BROWNSVILLE, Tex., Aug. 18.—The
citizens here are deeply resentful that no
attention has been paid to their repeated
appeals to State and National officers
frir aid, and the removal of negro troops.
At the citizens' committee meeting to-
day great Indignation was expressed
against State officials for their seeming
indifference. Further messages were
sent the President, the Governor and
United States Senators.
Following Is the message to the Presi
dent, the others being practically the
fame:
"Brownsville, Tex., Aug. 18.—To Hon.
Theodore Roosevelt, President of the
United States, Washington, D. C.: We
appeal to you again in our great neces-
sity. Our position is misunderstood. We
cannot convince our women and children
that another outbreak may not occur at
any time. Their condition is deplorable.
They will scarcely venture out of their
homes, and only feel safe there by our
maintaining a heavy guard and patrol of
armed citizens every night.
"We know that the accidental dis-
charge of a firearm, any overt act of an
excited citizen, and citizens are fearfully
excited, would precipitate upon us the
whole negro force at Brownsville. We do
not believe that their officers could re-
strain or control them. There are only
five officers present, and the conse-
quences would be fearful loss of life and
probable destruction of our city.
"Many of our citizens have removed
and are removing their families else-
where.
"A Texas town should not be left un-
aided In this condition. We demand the
immediate removal of these negroes from
our city and we ask you to so order.
Please answer.

WOULD DEVELOP
LANDS CLOSE TO
SAN ANTONIO
Business Men Suggest That More
Attention Be Given Lands
Wear City Limits.
BETTER IMPRESSION
WITH VISITORS
While the business men of San Antonio
have been spending money for the de-
v«lopment of Southwest Texas, according
to the opinion of W. C. Rigsby, they
have been neglecting the development of
the country close to San Antonio.
Since San Antonio has become tho
headquarters practicallv fill the hom^-
seekers that come to Texas from the
North he suggests that San Antonio
peoplo make tho country outside the city
limits as attractive as possible. The
first thing homeseekers and other vis-
itors do on coming to San Antonio is to
travel out on the number of roads lead-
n^r out of the city. Many are disap-
pointed at not being able to find agricul-
tural conditions better than they are.
Mr. Rigsby said yesterday:
'San Antonio business men have will-
ingly responded to the call for funds to
advertise Southwest Texas in the North
and East, and the results are most flat-
tering. On all of the railroads East,
West and South tho settling of the coun-
try is progressing more rapidly than
most any of us had hoped for, and the
development will certainly result In
great benefits to the city. Nearly all of
the sales of these lands are being con-
summated by San Antonio people ^r
through them and their agents, and thlJ
city is, of course, the headquarters f; r
all of this development, therefore most
all of the homeseekers and investj»s
make their headquarters here.
"In many cases they go out into the
country surrounding the city to look at
the soil, crops, etc., and they are often
astonished at the wonderful lack of
development of the lands surrounding tho
city.
"Last Sunday I took a drive out one of
our beautifully macadamized roads,
thinking that I would get a look at the
growing and maturing cotton. Tho road
v/as perfect and the soil as good as can
bo found anywhere, yet I drove for five,
miles without seeing a stalk of cotton,
t'.nd the only land that had any appear-
ance of an effort at cultivation was a
small patch of corn with weeds and
grass as high as the fence and one John-
son grass hay field of considerable size.
The balance of these fertile lands is
covered with mesquite and Is grazed by
ti few cattle in some places, and in others
there is nothing at all.
"How are we to get the benefits of
these splendid roads unless the lands are
put in cultivation?
"You can drive out most any of them
for six or seven miles and find the same
conditions as described above, excepting,
of course, the irrigated gardens south
r.nd southwest of the city and a few
good farms on the. Salado. There 1 a
enough of these idle lands surrounding
the city within almost walking distance
to support 1500 or 2000 families and pro-
duce $1,000,000 worth of cotton and that
much more in other products. The city
furnishes a ready market for everything
tho farmers would raise, and these lands
\sould add greatly to our supply of fruit,
vegetables, dairy products and poultry.
"No better Elbe^ta peaches are grown
in the State than can he grown right
around and in the city, and we should
hrve creameries to supply us with all
the butter wo need, instead of bringing
such a large portion of it from points
outside tho country. We should also
manufacture cheese and supply the
Southwest. I pros' mo that a number of
the owners of these lands are holdin r
them for city lots and 1 think they will
be needed for that purpose in a v«rv
short time, but for the present would ir
not be better to clear them up and put
houses on them for tenants and let them
produce something?"
