a Prominent Visitor.

Among the prominent visitors TO
this city Thursday was Samuel r.
Pyles, of Ocala, who is one of the
Brick City's leading citizens.
Mr.. Pyles, prior TO the disastrous
freeze, which we all remember, was
the owner of one of the most famous
orange groves in the state. located on
the Withlacoochee river. Like many
other good and true Floridians, he lost
everything he possessed at that
time, but by push and energy has
worked himself back into the financial
and commercial world. He is one
who deserves a great deal of credit
for what he has accomplished under
difficulties.-Friday's Gainesville Sun.

Game Preserve, was in the city Fri
day. He had just returned from a
business visit tc New York, Boston

posed of all the stock of the COM
pany. He said that quite a number
of the shareholders would be down
this winter. The house on the pro-
perty will be Immediately enlarged
and put in thorough preparation for
the entertainment of the winter Wis

What syd !. Carter Saws.

Judge sgd L. Carter has returned
from a trip to the Caloosahatchee
river into Lake Okeechobee and the
Everglades. where he went with Gov
ernor Broward and a number of the
members of the legislature and Flor.
ida editors. In speaking of this trio
Judge Carter says he will frankly adj
NIT that the trip shattered" many of
bis preconceived opinions of that sec.
ton of the state. A more generous
hospitable and intelligent citizenship
than the Fort Myers people cannot be
found on the globe. "The river is ex.
ceedingly beautiful" said Judge Car
ter. 1'It is lined with thrifty farms
and magnificent orange groves. and
Lake Okeechobee is a. splendid body
of water, said to be the largest south
of Lake Michigan; and it is only a
question of time when its shores will
be lined with stately hotels and beau
tifnl residences; for he who contends
that the waters of the lake cannot be
lowered and the adjacent country
drained and brought into a hgih state
cf cultivation, does so through dense
ignorance of the facts, or else from
interested motives; and if he viii go
g, view the land for himself, he will
admit that Governor Broward's plans
are entirely practicable, however
much he may differ from the governor
about other things. s.'-Gainesville

Mr., Alexander Moorehead, our ca-
pable and worthy county surveyor,
says that he has not purchased a bale
of hay since living in Florida. That
he has always made enough for his
own use and some to spare. That
this year he has made the finest crop.
in quantity as well squality, as he
ever saw. He says that if the Flor
ida hay is property cultivated and
cut in the proper season it is more
nutritious than the imported hay
and that stock of all kinds thrive on
it well. Mr.. Moorehead's horses,
mules and cows are verifications of
all he says along this Inc for they
are fed on no other kind of proven
der and are always fat and in good
condition.

ONE DOLLAR A YEAR
CAUSES OF CRIME.

A western judge commenting on a
murder trial in which he had sat as
presiding judge, said that in his
opinion two of the more prolific causes
of crime were the bulging hip pocket
and the too prevalent habit of using
vile epithets.
Whether or not these causes hold
the record, certain it is that they
tend in a large extent to fill our jails
and penitentiaries and cause the
buildin gof many scaffolds.
The pistol toter" is an enemy of
our civilization, a constant menace
to law and order. The practice of
going armed is a relic of barbarism
and has no place in the enlightened
age. Numberless crimes have heen
committed that would never have oc
Cured if some man had not had a
revolver slowed away in his hip pock-
ct. OF course, these men are always
very sorry afterwards. But an ounce
OF prevention is worth tons and tons
of regret and remorse.
The habit of using vile epithets.
even where no insult is intended is
far too prevalent and is indictive of
nothing so much as ignorance and a
limited vocabulary. The hardest
things are best expressed in the
choicest of Kings English in language
that cuts and hurts, but does not in
suit. The man who does not descend
To profanity is very likely to keep
his temper in check, and he pursnes
ia course that aids the other fellow in
the same line of endeavor.
A more rigorous enforcement of
the law against the pistol toter''
and the man of vile speech will re-
fy;t in lessening the annual number
of murders in Florida.-Palatka News.
