part in a controversy regarding rates for advertising in The Browns

would expire on June l. 1880, and was entitled to one more months
benefit on this contract.
This matter has been under discussion with advertising represent

convinced me that this contract expired April J. 1880, and now 7
have decided to resume advertising in the Herald at the new card rate
which Is 500 inches per month at the rate Of Soc per column inch
! have based my decision on the fact that the Herald Is the Oldest

In all fairness to MI. Rel Of the Herald. / must say that only his

CENSUS WAR
CAUSES hike
In COUNTING
Rival Valley Towns
Feverish AS End
OF Period Nears
Especial to The Herald,


HARLINGEN, May S-The usual
keen rivalry between Harlingen and
San Benito has been sharpened to
its finest edge by reports reaching
here today that the latter city is
maintaining a sizeable lead in the
census count.
With only three days remaining
before the census deadline. many
businessmen and others Of both SEX
es were taking time out from their
usual labors today to check and re-
check each home and business house
in their home towns.
The drive was conferred in the
Mexican settlements in each city
with much success Wednesday in
the forenoon and afternoon after
a light rain temporarily halted
tomato picking ard sent Mexican
laborers back to their homes.
Mexiuuito residents are being
visited by picked ne and women
whom they know best. in whom
they have confidence. and who
speak their language. Enumeration
work IN both settlements has been
made difficult due to fear Of i'm
migration law difficulties on the
part of many Of their inhabitants.
They refuse TO believe, many Of
them, that the census count has
no connection with any survey by
immigration authorities and that
all replies are confidential.
While official reports were lack
ing it was rumored on many sides
here today that Harrington is how
ering around the 10000 mark and
that San Benito has passed It. The
reports. OF course. are Only guesSes
but they have served TO make COM
potion between the two cities the
warmest In a long time.
