Yesterday The Brownsville Herald issued q warn
ing that the census count was comparatively slow in
Harrington, where it is hoped to show $4,000. It I'M
derstands that only 1890 have been counted.
There was but one purpose in setting forth those
figures at that time. That was to warn the citizens of
Harlingen to assist in this work. The Herald has been
carrying accounts of estimates of the progress of the
census with the sole idea of getting every man, wom-
an and child in the Valley counted. Especially does it
want Cameron county, its own county, to show as
large a total as possible. 1t intends to aid in every
possible manner in getting all the people counted
everywhere in the Valley.
The fact that the count has been omewhat slow
in Harlingen is not the fault Of the chief enumeration,
but rather the misfortune of one or two enumerators.
When the people know, they will assist. Mr.. Bennett
is not only a hard worker but is efficient.
