sPRclAL LEGISLATIVE SESSION.
A BOsinsss Organization Of Jackson
VILE ASK for Il.

The following letter has been sent to
Governor Broward, by Secretary Bonney
Of the Half Million Club, which is
booming Jacksonville all over the
country:
September, II, 1905.
Hon. N. B. Broward, Governor Of Flor
ida, Tallahassee.
Dear Sir-Inclosed, have the honor
of sending you a printed statement of
the relative rank of southern cities and
states.
am informed that the counties Of
Florida having a population of over 49,
600 (Hillsborough and DuvaD have the
same local organizations as the counties
having less than 5000; also that there
is no general law under which road
bonds, improvement bonds, etc., may
be voted by the counties which desire
extensive improvements.
It is generally recognized that COM
mercial seaport counties demand diff
ferent organization from the interior
agricultural countias, and many states
have so arranged classes under which
the voters could organize. Would it be
practicable to call a special session OF the
legislature to pass a classification law
under which the voters could organize
at the next November election. Such
law should of course define the powers
of each class, and to apply only by
adoption of the voters.
Very truly yours,
CHAs. L. BoNNEY.

Statements as to Date Goods Were
Pat Up and che Quality on Cans.

The effects 81 the new Federal law
regulating labels or. canned goods are
already being felt by purchasers in the
rise in the price Of lard
The first indication of higher mar
ket, and other commodities will fall in
line, according to all accounts.
1t is understood by the rise in lard
that all commodities in cans which will
have to be relabeled after October l
will be higher, for time at least. The
only reason attributed for the rise rests
in the conclusion that the big packing
houses do not propose to bear expense
Of paying for new labels.
But with the rise in compounds put
up in cans by the big packing concerns,
the people have the assurance that they
know more about what they are pur-
chasing. If any particular brand of
lard contains any particular compound,
it will have to be stated on the label.
The new label law is not confined to
lard, but to all kinds of packing house
goods put up in cans, buckets, etc. 1t
goes into effect October /, and 1t is said
that the prices have been increased for
the purpose of raising sufficient revenue
to bear the expense.

Hon. w. N. Sheats has been elected
principal of the Leon County High
School, Tallahassee.
Tallahassee and Palm Beach will put
up new high school buildings costing
from $50, 900 to $40, 900 this year. They
will be modern and up-to-date in all
their appointments.
John w. Wideman, for many years one
of the most active of Florida educators,
has, in the language of the unregener-
ate "few de COOP" and gone into the
life insurance business where his ener-
gies will have full scope and his special
talent full opportunity. His One-time
brethren wish him success.
We have heard it said, time and
again, of Hon. W. N. Sheats while he
was State Superintendent, that he
could not secure a certificate under his
own examination law" Last fall with
out days preparation he took the
county examination in Gadsden county
for first grade certificate, making one
hundred per cent. in many Of the sub
jects and close around that in the rest.
This summer he took the examination
for a State certificate making several
hundreds, and securing a certificate
with an unusually high average. In
solid scholarship Mr.. Sheats stands at
least the equal of any State certificate
holder in Florida.

Times City EDITOR Pays Him Trib-
uts-was one Of Our States Host

ute-WAs one Of Our States Host
Valuable and EstImAbls Citizens.
Death is not only a relentless reaper,
but fiendish jester.
His eternal silence-dealing hand passes
unexpectedly over the sick and infrm,
to whom the passing would bring relief,
and falls upon one apparently in the
prime of life-passes over the frown
and groan of the afflicted and robs NOR
tails of tender word and a pleasant
smile.
On Wednesday last conversed pleas
antly for more than an hour with Frank
E. Bond, of DeLand, one of the best
known and most successful business
men in Florida. Mr.. Bond was always
bright and genial with every one, but
on this last meeting he was unusually
so, having Just returned from q WELL
earned vacation in the northern States
Eyes, l had to come back" he said,
"for things were getting in an awful
shape down here in Volusia. One fine
morning ! was enjoying an unusually
good breakfast when q man knew
called my attention to the fact that one
of the DeLand newspapers was seri-
ously criticising the board Of county
commissioners FOR allowing Ave or six
weeds to grow In the courthouse yard.
AS chairman Of the board, / couldn't
stand to see the county going TO the
dogs on account Of the weeds, 30 ] sim
ply picked up and returned home. am
going to have those weeds pulled up at
once TO save my political and business
reputation"
With q merry jest on his lips, and
pleasant smile for every person who
came within his view, Mr.. Bond trans
acted his business as chairman of the
bosrd Of county commissioners with re-
markable rapidity. He was q great
friend and believer in the State fair
movement and was determined to see
his county of Volusia creditably repre-
sented, as were the other commission
ers. "I'll be down in Tampa within ten
days to select space for my county, The
said to the writer at parting, land l
dom want Volusia set off in any corner,
either. l want to see Col. Brown and
renew old-time acquaintance anyhow. "
But that trip was never made and will
never be made.
was preparing last night to write
letter to Mr.. Bond when a Times Union
was placed in my hands. The first ar
ticlc that caught my eye was one tell
ing Of the death Of Mr.. Bond at DeLand
Saturday morning, death resulting from
heart disease. THE world has lost one
of it's greatest and rarest jewels-a
busy man with a pleasant smile, D." was
my sad mental comment.
Than Frank E. Bond there was no
more successful or busy man in the
State of Florida, he being manager and
director in a number of large business
concerns in Volusia county and~else-
where in the State. How he transacted
80 much business with apparent ease
was a marvel 10 many.
In view of his busy life and business
cares, wish to pay this one word Of
tribute to his memory: Frank b. Bond
was busy and successful man, but with
II all he always found time TO be a ge-
nial, smiling and lovable gentleman.
What greater or simpler tribute could
be paid man?

A Great Chance for Oar Teacher,
and Pupils.

The ambition OF the progressive edu-
Gators of Florida to have at the great
State fair a building dedicated to the
sole display Of educational resources of
the State will be gratified at the COM
ing fair, which opens at Tampa Wednes-
day, November IA Owing to the greatly
increased demand for exhibit space
since the fair of last year, the direct
ors have found ii necessary to erect a
number of additional buildings, the
handsomest Of which will be the edu-
catiOnal building. Absolutely no exhibit
other than those educational in charac-
ter will be allowed in the building, and
for the first time in the history Of Flor
ida the educational advantages Of the
State will be shown to thousands Of Wis
itors in a proper light. Every school
and college in Florida, public and pri-
vRte, owes to itself and the State the
duty Of being represented.
For the benefit Of teachers and pupils
a special day will be designated as edu-
cational day, and the county boards OF
education and superintendents should
grant holidays In honor Of the occasion.
! Several Of the most noted educators Of
the country will visit the fair on educa-
tiOnal day and will address those at
tending. An educational conference
will be held that will be Of greater con-
sequence than any conference Of the
kind ever held In Florida. Every teacher
should at once apply for . premium list
and discuss with their classes the diff
ferent subjects for which prizes are
offered. A postal card TO the fair asso-
citation will secure q premium list
