Condition of Texas.

WASHINGTON. D. C., April 24.-~Prelim-
inary figures from the forthcoming bul-
letin pert/lining to National and State in-
debtedness and fundi and Investments
have been given out by Director \V, ,T.
Harris of the Bureau of the Census, De-
partment of Commerce. The bulletin car
Ties information for the 8tnte of Texas,
as well as for the other States and the
United States. The data were compiled
under the supervision of John Lee Coul-
ter. expert special agent In charge of the
inquiry ou wealth, debt and taxation.
The bulletin, which will soou be issued,
will contain statistics for each State for
each year from 1890 to 1913. inclusive, as
far as statistics arc available, and will
also contain details for the year most
nearlv corersponding to 1880. thus making
it possible to show the general movement
during a period of over thirtj years. The
bulletin will show the total debt of the
States as well as many details, such ns the
various classes of outstanding bonds and
special debt obligations to public trust
funds. It will also show the floating debt
and its component o.irrs. 4*nder "Funds
and Investments" will be shown separately
all the different funds, and in each case
cash and securities will be ehown. The
population of the States for each year un
aer consideration will be used, and the
per capita debt (less the sinking fund as-
sets) will be given.
An Inspection, of the tables for Texas in
the bulletin soon to be issued shows that |
only biennial reports were obtainable from
1901 to 1902. There was comparatively
small change in tho bonded indebtedness.
S4,288,(hh» in isiK) declined to $3,978,000 in
191-'. No special d^bt obligations to pub-
lic trust funds were recorded in any year.
The floating debt rea< hed the maximum
amount. $700.oon, in 1895. decreasing and
finally disappearing in HH)-; In 1910, $149.-
000 was outstanding, 'his amouut increas-
ing to $070,000 in 1912.
In the case of funds and investments the
securities increased from iS7.rtW3.00o in 1890 j
to $09/'79.00O in 1912. The cash fluctuated i
naturallv from year to year, rising to
$8,390.oo0 in 1S99. but subsequently falling
to $1,393,000 in 1912. I
No sinking fund assets, as such, were
recorded in any year, leaving the debt
(less sinking fund assets) the same as tb*-
tor.nl debt from 1S90 ro 1912; in 1*80 a
sinking fund of $7,000 w is reported, which
wag insignificant when compared with the
total debt.
Although the debt of the State increased
slightly during the 30-vear period, the nop
ulation increased sufficiently to reduce
the per capita debt.
In 1880 the total debt of Texas at the
close of the fiscal vear. August 31, was
16,<157,000: in 1890 it was $4,238,000. and
in 1912 it amounted to $4,6.*»6,000. The
population of the state increased from
1.592.000 in ls^O to 4,0^6,000 in 1912. being
sufficient to offset tbe increased indebt
edness and bring about a decrease in the
per capita debt. In 1880 the per capita
debt was $3.55; in 1890 it fell to $1.89,
decreasing to $1.14 in 1912.
In contrast with the State of Texas, we
find that taking the entire debt (less sink-
ing fund assetsi for the forty eight States,
the per capita debt according to the latest
report is $3.52, or $2.38 more thau the
per capita debt for Texas. Comparing
the decrease in the per capita debt of
Texas and the forty-eight St.ates for the
BO-year period, we find that $5.48 fell
to $3.52 in the average for the forty-eight
fctates. and $3.52 to $1.14 in Texas.
At the present time about 4.3 per oent
of the total population of the United
States will be found in the State of Texas,
and 1.2 per cent of the total debt (less
sinking fund assets* is attributed to that
State.

With Her on One Important
Question.
Mangham, La.—Mrs. Liza Barber
of this town, who has returned from
• trip in West and Middle Tennessee,
has the following to say: "I have been
on a trip in Middle and Test Tennes-
see where 1 found many ladies using
Cardui, the woman's tonic. While
traveling 1 took great pleasure in tell-
ing what it had done for me—I not
only praised Cardui—but advised poor
.suffering women m take it. I know-
that Cardui cured me and I believe it
Will do the same for other women.
"Some time ago I coufd hardly stand
On my feet, and i had given up ever
having good health. After using two
bottles of Cardui I could tell it was
helping me. and I continued taking it
for awhile. I soon felt as well as 1
ever did, and could do all of my work.
"I shall always praise this great
medicine to every suffering woman. I
think there is no other half so good."
Mrs. Barber woul' have found weak,
ailing women taking Cardui almo'st
anywhere she could have gone, be-
cause Cardui is recognized as the
standard woman's tonic. It has helped
more than a million women back to
health and strength in the past 50
years.

It is therefore Impossible to furnish the

barely sufficient to supply the needs of
the city. It is to overcome this condition
that the council has prepared the new

KNOW IT WELL
Familiar Features Well Known to Hun-

A familiar burden in many homes.
The burden of a "bad back."
A lame, a weak or an aching back.
Often tells you of kidney ills.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak
kidneys.
Here is a San Antonio testimony.
W. F. Bonn, stationary engineer,
1031 North Mesquite Street, San An-
tonio, Texas, says: "My kidneys had
been weak for a long time and when-
ever I caught cold it made me miser-
able. 1 had a dull, heavy ache across
the small of my back and felt tired
and depresyd. The kidney secretions
were unnatural. An acquaintance ad-
vised me to try Doan's Kidney Pills
and I got a supply at Appman's & Ser-
ger'a Drug Store. A few days after
using them I had relief. One bo*
cured me. I have great confidence in
Doan'a Kidney Pills."

the South Texas Progressive League ad-
dressed about fifty of the Mission farm-
ers in the rooms of the Chamber of Com-
merce Tuesday night on the "Unit Mark-

remarks made it plain that he had no In-
terest in the movement other than the gen-
eral welfare of the Valley and a spirit of
philanthrophv. The colonel during his talk
said (hat the results obtained at the Mis
slon meeting on March f> had convinced
him that If a unit marketing system could
he organized, that fair and Just prices
would he obtained for Valley truck. He
did not advocate the taking over of any
of the various selling agencies, not «uy
more than he advocated their elimination.
His talk was directed solely to the co-
operation of the farmer, banker and busi-
ness man In an organization on a unit
basis. He said that it was up to the
farmers to say whether or not they wanted
such an organization and the working out
of the details of such an organization. He
believed that the unit marketing system
«as the salvation of the truck Industry
of this section. Just as It has proven to he
ill the apple and orange sections of the
Tnited States, and that every man, woman
and child in the Valley should he, and are
luteresled.
During the meeting several fanners, In-
cluding Linsday Walters, secretary of the
Rio Grande Coast Association, made short
talks which proved conclusively that such
a marketing system was necessary. A vote
to this effect was unanimous. A vote ns
to the possibility of such an organization
was carried by a large majority A vote
as to how many of the farmers would
stand by such an organization if organ-
ized was unanimous
While the attendance was small, which
was due to the rain, the meeting was very
interesting and a success.
