Biographical Sketch ?
By Andrew McBeath
Mr.
P. P. (Posey) Browne.
Browne says: I was born in j
Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Sept. 19. 185®.
My father was a merchant, also own-
ed a plantation, steamboat land-
ing, large ware house and ferry on ,
the Warrior river at Moundville, Ala. ,
| At that time all of the shipping was j
done by steamboats on the river.
I came to Bell county in 1875 and |
worked a year or two on a farm, also i
one season at Ship and Hill's gin at I
Oenaville. Then went to Belton and
clerked for W. J. Venable six years.
We then organized a grocery business
under the name of Browne, Rather &
Co. N. H. Bather now of Copperas
Cove and W. J. Venable now deceas-
ed. In 1888 we sold out, Messrs.
! Bather and Venable retiring from

and worked fjur years for Bentley At

The C. A. scored several telling
points during a really masterful
speech of something like a half an
hour, two cf them at least being
time possible, due 'o the high prices
of feed stuffs. But for the abund-
ance of wheat the cost of keeping
stock wpuld be almost prohibitive.

we hereby gracefully acknowledge.
We stated that 'something liko forty
thousand dollars in delinquent taxes
were overdue and uncollected FOR
this year, the little word "for" hav-
ing been inadvertently inserted by a j
busy linotype operator. The state-
ment should have read to the effect
that forty thousand dollars of de-
linquent taxes are overdue and uncol-
lected this year. Anyway, since the
city attorney states very positively
that he will not collect, or enter suit
for these delinquent taxes, the mat-
ter should make but little difference
to him one way or the other.
The other Telegram statement to
which the C. A. took exception was
contested merely upon a fine point

And as. stated in yesterday's edit-

against almost any other department

Tliouipson-McFadden commission re-
port, on the contrary, that it has
been able to find no evidence incrim-
inating the buffalo gnat, and indicts
the stable fly aa the "most probable
carrier" if the disease is "distributed
by a blood-sucking Insect."
The exoneration of corn food prod-
ucts Is much inore definite and posi-
tive, it will be seen, than the implica-
tion of the buffalo gnat or the sta-
ble fly. Or. Sambon suspccts the ^nat
because cases of pellagra are found in
the countries of Eastern Europe
where that insect "swarms at certain

ican commission does not go quite so
far in its own findings, but laymen
will bo ant to consider the testimony
of Dr. Sambon—that "pellagra was
found where no one ever ate maize"
—as conclusive.
Dr. Lavitider of the federal public
health service confirmed the theory,
already generally accepted, we be-

is curable. "If you remove a pella-

"I found that there had been be-
tween two thousand end three thous-
and Texa? automobiles In Colorado
this summer, and It was this that
opened i j eyes to the need of a
In4..niy from Denver to the Gu'f.
There is no reason why San Antonio
should not get a big portion of this
tourist travel, especially in the winter.
If Texans go to Colorado In the sum-
mer, ere is no reason why Colorado
people should not come to San An-
tonio In the winter instead of going
to California as many of them do now,
Of course, we should have more for
them to do, but this also should be
arranged.
"For example, the people of Colo
rado Springs have Just subscribed sev-
eral thousand dollars for tlu purpose
of holding a big polo tournament to
whldh the leading players of the coun-
try will be invited. The money will
be used to pay the expenses of polo
teams from the East. They plan to
have the tournament extend through
the summer. Why could we not have
something like that for the winter
season? Here again such a highway
would be invaluable.
"From a brief study of a routing of
such a highway, giving due considera-
tion to the topography, centers of
population and general conditions. I
should think that such a highway
should traverse a route approximately
as follows: Starting from Denver and
following practically the route of the
Colorado & Southern railroad, south
through Pueblo and Trinidad, thence
branching southwest along the route
of the Denver & Fort Worth road
through Texline, Amarlllo, Vernon,
etc., to Fort Worth, Tex.

line of the Missouri, Kansas ft Texss

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.—With
enough witnesses desiring to be heard
to consume two or three weeks of
time and requesta for hearings on the
administration currency bill still com-
ing In, the senate today adjourned
until Monday. Today had been set
for hearing protests of New England
bankers against provisions of the cur-
rency bill. The committee will re-
sume on Monday with a continuation
of the examination of Samuel Unter-
myer who spent a part of two days
before the committee this week.
The hearing up to date has devel-
oped a wide range of disagreement
among members of the committee. So
divergent are the views expressed in
the examinstlon of witnesses that
aom« members believe the committee
will be unable to agree upon a bill
built along the lines of the adminis-
tration measure. If the disagreements
continue it is possible that after the
viewa of bank era and buainess men
from all over the country have been
considered, an attempt will be made
to report the bill to the senate with-
out recommendation. In that event,
a series of minority reports would
accompany the measure, each con-
demning different provlslona or sug-
gesting different changes.
Although scores of requests are be-
ing received from prospective wit-
nesses for an opportunity to be hesrd.
Chairman Owen said today the hear-
ings could be concluded by the mid-
dle of next week.
"Every one who haa a right to be
heard can be heard by that time,"
said Senator Owen.
P. A. Druy of Worcester, Mass..
spoke for the oonhtry bankers it New
England. He said that while the
small banks were In favor of some
provlsloifuf the bill the? believed
Its demands too heavy upon them.
Unless some of those were made easier
he said, country banka In Massachus-
etts would find it to their advantage
to surrender national charters and
stay out of the system. The princi-
pal objection, he said, was that coun-
try bankers believed the system would
take away from themselves the con-
trol of part of their capital and would
place it In the handa of a "politically
controlled board."

Temple would pass through Austin
to San Antonio and at San Antonio
connect with a highway extending to
the Gulf coast «t Corpus ChrisU, from
which point a route along the Oulf
beach to Galveston would complete a
"very wonderful and novel circuit.
"A sectffcd possible rotue might be
as follows: Starting from Denver fol-

thence south to Tucumcart, thenee

highway to Galveston and Houston.
"It is no doubt probable that after
reaching the neighborhood of Fort
Worth on the first route, the co-oper-
ation of the communities and counties
would be available to secure the com-
pletion of the highway from that point
to the cnaat, and no doubt the sec-
tion from Denver to the Texas line
could be constructed by public effort.
It is possible, however, that between
the xreet line of Texas snd Fort Worth
on the first route, and between the
Taupe - New Mexico line and San An-

practicable by formation of a cor-

WASHINGTON, Sept. ««.—The
United States department of agricul-
ture haa recently issed as Bulletin 23
of the new departmental series a con-
tribution from the office of public
roads on vitrified brick as a paving
material for country roads.
Brick roads have four distinct ad-
vantages: Durability, easy traction,
ease of maintenance, and good ap-
pearance. The high first cost Is a
disadvantage. The materials used and
the process of manufacture are de-
scribed as well as methods of testing
the bricks. The construction of brick
roads is set forth in detail and the
various steps In the process are illus-
trated. -Especial attention is direct-
ed to the importance of proper engi-
neering supervision.
The appendix gives the method for
inspecting and teatlng paving brick
as recommended by the American So-
ciety for Testing Materials,
