In the House on the 2d, Con-
gressman Burleson spoke on the
oleomargarene bill, which he op-
posed, contending that it would
seriously injure the cattle and
cotton interests of Texas.

Gov. Sayers has issued a pro-
clamation requesting "all the

Texas has now become the em-
pire state of the south, having
nearly a million more inhabitants
than Georgia, which has hereto-
fore had that proud title. It has
a greater population than all the
New England states combined,
exclusive of Massachusetts. Its
growth in wealth is no less mar-
velous than^its growth in popula-
tion. The discovery and devel-
opment of its oil fields, the vast
prod uction^of cotton, the extent
and constant] increase in railroad
mileage, mark it as one of the
greatestj* and most progressive
states in the Union and the states
and territories adjacent to it
seem to'be sharing itrs prosperity.
Under the term of the resolution
of congress admitting Texas into
the Union the right to divide the
state into five states was accord-
ed. At the present time, if it was
equally {^divided according to
population, it would make five

be little doubt that the President
will side with the Navy depart-
ment, and that branch of his
cabinet. He wiil not hesitate in
his course, because Dewey's po-
sition has been approved with
practical unanimity by the Ameri-
can people; ho will do the stren-
uous thing. It is to be feared
that Admiral Schley made a mis-
take in carrying his appeal to
the President. Ho should have
been contentwith Dewey's strong
endorsement. In that case Con-
gress would likely have taken
the initiative in completing his
vindication in some substantial
and enduring way. No one need
doubt that President Roosevelt
will give his official sanction to
the majority finding of the court
of inquiry, and thereby aid in
perpetuating the infamous clique.

Mr. E. G. Langhammer pur-
chased a car of potatoes Thurs-
day which he will plant in the
Brazos bottom this season. He
will have an acreage of 00 acres
in Irish potatoes. A large whole-
sale house offers to contract for
every potatoe raised in Washing-
ton county at 75 cents per bushel.
Farmers state that indications
are that we will have a fine pota-
toe crop year. The exact aero-
ago to be planted in potatoes in
this county has not yet been as-
certained but it iscertair that the
figures will run up somewhere in
the neighborhood of six or seven
hundred acres, and that it will
take from f jrty to fifty thousand
dollars to move the crop.—Bren-
ham Banner.

Dr. A. B. Couch, a prominent
physician of Houston, tells a Post
reporter that "pneumonia is
neither infectious nor contagious,
but due to atmospheric changes,
which tend to lower the vital
forces; thus, excretion is tempor-
arily suspended and toxic poisons
are retained in the blood, which
would be thrown off by the excre-
tory system if the vital forces
were normal. Hence the ten-
dency towards congestion is a
natural result and congestion of
the lungs means deficient oxidiza-
tion of the blood, suppuration and
breaking down of the lung tissue.
Unless speedily arrested by the
indicated agent death is the in-
evitable result. Unfortunately
we have very few specific reme-
dies for pneumonia, but, thank
heaven, wo have some that never
fail if used judiciously in the be-
ginning. No treatment, howi ver,
can relievo pneumonia after the
lungs become incapacitated to
aerate the blood. Pneumonia
runs its course very rapidly. It
usually passes the danger point
within a week. The great mis-
take most people make is waiting
too long before calling in a phy-
sician."
