Duval Commissioner Figures

The Jacksonville Metropolis receiv-
ed the following signed comment to-
day from County Commissioner Bene
dict. on the recent murders in this
city:
To the Editor of The Metropolis.
The recent deplorable murders com
mitted in our city, if investigated. can
no doubt be traced to. bad and IN
comfortable temper" My parents laid
particular stress to beat out any bad
temper displayed in early childhood
As result of that training | Otter
conquered by controlling my temper
An uncomfortable temper" Otter
termed temporary insanity" has
caused many tragedies, but recolleC;
that form of insanity did not result in
suicide, but the death of a victim
The absence of a religious training
in early life has also something TO dc
with men who become muTdeTeTS
Occasionally a homicide is connected
with whiskey While such cases exist
still. the bad temper has more to dc
with it-surely a good topic for min
listers to preach on
Many homes are just the contrary
of what they ought 10 be, only fOl
the existence Of high temper on the
part of one or the other heads of the
family Some OF the children will in
herit that fault beyond a question
Every time a murder is committed
in Duval county il means an expense
TO the taxpayers of from $50 TO 81 600

Long Service of Late Arch
deacon Will Be Fittingly
COMMUNICATED.
Special to The Journal.

Tallahassee. July 3O-A committee
has recently been formed to arrange
for the erection of a memorial TO the
late w. II. Carter, DID,, LID, rector
of St Johns parish, and archdeacOn
of middle Florida The committee Is
composed of a large number of church
men of Tallahassee and elsewhere,
who knew, and admired the deceased
minister. and are DESTROYS that his
long and devoted service should be
fittingly acknowledged and ccmmemo-
rated.
Through the inStrumentality o. the
present rector, Archdeacon q. h.
Goodwin, aided by the vestry, the
movement is now being placed before
the public, and contributions from
those who are interested are being
received by the treasurer, B. &. Whit
field, of the First National Bank, at
Tallahassee. The memorial Will take
the form of a parish house which Will
be annexed to the church by extend
ing the north tranSept. In design it
will harmonic with the architecture
of the church, being ornamented with
two Gothic windows on each side of
the front entrance. TaIlahassee's ar
chitect, F. c. Gilmore, has already
prepared plans and specifications at
an estimated cost of $4,000 The
name OF this nail will be the Garter
Memorial Hail." and 1t Will be used
for all the usual purposes OF a parish
house.
Dr. CarteT's work was not confined
to the parish which he served so faith
fully and loved so well for twenty
He was honored as one of the first
among his fellow laborers, and by ex-
ample and counsel did much 10 fur
no in ri Tfc nF
the diocese. Consequently, the whole
of Florida will doubtless feel a per-
sonal interest in seeing that the pro-
posed design of the committee is car
ried out, and the memory of a great
and good man peTpetuated in the
minds of coming generations
