to avoid confusion the city has To-
cal time Of its own, which is half
way between the two. But what
really adds to the complicated stu
ton is. the fact that farmers in the
surrounding country nearby all use
sun" time, which Is different from
all the others. This last named time
Is controlled by the almanac that Is

Letter from
C. C. Carlton
To the patrons and friends Of Lees
burg public school:

To the patrons and friends Of Lees
burg public school:
AS assume the duties devolving
upon me asprincipal Of your school,
am glad to know that there are
many people here who believe in
tho public school, who believe that
every child in the community has a
right to the opportunity Of making
out Of himself the best possible
man. Jails and penitentiaries con-
tain many boy who hasn't had q
fair chance, or who has been led to
believe that character aud moral
stamina are mere mental acquire
nents--the frills Of a successful
life. Jails and schools both seem
to be necessary in this age Of ours,
and it is my firm conviction that
the neglect Of our schools, the pub
lie school, will fill our jails. II the
efficiency and standard Of teaching
is lessened or lowered by the cm-
plOyment Of teachers whose heart
Is not in the work, the police
force viii have to be increased.
I'm very sure that it is a thousand
times better to employ teachers than
to be compelled to employ police
men. Refractory boys make law
breaking men unless regeneration
take place.
Some one has said that il you
empty your purse into your child
rcn'S heads rather than contribute
it to heighten their conceit and love.
Of show and shinc,'' you serve
your day and generation in a way
most beneficial and one that will
never be regretted. An education
that brings a boy or girl into con-
tact with his ideal, is by far the
richest legacy you can leave him.
What misft it is, and what a
tragedy for one never to find his
place in lifel The money you may
leave him can be snatched away in
the twinkling Of an eye, and he be
left helpless on the wayside of life, !
but il You have given him an edu-
cation, he has that which enables
him to contend with the nntrIed
successfully, and win success and be |
useful by dint Of his own energy.
We want the cooperation and
help Of every father, mother and
friend in the community. Send
your children to school every day. |
We promise TO give you the very
best service in our power, and to dol
our duty with your children placed
in our charge. We extend to each
and to all cordial invitation to .
visit the school room and see what
is being done there, and shall ex-
pect you to do so. Any day of the
week, and any hour Of the day you
are perfectly welcome to come.
There will be no star chamber scs-
sions.
Yours very truly,
G. G. CARLTON,
Principal.

Jack Johnson is doing some OF ms
speeding along the park bouleVards
behind Little Dick, a local PAGER Which
has been loaHed him for the occasion
by one of his friends.
The idea came to the fighter When
one of the newspaper photographers
saw the rig in front of the training
quarters and suggested that he Would
like picture or two. Johnson agreed
to the picture idea, and after that was
over remarked that he would like to
take a turn up the road. go ahead,

intention of going out behind the slde
wheeler three times week at the
very least.
Il want to tell you. Mr. Rickard," :"
he said, when Rickard was warning
the negro not to be so careless, that S
all mistake about my being reckless.
7 know what this fight means to me,
and when | am training for fight
there is no one more caretul tnan
am. Of course, I am going to ride
around in my machine because it's a
pleasure. but there will be nothing
reckless about my driving, and you Will
have no reason to be worried over me.
The routine of a tWeiVe-mile grind
along the roads in the forenoon may
not be appealing to Johnson, but 1t has
been sufficiently monotonous for the
fighter to change his route. This morn
ing. for example, he took Barney Furey
with him over an entirely new course
and one in which there are far more
hills than in the old course.
For one thing, 1 wanted change
said johnson, in explaining the new
program, land for another, I wanted
to test my wind thoroughly. The hills
gave me that chance, and now I am
sure of my condition. My wind was
the one thing that 1 had an idea might
need nursing. but I came back to the
quarters after a twelve-mile trip with
out blowing in the least"
About the noon hour Johnson took
a nap. and late in the afternoon, along
about 4 o'clock, he played baseball for
the edifcation of the crowd that had
gathered to see what he looked like.
