that We may know by whom the
items were sent. Every citizen
of Aransas Pass, who so desires,
can he associate editor of the Pro
gress by sending or bringing to
us any items of news that they
may know of. It is impossible
for the editor to gather all the
news and local happenings in our
city, and our friends can greatly
assist and do us a favor by send-
ing news items to us. We prefer
mk to use phone for news gather-
ing, as names are often confus-
ed and printed incorrectly by
that method. Written items are
preferable. A box similiar to the
one used at postoffice has been
placed at the front door of the
Progress office, and friends can
drop news items or orders for job
printing into it, if they prefer.

In anticipation of the large
amount of cotton business that
will be done here within the next
month, the Aransas Pass Channel
<& Dock Company has sent to
Galveston for four expert cotton
checkers.
It was reported at the head-
quarters of the Well-Fargo Ex-
press Company, in New York
City, that it would be necessary
to put in extra equipment for
the handling of the season’s fish
and oyster catch on the Texas
coast. Fish houses in South Tex-
as are receiving orders daily from needy, to refuse to do so, especi-
ing thick and fast. In the rush
of business some things of impor-
tance are liable to be overlook-
ed. The under dog is not apt to
get much sympathy. Occaision-
all}'- some poor fellow gets down
and out, either by sickness or
otherwise, and in the rush of
keeping up the multiplied inter-
ests that are fast accumulating
in this, the latest born port of
Texas, men, yes good men, are
liable to forget that they owe
something to their fellows. An
associated charities should be or-
ganized in order that no man,
woman, or child be allowed to suf
fer for the absolute necessities of
life. These matters should be
taken hold of systematically by
au association of this kind, so
that not only the needy be cared
for, but that the city may not be
imposed upon by fakirs claiming
to be in need, with well filled
pockets and fake credentials. This
later condition has had more to
do with the deserving being turn-
ed away by charitable people than
anything else,and is causing those
naturally disposed to help the
tilde, and 30 degrees south is pol-
luted with them.
The hopeful thing about the
disease in that, contrary to the
prevalent opinion, the cure is al-
most as simple as the polution.
This, except in extreme cases, is
made by a dose or doses of thy-
mol, following and followed by
epsom salts. The thymol expells
the worms.—Beaumont Enter-
prise.

where a person upon whom a
charitable act has been bestow-
ed, proves to be in better condi-
tion financially than the person
from whom the kindness was re-
ceived.. An associated charity
organization is needed in Aran-

good people will not overlook thi
fact
Attention is directed to the an-
nouncements of candidates of the
Independant party appearing in
another column of this issue; and
especial attention is called torthe
faet that three of the candidates
on this ticket are citizens of Aran
sas Pass: Messrs, Gile, James,
and Cole. We are in better posi-
tion to speak in behalf of the nom
nees at Aransas Pass, knowing
them as we do, to be well qualifi-
ed,and if our friends up the coun-
ty are as well fitted for office as
the nominees from Aransas Pass,
they are all worthy of the posi-
tions to which they aspire.
We are pleased to note that the
county officials have commenced
work on the county road leading
from Ingleside to Aransas Pass.
San Patricio county is given cred
it for having as good roads as
any other county in Southwest
Texas, and too much credit can-
not be given our county officials
for bringing this condition about.

tells
Mr. William Phares Cockran,
special writer for the Pan-Ameri-
can Magazine, who has written
a series of articles on the upper
gulf coast cities, and is this month
covering portions of the lower
gulf coast, spent a day in Arnsaa
Pass during the week, and in re-
sponse to a question put by the
Progress editor, expressed him-
self as follows:
“It will take just three things
to make a real city here: some-
thing to ship, a harbor through
which to ship and a place to sell
it. You have two of these, or
will have within a week or two
when your harbor is opened. For
20( miles up the coast and 400
miles down the coast there is now
no other harbor sufficient for any
but shallow draft vessels. The
first of these items, it must be
the concern of your real estate
men and promoters to supply
You have undoubtedly more un-
developed tillable acres than any
other existing deep sea port.
Our mission is to supply the .
third factor—to aid in finding a
market for your produetts. 40,-
000,000 people, very few of whom
even to compete with you in the
things you can produce, but who
produce an entirely different class
of articles, are just to the south
of you—closer on an average—
in freight dollars than many of
the Texas counties. When Pan-
American Magazine invades a sec-
tion that is evidence that it’s ed-
itors believe that section has a
world-power possibility at its
door.

Aransas Pass, September 7th to

Quite a number of communica-
tions have been received from
doctors this week, desiring infor-
mation with a view of locating in
Aransas Pass. To these we re-
ply that there is so little sickness
here that one doctor could attend
to all practice and then not do a
rushing business: Most people
in ill health come here to get the
benefit of the delightful climate
and salt water baths and the gen-
eral rule is after having taken
several plunges in the briny deep
and filling their lungs with the
delightful salt water zephyrs,
they have no further use for the
services of the doctors.

oome home truths about the hook-
worm and the havoc that it is
bringing.
“The hookworm in an intestin-
al parasite—a worm about one-
third of an inch long when it is
grown. When of microscopic size
it enters the body, generally thru
the skin of the feet because the
feet come in contact with it in po
uted soil. The female worms in
the body give forth an incredi-
ble number of eggs, which hatch
when deposited on the soil, and
while yet invisable to the eye en-
ter the feet. Thence they make a
long journey through the body
till they reach the small intes-
tines to which they cling and
give forth a poison, which pro-
duces the disease, and. lay more
eggs and thus repeat the endless
round of their parasitical life.
