A Motto for Texas.

In answer to an inquiry why Texas
TO answer your question would
require knowledge of the motives
and views of every congress that met
in the republic of Texas and OF every
legislature since it has been a state.
If I should guess at it I would say
that Texas has not been poetically or
sentimentally inclined and that she
has been attending to matters OF more
substantial Importance, While she
has never (by law adopted any mot.
to, she has had one from the day OF
the fall of the Alamo, upon which she
has acted-one given her by one OF
the patriots who perished in the Ala
mo-to-wit: "Be sure you're right,
then go ahead.
The Governors answer is, we be-
lieve, the best thing we have ever seen
from his pen. We think, however,
he ought to have gone further and
recommended to the Legislature the
adoption of Crockett's immortal say
ing as the actual motto OF Texas
There is no nobler sentiment, nor one
more happily expressed-none that
is already more firmly fixed among the
aphorisms of wisdom. Its adoption
as our state motto would in all res
poets be most appropriate, just trib-
ute to n remarkable man who gave
his life for her Independence. Ir
thus honoring him she would honor
herself, while holding up high anc
honorable standard of emulation ano
action. We trust the Governor vii
not fail to use his influence to hav'
the necessary steps taken for the leg
al adoption by the state of this felicl
tous motto. We are sure he coulC
not do better or more popular thing
for after all sentiment goes a lonl
way in moulding the history, not onl.
, of individuals, but of states end na
tons.

When anybody dies, gets married. runs

a big sale, or whips his mnn-or his VIE

any way remarkable. and you have reason

The Scripture exhorts us 10 'ho'd
N, t. the form of ''s0und toords, which,
I suppose, means that we should call
.hings by their right names. The rosc
by any other name would smell as
sweet, but rascality sometimes adorns
itself with names that makes 1t smell
far sweeier than when bearing its own
proper designations.
Especially is this true when men
and, r;ake to describe the swindles and
llainies which are too common in the
higher circles of the commercial world.
Speaking of certain transactions of this
description, tie Hartford Coarant says:
"Ovcr-ccr,iIication and rehypotheca-
lion, are pretty long words. One means
lpiRg, and tho other means stealing.
Wlea we are tod that the recent
troubles in business in New York ara

mat or within the rangp Of the ten COM
mrndments. There Is no Scripture
which says: "Tbou shalt not default.
thou halt not rehypothecate, thou
shalt MT over-ccrtifcate,' but there IS
a passage which says; Thou shalt not
steal" and tlere Is passage which
tells us that all liars shall have their
part in the lake which burneth with fire
and brimstone. If wecan get rid OF
some of these big words, and come
down to language which the common
people can understand, we shall per
haps be able TO warn mon against the
dangers OF stealing. and tell men who
lie that tLey are on the straight road to
he'll. This is very unpopular word
and a very obsolete doctrine, but there
are some things which go to show that
Il is true. One of them is this: that the
devil is very sure to get grip ON these
gcnteel swindlers and their ill-gotten
gains in this world, and nothing affords
much foundation for the idea that ne
will let go of them in the next----Bos

per hnps some of the readers OF the FREE

The health of the country is excellent
there being little or no sickness. The
farmers hive taken advantage of the beauti'

weeks and are winding up their crops IN
double quick (there being not much to
wind) the ,rms destroyed all the second

try. all bulked their cotton at our little sta
ton one day last week and turned 1t over 70

bales. there being no other buyers present
Clements & Rather of this place wagged OIL
with tho prize. 1t sold on basis OF w
100 for middling, some being sold as low aS
cents. The sale being very unsatisfactory
IT was agreed to bulk the next at the city OF
Lampasas, hoping to meet more buyers
there. Our little station has shipped near
400 bales up to date and yet some people
say this is no farming country. The acre

San MARCOS COUNTY TEXAS THURSDAY
WHAT Is THE USE?

What is the use of this impetuous hastep
The cad is certain. Let us take our time
And hoard the vital forces that We waste
Before our day has reached its golden
prime.
What is the use Of rushing with spent
breath
After old age, its burrows, it's white hair9
Why need we hurry no to welcome Death,
Or go half way, with hands stretched out
to Care?
There is no use. Dear hearts, If we but
whit
All things will find US. Lot us pause, l
say,
We cannot GO beyond the silent gate
That lies short days journey down tho
way,
So let us take our time in Youths fair bow
ers
The summer season Is so brief at best.
Let us look on the stars, and pluck the flow
erH,
And when our feet grow weary, let us rest.

RansOm.Tillman.
NnnEierru OLSerrer:

While the personalities of the controversy
between MIR. Tiln1an and Mr.. Ransom belong
in one sense to themselves, yet AS the matters
have been given SO much notoriety through
the newspapers, outside comment cannot pe
regarded aS impertintnt. :
And, first, it may be remarked that 1t is
unfortunate, TO say the least, that O discus
sion Of a public question OF so much lhteresi
should have descended into personal abuse
= UP TO the letter of Mr. Rahsoin's, giving the
"lic'' to Mr.. Tlllman, there had been some
TiIlman but nothing that could be construed
us direct and intentional insult to anybody
Why was the lie" given? Because hr: TIL
man said Prof Joynes said the s: Z; College
had offered to analyze fertilizers ut S5-which
Prot Joynes denied. That, II a question n
vrracliy al all, was between Prof JoyneS and
Mr.. Tillman-it was very likely only n ques,
ton of memory; for Prof Joynes either to!d
Mr.. TillInan so and then forgot IL, or else MT
TiIlmnn misunderstood him.
Mr.. Ransom says in his last letter thnt Mr,
Tillman failed to take any notice OF lroL
Joynes' denial and "Gontinued to repeat tss
statement at taurens, NeW6efrS ana rn pIoDa, as
to Newbcrry. Mr.. TlIlman did not make the
statement at Newbcrry. Mr.. Till!nan him.
self says, in Il letter published late In AuSuSt.
that he had not heard of Prof. Joynes' deni;l
until after he spoke at Laurens-hc spoke the
next day at Ncwherry.
1t Is not out of place to say here that the
"two members of the board and the commas
sioner" did not use any Insulting epitEet In
tI.elr "assauIls' on Mr., Tlilmnn. The weight.
size and height Of these gentlemen, therefore,
and their physical prowess have nothing u
do with this matter.
As to Mr.. TIllmad's promises for the past
twelve months or more, he has certainly ac'
complshed SO far all that cOnld have been eX-
prctcd by himself or his most Sanguine
friends. Ills agitation has surely had Ii con
siderable intiucnre in the selection OF candl-
dates for the next Legislature. whether TINS
will rebound to tho advantage of the FARMERS
remains to he seen. He has II stronger foilow-
ing to-day than he has had at any time since
he began his agitation.
