fourth annual intcrScholaStic field and
track meet, to be held at Tome on Sat

Last years meet was remarkable, in that
five records were broken and the meet
was run off with Il precision and smooth
ness that left nothing to be desired,
either from the point of view of the
spectator or of the competing athletes.
Tome is fortunate in possessing such a
magnificent setting for an affair of this
kind. The track and oval are situated
upon an elevated plateau, carved out of
the bosom Of the hill which bounds it on
the north and gives the athletic field

EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS
RECORDED IN ITAL'

Rome, April 19.-The seismographs
in the ObservatOries throughout Italy
yesterday recorded distant earth
quake shocks. Those of the observa-
tory at Florence which has the most
perfect instruments. indicated that an
earthquake had been felt at dis
lance Of 1000 miles. The shocks
were so severe that they injured the
instruments.
The directory of the Florence OBJ.
servatory is of the opinion that the
earthquake in California viewed in
connection with the outbreak OF
Mount Vesuvius and the earthquake
in Calabria in September last indi-
Gates the approach Of further ter
Testial commissions.
King Victor Emmanuel was most
impressed with the news from Call-
fornia, following so soon after the
Calabria disaster and the eruption or
Mount VesUvius. He said that none
can smypathize more than Italians
with the sufferers in and about San
Francisco. adding that he felt most
anxious for the thousands Of italian
emigrants in California.
The news was communicated to
the pope by Cardinal Merry del Val
the papal secretary of state. The
pontiff gave orders that he be kept
informed of all the developments, es-
pecially in regard to the safety Of
Archbishop Riordan and of the clergy
Of San Francisco.

Friends of the
Yellow Fever.

Under the caption Friends Of Vel
low Fever the Memphis CONNER
cial-Appeal contains the following ar
ticle, inspired by the delay of con-
gress in passing the national quaran-
tine bill:
Reports from Washington indicate
that the national quarantine bill IS IN
some doubt. This bill has passed the
house by a majority Of about eight TO
one, and why there should be any
doubt Of its final adoption simply pass
es our comprehension. Even the
hyena has a mother which loves and
nourishes Il; and so we presume that
even the yellow fever seems 70 have
its friends and champions.
The people Of the south are hearth
" tired of the recurrence Of the panic
every time the fever appears any
where in the country. II jisturbs the
commerce, the domestic life and the
summer recreation of the people OF
this section, and they will almost
unanimously indorse any proposition
looking to the exclusion of the dis
ease from the country. National quar-
antine promises TO do this. With four
OF FIVE stations on the Gulf, the in
PRODUCTION of the fever can be effec-
lively guarded against
But just when this desideratum is
about TO be realized, the specter of
the doctrine of states rights arises,
ana the health of the south is jeopar-
died by a squabble Of the politicians.
Some shOrt-sighted southern politi-
clans are willing 10 sacrifice their sec
ton for a theory: and when they be-
gin TO prattle about states rights, the
INSCRIPTIONS Northern politicians
Just as reprehensibly fly to the other
extreme And so a much desired
thing is caught indeed between the
upper and the neither millstOnes.
And the friends Of yellow fever are
unduly persistent. They act as If
they were peslOusly guarding the right
Of Yellow Jack 10 come into this cOun-
try. Possibly their are some people
who are benefited by the appearance
Of the fever, on the principle that If
there were no disease there would be
no doctors. and If there were no such
thing as death, the undertakes would
be without a calling. Epidemics re-
Quire the establishment Of Quaran-
tines, and Of course these can not be
maintained without the employment
Of physicians, guards and others. But
Il is certainly far more to the interest
of the general public veal, that few
men should even be kept out Of en-
ployment than that the health Of the
entire people should be leOpardized.
The friends Of yellow fever should
therefore be ignored, and a measure
that viii protect the country should be
passed.
Whenever the yellow fever appears
in this country, the first thing we do
Is to appeal TO the national govern
ment for help. The people Of the
south have a right to demand protec-
ton from the government against the
dreaded disease. We do not recognize
the right OF yellow fever to invade
the south. Its friends are the enc
mics OF this section. and wherever
any Of them are found in public Office
and especially in congress-they
should be scourged at once into the
private life.
The national quarantine bin should
be passed as soon as possible. Every
days delay is an added danger. Con-
gress should act instanter.

once bears ample testimony.
Since Justice whitfield has been
on the bench the work Of the Su-
preme. Court of Florida has been
prosecuted with so much zeal and
dispatch that the court is NOW W.
WITH IT'S DOCKET. This, Of
course. is not due entirely to the
efforts of Justice Whitfield, but he
participates in this good work and
deserves part of the credit for 1t
His record has not been successfully
assailed, and the people should re-
turn him to the Office he now
holds.

TWO GOOD SERVANTS
REWARD THEM
Jacksonville Sun.

The approaching primary offers no
opportunity to the electors of this
SUate TO divide on questions Of party
policy or Of party issues.
1t is a DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY.
IL which none but white Democrats
can vote. Because Of the fact that
there Is no question of party princi-
pie involved the choice of the cleo
tors will necessarily have to be
made from a list which contains no
names but loyal Democrats.
PERSONAL FITNESS FOR
HOLDING THE VARIOUS OFFICES
IS THE ONLY QUESTION which
the electors OF the State are called
upon to answer correctly in the pri-
mary of May 18th.
We have stated our position in
practically these words before. but
in order that there may be no mis-
take as to our reasons for advOcat-
ing the election of the men whom we
may decide to advocate we again
state it.
AS the time for the primary an
proaches, interest in politics be-
comes greater. and as there are only
thirty days left between this date and
the date Of the first primary. and as
the questions to be solved at the ap-
preaching primary are of THE
GREATEST MPORTANNCE +o
Florida. we shall occupy a part of
the space on this page, which be-
longs to the people, to discuss the
qualifications Of those Democrats
who are offering themselves as the
peoples servants.
We think that Justice Charles B.
Parkhill and Justice James B. Whit
field. who are candidates to succeed
themselves on the Supreme bench.
should be again selected by the Dem
ccTatic voters in the coming primary.
These men have performed the ex-
acting duties and have acquitted
themselves of the high obligations
Of their Office honestly, faithfully
and well No word of competent
criticism has bsen uttered against
these men. Fidelity in the discharge
of duty is rewarded in every walk of
life. The merchant rewards his
faithful employee. and the lawyer adj
vances his diligent clerk. The great
corporations bestOw positions of
honor and trust on those who have
served them well, and there is no
reason why Florida should not keep
alive the incentive to work hard and
faithfully in the minds Of her public
servants.
Justice Parkhill has been engaged
ia the practice Of law for twenty
years. He has served as County So
hcitor for Escambia county. He was
appointed judge Of the First Circuit
of Florida, and was elected for the
six-year term 10 that Office about
nine months ago. Shortly after his
election he was offered the appoint
ment 70 a vacancy on the Supreme
bench. This opportunity of advance
himself and to satisfy his ambition
to go higher In the service Of the
State appealed to him so strongly
that he accepted The appointment, al
though he knew that the enure of the
new ONCE could not exceed eighteen
months, which was NEARLY FIVE
YEARS LESS than the Office tol
which he was elected.
The custom of the democratic par
~ TO give two terms to faithful
oficeholders, the fitness Of Justicel
Psrkhill for the position he now
holds. both indicate THAT HEi
SHOULD BE GIVEN ANOTHER
TERM We trust that the electors
OF Florida will return Justice Park
