Brownsville Herald: II you saw
man walking about Brownsville Sat
urday wearing a particularly we'll
pleased air, il was probably the we'll
known nursery man, H G. Stlllwell
of San Benito. There are perhaps
more reasons than enc why Mr. Still
we'll should be wearing one OF those

reason is the fact that they are still
feasting on strawberries at his house
strawberries gathered from his
own patch, which have been bearing
steadily for several months Mr.
Stillwel says that he has mace $40
per acre on his strawberries, ana
besides selling that amount has Rad
an that his family could use. He
has a patch of three and one-halt
acres, which was set out last NO
vember. They have produced guam
titles of the most luscious and deli
cious berries, and are still bearing.

advancements in its section of every
crop from onions and eabbages to

THREE NEEDS.

brownsville needs another rail-
-road-needs it badly-needs cOnnee-
ron with the large trunk lines of the
interior of the state. San Antonio
needs equally as much a railroad TO
brownsville or some other point on
the Lower Rio Grande, with the ultl-
mate view, of course, of connecting
with interior Mexican points by
short route. Between San Antonio
and Brownsville lies a vast stretch
of almost virgin territory which
needs a railroad even more perhaps
than either of the two places named.
That a railroad will be built from
San Antonio to supply its need and
-fbe need of the territory named
within the next two years is more
than likely. San Antonio's mer-
chants and capitalists realize their
need of this road. 1t is understood
.on good authority that they have
given assurance that they will pay
a cash bonus of 100000, besides
terminal grounds and right OF way
through the city to secure the rail-
road which Lon c. Hill proposes to
build from that place to Brownsville.
The land owners along the route
(which the road win traverse have
pledged lands worth 100000 for
The road. Brownsville will be re
.uuired to raise $4,000 in order to
secure the road, besides giving right
of way and terminal grounds That
this can be done, cannot be doubted.
brownsville is far better able to give
such an amount today that she was
six wears ago, when the bonus for
the st. Louis, Brownsville and Mex
leo railroad was raised here That
if must be done is a foregone con-
clusion. If by chance the San An
tonic railroad should not be built
TO brownsville, it may be many
long day before another railroad OPP
nortunity comes knocking at our
door.
out of the three great needs
named. grows Brownsville's greatest
chance since she first secured rail
road connection with the outside
world To recapitulat.e: Brownsville
must have another railroad She can
not progress as she should, cannot
compete with any other point in
South Texas for the commercial su-
nremacy which must be hers if she IS
to continue the metropolis OF the
a over Rio Grande Valley, without a
competing line of railroad. San An
tonic must have a railroad to the
Lower Rio Grande The intervening
country must have a railroad to open
it M to the great wave of develop
nent that is now sweeping over
So7th Texas. Out of these three
great needs is sure to grow great
railroad system, and Brownsville viii
have only herself to thank if she
does not become a leading part OF
that system.

PLANS FOR RALLY
THOUSANDS ARE EFFECTED IN
 BIRMINGHAM.
Nearly Score of Influent.aI Men VIII Expose the Fallacies of the Proposed ConstitutfenaI
 Amendment.

Birmingham. Sept. 2S.-(Speeial. )-- Several thousand people will be in Dir- mingham for the rally Saturday even ing when dozen or more prominent speakers from afl parts of the state will tell from platforms in Capital Park why they are opposed to the con- stitutiona1 amendment.
 The advices are that special trains may be needed from several directions in addition to the trai nthat will come up from Montgomery. The railroads large number of people and the rally will excel anything of the kind ever before attempted in Alabama.
 There Is great interest manifested as reports come in that the opposi- ton to the amendment throughout Alabama is becoming stronger every day and counties which the amenders have been claiming are going over to the other side.
 Several of the speakers assigned for the rally in Birmingham have notified the leaders that they will certainly be here. and will be prepared to make ad- dresses on the issue.
 At the headquarters of the Anti-Sa- loon League today the statement was made that progress was being made in the campaign.
 The anti-amenders are looking for ward to the big rally in Birming gham saturday night and the belief is ex- pressed that this will start the cam paign fast and furious. The campaign, say the leaders of the opposition to the amendment, will be the warmest that the State has ever seen.

SETTING NUISANCE
Hawking and Splitting Is Caused by
 Catarrh Germs.

If the local authorities want to stop the disgusting habit of splitting mucous on the sidewalks. they had better>in- struct the people as to the best method of killing the catarrh germs and curing catarrh.
 You can easily tell by reading the symptoms below whether you have ca- tarrh or not:
 Offensive breath. frequent sneezing. discharge from nose, stoppage of the nose, huskiness of the voice, tickling in throat, droppings in throat. a cough, pain in chest, loss of strength, yaria- ble appetite, spasms of coughing, low spirited at times, raising of mucous, difficulty in breathing. loss of vital force.
 E. G. Fowler has sensible remedy (money back if 1t fails) for catarrh, called Hyomei, which is a vaporized air so antiseptic that when 1t is ,breathed over the infiamed and germ-infested membrane, 1t kills all germ life and cures catarrh.
 The price, including hard rubber in- haler, Is only $1.00. and money back if 1t doesn't cure. Extra bottles, 50 cents.
 q have tried almost every catarrh rure on the market without benefit. Have been using Hyomei for one week and feel like new man alreday."--- wm. " Goode. Newark. Ohio. June 21, ianQ

 Division or Time.

Atlanta. Ga. Sept 2s.--A joint de- bate of the tarir by William Jennings Bryan and Senator Joseph ". Bailey. Of Texas. at Atlanta is assured. the meeting to be held some time next month in the new auditorium here.
 Today Senator Bailey wired his ac- ceptance of the formal invitation ex- tended by the Young Mems Democratic League of Atlanta for a joint debate between himself and MT. Bryan. While no reply to the invitation has been re- ceived from Mir. Bryan, advices to The Constitution from Fort Wort. Texas. are to the effect that MT. Bailey wired Mir. Bryan of his acceptance of the in vitation. Incorporating in his message to the former Democratic standard bearer personal request that he. too. accept and fix the date of the meet ing.
 Mir. Bryan will arrive at his home. Lincoln. Neb., tomorrow and is expect ed to formali yaccept the invitation and suggest suitable date.
 When MT. Bryan spoke in Fl Paso. Texas. last week an effort was made to arrange a joint debate between himself and Senator Bailey. At that time he stated that he would not con- slider the matter unless MT. Bailey should make a personal request for such q meeting.
 Now that Senator Bailey has made the personal request" 1t Is believe ed that Mir. Bryan will be only too glad to- meet Mir. Bailey and discuss with him the question. of free raw materials concerning which their respective views are widely divergent.
 The Democratic convention of Texas opposed the plank in the national Democratic platform declaring for free raw material and Senator Bailey attacked that feature of the party's platform on the floor of the Senate.
 MT. Bryan went to Texas about two weeks ago and in number of speeches assailed the attitude of Mir. Bailey on this subject. the latter de- lending his position from platforms in various parts of the state. The de- bates between these Democratic lead- srs have attracted wide attention and .t Is not doubted that when the two rsn meet here in joint debate politi-
