VERY CAPABLE MAN IN POSITION

The announcement in the Times
Recorder yesterday of the resigna-
ton of State School Commissioner

greet in Americas and this section of
the State generally, where Mr.. Mer-

ed him to give up the position he
has so ably filled for five years.
He will become associated with one
of the most extensive timber compa-
MES in the South and have headquar-
ters in Florida. Commissioner Mer-
rift will be associated with several of
his relatives who are big lumber deal
ers.
He has accepted a lucrative posi-
ton with the West Bay Naval Stores
and Lumber Company, of Florida, the
syndicate which recently bought from
the j. P. Williams Land Company of
Tallahassee, $4,000 acres of virgin
pine and cypress near ST. Andrews.
The syndicate is largely composed
of Georgia men. Mr.. Merritt is to
have the active management of the
company besides an interest in it.
State School Commissioner Merritt
had just begun his third term in
that office, having first been elected
in 1902 He is a native of Buena
Vista, and has spent practically his
entire career in educational work.
His successor, Prof. Jere M. Pound

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-workng in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.

troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
Il constitutional diseases have their begin
ing in kidney trouble.

 He suggested that the Sherman anti trust law commits the nation to pol icy which is too extreme and that the time may come when the act should be amended in q way to relieve some of the limitations upon business ac- tivity which the act imposes. He said that the purpose of such an amend ment would not be so much to relieve the corporations as the people them selves

EXPERT ON SUCCESS.

The difference between the true university ideal of success and the notion of that article held by the average scrabbler after cash is no better illustrated than by an incl dent, not apocryphal, which may here be cited. A certain easy-going junior, unframed for literary gifts and the son of self-made success who was the head of great manufactur- ing industry, was to deliver to his instructor in composition an essay of a Monday morning on Success" It was a difficult undertaking for the junior and was naturally put of un- til Sunday night. Then, and not un- til then, the junior. awakening sud- denly to a realization of his peril and to the fact that, forewarned of what would happen in case he neglected this essay, his hour had come, he rose in his terror and night shirt and telegraphed his father:
 Send me 500 words on success by morning or I am lost" A messenger delivered this appeal at a. m. in the some far distant metropolis of world Illness, and the fond father and self made success, who had climbed from freight clerk to president of this great manufacturing industry. snatched thus rudely from slumber, fondly lugubriously, Iaboriously and anx- iously composed the requisite num- Der of self-made thoughts, mailed them by special delivery and re- turned to the dream of the B. A. thus plucked from the burning for his hopeful son.
 And when the instructor, who was not a self made business man, read the results of this midnight toll he called up the son. 'I have read your essay" said the college instructor and have marked you flunked. And I have funked you because it is quite evident that you haven't the slight est idea about 'SucCess!"

There has been renewed efforts in the last few days to dig up Japanese war scare. This is based on nothing more specific than the temper of the people on the Pacific coast where it is said that there is an increasingly irrcconcilable anti-Japanese race feel ing that is bound to break out afre6h as soon as the battleship squadron ar rives in the Pacific. In conjunction with this. it is said that there is be- ing a night shift worked in most of the navy yards and that war mater ial is being accumulated as rapidly as possible. writes a Washington cor respondent. There is just enough truth in these statements to warrant denial. The most'of the navy yards are working q night shift to try to get up work that has long heeu in ar rcars. War material is being rushed to the battleshipS preparatory to their cruise, for they are not likely to start on such q cruise empty handed and there is not much time left to get them ready. Also there is deep anti Japanese feeling on the Pacific coast that is liable 10 show itself in another outbreak some time in the course of the next ten years, Just suppOsing that there should he anything in the way Of a war. however. to call forth the ability of the navy. it IS d satis- faction to know that we have just made a record for straight shooting that considerably surpassos anything done hy any of the other navies of the world, Iu target practice of Cap" Cod. the battlcships have made an average of 20.7 per cent hits under battle conditions.
