THINGS HAVE CHANGED.


At one time many people thought that
a farm was fit only for the stupidest boy
in family. ALI the bright boys were
supposed to have too good a business or
professional head to be wasted in farm
ing, and they were sent to Ithe1city to
become, many of them, Indifferent bust
ness men aud lawyers. Now it is recOg-
nized that the old idea of happy-go-
lucky, or rule of thumb farming, is
wrong and that anyone who follows it
will invariably be at the tail end of the
procession. In truth, it requires brains
to run a farm, but the man who has
them and who has the disposition wins
ont and is the most independentiman in
existence, and he ought to be the most
cOntented Gainesville Sun.

The Savannah News takes notice and
says: FLORIDA is growing so fast that
the map makers are finding difficulty in
keeping up with the states progress.
So many towns have sprung up recently
that maps as much as five years old are

that new issres will shortly be neces-
sary."

The. late. United States Senator Car
mack Mn speaking Of the abolition Of the
saloon. once said: THE absurd conten-
ton is often made that the abolition of
the saloon would injuriously affect the
prosperity OF a community. There is
some arguments so repugnant to reason
that they dOynot need the refutation of
experience. Wealth is produced by the
hand and brain of man, and whatever
impsirs the effectiveness of both mind
and body is . destroyer Of wealth. The
tattered vagabonds wallowing in the
gutter add nothing to the prosperity of
9 community and neither does the man
who put them there"

BETTER OFF WITHOUT THE.SALOON.
Local option is a good thing for a
county, but statewide prohibition Is
immensely better for the state and for
all her people. Every state in the union
which has tried statewide prohibition
is immensely better off without the So
loon. The people are happier, there is
less crime, better times and all hanks
show larger eposits-DeLand Record.

If prohibition of the liquor traffic is
good for county, it will be good for
the state. Don't allow yourself caught
on the sDecious argument Of the whis-
key people who are now pleading SO elo-
quently for ''local option" The issue
is clear cut-saloons or no saloons in
Florida. If you vote against the amend
ment, you are voting for the saloons.
That is the long and the short of the
proposition.

If it is an abrldgment of the right Of
local self-government for q majority Of
the people of all the counties of the state
to say that there shall be no open sa-
looms in any of the counties of the state,
is it not also al abridgment of the same
right for the state legislature, composed
of representatives from all the counties.
to say that there shall not be race track
gambling and prize fighting in any Of
the counties? The doctrine of local
elf-goyernment was never intended to
protect one community in maintaining

Those engaged in the independent
movement to defeat John High, one of
the democratic nominees for representa-
tive from Hamilton county, claim in ex-
tenustion of their lnfidelity to the demo-
cratic party that Mr.. High is not dem
ocrat. This question was settled when
the democratic executive committee of
Hamilton county permitted Mr.. High to
enter the democratic primary. Mr..
High is the nominee of the democratic
party of Hamilton county and as such
should have the support of the party.

CONVINCING FIGURES.

Figures covering the consumption OF
intoxicants in New York City alone are
sufficient to convince one who reads
them that there is need for restricting
the whiskey traffic of the country. An
exchange furnishes the following fig
ures:
New York spends 1865, OOO,C a year,
81, 900, 900 day for drinks. 1t equals
nearly four times the annual output of
gold, $lOO, ZOO, 900. 1t is six times the
annual silver production, $50, 1000, 900.
1t is more than half the total assets of
all the building and loan associations of
the country, $500, 100000. The city's
drink money would pay twice the sal
aries of all the public school teachers in
the United States. There is one saloon
for every-thirty families.

les and at the meeting Of the West
Richmond Improvement association
on Friday evening. q committee was
appointed to investigate the possibili-
ties Of bringing several new factories
to that part of the city There is a
large amount Of available land for
manufacturing purposes.
The question OF boulevard along

Of Main street was discussed The
city administration probably will be
asked to take up this matter. The
members of the improvement asso.
citation are certain that the construc-
tion Of such q driveway would prove
one Of the best investments the city
could make. as 1t would practically
convert this territory into a park.

troubles at Robinson and Company.

In the witness chair. testifying be-
fore Mayor Zimmerman against Joe
Nets and Frank White. two union
strikers, whom he claimed. had pro.
voked him.
The cases In which Ward testified
were tried Wednesday. Ward was
placed on the stand as prosecuting
witness against Frank White. From
the first Wards attitude was sullen
and at times abusive toward the court
and attorneys. He was threatened
with jail sentences II he did not con-
duct himself properly and once was
fined 81 and costs for contempt of
court.
Ward continually volunteered in
formation and made several remarka-
BILE statements when on the stand.
Once he said that II he had had shot
gun he would have killed Metz and
White. when they angered him with
insults. White was not convicted on
the evidence furnished by Ward but
that furnished by Mrs. Ward who was
near at the time the alleged insults
were given.
The affidavit was sworn out by First
Sergeant. Edward McNally yesterday
and the defendant arrested at the
plant OF Robinson and Company where
he is employed as moulder. When
taken by Patrolman Vogelsong, Ward
said he guessed he was making more
money than the man who filed the af-
fidavit. He plead guilty this morning
and then paid his fine.
