EVA HOLDS ITS ANNUA,
MEETING,

The report of Manager G. F. Renton,
presented at the annual meeting of the
Eva Plantation Co. yesterday, was a
very satisfactory one. The sugar pro-
duction for 1905 was 1900 tons greater
than the estimate made, 30,751 tons
having been produced from the 34S2.46
acres under cultivation in that crop of
the Eva Plantation Co.'s land and 454
tons from the 1880 acres of the Apokaa
Sugar Co. The estimated tonnage for
1906, although from a greater acreage,
will not be as great. being placed at
5000 tons from 1905 acres. The de-
crease will be owing to the ravages of
the leaf hopper and the cold weather
OF the first three months of 1905. The
1907 crop has secured a good start and
should show good returns.
OF the permanent improvements put
in during the year in the fields the
most important were relaying of three
miles of track with 30-lb. rails and the
purchase of 22-ton engine and S3
cane cars to add to the rolling stock.
Three cane loading machines were also
purchased and are working satisfac-
torily
Large expenditures on improvements
and requirements in the mill were
made the largest item being the in
stallation of six new boilers of 200
horse power each. $l016 was also ex-
pended for sugar bran machinery. The
officers elected were: E. d. Tenney
president; C. NJ. Cook, vice president;
lC. H. Atherton, secretary; w. A
Bowen, treasurer; T. Richard Robin
son, auditor. and J. B. Castle, to serve
with the officers as director.

Alexander Says 1t Is a
Question for the
Financiers.

"The school and janitor question is
simply a matter of finances" said Pro-
fessor w. d. Alexander. when asked
to give his opinion on the question OF
having the teachers and pupils of the
schools do a share of the janitor work
II have nothing to suggest In the mat
ter. We must wait and see what the
Supervisors have to say respecting the
use of some of the county money to
help the schools out of the straits In
which they find themselves.
"If the Supervisors decide to come
to the assistance of the Board of Pub
lie Instruction 1t will be the first move
towards putting our schools under
county government
I'VE have hard condition to contend
with in the Hawaiian schools, differ
ing very much from those on the main
land. In no place in the world are
there to be found so many races re-
ceiving their education together as
here. and this fact presents many prob
lens to be solved. thing that we had
better go slow in our schools until
we know exactly where we are.
Il think that Professor Scott has
shown very plainly that 1t will be
found impossible to have janitor work,
in the High School at least, done by
any OF the pupils, and I imagine the
objections he finds will be found by
the principals of many of the other
schools.
LAS / have said, 1t is simply ques-
tion of finances, and the solution will
have to come from some of the finan-
ciers."

LIKED PAU RIDERS.
Mr.. II. p. Wood.

MI II. +. WOOu.
Dear Sir: A number OF friends ana
self witnessed the Floral Parade from
this hotel (Moana) and all expressed
themselves as very well pleased-it
really was very pretty sight and
worth coming long way to see. The
pau riders proved a very novel fea-
ture and distinctively Hawaiian. It's
a very good idea, think, to have II
every year. do think, though. that
the autos and carriages decorated
with real flowers and leaves. grasses
or things of that sort, should be in
class by themselves and take prece-
dence to those trimmed with artificial
or paper flowers. Those with the real
flowers have to be done at the last
minute, where the others can be done
days before, and have the advantage
of looking just as nice right through
the parade.

for reelection to this office. Quite a
number of aspirants were waiting
and hoping that Mr.. Pasteur would
decline a reelection but the sentiment
is unanimous that 'ff he wants the
office he shall have it," This is be-
cause he is so deserving and is so
popular We do not believe there is
a man in the county that will run
against him.
Mr.. Pasteur has made a most eX-
cellent official, is purity and kindness
combined, has not an enemy in the
world. and is strongly grounded in
the affections of the people of this
county and is absolutely sure of re-
election.

THE TAX OF GREATNESS.

MT. Joseph ADDISON, VINO wrote more
than two hundred years ago. in one
of his essays quotes another writer,
who wrote more than two hundred
years before he did, as follows: Cen
sure is the tax a man pays to the pub
lie for being eminent"
Mr.. Addison said it was folly for
an eminent man to think of escaping
criticism or censure. 1t is a fiery fur
mace through which every public man
must pass in every age and in every
country.
How true was Mr.. Addison's obser-
walton. No man of antiquity who
made place in history, escaped crit
icism or censure.
And the embers that heated this
furnace are still hot and no public
man can hope to escape passing
/ through it without being cinged the
same as his ancestors were.
How wildly we remember the phil
| ippics that were hurled against Abra-
ham Lincoln by the press and orators
of the south. For mendacity and
wickedness Horace Greeley stood next
f, to Lincoln. The wing press said
just as vicious and indicative things
against Breckenridge and Douglass,
| and the democratic newspapers were
| just as ferocious in their Nominations
! against Bell and Everett.
At a later period Grant and Gree
ly; Tilden and Hayes; Hancock and
Garfield; Cleveland and Blaine; Bry-
an and Mckinley, all in turn passed
through this firery furnace.
And how the generals of both armies
during the civil war were criticised
! and censured!
And yet when these great leaders,
| one after another, finished their race
| and were buried beneath the sod,
what libations of affection were poured
out upon their graves.
| Reading the stories of their lives
makes us feel that Shakespeare. that
| great student of nature, was wrong
when he said:
1.-The evil that men do lives after them
The good is oft inferred with their
| bones"
! These men, who occupied the the
atre Of action in this eventful period
of our nations history, and, who were
so bitterly censured at the time, are
/ now spoken Of with love and affection;
! but the men, who now occupy the
/ stage OF action, az passing through
] the same fiery furnace.
| Censure and criticism is tn, tax of
greatness.
There is but one way of escaping
! it, and thai is obscurity.
Make up your mind to be obscure,
say nothing of any vital issue that
concerns the public veal, go through
life without expressing an opinion,
say nothing and do nothing. and you
will escape both censure and criticism;
but if you say something and do things,
if you become an actor on the worlds
great stage, you must expect to pass
/ through the f1rery furnace of criticism
and censure. There is no escaping
, it. 1t was so in Addison's time, it
! was so in the time before his time; il
is SO now and will be so until the time
Of the millennium.
1t is the tax that man pays to the
| public for being eminent-for being a
little above the ordinary.

The Nordiea Concert in jacksonville

Madame Lillian Nordica, the worlds
greatest dramatic soprano, sang in
Jacksonville Tuesday night at the
skating rink and according to the
Jacksonville papers, she gave a won
derful concert.
Miss Alice Nelson, herself a great
soprano singer, was in the audience,
and in the Times Union of Wednes-
day gives her impression of the con-
cert. She said in part:
II heard Madame Nordica tonight
for the first time. AS l sat and lis
tened to that wonderful voice, chang
ing with absolute certainty from the
stirring. dramatic selections into
which she was throwing her whole
soul, to the loft, thread-like notes of
the lighter numbers, / could but mar
vel that so much could be accomplish
ed with the human voice And so, be-
cause she is an American and has
done all this. 1 am very, very proud
that J. too, am an American"

Solving the Rate Problem.

There was organized in this city
Wednesday a corporation that will go
long way towards solving the rate
question. which has hitherto been a
hindrance and a drawback to the
development of this city and section.
1t was no less than the formation of
company that will place line of
boats on the Ocklawaha river princi-
pally for the purpose of transporting
naval stores. but. incidentally, will
transport merchandise of every des-
cription.
The officers of the company are the
following well-known gentlemen:
president. C. " Miller: vice-president.
F. ]. O'Hara; general manager, James
H. Howard; directors, J. B. Martin,
]. N. Tiller, Robert Monroe; The
capital stock of the company is $780,
900.
The company has already purchased
the steamer. William Howard"
which has been plying the ocklawaha
river for some years and will imme-
diately give out contract for the
construction of a second steamer and
these boats viii make. regular trips
from Silver Springs to Jacksonville
and return.
If the hardroad to Silver Springs is
kept in good repair and freight auto
mobiles are run in conjunction with
the new line of boats the merchants
of Ocala will hold the key to the
freight situation.
We tip our hats to this new organi-
cation and bid them goodspeed in their
undertaking.

The Pensacola Journal says that the
DeSoto County Advertiser Is not only
an up-to-date newspaper, but one
that occasionally gets a little shead
of the date, as in the case of the ne
gro, Cooper, who the Advertiser has
reported hanged in three different is
sues. However, the Advertiser man is
a good explainer and wriggles out the
matter in the following manner.
The Advertisers aim is to get there
first with the mostest news. Our
publication day is Thursday and the
paper is printed Thursday morning
not a few days later. That explains
why we have hung Cooper three
times. If he don't like it he will have
to get his reprieves earlier in the week.
Some day we may hang him for keeps.
Then he'll be dead.
