We have italicized, in quoting from
the Boards official record, the words
stating one Of the purposes Of the
Board in making the sale to be for
"discharging the debts and obligations
Of the fund" We most positively af-
firm, from the official records of the
Board itself, that at the time this sale
was made and this statement recorded
the Board had no debtS or obligations TO
be discharged! On the contrary, on the
first day Of January, 1902, the year the
sale was made, the Board had cash
balance of nearly $4,000 to its credit
For the years 1901 and 1902 it disbursed
nearly SIG, 900 in running expenses, sal
aries, etc. IL had no drainage or re-
clamation operations pending or in
progress And it's absolutely unneces-
sary sales Of lands for the two years
named aggregated the sum Of nearly

A WELL-PIERITED REBUKE.

The Pensacola Journal of a recent
date administered to its local contempt
rary, the News, (owned by the Capital
Printing [Publishing1 Co, )" or by l. B.
Hilson, or by the Capital City Bank,
the following well-merited rebuke:
What particular object the Pensacola
News expects to accomplish by its per-
sistent knocking" of the health Off
Gals and the physicians who are fight
ing the yellow fever in this city has not
yet been made apparent. Yesterday,
in referring to a new case of fever, 1t
announces that the patient has
"been in bed for six days. Just why the
announcement of the real cause of his
illness was not made known before is
not made public except through the
bulletin which made out that the dag
nosis had been held and he was placed
on the class named.
But
The doctors say it is yellow fever,
and it must be so. "
If the News really desired informa-
ton in the premises, it could have
learned from the health authorities that,
as soon as the case referred to was dis
covered, the patient was Immediately
SCTGGIlSu anu every pOSSlDlC
taken pending the development of the
disease.
While taking all the precautions that
would have been necessary had they
known absolutely that the patient had
yellow fever, the physicians still did not
desire to announce the disease as such
until they were reasonably sure that
they were correct. Whan they did ar
rive at this conclusion they announced
the case Immediately.
In all this the health officials and
physicians have the approval of the
community at large, and why any news
paper having the interests of the city
at heart will attempt to stir up trouble
and dissension at a time like this is
more than anyone else can understand
Neither the health officials, the public
nor the Journal has taken any notice of
the recent antics of the News in this
connection, because people who are on
the ground know how to estimate them,
and have, moreover, had much more
important duties to attend to.
1t is time now, however, that this
child's play, or perverseness, or ASST
ninity, or whatever it is, was stopped.
1t has no effect at home, where the
News is thoroughly understood, but it
may tend to misunderstanding of the
situation abroad, and Pensacola wants
no such misunderstanding at this time.

action: This Il viIl continue to do, a.
It deems the public good may demand
regardless Of individual consequence
If it has, in the performance Of its task
the appreciation and assistance Of its
contemporaries of the State press. it
will gladly accept the same and w rS
with them cheerfulIy and vaIiantly to
unearth wrong-dOing and repair the
reputation of the party, damaged 80 Sc
riously by the Jennings administrator:
II it is constrained to labor onward in
this duty alone, it will not shrink from
the task.

FOLLOWING our MOTTO.


The Pensacola News quotes para
graph from The True Democrat, then
long article from the Atlanta Constitu-
ton, and closes thus:
The people believe they have an hon
est set of officials administering the af-
fairs of the State government, and I'M
til The True Democrat can show con-
elusive proof to the contrary faith in
them will not be shaken. On the other
hand, the Tallahassee sheet, which is
STOPPING to such methods, will be
treated with the scorn it so richly mer-
its.
We desire to inform the News that
The True Democrat has never, in any
manner, accused the present State adj
ministration of wrong-doing of any
kind, and does not believe it will ever
have occasion to do so. 1t has, in the
plainest sort of language, charged the
Jennings administration with many
kinds of crOOkedness, and will continue
to do so, as occasion may arise, not
withstanding the squirming of those ad-
herents and friends of the guilty parties
who may endeavor to punish it with
"scorn" or otherwise, for its devotion
to good government, honesty in public
Office, equal justice to all and special
privileges to none. ="
In another column we give some facts
concerning a certain sale of State lands.
Below we give an item clipped from a
recent issue of the Metropolis. We do
not propose to point out any connection
between them, but the coincidence is,
to say the least, interesting:
Hon. Arthur T. Williams, of Jackson
vile and Fernandina, in company with
William r. Coulter, who has charge of
the Williams lands in Levy county, went
to Cedar Key last week. He was
looking for a site for the erection of a
cedar mill. He owns thousands of acres
Of cedar land, as we'll a. pine and hard
wood timber, in Levy, Lafayette and
Taylor counties, and those who recall
the vast amount Of business done at Ce-
dar Key during the days Of the cedar
mills there win rejoice at the prospect
Of a revival Of this industry. Mr.. vii.
liams is one Of the best business men in
the State, which insures the success Of
the enterprise.
