No sadder story has ever come out
of a convict camp in Florida than
that which tells US Of the recent
suicide of Henry Parish. a young
white convict serving a three months
sentence for petit larceny. He was
working in the woods and overcome
with the sense of his disgrace, beg
ged the guard to kill him, and this
being refused, he endeavored to es-
cape with the evident hope of get
ting shot in the effort. IN this he
failed also, and when he returned
to the stOckade with the other con-
viets he adopted the unique plan Of
hitting his head on a log with such
| force that conclusion of the brain
resulted and he died from the effects.
The Lakeland News thinks that this
may be fish story" sent out to &C
count for the sudden death and sug-
gests that the case be investigated
The suggestion is not bad, but If the
story is true, the poor young fell
low would have been a much better
subject for the elemency of the
Board of Pardons than some others
We have heard Of He may have
been guilty, but he had the kind of
conscience and sensitive soul not Of
ten found under convict Stripes
the kind that might easily have re-
deemed him and made him a good
citizen had he lived to serve out his
term. The hardened reprobates be
yOnd reclamation never break Jail
by committing suicide, as Victor
Hugo puts it.

undoubtedlY he land is full Of

Undoubtedly the land is fall Of
nervous disorders and crime and mis-
haps and sensations of all kinds not
conducive to peace of mind and the
calm content of the placid life, and
many hold the papers responsible
for this state of affairs because they
are faithful registers of the worlds
news from day to day. But these
good people are mistaken. The news
paper is the saVeing clause in the
nightmare Of modern life, and with
out it the thin partition that divides
US from wholesale insanity would
be broken down. Sir James Crich-
ton Brown, a great English authority
on mental and nervous diseases, has
this to say on the subject:
Il say deliberately that the news
paper, with all its faults, is one Of
the bulwarks of sanity at the present
epoch. 1t is the antidote to cor
roding egotism and gives a world
wide horizon to the pur-blind and
short-sighted. 1t is real and earn
est in its tragedy and comedy, while
novel is only a make-believe. It
supplies snaeks of biography in the
form of gossip. 1t manufactures he
rOes by the dozen and it furnishes an
easily digestible intellectual pabulum.
Many a man has been saved from
melancholy and faulty by his daily
paper. Suppress your newspapers
and you will have to enlarge your
lunatic asylums"

A Pleasant Occasion.

On Wednesday afternoon the La
dies Mission and Aid Society Of the
Second Advent Church was pleasant
ly entertained at the residence of
Mrs. S. P. Powell. Quite a large
crowd was present and after spending
about an hour in social conversation,
discussing the work in which they
are engaged, the President, Mrs.
Virgins, called on the Pastor, Ed.
H. V. Skipper to Oficiate the de-
votionaI service, to hwich he cheer
fully responded. After this Mrs.
Powell, the big hearted hostess, as
sisted by Miss Beatrice, her charm
ing little daughter, and Miss Lizzie
Burns, served the happy guests with
light refreshments in several courses
which were highly enjoyed by all
present.

Hon. Leslie NJ. Shaw, Mr.. Roose-
velt's Secretary Of the Treasury, who
recently swept like a Republican me-
teOr through the Democratic dark
ness of North Carolina, went from
there up to Missouri where, being
questioned as to the prospect of In
ducing MIR. Roosevelt to be the Re
publican nominee for President next
time, delivered himself as follows,
which should be accepted by the
reader with the understanding that
Mr.. Shaw is himself a candidate for
that job:
1T will be in vain," was Mr..
Shaw's emphatic response" Know
ing the President as intimately as
do, l know that he would not be-
come a candidate under any circum-
stances. He has said, time and again,
that he would not accept the nom-
ination, and he is a man who re-
spects his word to the members of
his cabinet. He has said in sub
stance, Boys, I'm out of it, the field
is open, go in and win If you can"

Up at Albany, Ca, the labor
problem recently reached such an
acute stage that something besides
talking about it had to be done. The
negroes of both sexes had found 9TH
er ways than working to make a
living. and not only in the fields and
mills, but in the homes and kitchens
the darkies were conspicuous by
their absence. And then the people
Of Albany got together and mapped
out plan of campaign which is told
in the following dispatch:
Arrangements have been made
for bringing to Albany this fall a
number Of German families, and the
result of the experiment will be
watched with interest. Places have
already been provided for the new
corners, all of whom will be fresh
immigrants. The women will accept
dOmesties, places and places for the
men will be found on truck farms or
in local industrial plants. 1t is be-
lieved that the first batch of i'm
migrants will be quickly followed by
others"

What debt of gratitude these

blaze as great electric centers throw

sending their spoken words through

as rush lights by comparison whose

hearing OF the orators voice. And
how much more careful and thought

The tourist season is approaching
and Live Oak is still without that
fine new modern hotel with which We
hoped to tempt the wealthy winter
visitors to Florida to include our city
in their itinerary. We've got the eli
mate and the society and incidental
inducements all right, but'such peo-
pie will not abide with US, nor even
make trial trip, unless We can give
them the luxurious accommodations
only found in the thoroughly up
to-date hotel. And the indications
are that it is going to be a great
tourist season. The Miami Metrop-
oils, right at tourist headquarters,
keep posted on this question and has
the following to say on the subject:
AS evidence of the magnitude of
the next tourist season in Florida
the statement is reliably made that
one of Miami's leading hOStelries,
which opens November 10, has more
than three hundred guests already
booked for that date. Other hotels
are proportionately filed with book
ings and all of the boarding houses
are flooded with letters seeking ear
ly accommodations. The number OF
such letters are said to be fully so
per cent. greater than ever before. &"

This seems to have been the boss
snake season in Florida if We may
judge by the numerous snake stories
getting into the papers. That such
a large number of the reptiles are
crawling around, apparently out of
a job, may possibly be due to the
fact that so many Florida counties
have gone dry" this year.

There are several old buildings in
Live Oak that should be condemned
by the street committee and torn
down They are eye-sores that
should not be allowed TO stand any
longer Two of these buildings are
those on Howard street just west of
the Chinese laundry, and another is
the old half burned plumbing shop
between the Magnolia and the Brown
House. These buildings are all in
the fire limits, hence cannot be re-
paired and are worthless to the own
ers and they can be of no possible
use for anything but kindling wood ,
and standing they are a menace to
adjoining property, because they NAV
catch on fire any time. 1t would
greatly improve those sections of
Live Oak to remove them and our
city officials should take the matter
in hand at once.
