What's the Matter?

A few years ago we were as
sured that the defeat Of Bryan
and the adoption of the Gold
Standard would assure to the
laboring men plenty of work
and a full dinner pail, and now
a Chicago dispatch of the 18th
inst, reads as follows:-
"Charity workers estimate
that 100000 men are walking
the streets in Chicago today f.
cling starvation.
malcolm Mcdowell, a banker,
and three friends have started
a movement for relief by ser
wing hot coffee and rolls every
night to the unemployed on the
West Side. His quiet method
of helping the destitute has
brought home to charitable as
sociations the need of speedy ac-
ton to prevent scores from dy-
ing of cold and hunger.
"Last night a cold wind whist.
led around the corner of Jeffer-
son and Madison. Half cloath-
ed men shuddered and coughed
as it struck. A few laughed
Historically. Others swore.-
Jefferson street for two hours
had been crowded to the full
length of the block.
"Ten o'clock. A grocery wsg-
on drove at a gallop into the
crowd. Every man raised his
hat and cheered. Malcolm Nc
Dowell's coffee cart drew up to
the curb. Without a word the
mass of men formed into a 81.
lent line five ARREST, ready to
take their turn at the coffee
and rolls.
"The most casual observer
could see these men were rot
professional beggars. God bless
you,' many murmurmed, as they
took the steaming black cup.
Tut, tut, don't thank me.
You'd do the same for me if

San Renito Siftings

To The Herald:
San Benito, Texas, Sept. Ar. A
Conner informs the Herald CORES
pondent that he and Mr.. Purvis, both
of San Benito, will shortly open 9
general commission house here, do
ing a commission and farm imple-
ment business. The company will
use as their Office the brick building
that Mr.. Conner has lately erected.
In addition, as warehouse, they will
build house 5OxS5 on the railroad
right of way next to the Boulevard.
Mr. Conner is one of San Benito's
most enterprising citizens. The whole
of the cotton crop in the immediate
vicinity of San Benito has been pur-
chased by him, and to date the
amount picked is in the neighborhood
of 100 bales. OF course, this does
not include cotton picked near the
river, that is sent to Brownsville
direct, without passing through San
enito, but which is nevertheless
vatered from the company's canal.
Mr.. Puryis, who is San Benito's
first settler, is also an enterprising
man, and one that the town is proud
of.
San Benito is certainly doing well.
80 no inc 70
business houses, its growth is shown
"ipso facto."
Frank Caldwell, that most enter
prising and courteous of land agents,
of the San Benito Land and Water
Company is expected back tonight
from his tour in the North. Now
watch the "Snow Diggers" flock to
San Benito.
The engineering corps of the San
Benito Land and Water Company
has lately had several good additions
made to it in the persons of Messrs.
S. Perry Rast of San Antonio, Mr.
Conn Isaacs. of Rockdale, and Mr.
Scott Brown of San Marcos. The lat
ter two are from the University of
Texas, having attended the last years
term. Mr.. Brown is an old friend of
the Lower Rio Grande Valley, having
worked at San Benito last year.
Miss Matte Gregory and Master
Reda McAtee will entertain San Be
nito society tonight with a party at
their home, the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. A McAtee.

SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 5, 1908.
TIME FOR ACTON.

On more than one occasion pre-
viously, The Herald has urged that a
civic league should be organized in
Brownsville, for the purpose of insur-
ing the progress of the town along
right lines. So far, nothing has been
done in the matter, although several
leading citizens have expressed them
selves very favorably in regard to the
move 1t probably only requires that
some person possessing not only en-
ergy, but intelligence. perseverance
and tact, should take the initiative in
such an enterprise to insure its sue
cess. This is a work which should
enlist the sympathy and support of
every man and woman who has the
best interest of the town at heart.
With the united support of the best
element of our citizenship such a
move can be made a success, and
those constituting that element
should take the matter up and see
that the city falls in line with other
places that are making rapid strides
in the way of progress through the
work of such an adjunct to their de-
velopment.A civic league which would
enlist the sympathy and support of
every person in the town, regardless
Nof race, religion or calling, whose
Sole object would be to work for the
Identification of the town, and for
its Improvement in all ways possible
in the up-building of city, would
do more Yin a short time than can
easily be imagined OF described. 1t
need not be costly organization, but
it should be one that is not afraid to
work, and whose members would be
willing to subjugate all minor differ
ences of opinion to the one object of
promoting the general advancement
of the town. The great things ac-
complished by such organizations ev-
erywhere is enough to inspire the cit
liens of Brownsville to undertake this
great work for their town. Who will
set the ball rolling?

Brownsville Gin
Still Busy-75O
Bales to Date

There has been no decided change
in the cotton market this week, re-
parts Martin Besteiro, the manager
of the Merchants and Planters gin
here. Although the market price of
cotton is rather low for this time of
the year, it still continues to arrive
in sufficient quantities to keep the
gin in operation nearly all the time.
To date this gin has turned out $50
bales. The quality of the cotton still
continues good. A quantity of cot
ton is being shipped here to be ginned
from San Benito by R. A. Conner,
and Mr.. Besteiro reports that in quail
ity it is on an average strict mid
ding, and the percentage running
from 81 to 80.
Cotton seed have fallen about two
dollars within the past few days and
are worth about ten dollars. Mr..
Bseteiro has shipped ten cars of seed
so far this season. At the rate that
cotton has been coming in for the last
two weeks, Mr.. Besteiro expects to
have the gin in operation the whole
of next week.

NOT AN UNNlIxED EVIL.

The cotton planters of Mississippi
and Louisiana, in their annual insti-
tute at Nachez discussed the boil
weevil at length, and said many I'M
complimentary things about it, but
that busy little creature continues its
operations as actively as ever. The
farmers may say and do what they
please about it, but the boil weevil
evidently believes it was created for
the purpose of preventing an overpro-
duction of cotton. and persistently en-
deavors to fulfill its mission
Brownsville Herald.
The boil weevils do not seem to
have done as much damage this year
as usual, and it is a noticeable cir
cumstance that the damage is Iightest
this year in thse sections where for
merly it was heaviest. There are
some who think it is migratory pest,
and that with a favorable season next
year it will entirely disappear from
those sections where it began its
ravages several years ago. The boil
weevil hasn't been an unmixed evil in
Texas. Every pound of cotton it has
eaten up has added somewhat to the
value of every other pound of cotton,
and then it has compelled some men
to diversity who. if the evil had not
appeared, never could have been per-
suaded to do so.-GaIveston News.

The Herald does not blame the Bee
vile Bee for coming to the defense
of Beeville in reply to the article in
The Herald recently in regard to the
rough treatment accorded the
Brownsville boys by some toughs at
Beeville during the recent baseball
match in that town. The Bee article
was shown to the manager of the
Brownsville team. however, and he
resents the counter charge that mem
bers of his team apparently deliber-
ately spiked" three of the Beeville
boys Some members of both teams
were Spiked by men of the opposing
team during the games, but it was
purely accidental, and such often hap
pens in playing baseball. AS to
the Brownsville boys being struck
during the game on Monday, the boys
still stick to the charge, one declaring
that handful of sand was thrown in
his face, another that he was struck
with stick and another with a stone.
Manager Cobolini, who was struck
with the stick, states that the man
who threw the stick came to him af-
ter the game and apologized, saying
that he had done it in the excitement
or roofing, and had not really intend
ed to strike him. Mr.. Cobolini also
states that the Brownsville boys did
not hold the best people of Beeville
responsible, but hat there were some
toughs among the rooters who were
the guilty parties. He also says that
aside from those disagreeable Incl
dents, the team was treated most cor
daily by the best people Of Beeyille,
who invited them to the handsome
club rooms of the business mems or
ganization, and showed them every
courtesy.
