born accused Mr.. Benson of pretending
to he as good as Shakespeare, which is
ordinary rubbish. The first moral of this
particular squabblc seems to be that It
ls lust as easy to hate your neiehbor
about unmpor ant things as TO hate him
about important things. Socularists say
that mon have quarrellcd about the Bible
but II seems thcy would have ouarrell-
cd ouite AZ cruelty about an English
grammar. Men have complained that
ta,c French revolution brought strife IN
TO the world but people would have
striven even more bitterly about mere
smelling. AS revealed in tles particular
controversy. the possiblites seem really
infinite and awful Jones and Smith can
dirfcr about whether one ought to say
compared to" or compared with" And
the ultimate result may ho that Jones
compares Smith to- monkey. and Smith

PROCEEDINGS OF THE
COMMISSIONERS COURT
Surveyor AmthOr Reports Re-survey
of County Line and Presents Bill
Drainage Petition PrOba-
bly, Presented.

At the morning session of the coun-
ty commissioners court, County Sur
veyor A. w. Amthor presented his
report on the re-survey of the line di-
viding Cameron and HidalgoCounties,
which was authorized by the last
terms of the commissioners courts
of both counties. The new line, &C
cording to Mr.. Authors survey,
takes a little land off the lower part
of Hidalgo county and adds it to
Cameron, while, on the other hand,
it takes about an equal amount off
the upper end of Cameron county
and adds it to Hidalgo. The result
ing line is much straighter than it
was formerly Mr. Amthor also pre-
scented his bill for his services.
amounting to s2,5SO.6O, which ex-
pense is to be borne equally by the
two counties. The bill was approved.
The quarterly report of the finan-
cial condition of the county, which
was presented by County Treasurer
E. L. Hicks Monday. was approved
by the court. 1t shows a ba:ar OF
$40, 900 on hand.
The court will probably be in ses-
sion two days longer, as there is still
considerable business to be transact
ed.
This afternoon, the report of the
committee that was appointed to re-
district the election precincts of the
county was to be presented. County
Attorney E. X. Goodrich and County
Surveyor A. w. Amthor constituted
this committee.
Another important matter slated
to come up this afternoon was the
the presentation of petition for the
Ycreation of a drainage district in
Guiding a large area contiguous to
Brownsville, and to order a survey
of the territory included in the dis
trict in order to determine the cost
of a drainage system and. with a
view to ordering an election for the
issue bonds for that purpose. Over
sixty land owners have signed this
petition.

A PLEASANT BIRTHDAY PARTY.

The seventeenth anniversary of
the birthday of Miss Gertrude Scriv-
ner was the occasion of a very pleas
ant gathering at the home of her
aunts, Mrs. Best and Miss Grace
Clark on Adams street last evening.
The time was passed in playing va
rious games and other social pleas
ures. Refreshments, comprising ice
cream and cake, were served About
dozen young people enjoyed the
hospitality of Mrs. Best and Miss
Clark. All joined in wishing for
Miss Gertrude many happy returns
of the day.

The Brownsville public schools for
the coming year will be under charge
of Prof. T. P.Barbour, who was ap-
pointed by the board of trustees at
the meeting which was held Monday
evening at five O'Clock in the Offices
of Judge James B. Wells.
In the absence of the president o:
the board, Hon. ]. l. Kleiber, DR.. S.
H. Bell, the vice president presided.
Besides DR.. Bell, the following were
present: J. B. Sharpe, A Wayne
Wood, A. Ashheim and A. b. Cole.
All of these were the new members
of the board who were recently APP
pointed 10y the city council. They
qualified * this meeting. As soon
as the Session was regularly opened.
the resignation of Hon. ]. l. Kleiber
as a member of the board was pre-
serted to the board and duly accept
cd.
The new board was then organized
by the election of DR.. S. H. Bell
by the election of the following Off
GERS: DR.. S. H. Bell, president; ].
B. Sharpe. vice president; A. Wayne
Wood, secretary; A. Ashheim, treas
urer.
A considerable amount of mail
which had collected claimed the at
tention of the board for some time,
after which the subject of appointing
a superintendent of the public schools
for the ensuing year was considered.
There were about nine applications
on file, all of which were read. Mr..
Cole then placed in nomination for
the place Prof. T. P. Barbour of this
city, and he was unanimously chosen
for the position.
Owing to the fact that the ap-
portionment of the public school fund
has not yet been made, and that it
was not yet known how much money
will be available for the ensuing year,
the appointment of teachers was
postponed. until a future meeting,
which will probably be held Satur-
day.
The subject of increasing the sal
aries of the teachers was discussed,
and all present were agreed that the
salaries should be raised. 1t was de-
cided that such would be done, pro-
vided the amount available for the
school proves sufficient to justify it.

PRESSING NEED.

One of the most pressing needs in
Brownsville today is dwellings to
rent. The demand grows continually,
and there are dozens of people on the
hunt for cottages nearly all the time.
There never was a better opportunity
for such an investment than that Of
fered at Brownsville, and it seems
strange that No one has yet taken the
matter into serious consideration for
the immediate future. True, there
are some who talk of building rent
cottages, and who fully intend to do
so-at some future date. But the man
who will build them right now is the
man that the situation demands.
What is to become o fthe many famil-
les now here looking for homes, and
of the many more who are sure to
come within the next few months?
Are they to wander, houseless and
homeless, footsore and weary, look
ing for some place in which to live,
until finally they leave in despair for
other places where they can find
houses? Even the most short-sighted
can see that the town is bound to suf-
fer by such conditions.
There are plenty of people here no
doubt who have money lying in the
banks drawing four per cent perhaps
This same money, if put into cot
tages, would easily bring the owners
ten per cent or perhaps more on the
investment. And the persons so in
vesting their money would not only
be helping themselves, but benefiting
the entire town as well. The amount
of work furnished for carpenters.
brick layers, painters, etc, and the
sums spent for building material,
would put the money into circulation
and help trade in all lines. Then the
furnishing of the new homes thus
provided would add that much more
TO the prosperity of the local trade.
And the owner of the houses would
reap the benefit by collecting rents
every month, amounting to three or
four times the amount the same
money brings him at interest.
Even though our local capitalists
may not need the additional profit on
their money, they should be inspired
by a desire to benefit the town. Pub
lie spirit should prompt them to add
as much as they can to the promotion
of the Greater Brownsville which we
All hope to see built within the near
future
