The French congress met at ;
Yersailes Thursday and elected M
Felix Fan re president in place of f
Casimir-IVrier, resigned. The
new president is a citizen of Home
and was minister of [marine under j
I'erier. He is 53 years of age and j
is a clear headed, clean hamlec
man of great ability. It was
thought M. Hrisson would l»e
chosen, but the socialists support-
ed him and that seemed to injure
his chances.
On the final ballot Faure receiv-
ed 130 and Bri.sson 3<> 1.
The new presideut entered Paris
j amid the shouts of the people ami
; it looks as if the world would not
j miss the brilliant Perier.
It is ii curious fact that although
France has been a republic nearly
twenty-five years, no man has
served out a presidential term and
I only one, II. Caruot. has died in
j oflice. All have resigned.
On the other hand our republic
i has existed over one hundred years
and not a single president has
threatened to resign. The pay of
the French presidents is greater
j than ours, too.

That man or that paper who
praises everything any public man '

poor citizen indeed.

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 lie
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 theliusband.
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 its 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. 50.—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.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 current
service shall
"No mortgage trust, deed or
other 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-
dition of defeasance shall be void.
"Sec. 51. The homestead not in a
town or city, shall consist of not
more than 200a<resof 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. 16 of the con
stitution reads:
wages for personal
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 bus
bandry. All tools, apparatus and
books l>elonging 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 l>e-
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 12cents
on the £100. County taxes do not
often reach 50 cents on the £100.
land.
Improved lands are worth from
•} 10to £50per acre.c
Our lands produce a greater va-
riety of crops than can l»e found in
ilmast any other county. They
have the rare advantage of bring-
ing bnfli wheat and cotton crops—
something not found in many
places.
roads.
Good roads reach into every sec-
tion of the county and substantial
bridges span all streams.
education.
We have ninety public schools
in the county outside the city of
Gainesville—eighty-six white and
four colored. These schools run
on an average of six month each
year.
