"A Southern View.

We have said but little recently, on
he subject Of good roads, not from
5ack of interest, but owing to other
eason We expect, in the future,
% urge the matter and shall be glad
% see the time when every county in
The State has a system of good roads,
over which a team can haul a load,
and by that we mean as much as
TWO horses~ought to pull.
There is one objection to real good
roads, which should be considered
before we get them. That is the
fact that in the present condition of
Florida roads, farmers have but little
trouble with automobiles 1t is also
a fact that in many places, at the
North, they have become such a seri-
ous nuisance that people in the rural
districts dare not trust their wives
and children to drive over the roads
alone. Even where the law requires
an automobile to stop on signal, so
as to allow horses to pass quietly,
the law is frequently violated and
serious accidents are caused. Before
I'VE tax ourselves. to make good roads,
we should see to it that we have a
law which will give the farmers at
least equal rights On the roads with
THE autos. 1t will require careful
study to draw up a bill which, when
made into a law, will do the work.
l. We do not mean to drive the
automobiles from the road, but to
require them to respect the rights
of others. 1t is nc answer to say that
most of those who run the machines
will be careful to do this, without a
special law. 1t is true that most Of
them will do so. 1t is also true that
few people will steal. yet we must
| have a law to control the few who
have no regard for the rights of 9th
ers. So in the case of the autos, we
must be prepared for those who are
reckless of others rights.
Another thing in respect to good
roads. We have no objection to the
levying of a special tax for that pur-
pose, but we want it guarded by re-
strictions which will prevent boards
of county commissioners from taking
the tax of a whole county and spend
ing it on Il or two favored Sec
tons.
The expense of making such roads
might be greatly reduced by author
izing each county to work its own
convicts on the roads. both in making
and repairing. Such a law would
be better for all concerned, and the
convicts would be more likely to re-
ceive proper treatment than when
leased to any set of men whose in
terest it was to get all the work pos
sible out of a given number of men,
regardless OF conditions. We hope
that such a law will be passed at the
next session of the Florida LegisIa
ture.-Florida AgricuIturist.

Only One. Platform Dresser"

Woman suffrage is a. failure, as
serts a prominent modfste, for a
woman who votes must speak and a
woman who speaks must sit on a
platform, and there is only n wo-
man who knows how to- do that and
display her dresses properly. Mem
bers of women's clubs to whom has
been denied the distinction of sitting
on a platform may take heart at this,
and those, who rule with the gavel
must resign If they believe the asser-
lions of the modiste- The only wO-
man who has been able 70 dress cor
rectly for the platform, asserts this
arbiter, is Mrs. Donald Mclean, who
presided at the D. A. r. in Washing
ton. On the opening night she wore
a gown of lavender, which was long
enough to serve the purpose of a floor
sweeper. Her Lavender toque had
three dropping plumes and broad
purple streamers that fell under her
waist. She carried a huge bunch OF
violets.-New York Press.

The Father of West Point.

To George Washington must be
given the credit of causing the first
steps to be taken toward the founding
of a national military academy. In
1894, while serving his second term
as President, Washington succeeded
in having Congress create the grade
of cadet in the army. West Point
was chosen as the best army post at
which cadets could be trained, for the
reason that it was then the most i'm
portant station of the ~artillerists and
engineers. The cadets of those days
did not pass entrance examinations,
and the standard of proficiency in
studies did not amount to the tenth
part of what is exacted nowadays. A
smattering of engineering, mathemat-
les and artillery practice was all that
was deemed necessary.-From H. IT.

The Invalid Crawl.

Alas! Somebody in England with
nothing better to do has invented a
new walk and it is being taken up
here. At the start of practice a girl
must tie weights to the bottom of her
skirt. In walking she must appear
to be so weary that she scarcely can
drag one foot after another. Her
steps must be long and creepy, with
out the slightest hint Of energy.
Thus walks Queen Alexandra, who
adds a slight limp, as she has been
lame since infancy. 1t is limited the
languid movements were designed to
hide that defect. Gowns must be of
stuff that gives a clinging effect; then
the slow, long step, with a bending Of
the neck at every stride, will be the
most Observation-Disclosures Tele-

away one of his sleds had been
blessed with parents who made him
understand that beautiful precept
about giving. The selfish little girl
Of careless parents, perhaps, had OBJ
served and been taught, most likely,
that one must get what one can and
let the other person take a r of

It is the mothers most important
duty to teach the little ones to love

are naturally loving and unselish

unthoughtful parents,
If the little girls are not as good

woman's Right in Hopi Lands.

49,
Hopi Land comes very close to
being a woman-governed country, for
the status of woman in this little re-
public has as much freedom and dig
nifty as it possessed ages ago in other
tribes governed as communes. Hopi
society is based upon the gems"
that is, upon the cite of blood rela-
tionship. 1t is a society of equals
where help is extended and received
in the true communal spirit. How
long this will last now that the touch
Of civilization threatens to fall upon
them, can easily be guessed. Among
the Hopi the women are excellent
specimens of primitive humanity.
The young ONE are well formed
and strong, and of irreproachable
character. They own the houses as
we'll as build them, and all family
property belongs to the woman, who
is acknowledged as the head of the
household. Inheritance, therefore.
is always through the mother, and
descent is reckoned through the fe-
male line. In spite of the liberty and
Importance enjoyed by the Hopi wo-
men, their reserve and modesty is
surprising. They are as quiet and
shy as if their lives had been passed
in the utmost seclusiOn and subjec-
ton to the dominance of man.
Their whole lives are devoted to
the care of their children, and the
matrimonial customs of the Hopi
are of a grade which. If generally
understood, might make civilized law
makers and writer's Of civilized Gus
toms stop and think. 1t is marriage
from the viewpoint of the woman,
not of the man.. 1t is a striking ex-
ample of the principal effect Of Wo-
man rule, and 1t must be admitted
that it is dominated by the highest
order of purity as well as of common
sense.-"The PuehIos of the Painted
Desert" in the Craftsman.

Overwork is Waste.

Overstrained faculties can never
bring out the best results. Overwork
is always a waste of time; and,
though it may not seem so at first,
eventually the sad truth is always
manifested. To cut off needed re-
creation, to curtail the hours of sleep,
to postpone a holiday indefinitely, to
refuse to take rest and ease and
change, under the impression that
thus time is saved, is always a short
sighted policy and cften a fatal mis-
take. The time arrives when the
poor, abused faculties take their re-
venge and refuse to serve altogether,
or do so in so feeble a fashion as to
show their Observation-Disclosures

Richest Woman in the world.

Sonora Creel, wife of the new Am
bassador from Mexico, is the richest
woman in the Diplomatic Corps.
Many years ago her husband gave her
title to numerous gold prospects in
the State of Chihuahua, and only re-
1t is estimated that there is already
in sight $2OO,0O0,00 in her mines,
and her income is enormous. Sonora
Creel, according to this account, is

BOOST PRICE OF MEAT.
Law Against Diseased Cattle Makes
Famine at Packing Centres.

Chicago.-Prices of all kinds OF
packing products were raised from
n to three cents a pound by the
wholesale and retail dealers. Ths
packers have protested against pur-
chasing cattle under the new inspec'
ton law, which makes it incumbent
upon them to permit a post-mortem
examination after they buy their AMI
mails. They have demanded a better
grade of cattle, or that the farmer
stand the loss, and the farmers, 10
get even," have shut off the supply.
As a consequence, the packers nave
boosted prices.

THE cITY's GROWTH.

Every citizen not only of Gaines.
vile but of Alachua county, should
feel gratified at the wonderful growth
of this city for the past two and a
half years. 1t not only eXemplifies
the healthy condition of Gainesville
but the entire surrounding country,
as Gainesville could not prosper with
out the prosperity of her surroundings
The new directory, which, for sew.
eral unavoidable reasons has been de-
layed but which the compiler and
publisher hopes to have before the
public before a great while, will show
most remarkable Increase. In June,
1905, the city's population was 1924,
and the new directory will show 1885
an increase of about thirty-throe
per cent.
What is the secret of this wonder.

is a broad one. 1t means that the
agricultural, commercial, industrial
and religious interests have gone hand
in hand y the development of peace
full, progressive, refined and ntellec.
tual community, shared and enjoyed
by all alike in proportion.
There are today no doubt a greater
percentage of people who are residing
in this community on account of its
refined religious and educational air
than any other city of the same popu- |
lation in the United States. Gaines. !
ville's schools and churches. of which |
there are none better in the country. |
have aided materially in this progress,
and to them our people are indebted.
No better school system can be found
in the South than the system here,
which fact is conceded and appreciat
ed everywhere.
Again, while Gainesville prospers.
the county must prosper. Should a
census be taken of the county at this
time it would no doubt be shown that
the population has increased in the
same length of time proportionately. 1
AS evidence of this assumption We i
only have TO cite the thriving towns !
which hover in al their energy about {
us, as the chickens hover about their
mother hen-and they are healthy
chickens, too. Take the towns of ,
Alachua and High Springs on the ;
north, Newberry and Trenton on the |
west, Micanopy and Archer on the '
south, Waldo, Hawthorn and Melrose I
on the east, and it can be readily /
seen that the breath of progress and {
