completion in the heart of Afri-

twill run over mountain and
plain for $40 miles, from Longo-
lode, on the Congo Railroad, to
Popokabada, on the Kuango.
The British Government is
building the road; and the work
is being done by hundreds of ma
tives, under the direction of sew
en- army officers. The road is
intended as a feeder to the rail-
road. Automobiles are TO do the
hauling, and a special lot of these
have been ordered by the Gov
eminent. Each autocar is ex-
pected to carry a load of two
tons, and TO make about the same
rate that wagon trains would
make.
Where the road runs over the
plains il is being constructed
twenty-seVen feet wide, but IN
the mountains il will be but fif-
teen feet wide, or only just
enough for two vehicles TO pass.

ed. There is any amount Of
kicking in Florida just now, and
it is both ways, too. The under
valuation of property is pointed
out and criticised, aud the in.
crease is strenuously demurred
to by the owner. It has been
suggested several times that il
would be a good plan to adver-
tise the assess ments of the vari-
Gus counties, so that people could
draw their own conclusions as to
the proper figures.
The law requires a full cash
value, and the State Comptroller
has requested assessors to en-
force it, but many of them can
not get it up more than two-tbirds
or one-half, and still owners kick
against that.
There is no use of levying a
larger tax than is needed to paw
current expenses, and such is
the intention of our government,
and hence some of the assessors
claim that they are governed by
this rule.
There is no doubt but what
some property is assessed too
high apdssome too low, but there
seems to be no remedy for this,
as it has prevailed for years. A
proper and just equalization
would be very hard to make, but
il should be attempted, and then
all would pay their Just proper
ton, and so much kicking would
cease. No one delights to pay
taxes, and some property owners
would kick at any amount, and
some are doing it right now

The Crystal River News,
whose editor is certainly level
headed on how to build up town
makes the following statement
in it's current issue:
More towns die for want of
confidence on the part of the bus
mess men and lack of public
spirit than from rivalry of neigh
boring towns or adverse sur
roundings. When a man in
search of a business location
goes to a town and finds every
thing brimfull of hope aud en-
thusiasm over the prospects of
the place and the people earnest
1Y endeavoring to build up the
town, he soon becomes imbued
with the same spirit and as a re-
suit drives down his stakes and
goes in with the same interest.
When. however, he goes to a
town and every one expresses
doubt and apprehension in the
future prosperity of The place,
moping about INDUCING in
mourning complaint about mag
mary evils which are likely to
befall the town, he naturally
feels it is no place for him and at
once shakes the dust from his
feet and pulls with all possible
speed to some other town.

The Calvin vagrancy law is do
ing the proper thing over in
Georgia. It is Kidding the state
of the worthless class of negroes
and whites-if they can't leave
the state they are put to work by
the authorities. The test, so
far, has been confined to the lar
ger cities. More than one hum
dred negroes were taken up in
Macon in one week. A white
preacher was recently taken up
in Atlanta for having his wife La
Dor at so cents per day when he
could get $l.O0 per day. He pre-
fers lounging around on the
streets every day and let his
wife earn the bread for the fam
lily. Hurah for the vagrancy
law, and we hope to see Florida
have one.

A TURPENTINE OBJECT LESSON.

IF the storm that recently pass
ed over Florida did nothing else,
it at least demonstrated the TACT
that the system of boxing" pine
trees now employed by our tur-
pentine men must go.
The injury inflicted by a sys-
tenn which cuts so deeply into
the trees that thev yield to the
first blast of such a storm as
that which has just swept the
state must, in many instances,
have been irreparable. And even
where the trees have been left
standing, they must be in a con-
dition that will render them an
easy prey to the first forest fire
that shall next spring ravage the
state.
That all this may be forever
obviated by the employment of
the Herty cup system is a fact
we'll known to all who have given
the subject the attention it's i'm
portance demands.
The use of this cup renders
unnecessary those deep incisions
which weaken the taee-which

the Legislature, II must be passed upol
by the governor.
Although not introduced until late
Monday night. the bill was reported 10

II similar speed IS to be maintained. Il
may be put through the first and second

passage in the house early next week
II is learned that Mr. Philips. OF
Lackawanna, who introduced the meas
.ure. did so at the request OF men who
are directing the legislative operations
OF the Philadelphia Republican organiza-
ton and that they are managing its
course.
The bill provides for a State racing
commission TO consist OF Joseph f

The officers who have athletics in
