CARRYING SUNSHINE WITH YOU.
THE cheerful man" says DR.. Hills,
"carries with him perpetually, in his
presence and personality an influence
that acts upon others as summer
warmth on the fields and forests. 1t
wakes up and calls out the best that is
in them. 1t makes them stronger, bra
yer and happier
"Such man always makes a little
spot of this world a lighter, brighter,
warmer place for other people to live
in. To meet him in the morning is to
get inspiration which makes all the
days tasks and struggles easier His
hearty hand shake puts thrill Of new
vigor into your veins. After talking
with him few minutes you feel an ex-
hlaration Of spirits, quickening Of the
energy, a renewal Of rest, an interest
in living, and are ready for any duty or
service.
Great hearts there are among men.
They carry volley Of manhood; their
presence is sunshine, their coming will
change our climate. Blessed are the
happiness makers; they represent the
best forces in civilization"
The Carrabelle Advertiser thinks it
has drawn a bead on Mr.. Beard, ard
says: 1T does not require the acumen
of Philadelphia lawyer to see through
Hon. j. 5. Boards opposition TO drain
age He contends that the State lands
have been granted to the railroads and
that the courts will so decide, in his
opinion. And if the courts so decide, it
will be equally just for them to decide
in favor of the Beard WALES claim.
See? In other words, Hon. John S.
knows on which side his bread is but
tered. See again." No, we don't see.
Will Editor Williams shed more light
and tell US what the connection is be-
tween the railroads claim to Florida
land the Beard Wales claim? We con-
TESS, after some study, we do not see
how decision adverse TO the State in
the one case can influence the courts to
an adverse decision In another case, es-
pecially when the claims in one case are
based on legislative grants, and in the
other on contracts with the State adj
ministration Times Union Short Talks.
Divested Of technicalities and taken
at their moral face value. both cases
are the result of breaches of contract
on the part of State officials and are
correctly characterized by word which
honest men fear Reputation. The
difference between the two cases most
pertinent to the paragraph above
quoted is that the railroads have the
privilege of appeal 10 the courts for re-
dress, and lost no time in doing so,
while the Wales. Beard claimants have
not this privilege, and their case is not,
and has not been. before the courts. A
corporation may sue the State: u citi,
zen cannot. The Florida Legislature,
at the dlctation of Jennings, declined
TO allow the courts to decide, on it's
merits whether this claim was or was
not just one. Our Advertiser friend
should be sure of his ground and should
endeavor not to confuse the public
mind in discussing these important
questions. Let each come in its turn,
and be settled on it's merits.
