BOYCOTTING BEER.
Somebody sends ns a paper
called the American Citizen. We
notice it is a labor paper, and on
the front page in large display
type it calls on the lal>orers to
boyoott certain kimls of St. Louis
beer.
If it had extended it to all kinds
it would have helped the workmen
to solved the problem. Leaving
out of the question every feature
except the economic one, and the
advice if extended so as to advise
the workingmen to drink no in-
toxicants would certainly l>e
good.
Sam Jones put it in a terse way
when he told of the Chicago anar
chists parading the streets with
banners on which were inscrilied:
"Our children cry for bread," and
then went to a park and drank
1 .">00 kegs of beer.

THE RECOMPENSE.
The relatives of the victims of
Crews' murderous ^uu lugged the
people to let him !>e hanged by
law. The cringing vidian himself
begged for this when an angry
mob was surging around the jail.
He said he knew the mob would
burn him. lie wanted the offi-
cers to prevent this and expressed
a willingness to be hanged by law
as lie said he knew was just. But
after a brother of his first victim
had asked the people to let the
law take its course and had in-
duced them to permit this, we
hear men talk alxmt the Murrell
family persecuting the poor man
and trying to crush him out.
There never was a more wantly
example of loyalty to the law than
these same people have shown.
They dissuaded the mob, they sat
ipiietly in the court room and
listened at attorneys villify their
dead. They hoped for the ex-
treme penalty of the law to avenge

Editor Hesperian.
Wednesday, in company with
Mayor Short ridge, the writer made
a th ing trip to the Orphan Home,
situated in the northwest part of
the city, ar.d could write an inter-
esting page in Gainesville's his-
tory, if space would permit, from
what was seen and learned there.
But sufiice for the present: The
home is nice, neat and orderly,

yet to come. Here is a platform
on which all can stand, w ho enter-

tile, saint or sinner, of whatever
political bias or religions faith
can stand together here and lend
a helping hand to the furtherance
of a great and lasting good with-

CHANGING THE 'PRIMARIES.
The meeting of the executive
committee tomorrow to take ac-
tion in regard to the primaries is a
very important matter. If the
names of the candidates for gov-
ernor are submitted to the prima-
ries there is no doubt that a larger
and fuller expression of the peo-
ple can be had. The same rules
that apply in most counties should
l>e used. A plurality should carry
the county. Otherwise there
would be wrangling and confusion.
Tliis, too, will pievent the thing
which tiie Reagan men are com-
plaining about a combination of
the other candidates. This has
not been done and the charge is
only made to arouse prejudice.
Still this kind of arrangement will
remove even the suspicion of it.

fully appreciated by the farmer,
who sowed his fields with care,
watched it grow to full maturity,
bud, bloom and ripen, and viewed
the sea of golden fruit with satis-
faction as it waved to and fro in

his efforts had l>een crowned with
success. The harvest is over, the
shock stand in line and column
over the fields as armies with
banners. A sun to clear the hearts
of all the children of men. But
in an instant the storm king ap-
pears in all his fury—he came
like the wind when the forests are
rendered; came like the waves
when navies are stranded, and the
farmer's wheat and his hopes were
hurriedly swept away in the angry-
waters.

visits of time it is made clear that

Texas is a cosmopolitan state,
hut native Americans predomin-
ate. The nep'o population of the
state is small compared to other
southern states and the "race
problem" cuts no figure here. The
state is settled largely with immi-
grants from different parts of the
Union, those from the southern
and western states predominating.
laws.
The laws of Texas are made for
her own people and are the most
lilieral, equitable and just any-
where.
homestead laws
Are the most liberal, and her col-
lection laws the most lenient to be
found in any state in the Union.
^These laws not only provide
against misfortune, but give the
j family a guarantee against waste-
; ful extravagance and bad manage-
ment on the part of the husband.
The following extracts from the
st;ite constitution will give an idea
i of the protection which the state
- throws around a family:
"Art. 17, Sec. 49. The legisla-
ture shall have power, and it shall
be its duty, to protect by law from
forced sale a certain portion of the
personal property of all heads of
I families, and also of unmarried
adults, male and female.
'■i.'ee. 50.—The homestead of a
j family shall be and is hereby pro-
| tected from forced sale for pay-
j ment of all debts except for the
purchase of money, the taxes due
| thereon, or for work and material
j used in constructing improve-
j incuts thereon, and in this last
| case only w hen the work and ma-
terial are contracted for in writ-
ting, with the consent of the wife
given in the same manner as is
required in making a sale and
conveyance of the homestead; nor
shall the owner, if a married man,
sell the homestead without the
consent of the wife given in such
manner as may be prescribed by
law.
"No mortgage trust, deed or
oilier lien on the homestead shall
ever be valid, except for the pur-
chase money thereof, improve-
ments made thereon as hereinbe-
fore provided, whether such mort-
gage or trust deed or other lien
shall have been created by the hus-
band alone or together with his
wife; and all pretended sales of
the homestead involving any con-
tition of defeasance shall be void.
"Sec. 5!. The homestead not in a
tov. n or city, shall consist of not
more than 200 acres of land, which
may be in one or more parcels,
with the improvements thereon;
the homestead in a city, town or
village shall consist of a lot or
lots not to exceed in value &5000
at the time of their designation as
a homestead without reference to
the value of any improvements
thereon. * * * *"
the wages
of the laboring man, whether mar-
ried or not, are as sacred as the
household.
Section 28 of Art. 1<» of the con
stitution reads: "No current
wages for personal service shall
ever be subject to garnishment."
The statutes exempt the follow-
ing personal property from forced
sale:
"All household and kitchen fur-
niture. All implements of hus
bandry. All tools, apparatus aud
books belonging to any trade or
profession. The family library
and all family portraits and pic-
tures. Five milk cows and their
calves. Two yoke of work oxeu,
with necessary yokes and chains.
Two horses and one wagon. One
carriage or buggy. One gun.
Twenty head of sheep. All sad-
dles, bridles and harness necessary
for use of tiie family. All pro-
, equally divided black waxey, san-
and red sandy. About one-
half the county is timber and the
balance prairie with streams run-
ning through it, on which can l>e
found excellent timl>er and water.
Ked river borders the county on
the north for sixty miles.
Elm fork of the Trinity, Clear
creek and other streams flow
through it.
The county has an area of 933
square miles, equal to 597,120
acres.
It had in 1890 a population of
24,602.
It now has a population of per-
haps 30,000.
The assessed value of property
in 1893 was 17,909,050.
LAND.
Improved lands are worth from
$10 to $50 per acre.
Our lands produce a greater va-
riety of crops than can be found in
almost any other county. They
have the rare advantage of bring-
ing both wheat and cotton crops—
something not found in many
places.
EDUCATION.
We have ninety public schools
in the county outside the city of
Gainesville—eighty-six white and
four colored. These schoo's run
on an average of six month each
year.
EOADS.
Good roads reach into every sec-
tion of the county and substantial
bridges span all streams.
RAILROADS.
The Missouri, Kansas & Texas
railroad runs through the county
from east to west and the great
Santa Fe system runs through
from north to south.
A road is surveyed and will soon
be built from Gainesville north-
east to the coal mines at McAles-
ter, I. T.
GAINESVILLE,
The county site, is located on the
Elm fork of the Trinity, six miles
south of Ked river. It has a popu-
lation of about 10,000, and is a
busy, hustling, growing place. It
has eleven churches, six splendid
brick school houses, two good
flouring mills, an ice factory, an
iron foundry, the shops of the
Santa Fe railroad, a cotton com-
press, a broom factory, soap fac-
tory, cotton seed oil mills,
pressed brick works turning
out splendid brick, fonr
newspapers, three banks with a
capital and surplus of $650,000,
and various other enterprises.
It is a live place and men with
money or muscle can do no better
than to cast their lots here.
