Hon. E. S. Gambler and the
corps of government experts
held a meeting here at the court
house last Friday, and spent a
very interesting day discussing
matters Of interest pertaining to
agriculture, etc. They were
welcomed by quite a number of
farmers and business men, who
listened attentively to the inter-
esting and instructive speeches
delivered. Mr.. Gambler is a man
who always works to the inter-
est of his constituents, especially
the farming class, who are de-
irving much benefit from this
work.

1t is told of an Indian Terrific
ry editor that he visited the in
sane asylum while in st Louis
recently, and was mistaken by a
lunatic for a felloW-sufferer just
arrived. Becoming confidential,
the inmate asked the editor what
made him crazy, and to humor
him the editor replied: EN-
deavoring to make money out Of
the newspaper business" "Oh,
rats!!'' said the lunatic, "you are
not crazy; you are just a d-n
fool"

The Planet Mars.

Inc astronomers are again oil
~recting the attention of the pub
lie to their oft-asserted belief
that the planet Mars is inhab-
tied, and this time they are urg-
ing it with such insistence that
expressions of doubts by a mem
Der of the laity is likely to pro-
woke personal difficulties.
Prof. Lowell-whoever he is
has been making some observa-
tons since the planet has been
in proximity to the earth, which
causes the London Telegraph to
gravely remark that nothing of
such profound human concern
has ever before been presented
on equal authority, and with
much defiateness and assurance"
Well, suppose we see about
that for a moment. When a
thing is of profound hnman
concern" it is tule for all of US
who feel like we are human be-
ings to get interested.
According to the calculations
of these astronomer fellows, the
distance of the planet Mars from
the earth, at the time of it's near
est proximity, is AZ, 600, 900 miles.
Adopting as a basis of calcula-
ton the speed of the best air
ships yet invented, or even con-
ceding to airships a speed of six
ty miles per hour, which few of
them have attained, and travel
ing dav and night in aerial flight,
making no allowance whatever
for stops at meal stations, it
would take about ninety years
to reach the planet Mars.
Few of us live to attain the
age of ninety years, and it is al
most certain that none of us
would be willing to spend a life
time making such a journey,
even were it possible to do so.
The element of profound human
concern is therefore reduced to
nothingness, insofar as there is
any likelihood of forming an ac-
quaintance with the Martians.
The theory hat Mars is in
habited rests upon the suppose
tion-and only the superstition
that certain definite and regular
markings seen on the surface of
the planet are canals of artificial
construction. This, Of course,
arouses within us a polite curios-
ity. We would like to know
something about their canal sys-
tenn, the methods of engineering,
how much time was occupied
with the digging process, and
whether the Maritian congress
made appropriations commensu-
rate with the amount of work
undertaken, but this polite curl
osity is, after all, scarcely more
than a languid interest in the
subject. We are willing to give
Prof. Lowell and his co-laborers
a patient hearing when they ex-
pound their theories, and Of
course we would be delighted to
know about it if the scientists
succeed In establishing some
means Of communication with
the Martians, even though it be
only desultory Wig-wagging
which neither can understand,
but Prof. Lowell must excuse us
if we positively decline to get
excited over it. jackson News.

upon it. The village will be destroyed.
The mountain is now flaming furious
ly. Lava is squirting from great assures
which have opened in the baked crust
of earth. Smoke hangs close to earth
for miles and cinders constantly rain
throughout the region. Choking gases
and fine dust make living close 10 the
volcano impossible. Many people were
overcome in the rush from the villages
and mad to be carried TO points Of safety.
Mt. Etna, according to reports from
Naples, continues 10 eruption. The In
habitants OF the nearby country have
altogether abandoned their houses and
are now encamped out Of harms way.
The eruption is becoming more violent.

mingle with the teachers, pupils and
citizens of Suwannee county, and
the audience plainly showed they
were only too glad to have him with
them. Mr.. Sparkman is a gifted
orator, a scholarly gentleman, and
in debate is one of the noblest Ro-
mans of them ell in legislative halls.
He confessed however that he was at
q loss to know how to address boys
and girls. but, nevertheless, proved
himself to be as much at home in
Live Oaks Auditorium as he is in
the use of language that might not
be understood by youthful minds and
his address was a mastery effort in
every sense of the word. He said
that success is not the accumulation
Of wealth. Some of our wealthiest
men have sacrificed honor, and
wrecked thousands of homes in their
eagerness to get money. Such men
never gain success. They reap as
they SOW and their lives are lives OF
misery. One should strive for high

man or woman who cannot reach It.

has the energy and determination
to do so. No person is in too humb-

socially, politically or otherwise. AS
illustrations he showed that Napo-
leon Bonaparte, Stonewall Jackson
and others rose to prominence, yet
in youth, they were apparently dull
bows. He said that Washington was
not an extraordinary man, and al
though known as First in war. first
in peace. and first in the hearts or
his countrymen," in war he lost more
battles than he ever won. There Is

who Is determined to accomplish an
object, 1t only requires TWO per cent
of inspiration and ninety-eight per
cent of perspiration. With the motto,
81 can and l will" faithfully lived up
to. all will succeed. Mr.. Sparkman
made one of the best addresses ever
heard in Live Oak, and gained hosts
of friends here.
