viously authorized from Peter Mancini.
Between the time the committee acted
upon the matter and the board authorized
the purchase the property changed hands,
Mancini suddenly sailing for Europe and
transferring 1t to Thomas Pupilella. The
resolution authorizing It's purchase from
Manclni had already gone through before
the change in ownership was discovered,
and the substitution resolution offered last
night was necessary to make the proper
authority.
The schoolhouse committee reported the
sale of three frame buildings on this prop
erty for $500; also the sale Of the "Wallace
homestead on the site bought for the
erection of a technical high school, for
$751;.
j. Edward Smith. chairman of the re-
pairs committee, offered a resolution call
ing upon the finance committee of the
Common Council to appropriate $4,000 for
the use of his committee. THIS resolution
was adopted, and the committee will short
ly appear before that body and ask for the
appropriation. In addition to the request
of the Board of Education, the committee
was pledged the moral support of the Board
of Estimate several days ago when it APP
peared before that body. Several commits
siorers spoke in favor Of the resolution.
Commissioner Smith offered another reso-
luton which provoked considerable com
ment. all of which ended In its unanimous
adoption. This resolution was to the eff
feet hat four carpenters be permanently
appointed to the force. Commissioner Girls
.Hey wanted to know how the carpenters
would be paid if the repairs committee was
broke" and Commissioners Simmonds and
Backus inquired why 1t was necessary to
Increase the force by four men. Nj. Smith
explained his resolution by saying that
while his committee haG no money to spend
for actual repairs, it had figured ahead and
counted the carpenter payroll as a fixed
charge. and that it had still enough to pay
this. He also said that the men were bad
ly needed, and that the present force was
unable to do all the work required of 1t.
Commissioner LIE Francis corroborated him
and the resolution was passed.

Instantly lean, lank, ragged Geor-
gia boy, an artilleryman, about nine
teen yeas old, stepped to the front
and went at once to the flag pole. 1t
was now the evening of the 10th.
In the prison and garrison and even
in the city, excitement was intense.
Thousands watched that Georgia boy
climb the pole. The entire garrison
off duty was gathered around the fig
pole, sailors swarmed in the rigging
of their ships on the lake, and peo-
pie on the house tops all watching one
of the most daring and thrilling acts
of the war. The boy from Georgia
reached the top Of the pole, swayed,
in a gale Of wind, and in a few sec
onds fixed the rope; then, waving his
old Confederate hat three times about
his head, threw it at the crowd be-
low. A mighty cheer went up as he
started on his descent. The prisoners
caugh it up. and for the first and only
time the Rebel yell was heard in
Northern prison.
AS he came down in reach the Fed
eral soldiers pulled him off the pole
and on their shoulders, carried him to
the provost officer near by, where he
signed the oath. or parole, and there.
were handed to him five one-hundred-
dollar bills and his transportation pa

evening. He had no idea Of climb
ing that flag pole thirty minutes be-
fore he started up it. I would l'~e

A story is related Of two teams
ters meeting with their teams in
road in which it was very undesir-
able to turn out on the other side.
Both claimed to have the right of way
and each refused to turn out for
the other to pass. After a long time
spent in fruitless arguments one
said to the other: "Now, if you don't
move out of the way p. d. q. I'll do
to you as I once did to another fell

threat that the man drove aside and
let his opponent pass. This done,
curiosity led him to ask what terrib~

was a prisoner Of war in Camp Doug
las from December %, 1862, to June
10, 1865 On the morning Of the 18th
Of April, 1865, after the assassination
of President Lincoln flags were order
ed to half-mast. The lanyard Of the
garrison flag was caught and hung a
few feet from the top, and could not
be moved either way Colonel Sweet,
the post commander, ordered a man
detailed to climb the pole, one hun
dred and eighty feet high, to tx the
rope. The detailed soldier climbed the
pole, but just as he reached the top
and before he could fix the pulley he
lost his hold and fell fearful fall
to the ground.
The entire garrison of three thou
sand men and thousands of prisoners
witnessed the appalling sight The
man lived about two hours. On the
morning of the 10th the Colonel called
for volunteer to climb the pole, but
ont Of the entire force of three thou
sand men not one would volunteer
for the hazardous climb. Then re-
ward Of five hundred dollars was Of
fered; but, strange to say, no one ac-

Sweet. "Out Of the twelve Thousand
prisoners we will find man who will
climb that pole. The prisoner WHO

"A LITTLE 2x4 EDITOR"

The Live Oak Democrat has the fol-
lowing on Governor Broward becom-
ing an editor after he steps from
the gubernatorial shoes:
"The rumor that Governor Bro
ward may go into Florida journalism
when he retires from Office affects us
most pleasantly. During his term as
governor he has had much to say in
criticism Of the press of this State,
and at times has seemed to think it
a sin, per Sc, for any newspaper
to question the wisdom Of his policies.
Now we would like him to get the
benefit Of different point Of view
and as editor Of a newspaper, see how
far removed from infallibility is even
the chief executive Of the State We
would warmly welcome Editor Bro
ward to our noble fraternity, and
would chuckle with joy to see him
launching his shafts of editorial c1iti-
cisms at some other Napoleon dressed
IN a little brief authority who would
promptly report upon him with
blighting scorn by referring to him
as "a little 2x4 editor" You remem-
Der the phrase, Governor? You
didn't originate it, for it has been
in use for generations by politicians
sQuirming under press criticism; but
If our memory serves us correctly,
you have hurled that ancient chest
nut at Florida newspapers on more
than one occasion, and we want to
see some Jove on High Olympus up
at Tallahassee hurl it at you a few
times and carefully observe its eff
fects unon a new hand at the bel
lows. It has been so long since we
heard it +he first time in our own
case that we have forgotten TIE sen
sation. "Little 2x4 Fditors!" It
seems severe, but as a matter Of feet
it is perfectly harmless-a venerable
petrefaction which veteran editors re-
gard as something in the nature of a
curio in newspaper museums 20
point it out to visitors as a speci-
men of the now obsolete weapons
used in the ancient warfare of print
tive journalism
And maybe, too, he will consider
seriously some of his charges about
the Florida editors "selling their
editorial space by the inch, with SON
timent thrown in, etc. Won't eur
ex-governor editor have a live-wire
time Of it, though, evening up with
some Of us corporation or infu-
enced, owned 2x4 s." who have dared
to criticise some Of his official acts I?
But who still admire whatever Of
good there is in him, just as much as
does the st. Augustine Meteor, The
Brooksville Argus, The Arcadia
Champion, and some others that are
always telling the people what "a
good man our governor is.
