The weekly true Democrat. (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1905-1912, 1905-12-29

E. B., in the Times Union, pays the
following beautiful tribute to a good
man. While we were not personally
acquainted with McEachern, we repro
duce it, that 1t may be an inspiration to
many Of our young men:
Hugh McEachern has passed away
and his place will be hard to ill. He
struggled long and hard with the grim
scytheman, but the end came peace
fully. He died with a sweet smile that
was chiselled on his countenance by the
hand of death. For it was not that he
feared to die, but that he might live to
do good, that he might serve his God,
his country and his friends was the hope
that bouyed him up through the last
great struggle. Few men have 80
quickly made their impress on a great
State in so short time as H. A. Nc
Eachern. Few men will ever be more
sorely missed by a great industry. His
was a unique character. He filled a
niche peculiarly his own.
With keen insight into the hearts of
men he saw and derived their purposes
He possessed many of the attributes
that have been ascribed to Abraham
Lincoln-he knew and felt for the COM
mon people OF poor but proud parent
age, he was of Scotch descent; he was
born in North Carolina, but lived most
of his life in Georgia AS a boy he was
fired with lofty ambition to become a
financier, but success did not spoil him.
His aim was ever to be right and TO do
good. With him character was above
riches, "a good name worth more than
fine gold"
He exemplified the highest type of
American citizenship in living as we'll
as protesting a Christian manhood. 1t
was in Florida he rounded out to best
advantage the superior quality Of his
intellect, and character. 1t was here
he achieved his most signal success, and
so at his request they have buried him
in Florida soil, where the last trump
may find him faithful to the people Re
loved and who loved him. But while
the great heart is stilled, the strong
arm is stricken down, the active brain
has ceased its labor, and the places that
knew him shall know him no more, may
we not feel assured that his life and ex-
ample will strive on and on, guiding and
inspiring to a purpose of high resolve?
Our hearts go out to the loved ones on
this sad Christmas, but as they think of
the old year with its trials of grief or
sorrow, let Us say that from this life
and example we do gather hope and
courage. We catch inspiration to hOlier
and better things. For as time rolls on
the influence of such life is never lost,
but brightens on even unto the perfect
day.

Railroad Valuations In VoIusIa.

Casual thought would not begin to
figure up the correct valuation Of the
railroad possessions or railroad property
in Volusia county. These valuations
reach figures that are enormous, and
are hard to conceive unless one becomes
familiar with them.
The railroads operating in Volusia
county, which are the Florida East
Coast and Atlantic Coast Lines, as
shown by the books Of Tax Assessor
8. B. Wilson, Own an aggregate valu-
alton, including main and side tracks,
rolling stock, equipments, depOts, ETC., ,
of 1898, 1876. Upon this valuation the
railroads pay net tax Of Sl5, l04. 90 per
annum, which In divided as follows:
County, $40, l66. ~; State, So, $50. 70;
sub-schoOl county,, 81, 1866,
The total tax paid by the Florida East
Coast Railway TO the county and State
amounts to So, 732 81, and the Atlantic
Coast Line, s., 439 II. This does not
include lands other than the right-of-
way owned by the railroad companies I;
neither does 4 include the taxes paid to
incorporated towns and cities.
The railroads are paying their share
Of taxes in VOlusia county, as shown
by the above statement, and no person
has any just cause 70 object TO their
existence and their volume of business.

GRAFTON, for il Is supported by no testi-
mony and we have no reason to believe
that there is trace Of truth in it, The
Board of Pardons has been criticised
because honest newspaper men, con-
cerned for the cause of law and order
in Florida and the punishment of crime.
believed that board was not pursuing
the right policy in so often obstructing
the course Of justice by extending Glenn
ency to convicted criminals. That is all
there is to il. Live Oak Democrat.
Let's all keep cool! We see no reason
why any newspaper not guilty as
charged should get excited over Gov
ernor BrowaTd' 8 claim that the State is
afflicted with few editors who sell ed
itorial space at 80 much at inch. The
Governor doubtless had excellent
grounds for the statement--perhaps
even, it was based on his own personal
knowledge. We know some so.called
editors who would readily advocate the
cause of the devil for any position or
measures he might desire, provided the
old gentleman was the highest bidder. 49,

Those Inch" editors! Governor
Broward has been criticised because of
his utterance in the Jacksonville Sun
that I'VE are afflicted with q sprinkling
of editors who sell editorial at 80 much
an inch, with sentiment thrown in. :"
We have no doubt in the world of the
correctness of the Governors state
ment. In the first place he has recently
had large experience as a candidate.
AS such he came in contact with many
newspaper men; he ought to know
whereof he affirms and we have no idea
that he deliberately lied about il. Again,
into every honorable vocation, profess
sion and society on earth, unworthy
men seek and gain admission and we
have no idea that the profession of
journalism forms an exception to the
rule. Why it is only the other day that
the newspapers reported that a popular
preacher in Georgia had run away with
his neighbours wife. The ministry, the
churches, the masonic lodges, and in
fact all noble institutions and profess
sions have their proportion of unworthy
members and doubtless many a worth
less man has his name at the head of a
column as editor" We
should feel sorry were il otherwise, be-
cause every article of genuine merit on
earth is counterfeited. We have coun.
terfeit gold, silver, pearl, diamonds and
rubies. The discovery Of a counterfeit
proves the existence of the genuine.
Hence the discovery Of worthless, coun-
terfeit editors only proves that there
are many who are sterling gold. Jasper

A contemporary newspaper expresses
its surprise at the spectacle Of both
Jews and Gentiles giving to the relief
fund Of the suffering and oppressed
Jews in Russia. There Is nothing
strange about it. Real brotherly love
is broader than mere sectarianism. The
fraternal societies have been teaching
this principle too long and too earnestly
not to have IL bear fruit at such time
as this. Brotherly love knows neither
race nor creed, and there yet seems to
be a whole lot of the real thing in this
world. The person Who does not sym
pathize with those oppressed Russian
Jews must have a heart of adamant
Russia IL not sowing the wind for some
other people to reap the whirlwind.
Cyclones, big and black, are brewing
for that benighted land. Every true
American who appreciates the charac-
ter Of Judas Maccabeus, the Jew, will
grieve at the suffering Of his people
and possibly aid them with a few things
Of comfort.

its luscious fruit recommended 1t to the
especial care of the patrlarchal tillers
Of the soil, and vineyards were extern
sively planted long before orchards or
collections Of other fruit trees were at
all common.
The grape came originally from Per-
ola. From the latter country as civlli-
Eation advanced westward this fruit
accompanied it-first to Egypt, then to
Greece. Sicily, Italy, Spain, France and
then TO Great Britain, to which latter
country the Romans carried 1t 200
years after Christ.
To America the seeds and plants of
the European varieties were brought
by emigrants and colonists the first
nifty years after its settlement.
There are vast number of varieties
OF grapes. but there are really only
about a dozen varieties good for the
table. California produces the Tokay,
Muscat, Black Prince, Malaga, etc.
while the eastern states produce such
varieties as the Concord, Catawba. Nj
