Concerning the talented princi-
pal of the Normal Department at
the West Florida Seminary, ( the
Miami Metropolis recently had this
to say: "The State Seminary at
Tallahassee is fortunate in securing
the services of Prof. L. W. Buchholz:
of Tampa, for years the county sup
erintendent of public instruction
and one of the foremost educators in
the State. Through his ability the
schools of Hillsborough have become
the equals of any in the State, and
surprising those in some of the Older
and more densely populated sections.
AS a wide-awake, progressive, de-
voted educator, Prof. Buchholz has
no superior, and will prove a valua-
BILE acquisition to Leon"

ALUMINuM MRnSES

1.-Two years ago when the Klondike
feRer was at its highkst point, one
man saw the necessity # establishing
living places for the MANY who were
bound to those gold-Aden regions.
He conceived the idA of making
small houses of alumiS Sum, and car
ried out his idea by aYing sheets of
proper size made for 81 1ipment there.

IN MEMORIAM.

One by one the old landmarks of
our country in the persons of our
pioneer citizens are passing away,
and soon the last human link which
connects the busy bustling present
with the earnest and heroic past will
have been severed and much of the
valuable unwritten history of our
State will be lost.
Miss Martha Jane Harvey was
born in GadSden county August 8,
1924, and died at the home of her
brother, near JacksOn's Bluff, on
March IA, 1901. Here she had re-
sided almost from infancy. The
stirring events of the Indian Wars
of 1885 and later, were vivid mem
Ories with her. This eyentful period
Of midnight surprises and bloody
massacres no doubt contributed
largely toward the formation of that
strong and self-reliant character
which distinguished her in after life.
Her sphere Of action was limited
to the home circle and the immedi-
ate neighborhood, yet upon all who
came within the range of her in
fuence she left an impression foF
good.
Perhaps the most remarkable and
prominent traits Of her character
was her purity of mind, and the ut
ter absence Of a criticizing spirit.
Those who knew her best have often
said she was the most pure minded
person they had ever known, and
those most constantly with her tes-
tify that they never knew her to
speak i'll of any human being. This
is eulOgy sufficient if no more were
said How few can claim such an
eDitaph. She lived a quiet and use
full life, she was willing to sacrifice
self for the benefit Of others, always
ready to emulate the self-abnegation
of the Savior she loved and served
so many years.
She had been a consistent member
Of the Methodist Episcopal Church
South since girlhood, was conscious
of her approaching end and died in
the faith. May God comfort the
hearts of the bereaved brothers and
sisters, all now in the decline of life,
and may they realize when they de-
part hence a glorious reunion with
the loved and lost. A. L. W.

would protect the forests, they would
confer both upon the State and
themselves an inestimable benefit.
Or could they bring themselves to
seek some adequate legislation upon
the subject, the same end might per-
haps be reached by another road.
In any case, it is only a question
of time when some precautionary
method of conservation must be
taken, and in all cases it is wise to
take time by the forelocks and meet
the inevitable half way.

MEN TO ENCOURAGE.

Under the above caption the
Gainesville Sun crowds a whole lot
of sense into short space. 1t says:
"Those men who are seeking to
build up and advance the interests Of
Florida, no matter who they are, or
from whence they came, are the men
who should meet with the most en-
couragement. They are the men upon
whom mainly depends the growth
and prosperity of the State. With out
their energy, enterprise and public
spirit, there would be little or no ad-
vancement. They do not work for
themselves alone. They do not seek
to promote their interests at the pub
lie expense. They do not permit
selfshness, prejudice or malice to
enter into the conduct of their busi-
ness affairs. They do not attempt to
tear down legitimate business. They
believe in the creation Of that sort Of
wealth which comes from the devel-
opment of natural resources, and
which is beneficial to all"

IAMONIA ITEMS.
(By Bisnark.)

All the white schools of this vicin-
ity have closed, that of Miss Ellen
CrOmartie, at Forshala, being the
last to close.
DR.. Robertson has added a new
and commodious room to his resi-
dence.
Ever since July 1, 1900, we have
had double daily mail on this, the
ThOmasville, via Sunny Hill,
IiamOnia, Centerville, Bradfordville
and Tallahassee Mail Route.
The peach trees are showing a full
and beautiful inforescence and give
promise Of a bountiful crop of
peaches. Some farmers have begun
to plant corn.
The cOlored people of Sunny Hill
and vicinity have hauled the lumber
and intend to build a 'Lodge of Odd
Fellows" about one mile west Of said
place, on the lands of Cain Meek,
colOred.
Little Fanny Lee, infant daughter
Of Mr.. and Mrs Marshall Courtney,
died Of Group on the 18th inst, ant.
was buried Thurs1a evening, 18th
inst, in the Hall Cemetery, near
Sunny Hill, Rev. G. T. Brown con-
Quoting the burial service. We ex-
tend our sympathies to the bereaved
parents and friends.
A, negro man named DR.. Daniels
was found dead on the lands of A. G.
Brown, about two miles east of here,
and by a jury of inquest held by the
coroner Of Thomas County, Ca, it
was decided that he came to his
death by natural dause, and he was
buried where found. This occurred
on Wednesday, the 18th inst.
Mrs. A. J. Lilesi land two children
are visiting relatives in Bethpage

a pleasant visit.
Rev. E. E. Rose, preacher in
charge Of Metcalf Circuit, preached
a very instructive and interesting
sermon at Bethpage Church on yes
terday, the third Sunday in this

Is Sufficient for Thee, ETC." Here
after Brother Rose will preach at
Bethpage on the first Sunday in each
month and the Saturday evening be-
fore.

There is some objection, we under
stand, to the City Council hiring an
attorney and paying the expenses of
conducting the proceedings being
taken against the water company.
We cannot see upon what grounds.
The city made a contract with the
water company by which the latter
receives from the former $2,4OO a
year and is allowed by a charter,
granted in connection with the MAX
ing OF the contract, to charge certain
specified meter rates. When the
water company attempts to charge
more than the rates so specified it
seems to US that it becomes the duty
Of the Council to take such steps as
are necessary to prevent it. The
small consumers, as every one knows,
are among the poor people. These
people pay more than their proper
tion of the $2,4OO (for it is admitted
the small property holder pays the
lions share of taxation). Then why
should not the city protect them in
this fight, where they are unable, in
many instances, to protect them
selves?

THE DISPENsARY LAW.


The South Carolina dispensary
nav. perhaps more generally known
as 1hfman's Law" is gainingl in
popularity, as it grows older. Where
at was formerly ridiculed, as one of
Ben Iillman's vagaries,i it is now sd-
united to be a pretty good thing,
sand many of its features are being
enacted into law in other States.
While passing through South Car
Fonna last fall with the Florida
1Fress Association the writer had an
opportunity to observe some of its eff
1ects, and no one can successfully
dispute that they are good. When the
'demberance people resort to it for
Regulating the whiskey traffic, they
will be able, in our opinion, to do
some real good, and we seriously
Sdoubt If they can ever go beyond
regulating it.
|4s every one knows, who is at all
Hamlllar with the drinkers habits,
he commences getting on spree, Jas
rule, by treating" friend, or by
being "treated" by a friend. Thistis
impossible under the South Carolih ha
AaW, for the reason that no lquorIis
allowed to be drunk on the premia aes
'Whexe 1t is sold. It is purchased by
THE State in bulk, tested by the
Estate chemist for purity, etc., tn en-
Eepacked in kegs, jugs, bottles pr
eother packages suitable for distribb-
ation to the sub or city dispensariSs.
The consumer goes into the lattSr
Eplaces and calls for what he wants.
He is sure of getting it, for in ada-
Zion to the usual brand each package
must bear the State seal in wax 3r
.other ceiling material on the stopper.
1t is given him with the warming, if,
he is stranger, that the seal must
mot be broken upon the dispensafy
premises. Thus the obnoxious treat
-ang system is absolutely destroyed.
If there was no other feature to
commend it this would be a good one
-3n its favor, but there are others.
1t cannot be objected to On tile
ground that the State, counties anil
ecities would lose so much revenue
,either The State, buying in such
large quantities, of course gets dis
counts larger than the average
wholesale houses. The profits OH
sBales are then very large. The city

10 the county and municipal govern
