Through the Sunny South.
Continued from FlrM page
the hurricane of October , 1867
wiped it out of existence. It
was , for its siac , the most pros
perous and wealthy and at the
same time , most wicked city that
ever existed. From beginning
to end the city led a strenuous
life. It was at Bagdad that
negro soldiers of the United
States first shot up or raided a
town. Several companies of
negroes from the regiments en
camped at Clarksville on the
American side of the river crossed
into Mexican territory January
14 , 1866 , and for fourteen days
held the city. More than forty
years later the negroes of the
twenty-fifth Infantry raided aud
shot up Brownsville , Texas , only
twenty miles inland from the al
most forgotten town of Bagdad.
Cripple Creek and Dodge City
were rough and wild when they
were on the outpost of civilisa
tion , but Bagdad , roasting under
the hot Mexican sun composed of
the riff-raff of many nations ,
along1 with portions of its popu
lation that was respectable , was
a .seething caldron of iniquity.
There was no law , no order.
Cotton was indeed king , and to
the king must be laid the crime
of Bagdad. It was a time when
cotton was worth almost its
weight in gold. The people of
Bagdad made fortunes and the
foundations for many of the great
fortunes of the south and south
west were laid in this city ,
which during the past few years
of life , was the most wicked on
the American continent. The
north and the south were at war ,
naxirailian and the French were
in Mexico. The country south
of the Rio Grande was torn and
disrupted. The north was
blookading all the ports in the
south. There was a great cry for
cotton from all over the world.
The price of the stuff soared as
the denland grew greater until
the top price , more than a dollor
a pound , was reached.
Up the river from Bagdad was
the Mexican town of Matamoris.
This place I have just been visit
ing. Here the French had built
an opera house with seating
capacity of 2,000 , and where
money was almost as plentiful as
as in Bagdad. This was the
time this old town had a popula
tion of 76,000 , while they now
claim about 7,000.
At that time the bull ring in
Matamoris was the largest in
Mexico. Cotton was taken Bag
dad to Matamoris on the King
Kenedy line of paddle wheelers.
Here it was piled along the banks
of the river to be shipped later
to points in Mexico and for ship
ment at Vera CruH. At one time
there were a mile and a half of
cotton bales along the Rio
Grande. Later a straight mile
of cotton burned to. ashes at
Matamoris , destroying goods
valued at one half million dollars.
Those were the good old cotton
times as the aged Mexican call
them.
The men who now beg on the
streets then made from three to
five dollars an hour on the
wharve. When the civil war
ended in 1865 and the blockade
lifted from the southern ports ,
the people of Bagdad saw the be
ginning of the end and the exodus
began. Bagdad's career ended
forever October 7 , 1869. Those
who remained after the war mov
ed inland a few days before the
date mentioned because the water
was coming { from the gulf. It
was well for them that they did ,
for on October 7th a hurricane
swept the gulf waters two miles
into Mexico and when the waves
receded not a stick nor a stone
of what had been Bagdad re
mained on the beach.
me reiugees irom Bagdad
sought refuge at LaBorita ranch ,
where they remained until taken
away in boats. In San Antonio
are scores of wealthy persons
whose fathers made their money
at Bagdad. Great ranches and
plantations throughout Texas ,
Louisiana and other southern
states are possible only because
of Bagdad's existance.
In Matamoris , Mexico , are a
dozen families who have engaged
in absolutely no occupation since
the civil war , but have lived in
the best of style. But the
modern sedan is gone. Today
the only inhabitant of that sec
tion of Mexico is a lonely custom
inspector. At night bob-cats and
ocelots romp over the sandy
beach. In the day time the sand
crabs , great hairy tarantulas and
green lizards have the whole city
to themselves.
Now we are againjscated in the
little old street car on our return
trip. Two of our crowd failed
to catch this car as they were in
a store looking at some curios ,
but we two are whizzing along
at the best speed our propeller
can take us , the little mule.
Again we pay our toll and re
ceive our check , At a certain
place on our journey a small boy
steps in the car , takes up the
checks and drops them in a place
of deposit ready to be gathered
up and passed around again in
the usual way.
Here we are at the river ready
to be taken on board the boat ,
soon to bid farewell to the scenes
we have so faintly depicted.
As we step from the boat on
the American side we noticed a
fine looking lady and a very hand
some gentlemen entering the
boat from the American side for
the Mexican shore. W ° wonder
ed why these nice looking Ameri-
cam people seek a refuge in such
a dismal , gloomy , weird and
lonely looking place as it looked
to us in the gloom and pall of
night this old town of Matatnoros ,
Mexico.
We have surely seen enough for
one day but we wanted a few
more postal cards , some more in
formation before leaving Browns
ville , Texas. *
We went to the office of Mr.
Phillips according to promis aud
got the information sought for.
He gave us a stick of ebony wood
to take home with us. This is a
rare and valuable wood and
susceptible of a very Jfinc finish.
This will be produced'in evidence
that I have been here aud mystery
story ip true.
'Tis now 10 o'clock and we go
to the car and find that a number
have already retired. I am sure
that every member of our jolly
crowd have seen enough for one
day and each one has appropriat
ed his or her share of this days
history to the archives of
memory , calling up at will the
vivid recollections of the .sights
and scenes of this day.
Each member of this party
will be remembered by the writer
as long as the pulsations of life
give power to call up sweet
thoughts of this day from the
storehouse of our memory , and
we hope to be remembered by
these friends we have .met and
associated with thus far on this
trip.With
With these disconnected
thoughts and reflections we say
farewell to old Brownsville and
its people , knowing not .that we
may ever again walk the streets
of these old cities or look in the
faces of its people.
Nights shades hover around me now ,
\Vlille In this far south land I roam ;
The stars look down and kiss my brow ,
I sluup and dream of home , sweet home :
For One I know will care for me.
Who give the stars their radiant light ;
And those I love HOOU wliall I see ,
Though I am far away tonight * .
Oil , can It be that I am here ,
Where Hlo Qrande'a waters ( low ;
Sweet ( lowers bloom through all the year.
And lemon , orange and bananas grow.
Yes , this Is true for I have seen
This very day to my surprise ,
Uanana trees aud castor beans ,
A wonder to our natural eyes.
We sleep tonight and then we go ,
And leave the history of the past ;
We've watched the Klo Grande How ,
Hut now must vay farewell at last.
These thoughts we gather from this day
In after years borne hearts may thrill ,
And friends I meet on life's highway ,
Will know I've been to old llrownsvllle.
