Fourth - Even if the proposed
amendment TO the Florida cOnstitu-

exists for il. The negroes in the
state can scarcely be considered po-

suited principally from the adoption
of the Australian ballot and the poll

my opinion. is here TO stay He fur

Both races occupy the same territory.
and while not tOlerating anything
tending to social equality, it is the
duty of all good citizens to do every
thing proper TO avoid race conflict
or antagonisms. The negro question
which we have TO deal with is suf

unnecessarily rendering il more SO.
l have always thought that the en-

mistake. but for the foregoing Tea-

would be unfortunate, and submit
these views for such consideration
as they may be worth.

When one compares the climate of
West Florida with that of the PENN
sula portion of the state the concIu-
SIGN is easily reached that this is
about as far south as il is desirable
TO go to seek a home. For instance,
contrast the weather conditions pre-
vailing with us here for the past three
months, during which time we have
had an abundance of rain, so neccs-
sary to growing crops, with me situa-
ton described in the following para
graph from the White Springs
Herald:
A dispatch from Kissimmee says no
rain has fallen in that section for
eight months, that all vegetable crops
are a failure in consequence, in some
cases no planting being attempted.
Orange trees, except where the own
ers are irrigating. will die if ram does
not soon fall. Cattle are dying on
ranges for want of water and grass.
The northern part of the state has
happily been relieved by abundant
rains falling during the past few
weeks, but the conditions IL some
| parts of South Florida are deplorable.
In Cuba, also, the country is parche d
and cattle are dying, no raj \ having
fallen for more than six months.
The state pardoning board is com.
ing in for another GUESSING at the
hands of the state press. The Live
Oak Democrat expresses itself rela-
tive to the matter in the following
language:
The state pardoning board is al
ways doing something nice. About
their latest caper is to pardon nan
convicted of selling liquor in a dry
county. who was convicted, fined and
sentenced to serve six months in the
county Jail. He had been convicted
several times before, and the judge
thought to give him a sentence severe
enough to make law abiding citizen
out of him, but before he had com
menced on his Jail sentence, the par
| dOning board set him free Very lit
! tie use to punish crime, pay court
costs. etc, until some change comes
over the pardoning board or until the
personel of the pardoning board is
changed. There must be change
| somewhere.

The Left Hand.

II is strange that so strong a preju-
dice against the left hand has lived and
increased for centuries when there is
no natural or physiological reason for
II. Examination Of the skeleton of a
person who was strong. healthy and
well formed in life shows that the
bones Of the left hand and arm are just
as large and capable as those Of the
right.
The study of physiology shows, too.
that the muscles and ligaments and
cartridges that fastened that persons
arms to his body and gave him the
power OF motion were made to do their
work Just as well on one side of the
body as on the other. If the left side
was the weaker II was because Of the
failure to exercise it as freely as the
other.
