CHAS. B. HANFORD.
Delights a Good Sized Audience With
Production of Julius Caesar.

There has been no presentation of
a Shakespearean play in Roanoke
that has surpassed that Of Julius
Caesar, as given by Mr.. Charles B.
Hanford and very capable company
at the Academy of Music last night.
In the production of such a play it
requires the very highest type Of his
trlonic artists, and stage settings that
are elaborate and in keeping with the
character of the play.
The production given by Mr.. Han
ford was fully up to every require
ment in every particular, and there
has never been brought South more
elaborate production except possibly
that which was given by Mr.. Mans
field and his stupendous company a
few years ago.
Mr.. Hanford was seen in the role
OF Anthony, and well did he sustain
the part. In the forum scene, when
he entered with the dead body of
Caesar, there was realism that is
rarely equalled Oh the mimic stage
and when the curtains fell on the
final scene, he was forced to respond
| to numerous encores.
MIR, Kline, as Brutus, and Mr.. Hen.
ming, as Cassius, shared honors with
/ Mr.. Hanford, and their parts were
taken as-they can be acted only by
artists of highest type. Both these
gentlemen have been with Hanfor(
for several years, and between tn
three there is sympathy that rend
ers their acting rarely entertaining.
The production of julius Caesar
is given by Mr.. Hanford and his com
pany last night, was a dramatic trea
of the highest order, and while tn
weather prevented many from attend
ing, it is gratifying to note that ther,
was a good-sized audience present
who appreciated the refined and ele
waiting performance to the very ut
most.-The Roanoke Times.

Ludicrous Legal Lore.

The early history Of the jurispru-
dence Of Michigan, if faithfully
chronicled, would furnish forth All
entertainment abounding with the
soul and point Of humor. Many Of
these little legends yet float around
the scenes which have given birth to
them and serve sometimes to give
best to a bar dinner or to enliven
a bar meeting. Among them is the
following:
Judge B., a plain and worthy man,
but no lawyer, was once county judge
Of Oakland under the old system. a
case came on for trial before him OH
one occasion in which the action was
founded in tort, and the plea Of the
defendant, which was special, was
such as to give him the affirmative of
the issue, upon the strength of which
he claimed the right to open and close
the case. This point was denied by
the counsel for the plaintiff, "who
never in the whole course of his prac-
tice had heard of such an enormity
as the defendants presuming to open
the case" Authorities were brought
and cited, however, and the judge,
after mature consideration, determin-
ed that such was the defendant 3
right. and so pronounced his decision.
After a short pause, during which
the plaintiff was grumbling his dis
satisfaction, the court told the de-
PENDANTS S lawyer to go on.
"Your HONOR" said he, rising, "l
am not quite ready to open the case.
When get ready will let the other
side know!" This opened, if not the
case, at least the eyes and mouth Of
the other side, who sprang to his feet
and beloved forth denunciation up
on the stupidity Of the judge, whose
absurd decision had placed him III
such dilemma. "You soc, your hon
or, what you have done. You have &C
tually placed the case in the hands
Of the defendant. He took possession
of our oxen, and when we brought an
action to recover them he took posses
sion of that also.' "I can't help it,
sir" said the learned judge, with
great stcrnness. "The decision Is
made, and it is too late to alter it.

the poorer county, but the people in
that county ride on the trains and
pay frieghts on their merchandise.
They have few factories, but they
furnish material to and use the manu-
factured products of the factories in
the adjoining county. There are few
commercial institutions in the poorer
county, but the people buy their goods
from the wholesale and retail stores
in the richer county. When it comes
to taxation for schools every dollar
levied in the strong county is kept
there, but the weaker county must
content itself with taxing it's own
property while contributing to the
richer county.
The people Of wealthy community
should not be willing to receive alto
gether and give nothing. Such a
community constitutes a misanthropic
and unproductive dead sea. I fear
we have some such communities in
our state. We are sure to be i'm
pressed with this fact if we study
the selfishness which is displayed in
our local legislation for schools. We
can never perfect our school system
in any important particulars until we
recognize and remedy the inequalities
which now exist. An annual appro-
priation of 100000 is badly needed
to cqualize the apportionments Of the
various counties. Such an appropria-
ton could be applied first to the
weaker counties, until the apportion-
ment on enrolment shall reach Ger
tain amount-say Sc per child. When
this is done we can begin to think
and plan for a compulsory education
law, as we'll as a great many other
laws which have been enacted in
states with state school systems and
not inconsistent local hotcl-potch leg
islation.

HINTS FOR FARMERS


For young pigs it is very necessary
that milk be part of the ration, says
American Agriculturist. In connection
with the milk ground barley, oats, corn
or wheat can be fed to excellent adj
vantage, starting with a small proper
ton at first and increasing d4is as the
animals grow larger.
During the early summer a good pas
ture is Of especial Importance when
raising hogs. Provide clover If possible
and blue grass, for both are excellent
hog feeds. A patch Of rye furnishes
excellent hog pasture. The hogs can be
kept on this until the rye heads out.
As soon as the grain is formed the ami
mails will learn to pull it down and will
consume the greater portion.
During the summer special care
should be taken to provide. shade for
the animals during the hot weather. A
cheap covering is all that is necessary.
If the animals can have access to a
brush lot so much the better, as the
brush not only furnishes shade, but OPP
portunity for rubbing, the latter being
necessary for hogs to keep themselves
clean.

THE POPULARITY OF
WILLIAM J. BRYAN.
Savannah News

Judging from the way the Democrats
of one state after another are declar-
ing for Mr.. Bryan there will be no con-
test for the nomination for president
in the next Democratic national con-
vention. Mr.. Bryan will be chosen
long before the convention meets.
Several days ago the Morning News
predicted that Mr.. Bryan would be
the Democratic nominee and Mr..
Roosevelt the Republican nominee for
president OF course, the declaration
of the president, when he was elected
nearly two years ago, that he wouldn't
ever accept another nomination for
the highest office in the gift of the
people, stands in the way OF his pc
ing a candidate again, but Lnat Cd
stacle will be overcome if the RepuD-
lican leaders decide that the welfare
of the party demands his nomination.
The Louisville Courier Journal, In
discussing the probability that the
candidates of the two great parties
will be Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Roosevelt,
suggests that the danger point Will be
found in the southern states. Per
sonal politics and other things have
caused so much dissatisfaction among
the people Of some Of the southern
states, according to the view OF that
paper, that in the event Mr.. Roose-
welt being a candidate in 1908 he would
stand a pretty good chance OF getting
e h. n1nnfnrH1
of those states.
The Courier-Journal, on this point
says: with Theodore Roosevelt as
the Republican candidate no one can
say that any Of the old Border states
are entirely safe for Democracy. Mis-
rouri half gone, Tennessee hanging in
the balance. Maryland wanting Cor
mans superb leadership, West Virgil
MIA and Delaware in the hands of the
enemy with thousands of Democrats
in Virginia and Kentucky ready to
hurrah for Roosevelt"
If the enthusiasm for Mr.. Bryan
continues to increase, as it promises
to do. there will not be much doubt
for whom the foregoing states will
cast their electoral votes. Besides, Mr..
Bryan is far more popular in what he
called the enemy's country when he
was a candidate In 1896 and 1900. 1t
is true Of course, that there is a radical
element in the Democratic party that
doesn't seem pleased with the pros
pect of having Mr.. Bryan as the Demo
cratic nominee. but it will not be
strong enough to do him much, if any,
harm. AS the situation now presents
itself, Mr.. Bryan will have the support
Of a tremendous, conservative element
in that section, and, it is within the
bounds of probability that he will
even get electoral votes there. The
Bryan movement is so strong that it
surprises the most level-headed politi-
clans of both political parties.

Recognition Of
Senator Taliaferro,

The appointment Of Senator James
z. Taliaferro, of Florida, as the sue
cessor OF the late Arthur Pue German
on the finance committee Of the
United States Senate may mean a
great deal TO this state, as the COM
mittee in question is the ranking one
of the Senate. The Jacksonville
Times-UniOn has the following TO say
relative to the appointment;
Senator Taliaferro has been assigned
70 the committee on finance to MI the
vacancy by the death Of Senator Cor
man. This is the ranking committee
of the Senate and place on It Is a
very high compliment indeed to a Sen
stor who is only beginning his >econd
term of service.
The appointment will increase Sen
stOr Taliaferro's opportunities Of use
fulness to florida. When proposed
tariff legislation reaches the Senate
1t goes into the hands Of this com
mittea The Times-UniOn faVOrs a
tariff for revenue only, without giving
TO anyone one dollar Of protection
that can be avoided. So long as the
system Of protection is maintained,
however. its favors should be equit-
ably distributed.
The Republican party, processing to
favor reciprocity will listen to no talk
So that line except with South or Cen
trail American nations or If it deals
with other nations it wiz give no con-
cessions except on agricultural
products. Republican reciprocity
would buy markets for northern manu-
facturers at the expense Of the agri-
ctluure OF the south and especially Of
Florida Concessions on sugar hut
Louisiana and injured Florida's pros
poets. Concession on tripicsl fruits
would greatly injure Florida. We
would like TO see all protection &C,
but we are not willing to give up tho
little that the south receives only to
buy more fsvors for the north.
On this committee Senator Talia-
1erro will be able to look after the in
terests Of Florida OF course the dem
OCrsJs oppose the whole nefaTious sys-
TEN, but Senator TaiafeTo will be in
q position to fight all attempts to
make 1t more nefariOus than IL is by
making Il even more sectional than 1t
IS.
A revenue tariff is properly levie
on tobacco because an internal
revenue tax is imposed on it, thus
making this commodity help support
the government whether produced az
home or abroad. A revenue tariff
should be levied on the grade Of cotton
produced in Egypt because il is a
grade not produced in this country. 1t
might benefit the growers Of long sta
pie cotton in this country by raising
the price Of Egyptian cotton, but IL 1t
cid this It would stin yield more rev.
enue than protection A tariff on
sugar and pineapples would be a rev
enue tariff because the amount Of pro
lection It would give would be insig-
nihcant in comparison with the rev.
enue Il would produce. Democrats
should fight against striking revenue
features from the tariff as earnestly
IS they should fight for striking out
protective features.

PENSACOLA. FLORIDA, FRIDAY MORNING. JUNE Is 1906

Everglades is as justifiable as many
other propositions that go up annually
to Congress.
If the lands are as fertile for farms
as reported it would repay the ex-
pense Of reclamation to the govern
ment within few years by the many
industries and port duties. There are
very few men Of mature judgement
opposed to draining the Everglades.
The fear OF a greatly increased taxa
ton is the ghost that frightens. Tie
source of obtaining money to pay for
the work is but one legitimately-taX-
alton. Lift this and there viii be no
one opposed to the work. If the recla-
nation is an experiment and proves
unsuccessful the government can
much better bear the loss than the
property owners Of Florida.
Should Congressman Clark succeed
in his efforts in this drainage matter
it would put his star in the ascendant
and remove an issue from the state
that is assuming gigantic proportions,
and threatening the solidity of the
democratic party. Mr.. Clark could not
do more popular thing than to trans
fer the reclamation proposition from
the state to the United States govern
nent. 1t would be a great relief TO
the present situation and bring peace
and harmony back to the people where
now prevails discord and division.
Representative Clark's measure is
timely. The government is spending
millions in the reclamation Of desert
lands in the west and there is no rea-
son why the Florida Everglades should
be overlooked. Florida is as much
entitled to a share of the money as
any other state and it is possible that
recognition of its needs and the great
benefit that would accrue to the entire
state by the drainage of the Ever.
, glades will be secured If Florida S
senators and representatives bestir
themselves. At any rate the effort is
worth making.

Dairy MANAGEMENT.

= The bureau of animal industry sent
out circulars to 600 dairymen, making
inquiries as to the management and
production Of their herds, says L. w.
Lightly in National StOckman. Two
hundred replied. Fifty Of these kept
no records, and a larger number OF
them did not know what it cost to feed
their COWS. This is really the greatest
drawback in dairy work. The farmer
keeps a lot Of COWS and does not know
what it costs to feed them nor what
they individually produce. Could we
imagine a man in another business
succeeding with such methods or a
lack of any? A few Of the funda-
mental business principles practically
applied to our dairy work is the great
est desideratum Of the day.
