NATIONAL HOLIDAY VS..

Labor Day is not national holiday, as
it has been said to be, though it is observed
as legal holiday in all the States and
Territories except Nevada and North
Dakota. In Louisiana it is observed in
Orleans Parish and in Wyoming it is made
a holiday by proclamation of the Governor.
Legally there is no such thing as a
national holiday-not even the Fourth of
July. The only binding effect of a legal
holiday is to authorize the banks to close,
when otherwise they would be required to
keep their doors open, and as this is mat
ter wholly within the jurisdiction of the
several States, Congress has repeatedly
refused to pass any actpurporting to make
legal holiday.
Congress made Labor Day legal holiday
in the District of Columbia, over which the
Constitution gives it exclusive jurisdiction,
but there its power ended.
In the conduct of the public business the
Government observes no general holiday
except Sunday, and in the postal service
Sunday is not full holiday where the
convenience of the pnblic requires that
post Offices be kept open for longer OF
shorter time on that day.
The Government simply recognizes the
holidays generally observed, and releases
it's employees from all work not absolutely
essential On Christmas, New Years Day
and the Fourth of July all work not es
sential is suspended, while in the Pos
Office the hours of work are cut to tn,
minimum.
The Fourth of July and Memorial Da,
are national holidays in the sense hat the,
are generally observed, but they are no
such by act of Congress.

The September Primary.

The official vote of the Fourth Congress
sional District gives Watkins 6,026 votes,
Looney 2,445.
The total vote of the new Eight Con-
OCCASIONAL District gives Perrin 5,783, As
well 1854; Aswell's majority, 80.
In the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Con-
gressional Districts no candidate receiving
a majority, second primary will be held.
B. A. Bridges and L. M. Wade will enter
a second primary for railroad commissioners
from this, the Third District.
Shreveport Journal: The counting OF
the votes in the Watkins Looney race in
seven parishes, recalled the Watkins Murff
race of a few years ago. In that race,
with nine parishes in the district, Watkins
polled a fraction over 1900 majority over
Judge Murff, the totals being Watkins 5, 100,
Murff 2,477. In Caddo Murff and Looney
got practically the same vote, Murff 991
and Looney 500.

A LIVING HOPE.

There are two kinds of hope, one alive
and one dead. A dead hope is hope
which uses expectant words, but which
nourishes at its heart no eager anticipa-
ton. A living hope vitalizes and WINES,
stimulates and energies, quickens and in
vigorates. 1t pours new life into the mind
and heart. 1t makes the whole world glow.
It burns in one life fire. 1t throbs in one
like dynamo.
Every one starts life with a capacity for
hope. Children are all hopeful. They
love the future. They have genius for
expectation. They are sure that good
things are coming-Christmas forinstance,
and vacation and other things. AS we
grow older the most of US lose this power
Of looking forward. The years bring dis
illusionment. Things do not turn out as
we planned. Expectations are disappoint-
ed. Dreams come to nothing. We attend
the funerals not only of our friends but OF
our ambitions. Every person in middle
life has cemetery in which are buried the
bodies of youthful expectations. The re-
suit is that many of us become despondent
and sometimes despairful. We lose hope
for ourselves and also for the world. Bu
with the truly hopeful there is ever ten
dency of things, under certain amount
of failure, to rise into greater vigor, tt
"endure unto the end,' "nor bate a jo
of heart or hope, but still bear right w
and steer right onward" and with loya
and heroic heart bind their lives to "hal
low'd duty" "They wrong man great!
who say he is to be seduced by ease," say
Carlyle, difficulty, abnegation, martyr
dom, death, are the allurements that act OF
cr0n
ial life of him, you have flame that burn
up all lower considerations. Not happi
ness, but something higher" Indeed, h
is the wisest and happiest man, who, b.
constant attention of thought, discover
the greatest opportunity of doing good
and with ardent and animated resolution
breaks through ever opposition that h
may improve these opportunities.

Cavalry CHARGE at Gettysburg.

From "Reminiscences of the Civil War; by B. Gordon
For ages after the dismemberment of the
Roman Empire, it was the vast bodies OF
cavalry that checked and changed the
currents of battles and settled the fate OF
armies and empires. This is not true now
can never be true again; but cavalry
charge, met by a countercharge OF cavalry,
is still, perhaps, the most terrible spectacle
witnessed in war. If the reader has never
seen such charge, he can form little con-
ception of its awe-inspiring fury Imagine
yourself looking down from Gettysburg's
heights upon the open, wide-spreading
plain below, where five thousand horses
are marshaled in battle line. Standing
beside them are five thousand riders, armed,
booted and spurred, and ready to mount.
The bugles sound the "Mount!" and in
stantly five thousand plumes rise above the
horses as the riders spring into their sad
dies In front of the respective squadrons
the daring leaders take their places. The
fluttering pennants or streaming guidons,
ten to each regiment, mark the left of the
companies. On the opposite slope of the
same plain are five thousand hostile horse
men clad in different uniforms, ready to
meet those in countercharge. Under those
ten thousand horses are their hoofs, iron
shod and pitiless, beneath whose furious
tread the plain is soon to culver. Again
on each slope of the open field the bugles
sound. Ten thousand sabres leap from
scabbards and glisten in the sun. The
trained horses chafe their restraining bits
and, as the bugle notes sound the charge
their nostrils dilate and their TANKS swell
in sympathetic impulse with the dashing
riders. Forward" shouts the command
er. Down the lines and through the col
nmns in quick succession ring the echoine
commands, " Forward, forward" AS this
order thrills through eager ears, sabre
flash and spurs are planted in palpitatn{
flank. The madly flying horses thunde
across the trembling field, filling the al
with clouds of dust and whizzing pebbles
Their iron trimmed hoofs in remorseles
tread crush the stones to powder and crasl
, through the flesh and bones of naples
, riders who chance to fall. AS front agains
front these furious riders plunge, thei
sweeping sabres slashing edge agains
edge, cutting way through opposin
; ranks, gashing faces, breaking arms an
splitting heads, it is a scene of widest wal
whirling tempest of battle, short live
but terrible.

LARGE Salaries.

The graduates of the Tyler CONNER
cial College, Tyler, Texas, draw the
largest salaries of any business college
graduates in the State. The reason is
plain. This school gives the most
thorough, complete and extensive cour-
ses of stenography, business training
and telegraphy to be found anywhere.
With our advantages of the modern
famous Byrne systems of bookkeeping
and shorthand we reduce the time re-
quired for completing a course from two
to four months over what is required in
other schools.
If you are acquainted with the average
business college graduate you know they
60 out and work in Offices as helpers, or
where the work is light, at most any
price to get start, many working for
Sc and So per week. This is not so with
the graduates of the Tyler Commercial
College. Our thorough, practical courses
give the student the training and expe-
rience that enables him to go into and
hold the better class of positions vacated
by experienced belp, and thereby draw a
good salary from the very first. The ad-
vanced salaries that our students draw
over the salaries received by graduates
of other schools would make it cheaper
for the student to attend our school and
pay the full rate Of tuition than to atten6
another school with tuition free.
1t is positive fact that we canno
supply the demand for our graduates O.
bookkeeping and shorthand or telegra'
ply. Write for and read our 500 guar
anty on page 10 of our catalogue -reat
the Endorsements of former students
note the excellent salaries they stat
they are receiving. No other school will

anty. If you can't enroll with US now

WHAT THE PAPERS ARE SAYING.

Mansfield Enterprise: No man ever
helped himself knocking others down in
character and business.
Lake Charles Times: One grand thing
an old bachelor has in his record is that he
never made any woman's life one long
misery.
Mansfield Enterprise: A large grain
dealer asserts that so per cent of the corn
raised in the United States is now used in
the manufacture of whisky, and gives this
as the cause of the high cost of living.
They figure that if even half of this corn
was used for bread, or to produce beef or
pork, the cost of living would decrease at
least so per cent. This is tremendous
burden upon the resources of the country,
and demonstrates that even the Prohibition
party has good reason to live. We hear
our friends kicking about a little school
tax, but what do they think cf this Whisky
Tax, that costs the people more than double
the value of all the clothes they wear.
Ohio voted on forty-two constitutions
amendments in one bunch on the Sd inst.
and all but one Tin favor of woman suffer-
age) were adopted. From an editorial in
the New Orleans Times Democrat we quote
the following paragraph relative to 'The
overhauling of the judicial system so as te
make justice more certain and less expen.
sive, to prevent the delays and override
the technicalities which have aroused such
strong opposition to the courts in most Of
the States, and which strengthened the
sentiment for the recall of judges. This
work has received the greatest considera.
ton among the Ohio amendments. Tit
example set there has already been &C.
cepted in Texas and other States, and sim,
liar reforms are likely to be adopted else
where. The matter deserves consideration

The Cotton Crop.

The Memphis Commercial Appeal of
Monday, 9th, says:
Intensely hot, dry weather during the
last week forced the cotton crop far toward
maturity. In the Carolinas, Georgia and
portions of Alabama heavy deterioration
in excess of that incident to maturity
was caused by the severe heat and drouth.
The plant shielded leaves, squares and
young bolls in great quantities. 1t is gen.
orally believed that the deterioration has
gone so far that rain would be of little,
if any, benefit.
In a large portion of Alabama and in all
States west of that State, save Texas and
cept on sandy and other light soils, where
muturity has about been reached. In heavy
soils the plant is growing and fruiting and
a good top crop is promised on this land in
all these States. In the other States Of the
belt and on light soils in those Gin which
fruiting has continued, the. top crop holds
forth little promise.
In Texas the crop has opened unusually
rapidly and fields are white with cotton
waiting for pickers, who are more or less
scarce. The yield is proving better thar
expected and the quality is generally high
notwithstanding some complaint is made
from this and other States of shortness o.
staple on account of premature opening
In Louisiana the crop has reached maturi'
ty and is suffering greatly from boil weevil
Complaint of boil weevil was confined t.
Louisiana and small portion of South
western Mississippi. The hot weather has
caused their eradication in Texas, wher'
they we're reported to be damaging tn
crop week ago.
Picking has become quite general owe
the belt except in the extreme northern
portion. In some localities the yield of lin
is heavier than usual. Most farmers ar
rushing their crop to market as fast a
ginned, although a few are disposed to hol'
the staple for higher prices.
