Future of Broward,

Owing TO the prominence he has
gained throughout Florida and Other
States Of the Union during bis four
year term of office, there Is much
speculation as to what business Gov
n. B. Broward will enter upon after
his administration ends, says the
Jacksonville Metropolis OF Mon
day.
Although nothing definite has been
made public on the subject, it is be-
lieved that Governor Broward will
be connected with the drainage Of
the Everglades In an important
capacity. lowing to the fact that
the Governor inaugrrated the gigan-
tic movement for draining the Ever
glades, and has fought for its success
throughout his term OF office" said
one Of his strongest admirers to a
Metropolis representative, II be-
lieve the Internal Improvement
Board will appoint him superintend.
ent Of drainage work, that is if he
will accept the position. He is be-
yond doubt the best man who could
possibly be secured for this work,
which has been bis hobby for many
years ,and l sincerely hope he will as
sumo charge o: future operations.
That the work will be continued, q,
owing TO the requirements of con-
tracts under which immense tracts
Of land have been sold, there is no
doubt. That successful completion
Of the work will eventually bring
millions Of dollars into the State,
also seems TO be a foycgone conclu
sion and even those who fought the
scheme most vigorously now realize
this to be fact"

them over the warships in the har-

buildings Of tue Bank of Italy,

Firemen with the aid of sailors
controlled the flames and the money

Many of the tottering walls fell,

There has been a score of tremors

The chief benefit derived from this

which on the opening day Of school
was named by the Board Of Control
"Bryan Hall" in honOr Of the la e

mgnt WIS greatly increased and we

interesting lecture to the faculty and
The student body, on the preservs-
ton of forests, which was greatly

The scientific excursions which
are being conducted by Prof Nc
Neil and Miss Gano are becoming
very popular with the students. The
weather has been very favorable for
these excursions, and many useful
specimens have been collected.

be organized and will be under the
efficient direction Of Miss GaHo who
has a Masters Degree from Cornell

Miss Dalzell, the competent in

NAIL ORDER HOUSE VS.. HOME
MERCHANT.
Organization the Country Merchants
Best Defense.

A large mail order house has re-
ported to stockholders that it's sales
during the six months ending De-
cember 81. last, amounted to almost
twenty-five million dollars, on which
it made a net profit slightly exceed
ing two million three hundred thou
sand dollars. The net profit, then
all in cash-amounted to a little more
than ten per cent of the sales. 1t
seems to have amounted to a little
more than twenty per cent on the
concerns capital, or at the rate of
forty per cent a year.
The country merchant thinks the
business of the mail-order house is
done at his expense. Probably that
view is not wholly sound. Probably
new facilities for trading tend to
create trade. Undoubtedly, however,
the country merchant does find that
considerable business, which would
otherwise come to him, now goes to
the mail-order house, and the loss
concerns him all the more because
that is a strictly cash business. The
city house still permits him to do the
credit business with all the good will
in the world.
The margin of profit mentioned
above is a very good one. A net re-
sidum, in cash, of ten per cent of
gross sales would probably be consid-
cred satisfactory by most retailers.
Organization is, in the opinion of
many, the country merchants best
defense against the mail-order house
There is already sufficient organiza-
ton to exert, for example, effective
opposition to comprehensive par
cells post. But that, after all, is mere
ly obstructive. Organization for CO.
operative buying looks more promis-
ing.-Saturday Evening Post.
