Almost all the members of the Taft

that the Filipinos are unfit for indie

out of the weak places in them, we turn
to the unfolding of some of the good

Our list is long and fairly full already,
but we are on the hunt for more all the

We will mention just three, and let
them soak into your ub-consciousness
for a while.
First, we will commence next week the
publication as serial of Monsieur Bau
caire," that delightful little story by
Booth Harrington which placed the name
of its author among the literary i'm
mOrtals.
Perhaps you have read this story, and
have also seen Richard Mansfield inter
pref it on the stage. If you have both
read and seen "Baucaire" you will all
the more enjoy reperusal. If you have
neither read nor seen, you are like the
little boy who whistled for his dog

DO not miss this story. The first in

December 2
Right at this time the most important
public work ever undertaken in Lnis
country of great achievements, is going
on. We mean the railroad to Key West.
We will have series of articles with
illustrations, on this epoch-making en-
terprise, prepared by member of our
staff who will personally inspect the
work. These articles will begin early in
the new year.

Governor Broward will contribute to

much has already been done. The series
will be illustrated from drawings of
dredges, maps, etc, now in the Govern

This will be the first authentic infor-

IN THE SUMS CHARIOT
Intimate Talks Between Publisher and Reader

Last August there was total eclipse
of the sun, that little known and wonder
full orb that keeps the earth alive AS
trOnOmers from all countries gathered
all along the path of totality, and at
the astronomical moment applied their
eyes to the small ends of the telescopes
levelled at the great natural phenOme-
non.
They were looking for sun spots new,
and studying sun spots old.
This is what you, who read this page,
are invited to do. LOOK FOR THE SUN
SPOTS, and when you find them, you
are respectfully urged to tell us about
them.
For, if spots are present on the face
of the great solar sun, it is not be ex-
pected that this little paper and ink
SUN of ours will be free from them.
So, polish up your lenses, sharpen up
your pencils and wade right in. We know
that we are open to criticism and we do
not care how much, or how often, or how
hard you hit us, provided you do it fair
ly, honestly and sincerely, with view
to make a better SUN.
Now, for few questions:
DO you like the form of the paper?
DO you think the Agricultural depart
ment a good feature?
Do you like the WOmens department?
Would you like to see short story
complete in each issueH
We are thinking of having an illus
trated story about some Florida town
in each number, like the one about Live
Oak in this one. How does this strike
you?
DO you advise the addition of Chill
dren's department?
What do you think of our news sum-
mary? Is it too short or too long? Does
it cover enough ground?
DO you think we have given too much
space to editorialsY Are the editorials
too short, or would you prefer them
even shorter, more of the tabloid form,
like bad medicine, as a rule, presented
Tell us about all of these things. We
will be thankful for suggestions. We con-
TESS, quite frankly, our woeful lack of
experience, and cry-help! help!
Bear in mind that this journal is
printed for you, and will be printed just
as you want it, if you will only tell us
WHAT you want. If it does not suit
you, you are to blame.
It's up to you.
Here's some spots we have discovered
ourselves:
The white paper we have used is not
heavy enough. We will use heavier paper
as soon as this we have on hand is
out. The journal will then be much
easier to handle.
Our heading in the first issue was too
large. We have reduced the size in this
issue.
We have already said something apol
ogetical about delivering the paper to
you uncut and unpasted. If this number

AFTER MINISTER PEARSON.

Hon. Richmond Pearson is in
danger of losing his peacock's feather
and his salary. He is minister to
Persia and reports have been that he
stood high in diplomatic circles Now
the news comes from Washington
that missionaries in that country
have preferred charges against him
and that he is to be succeeded by As
sistant Secretary Pierce. One report
from Washington says that 1.-The best
opinion here is that the adminiStra-
ton is not very much impressed with
the charges against the present
American minister TO Persia" and
another report is that 1.-The State De-
partment is not much impressed with
accusations against diplomatic Off
GERS coming from missionaries, for it
is a well established fact that these
people are always endeavoring to
make trouble for the ministers of
their country"
This last sentence is one that Will
not set well with the American peo-
pie. They send out missionaries, pay
their salaries, and they are careful tC
select cOnSecrated and capable men
and women who are the best type of
our Christian civilization. They have
a right to expect to receive protection
and courteous treatment from the
American Ministers, and unless they
do receive it the people at home will
not excuse the diplomatic representa-
tive of their country. More than
once American diplomats and officers
of the navy have expressed disap
prOyal of sending missionaries abroad
and treated them with scant courtesy.
In one instance years ago an Ameri-
can minister sneered and made light
of the work of self-sacrfice of Amer
lean missionaries. 1t is No doubt
more agreeable to diplomats who wish
be merry not to be troubled with the
condition of the men and women who
leave their homes to carry light to
those who sit in darkness. Whatever
a pleasure-loving diplomat may think,
the serious minded people al home
are behind the noble band of mis-
sionaries and will tolerate no neglect
of them or lack of interest in seeing
that they are given every protection.
Minister Pearson is not The sort of
man who would fail in his duty t.

has been in any way guilty of neglect,
he will doubtless make a showing that

that would call for his retirement. He

linian and we hope to see him fully

CUTICURk SOAP
The Worlds Greatest
Skin Soap.
The Worlds Sweetest
Toilet Soap.
Sale Greater than the Worlds
Product of Other Skin Soaps
Sold Wherever Civilization Has
Penetrated.

Millions of the worlds best people
use Cuticura Soap, assisted by Cuti-
cura Ointment, the great skin cure,
for preserving, purifying, and beau
tifying the skin, for cleansing the
scalp of crusts, scales, and dandruf,
and the stopping of falling hair, for
softening, whitening, and soothing
red, rough, and sore hands, for baby
rashes, itchings, and chaings, for
annoying irritations, or too free or
offensive perspiration, for u1cerative
weaknesses, and many sanative, anti
septic purposes which readily suggest
themselves to women, especially
mothers, as well as for all the pur-
poses of the toilet, bath, and nursery.
Cuticura Soap combines delicate
e1nollient properties derived from
Cuticura, the great skin cure, with
the purest' of cleansing ingredients
and the most refreshing of flower
odours. No other nedicated soap
ever compounded is to be compared
with it for preserving, purifying, and
identifying the skin, scalp, hair, and
hands. No other foreign or domestic
toilet soap, however expensive, is to
be compared with it for all the pur-
poses of the toilet, bath, and nursery.
Thus it combines in one soap at one
price the most effective skin and COM
plexion soap, and the purest and sweet
est toilet, bath, and nursery soap.

WishOut wishing to appear pre-

There is an impression abroad that
the full seriousness of Winston-Sa-
LENS plight is not yet understood,
and if This Is correct, something
should be done with more despatch
than appears to be going on at the
present.
One phase of the situation is to
be seen in the incident the other
day when twenty-five negro labor
erers left the yards striking for
higher wages. The men contended
for Il ten-hour day with ten cents an
hour for overtime. They alleged that
they had been putting in twelve
hours. The demand was finally acce-
ded TO, but meanwhile, there had been
a tie-up of freight for almost the
entire day.
The important fact is at last, how
ever, that the old condition of things
is but little improved.

be eight cents in Winston -Sal lem.
The Danbury Reporter predicts seven
cents. As to the Winston market the

they insure the highest price in the
State which is another way of saying
that if the trust had no competition

that Notwithstanding these large

of leaf so that farmers can't make 4
per cent growing leaf tobacco. Oh,

this covers a multitude of sins. not
