of conveying
her from the Victoria station to lodgings
near the London Hippodrome, where she is
to appear in the near future.
Her great grandfather was giant. but
her. brothers and sisters are all of normal
height and weight. She is practically
vegetarian and, like most of the Tyrolese.
very deyout.
