Iu the navigation of the air
Germany leads all other nations.
An aerial line for the trauspor-
tation Of passengers has been
established between two of the
German cities with unpronounce
able names and several trips
have already been made with a
full cargo OF passengers carried
by tie great dirigible ship the
invention Of Count Zeppelin,
This ship has a length of more
than four hundred feet and it's
passenger car a breadth of more
than forty feet. Meals are
served the same as in a
Pullman car on the earth, The
distance between the two cities
is three hundred miles and the
trip is made in about nine hours,
while people are tumbling over
themselves for the privilege oi
becoming passengers at the cost
of twenty-five to fifty dollars
for the trip. Germany may be a
little ahead Of US now but il
won't take this country long to
catch up with her exa mple and
surpass it.

Political proguostlcators esti-
mate that the elections next
November will send 224 demo-
Gratis aud 1866 republicans to
Congress; that Champ Clark f
Missouri will be elected Speak
er, a new tariff bill enacted, and
that two years hence the demo
lcrats will not only capture the
presidency but the Senate as
we'll. 1t is devoutly to be hoped
that the prognostlcators b v e
prognosticated not in vain. We
have heard similar prognostica =
tions from time to time in the
years that have passed. We
agree with that part which
prognosticates L democ a c
House after the next election
and the election of Champ Clark
as Speaker will naturally fol-
low. We don't want to be a
pessimist-we won't be, indeed
we'll cheerfully agree that the
conditions for a full realization
OF all the cheerful prognostica-
tions above set forth are more
hopeful than they have been for
many, many years, but-well, a,
we hope they will be realized,

We have received the new
catalogue from the University
of Florida at Gainesville and are
glad to note the progress that is
being made. The attendance
was materially Increased during
the past year and it is evident
that our young meu are waking
up to the advantages offered
there. We note that the Uni
versity. has been reorganized in
to distinct colleges, comprising
those of Arts and Sciences, Law,
Agriculture and Engineering
The faculty and officers number
46. Two new buildings have
been added TO the campus this
year. This is our StateInstitutiou

The County Commissioners
Good Roads Association which
held it's annual session in Gaines
vile last week, made the fol-
lowing wise recommendations to
the forthcoming session, of the
Legislature which, if enacted in
to law, will result in inestima-
bic value of the people; First:
That the funds derived from the
hire of State convicts be paid
quarterly to the several counties
OF the State ia proportion 20
their assessed valuation. Second: !:
That all the funds thus paid to
the counties be used exclusively
by the commissioners for the
purpose of constructing hard
surfaced roads in said counties.
Third: That the above named
fund be used exclusively
for connecting with the main
line hard surfaced roads of ad-
joining counties, and all roads
thus constructed to be located
by the county commissioners of
their respective counties subject
to the approval of the Board of
Trustees of the Internal I'm
provement Fund. Fourth; That
the trustees furnish a competent
engineer aud road examiner to
assist the county commissioners
in laying out and locating roads
and securing suitable road ma
terials.

Prohibition" cannot be en-
forced" This is the cry of the
distiller, the brewer, the whole ..
sale dealer aud the saloon keep
er. The statement fiuds au echo
among the unthinking, says the
Palatka News. Who are the la W
breakers? Why these self-sa me
manufacturers and dealers. In
effect they say, 1--WE will not
obey the law" They are anar-
chists. Here is an example; The
sale of near beer" containing
one per cent. alcohol, is permit
ted in the dry counties of Flori-
da. Do these brewers obey this
law? Well, hardly. M ayor
Mathesou and Marshal Dell of
Gainesville recently purchased
a bottle of "near beer" 10 that
city which they took to a chemist
for analysis. 1t showed ~ per
cent. alcohol. The booze deal
ers do not intend to obey any
law that interferes with their
business. 1t is this attitude that
is making prohibitionists Of the

Madison's young boys are made oI
the proper stuff-that is good many
Of them are. With the closing Of school
a good many of the youngsters immed
lately sought employment, unwilling tc
"loaf" even after ten months of arduous
school duties. Some found employ
ment in stores, others ID offices while
some could find 20 work In any line
which they would naturally have pre-
terred. Nothing dsunted. however
they declined to be idle simply because
they could not get employment such al
they preferred, but went forth with a
determination to take anything they
could get with the result that gang
OF them are employed mixing mortar
rolling brick and doing anything else
they can get to do around the buildings

hideous object which meets the

Upon this hypothesis we are
hupin e that the completed

depot will prove both attractive
to the eye and comfortable to
humanity, but if the framework
of the structure as we viewed it
Il few days ago doesn't develop
a better and better looking

North Carolina has recently float
ed a bond issue of several million
dollars, and it was all taken by North
Carolina capitalist. That spoke we'll
for the prosperity Of the State and
of the faith of it's own people in its
good faith. An effort has been
made by outside spectators to pre-
iudice the credit Of the State be-
cause it would not acknowledge its
responsibility for bonds issued in its
name and without authority; but as
long as the North Carolinians be-
lieve in themselves they can take

STRUGGLING FOR A JOB.
Lofty Aims Morals Do Not Fulfill All
Requiem llts.

Baccalaureate sermons in these
days differ from those in the olden
times when the college president
was inevitably a clergyman In the
earlier era these sermons We're ideal
istic and religious in tone, whereas
those of the present Gay by laymen
are intensely practical. Fifty such
sermons were preached last Sunday,
and in the leading institutions
most OF the advice given to the
men about to close their academic
career was of the sort which might
in these days be called pragmatic.
The struggle for existence grows
fiercel' each year. Tie law OF the
survival of the fittest constantly
weeds out incompetents from what
ever cause delinquency arise. 1t
unfortunately happens that high
character, lofty aim, and good NOR
ais do not fulfill all the requirements
for success in these days. The young
man must either have a pull, an in
heritance, Or else his career is to be
one Of struggle. 1t is 100 much the
opinion in these days that struggle
is to be avoided. Young men perfer
fowery beds of ease u fighting for
the prizes Of life, yet one needs |
only to glance curiouSly at history
to see that great character and fine |
achievement seldom came except af-
ter the most bitter contest in the
face of the greatest obstacles.
Young graduates of this month
are seeking careers, and not all of
them are likely to have the best at
titude toward life, Those who go
out looking for easy berths at large
salaries are likely to be disappointed.
Those who get them are apt to be
losers. 1t is commonly claimed
as grievous fault in our colleges
that the atmosphere is not calcu-
lated to give the young man a good
perspected Of life, that he emerges
from academic groves with an in
tellectual strabismus. This is true
to large extent. Unless the mental
training of the four years at college
has given young men an adaptability,

in college halls is only door Of OPP
It neither makes nor

Of the 10000 graduates this year

DR.. B. L. Griffin has received a
supply of hog cholera serum, which
has only recently been released from
the laboratory. This is the first Sc
rum of this kind ever introduced in
this section. On account of the large
number of hogs that died in this
county last year DR.. Griffin has been
giving this disease special attention
and on reading in one of the medical
journals where this serum had been
used in a number of places with the
best of results he Immediately order
ed supply. DR.. Griffin vaccinated
ten hogs this morning belonging to
Brown Bros. The serum is injected
hypodermically in the leg of a hog
and IS used as preventative of this
dreaded disease. It is endorsed by
some of the leading veterinarians of
this country as a most reliable re-
medy for the prevention Of cholera
and reports from different sections,
where it has been used state that
the very best results have been OBJ
