CHAMP ION DAY
At De FUA|AK
Over Three Thousand Peo-
pie Visited Chautauqua
on Saturday.
Special t. The journal.


DeFuniak Springs, Mar. 19.-Satur-
day was an ideal day in DeFuniak
Springs, just warm enough and not
too warm; the weather man sent us
fine rain Thursday night as if fixing
up for this day, and then rain was
much needed here for the profit of
truckers and farmers. Those who had
strawberry beds and those who
planted garden truck early in Feb
ruary are enjoying the fruits of their
labor for which they took chances
against the frost the first days of
last month Peas were ready for use
the 18th day of March and as good,
think, as man ever ate. Mr.. Dave
Richardson's potatoes are more than
a foot high and other fields are about
as good. OF course frost may catch
us yet, but we will enjoy our pros
pect until it does and if it does not
we will eat early potatoes soon. IL
it does we will plant again and have
potatoes anyway if anybody has. It
is marvellous how the whole world
has turned green since last Saturday.
There is gladness in every direction
as far as the eye can see.
Saturday was the champion Chau-
tauqua day, so says Mr., Kenneth
Bruce. The largest excursion in %
years was here. Over three thousand
came in on excursion trains, besides
the OK carts from regions round
about. The town was full not in
bad sense, though some were full OF
'O-be-loyfuP and that is to the dis
credit of all who are in such condi-
ton. At three o'clock Mr.. Beauchamp
lectured on Keep on the Sunny Side
to the entire satisfaction of all who
could crowd into the tabernacle, an
immense audience, with many turned
away. The children's day is the cham
plon Nhautauqua day and the chill
dren done themselves proud So far
all the Chautauqua exercises have
been much enjoyed and the universal
verdict is: II his is the best program
for years" The lectures and bible
readings or lectures given by Mr..
Patterson have been the best. Mr..
Sunny was counted good but Mr..
Patterson is better The money-mak-
ing department is the merry-go-round.
That institution took in fifty niekels
on an average, every five minutes
for ten hours Saturday and did last
Saturday. judging from observation.
Last Saturday left the restaurants
empty and unless extra provisions
were made some had to go hungry.

Use All Convicts
On the Public Roads.

The Miami Metropolis voices The
Journals sentiments in the following
editorial on the subject of good roads
and the use of the convicts in build
ing them:
Representative McWilliams, of st.
Johns county, announces that he will
introduce a bill in the next legisla-
ture providing for the election of a
board of road commissioners, who
shall cause to be surveyed and built
three great highways of common
travel, one of them a rock road from
Pensacola to Jacksonville, another
from Jacksonville to Miami and the
third from Jacksonville to Tampa.
Continuing Mr.. McWilliams' bill
viii recite that the Board of Commits
sioners of State Institutions, at the
expiration of the present lease of the
convicts, shall lease onehalf of the
convicts, but the remaining one-half
shall be employed unuer the three
roads above mentioned; and that the
money derived from the hire Of ones
half of the number of convicts shall
be used by the road commissioners
in the maintenance and support OF
the conyicts working the roads.
The Metropolis is heartily in favor
of Mr.. McWilliams' plan to build
great highways through the state,
but it believes he could improve his
bill and speed the work by prescrib-
ing that the convicts be placed at
work on the roads until they shall
have been completed.
In this way his plans, If they cul-
inmate. could be rushed to more
speedy end. After the roads have
been completed it might be well TO
lease one-half of the convicts, while
the others are kept constantly at
work maintaining the roads, though
the Metropolis stands now, as it al
ways has, against the leasing of any
county prisoners.
Had Dade county leased her pris-
oners she would today be like many
other counties-without mile of
good roads, when as a matter of fact
she has more good roads than any
other county In the state and they
were built by her convicIs, who are
still building and repairing roads.
Escambia county has never leased
her conEicts out, but has for years
continuously worked them on the
county roads. AS a result, Escambia
county now has system of hard
roads which, while still far from
complete. has done more to develop
the county and to help Pensacola
than any other one thing the county
has ever done.
Put all of the state convicts TO
building state roads and all of the
county conyiets to building county
roads, and levy special tax to sup
port them and to keep the work
going.
We need two things in this state
more people and good roads-but it
is doubtful If we can ever get the
people. or keep them here after we
get them, until we have a general sys-
tenn of hard roads throughout the
state.

Since the president warned the
young gentlemen at his alma mater
against being moilycoddles, the word

from writer in the New York World

In some European countries they are
designated 'tum-tums (nondescripts. }
