800 IN ADVANCE
Almost a Disastrous Fire.

Last Monday morning during the
high wind Harry Drake, who lives out
north Of town, heard an unusual noise
in an upstairs room, He proceeded to
investigate the cause, and upon open
ing the door of the stairway was met
by a cloud of dense, black smoke. He
hastened up, and, though the room
was SO full of smoke that he could
scarcely see, discovered that a table
which had stood against the fiue was
almost entirely burned and n bed
standing near was on fire. Water was
hastily secured and with the help OF a
wet carpet the fire was extinguiShed.
1t appears that there was an opening
for the stove pipe in the fiue upstairs.
but as it was not used, it was closed
up with paper. The high wind prob
ably caused the sparks to set fire to
the paper, which burned out and
dropped to table which stood against
the flue. A lamp stood on this table,
and the bed was near. 1t was probab-
ly the explosion of the lamp or the
noise of the falling table which at
tracted Mr.. brakes attention to the
upper room just in time to save his
house. Miss Sadie Friant, who stays
with Mr.. brakes family and attends
school, occupied the room and lost
nearly all her clothing. Mr.. brakes
loss included some clothing, the table,
bed and bedding. 1t is lucky the loss
was not greater.

The ssPowers" About to Fight.

The relations between the British
and Russian troops in China are very
strained and war is imminent. The
British are trying very hard to involve
the United States in the trouble as
they appear to be afraid to attack the
Russian bear single handed. 1t will
be a great misfortune indeed if the
president allows the United States to
be duped by England, our traditional
enemy, into lighting Russia, our ira
ditionai friend. A war at this time
would most likely involve all the ma
tions of Europe.

EX-PreSident Harrison is a fOrcible
and felicitous speaker and writer. He
is now contributing to the North
American Review, under the head of
"Musings on Current Topics, " a series
of the most brilliant articles it has
been our privilege to read for more
Years than we care to count. They
possess the familiar beauty of diction,
elevation of thought and felicity of eX-
preston. They are animated by the
and the luminous philosophy by which
he has been distinguished throughout
his public career. The whole country
will rejoice in his advice. The whole
country will be uplifted by the stand
ard he erectS for their observance. To
hear him is to hear clarion ring. To
consider his admOnitionS is to eXper-
fence moral elevation.
In the March number of the Review
mentioned, Mr.. Harrison discusses
the proposed British Alliance" and
the "Boer War" We may pass by the
former subject, since Mr.. HarriSon'S
analysis of the 'Boer War; sufficient
ly discloseS the disgrace that would be
involved (for u.s. in the British AL
lance. He says:
"The British intervention in South
Africa was not a response to any ap-
peal from SO much as fragment of
the Boer people. They were not only
content with the government they
he'd Instituted, but passionately de-
voted to it, with readiness to die for
it that took no account of age or sex.
No Boer in the Transvaal desired to
become British subject; but very
many British subjects in Cape Colony
were so unappreciative of the advan-
tageS of their condition as such that
they desired to throw it off for citi-
ZenShip in Dutch republic. In other
words, the men who were diScontent-
ed and rebelliOuS were not the citizens
of the TranSvaal or of the Orange
Free State, but those men of Dutch
descent whose grandfathers had by
conquest become British subjects.
"Great Britian'S intervention in
South Africa was against united
people living in content-an ignorant
content if you please-under govern
ment of their own constitution; and
the ground of the intervention was
ostensibly the interests of British sub
jectS sojourning there. -
Mr.. Harrison then proceeds to sug-
geSt the cowardice of England's ac-
tion by showing that no powerful and
self-reSpecting government would
have answered her impudent COM
plants save by a fat refusal, and by
asserting that such refusal would
have promptly terminated England's
activity in the premises. He declares
that the United States would have SO
replied, avoiding the unamiabIe but
none the less true assertion that. in
the case of the United States, England
would not have ventured upon an

East Coast ChautauGua.

The fifth annual session of the East
Coast chautauqua will be held in Mel
bourne March 1st to 18th inclusive. The
program is now out, and may be had by
addressing the secretary, @. j. F. Camp
bell, Melbourne. 1t includes an unusual
ly pleasing variety of entertainment, and
is especially strong in its musical feat
ures. There will be four grand concerts,
two of them given by the Chicago Glee
club and two by the CeciliAn Lady quar-
tette, of Cleveland. The glee club will
be present during the first five days of
the chautauqua, and the quartette during
the last six days. Miss Irene F. Horner,
soprano, will be with the glee club, and
Miss Evelyn Morgan. violinist, and Mrs.
Belle X. Adams, reader, with the quar-
tette. The chautauqua will furnish a
rich treat for lovers of good music.
Other names on the program are Clin-
ton Z. Lloyd, of Cleveland, in Shakes
perean recitals; Hon. w. l.. Woodcock,
of Altoona, Pa, in a lecture to young
people; DIR. John w. Sanborn, F. r. S.,
with two interesting lectures on the Iro-
quois Indians, with a large collection of
curios and stereopticon views; and Rev.
R. ]. Morgan with two lectures, one on
Life Among the Crackers" and the
other ga Thousand Miles Up the Nile"
with stereopticOn views.
Prof Fl. f. Stockbridge, of the Florida
Experiment station, will conduct farm
er's institute for two days, treating of a
variety of practical topics. He will also
deliver a lecture on ''The Japanese Peo-
pie at Home" Mrs. Olivia S. Hall, of

conduct the SUNDAY school normal class.
Mrs. Ii. Augusta Ennis, of DaytOna, will
have charge of the children's depart
ment.
This chautauqua is designed to furnish
the people of the East Coast and their
visitors such advantages as are enjoyed
by the patrons of the many summer
chautauquas in the northern states. The
people of Melbourne are putting their
money in it from year to year because
they want the benefit of the progra ms,
and they are especially anxious that resi-
dents of other towns shall take advan-
tage of these opportunities to get week
or two of musical and intellectual enjoy
ment.
An effort will be made to furnish ac-
commodations for the people of this sec
ton at the lowest possible rate. Parties
desiring to board themselves should COM
municate as early Is possible with Fee &
Stewart for particulars.

THE committee from the western
part of this state that visited the
Alabama legislature on Tuesday
and discussed before a joint session
the question of annexing West
Florida to Alabama, assigned TO
the Alabama people an easy part
in the undertaking. 1t is said that
if the Alabama people would do
the welcoming they would do the
fighting. There can be but little
doubt of the willingness of the
Alabamians to undertake the part
assigned to them, but the question
comes up, will the West Floridians
meet with much encouragement
from the people in other parts of
the state? 1t seems to us that the
have undertaken a
good deal more than they are like
ly to accomplish. The people of
Florida are quite proud of their
state and would rather see it en-
larged in territory than cut down.

PrOposed Changs In School law


The following proposed change
in the school law of Florida, relat-
ing to the millage, giving the local
option feature of raising the school
tax as high as eight mills in such
school districts as may favor the
raise, has been suggested by School
Superintendent Minis and MEM
bers of the board of public instruc-
ton:
AN ACT to Amend Paragraph Fourteen
of Section PAP of the Revised Statutes
of the State of Florida in Reference to
the Duties Of the Boards of Public In
struction.
Be 1t Enacted by the Legislature of the
State of Florida:
SECTION 1. That paragraph fourteen of
Section 242 of the Revised Statutes of the
State OF Florida be and is hereby amend
ed 50 as to read as follows:
Fourteenth. The board of public in
struction in each county shall, on or be-
fore the last Monday in June of each
year, prepare an itemized estimate show
ing the amount of money required for
the maintenance of the necessary COM
mon schools of their county for the next
ensuing scholastic year, stating the
amount in mills on the dollar of the tax
able property Of the county, which shall
be not less than three nor more than five
mills, unless at said meeting there shall
be presented to the board petition
signed by a majority of the registered
voters of the county who are taxed for
real or personal property in the county,
requesting higher tax, when the millage
fixed in the petition may be adopted, but
not to exceed eight mills, and furnish a
copy of the statement to the assessor of
taxes of the county, and file copy In
the Office of the board of public instruc-
ton and the assessor shall assess the
amount so stated, and the collector shall
collect the amount assessed and pay over
the same monthly to the county treas
urer, who is also by law school treasurer,
to be used for the sole benefit of the
public schools.
SEC. 2. That all laws and parts of laws
act be and the same are hereby repealed.
SIC. 3. This act shall take effect i'm
mediately upon its approval by the gov
ernor.
The reader will note that it is
drawn about on the same lines as
Brevard's special road law, which
has now been taken advantage of
in two districts in this county for
two years, and will be tried in the
Fourth district this year.
We feel that if the local option
feature was a good thing in refer
ence to improving our roads that
it will be better one for the cause
of education.
The school board and superin-
tendent of this county will send a
copy of this proposed change to
members Of the Legislature, to the
state press, and to the chairman of
boards of public instruction and to
the school superintendent of all
the counties in the state, asking
their investigation and co-opera-
tion in the move to make it ap-
plicable to the whole state.
Brevard, as well as many other
counties, has felt the need for
higher millage than the present
limit for many years. This pro-
posed law, if passed, will raise the
extra amount to place our public
schools on a higher and better
basis. We feel that the people of
this county will favor the proposed
change. Comment, either favor
able or adverse, will be acceptable
to our columns.
