The need of a commercial club
or some similar organization of
business men to promote the
interests of Brenham was never
more seriously felt than now.
The cotton crop, the great
sauthern staple and the only
money crop on which the people
of this section can depend, is
heifer a total failure than ever
before known, and to bring the
remnant to this market will re-
quire unity of action among our
merchants and cotton buyers and
intelligent effort properly applied
With the object of getting
suggestions looking to attaining
this end The Banner man talked
with several prominent business
men Friday morning.
"Good roads," said one, "are
our first necessity. Brenham is
paying more for cotton than any
competing point, and if the far-
mers can get to Brenham they
will come."
"I notice," said another, "that
the county convicts are working
the road between here and Chap-
pell Hill. There are two roads to
that town, one of which is in
fairly good condition, and be-
sides this we have rail communi-
cation by whioh cotton can be
brought here to be compressed if
not to be sold, and it seems this
labor could be utilized to better
advantage in portions of the
county not so fortunately
situated. Take, for instance,
Old Washington. The people of
that section and the 'Bluff' want
to come to Brenham to do their
trading, but it is impossible to
pull a load through Jaokson
creek bottom in its present con-
dition. Navasota is nearer that
neighborhood than Brenham,
and is a strong oompetitior for
ts trade. It seems that it would
be the part of wisdom to give
this road ®ur first attention."
Another suggestion is that the
merchants contract their profits
as much as is consistent with a
safe business, and in this way
attraot trade, while the cotton
buyers might shave their 'com-
missions and add a fraction to
the price of the staple.
rhen directly approached on
the subjeot buyers assort that
they are paying more than oom-
ng points. 8ut this knowl-
edge, to avail, should be gener<
ly disseminated.
The county commissioners will
probably be asked to give the
Old Washington road early atten-
tion, and the Banner suggests
,hat the business men of the
oommunity organize and make
an effort in the interest of
town.

article^ described has generally

The war department of. the
United States received its first
information of tho battle of
Manila bay through the news-
papers, and tho battle of Santia-
go haVbor was likewise first
published to the world before
official America had bee a. ad-
viif -•
The storm at Galveston is
another instance. It was news-
paper men who first sent out the
news of the catastrophe, and
their portrayal was so vivid and
so accurate that Governor Sayers
at once wired the general
government for 50,000 rations
and other supplies. The res-
ponse was immediate and
generous, and some supplies were
not only sent, but Gen. Mc-
Kibbin, commanding the depart-
ment of Texas, was ordered to
proceed to Galveston and relieve
the situation as far as lay in his
power and report to the govern
ment the condition of affairs on
the island as he found them and
suggest to general headquarters
what was needed most by the
destitute islanders.
The general's report is as fol
lows:
"Arrived Galveston 6 p. ra.,
having been ferried across the
bay in a yawl boat. Impossible
to adequately describe the condi-
tion existing here. The storm
began about 9 a. m. Saturday
and continued with constantly
increasing violence until after
midnight. Island inundated,
Height of the tide was from
eleven to thirteen feet. Wind
was cyclonic. With few ex.
ceptiona, every building in the
city was injured. All fortifies-
tions, except rapid-fire battery at
Sait Jacinto, practically des>
troyed. At San Jacinto every
building except quarantine sta-
tion swept away. Battery O.

men. Officers and their families

hoipital corps lost. Names will
be sent as soon as possible. Loss

more than 1000. All bridges
gone; waterworks destroyed,
and all telegraph lines down.

An Honest Darkey.
Rav. Alfred Oliver, a colored
tenant on Mr. Adolph Meyer's
plantation six miles northeast of
Brenham, whose house was blown
down and its contents badly
damaged, brought a bale of cot-
ton to town Friday morning
which he sold for 10 1-4 cents a
pound, and with the proceeds
went to hia merchant and settled
his account amounting to $26.83.
Oliver is one of those honest old
darkeys who believes in paying
his honest debts, and as a con*
sequence he is enabled to obtain
advances from his merchant
at a time when he mostly needs
it. He says he is not in the lesst
discouraged at the disasters that
have overtaken him, and will go
steadily ahead expounding the
gospel to sinners and cultivating
the soil for a living,
among the members who suffered
loss from the storm. The son-
tribution is an individual one,
and the collection waa made at
the suggestion of Fast Master
Workman O. Gramm, who
realizes that early relief is
necessary.

formerly an attorney of this city,
but now living in Angleton,

acknowledges with thanks the
donations already received and
says it is especially gratifying to
him that his friends in Washing

Brazoria county in its time of
need. He says footLcooked and
uncooked is nssdefand money
also. Dead bodies from Galves
ton have washed between San
Luis Pass and Brazoria, and
money is needed to hire labor to
bury these. Mr. Bryan says
"we have nothing left ourselves."
He suggests that mosey be sent
