THE GltKKK COIXTY DECISION.
Tlio decision of Jutljro "Walker mi
nulling the patents to land lu tirccr
rouniv oiid rcurtcriiisr jiHlpment lu Ja
Tor of tbo State for the land -was not
nn unexpected result of tho suit. J lis
decisions ou nil jirelijuinnry questions
have foreshadowed his judgment on
' tho rrmin issue. That it is well 101111a
ed and will he sustained by the su
prenie court should the next lcgixla
ture not interfere the IIi-.kam) has nt
doubt. At the tinio the Greer county
patents were issued tho State was
seeking to fully establish her ow
claim to tho hinds and their issuauco
won an act of questionable policy rc"
"amicus of previous legislation gov-
erairiff the disposition of the land
Tha leffislnturo had been appealed to
br the land commissioner to authorize
the lesaanc of the patents and had
refused by a rote almost unanimous
to grant such authority. The ques
tion was supposed to have thus been
settled at least until another
legislative assembly should convene
but t the utter astonishment of the
members of the legislature they had
not been long awny from the capital
when it was announced that ( oir.nus
flioacc Walsh lelt authorized under
existing law to do what he had asked
the legislature a few weeks before for
authority to do and that he would
issna patents to the holders of veteran
certifleates located in Greer county
Mr. Walsh no donbt. was actuated by
a desks to help assert the State's claim
to Greer county but ids action stirred
up a hornet's nest between Individuals
and tbe State which has undoubtedly
had its effect in preventing an earlier
' aetUeaient of the controversy between
tne auce anu me general government
lu city of Dallas needs more water
m3 Utter water and any nwonnWe
tax accessary to secure it will be will
ingly paid. Good water is essential
to both life and health and the neces
sity ef having it is not a subject of
debate. Tbe only legitimate subject
for discussion in this connection is the
best method of raising the means for
Improving our water facilities. Were
it not for inhibitions of the consti
tutiea that prevent tho raising of the
money by direct taxation in time to
be available in the near future the
IIbsaxd would favor that plan as
opposed to the issuance of bonds. A
heavy bonded debt is an incubus that
will rest like nightmare on the
. bosem of any city; and the lighter the
city debt of Dallas is the better it
-will be for the city both as an adver-
tisement abroad and as it affects the
Individual tax-payer at home. The
history of Houston Jefferson Mar-
shall Palestine and a number of coun-
ties illustrates this fact and it would
be superfluous to waste words on an
intelligent community to chow that
debt should only be incurred to pro-
Tide necessities. If the city's bonded
debt is increased to one million dollars
the people will py out in interest to
the holders of the bonds before matu-
rity more than the original cost of tbe
improvements made with the money
realized froni the i-ajc of the addition-
al bonds.
The Ten nuiy be ahead of thesord
but it is not mighty like the ballot
down in the I-aredo district 1
Boston is to havo a similar experi-
ence to that of Now York in her coming
municipal election. Geo. F. McNeil
Labor candidate will stand for mayor
and test tho voting strength of tho
laboring classes in that city.
LAFAGAN'S LOQIO.
In times of doubt the devil la Tery
attentive.
All that is disgraceful about poverty
is of our own make.
The misfortunes of ignorance are the
blessings of wisdom.
It Is wise to be prepared for evil but
better to be out of its reach.
I favor modesty in woman gentle
ncss in ninn and humility in both.
The true way to enjoy life Is by liv-
ing up to the principles that sustain it.
An act of kindness is an emulation of
tho angels and within the power of alL
The character of his work not quan-
tity is a young man's licit recommen-
dation. Those who are willing to shield the
faults of others tiro not ufrniu to ac
knowledge their own.
Most anyone can mnko blunders but
few people try to make the best of
Uiera after they havo.
Many a man has taken chance in
luck and is now existing upon the
bounty of chanty as a result.
To think as you please is your privi
lege; but to avoid the rough corners ol
ufu guard your actions.
Most people desire to be respected
tout many of them go nt it in the "cart-
uefore-thc-horse fashion.
When narrowed down to "sink or
swim" the hard work that mostyouag
men can stand would surprise them.
There is no satisfaction hi success
without earning it. In fact winning
it is two-thirds of the satisfaction in it.
It is well enough to calculate upon
dillieulties but to include the possibil-
ity of dofcat also evidences a weak
man.
Whoa you hear a man sneer about
"the virtue of woman" you may be
jure he has nothing in that fine to
boast of himself.
Goodness is inoro often returned by
the like for tbe advantage that may re-
sult to us rather than to cancel an
obligation.
There is a bump of satisfaction in the
thought that he has at least made an
effort even t hough a man fails to securt
the persimmons.
.Nowaday it is getting so that a self-
supporting boy does not seem to have
an equal snow with one who lives op
his widowed mother.
But few of us are ashamed to commit
sin but ashamed t repent of trans-
gressions though the gates of heaven's
mercy are always open.
Philosophy tenches us to accept out
conditions in life as equal to our under-
standing aud not to continually growl
about the price of admission.
Several times when pinched by ad-
versity I have found a stiff backbone
to be pretty reliable but I cannot say
as much for my wife's relatives.
Advice on the subject is plenty yet
the surest way to obtain a paid-up
dividend in life is to "keep digging."
I recommend this out of personal ex
perience.
There are plenty of young men who
would not hesitate to accept a "dead
sure thing." What I want to see is
more of them who are willing to work
for it
No om who has faith and is willing
to work for satisfactory results can
sum life up as a failure. Faith and
effort have made more than one man
street commissioner or constable.
One's right principles do not always
gratify others but the outcome of these
principles when put into practice can
not fail to challenge their respect even
if not acknowledged. i'hicuge Ledger.
Stiff-Xeckcd Cow.
Mr. Taber. of Little Compton bad a
tough experience with a cow a few days
since. lie was driving homeward in
his wagon and the cow an apparently
quiet animal walked behind. She wae
attached to the tailboard by s rope
which was tied about her horns. When
the watering trough at Globe village
had been reached tbe cow stopped and
settled back on the rope. Mr. Taber
whipped up his horse but the cow
woulun 1 be ptillea ana quietly thrust
her horns under the wagon and lifted
her head. Mr. Taber was thown into
the rond. And the wagon was turned
completely over tipoa the astonished
horse. A crowd collecteiL and some-
body with presence m nd and a
knife cut tbe rope ana servered the
row's connection with the whole affair.
When last seen she was comic? towards
the city and her owner was not inter-
fering. Providence (R. I.) Journal
Tipping a Waiter.'
"Who was that negro you tipped
your hat te just now Mr. Snooks?"
aked Mrs. Snooks as they were prom

rim thos fellows tips down here."
Tia BUe.
Tim death of Mr. lloxlo removes
from the stago of life 0110 of the
master organizers and disciplinarians
of tho ago. llo was a born manager
of men aud controller of largo forces
and a man of extraordinary willpower
and courage. His methods in the
management of tho Southwestern sys-
tem of railroads of which ho was tho
head were those of a skilled general
in governing an army severe rigid
and exacting in tho extreme. Had bo
been content to tako lifo easier and
spared himself tho mental strain and
anxieties incident to his responsibili-
ties tho Inst lew years of his life he
would probably havo lived much
longer.
