why Lake City Lost Out

Lake City originally had a great
advantage in the race for this posi-
ton in having number of fine build
ings, and other things being equal
she should have undoubtedly won the
race. She owes her defeat, however,
largely to two distinguished citizens
of her county, DR.. Julian and Mr..
Persons, members of the recent legis-
lature, from Columbia county.
After the committee to visit this in
stitution, without making the proper
investigation and taking ex parte
statements of people who were treju-
diced against the institution, had
made most unfavorable report as to
the university and its management,
these two distinguished citizens pro-
ceeded to make a most bitter attack
on the institution and DIR. Sledd, its
president. This attack from the rep
resentatives of Columbia county has
done more to create a sentiment
throughout the state thai the institu-
ton was not properly appreciated by
Columbia county and that it takes
something more than fine buildings
and fine grounds to make a univer-
sity. That something Lake City
seems to have lacked and Gainesville
seems to have possessed.
Alachua county has never sent a
representative to the legislature OF
Florida who has not been loyal to the
East Florida Seminary and its man.
agement, and we do not believe she
will ever send one who will not be
loyal to the new university of Florida
and who will not be a firm defender
of the institution and its manage
ment whenever they are unjustly at
tackled on the floor of the legislature
of our state.-Tampa Herald.

University Echoes.

Different expressions heard at the
capitol upon the night that the de-
cislons were made in regard to the
location of the college:
81 told you so!'' ''Just as expect
edr' Looked for nothing else!''
"Wise, fearless board!" ''They know
their businessH' "Boys, we sho' did
beat 'em!' 1--WE were too strong for
them!'
On the other hand: "I'm sorry!''
81 don't see how they did it!' "We
had the best proposition!" "Our
speakers were just as good!"
In the meantime Tallahassee was
giving you this: cit belongs here!''
"Of course we wanted the University
also!" eff they had not decided on
either Gainesville or Lake City, both
would have been ours!''
This much can certainly be said OF
every town oOntesting for these col
leges. None of them were slow.
They all got busy at the same time.

Although it is a physical impossi-
bility to please everyone, it is the
general sentiment over the state that
the two boards did only what they
thought was for the very best inter
est of the state of Florida in locating
the colleges. Now, that it has been
decided we should do all in our DOW
er to help carry this important
movement to a most successful end.

aow cosE InE TalsILEs.

The newspapers of Florida have i'm
mersed Governor Broward beneath a
beautiful and fragrant profusion of
flowers for the sound discretion, ex-
cellent wisdom and tolerant conser-
vatism he displayed in the appoint
ment of the board of control of the
school interests under the Buckman
bill; now come the thistles.
The first is from the Tavares Her
aid, and is as follows:
Perhaps the most remarkable ap-
pointment made by Governor Brow
ard is that of DR.. A. L. Brown, of
Eustis, as a member of the board of
control, under the new school law.
DIR. Brown has always been a re-
publican, but that fact il of little or
no consequence. What is indisput-
able is that it is doubtful if there is a
single man of any standing in Lake
county, or i'll Eustis, republican or
demodrat, who is not surprised and
indignant at the appointment.
If it was necessary to appoint a
republican, and let the honor go to
Eustis, such men as G. d. Clifford,
Colonel Hazard, E. L. Ferran and
Major Richards and number of
others could have been named, and
the appointment would have been
endorsed both by democrats aud re-
publicans of the county.
Personally Doctor Brown is one of
the most unpopular men of the cOun-
ty; he has neither been a practicing
physician nor a dentist, as reported
from Tallahassee. In fact, his bust
ness seems to have been that of lend
ing money, SO far as anybody in this
county knows. In Eustis he is in
uensely unpopular.
How such a man could have sue
ceeded in securing the appointment
it is difficult to imagine. Governor
Broward has certainly been misled in
this appointment.
If Doctor Brown has ever been in
terested in educational matters he
has kept the fact secret from the peO-
pie of Eustis and of Lake county
generally.
1t is certainly to be regretted that
before making this appointment
Governor Broward had not consulted
the people of Lake county. What
influences secured the appointment
it is difficult to imagine. Certainly
there is nothing in Doctor Browns
career in this county to have caused

The manner of celebrating the birth
of our great republic has changed
from reading the declaration of indie
pendence, Grating on the glories of
our country, saluting with the roar
of cannon the sisterhOOd of states, in
to horse races, foot races, sack races,
three-legged races, pie-eating races,
climbing the creased pole and chas-
ing the creased pig. But perhaps it
is all right. Washington and Jeffer-
son favored athletic sports, and the
modern methods of celebration shows
at least that the day is appreciated.
