MAN AND HIS DESTINY

Talk not of this or that subject being
too sacred for investigation 1t is too
much to assert that there is but one
object beneath the skies that is sac
red, and that is man? Surely, there
is no government, no institution, no
order, rite, day, place, building, creed,
or book so sacred as he who was be-
fore every government, institution,
order, rite, day place, building, creed,
or book, and by whom all these things
are to be regarded as nothing higher
or better than means to an end, and
that end is his own elevation and hap
piness; and he is to discard each and
ali of them, when they fail to do him
service or to minister to his necessi-
ties.-Wm. Lloyd Garrison.

From the authority of ruler who
has so long neglected the golden OPP

he did not know his weakness even
when he sold cotton for cents a

There is nothing left for us to do
but to give him fried chicken and

Then, and not until then, shall

ABOUT CORN AND HOGS

Following is a speech made by Mr..
McIver Williamson, from the Column
bia, Is. c. State:
The following is his speech on "The
Hog"
THE western corn-fed hog has ever
driven a merciless bargain with the
southern farmer
Each day in the year he invades
every southern home, and the burden
of tribute he levies is more than the
richest nation can bear.
HE has sold more land and broken
up more homes, he has caused more
debt and the distress that come in its
trail than any other enemy of the
! south.
"The strongest and the most con-
slant ally of the cotton bear. many
and many is the time that he has
rooted old King Cotton from his
throne and squealed with joy over
his PROSTATE form.

that the south is worth two Europes
to him. The hog has been worth 100
Liverpools to the northern bear.
For years and years we have con-
tended against him in vain. His en-
nifty is more than we can stand.
Therefore we must make peace with
him at any cost.
He has been a terrible foe. He
would be priceless as friend
Il agree with the hungry old sol
der, who, after his final defeat, said
if he ever had to go to war again
he wanted to join the cavalry ana
ride on the back of fat hog. Sucn
an army would be invincible in war
and invaluable in peace.

THE sHoUTERS AND THE PER
FORMERS

Nearly every man in these days
who shouts for reform" is out for an
office. But a majority of the real re-
formers of the world held no office.
But these fellows who caress the peo-
pie and shout loudest in their behalf
are not always the most sincere
We may cite a case in point Mr..
William A. Trimmer, of Moline, Fla,
writing to the Pensacola Journal,
says that when the ordinance of Sc
cession in this state was adopted he
was in Apalichicola The event was
celebrated with a big supper and
speeches. Judge Mcqueen Mcintosh
was one of the speakers. He was a
member of the convention from Cal
houn county. He made a speech in
which he said that che would wade
his horse up to the bride in Yankee
blood" George T. Ward opposed Sc
cession and in solemn warnings told
of the devastation and ruin that
would result from such step. But
when the act was irrevocable Ward
Immediately raised a regiment and
was among the first to reach the his
toric ground of Virginia Mr.. Trim
mer says that the splendid regiment
did duty from June 1, 1861, to April,
1865 participating in a hundred
battles. Colonel Ward" says Mr..
Trimmer, was killed at the Williams
burg fight In Gen. Early's report of
the fight he says: I'm the list of the
killed in the Second Florida is found
the name of its colonel, Geo. T. Ward,
as true a gentleman and as gallant a
soldier as has drawn a sword in this
war, and whose conduct under fire
it was my fortune to witness on
another occasion. His loss to his reg
'iment, to his state and to the con-
federacy can not be easily compensat-
ed"
Lawyer Mcqueen Mcintosh, who
promised to wade in blood to the
bride of his horse, got a federal APP
pointment at Key West as judge Of
the marine court and remained there
during the entire war"

WALDO WOMAN OBTAINS
JUDGMENT FOR $4,000

The attorneys have just been mott
fed by the clerk of the court of an
peals that the court of New Orleans
had affirmed the decision of the Unit
ed States court for the northern dis
trict of Florida in the suit of the Unit
ed Commercial Travellers Association
of America, VS.. Miss Mary Bell, tried
in Gainesville in May, 1909, before
Judge Sheppard
The higher court denied the right of
the association to bring any other suit
to relieve itself of the judgment of
Miss Bell in the state court.
This suit originally came from the
killing of w. H. Moreland at High
Springs. in July, 1909. which caused
quite a sensation throughout the
state. Miss Bell of Waldo was the
"affianced wife" of Moreland, and she
brought the suit in the circuit court at
Gainesville, and obtained a verdict of
$3.50 in May, 1909, which now aggre-
gates about $4,000, and from the rul-
ing of the court of appeals there is
nothing for the defendant association
to do but pay the judgment
This is a matter of national interest,
as the United Commercial Travellers
Association is a brotherhood compos-
ed of 10000 members, of which More
land was one. The headquarters are
located at Columbus, o.
The attorneys in the case were A.
st. Clair-Abrams for the association,
and E. S. Baxter of Gainesville, and

Pounds blew IN here just before
Christmas He was a man of about
forty years of age and glib talker
and of propossesing appearance. He
said that he came from Brooklyn, n
Y, but had been in Atlanta for some
time. He applied for position in the
shoe store of Davis & Patterson, and
as they we're in need of extra help
during the rush of holiday trade, he
was given employment. He was an
excellent salesman and there he met
Mrs. Stuart who was the widow of the
late R. C. Stuart, the curio dealer.
She had money, and after short
acquaintance he proposed marriage.
The wedding took place on January A..
Then on last Saturday he told his
wife that it was his ambition to enter
the mercantile business, and said that
there was fine opportunity to pur::
chase the business of w. J. Chambers
in the Curry building.
She, having full confidence in him,
advanced him a sum of money.
Pounds actually did negotiate with
Mr.. Chambers, but whether he was in
earnest about it or not, is not known.
After getting the money he told his
wife that he would not be home that
night, as he would be engaged in TAX
ing an inventory of the stock. The
fact that no such arrangement had
been made with Mr.. Chambers makes
things look suspicious.
At least Pounds and the money
have disappeared. The authorities
are looking for him. Mrs. Pounds will
not talk about the matter. She has

band-Tampa Times.

NOW TURNING
TO HOMES IN SUBURBS
influence Of Coming Of Spring Being Felt IN
Real Estate Market Appeal Of
the Country House.

AS soon as the buds begin to swell and
the lawns change in color the influence is
felt in real estate offices, for then IN
quiries begin to be heard about property
in the suburbs and there is decided
revival Of interest in country realty
This phase of the market is just as sea-
sonable as the northern flight OF the
birds or, the coming Of Potomac shad.
The influence of the weather and the
seasons on the real estate market Is as
familiar as that of the general condition
Of business and of the money market.
There is a time in the year for property
in the suburbs. just as there are periods
in the twelve months when oysters are
eaten and clothes of soft light colors
are worn. No one thinks of buying or
selling country property in the winter
time-at least a large proportion Of peo-
pie do not-but when the milder weather
comes, then the thoughts of the buying
public seem to be turned toward holdings
of this sort.
It is curious. circumstance. at first
thought, that an element OF this kind
should enter into such a business PROPOSE
ton as acquiring q home, but experience
shows that to be the case At any rate,

ADDITION TO Be MADE
TO BRADLEY RESIDENCE

An addition Is to be made to the resi-
dence Of Edison Bradley, which is To-
Gated at the point Of the triangular
square fronting on Dupont Circle to the
south and with broad frontages both on
Connecticut avenue and on 10Th street
The new section will occupy q portion OF
the grounds to the south of the house
along the line Of 10Th street and, in fact.
occupying the entire space from the pres
ent house along 10th street to the south
ern bounds of the property.
The new part will, however, not rise to
the same height as the existing struc-
ture. 1t will be only story and q halt
high, but the story of the principal floor
will be a high one, as 1t will contain q
large banquet hall and ballroom. In Or
der to provide the building space for this
extensive addition to an already large
residence 1t will not be necessary for Mr..
Bradley to add to his holdings, as he owns
the residence adjoining the grounds about
his house on the south.
Stable to Be Moved.
In addition he has removed the stable
that stood in one corner of the grounds
and the new part is to extend over the
site of that building. as well as owe,
the back yard and a portion Of the
ground occupied by the adjoining resi-.
dence.
In the case Of the latter the back
building is to be removed, leaving only
the main part with its front on Connect
cut avenue, which will become part OF
the new structure. This extension of the
Bradley house has been designed by How
ard Greeley OF New York, the designer
of the house itself. and it will therefore
be in harmony with that structure, which
is regarded by many as one OF the best
examples Of domestic architecture in this
city. 1t illustrates style which bears
the name Of Francis I. Of which there IL
probably but one other example in this
city.
The high rounded arch filled in with
delicate tracery in stone carving Is the
leading characteristic of this style ana
the house Of Mr.. Bradley is a pleasing
example.

whatever the cause, the fact remains
that in the springtime the thoughts or
people turn toward the country and a
great many have longing to live where
their feet can get the feel of the ground
and where they can see an abundance OIL
green growing things about them.
Country Looks It's Best.
At that time of the year, too, the coun-
try looks it's best, and in this locality 1t
has the charm that comes from variety
in the scenery. There is nothing mOnoto-
nous in the appearance Of the country
about this city, and when the trees and
the shrubbery and the fields are wearing
| their spring garb the appeal to the aver
age man and woman is alluring. For the
most part what appears to satisfy the
longing for different surroundings than
are to be found in the city streets are
homes in the suburbs or in those sections
where the cOnvenienceS of city living may
be had. together with the openness and
freedom Of the country.
The suburbs about this city are adapted
in their development to meet the de-
mands. The growth OF the city, however,
has been such in recent years that subur-
ban localities are soon changed in their
character and in place Of the detached or
semi-detached homes houses in rows are
built. One effect is to push the city popu-

portion has been q movable one Tor
some time, and 1t is often difficult to
realize how elastic this line between the
city proper and the suburbs has become
Suburbs Being Built Up.
The type Of suburban home, in its set
ting Of lawn, is one that has a wide ap-:
peal, as may be seen from the rapid
progress in building all along the main
arteries Of travel from the city's center
to the outlying points. In this way
greater suburban population is gathering
about Washington than ever before In Its
history. Following to a large extent the
lines Of the trolley roads running out of
the city. not only through. the District,
but also through the contiguous terri
tory Of Maryland and Virginia, settle
ments have sprung up almost, as
it were, in the night, and the observer is
astounded as he notes the far-reachtng
trail Of the city from every point OF de-
parture from Washington.
Now the population Of the capital ex-
tends from center, with a radius Of
twenty miles. The former suburbs Of the
city have been absorbed and have
city streets faced with rows of city
houses.

 The musical numbers are by W. R. Williams who colaborated with MT Par ker on The Candy Kid'' and. 'The Cow boy Girl" They are said to be of the tuneful kind that gives one something similar to Mark Twalns literary nieht- mare. for after hearing them they refuse to 5islodge from the mind.
