THINK OVER THIS.

4 SThere has been had for some years
In most of the Southern States, ar
inspection of the textbooks used in
public schools. The result has been
that Northern publishers have been
compelled to eliminate from these
books much matter of a sectional
character that distorted facts and was
working serious harm to the minds
OF Southern children. There seem
.still to be certain localities where
these false teaching books have been
, retained, through carelessness or in
advertenance; but We hope she day
is not far distant when they will be
utterly cast out from the land.
While, as We said, much of the
Objectionable matter has been eIimin-
ated. most certainly all has not,
especially in the histories. WE MUST
GO FURTHER. The question is what
is to be done to absolutely insure
southern children a true knowledge
OF the course adopted by this section
OF the country in the great political
problems that have arisen, as we'll as
just understanding of the South
land itself from agricultural and in
dustriaI standpoints. and the charac-
ter of the Southern people. ="
The best. the safest, the most GER
tain way to aecompanish this vital
purpose is TO ESTABLISH A PRINT
ING HOUSE IN THE SOUTH capable
of publishing such books as We need.
These books. carefully edited by
Southern men of letters. would be
entirely free of all the Objectionable
matter now injected into them, one
way or another. by influences con-
trolling their publication in the
North.
Let the press of the South take this
matter up and advertise its import
ance in the most insistent manner.

basiness. The nan from Chicago
should get it if be can. Bas should the
citizen of st. Petersburg give him
that business? There comes the
doubt. Chicago buys oranges from
St. Petersburg and Chicago people
visit St. Petersburg why should not
st. Petersburg deal with Chicago?
The Independent says the money
sent to Chicago is lost forever to St.
Petersburg; not if st. Petersburg
gets what it orders with good judg-
ment. But the Independent returns
to st. Petersburg five dollars for every
dollar st. Petersburg pays it-there
can be no doubt that the newspapers
of a town largely make the town and
maintain its business and this is
especially true in Florida. The first
want of town is a newspaper, but 1t
is unfortunately true that as soon as
the newspaper comes it is made a
public servant with lots OF work and
very little pay. The policy that
would starve local paper by deny
ing it business to save a few cents
on prices is very penny-wise-and-
poundfolish-one which is best appre-
ciated by a town after it loses the
paper or sees 1t become disreputable
for lack of money to keep up its good
work. Even the church sometimes
staryes. her ministers and turns of

would do any town credit; let st.
Petersburg between how it deals with
Chicago. The metropolitan centers
can supply other papers. for the
money, but which one of them would
duplicate the work for st. Peters
burg now done by the Independent?

A RICH MANS AMBITION.

The New York papers have given
much attention to the sudden death
of James Henry Smith, known to
some extent in that city as Silent
Smith. The interest of the foregoing
papers is due to the immense fortune
Mr.. Smith had, and to the fact that
when he came into his wealth he at
once developed an ambition to be a
society leader Before that time he
was known in New York to compare
lively few people. His name never
appeared in the newspapers, and the
only chance of its getting there de-
pended upon his death or an accident
of some sort.
His fortune came from his uncle,
and was about s50,OOO,OO0. 1t is
stated that it is 100000, 900 now.
The world was made aware of his
existence when it became known that
he had come into the possession OF
such an enormous fortune. The fact
that his uncle was millionaire many
times over was known to only a few
old crOnies. This uncle lived in Lon
don, and his total expense, it was
stated at the time of his death, were
not much, if any, beyond $4,000 a
year. His chief JOY was to accumu-
late. His fortune had been made in
Chicago in real estate and banking.
James henry Smith couldn't re-
main unknown with all of that
wealth The four hundred wanted
him and they set out to capture him,
and Mr.. Smith. as already stated, was
willing. The four hundred wanted
to be entertained and he could afford
to entertain. Besides, Mr.. Smith
thirsted for social prominence.
Society got what it wanted and Mr..
Smith was put in the front rank of
the smart set. He entertained lavish
iy as bachelor, living as he did in
the great mansion that had been the
home of the late William c. Whit
ney. Then Mr. Smith took a notion
to get married, the lady of his choice
being divorced wife of prominent
society man. The marriage took place
in Scotland and Mr.. Smiths death
occurred in Japan few months after.
the wedding ceremony.
He may have got great satisfaction
out of his wealth, but it is certain
that he didn't live long to enjoy it.
1t may be that if he had continued to
live moderately, to live as he, did
when ne was comparatively poor
and unknown man. he might new be
alive: 1t wouldn't be surprising if
the pace is what carried him OF. 1t
