WANTED TO HEAR THE REBEL YELL


The venerable widow of Admiral
Raphael Semmes, at Confederate
reunion in Memphis, expressed a de-
sire to hear the rebel yell" To
give an idea of it, and to snow how
impossible it is to reproduce it now.
Kellar Anderson, himself gallant
member of the Fifth Kentucky infan-

The Meeting
Of Teachers Association.

IL is true that the gathering of the
teachers of the state in annual con
vention at Gainesville ON the 18th of
this month will be darkened by a re-
cent decision of the supreme court.
This decision declared demonstrations
al the law of 1905 which provided
much needed appropriations for the
schools. But the event viii be, as it
always has been. one of distinct i'm
Dortance in the annual history of
Florida. For these interchanges of
views between those in whose hands
rests the momentous task OF bringing
to ripe ffuition the minds of the
growing generation are most import
ant and. fraught with highly signifi
cant results.
The decision of the court alluded TO
is indeed great blow. For il there IS
any cause that calls for extreme liber-
ality on the part OF the state it is the
thorough education of those on whom
will rest its ftrture-its moral, intel-
1ectual and physical development.
Nevertheless We are compelled to sub
init TO the highest judicial body of the
commonwealth, especially in the pres
ent instance; for the act upset was
clearly in violation of the states fun,
damental law. as it provided for an
unequal distribution of the school
fund.
The most lamentable part of the
whole matter is that snch a bill
should have been considered and pass
ed without a discovery of its ineffi-
-cacy. It accentuates the Importance
of strict censorship of all Legislative
measures by lawyers of the highest
ability; for the adoption of such
measures generally ends in creating
The Journal wishes for the teachers's
association a harmonious and fruitful

will come before it. The association

those that come within the province
OF the states religious bodies. No
doubt each member will be fully alive
TO this significant fact and will be &C
tuated by a high sense of duty and a
commendable self abosement in the
discussion of every subject.
In closing, The Journal would again
urge the claims OF Mariana as the
next meeting place of the association.
The city is well situated, has. a com
modious hall for the comfortable ac-
commodation of the convention and is
anxious TO display TO the teachers

Good Roads the
Overshadowing Issue.

The question of good roads still
stands as the foremost demanding the
attention OF the people of every state
OF the Union Especially is this true
with respect to Florida where there are
vast tracts yet unreached by railroads
and where the distance to the nearest
station Is many, many miles. And
these miles are often long stretches of
