RAIL FENCE PHILOSOPHY

Twenty-Five cents earned is more
valuable than a dollar found.
You cannot drown your troubles.
They succumb only to continued
drought
Too often when reproving our chill
dren we forget how much their pa
rents are to blame.
Fortune is said to knock once at
every mans door, but some men are
just naturally hard of hearing.
The real profits of the farm are
more often made by the foresight of
the business farmer than by hard
knocks.
The most uncharitable man is the
one who has never tried and failed.
His judgment of the mistakes of 9TH
ers is invariably harsh and unjust.
With needless recklessness some
people strive to see how near the
edge of moral precipice they can go
without tumbling over. This may be
brave, but it is not wisdom.

GILLETTE IN THE RIGHT PLACE

In electing Myron E. Gillette as
general manager of the exchange, the
board of directors again showed their
wisdom, for Mr.. Gillette is not only
one of the most experienced fruit
growers and nurserymen in the state,
but he is a business man of such force
and ability as to be able to handle any
proposition put up to him, and such
men will be needed from now on, says
the Tampa Times. DR.. Peacock Of
Winter Haven, will also make a most
excellent cashier. The orange grow
er who refuses to follow the lead of
such men as Inman, Gray, Sample,
Gillette, Palmer, Burton and others is
certainly a has-been of the archaics
age. Such antiquities are not needed
as members of the exchange.-Pro-

THE NEGRO PREACHER ELO-
QUENT

Some time ago a white attendant at
negro revival in Atlanta, Georgia,
was so moved by the untutored elO-
Quence of one of the eXhorterS, that
he seized pencil and paper and rapid
ly set down the concluding sentences
of the harangue. 1t is, indeed, well
worthy of preservation. The print
tive imagination of the negro preach
er rose to genuine sublimity as he
bent over his quivering hearers to
make them see the appalling horrors
of the Day of Judgment. The very
quaintness of his dialect gave power
to the bold and daring rhetoric of his
words. What he said is full of fire
and splendid unrestraint. 1t is more
than MiltOnic. 1t is absolutely acpO-
calyptic, and produces the same effect
as some of those unearthly, striking
passages in the Book of Revelations:
ooh, me! What you gwine ter do
wen you see de debbil comm in a
nailstOrm, drivin' a par OBJ white
bosses, wild de lightnin' fer reins, en-
de thunder barkin' lax a houn' dog at

takin the roun' worr in his two hans

slant, wat you gwine ter do, en- vhar

Governor Fort said in part:
mo public official who does his

a whole the newspapers of our state
are remarkably independent. They
are not, with very few exceptions,

fast passing off the scene of action.
This is one of the hopeful signs of
the times.

necessary to the public life and bus

way of reaching the people. If the

INFLUENCE OF LOCAL EDITORS
Arthur Brisbane Credits Them With
Great Power

In a recent editorial on the income
tax. Arthur Brisbane, editor of the
New York Evening Journal, has the
following to say about the influence
of the country paper:
The vrters individually can do
much by writing to the members OF
the legislature. But the local editors
throughout the country can do most
of ALL
There are thousands of daily and
weekly newspapers published through
out the United States in small cities,
towns and villages. They are edited
by men who influence public opinion
far more than the few metropolitan
newspapers possibly can do.
These editors and their newspapers
public thought. Upon them
depends really the success or failure
of this effort to incorporate the in
come tax principle in the constitution
of the United States.
This newspaper and all of its allied
throughout the country
have worked for years persistently
for the income tax and will continue
to work for that just tax. But the
victory will be accomplished in the
end by the great number of local
editors writing daily in
close touch with the people, influence
ing strongly the legislator, possessing
the confidence of readers.
