Copy of the New Compulsory
Education Bill Received.
Requires Children Between Seven
and Fourteen to Go to School
Effective Next Year.
PADUCAH LITTLE AFFECTED

supt. g. M. Lieb. Of the local pub
lie schools, this morning received q
copy of the compulsory educational
bill passed by the last legislature. in
which it makes it imperative for chill.
dren between the years of Z and IA
years to attend school in the state Of
Kentucky for one full term each year.
az consider this one of the best acts
the legislature could have passed."
Supt. Leib stated this morning after
he had perused the bill. Now this
law will go into effect next year, no
emergency clause having been insert
ed which would have made it effective
at once, and as far a. l have investi-
gated think it will affect Paducah but
little.
"There are q number of school chill
dren enumerated in the census who
are older than IA years and If course
this bill will not affect them. Sum-
m ing up the entire lot of school chill
dren who are between the years Of ,
and IA and who are not attending
school, 1 estimate the number not to
exceed 200. So you see Paducah will
be little affected.
In addition to the regulations Of the
school children. the bill provides that
the board of education shall appoint
one truant officer for each 5000 chill
dren, the officer to receive not less
than 81 or more than $3.50 per day.
The offense Of ignoring this bill is
punishable by fine OF not loss than
IS or more than $40 for the first time
and for the second and subsequent
offeuses not moro than $50 or less than
$40. The parent or guardian is fined.

FEW CONFEDERATE SURVIVORS
Those WIZ Have Recently Oie1 -
Those Left From the Civil War.
The Last Senator Dead,

Major Sidney Herbert, of Maitland,
Fla, the Civil War historian of the
South, furnishes the Savannah News
OF Sunday with the following inter-
esting information:
The death Of e1-United States
Senator George G.. Vest, of Mis-
sour, removes from earth the sole
surviving member of the Confed-
crate States Senate. But, as | have
before stated in these letters, his
term of service was very short.
After being in the Confederate Con-
gress as a representative for three
terms near the close Of the last term
January l., 1860 he was tranferred
to the Senate and served until the
surrender. Judge Augustus E. Max
well, of Florida, who served as SEN
ator two full terms, was also a sur
vivor until about two years ago. l
think the only survivors of the Con-
federate House of Representatives
are Pugh, Rails and Jones, of Ala
bama; Hiram P. Bell, of Georgia;
Rev DIR. H. 5. Ford, of kentucky;
Campbell, of Mississippi; Colyar
and Menees, of Tennessee; Pryor
and Goode, of Virginia, and Post
master General John H. Reagan, of
Texas, who is also the sole survivor
of the Confederate cabinet officers.
GeorgIas sole survivor of her Con-
federate congressman, Hon. Hiram
L. Bel, Of Cumming, Ga, has had
an active and prolonged public ca
reer like Postmaster General Rea-
gan, and he is still active and hon
ored in public life, Thirty-two of
his distinguished associates in the
Confederate Congress have passed
from earth, Judge Mark H. Blan-
ford of Columbus, being the last,
and ye, Colonel Bell is spared to be
the sole survivor.

FLORIDA VERSUS CALIFORNIA.
Inc Overshadowing Advantages Pos.
sessed by the Land Of Flowers
Ovcr tho Golden Stste.

DIR. l.. s. RAIDER, of Miami, who
has made an exhaustive inyestipa-
ton OF the conditions existing in
Florida and California as to the supe-
riority or advantages of one section
over the other, records his conclu-
slons as follows in a recent issue Of
the Homeseeker:
Allow me to say that there is
hne enterprising class of people in
all that region California;. They
are full of hospitality and wide
awake concerning the interests of
their part of the country. If we
were as enterprising and would
spend money and energy as ju-
dlciously and freely as they, our land
would soon blossom as the rose. for
we have some natural advantages
over them (The Gazette-News will
here remark that while Florida has
one Henry NJ. Flagler California in
dulges in scores of them, and conse-
quently cannot for the present at
least display like spirit of enter
prise. For our shortcomings in
this direction we plead poverty as
an obstacle that is difficult to over
come
I'm the first place, we have far
better climate than Southern Cali
fornia Our rains come mainly in
the summer and cool and purify the
atmosphere and lay the dust, while
their rain all comes in the winter.
Not one drop of rain falls all sum
mer long to relieve the parched con-
dition. When was there in May
the dust had already become almost
unbearable, and we could not help
wondering what it would be by the
end of summer The heavy cold
fogs which come up from the Pacific
penetrate and chill, but have no
power to lay the palpable dust
The people of Los Angeles said
that the month of May was excep-
tionally cold and disagreeable this
year. Many Of the visitors even
those from Northern climes, con
tracted severe colds, due to the sud
den changes to cold in the nights.
| cannot believe this cold, damp
winter climate suitable for people
with throat or lung troubles
'The other marked advantages we
hold over them is in the raising of
citrus fruits. | made carefully IN
quiry into this matter and find that
they received only Go cents per crate
for their finest pack Of Riverside
Navels the past season. Certainly
no grower of this kind Of fruit in
Florida would think of getting less
than FIVE times that amount. When
YOU take into consideration that all
oranges grown in California are
raised by irrigation at great expense
of time and labor and cash, our adj
vantages begin to be apparent.
This is not all. The great dis
lance of the Pacific coast from the
Eastern markets is an irremcdIable
barrier to the sale of their fruits to
advantage. The entire continent
must be crossed by the fruit before
it reaches the great markets. They
may grow in future years a limited
supply of citrus fruits for local de-
mands, but the long haul will ever
be a barrier to successful competi-
ton with Florida.
However, their worst difficulty IS
deeper seated. They cannot produce
the quality of oranges or grapefruit
in that climate that is natural IN
