SOME NEW HAIL
The Plan Works Successfully
Upon the Wrong Victim.
(Prize.)

= e . ~,
(Prize.)
MY FRIEND, Harry, was
- 4 not the kind Of a boy to
let any opportunity to play a
joke on me go by I found this
out very soon and resolved to
pay him back in someway or i
other. It. took me very long,
however, because I was not half
rs clever as he. I did not give up
trying in the least, but spent
more time planning and casting
away one after another than was
wise. I was destined to have
my opportunity, tho, whether
success followed or not. He had
fooled me the preceding day and
then sent for me to be with him
in the evening, evidently to find
out what effect it had had on me.
I appeared at his house at the
time appointed, but they in
formed me that he had just gone
out for a few minutes. I was
shown into his private room and
was left alone. I noticed a sack
of beans under a cozy-corner
chair, something to play pranks
with, I suppose. I took it and
hung it right above the door so
that when my friend would come
in, the opening Of the door would
upset it, strewing the beans on
the head of my unlucky friend.
AS I was waiting for my friend
to come, the clang, clang, clang
Of the fire department reached
my ear. I leaped up and in a
second was digging into my own
neck for-beans-lucky they
were not Boston baked. -

MIR. Strobhar's Novel Plea.

News comes from Montreal that Mr..
James n. Strobhar has waived extra
dition papers. that he will make no
further resistance to the United States
government officials and will at once
proceed to Atlanta for trial.
1t is noised on the streets that the
accused viii put in plea that the
money he misappropriated and con-
verted to his own use was rebate
money" that he had been an official
for the company for So long a time
and had too much consideration and
love for il to become a party to Il
company 70 do an unlawful act He
puts his conduct upon the same
grounds, as it, for instance, he were
standing by and saw a murder about
to be committed and did not pre-
vent ii if it were in his power to do
SO, he would be a party to the crime;
so in paying over rebate money when
it was unlawful for him to do so.
t'd1 HS Nouiu pSCOIue clearly an ac-
Cessory after the fact; that his love
for the old corporation complete
~ overpOwered him and he fed with
the goods on his person rather than
involve the road in a squabble with
the railroad commission and bring the
odium of public sentiment against it.
Mr.. Strobhar shows that nicely Of
distinction and love of consideration
that is sometimes pictured with vivid
colorings in heroic novels, but is rare

What Judlcious and Persistent Adver
Using Does.

A wester nbrewing company had
just placed an order for 25O,O0O,0)0
beer bottle labels, says the Philadel-
phia Record. Its product is not sold
principally in the city where it is
made, but in every city and large
town in the United States where beer
is consumer. and even in some foreign
countries. Despite the handicap Of
heavy transportation charges this
brewery completes successfully with
other breweries a thousand miles dis
tant in their own market, simply be-
cause it advertises extensively.
Through newspaper publicity its name
has been made familiar to millions of
people who never heard the names Of
other brands of beer brewed within
Il mile or so of their homes. No
brewer who doesn't advertise would
think of ordering labels by the quar-
ter billion.

Still Not Satisfied.

The supreme court has decided that
the Buchanan educational law is con-
stitutional and it is a law of the
state. The Lake City people took the
matter before this court with the hope
of having it judicialIy pronounced un-
constitutional, thereby holding on to

Frank Clark Solid.

By a time-honored precedent con-
gresham Frank Clark will have no
opposition before the primary this
summer for his nomination for a sec
ond term in congress. He could not
be defeated before the people if he
should have opposition. He is espec-
tally strong among the masses of the
people. and while his first term service
only recently begun, he is proving a
most valuable and efficient servant Of
the people in the halls Of congress-

Hot Under the Collar.

Tell US not in mournful numbers
says the Live Oak Daily Democrat,
that graft has the nation by the throat
and there is no prospect of release.
The moral sense of the American peo-
pie is aroused and the grafters are
being torn loose from their pray at a
rate which indicates that old-fashion-
ed honesty is about to come into its
own again. Look at what they have
done and are doing for those insur-
ance grafters in New York. See what
happened 10 old Senator Mitchell of
Oregon. Contemplate the shame and
disgrace that has overtaken Senator
Burton of Kansas. An devon old man
Rockefeller himself has been made
TO writhe under the sting of public
sentiment and to seek to propitiate il
by indirectly making restitution in the
shape of great charitable and philan-
thropic gifts. The indications are all
good that both in public and private
life the reaction is setting in and the
country is swinging back 70 the old
standard of honesty. morality and de-
cency."
The Buchanan Law was enacted too
late. The days of graft and legal OPP
preston are numbered.
Robbery by law will no longer be
tolerated.
The taxation of the masses for the
benefit of the classes viii not longer
be permitted.
Taxation without representation is
a thing of the past in Florida.
Ten thousand supreme courts may
declare the Buchanan Law constitu-
tional. but it doesn't alter the facts
in the case-and one of the facts is
that it is robbery and oppression Of
the poor for the benefit of the rich.
The ballot box is the supreme pow
er in this land. To it supreme courts
must bow, by it political jugglers are
squelched and tricksters occupying
high positions Of trust are relegated to
the shades of oblivion.
The best Laughter in the world is
the man who has the last turn at it.
The peoples turn will come in due
time-Jasper News.

FLORIDA FOR 1906.

without any resolution, but keeping
up with the march of improvements
already begun Florida viii do better In
the coming year of 1906 than ever be-
fore, and march along close to the
front in the way of advancement in
the year that is now at hand.
Many decisions have been removed
in the past year regarding our beau
tifuI state, and those who have come
here and seen for themselves are sat
isfied that the half has never been
told, or if it has. the story has been
garbled. as Florida is the place where
not only the afflicted may come to
regain their health. but where the
hustler for business may come TO ac-
quire wealth, says the Gainesville
Sun.
People who have come here from the
North expecting to find prices exorbi-
tant in the line of household necessi-
ties, have soon discovered that they
can live as cheaply as in the old set
tied sections of that portion of the
country. In the line of fuel there is a
big saving. and the man who owns his
own home here is as wei loft as those
in the North and is not frozen nearly
to death six months in the year.
And in regard to building a home,
the opportunities are equal here to any
section. You can build on the INSTALL
ment plan with interest as low as in
the most favored section Of the coun-
try.
Every city in Florida is growing.
new enterprises are springing up, and
we have enough products Of the soil
to feed twice as many people as we
now have. Florida for 1906 promises
well.-PaIatka Herald.

Negro VS.. Italion Labor.

Hon. Alfred Holt Stone, of Miss

the American Economic Association of

Sunny Side plantation in the state of
Arkansas, part of which has been
operated by negro labor and part by
Italion labor.

waiting 1900 acres of cotton and the
1905, according to Mr.. Stone, the Ital-
ians numbered 1O7 squads with 500
working hands. while the negroes
numbered only 3S squads with 175
working hands. and the acreage cul-
tivated by the Italians had increased
to 5000, while that cultivated by the
negroes had decreased to 900 acres.
Moreover the Italians were raising an
average of 403 pounds Of lint per acre
and Of 2584 pounds per hand. while
the negroes were averaging 233 pounds
per acre and 1l74 pounds per hand"
