has enjoyed no boom, but steady
growth. It's population has more
than doubled the past ten years.
Palestine offers many opportunities
to men of energy. The town is COM
paratively a young town, yet. as com
pared with Texas history, it is an old
town, and a part of the early history
of Texas. But Texas is young state.
1t is just emerged from the wild and
woolly west" as this section was
once called by the east. Fifty years
have seen a great part of Texas
emerge from a land where the Indian
roamed, and where people were
sparsely settled, living the lives of
the frontiersman, to the position of
empire state of the south. Fifty years
ago the Palestine of today did not ex-
list 1t was a mere settlement of a
few crude houses. There were no
high-priced corner lots, no railroads.

finement.
Palestine has a strong organization
of business men in its Board of
Trade Rooms are maintained where
people can congregate and rest,
where they can get the information
they are seeking and where a secre-
tary is employed who will receive
them courteously. This secretary at
present is MIR. c. A Sterne. who has
lived in Palestine for more than half
a century, and who is one of the best
posted men on the affairs of the city
and county-lands, products, customs,
etc.-to be found in Texas. 1t is this
secretary's duty to answer as fully as
possible all letters received making
inquiry about this city, county and
section of the state, and he will take
pleasure in doing so.
Almost every line of business and
every profession is represented here
and the business people are active
and progressive, as much so as viii
be found anywhere.

part of the state to tidewater at Gal

State Railroad, running from Rusk TO
Palestine. other roads are projected,
and some of them will undoubtedly
be built, among them an interurban

northwest to the gulf, the permanent
survey of which has already been

The city is growing rapidly. 1t has
a fine system of schools (public
schools and many private schools,
free mail delivery, splendid public
buildings, waterworks, electric light
and gas plants, two ice factories, cot
ton compress, cotton oil mill, iron
foundry, furniture factory, box and
crate factory, novelty works, two
daily newspapers, three weekly news
papers, splendid opera house, five
banks. and the general offices and
shops of the International & Great

are extensive, with great payroll

along these lines. Since coming to-
this city Mr. Wilson has become

other things, that he has been forced
into politics-much against his tenn

In conclusion, the Herald takes
pleasure in referring to this well
known and popular lumber company
and giving credit to its philosophical
management for the liberal manner in
which it has and is helping to build
up the city by extending credit and
encouragement to its customers. 1t

is plainly seen in the substantial char

have modern houses of worship.
Some of the church edifies in Pales-

exception, are filled with able preach

Palestine is city of pretty homes.

homes. or as many homes owned by
the people who occupy them. which

the South Texas Lumber Company at
their command, the immense advan-

and these facts explain the smooth

Company has when it comes to meet

The plant of the Palestine Lumber

by the firm of Scott, HasselI and
Rucker. who were succeeded by the

MARKING OUR GROWTH.

Some indication of the steady
growth of Palestine may be gathered
from the fact that almost an entire
new business street, consisting of
several blocks of substantial brick
business houses, among the finest in
the city, has been erected within the
past two years. Oak street two
years ago had very few business
houses on it, and aside from these
few houses and the city hall, was of
little Importance as a business thor
oughfare. 1t was unpaved, and was
generally referred to as back
street Today it is paved with the
finest paving in the state and is lined
solid for many blocks with handsome
new business houses, all occupied.
One of the lots on this street has
been purchased by the government
and will soon be occupied by fed;
eral building,

Palestine is the county seat of An
deTson county. and has a population
of about $4,000. 1t is delightly situat-
ed among a series of beautiful, low,
wooded hills, and is literally embower-
ed by the foliage of forest and orna-
mental trees, rendering it a most
pleasant city in which to reside, and
giving to it an air of repose and quiet
seldom found in a place of so much
activity.
The people of Palestine are refined
sociable and hospitable, and are just
ly proud of their splendid, charming
and growing city.
The city enjoys ample railroad ia
cilities, as it is at the junction of the
southern division of the international

great number of such homes and the manner in
which they are kept up show that Palestine is in

Our AMBASSADOR TO CHINA,

President Taft has selected an
old-time Mckinley campaigner for
American Ambassador to China.
Thus he has again indicated his
natural leaning toward the McKin-
ley type of man as opposed to the
strenuous Rooseveltian reformers of
Independent means and mind.
william J. Calhoun, who should
soon be passing this way to assume
the duties of American Ambassador
at Picking, comes from Chicago,
where he has made reputation as
g successful lawyer, and his partici-
patton In politics has placed him
among the commanding figures Of
Republican politics. He was born
In Pittsburg in 1S4S, but Chicago
and Illinois have been the scenes of
his successes in life.
In 1896 Mr.. Calhoun took up the
cause Of the late President McKin.
ley and did much to swing Illinois
delegation TO the Mckinley column
in the national convention. In 1900
he could have received the Repub-
lican nomination for Governor of
Illinois II he would have permitted
his friends to enter him In the race.

The campaign for cOastwise law
suspension has already had the Of

tories.

DIR. FUNK CALLS TO SAY BOSH.''
Nobody Has Stolen the Anti-Salo0n
Leagues Money-43. 900 saloons Closed.


Some weeks g G.. r. Mabee. who Is
said to have formerly been connected
with the Anti Saloon League. wrote to
to'say that the New York State branch Of
the league had collected several hundred
thousand dollars for which it could not
account. Mr.. Mabee charged directly
that the officers Of the league in this State
had stolen part of the collections and
threatened II Mr.. Jerome did not take
the matter up at once to come on and pre-
himself. Mr.. Mabee was told to bring
on his evidence. but he hasn't come yet.
: Mabee's letter was sent to all the news
papers and yesterday representatives Of
the league called on Assistant District
Attorney Murphy. The Rev. DR.. James A.
Patterson, superintendent Of the New
league. and the Rev. DR.. [. K. Funk
told MIR. Murphy that they were anxious
TO have the s%trictest kind Of an ~investiga-
ton made Of the leagues affairs. The
committee told Mr.. Murphy that Mabee's
charges were all false and that the New
York branch Of the league had never had
in its treasury and had never collected
anything like the amounts named by
Mabee. They said that about the only
thing that Mabee had right was that Mr..
Rockefeller and Mr.. Carnegie were con-
tributors to the leagues fund. Each Of
these men gave 5000 a year, said the
committee. Every penny had been &C
counted for and the books we're open for
inspection. The Assistant District At
torney was also informed that the Anti
Saloon League is in fine shape and that
through it's efforts 5000 saloons we're
put out Of business in the last year.
Assistant District Attorney Murphy
said yesterday that he had heard from
the Rev. Hugh G. Robinson. president
Of the Missouri Anti-Saloon League, and
that DR.. Robinson will be here next week
to tell what he knows about the charges.
