nerve force that causes your

and this committee will report at the
next meeting of the directors.
Many matters were discussed by the
members of the new board regarding
tie Carnival and the best means to OBJ
tain results, and the general impress
sion prevailed that heretofore the
plans for the celebration had been
mapped out too late, the committees
not being named at an early enough
date. This year it win be different as
an early start has been made.
1t was decided by the directors that
hereafter representatives of the daily
papers would be admitted to meetings
of the board For the past few years
only members of the board were al
lowed TO be present at these meetings
hut it is believed more publicity and
better results can be obtained by adj

BARRY'S ARTICLE ON
SLAVERY IN FLORIDA
Tallahassee Sun.


I rending tales about being enslaved.
Mr.. Barry is willing to put in fair
ly good word for Florida. He doesn t
want to be too terribly severe. He
says in another paragraph: The
; horrors of the convict system have be-
come so heartrending in Florida dur
ing the past few years that respect
! goodly number, have at last arisen in
revolt"
Thanks for those few find words.
"a goodly number
The Northern readers of Mr. Barry's
article may believe that the people OF
Florida are terribly wrought up about
the evils of the convict system, but
no one who knows the true condition
is wrought up about it at all. rhc
fact is that FlOrida's convicts are bet
ter treated than the shop girls are in
New York, where the Cosmopolitan
is printed.
AS l said before, Mr.. Barry was in
my Office. He was there several
times. l talked ''peonage" with him
at length, and piled him skilfully with
questions. He seemed anxious to i'm
press me with his thorough knowledge
of the subject, but he was not able to
tell me anything definite about it
This story is a studied one on the
part of hired man to earn his pay,
without any regard for the truth, or
for the injustice that his biased hand
ling of the few shreds of truth will
do a great state, composed of as good
people as there are in any state 1t
is about on a par with the wild stuff
that has been printed in western
newspapers and is calculated to do a
great deal of harm.
Any condition skilfully worked up
can be presented in bad light if the
desire is great and an opportunity to
sell it is presented.
