1t should be the duty of every man
and woman to patrOniZe home institu-
tiOns as much as possible. The home
merchant pays taxes to help maintain
the city and county governments. He
must pay clerk hire and store rent;
he must have light and fuel, and he is
expected to take hand in every
church enterprise and charitable move
ment that comes along.
In order to do this it is necessary for
him to sell his goods at a reasonable
profit. If he can't do this he must
close up his shop and go out Of busi-
ness. Every dollar sent abroad for any
article that could be purchased at home
is just that much taken from its legiti-
mate channel, and does the nome mer-
chant that much damage.
Foreign firms contribute nothing to
the support of your town. They would
not care if every business house in
your place should go under All they
want is your money. Why, then,
should you patronize them TO the ex-
clusion Of your home merchant who
has deep interest in every institution
in your town? Take the mater home,
and ask yourself the question: Were
in business how would it suit me il
the people sent abroad to purchase
articles for sale in my store?'i
It is not right. If you have work to
do, get some person at home TO do It.
If you wish to buy anything, no mat
ter what, buy it from the home mer-
chant. In this way you viii help to
build up the enterprises of the town,
and keep the money in circulation at
home, where it is most needed.
While these remarks are directed
to the citizens, they apply with equal
force to the merchants. You expect
the people to patronize home indus

tries, then why not practice what you
preach? For instance, you need print
ing of some kind, letterheads, ,billheadS,
statements, envelopes, or other COM
mercial work. You have printing Of
flee, perhaps two well equipped to turn
out good work. They need your pat
ronage. You expect them to work for
the upbuilding of the town. This they
take great pleasure in doing. You ex-
pect them not only to advertise the
town extensively, but to impress on
the minds of the people the importance
of patronizing home industries.
They do all this, and more, too. The
paper does more for the town than all
other elements combined. And yet
you grumble and growl about placing
your card in the paper. Even when you
do so, you imagine you are performing
an act of charity. But you are not.
There is no charity in it. You are get
ting value received. You are getting
increased publicity, the town is being
advertised. The paper is paying for
all its gets, and more than paying for
it.
Not only this, but instead of letting
one of the home Offices do the work,
you send it abroad. Then, perhaps on
a letterhead printed in another town,
you write to the editor, telling him he
ought to whoop up home industries.
Is there any justice in this? Are you
treating the home paper fairly? Can
you conscientiOusly expect home peo-
pie to patrOniZe you? Don't you know
it is a poor rule hat won't work both
ways? Of course you dol Then try to
practice what you preach and the pa
pers will help you ont Work together.
Patronize the nc paper, because it
is not charity institution, but legit-
innate enterprise that will build up the
town if given the proper patronage.

TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.

Ocala is making extensive prepara-
tons for the State Teachers AssOcia-
ton, which meets in that city on De-
cember II. 1t is expected to be more
largely attended than any similar meet
ing ever before held in the State.
Shelton Phillips, chairman of the ex-
ecutiVe committee, has issued an ad-
dress to the public, in which he ji-
rects attention to the importance of a
full attendance. Among other things,
he says:
"The child-study movement, which
perhaps began, for this State, at Talla-
hassee three years ago, will undertake
to prove its claims this year, and its
committee, through Prof. H. E. Bierly,
chairman, is preparing for one of the
most elaborate displays of instru-
ments, material and literature ever as
sembled at any similar occasion in the
South. This display will be worth sew
eral thousands dollars.
1.-The undergraduates and mothers
clubs are fully aroused, and will have
their exhibit in the armory, Ocala. The
committee will give to the teachers and
public an Qbject-lesSOn in this phase
of education.
'The schools and county systems
that had at the State Fair such a re-
Darkable display of work, are expected
to make similar display at Ocala.
"The School for the Deaf and Blind,
st. Augustine, will give an exhibition
of the kind of work that is done, n
Guiding the moral and religious train
ing of pupils.
For the first time in the history of
the association will Governor Jennings
OF Florida honor the teachers by COM
ing to their association. Governor
Jennings will be with us, and will ad-
dress the association in his felicitous
style.
''The Rev. Sam P. Jones, who has,
perhaps, addressed larger audiences
and covered in his lecture sermon
tours, a wider range of territory than
any Other minister of speaker now liv-
ing, and who today commands the re-
spect and attention Of the American
people as never before, will lecture
Saturday night and preach Sunday, De-
cember IS and 90.
The afternoon and evening of Sun
day will be devoted to short addresses
from some OF the most noted State di-
vines upon subjects that connect the
teacher with duties in Sunday school
and church work. We have no hesi-
fancy in saying that this period, be-
cause of its practicalness, will be one
OF the most profitable of the entire ses-
sion.
''The citizens of Ocala, having found
that the association promises to be too
large for any single auditorium in the
city, rented large. tent The
occssion. This tent will seat comfort
ably 1000 people, and will be lighted
and heated. Nothing will go undone
that human brains and skill can fur
nish for the perfect comfort of our as
sOciatiOn."

Directors and Citizens Held
Meeting Friday Night
COMMITTEE WASAPPOINTED
Will Make a Thorough Canvass of
the City at Once.

A meeting of citizens and directors
of the University Library Association
was held Friday evening in the rooms
of the library. The object Of the gath
eTing was to discuss the question of
funds, and devise means for the sup
port of the library.
Members have not been very prompt
in paying their dues, which are only
25 cents a month, and. as a result the
receipts have not been near enough to
pay the actual running expenses.
The matter was considered, pro and
con, from every standpoint, and it
was decided to appoint a committee
Of eight ladies to make a complete can
vass of the city for the purpose of Sc
curing enough members to insure the
success of the library. They will call
on the people, and it is to be sincerely
hoped that everybody will lend it all
the assistance in their power. 1t
would be disgrace to Tallahassee to
let the library go under through lack of
support.
The committee will make report Of
its work at a meeting to be held on
December IA. The members, as ap-
pointed by the president, DR.. w. H.
Carter, are as follows: Miss Mary
Lewis, Miss Courtney Walker, Mrs.
]. S. Winthrop, Mrs. Charles Pearce,
Miss Lizzie Tatum, Miss Mary Damon,
Mrs. Phelph Warden Wilson and Miss
Emma Wilson.
No city in the South, of the size of
Tallahassee, has a finer or more ex-
tensiVe free library. 1t contains over
seven thousand volumes, and would be
a credit to any city. The people should
have too much pride in the institution
to let it die. 1t is an educational in
stitutiOn that deserves the best of sup
port and everybody should respond to
the appeal of the directors for aid.
The directors of the University Lii
brary Association are: w. H. Carter,
president; J. T. Bernard, J. 8. Win
throp, J. L. Hngon, Robert Gamble,
y. A. Edmondson, w. C. Lewis, and

MR. CARRIERS APPEAL.

Editor Tallahasseean-t is several
years since 1 have publicly asked help
to extend the pleasures Of the Christ
mas season as far as the Hospital for
the Insane is concerned. So feel to
be free to solicit, through the Tallahas-
seean, that assistance for which have
never yet asked in vain, and which has
been so generously given. We hope
the whole State will help, for there are
nearly seven hundred to be provided
for 1t would be hard to say what
would not be useful, except toys; they
are wholly useless. Fruit and candy
especially will be gladly received, and,
of course, money never comes am1ss:
Donations can be sent to the store OF
Randolph & Son, or to my study.

A WOOD FAMINE.

For the past two weeks Tallahassee
has been suffering from a real wood
famine. AS plentiful as this article
is around and near. the city, it has
been next to impossible to get it.
When cool weather set in some three
weeks ago we called on the Gilmer &
Davis Co. for cord, and found forty
odd orders ahead. They have been
doing all they can apparently to sup
ply the demand, but we havei not been
able to get stick yet-frOm them or
any other source.
The reason, in all probability, is that
the first cold snap bit every farmer's s
sugar cane and they had to go to work
and make it up at once to prevent it
from spelling. Thus the country peO-
pie who usually engage in hauling
wood at this season of the year have
been temporarily shut out of the b usi-
ness. We certainly hope it. will be
more plentiful in the future.

CROP THIS YEAR AND LAST.
9,733,OOO 1O,383,OOO

The correspondents generally re
ported that the weather throughout the
fall had been exceptionally favOTahle
for gathering and moving the crop,
and that it has been marketed very
freely. This crop cost more than usual
to make, which fact enforced early and
prompt sales. 1t has been gathered
earlier than in any previous season,
and has not been held back.
The top crop is total failure. All
say the plant took on new fruit, but
it will not add to the crop, as it was
caught by the cold weather, and will
never open.
There is frequent mention of the
bales being much lighter than usual.
