come a burden has not been realized.
The abuse of the special privileges
granted in the use of mails by news
papers and periodicals has been cor
rected. and the abuse of the frank
ing system curtaiIed until the deficit
in the post office department is rapid
ly decreasing, and even with the ex-

dications are that the post office de-
come self-sustaining- Even now,
those in charge of the department
are looking forward to the time
when penny letter postage may be
put into force.
The establishment of this system
is increasing the value of every farm
along every rural route. 1t has made
farm life more pleasant and will
have a tendency to make the boys
more contented with farm life and
less apt to drift to the cities. The
success of this great system is an
other victory for the republican
party and as its continuation and ex-
tension depends largely upon having
back of it a party really in sym
Pathy with the system and anxious
to extend it's provisions, the repub-
lican party confidently expects the
support of many farmers who have
already been benefited by it or hope
to receive it's benefits in the future

THE WRECK AND
RUIN COMPLETE,
The Island Of st. Vincent MAY
Sink Into the Sea.

y correspondent Of the Associated
Press has made a visit on horseback to
the devastated district of the island of
st. Vincent, during which he Travelled
litly miles and penetrated to within
five miles of Soufricrc crater, and writes
as follows of the situation
The ash-covercd area of ST. Vincent
exceeds that of Martinique which the
correspondent has also explored. The
most conservative estimate OF the death
rate hc now places at 100. About
800 bodies have already been i'll
tered.
The entire northern part of the is
land is covered with ashes to an aver
age depth Of IS inches, varying from
a thin layer at kingstown to two feet
or more at Georgetown. The crops
arc ruined, nothing green can be seen,
The streets Of Georgetown are cumbcr-
ed drifts, and ashes rest 80 heavily on
the roofs that in several cases they
have caused them to fall in
There will soon be 5000 destitute
persons IN need of assistance from the
government which is already doing
everything possible to relieve the suf-
fercrs. There are a hundred INJURED
people in the hospital at Georgetown.
Gangs of men arc scal ching for the
dead or rapidly burying them in
trenches, and al that can be done
under the circumstances is being ac-
complishcd.
While the outbreak Of the volcano
on the island of Martinique killed more
people outright, more territory has
been ruined in st. Vincent, and honcc
there is greater dcsttuLion. The in
jurcd people were horribly burned by
the hot grit which was driven along
| with tremendous velocity. Twenty
six persons who sought refuge IN a
! room ten feet by twelve were all killed
| Onc person was braincd with huge
stone nine miles from the crater.
Rough collins are being made to re-
| ccivc the remains 4" the victims. The
hospital IS filled with dying people.
Fifty injured persons are lying on the
Iloor Of that building, as there are no
beds for their accommodation, though
cots are being rapidly constructed of
boards. This and similar work has
| bcen IN progress since Immediately
after the disaster. Two days elapsed
however, before there were any burlals
.s the negroes refused to dig the ncccs-
AIRY trenches, though they were Of
| tered three times the usual wages by
the local authorities. The nurses en-
ploycd are incompetent, but they are
willing TO learn and are working hard.
The negroes are Indifferent to all that
10 transpirng and to what has takcr.
place. They expect to receive govern
ment rations, but there have been m
stances whore they have refused to
bury their own relatives.
1t is estimated that the sea has en-
| croachcd from ten feet to two miles
| along the coast near 'ieorgctown, and
! hat section on the north of the is
land has dropped into the sea. This
is apparently certified by the report of
he French cab!cshIp pouyer Quarter,
that soundings now show seven fathoms
where before The outbreak there was
3G fathoms Of water.

The new enterprise. (Madison, Fla.) 1901-1908, 1902-05-29
WISE WORDS,

Enthusiasm is the headlight on the
train Of progress.
A gift has no value whatever save
In how it is used.
The successful man never regrets
the cost of his experiences.
When we get justice-the reality-we
may dispense with charity, the sham.
Never build upon a possibility; there
by you will be saved much disap-
pointment.
The axe cleaves the wood, but it is
largely because Of the weight Of the
poll behind the edge. =
After eating we allow time for d.
gestion. After reading, how much
time do We allow for thought?
Both man and woman solve many
vital problems by guess. The only
difference lies in the fact that in wo-
man 1t is called instinct and in man
reason.
Life is so complicated q game that
the devices Of skill are liable to be
defeated at every turn by air-blown
chances, incalculable as the descent Of
thistle down.
Charity must never become a tax;
unless there are in it the sweetness
and tenderness Of free impulse and
human inclination it loses its value
and purpose.
every moment you now lose is so
much character and advantage lost;
as on the other hand, every moment
you now employ usefully is So much
time wisely laid out at prodigious in,
terests.
The new enterprise. (Madison, Fla.) 1901-1908, 1902-05-29
THE DEAD POET.

His was the love Of art and song,
And well he loved the howery way;
Yet great his wrath at prospered wrong;
When evil triumphed day by day
Then plunged he in the fray
And when brave innocence went down
Then did the vanquished find a friend
With him went justice through the town;
No foeman ever saw him bend;
He scorn for scorn could send,
Men said his heritage was lost;
For, born to gentler use, his youth
Was wasted in rude strife; the cost
Too great, they deemed, although in sooth,
Through him men learned of truth.
So were his songs but brief and few;
Yet of some lives they were a part,
And on some souls they fell like dew;
Dead-now men say: he gave r. art
The epic of the heart. T

ard Watson Glider.
