Editors Flortdian A few days since noticed
quotation from the Thomasville Enterprise,
which, I must say, astonished me. 1t was with
reference TO the cotton compress business. Let
me quote: "If Townsville had closed a trade
for a compress, we do not believe Tallahassee
would have followed her footsteps. What is the
clear line of policy for Townsville under this
development of enterprise. on the part of
place we have Jondly imagined to b sio,o and

AT the last meeting of the Building and Loan
Association $500 were sold at a premium Of q
per cent. TO one person.
The amendment proposing to double the stock
OF the association was read discussed and post.
poned until the annual meeting in September.
Some are opposed TO the increase of stock while
others favor the measure, and the pos,ponement
affords ample time Tor discussion of the subjec,
in all its bearings upon the plans and workings
of the association
Ii is very evident that the present resources of
the association do not supply the demand lor
money now. The demand for money at this
time is greater than at any time since the organi.
cation of the association, many argue tina, the
demand will steadily increase, and We believe il
will.
As to increasing the stock or creating new
series there is also division of sentiment, II
the association should decide on an increase Of
stock, we think the plan suggested by Mr. Nc
Intosh, Jr., to make a canvass among the men,
bers and ascertain how many shares they would
take, is the proper one to pursue. and then in
crease the stock to just the amount thus sub
scribed for Ii the first increase of stock at any
time failed to supply the demand for funds the
association could make a similar effort to in
crease its stock and furnish more money.

CHINESE HISTORY.
How 1t Ii Compiled by Commission
Literary Men.

How 1t Ia Compiled by Commission Of
Literary Men.
A writer in recent issue Of the
North China Herald OF Shanghai says
that Chinese history is compiled by
permanent commission OF accomplished
literary men, who are always at work
upon it. In 1887 an imperial edict
stated that history ought not to be writ
ten for the Emperor's use only, and re-
main shut up in golden caskets and
marble chambers; 1t ought to be made
accessible to all officials, that they may
know the mind Of the Emperors and the
laws of the land. From the Chinese
standpoint, history is divided into two
parts, one an exact narrative Of events,
the other record of what the Emper-
or has said and done. This division
originates two sets of publications, one
in which the officers speak, the other
in which the Emperor is the spokes-
man. In the first, the industry of the
bureau of history is run in the collec-
ton of facts, but there is always dam

strong court influence. Historical cam
dor can scarcely find place in refer.
ence TO nations or persons who have
been in conflict with the court. With
this exception, the array of facts
thus recorded is most valuable. The
edicts published in the second series ex-
press the mind of the Emperor. He is
always a man who has the ADVANTAGE
OF good training, and II his style Is
tolerable and he happens to be fond Of
writing his edicts himself, they will all
be transmitted to future times in full.
The scribes, who stand writing when
he speaks, translate his spoken words
into official phrases, and his opinions
and decisions will then pass into Off.
clal history, partly written by himself
and partly by the scribes OF the cabi.
net Besides these there are various
series of historical works-the first
having been prepared In the eleventh
century-to populartze the subject and
place the chief facts of the Chinese an
nails within the reach OF common read
ers, who have not the opportunity to
study them in full. The last of these
has just been published. 1t deals with
the reign of Kienlung. from 1886 to
1875, and is in sixty volumes. Every
important public matter Is recorded
under the day on which 1t occurred.
Inc Emperor has. as usual, the lion 8
share OF the talking, and there Is room
Tor him to say good deal in one hum

them very long
