THROWING AWAY MONEY.

The people of Gainesville have
sunk money enough in Texas oil
companies during the past two
years to have erected a cotton fac.
tory, giving employment to 400
people, says the Gainesville Sun
DeLand might echo the experience.
Local industries, financed by home
capital, are recognized everywhere
as the strongest factors in the up
building of towns, yet it is almost
impossible to induce local capital
lists to accept the doctrine, much
less act upon it. We have needed
local building and loan association
here for many years. Such an or
ganization would have paid di
rect dividend of 10 to 20 per cent
But our people have continued to
throw away their money, sending it
to Texas, California, Georgia, Ken
lucky, Colorado and other places
All ought to know that small capt.
tai will pay only when given per-
sonal supervision-all do know this;
but they send their money away in
the vain hope of striking something
rich. They never strike it for longer
than few months at the best--iust
long enough to fool them into pour
ing more of their hard earned
money into rat-holes.
Keep your money at home. In
vest it where you can see, once in a
while, what is being done with it,
and where the industries it develops
will help you.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 80, 1903.
DISCARDED FROM PRACTICES.


Martin L. Williams, an attorne,
of DeSoto county and mayor of the
town of Arcadia, has been disbarreo
from practicing in the State of Flor
ida by Judge j. b. Wall. Williams
is charged with having falsifed the
records of Il case appealed to the
Supreme Court. Williams has, ac-
cording to the Tampa Tribune
skipped the country and his where
abouts are unknown. Williams
should have moved to Nolusia coun
~. Here an attorney can forge,
commit perjury, lie in Jail for con-
tempt of court-and even advise a
criminal act by defendant or his
without being disbarred.
That such a thing is allowed is q
reflection on every honest, upright
attorney in the circuit.

These figures lead us to the following
interesting facts:
First. That an uneducated child has
one chance in 100000 of attaining dis
tinction as factor in the progress of
the age.
Second. That common school edu-
cation will increase his chances nearly
four times.
Third. That a high school training
will increase the chance of the common
school boy twenty-three times, giving
him twenty-seven times the chance of
the uneducated.
Fourth. That college education in

WITH MAKERS AND LOVERS OF LITERATURE
THE REFORMER BY Charles M Sheldon

The author of this book has probably
been the recipient of more heartfelt
commentator and more keen barbed
ridicule than any popular writer of re-
cent years. Mr.. She1don's exploitation
of practical Christianity: his demand
that we practice as we'll as preach the
principles of the Man of Galilee, has
marked him out as a notable character
in the worlds of affairs and literature.
However much We may differ with his
conclusions and hold that their appli-
cations are visionary. we cannot deny
that his pen and his style is trenchant.
and that he makes us uncomfortably
conscious of conditions which we are
often apt to ignore. or gloss over.
His latest book deals with the tene-
ment problem in crowded cities, and
the South is just beginning to feel the
1alnt shadows of the evil which hangs
ike nightmare over the congested
centers of the North and West. The
plot revolves about the doings of one
John Gordon, who fills the title role.
Gordon is the son of wealthy, aristo-
cratic parents, pampered with every
hearts desire, reared to feel himself
INFINITELY superior to the masses and
those who soil their hands with manual
labor Through some mysterious met
amorphosis John cultivates the doctrine
that MS present luxurious mode of life
Is sinful, and that it is his duty TO
reach out a helping hand to "tbe oAo-
pie. His belief and the spirit of tbe

quiet skies as stars; voyaging as
clouds; stationary as trees; in vines
visible; shading windows of poverty;
in thrilling mornings; the plover's cry;
child's laughter and child's face;
a boy with dirty and gleeful face; a
woman with love-lit eyes; a leafless
tree in a bare pasture; the distilled
odors of night and dews; listen to the
remonstrance, I'VE scarcely know that

The essential facts of these lives are

stopped short of grand things, he says:

ENGLISH LITERATURE PASSING
FROM UNDER THE SHADOW

gives note of encoura cement to the
men of English letters, while at the
same time throwing out a word of
warning to Americans, declaring that
II she is to continue to forge ahead in
the worlds literature she must look
we'll to her laurels.
1t is gratifying to note that books
by English authors are beginning once
again to attract not only a national,
but international notice, both because
OF their timeliness and because of their
merit. Take for instance De Vets ac-
count OF the Boer campaign; this work
has received favorable comment all
over the world and is considered by
many leading authorities as unequaled
of its kind in any age of the nation.
Mr.. Sidney Lees life of Queen Vic
toria is really one of the masterpieces
of biographical work of the century;
showing in striking and sympathetic
relation the strong and weak points of
Nictoria'S character. Rev. Stopford
Brooke has produced a book on the
poetry of Browning which is a poetic
production in itself, in it's masterful
presentation of the ethics of poetry.
kipling of late has been sending forth
the best work that he has ever attempt
ed, and his kim" will certainly rank
high up in the history of literary pro-
auctions. OF very recent novels work
those showing the largest sales are
"Glengary School Days" Conrad's
book of short stories called Youth"
and Kipling's "Just-So- Stories"
A Russian writer and literatuer has
only recently said: II look to England
to set a new standard for the world S
literature within the next few years.
literary fever is gradually permeat-
ing into the center of the life of the
English people, and I believe in a
short time all eyes will be turned to
England"
Not long before his death it is re-
ported that Gladstone said to a friend
VINO was bewailing the lack of life in
the literary field at that time:
Il believe that the writer's of Eng
land are at present saving their
strength for long and mighty race
race in which the best talent of the
world will find itself hard pressed to
keep even abreast"
The time now seems to be ripe when
these prophecies are to come true, and
America will rejoice with her British
friends and brothers over a triumph
which will rebound to the glory of the
English language.
