The general plan of the work follows
the revision of 1892. That it may be
easy for the lawyers of the State to ia
miliarize themselves with the new
book, the sections of the Revised Stat
utes of 1892 are given in parentheses i'm
mediately following the section number
of the new book, the original act being
noted on the margin. All acts subse-
quent to the revision of 1892 are noted
on the margin of each page. Sections
which have been consolidated or in any
wise revised are SO noted on the mar
gin, and any new matter inserted by
the Revision Commission (adopted by
the Legislature of 1905) has no refer
ence to any act of the Legislature
This will make it easy for the bar to
see what new matter has been inserted.
There is very little Of this.)
1.-THE book contains all the laws OF
the State which are in force, and the
new book will take effect thirty days
after the Governors proclamation, 80
that hereafter the laws cited in the
court will be from the General Statutes,
instead of the Revised Statutes, the
name being changed to prevent confu-
sion. Six thousand copies have been
printed-3, 900 unbound and 5000 bound
The bound volumes (full law Sheep are
to be valued at IS each and the unbound
at $3.50 each. They can be had of the
Secretary of State, at Tallahassee only.
The entire publication is to be delivered
to the State, and no other copies can
be had"
For the information of the public, it
may be stated that the entire edition
will be forwarded to Tallahassee early
in November. The Governors procla-
nation is being printed, and will be
made an insert in each volume. It is
expected that the first delivery will be
made in Tallahassee before the first Of
November.

To the entire committee the next

ing cordial thanks for their faithful

agricultural fair, adopted resolutions
endorsing the organization Of law and
order leagues throughout the State to
suppress crime among members Of their
race. The resolutions were adopted
after a stirring speech by Gov. William

Governor jerks said that the races

RdItOriaI DictatiOn

Is a clause that means nothing -abso-
lutely nothing-yet it is one that is
sometimes heard. A case in point
was brought to our notice a few days
ago. The Democrat is charged with
trying to dictate to the people how
they shall vote"
We deny the charge
We have not, and have never had,
any such thought.
II we had the power TO dictate we
would lack the desire.
A mans vote is his own--his to use
for the public good.
The man who would undermine that
right is an enemy TO good government
and TO honesty in public works.
We believe in, and have faith in, the
intelligence and good intentions Of the
people.
In all things we cheerfully accept the
decision of the people
We also believe that a newspaper has
a work "a work which it should do well.
When there is before the people a
question demanding their consideration,
an issue to be settled by public for the
public good, a principal, any subject in
fact effecting the public, there is the
work, for such papers as have the cour-
age Of their convictions the nerve 70
say where they stand.
That Is not dictation, il is comment. -
