INJUSTICE TO ar. HOLLOWAY.

Several OF our State exchanges have
INDUCED iu undue criticism VI State
Supt. ". NJ. Holloway for his procla-
nation regarding the maud In the
June examinations praCtised by re
gro teachers who made use OF papers
which had been stolen. The sun teels
quite confident that IL the editors
who have INDUCED in these criticisms
were as well acquainted with the
facts as We are. they would have a,
least been more lenient.
Some OF the negroes implicated are
those In whom Supt. Holloway and
his predecessors had heretofore re.
posed the most confidence and the evil
dence elected at the investigation In
Gainesville was sufficient to cause
Prof. Holloway to lose confidence in
every negro engaged In the profess
sion % teaching. The Sun feels that
Prof. Holloway was fully justified In
issuing his Big Stick" proclamation,
for the rascally methods practised by
certain negroes In Alachua and Duyal
counties in the June examination was
sufficient to exhaust the patience OF
any man.

Borneo Inviting to NaturaIIsts.

There is no country In the world
more inviting to the naturalist than
Borneo. Here are found the flying
squirrels, flying foxes, flying lizards,
flying frogs, and the natives report
flying snakes. Among the noted birds
is the little swift Collocalia Nidifica.
Their nests are eaten by the Chinese,
and are regarded as great luxury.
These birds build their nests in lime
stone caves of a glutinous saliva
which they produce from their glands.
no sticks or any other foreign sub
stances are used. The collection OF
these nests is an important Industry
with the natives, though they pay a
tax on all they take to market. The
value Of those exported from British
North Borneo In 1907 was $35,924.
They are served at the great feasts OF
the Chinese, especially at Weddings
