OUR HOLIDAY.
Tbe fourth of July continues
to be our greatest natioual holi-
day. And well it may be.
Since the 4th of Jnly 119 years
ago the history cf the political
world has l»een rewritten. A new
era began then. Before that time
it was a history of individuals. A
state was great or weak as its
rulers were great or weak.
Now it is the people and no one
man can have much effect in the
history of a people. The age was
ripe for the change and our fore-
fathers led the way.
It was fortunate for the world
that they did, for they had the
wisdom and the prudence to hold
what they gained.
The world was the beneficiary
of the uew departure our forefath-
ers took. But bad they l»eeu less
wise and self sacrificing it would
have amounted to uothing.
They builded on a sure founda-
tion, and were the nucleus around
which the lovers of freedom iu all
countries rallied.
To their strong wills and eu-
lightened patriotism the world is
indebted today for most of tbe ad-
vancement it has made since then.
See what a change has Iwen
wrought. Not a monarch treads
the soil of the new world.
Kugland is freer than ever,
France is a republic, Italy a con-
stitutional monarchy, Germany an
empire where the masses have to
lie respected more than ever I>e
fore. Austria Hungary has a
constitutional government. Even
iron-ruled Russia is improving
and not a single people on the
face of the globe is retrograding iu
civil liberty.
Well may we celebrate the 4th
of July.
LET US BE CAREFUL.
Our friend Jawl>one continues
to ignore the teachings of the
Hkhpkrian and insist that our sil-
ver dollars are as good as gold
simply because gold is behind
them to redeem them. This is a
favorite argument with them, but
it is all a fallacy.
We have over $ 400,000,000 of
standard silver dollars full legal
tender money, the equal of gold in
erery particular and worth as
much as gold.
The government does not prom-
ise to pay gold for them and nevei
has done it, and cau not do it
uutil the laws are changed. Sec-
retary Carlisle lias said in official
communications to the senate that
it has not l>een done. Then if the
government does not do it, and
does not promise to do it, how is
it that gold is Itehind onr silver
dollars!
We like to believe that our gold
standard friends are both honest
■ I weuld, to day, h
end aj little ehiidreo
* keen n» rou and rc
«lv* my
VI*A WILSON.
and intelligent and for this reason
it pains us to hear them make such
an assertion as this.
The reason each one of these
400,000,000 silver dollars is worth
as mnch as a gold dollar is be-
cause the government makes them
full legal tender for all debts pub-
lic and private receiving them on
a par with gold.
There is not a single govern-
ment obligation, except a few mil-
lion gold deposit certificates, that
is not payable in silver the same
as gold.
We do not claim that this
proves that if we had uulimited
coinage of silver it would still l>e
as good as gold. We believe this
would raise the price of silver
bullion or lower the price of gold
so that the two would still be equal.
But we think the gold men should
t»e as frank as we are and not try
to prove their theory correct by
claiming that the government is
backing our silver coin with gold.
The only question to our mind
is, "how much silver can l>e coin-
ed and kept as good as our other
money!" In arguing this we do
not desire to make any erroneous
•tatemeuts of facts that can l»e
ascertained. Men may make false
or erroneous deductions from
facts without doing harm, but men
should be very careful about what
they can and ought to know.
Picnic at Burns.
There will be a picnic at Burns
City July 24. It will l>e free for
everybody. Good speaking aud a
good time. Everybody invited.

Resolutions Passed at Sunrise
Prayer Meeting.
We, at this early morning pray
er meeting, do raise our voices in
gratitude to Almighty God fortius
sacred day aud what it has brought
to us as a people and nation.
It is with great joy we notice the
general awakening, a sweeping
wave of more patriotic feeling and
a deeper interest in the welfare of
our common country which calls
for a better enforcement of the
laws of the land.
We pledge our support, both
moral and financial to our county
attorney, W. E. Rogers, in his
fight to enforce the laws.
And further, we do endorse and
comtuend his course in trying to
remove the "curse" that has dis-
graced our town so long. We call
upon all lil>crty-loving, law-en-
forcing people to aid him in his
undertaking, and we bid him God
speed in his efforts.
Respectfully,
Local Union of C. E. Societies of
Gainesville.

A Verdict of Acquittal.
Tbejuryinthe somewhat cele
brated Scaife-Woodson-Pittman
case rendered a verdict of acquit-
tal last night. This case has at-
tracted considerable attention i n
a-count of the prominence of the
defendants. Their acquittal is a
source of gratitlca ion to their
friends, who have never believed
them guilty. Messrs. Dick «!fc
Brown, their attorneys, managed
the defense in an excellent man-
ner. The prose-ution wis ab'y
and strongly conducted, but their
testimony was not sufficiently
strong to warrant a conviction, or
at least the jury so viewed it judg-
ing from the verdict.—Ardmorc-
it*.
Editor Hesperian:
"B. D.," a small caliber poli-
tician of the heel sweep and Geor-
gia stock pattern comes out in the
Register of last week to tell the
people that the American dollar is
worth 100 cents in payment of all
debts from one to one hundred
dollars. And for this reason he
wanti all the cry about cheap
money and dishonest dollars dried
up.
For the reason that the gentle-
man seems to reside somewhere in
the "neck of the woods," we will
condescend to dignify him by no-
ticing him. We will inform him
that few people fail to understand
the reason why onr silver dollar
passes at par with gold in this or
any other gold standard country.
Our friend has failed to compre-
hend the truth that gold is behind
the silver dollar, which makes 50
cents worth of it worth 100 cents.
But Jet us take our friend down to
Mexico or to any other silver
country and see our dollars six or
eight grains lighter than their
coin, being exchanged lor two of
their dollars. We have a gold and
they a silver standard. Will not
he frankly admit that the coin of
Mexico is a debased money? If he
can find any silver standard coun-
try where they have free and un-
limited coinage 16 to 1 that their
silver is worth over half that of
gold standard countries, we would
like for him to name the book aud
page.
Will our silver friend give us
date when our per capita circula-
tion was ever larger than tcday.
I would like for him to show
silver standard country that uses
any gold or has as much paper or
silver currency as we have. Our
friend, if he would look into the
matter, would be surprised to fine
that the gold standard countiies
have a far greater circulation than
the silver countries.
Some of the silver standarc
countries produced last year more
silver than they have money in
circulation, yet many of their
coins are as old as our grant
daddies and are worn slick.
Will he tell us why Mexico pro
duced last year over $5 per capita
of silver and yet has less than
that amount in circulation! Wil
he also tell us how his cheap
money (or poor man's dollar)
to raise the price of our cotton in
a foreign market. And can our
modern Solomon show one silver
country where wages are as gooc
as in the gold countiies.
Oh, but he will say we
have a double standard, use
silver and gold. Can he
where this ever existed except in
name! Jawbone.

HE£ PEOPLE.
Texas is a cosmopolitan state,
but native Americans predomin-
ate. The negro 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
liberal, 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
family a guarantee against waste-
ful extravagance and bad manage-
ment on the part of the husband.
The following extracts from the
state constitution will give an idea
of the protection which the state
throws around a family:
"Art. 17, Sec. 49. The legisla-
ture shall have power, and it shall
be ite duty, to protect by law from
forced sale a certain portion of the
personal property of all heads of
families, and also of unmarried
adults, male and female.
"Sec. 60.—The homestead of a
family shall be and is hereby pro-
tected from forced sale for pay-
ment of all debts except for the
purchase of money, the taxes due
thereon, or for work and materia!
used in constructing improve-
ments thereon, and in this last
case only when the work and ma-
terial are contracted lor in writ-
ting, with the consent of the wife
given in the same manner as is
required in making a sale and
conveyance of ilie 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
other lien ou 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-
dition of defeasance shall be void.
"Sec. 51. The homestead not in a
town 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. * • • e>>.
THE WAGES
of the laboring man, whether mar-
ried or not, are as sacr*»d as the
household.
Section 28 of Art. 16 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: t
"All household and kitchen fur-
niture. All implements of hus
bandry. All tools, apparatus and
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 oxen,
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 the family. All pro-
visions and forage on hand for
home consumption, and all current
wages for personal services.
To all single persons are re-
served: "All wearing appaiel, all
tools, apparatus and books be-
longing to any trade or profession.
One horse, saddle and bridle. All
current wages for personal ser-
vices."
Wherever the people's homes
are safe there will patriots be
found. Hence tramps and beggars
are not so common among us as in
other countries.
TAXATION
Is light, our state ad valorum tax
is now 15 cents on the $100, and
our state school tax is 12H cents
on the $100. County taxes do not
often reach 50 cents on the $100.
