Not Too Late For HennerY-

Representative Neel, in the Geor-
gia Legislature, has set noble eX-
ample. He has discovered a way to
call an adversary a liar without
rufiling his feelings or doing violence
to the proprieties or repeating stale
and vulgar chestnut. In sharp con-
troversy with the editor of the At
lanta Constitution on a question of
fact of personal nature, Mr.. Neel
does not denounce the editor as "a
deliberate and unmitigated liar = as
ANY common chump might do, but
rising to true Chesterfieldian
heights, he says, You missed the
mark and stated proposition not IN
harmony with the facts We hail
Mr. Neel as true reformer and we
hereby enlist under his banner in
the great cause of safe and sane con-
troversy.-Live Oak Democrat.

Getting to be a Jonah

If matters keep up as they are
going we think Governor Broward
will soon be as anxious as any one
else could be for Claud L'Engle to be
taken away from Tallahassee. He
is winning enemies much faster for
the governor than the governor
could hope to win for himself The
enemy-making business is all right
for Claud, because he likes it, but it
isn't so good for politician.-Star

Get Busy For State Fair

Now let us all get busy with the
state fair and make it a bigger and
better one than any of its illustrious
predecessors. 1t might profit US to
remember that we got the first APP
preparation on account of the fact
that no point in Florida had ever
taken enough interest in the fair to
make it success. The renewal Of
the appropriation was due to the
fact that we gave the people of the
state something which they could
see with pleasure and remember and
point to with pride. Let US set out
this time to earn doubled apprOpri-
alton for the next series. 1t will
pay us all sorts of money in all sorts
of ways, and at the same time give
Tampa a reputation for always be-
ing there with the goods that will be
valuable asset for generation or

Fire and Water.

Water will eXtinguish a fire because
the water forms a coating over the
fuel, which keeps it from the air, and
the conversion of water into steam
draws off the heat from the burning
fuel. A little water makes a fire
liercer while large quantity of water
puts it out. The explanation is that
water is composed of oxygen and ny
drogen. When, therefore, the fire can
decompose the water into its simple
elements it serves as fuel to the fame

lone. of our giddy youngsters of the

make formal offer of his heart and
hand to one Of our representative
ladies to whom he had been paying
some attention for time, He eau
tiously prefaced his declarations with
few questions: Ibid she love him

him? Was she good cook? Did
she think it a wife's duty to make
home happy? Would she consult his
tastes and wishes concerning her as
sociates and pursuits of life, Gould
she make her own clothes?'' The
young lady said that before she
answered his questions she would tell
him of some negative virtues she
possessed. She never drank, smoked
or chewed; never staid out all night
playing billiards; never lounged on
street corners and ogled giddy girls;
never stood i'm with the boys for
cigars and wine suppers. Now, y
said she rising Indignantly, 81 am

find sunshine and shadows that
chase each other over the pilHowy

OF the lark, the dew of the night,
the wealth of the summer and au.
tumn rich content, all golden and
imprisoned light. Drink it and
you will bear the voices of men and

AS AN EXAMPLE TO OTHERS

Do not waste your vitality and
time in anxiety about your neigh
boris spiritual or moral condition.
The one thing of importance
above all others for each individual
is self-development. Once de-
veloped you will be an inspiration
to. Others to help themselves. You
were sent here to make the best
use of your spirit and mind. Unless
you do this, it is useless for you to
attempt to benefit others. If you
do this your example will be an in
spiration and guide.
If you keep quiet and set an ex-
ample of happy, attractive morality
and uns elflshness you will be a
more successful reformer than a
thousand aggressive and dis
agreeable teachers and meddlers.
You cannot live another's life, but
you can live your own and live it
well. Ask no mans advice, but
study the people you meet and
avoid the habits and manners which
you find annoying to you in others,
and cultivate the qualities you find
are pleasing and helpful.
The time many people give to
worry over the depravity Of the
world might be given to self analy-
sis and meditation.
Resolve to do and be what you
want others to do and be.
1t is more important to be than to
do, remember, yet if you do some
thing worth while you are sure to
do something worth while. The
lighted lamp gives forth radiance.
There are those who waste life
in running about the world offering
matches to fellow pilgrims they be-
lieve to be in the dark, while their
own lamps are unlighted.
There is a great plant of spiritual
electric light within yourself. The
most important thing in life is to
find that plant and to connect all
your being with it. saa.
Be radiant center, wherever
you 60.
Keep your own wires in good
working order Iand you will not
need to urge others to avoid the
darkness. They will see the
radiance you cast and it will be a
more convincing argument than
thousand sermons.
Once you set about this work of
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. develop
ment, not mental culture-you will
find that you are growing power
among beople. Luck, health and
happiness will attend you.
Strength, stimulation, courage and
hope will awaken in those with
whom you associate. You will
become power for good. Make
yourself before you attempt to
make others.
