Mrs. Child, editor of the Arcadia
Champion, is usually most amiable
on the editorial page of her paper
and 50 gentle in reproof and criticism
that to attract her notice has been
heretofore something to be desired
But last week 1t seemed otherwise, in
fact, far otherwise, and If we felt
sure that her barbed shaft was not
aimed in our direction, we would like
10 know TO what unfortunate brother
she referred TO In the following:
Whoever feels himself guilty should
certainly hasten to reform:
IF their knowledge in other d.
Fection can be measured by the
ignorance of some Of our Florida
editors in photography and compost
ton, 1t is exceedingly unsafe to trust
them as leaders in any line. There
have been wise men who were IN
learned in the rules Of grammar, but
they have seldom in other states than
Florida had the poor Judgment to
enter a profession lacking the very
rudlments Of the education necessary
to successfully prosecute 1t. It's not
SO much a trip to Tallahassee, boys,
you need, as a good long course at a
night school"

A large part of the moral effect
of justice administered through
the courts is necessarily lost if it is
divided along lines of race or caste
or color. 1t is just as important to
punish guilty white men as it is to
punish guilty negroes, and a very
sure way to increase lawlessness
among both races is to show any dis
ordinations along racial lines in the
conviction of criminals. In this con-
nection the Lake and News has the
following to sey:
There have been several hangings
in Florida quite recently, but the
victims of the outraged majesty Of
the law were all negroes. The news
columns of the State papers
contain very frequent accounts Of
murderousl ARRAYS in which the prin-
cipals are white men, but there are
no hangings with white men as the
victims. Justice is supposed to be
blind, but In Florida she doesn't
seem to be color blind, at any rate"

We note with sincere pleasure that
the Lakeland News Is to be put into
a stock company capitalized for
$4,000, with the facilities Of the
paper correspondingly increased and
Editor Hetherington, of course, kept
at the helm. We like Hetherington;
he is a man of force and ideas and
has his say in good strong scholarly
English which is all the better for
certain acid, biting quality in it,
never permitted to degenerate into
the poison of malice which wounds
and stings merely to infict pain up
on others and crafty a morbid self
esteem. The State press has no
shrewder commentator upon the
passing throng and the comedy Of
life than the philosophic cynic of the
News, and there is breadth Of view
and serious purpose in his work to
make it instructive no less than
entertaining. With increased facili-
ties the News win be an even better
paper than it is and that will be good
for Lakeland and all the rest US who
scan its pages every week.

Jacksonville Times-Union, I'D
Through the generosity Of Capt

To Capt. Hillman's generosity is
due the credit for the wonderful pro-
gress that has been made in this
work.
His first donation to the work
came in the shape of a check for

between Main and Laura, was then
selected and, the purchase price

The Live Oak Democrat is inclined
to accept the Times Unions state
ment that much of the popular dis
content with the courts comes from
the failure Of lawyers to put a duty
to the public, and the profession
higher than a duty to client. The
profession needs to accept the view
that full duty Is discharged when
the accused has received a fair trial,
and that technicalities need not be
perverted to the defeat OF justice and
the injury of great principles. First
spt-alI g lawyer is the advocate Of
Justice and the friend of the court;
honor does not demand that the IN
terest Of the client swamp all other

CHINESE USE TIME STICKS.
Each One Will Burn Throughout a
Period of Twelve Hours.

Youths Comparatively Chinese
have several contrivances for keeping
the time of day. The water clock
has often been described, but the
use of burning sticks is less familiar.
These are described by Colonel
Bridges in mis- book Round the World
in Six Months
We bought a small bundle of time
sticks. me sticks, each of which
is thiTty-two inches long, are used, as
their name more Or less implies,
for the purpose of measuring time
For use by day some are especially
made, while others for service by
night are particularly constructed
Each burns during period of twelve
hours. Of these King Alfred's can
dies as some of our party termed
them, We bought two, and from d
printed circular or advertisement
which was at the same time handed
to us by the man who sold them we
learned the following particulars:
The materials of which these time
measuring sticks are made are pre-
pared according to the directions OF
the official or imperial astronomers
or .astrologers. The duration of each
stick is adjusted according to the
clepsydra, or water clock, SO that The
time which it indicates when burnin :
may be regarded as correct.
Time sticks which are manufacture
ed to mark the hours of the day must
be lighted at day dawn, when the
lines on the palm of the hand are
just visible, while those which are
constructed to mark the hours of the
night must be lighted at dusk, when
the lines on the palm of the hand are
not discernable Each stick when
burning must be placed in a perpen-
dicular position 1t is also necessary

1T turned out that the issue was be
tween Italy and Germany, and the
latter won, for we elected Father

with the pope at Rome and with the
German Jesuits.

FUNERAL OF INDIAN CHIEF.
Last of the PottaWatonies Laid to
Rest With Unique Ceremonies.

Holton. Kan, Recorder.-The Last
of the Pottawatomies' is gone and
probably never again will the mem
bers of the tribe see a characteristic
tribal funeral. Kack-Kack was Dur
led last week with all the honors due
to his age and condition. The tribal
ceremony used had not been employed
before for many years and it is llktly
it never will be again. The body Jay,

dressed in moccasins and leggin 5,
much beaded, being left bare from the
waist up, except for much paint of
many colors A 2x4 scantling was
placed across the top of the box, Oh

two hogs and ten turkeys cooked to-

"Squaw bread was also made i'll
large quantities and other delicacies
furnished were pies, cake, canned
blackberries, dried peaches, tea and
coffee
This feast was spread upon the floor
and all present, including the white
people were expected to partake Of
it. A long grace or prayer was said
before eating and the peace pipe was
smoked. The first feast was held on
Sunday and another one at the house

grave. Monday afternoon the box

which the memory of the dead chief

Madison, April B.

Madison, April D.
That the new Wisconsin capitol
will be built of Bethel, Vermont, white
granite, preferably to Georgia marble,
is a much stronger proposition than
before the capitol commission and sew
eral mebers of the legislature went
on their trip of inspection of buildings
and quarries.
The question of material has sim
mered down to a choice between mar
bile and white granite, in accordance
with the law recently enacted by the
legislature on this subject. The COM
mission seemed to be rather inclined
toward the marble of the Southern
Quarries at Tate, Georgia. 1t is be-
lieved that the inspection trip has
placed the Vermont material more IN
favor, although the commission nor
membe of the inspecting party have
not declared themselves positively on
this point. The decision will prob
ably be made at the next meeting OF
the commission.
