Although the Lafayette county corn
club was little late in getting a start
more than fifty boys have planted for
prize winning fields and they evidence
spirit of stickability that means all
of them will be in at the finish. Prof.
Hurst and Odom deserve the encour-

people Of that section in this com
mendable work, and it goes without
saying that they will get it.

try Chickens pay well under al
most any existing conditions, but OF
course better if handled in an intel
ligent manner. A friend in Simpson
county writes than a neighbor of his
with only twenty laying hens sold in
three months So dozen eggs, used all
needed at home for the table and
Matching. The eggs sold brought him
1882 and the cost of feeding the hens
was practically nothing. These twenty
hens made as much clear mony for the
owner in three months as they were
worth on the market. In what other
line is there so much profitf The en-
ergetic house wife has for years kept
a few hens for pin money and it is
safe to assert that the returns she
received equaled any thing her hus-
band had that cost ten times as
much. Mississippi is peculiarly adapt
ed to the raising Of chickens of all
kinds, and those handling them profit
ably find the investment excellent.
Mr.. L. U. Hutchinson at Crystal
Springs is a successful raiser of fine
poultry and derives good profits from
the sale of birds as well as eggs for
setting. Will Taylor at Jackson is
another breeder that is making money
and there are dozens of others that
can be named in support of the con-
tention.

One of the most destructive fire

yesterday forenoon destroying the biz

the shed which was $50 feet long and
/ so wide. aud was crowded with dry
lumber, packed in solid piles. How
| the fire started remains a mystery II
was discovered almost Immediately
! but the shed and contents were so
dry that it spread rapidly and it was
still smouldering last night although
water had been poured upon 1t all
day
There was some difficulty getting
water at first. The company has a
hose outfit of its own. recently
procured but the couplings would not
fit the hydrants, and 1t could not be
used. The Cannon Box Company had
its fire hose ut work in good time TO
protect its plant which is near there
and did effective work. The city fire
department was there shortly after
the alarm was sent in and all worked
hard TO save the great piles Of prop

and a mill building In the track of the
flames. The lumber. was Is feet from
the fire and theSf1Ati was only 25 feet
But the fire was confined to the shed
and piles OF lumber it contained.
Some complaint was made that tbs
pressure of water was not what ii
should have been, and there seemed
to be Justification for this complaint
in the weak streams that were thrown
Superintendent Cannon, OF the water
was applied to for direct
pressure from the pumps in order toI
provide better streams. Mr.. Cannon
SAYS he did not deem it wise to put
on sufficient direct pressure because
1t would have endangered the main
leadlng 10 tne nfF ana II TINS nad
tursted it would have been very
much worse. He explains that there
was 80 pounds pressure at the pump
house at the time-but the cause Of
weak streams at the fire was that the
water is led to that point by a six-inch
main which runs all the way from
he pump house to the scene Of the |
FIRE Where it was tapped by six or
ight lines of hose the friction in |
he long line of six-inch pipe and in !

centralized the pressure and to have |

Drainads Bill nafsctIys.

Tropical Sun: 1t now comes out that
the ablest lawyers in the state say that
the drainage act, and the railroad tax
measure, are not worth the paper they
are written on. The Tampa Daily
Times says:
Take for instance the bill taxing
railroads $40 a mile irrespective of
their finacial condition, which is by good
lawyers. said to be clearly uncOnsttu-
tional, which is. at all events, unjust.
There is a general impression that the
railroads of this state are not paying
their share Of the taxes. As matter
of fact, they are paying much more
than their share. The total assessed
valuation of the state is about $l4 600
900, while that of the railroads is about
S26, 900, 900, nearly One-fifth of the total
valuation of the state for purpose of
taxation. On the other hand. the roads
own only about One-fifteenth Of the en-
tire property of the state.
Conservative people here have very
little doubt that the courts will make
short work Of the new drainage law,
which is said TO be very defective. The
administration faction seems to look
upon this question as settled but in
this, they are probably mistaken.

A PRErTt LESSON.
Tribute to the Next City Marshal Of
Jacksonville Worth HSedinG.

The following tribute to cap. I"
Edwin p. Douglass, the nominee for
city marshal Of Jacksonville, appeared
in the last number Of the White Springs
Herald:
"In the city of Jacksonville this
week there was held a primary cleo
ton. For the Office of city marshal
there were several candidates, among
them being a common, ordinary every
day individual who was a street car
man. For fourteen years he has been
running car, always on time, always
urbane and courteous, always attentive
to duty, always looking personally
after the welfare and comfort of his
passengers, always shielding and pro-
tecLing the women and children, always
just where he ought to be, and in his
fourteen years service he was never re-
primanded by those who employed him.
No black mark was against him, the
city was his friend,
From street car conductor TO
marshal Of the city Of Jacksonville is
an excellent promotion and Douglass has
achieved 1t.
when he announced for the office of
marshal the women and children rallied
to his assistance. They talked, they
worked, they brought to bear every in
fluence possible for his success, and
why?
HE had been their friend and pro-
tector; he had been genial and social in
the performance Of his duties; he had
shown them loyal consideration and
cheerful manliness, not because he ex-
pected to become candidate for public
office, but because it is the genuine man
within him. His reward has come.
young men, pOliteness and gentle
manner are the stepping stones to
marked achievements and popular dist
inction. Be courteous, and especially
look to the comfort and happiness of
the women and children.
1--WE are glad Cap Douglass won.
"In this day of sordid greed and self
ish motives, 1t is refreshing to see a
young man honOred who is true to the
duties devolved upon him. Let this
promotion be a lessor; let it stimulate
the young men; let others cultivate the
habit, and let it be known that the
chief city of Florida appreciated and
has awarded honor to the man who did
his duty constantly and faithfully, and
who was friend to the women and
children.

Honesty Equal AI-speciaI Privileges None


The masters of the Republican ma
chine in Albany have surrendered to
Gov Hughes pleading that the news
papers had so Influenced public opinion
that the opposition was hopeless. Gov.
Pennypacker of Pennsylvania failed to
muzzle the papers which threatened
the downfall of corrupt machine in
the Gibraltar of its power and now II is
confessed that six million dollars were
stolen in building and furnishing a
state capitol. Ruef, in San Francisco,
confesses his crimes and testifies
against his fellow grafters because the
newspapers had convinced the people Of
his guilt and the verdict of a jury
would avail nothing. In Florida a gov
ernOr who thought he could control the
legislature finds himself denied the
statutes he needed in his business be-
cause the newspapers had alreay made
his purposes clear. What agent except
the papers showed the meaning Of in
surance contributions TO campaign
funds and the effect Of such gifts?
on the government Of the country
We quote only few of the latest in
stances furnished by history of the fact
fully appreciated by Jefferson that
free press was the only guardian of
liberty to a free people? And the
lesson is not hid under q bushel.
How should the people consider the
attacks of governors and party bosses
on the liberty of the press? When a
public Official complains of structures on
his conduct in the public press instead
of defending himself from them and
seeks to silence the voice of public
conscience by gag-law, what is the in
ference the voter should draw? IL the
charge be false why not quote the re-
cord to prove it? The people con-
stitute the jury and from the popular
judgment the official should not shrink.
To such pleas the people should turn a
deaf ear. From centuries the freedom
of the citizen has gone hand in hand
with the freedom of the press; no
cause can afford to see its champion
Overpowered. If the people desire and
value self-government as they should
they should stand by it's champions;
when the newspaper is suppressed,
freedom is drawing near its grave.
The newspaper is not always right, but
in the long run the good it does atones
for every mistake of omission or com.
mission. Times Union.
