THE ONES WHO ARE HURT.

Did you ever notice that talk
doesn't hurt a man much? Perfection
isn't looked for in man, and when
some one tries to injure man by
ranting about few faults he has the
absent one, who is probably attending
to his own affairs, is elevated in the
hearers estimation, while the inform
ant is lowered accordingly. If man
knocks along doing fairly well people
realize that while he has some faults
he has more virtues, and they are
charitable enough to overlook the
faults. But it is different with girl
or a woman. No matter how good
and pure woman may be let some
one start an infamous story about her
and everyone is willing to pass it
along, and there is always some one
to believe it. That lie can never be
lived down. 1t may burn low, but the
gossip-loving are ready with new fuel.
Did you ever think how damnably
mean some goody-good people are in
this respect?

OUGHT To BE HAPPY.

The American workingman ought to
be inefably happy, if it is true that
the corporations are all his friends.
With the sugar trust to sweeten his
drinks, the tobacco trust to soothe
his nerves, the beef trust to feed him,
the insurance trust to look after his
widow and orphans, and a thousand
miscellaneous trusts making love to
him day and night he is better off
than even Tam O'Shanter.
Kings may be blessed, but Tam was glorious
Der all the ills OF life victorious"

Denial in Judge speer's Court
MACON, June 22.-Sensational
charges were made against Judge D.
W. Haygood and w. l.. QUITS,
counsel for the Southern Realty ana
Investment Company of Fitzgerald
in the federal court to-day, when Olln
Wimberly, representing parties CON
testing titles to lands claimed by the
concern, asserted that the attorneys
had formed a bogus corporation OF
their own under the South Dakota
laws for business in Fitzgerald, IN
order to remove Jurisdiction from the
community when they went into the
courts defending claims to lands WEere
they could gain an interest by pur-
chase.
Two sessions of the court were held:
and when Judge Speer had removed
the jury he advised the lawyers 10
withdraw the case, or some good
mans reputation might be brought
into serious question.
Alex King. Esq, of Atlanta, who ap-
peared for Cults and Haygood, ex-
planned that he thought when the
proper evidence was given the matter
would be cleared up. a long staIe-
ment by Cults closed the work OF the
day.
The Fitzgerald attorneys entered the
court with a case involving title 10

Whether the Bible be true or false,
whether there be God above or devil
beneath, whether there be Heaven and
hell for the bad or not, this much
we know-that some men do like devils
here, and some men are good and true;
that honest men and thieves and rakes,
blasphemers and devout men, ETC., are
moving along down here; one bless
ing, the other cursing the world. If
religion can do nothing for US Door
fellows but make US good citizens,
good fathers and mothers and good
neighbors it is worth while to mingle
and worship with its virtues. But re-
ligion must be preached, worked and
lived. Nothing can be accomplished
without effort.

WHOLESALE FISHING.

BY some of our west coast exchanges
it is learned that steamer and mum
Der of small boats have been secured and
will be sent to Lake Okeechobee to fish
in that body of water, which at present
is said to TEEN with fish.
Probably, or possibly, these fishermen
have the right to do this Wholesale fish
ing, and will be allowed to do it unmo.
Tested, but the result will be that in u
very short time the fishing will be one
of the has beens, and this attraction to
the tourist and source of many good
meal to the settler will be only tradi-
ton.
1t does seem that some action should
be taken by the Legislature or by the
County Commissioners of the counties
in which Lake Okeechobee lies, or by all
the Legislative bodies having jurisdic-
tion in such matters, to stop this whole
sale fishing, not only in Lake Okeecho-
bee, but in all the waters of the State.
1t IS true that quite number of men
make n living by fishing, but among
them are many sensible ones that say
such wholesale and altogether indiscrim-
mate fishing is running the business, and

IN THE SUMS CHARIOT
Intimate Talks BetWeen Publisher and Reader

It's about time we heard form YOU
as to what you think of THE SUN.
We have received letters by the dozen
during the past month from people all
over the country. These letters were
nearly all of the right sort, for, with
one or two exceptions, they commended
us for the stand we have taken for in.
dependence, for freedom of expression,
for clean, decent journalism, and for the
right as we see it.
All of this kind tell us to keep stout
heart and a strong courage, to continue
in our fight for the rights of the many
against the encroachments of the few.
Some of these letters have come from
far-away points, like Boston, Kansas
Indian Territory, California, and even
Washington State. Some came from
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and the
Carolinas.
But most of them came from the State
in which we live, written by people who
know us, and are known of us.
Just in passing we might mention
that by far the greater number of the
letters contained orders for subscrip-
tions and money with which to pay for
them. The last causes us incidentally
to remark:
If every well-wisher was to turn him
self INTO A CASH SUBSCRIBER, we
would not be longer troubled about such
sordid, senseless, souless thing as
money.
But-as we were saying-getting the
letters is the main thing. Keeping our
soul alive is the great desideratum. The
money will come as we need it.
What we really started out to say is
this:
Do you like THE SUN?
Is it what you expected it would be
Is it what you WANT 1T TO BE?
If so, and if you have not already
done so, write us line or two telling
us so.
If not, write anyway, and tell us why
you are not pleased
Maybe we can get together on this
thing. Maybe we can, by adding touch
here and leaving out thing there, fix
the paper to suit you. We can never
know how pleased or displeased you may
be if you do not tell us.
Some people have told us that last
Saturdays issue was the best we have
produced since our reincarnatiOn. We
are rather inclined to agree with them,
but we would not have had our opinion

smaller lakes and other waters of the
State. and they would like to see it
stopped.
They freely state that it is a hoggish
way to do, and the height of selfshness
for comparatively few men to go to
the different good fishing places and fish
and fish till there are not enough fish
left for the use of the people living in
the neighborhood of these fishing
grounds; then up and move to another
place and repeat the whole business.
The fishing in both the fresh and salt
waters of Florida used to be phenomenal,
but to-day there are comparatively few
good fishing places left, and before they
are all gone something should be done
to save this means of sport and vituals
to the people of the State and the tour
lists who visit here in the winter to en-
joy the sport and the meals also.-Palm

THE OCALA BANNERS PIETY.

The only thing pious about the Jack

Banner does not give this much evidence
of piety.-MetropOlis.
Oh, yes, it does.
The Ocaa Banner never prints SEN
sational article and turns its face like
flint against scandal or anything ap-
preaching scandal,
1t may be said of the Ocaln Banner,
as Father Shcenan in his book, "Under
the Cedars and the Stars" says of the
writings of Edgar Allen Poe. This de-
lightful writer says:
"'rhe most timid and reserved of
young men might read the works Of Poe
right through Boston literary circle,
or at a family party after tea, or to II
group of ladies on some balcony at IL
seaside hotel, might read through with
out blush, or II stammer, or single
look in advance tentative of rude

about it.
You may remember what we said in
this column some weeks ago about NEW
FEATURES. If you have forgotten it
WE HAVEN'T,
All the time do we keep our eye on
the ball.
We have two new features to talk
about right now.
One you already know about since last
week, but we will Just mention it.
Every week, for quite awhile, we will
print completed story and poem,
each written by Florida author. Our
contest, just ended, brought in an even
six dozen of them. Some are better than
others, but ALL ARE GOOD, and are
of greater interest because of the pride
all of us take in witnessing the expires.
sion of home talent.
The other feature we have ready for
talking about right now is brand new,
and if it amt winner, why-we are
no longer able to pick 'em.
We nave bought the exclusive serial
rights for this territory for series of
JOHN HENRY sketches in slang, by
Geo. V, Hobart.
While George Aid was doing these
kind of literary stunts, there used to be
two men who wrote this kind of stuff.
Now there is ONLY ONE, and George
V. Hobart is his name.
The JOHN HENRY series will begin
next month.
There are ii of them-read the fig
ures, l4-and there will be illustra-
tiOns to suit.
This puts us in the A class for high
class hlmor. For, with Charles Battle
LOOMS and George V. Hobart on our
list, that's where we surely belong.
With The Cars Spy running for
some weeks yet, our fiction department
is, with the addition of the completed
in each number) Florida stories, well
looked after. We do not see how we
are going to improve it, but if we should
find way we will do it, just "as sure
as shootin'."
OF course you know that Taylor will
keep up the high-class work he is doing
for us in the cartoon way, and you also
know that we are sure to "dig up" some
special stories that the other fellows
overlook.
