such an unusual interest in the at
tempt to keep Pensacola wet 1t may
serve to identify him in the public
mind when we impart the information
that he is the father-in-law of Mr.. N.
Goldring. That is who he is. Why
he is, may be readily seen VIII IN it is
further explained that Son-in-law
Goldring is the proprietor of five bar
rooms, commonly called dives, In
Pensacola, and claims to be Pensa-
cola's biggest shipper Of whiskey into
those counties which have made II a
crime for Son-in-law Goldring to DO
there what he does with impunity
here.
knowing now who he is and why
he is, it ought to be reasonably plain
what Mr.. Goldstuker,s motive Is.
With Prohibition in Escambia county,
Son-in-law Goldring's five bar rooms,
commonly called dives, would have to
close up, and Father-in-law Cold
stuker's moral activities would be
confined to women's dress reform ana
the adjustment of marital misunder-
standings. Is his motive plain now?
I'VE do not care to discuss with him
the question of how mucn a gallon OF
whiskey is worth or whether Son-in-
law GOIuring's customers pay him so
per cent. or IS per cent profit Either
is bad enough We know nothing
about that phase of the business. We
did state that Pensacola sent at least
$3.50, 10000 annually to the brewers
and distillers in other states, and il
rather-in-law GOldStuker wants to in
crease that amount, to $685. 10000, it
simply makes it that much worse, and
he ought to know of course what he
is talking about"

Ottowa, Ont, Sept. 21.-S. w. Will
fred Laurier, premier of Canada, has
sent a letter to Alphonse Verville, NJ.
P, in response to a request Of the
Dominion Trade and Labor Congress
that notice be given of abrogations OF
the Japanese treaty, and that impor-
tations will be restricted to the Origi-
nal agreement, citing the advantage
to be gained by Canadian producers
through the treaty in increased Japan
csc trade and that the treaty was
ratified unanimously by the Canadian
parliament.
The premier says: You base your
appeal for denunciation of the treaty
on the allegation that crisis has arisen
in British Columbia by reason of an
unprecedente influx of Japanese.
While it is true that most regrettable
incidents have lately occurred in Van
couver, there seems reason to doubt
that the cause was the influx of Japan

Noting that the disturbances were
against Asiatics generally, rather
than Japanese, distructiyely, the pre-

Richmond, Ind, Sept. 21.-That
Turner Igo killed Governor Goebel OF

alleged by Mrs. Lula Clark, nee Will

Mrs. Clark says she and her cousin,
Gertrude King, who at that time

Frankfort the day Goebel was shot;
that Immediately after the shooting
they noticed a man just inside door

MISAPPREHENSION AS TO
FLORIDA STATE FINANCES
1t Arose From the Fact That the Legislature Appropriate
ed More Money Than the Revenues Provided, But the
Various Funds Are in Healthy condition and the Treas
ury Such Reflects Credit on the State.

600 annually, the quarterly disburse-
ment being about $4,000
The last session provided for a
more liberal pension system and au-
thorized a four mill tax levy to meet
the additional expenditure in this
direction.
Not only were the amounts of the
pensions Increased but under the
new law a great number of veterans
were made eligible to receive pensions
who were not previously eligible.
This has resulted in great increase
of the pension roll and all the re-
turns have not yet been recorded -
is sufficient to say that the increase
will amount to more than the increase
made in the tax levy allowance, and
before the end of the next year there
is every prospect that the pension
fund will show a deficit This is cas-
lily calculable, for the law makers
made provision for only an increase
of 25 per cent and the number of
pensions allowed will go beyond that
figure, probably, to say nothing of the
increased allowance for total disabil-
ity and other causes.
Other Funds.
The other funds while in the treas
ury are not aVamable for the payment
of appropriations. and although the
State is very well financially, the
fiduciary system is such that none of
these funds can be legally touched.
and the general revenue fund which
faces deficit must bear the brunt
of thoughtless legislation While the
oax for general revenue purposes was
increased from 1 1-2 mills to mills.
and while there will be an increase
in the taxable vaues probably be-
tween three and five millions running

Tallahassee. Fla, Sept. 21-The
recent publicity given the fact that
the last session of the legislature APP
propriated more money than was pro-
Yided for by the tax levy has given
rise to the conclusion on the part
of many that there is little or no
money in the State treasury. If such
is the status of the public mind 1t
should be corrected, and the latest
report of the state treasurer should
set at rest any such report.
The plain truth is that few states are
in such good financial condition as
Florida. The states bonded Indebted
ness amounts to little more than $780,
600 and there is now in the treasury
upwards of 100000 which amount is
ample to insure the STATE from a con-
dition of impecuniOusness.
The condition arises from the fact
that all appropriations for special
purposes not provided for by a spec
ial levy must be paid out of the gem
eral revenue fund and that fund has
in it at present, to be accurate $1S,
547.29.
The major portion of the total
amount in the treasury is constitu-
ted in the pension tax fund which APP
pears on the ITedSuTeIS report dl Iae
figure of 1888, 10S.39. But as large
as this may appear it is not in excess
of the demand which will be made on
it within the next few months.
Pensions.
The pensions to Confederate veter-
ans are paid once each quarter. Up
to the action OF the last legislature
the levy for this purpose was three
mills, and there were $500 pension
ers on the rolls receiving an approx
mate amount in the aggregate of $780,

In announcing as a candidate

Supt. of Education of Oktibbeha
county, [ desire to say that since
[ came in office, the school term
has been lengthened;the salaries
of 1st grade teachers have been
increased j; healthier schoo
sentiment has beeen created; and
school houses have been improv-
ed; patent seats have been put
into 90 rural schools; IL new
school houses have been built;
Is more has been ceiled and made
comfortable; most of the teach
ers have responded to the pro-
gressive movement. and are
reading school journals; works
on Pedagogy, and attending Nor
mails, Institutes and Teachers
Associations as never before.
Though this work has been done
in the past four years, l feel sure
that I can do even more in the
next four years, as many patrons
who had little, or no confidence
in my appeals and efforts, will
now assist in the progressive
movement.
It has been one of the strong
principles of Democracy, espec-
ALLY in Mississippi, to endorse all

publications in the South, and
exists for the farmer and the far

ative to the series Of farmers
institutes which are to be expect
ed this summer, which is of gen.

THE good work done in the
line of farmers institutes IN Mis-
siss,ppi last year will be carried
to greater success this year.
The work is sYatematized for ef-
ficient results, and it only re-
mains for the farmers to show
their interest by putting in ap-
plications in their localities. The
regular institute season opens
July Is, but there can be no bet
ter time than the present for
sending in requests for Institutes
when the season does open. Rrof.
E. r. Lloyd, Agricultural College,
Mississippi, has charge of the
work, and all requests should be
sent to him direct, SO that places
and dates for Institutes can be
agreed on to the best satisfaction
of all concerned The methods
of farming are changing fast
among the most successful farm
ers. and this life is too short for
a man to struggle along without
the experience of others as a
guide. Institutes give free OF
cost such experience and enable
those who attend to ask ques-
tions on problems that are both
ering them" - Franklin Advo-

1
SOW ten acres half wheat and
half daisy mixed? d? And what'll
the crop be worth
We don't know what daisy seed
costs, nor how bulky it is; we
suspect half daisy and half wheat
would make big crop of daises,
and last long time; the wheat
might be short.
The parable throws some light
on the cost Of a paint half white
wash. Whitewash mixed half
and-half with paint, is all paint
in look and feel, indeed nine ten
tbs of the ''paint" in stores is
half whitewash; fome half; some
more; some less.
Paint has to be spread with the
brush, the surface prepared, the
ladders scaffolds pulleys and
ropes arranged and moved, there
is a great deal of labor in putting
paint on; it costs from 50 to $3 a
gallon to do it.
What does it cost to paint
whitewash? Just the same. Half
whitewash? Just the same. 1t
dosen't seem to be worth while,
whitewash does harm, not good.
Will the paint hold the white
wash fast ? or the whitew ash
loosen the paint
