MD0NALD'S ROAST.

Elsewhere in today's Herald is pub
Iished the roast" for The Herald
which was indited by w. J. Mcdonald,
the ex-ranger captain, in reply to The
Herald's criticism of the article re-
Gently published in a magazine, which
processes to tell ''The Truth About
Brownsville" being, as the head re-
lates, "a chapter from the memoirs of
Captain Bill Mcdonald of Texas" Be-
ing Away willing to give the other
side a fair hearing, The Herald has
given space to this letter, although it
is in some respects as far from being
correct in its statements as the orig
inal article, which provoked The Her
AIDS editorial. One statement, how
ever, made by Captain Mcdonald does
convict The Herald of having been
mistaken. That is, in reference TO the
soldiers cap, which it was stated he
had taken away from Brownsville and
did not return. The Herald learns
that is was misinformed in regard to
that. as the cap was really returned,
the sheriff having made requisition
for it. In one other respect perhaps
the editorial in The Herald should be
modified That is, in stating that
Capt. Mcdonald resorted to the sub
terfuge of a physicians certificate. OF
disability to avoid coming to testify
before the Cameron county grand
Jury. The Herald did not, of course, in
tend to intimate that the physicians
certificate as to the condition of Capt.
McDonald's health was not true, but
that Capt. Mcdonald resorted to that
means to evade the service, when the
repeated efforts of the sheriff of Cam
eron county to locate him finally sue
ceeded. in order to avoid coming back
TO Brownsville. The Herald does not
doubt that his health was bad,
but it believes that, had he
wished to come back here and give
his testimony before the grand jury,
for the purpose of indicting the negro
soldiers, no physicians certificate
could have kept him from coming,
unless ne had been absolutely unable
to travel AS it was. he was up and
walking about Mineral Wells. and
took occasion to state to a news cor
respondent at the time. that the
grand jury of Cameron county had
made no effort to secure his attend
ance as a witness, although they
knew all the time where he was, a
statement which The Herald then de-
nounced and still denounces as un-
true The letter by Capt. Nc
Donald as published in today's Herald
contains statements that are as much
at variance with truth as those in the
magazine article, and, The Herald
will point them out in tomorrow's is
sue, space for the article not being
available today.

STORM BLOWS
AT GALVESTON
WATER REPORTED AS REACHING
ALMOST TO THE TOP OF THE

Storm Abated by AfternOOn-Wind
Reached Velocity of Fifty to Sixty

To The Herald:

To The Herald:
Galveston, Texas, Sept. IA tor
nado struck this city this morning,
and blew fiercely for time, the wind
reaching a velocity of fifty or sixty
miles per hour The water was re-
ported as having reached within a
foot of the top of the great granite
sea wall by noon. Much uneasiness
was felt here, but the storm finally
abated without driving the water in
to the city, and no very serious dam
age is reported. By late hour this
afternoon, the wind had almost
ceased.

The editor of The Herald is in re-
ceipt of letter from Hon. Clarence
S. E. Holland, president of the In
terstate Inland Waterway. notifying
him of the appointment as delegate
to represent the state of Texas at the
convention of theLakes to theGulf AS
ISOLATION to be held in Chicago Oct.
z to9. While the editor greatly APP
preciates the high honor thus con-
ferred by President Holland, and
would gladly attend the convention,
which will undoubtedly be one of the
most important conventions of the
entire year, yet business reasons
make it impossible for him to do SO.
The Herald will, however, gladly DO
all in its power to promote the great
move which the association has I'M
dertaken. Inland waterway improve
ment is subject in which the entire
nation should be interested. 1t is
gone of such broad significance that
every person who investigates the
matter is impressed with its vast i'm
portance.

WRITES LETTER
To UNCLE JOHN
"6RuNswlcKIAN" SUGGESTS AN
IDEAL METHOD AND is READY
WITH HIS DOLLAR.
Dear Uncle ohm:

Dear Uncle John:
You write well and interestingly, but
! am disappointed and displeaged with
your dissertations, for a number OF
reasons: First and foremost. you
family suggestly only the necessary
remedies for the commercial and in
dustrial redemption of Brunswick from
the bite of that bug that causes tn
sleeping Illness of inertia and indo-
lence to permanently and perniciously
penetrate our population Uncle
John" you should come right to the
point and say to the people of Bruns-
wick the beautiful
BE big. be bread; II you are little
just determine that you win be big;
big with civic pride, big with patri-
otism, love and loyalty for this fair
city that God Almighty made great
a million or more years before Chris
tepher Columbus set forth on his
voyage of discovery. With Brunswick
full of big people with broad ideas
Brunswick will be big. AS long as
Brunswick's people are little Bruins
wick will be little and will not bour-
geon into that effulgence of glory that
God gave as Brunswick's heritage
when he cut and fashioned out of
chaos this most beautiful and precious
of ports"
No more hot air, II you please, I'm
Gle John" but to get down to the
concrete, to hard pan or as the boys
say: Lets get right down to brass
tacks.' love Brunswick well enough
to contribute one dollar each month
to publicity fund that will be ex-
pended in practical and judicious ad-
vertising of Brunswick's advantages
and resources to induce an ever in
creasing tide of homeseekers and in
vestors to this healthful and richly
lowered section of the south. If each
inhabitant of Brunswick would ar
IDENTIFY set his heart on Brunswick
having at the very least twenty five
thousand population in five years and
would work with that, end in view in
1914 Brunswick would for moral
certainty have a population of twenty
five thousand or more.
Now. Uncle john" conversation is
cheap and in this twentieth century
of intense and rampant commercialism
money talks with terribly loud tone.
Down goes my Argentine dollar with
a melodious ring and Uncle John"
will you cover my coin and since you
and do not wish to be selfish let's
invite every man, woman and child in
Brunswick to put their coin with ours.
BrunsWlckian.
