a Queer SHAVING Cnntss.-

Probably the most curious shaving
competition which ever took place was
that conducted at a local hall in the
north Of London a number Of years
ago. The skill of a certain b&rber
having been disputed. he offered to
shave ten men with ten penknives in
quicker time than any other tonsorial
artist could perform the same feat with
raZOrs. The challenge was taken up.
and on the night Of the contest ten
men, each with a three days growth
of beard, were arranged down either
side of the platform. Assistants Iath-
cred each man in turn. while the bar
berS performed the shaving nperations.
The man with the penknife proved SO
dexterous that he finished his ten men.
with but three cuts among them. IN six
and a half minutes, the other man not
only taking half a minute longer. but
also cutting five of his victims.-Lon-

HANS NEUMEIER
WAS DROWNED
LAST NIGHT
German Immigrant Fell from
Commandments Wharf
as Boarding Pilot
Boat.

Hans Neumeir, q German and appar-
entity about SO years OF age, met death
last night at the end of Commander
cia wharf by falling between the wharf
and pilot boat Pilot, and drowned be-
fore a line could be thrown him.
Neumeier and a friend who is also
employed on the boat, had been to the
city during the early portion Of the
night and were returning aboard short
ly before midnight The man accom-
panying Neumeier was we'll acquainted
with the wharf and easily stepped On
board the vessel by first stepping on a
piling, but NeuTHeier, who followed. in
attempting to step aboard fell between
the wharf and vessel. 1t vas veTy
dark at the point and he probably mis-
calculated the distance. and in falling
probably struck his head against the
side of the vessel or a wharf fender,
as he made no noise, even when his
companion, noticing that he was not
aboard, called to him.
The crew of the vessel and some of
the pilots hearing the noise made by
the man calling went on deck and Ian
terms were quickly secured and Il
search made for the body, which was
recovered about an hour afterwards
and placed on the wharf, later being
sent to an undertaking esta biishment
NeUmeier was one of the many Ger
man Immigrants who have recently
settled in the Perdido section. There
he purchased a farm and was very
successful Recently he decided TO
return to his home in Germany ard
leased his place for the sum of $15G
per year. and came to the city to re-
turn home About p week ago he was
offered a place on the pilot boat. which
he took, expecting to leave withiG u
month.

Ampere and the Donkey.

kind, but hot tempered, and occasional

County Commissioners
Should Publish Proceedings.

The unfortunate case of Chairman
Jas. NJ. Andrews, of the board OF
county commissioners, constitutes the
best possible vindication of the posi-
ton which The Journal has always
held regarding the publicity of county
commissioners proceedings.
We do not intend herein to pre-
Judge a case that has not yet been
heard in court, but Inasmuch as an
investigation of the affairs of Chair
man Andrews has resulted in his ar
rest and in the balance of the board
asking for his removal. we may prop
erly comment on a condition which
makes such a result possible.
For many years and particularly
for the past year, The Journal has
urged the necessity of a law which
will compel the county commission
ers TO publish a report of their pro-
ceedings. Nearly every state in the
union, with the exception of Florida,
has such a law, and it is a matter
of most peculiar import that the law
makers of this state have never
awakened to the necessity for it here.
Had it not been for the fact that
The Journal has been voluntarily
publishing a record of the commits
sioners' proceedings, it is not likely
that any irregularity on the part of
Commissioner Andrews would have
been discovered, or at least not for
a long time to come
County Attorney Reese, who also
represents the county in the legisla-
ture, should be we'll aware of the
necessity of this publicity law and he
is just the man to Immediately draft
a bill providing for the publication OF
the commissioners proceedings.
Let us not wait any longer TO give
the people of every county in the
state q chance to see where and how
their money is spent, who gets it, and
how much he gets. The people de-
mand a measure that will give them
this, protection.
No public servant is going to do
anything irregular when the full glare
of publicity is focused uDon him.

The Nomination of
Roosevelt by Bryan.

The recent address of john Temple
Graves, the gifted editor of The At
i1anta Georgian, before the Chat
tanooga Bryan Club, in which he sug-
! gested the nomination of President
Roosevelt by William ]. Bryan before
the next Democratic National Conven-
ton; has been criticised by Democrats
generally as the extreme of folly, and
condemned in unmeasured terms The

Now, this is what may be called

has been raging for some months.
We allude to what the Key West

time ago. We wish every port in the
state had a deep water harbor; it
would not injure Key West, and the
whole state would be benefited.

float at our docks any ship that

room enough to furnish them all

AcoLA, FLORIDA. WEDNESDAY MORNING APRIL H.

GOd-giVen; and then went out of bust
ness for good.
Mr. Ben Murphy has characterized
Graves idea as "dementia GeorgianG,"
and it is likely to stick. although
Graves is not all Georgia, nor get a
very material part of Atlanta. No
doubt, however, he represents the At
lanta hunger for something new, re-
gardless of effect and Atlanta. and
Georgia too, must suffer in reputation
because of his eccentTicity.
That is Georgia's affair, not ours.
The point we make is that for Bryan
TO nominate Roosevelt would De for
him To asSassinate the Democratic
party. Mr.. Graves has offered Mr..
Bryan the dagger, the which Mr.. Bryan
has gracefully and with a certain
amount of firmness refused.
That is probably the last appearance
of Mr.. Graves in serious role.
