AT a recent term of the crimi-
nal court at DeLand, a case re-
gardiug the Interpretation of the
law passed in the last Legisla.
ture placing a tax Of $50 upon
turpentiue operators was made
up. The tax collector claimed
that the operators must pay the
full $50 for the year, from the
time the law went into effect,
August 4th, but the court ruled
in favor of the operators, stat.
ing that the license must run
like other licenses, from the
date of the law until October
1st and then by the year. The.
Interpretation Of the law in this
instance was undoubtedly cor.
rect, and as it was inteded, and
will bring relief to a great many
of the operators, some of whom
have already refused to pay for
the full year.-Quincy Times.

THE CAMPAIGN OF 1904.

The Punta Gorda picnic af.
lorded those interested in poll.
tics an excellent opportunity to
Judge the characteristics of the
many candidates and to gain an
idea of the plans to be followed
ia the campaign. The speeches
OF the various aspirants, the at
titude of the crowd; in fact ev.
erything proved conclusively
that the Democratic party in
this State is sadly divided into
three distinct factions, whose
differences are most pronounced.
Heretofore there have existed
two factions-one representing
interests autagonistic to the
corporations, and the other ia
voring them. AS a result, all
contests were fought out along
these lines.
But since the present admin.
istration came into poweranoth-
err element has been arising un.
til to-day it has assumed suffi
cient proportions to make it a
power to be reckoned with in a
senatorial or any other contest
This faction has and will con.
.inue to pursue a "middle.of.
:he'road" policy, and by meth
DDS that will appeal to hang
'rs-on, will receive recruits from
he other two factions. In this
wise Mr.. Jennings desires to
aud in the Senate. This, in a
nut she'll, is the plan upon which
he Governor and his followers
ope to wage a winning cam.
align.
The policies that Messrs, Tai
lferro and Stockton, the lead
rs of the old factions, will fol- =
Nv, are too well known to need :

primer will run upon his record, ,

hat the divergence of opinion r,
these gentlemen will lead to =,
'me exciting scenes there can a,
lrdly be any doubt. Person. e
tiles will certainly play a con.
'icuous part IN their canvass.

IL not occupy the political &C
ige alone, for all the offices be

On Shaking Hands.

Did you ever stop to think about
the custom of shaking hands, and won
der why it is that we always shake the
right hand Probably you have never
thought about it at all, or, If you have
you think that the only reason for us
ing your right hand is that you were
taught not to use your left one, says
the Buffalo Courier. In reality this
custom now so common is very an
cient one, and it originated in this way
In the days when people we're not as
peaceable as they now are, and when
each man settled his quarrels in his
own way, every man carried sword or
dagger to defend himself. The sword
was worn on his left side, where the
right hand could quickly grasp it tor
use in time OF peril.
Therefore, when a man wi shed to
show that he was friendly, he extended
his right hand, which would be clasped
by the others right hand, If he, too,
meant peace. Thus each could be
sure that the other would not draw
his sword,
With the dawn of more peaceful
times the custom lost its One-time pur-

meaning-to show friendship.

A Beautiful Thing.

Christian Herald.
That was q beautiful thing when the
German government had fifty tons Of
gun metal that had been captured in
war melted and transformed into church
bells. This is the best possible use fos
cannon. They may not In that way
make a. much noise, but the sound
they do send forth will be more melo-
dious and grateful. How much trans
formation will be necessary before we
can turn our arsenals into asylums and
our cannon can 80 change tone and
shape az to be fit for our church towers
= We want fewer things to kill
men, and more things with which to
save them /; and as spesrs are ont oil
date, 50 that We cannot turn them into
pruning hooks, we want by some CON-
mand Of King OF Kings all the the gun
metal Of the earth changed into church
bells, and then good strong arms ia
ring them for . thousand years With
Peace on earth, good Win 70 men,"
