BROWNSVILLE NEEDS.

First and foremost, Brownsville
needs a sewer system and proper
drainage. The city council can fill
this need, within a comparatively
short time, if it will give it the con-
sideration it merits.
A large and thoroughly up-to-date
tourist hotel which will attract the
wealthy winter tourist and make
Brownsville popular winter conven-
ton center. This will probably be
supplied as soon as the sewer system
is built.
Among other important wants here
that offer very fine opportunities for
capital are the following:

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER u, 1908
4 POWERMTH TIE LIND.

At eight o'clock this evenin, at the
Federal Court room inBroBnsville the
Lower Rio Grande Valley Commercial
Club will hold one of the most not
able meetings ever yet held by that
body. Since its last meeting, there
have been added over hundred and
fifty new members to this organiza
ton, which now comprises the great
,er part,of the leading men of the two
counties of Cameron and Hidalgo,
men of intelligence and of force. men
of standing and influence. These men
banded together as they are for the
purpose of promoting the develop
ment and general welfare of this
great Lower Rio Grande Valley, con-
stitute one of the most important and
influential bodies in the entire state
of Texas The possibilities of such
an organization are limited only by
the energy and determination of the
membership. 1t can easily be seen
that, for influence and effective results
this organization may be made one of
the most powerful and wide-reaching
of the entire state of Texas. Its OPP
portunities are co-equal with the vast
possibilities of this valley. The Lower
Rio Grande Valley Commercial Club
has within its hands the power to
make this section heard throughout
the entire country. This valley of
vast possibilities is destined to be-
come a small empire in commercial
supremacy, and the Lower Rio
Grande Valley Commercial Club can
hasten the achievement of that great
destiny, If it grasps and improves
the great opportunity that now lies
within reach. IL its component parts
consent to become welded by unity
of purpose into one great and power
full body.
As Col. Alba Haywood aptly puts
it, divided we stand, but united we
stand a great deal stronger" You
cannot defeat the ultimate progress
of every part of the valley, but its
development will be a great deal sur
er, more satisfactory and permanent,
If accomplished by united and har-
monious action of all its parts as one
great unit, than if we each waste
our time and efforts knocking each
other and pulling against each other.
This recent great revival of interest
in the club, which has brought about
such splendid results, is surely des-
tined to work good for this entire sec
ton. The meeting tonight will be a
great get-together-fest. Every new
member has promised to come and to
bring an idea for the betterment of
the Lower Rio Grande Valley, and it
is expected that all of the older mem
GERS will do likewise 1t ONLY remains
for the entire membership to do their
part, seconding as it deserves the
splendid work of the committee that
was appointed to solicit new mem
bers, and to whose personal efforts
is due the immense gain since the
last meeting of the club, this meeting
viii be one of the greatest ever held
in Brownsville.

The United States Golf Association
has forwarded to the Royal and An
cient Golf Club a bundle of desired
changes and suggestions in the rules
governing the game. While the de-
mands OF the association, as an asso-
citation, have been mild. the sugges-
tons made by individuals have been
numerous. and doubtless will occupy
much of the time (of the waste-paper
basket Of the Royal and AGc.ents.
Growing dissatisfaction with the rules
on the part of Americans has become
quite pronounced. II was in Septem-

amendments. The revised rules are

New Trouser Styles.

New York. Feb. 17.-Merchant
tailors from all over the country are
on their way to their homes after
three days session in New York of the
Merchant Tailors' National Exchange,
a meeting at which the styles for
mems wear are each season decided.
While no hard and fast rules are laid
down by the exchange, the predomin-
ating opinion of the tailors of the
country is secured, and on that opin-
ion are styles based. Individuality
was the keynote of the meeting, and
while predominating opinion is rec
ognized as the standard for the COM
ing year, it was plainly stated that the
opinion of London and Paris was in
no way to be taken into consideration.
Predominating opinion has this to
say about masculine garments for
spring and summer:

Louisville, Feb. 17.-Former State
Senator ]. Campbell Cantrlr, presl-
dent of the Kentucky union of the
American Society Of Equity, the as
ISOLATION of tobacco growers of Ken
lucky, Ohio, Indiana and West Vir-
ginia, said last night, in discussing
the tobacco situation. that the organ
ization of which he is the head has
sold during the past week 5000, 900
pounds OF the 1906 crop Of tobacco
at the price listed by the association.
and that this price was twice what it
was a year ago, when the tobacco
was pooled by the farmers. He said
the association had also received an
offer for 10000. 000 pounds at a
price slightly under the listed price,
but that the offer had been rejected
because the officers Of the association
felt they sufficiently controlled the
situation to compel the American To-
baooo company and Its allies to pay
the prices asked for tobacco.
Majority FayOrs NO Crop" Pian.
Senator Cantriil said the association
now has between 1GO,O0O,OOO and
10000. 900 pounds of the 1906 and
1907 crops in the pool and that until
ali of the former crop had been Sold
not pound Of the last crop would
be disposed Of, and that with the elimi
nation of crop Of tobacco this yea.
IL would be an easy matter to dis
pose Of all of the tobacco in the pool.
He said that the entire acreage in the
hurley tobacco district of Kentucky.
Indiana, Ohio and West Virginia was
about 140. goo acres, and that little
more than 10000 acres had been
pledged by owners in favor of the no.
crop plan this year, and he believed
that by the expiration of 80 days fully
100000 acres would have been signed
up. Senator Cantrill said further
that the owners Of fully $4,000 acres
had pledged the association that they
would not raise a crop of tobacco this
year, but had not signed a contract
to that effect and would not but that
under no circumstances would these
men break even a verbal contract.
