Editor and proprietor.
Farmers can work in the field
twelve months in the year m this
lower Rio Grande valley.
It does look like folly to say
nothing of unnecessary expense to
thd state to try a man and sen-
tence him for horse-theft when he
is under indictment for murder at
the same time. It would appear
more reasonable to dispose of the
more serious charge first.
The cabbage crop in some of the
coast counties has been almost
mined by the untimely rains this
spring but tho year is only begun
and there is plenty of time for the
cabbage growers to raise other
crops which the abundant moisture
now in the ground will insure.
The Corpus Christi Caller takes
up the cudgels vigorously against
the proposed amendment to the
state fish and oyster law which
was denounced by The Herald
recently. It does not seem probable
that the bill will become a law at
this session of the legislature and
those members who are posted on
the conditions in tho coastal region
of the state should see that it is put
to sleep forever.
The noble efforts of the Daughters
of the Republic of Texas to preserve
tho historic Alamo mission build-
ing in San Antonio should be
heartily supported by every Texan.
"Tho Daughters have lately under-
taken to purchase the land adjoin-
ing the Alamo which will cost
them $75000 for purpose of
removing the mercantile houses
5iow occupying it in order to
"beautify and make more appro-
priate the surroundings of that
hallowed spot. There are few coun-
tries whose history contains so
grand and glorious a chapter as
that which tells of the Fall of the
Alamo in tho beginning of Texas'
fight for independence when the
inmortal Travis Bowie Crockett
and Bonham with their little band
of men laid down their lives
for freedom's sake. It has been
poetically written: "Thermopylae

It rthe scene of nhis noble
sacrifice; the spot made sacred by
the blood of the sublimesUheroesof
all American history that the
Daughters of tbeA Republic are
struggling to preserve. That they
inust succeed: .cannot-' be doubted;
for Texas would prove itself craven-
indeed unworthy of one. drop of
the blood shed by those noble pa-
triots should it fail to respond to
such a cause. Every worthy child

entirelyIjnnecessary.
f It is entirely unnecessary for The
Brownsville Herald to go into
details to correct the malicious and
false reports about the fertility of
the soil the supply of water the
cheapness of land and the general
topography of the country along
the Rio Grande from Brownsville
to Rio Grande City. Those fellows
in Eastern Texas just as well declare
that the valley of the Nile is not
fertile and not ' susceptable of
irrigation and that overflows are
frequent and disastrous. When
the Rio Grande overflows it fills up
the resacas from which comes the
supply of water of outlying dis
tricts. Alice Echo.
Hidalgo Happenings.
From the. Advance March 29.
The abundant rainfall this season
has encouraged all the ranchmen
m the back part of the county to
do much planting. Mr. Sprague at
La Coma has 250 acres in cotton
and 100 acres in corn and it is
estimated that about 1000 acres
will be planted in cotton in the
back part of this county this
season.
Mr. John Closner our enter
prising shenlf and planter has
lately fitted up his residence with
acetyhne lights and is now having
a well bored on his place "under
the supervision .of Mr. Gill.
County Judge R. A. Marsh re
turned Thursday from a partial
inspection tour of the county
schools. It was his intention to.
visit all the schools in the county
but he was forced to abandon the
idea on account of bad roads and
wet weather. He found everything
in the back country in fine shape
and the rancheros are nil jubilant.
Everybody is planting cotton corn
and beans; and the cut-worm
epidemic which has occasioned
some loss along the river doos not
seem to prevail to so serious an
extent out in the sand. By a rough
estimate provided no unforseen
calamity intervenes there will be
1500 bales of cotton made in Hi-
dalgo county this season and Mr.
W. F. Sprague of La Coma is fully
prepared to handle it all.

(Jnly think of it! fceventeen tons
of cotton seed from Spragtie's cin
has been distributed among the
planters in this county this season.
The cotton gin at Mr. Sprague's
La Coma ranch is in perfect work-
ing ordet and it is estimated that
from 1000 to 1500 bales will be
ginned out this season.
TRAGEDY AVERTED
"Just in the nick of time our lit
tle boy was saved" writes Mr. W.
Waikins of Pleasant . City. Ohio.
'Pneumonia had played sad havoc
with him and a terrible cough set
in besides. Doctors treated him but
he grew worse every day. At length
we tried Dr. King's New Discovery
for Consumption and our darling
was saved. He's now sound and
well." Everybody ought to know

"" sr. . .4---
Pained" Celery Compound is to
day the most reliable and most suc-
cessful spring medicine in the world?
The present enormous demand is
the best pi oof of its popularity. It
has almost entirely displaced the
common remedies in pill and liquid
forms once so common and in many
respects so dangerous to health.
Paine's Celery Compound has
been marvelousty successful for the
simple reason that in every in-
stance it accomul'shesmo'e than is

claimed for it. It is the one spring
remedy that physicians and the
best people indorse. Men and wo
men of wealth and high social pos
ition able to command the services
of the most eminent medical men
use Paine's Celery Compound in
springtime having full confidence
in its virtues. The experience of
tens of thousands has proved that
it is wise to use Paine's Celery Com-
pound in the early spring days for
the banishment of rheumatism
neuralgia dyspepsia nervousness
and insomnia. Paine's Celery Com-
pound is par excellence the great
blood purifier; it increases the con
structive capacity of the vital fluid
nourishes the tissues and builds up
the bod-. Mr. W. II. Ladd of Al
lisona Tenn. says:
"For several weeks before I com
menced using Paine's Celery Com-
pound I had a tired and all gone
feeling my blood became impure
and I was daily losing flesh.. One
of my friends advised me to use
Paine's Celery Compound and I
got relief from the first bottle. Iam
glad to recommend it to all suffer- j
ing humanity. I believe it has pro
longed my life. I am now seventy-
two years old."

CORPUS ON THE LINE
Of the Longest System of -Railroad
Ever proposed. Carnegie
Backing Project.
Corpus Christi Sun.
The editor of the Sun was in San
Antonio last Saturday Sunday and
Monday. While there he was in-
formed by a prominent railroad of-
ficial that plans had been perfected
for connecting New York City with
Buenos Ayres South America by a
great railroad merger consisting of
a number of trunk lines. Half of
the route is composed of systems
already in operation while the
other half is to be built. Andrew
Carnegie's millions are behind this
mammoth deal. The line will be"
the longest railroad ol earth. And
what is of vital importance to us
is the fact that Corpus Christi is
the only city on the Texas coast
that has been placed on the map by
the projectors of the road.
Watch next week's Sun for more
data regarding the Intercontinental
Railroad. But right here we will
make a quotation from Geo. F.
Lupton: "If any one has an idea
of leaving Corpus Christi he had
better abandon it. For I tell you
something big is about to turn up
for the old town."
