COMPETITION FOR TRUCK.
New Refrigerator Service Driving Express
Company Out OF Business.
From the Ocala Star.

From the Ocala Star.
The Southern Express company, which
has heretofore had complete control OF
and mOnopolized the express business OF
this state, has at last met its Waterloo,
and the growers have freed themselves
from its crushing, grasping power and
are now rejoicing over the service rem
dered them by the refrigerator COM
panies.
There are now three different lines op-
Grating in the state and covering all the
truck producing sections of Florida.
The business of these companies has
now reached snch proportion that they
were forced to increase their rolling stock
and have Just purchased from the Cali
fornia Fruit Transportation company 500
of their largest and most improved re-
frigerator cars, which are now distributed
at all truck points throughout the state,
and as they cover the largest territory
are practically handling the bulk of the
Florida truck crop.
The results obtained from the refrig-
orator service are indeed gratifying to
the growers and have surpassed their
most sanguine hopes and expectations,
and never before have they been so hap
py and prosperous, as all crops thus far
marketed have reached destination in
perfect condition and commanded prices
heretofore unknown, the refrigerator
shipments always commanding prices
fully twice that of express goods and in
some instances many times more.
Only few days ago the writer was
shown sales of a test case by one of our
largest growers, who in this particular
instance was desirous of satisfying him.
self as to the results of express and re-
| frigerat0r goods.
He had shipment of "a baskets of
beans and placed - in refrigerator car
for Boston, sending the other 81 baskets
by express to some other market the
same day.
The result was he received S. for the
express shipment and $50 for the same
number by refrigerator.
The rate is - cents package less to
all points, and unless the express com
pany reduces its present rates and grants
better service and consideration TO its
patrons, it will within another year do
little or no business throughout the state

Nose Maxwell and Tom Thomas, two
unruly negroes in Snwannee county,
were killed late Saturday afternoon just
east of WellbOrn. Maxwell was living
on Mr.. O'Cain's plantation and abused
O'Cain's family Saturday morning be-
cause O'Cain refused him an order for
goods. After the negro left the house
OCain went TO Live Oak on business.
Maxwell. with his colleague Thomas, re-
turned to the house in the afternoon
armed with pistols and shOtguns to kill
O'Cain. Not finding him there they
stationed themselves in the road where
they thought 0'Cain would pass. Just
before sunset twelve or fifteen shots were
heard and when the neighbors arrived at
the scene the two negroes were found
dead. A pOstmortem examination fol-
lowed.

Manual Training for Teachers.

The session of the State Summer school
for the training of teachers which wili
be held at st. Petersburg this GUNNER,
beginning on June oath, is Of more than
passing interest to Florida teachers, ow-
ing TO the fact that, for the first time In
the educational history of the state, q
course in manual training will be offered
in completely equipped, modern, up-to-
date manual training school.
Last summer philanthropic citizen OF
ST Petersburg built and equipped this
school as department of the st. Peters
burg public school. While the building
was being erected, Prof. Jos. E. Guisln-
ger, the principal of the st. Petersburg
public school, went to New York city in
order to take a course of instruction in
Teachers college, which is department
of Columbia university, and to select the
latest and best kinds of machinery and
tools for the equipment of the building.
Prof Guisinger found that the most APP
proved system of manual training for the
upper grades of the puGlic school is what
is known as the Sloyd system
Sloyd is a Swedish word meaning
sleight or handicraft, or hand training.
The SlOyd system originated in Sweden
where for many years manual training
has been taught in the schools. Prof
Guisinger was fortunate in having for his
instructor in Sloyd, in Teachers college,
Mr.. Oswald K. Eklof, graduate of the
Institute of Pedagogy and SlOyd, at
Stockholm, Sweden. The equipment for
Sloyd work at st. Petersburg is in every
respect as good as the equipment for that
work at Columbia university, in New
York city, and the teachers of Florida
will have an opportunity of taking a
course in manual training at the St. Pc
tersburg summer normal which will be
the same as that offered at Columbia uni
versity. Owing to the appropriations for
summer schools for teachers made by the
Florida legislature and the trustees of the
Peabody fund, the instruction to be given
at St. Petersburg summer school is free
to all persons preparing to teach in Flor
ida. At the Columbia university the
tuition fee for the instruction in manual
training is $50.
Hon. VIM. n. Sheats, state superin-
tendent of public instruction, who has
labored so faithfully to establish the state
summer schools for teachers, has taken a
wise step in providing for instruction in
manual training at tie ST. Petersburg
summer school. Instruction in all of the
subjects in which teachers are expected
to pass in the September examinations
will be given at this summer school.
A good faculty for this school has been
selected 1t consists of DIR. II. NJ. Evans,
president of the Normal university at
Chattanooga. Tenn, as principal; Prof
Jos. +. Guisinger, of the st. Petersburg
public schools, as first assistant, and Miss
Rowena Longmire, of Barlow, as second
assistant. The school opens on June "a,
and will continue two monthG.
On account of the facilities for salt
water bathing and the cool breezes from
Tampa bay and the Gulf of Mexico, St.
Petersburg is an admirable location for
one of the summer schools

The Y. n. C. Association.

The Boston international con-
vention of last week celebrated the
'jubilee" anniversary of the Young
Mems Christian association, which
has been organized in the United
States since 1851, so it is just 90
years old in this country. 1t was
first founded in London in 1874 by
George Williams. The first asso-
Citations in this country were
formed in New York, Boston and
Philadelphia, and since then it has
spread all over the world wherever
the Christian religion is known,
and its growth has been steadily
forward and an untold amount of
good has been accomplished by it.
Most of the phenomenal growth
and power of this association has
been attained within the last thir-
ty years, for at its inception it was
too sedate and solemn in its ways
to become popular with the masses.
In its earlier days it afforded
place of study and devotion to
young men who were religiously
inclined, consequently it failed to
attract men without religious con-
victions, who regarded the meet
ings as rather cherries, and given
almost exclusively to the singing
of hymns and psalms and praying.
After the second decade of its
existence there appeared number
of geniuses who realized that the
power of the association could be
immeasurably increased by giving
it a more liberal basis and setting
it upon a broader foundation with
out sacrificing any of its Christian
spirit. From that time its evolu-
tion progressed until we have the
association as it exists today, a
pleasant, cheerful club for young
men in which all worthy impulses
are sought to be gratified and every
high ambition strengthened.
The association rooms are fitted
out for comfort, libraries stocked
with choice books and the best
periodicals, both religious and sec
ular; there is generally a gymnas-
ium under the supervision of an
expert in physical culture, with
bath attached; musical instru-
ments for those who play, tables
for games, etc.
Glasses in various studies are
taught by competent preceptors,
and lectures by brilliant men are
arranged and delivered under the
auspices of the association. Thus
the organization appeals to both
the intellectual and physical nat
ures, and by catering to these un-
der careful direction appeals also
to the spiritual nature. 1t seeks to
encourage sound and well stored
minds in sound and well developed
bodies, and to assist in a quiet
way as an adjunct to the church.
1t has a vast field to work in and
its ambitions lead it to develop
that field to the fullest extent that
a fine supply of brain power is
capable of doing, and what great
things will be accomplished within
the next fifty years is beyond the
comprehension of present man.
