PECUNIARY VALUE OF LIFE
In announcing his decision. Judge Adams
pointed out that in each case the only
question to be considered by the jury was
the amount recoverable. according TO the
interrf citation Of the statutes. In each. he
said. this was the probable pecuniary
value to the parents of the one whose life
lad been ended
I'm the Eastwood case" he said, 1.-THE
verdict of 5000 has never seemed to me
to be excessive. That was my first i'm
pi ession, and l still maintain it. Young
Eastwood was in good health, creditable
scholar. of excellent character and in all
ways was admirable as a young man of
high promise. The evidence shows that he
had a peculiar aptitude for mechanical
construction, and to some extent employed
his ingenuity to help advance his father $
business.
THE father Is healthy man. and the
jury may have considered the point that
both men naturally would have lived for
twenty-five years more. The son might
have been expected to learn the trade OF
his father. and so his services would ul-
timately have been very useful to the firm.
i am basing this conclusion, you under
stand upon a hopeful rather than a pes
simistic view OF the future. The jury,
infer, probably concluded that substantial
benefits of this kind should be expresssibls
in thousands instead of hundreds of dol
lars. and l am inclined TO agree with the
verdict as rendered.

was very promising young woman.

Doctor Robin. who was my physician on
another occasion.
This dreadful loss has augmented my
illness. and II Is c1sy to picture the worry
TO which my relatives must now be sub

THE principal article among the Jewels
stolen IS superb necklace of pearls. II
Is OF almost priceless value and belonged
to my sister. II Is family heirloom and

The corn crop is one of the
most important on the Southern
farm. We say Southern farm,
because many think that it is
better to let the Western farmer
raise corn for us than it is for us
to raise it for ourselves. They
admit we must have the corn;
but they say we can raise cotton
and buy corn cheaper than we
can raise the corn. This is a
great mistake. 1t is false in fact
and ruinous in practice. BY per-
sisting in this fallacy many have
found themselves in debtand un-
der mortgage and finally sold
out.

utes each day, under the guild
ance of the teachers, the pupils
read and discuss the news of the

is adding interest to the geogra-

canal matter is being employed
for the illustration of geography,
physics and commerce. Intelli-

It was Jacksonville effort this
time, and it consisted of tele-
gram sent to an alleged Demo
lcratic newspaper in Tampa an
nouncing that the liquor dealers
Of Florida had organized and
made deal with Senator Talia-
ferro's friends for mutual sup
port. OF course there was not a
word of truth ia the reference to
the Senator. The alleged "ru-
NOR was manufactured for the
express purpose of injuring Sen
ator Taliaferro before the people
of the State, and few will fail to
detect its purpose or its falsity.
1t was raw, bungling and badly
,bungled job, worthy only of the
'stupidest of stupid would-be po-
litical fake manufacturers.
Another similar Jacksonville
effort occurred a week or two
ago, probably emanating from.
the same source as the above, in
which wild and woody tale of
contemplated land grabbing on
the part of the railroads, to be
pulled off when Davis is elected
Governor, was sent, or purported
to be sent, to a Jennings paper at
Live Oak, and was reproduced in
the same Tampa paper which
contained the aforementioned
fake.
1t is too bad that the intelli-
gence of long-suffering and un-
offending public should be thus
insulted by such transparent at
tempts at political trickery; but
it is fortunate that Florida pos
sesses only two or three publi-
cations low enough in the scale
to admit such stuff to their col
umns.

Mr.. Cooley, Chicago engineer
who has investigated the Panam
canal matter, says the digging of
the great waterway will cost not
less than $500, 900, 900; that it will
not be used as much as might be
expected, and that the govern
ment will never get an adequate
return on the investment. The
revenues from the canal" he
says, will go towards the cost
of maintenance" which means,
it seems, that the revenues will
not pay the cost of the mainte-
nance bill. But, are we going to
build the canal for revenues?
