Paint the
School Houses White.

About nine miles below Andalusia.
on the Florala road, there's a little
school house nesting among the pines.
II has been painted snowy white.
Somebody's got the right idea. 1t
looks good to us. Perhaps it would
look good to you. Don't you think our
rural school houses should be painted =?
Try 1t and see how much better they
look.-Andalusia Star.
The Star is on the right subject, all
right. The school houses should all be
painted. and, painted a cheerful color.
Up until the time F. E. Brawner be-
came chairman Of the Escambia coun-
" board of public instruction it was
G 1tomary to paint the school build
tngs in this county red. Mr.. Brawner
however, has insisted that the build
fngs be painted a bright, or white
color, and his idea is one which meets
with popular approval.

inviting thing that appeals to them.
and everything should be done to make
them care to attend school. and an in

way toward this end.
Not alone ought the buildings e. :,
cheerful and inviting. but the annaar-
ance OF the grounds should have moro
attention than has been customary
and while the school board may nor
have the funds at this time the pupiIs

Some Of the state papers are taking
fling at Mr.. Gaulding, of Tallahassee
who has congressional aspirations. sey-
Ing that they have never heard of him
This is not to Mr.. GaVlding's discredit
however, for he has been a close at
tendant on business, and, we under
stand, he has been very successful as
merchant. The Journals impression
is that Mr.. Gaulding came from Geor-
gia to Havana, where he engaged in
the mercantile business and from there
he went to Tallahassee and became a
wholesale grocer, making a success Of
the business until it was destroyed by
fire some few months ago. Mr.
Gaulding bears a good reputation and
is well thought of by those who know
him, but he is unquestionably overesti-
mating the friendship of 81 few when
he becomes q candidate for congress
sional honors.

enough to take up the work them
serves and try to make their grounds
look better than the grounds Of any
other school in the county.
Inc grounds Of some Of the rural
schools are nothing more than sand
beds and they present a very filthy
appearance and this kind Of yard with
dingy building is enough to make
the child's mind become the same way.
Other rural schools have welI-kept.
green lawns and flower beds that the
pupils take a great deal OF pride in.
Both kinds are seen throughout West
Florida.
1t is the duty Of the parents and the
school boards to surround the pupils
with bright and cheerful conditions.
The school rooms and the grounds
ought to just as nice as the homes
are.

Champ Clark
Compliments Insurgents.

Champ Clark's tribute to the insur-
gent Republicans at the close of the
extra session was a most timely one
and while it came from the sincere
desire to give praise where praise was
due it was possibly one of the best
political speeches he could have made
The extra session was a crucial
period for the insurgents and 1t re
quired real men with conviction to
stand by their guns and fight shoulder
to shoulder with the Democrats In the
fight for the people against the special
interests.
1t is but human for the insurgents
to appreciate such words of common
dation, and when it is remembered
that the members of the standpat or
ganization have abused the insurgents
at every opportunity, it is not unrea-
sonable to suppose that when it comes
to selecting a good progressive Demo
crat or staunch standpat Republican
for president the insurgents will take
the Democrat.

FRIDAY. OCTOBER 10. 1911.
May Make the L. & N.
Tote Fair.

On the goth of next month the IN
terstate Commerce Commission will
take testimony in Mobile to determine
whether railroads having seaport ter
minals and docking facilities may re-
fuse tramp steamers and other lines Of
steamers not having contracts with
the railroads the privilege of docking
at the railroad wharves.
The investigation is based on a Mo-
bile Chamber of Commerce complaint
that the Mobile and Ohio and the
Southern Railway refused to shippers
shipside freight without switching
charges to other docks than those
which they control. This regulation
prevented tramp steamers from TAX
ing cargoes and eliminated the compe-
tition of lines of steamers which have
no through rate arrangements with the
defendant railways.
Mobile alone is not interested in the
outcome Of the ruling by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, for if it decides
that the railroad companies must al
low tramp steamers to dock then Pen
sacola and many other gulf and Atlantic
ports will be materially benefited. Mo-
bile had the nerve to tackle the propo-
sition and If it wins out the Mobile
Chamber of Commerce will have done
much to benefit not alone Mobile but
the entire south.
Pensacola has lost great deal by
the L. & N. people refusing to allow
certain lines of vessels to use their
docks, and If the commission rules IA
vorably then Pensacola will be vir-
tually an open port.
Nothing is asked of the railroads and
the wharfage companies. They are
not asked to give up anything-it is
only asked that they accept legitimate
business, and we believe that the In
terstate Commerce Commission will
force them to do it.
Pensacola has given the l.. & N.
valuable franchises and property rights
and waterfrontage and the road in
turn refuses to allow certain classes !
of legitimate business to be done at
this port, and unless 1t can be reached |
through the Interstate Commerce Com
mission there is no redress whatever. |
Fortunately the new roads will be
forced to open their docks to legiti |
mate business, The franchises granted |
require this and the railroad people |
are willing to allow it, but the L. & N. |
will no doubt have to be forced to do
so before 1t agrees.
We do not know at this time whether
facts concerning Pensacola would be
admitted at the Mobile investigation or
not, but If they are permissible then
Pensacola should be represented there
and no doubt the Commercial Asso-
citation will do everything in its power
to present the conditions that exist in
Pensacola and the methods that are
practiced by the L. & N. to the In
terstate Commerce Commission hear
ing in Mobile.
There is surely some avenue through
which the people may travel to make
public service corporations do the right
then. The Mobile hearing offers the
and the result will prob
ably be that the roads must do the
fair thing.

Effect Of Sound and Color.

Every one is familiar with
the effects of sound upon
the nervous. Harmonious
sounds please and crafty,
inharmonious sounds dis
please and irritate. Sweet
music, the singing of birds,
the purling of a brook, fall
pleasantly upon the ear,
soothing and delighting the
hearer. The screeching of a
rusty hinge, the banging of
a door, the sound of a dis
cordant piano, irritate and
annoy the hearer. If long
enough continued, sue h
sounds will produce an evil

that throw a quaint light on the
life of the Greek colony in anci-
ent Egypt. One is a. letter from
a schoolboy to his father, beg
ging to be taken to Alexandria

One of these MSS, of which
DR.. Grenfell supplies the date as
the second century, runs:
"Charemon invites you to dine
with him tomorrow, which is
the 18th of the month, at 9 D.
clock (about 3 O'Clock in the af-
ternoon)."
Here is a translation of a mis-
sive which might have been
found any time these /, 300 years,
a singularly direct invitation to a
wedding:
"Herals invites you to dine
with her at the marriage of her
children in her house tomorrow,
which is the 18th, at 9o'clock g
p. m.) :"

of weddings at the residence Of
the bride is discovered to be

But these extraordinary finds
contain nothing quite so remar-
kable as the irrefutable evidence
that the Simple Life movement
was advocated 1000 years ago,

only rejecting the sentiment Of
one of Pindar's odes, which
translated, runs:

" Kennett Harris.
There are folks who are nightly
clever
Who can take a quick jump to
success;
There are folks could mention
who never
Seem to have the least wish to
progress,
And are always in awful dis
tress.
You are not the one thing or the
other,
But you needn't feel any dis
may;
Your ambition it's foolish to
smother
Just keep pegging away.
You may be quite a dull sort Of
fellow,
But it's onlya coward would
care
Show you haven't the least streak
of yellow;
You can do what you will il
you dare
For the tortoise once raced

ance
That you'll win if you only
will stay;
For the goal is always reached
by endurance
Just keep pegging away.
IL you want to keep cash IN youl
pocket,
Don't try to get wealthy to-
quick;
For those chaps that go up like
rocket
Very soon come down like tn,

It's all right to be brilliant an,
fighty,
But you will find that it seldor
will pay.
