 ing, perhaps, civilization by recent past history, it is easy to make our people think that Japan was a blood thirsty nation, that il wanted ter ritory, and wanted war with the United States. 1 think this idea is being gradually worn out, and that with the advent of peaceful senti- ments, and with those sentiments be- ing stimulated, as pointed out b. Mir. Kennedy, confidence will be re stored and the idea of suspecting our neighbors will be a thing of the past. There is no ground for fear that this cause will not win. Since the end of the Napoleonic wars in 1915 nearly 250 international controSers- ies have been submitted to arbitra- tion-( (AppIause) - and there have been forty during the past ten years We are at the close of the first de cade of new country, and we would be doing badly indeed if, with our toasted civilization. the century should succeed much further with cut having accomplished this great purpose In the beginning of things you know the strongest man was the winner; but by degrees civilization cured that. Today the civil courts. and the officers of the courts, are able to give those who have contro- versies with their neighbors such remedies and such satisfaction as they are entitled to receive. The na- ton can do the same, and nations will do the same in the near future. As has been pointed out. one of the most difficult and long-standing of controversies between Great Britain and the United States has during the past year been settled successfully.

JAPAN D|SCLA|MS ALL
 HOSTILE FEELING FUR Us.

This paper is iu receipt of a copy of the report of the inaugural meet ing of the American Peace society of Japan, which was held in Yoko- hama on January 90. The society was formed for the purpose of com batting so far as possible the ru- mors prevalent from time to time or i'll feeling between the United States and Japan, and promoting friendly relations between the two powers. It was called after several months of careful investigation and was attend ed by a highly representative body of professional and business men and missionaries Officers were elected and resolutions passed and in the course of the meeting the following speech was delivered by Hon. Thomas H. O'Brien, United States ambassa- dor:
 It seemed to me that when l first learned of the intention of American citizens in Japan to organize such a society as this, that a most excellent work had been undertaken. There is no other source so good, no other source so effective, as witnesses from the scene, and with you, as citizens of the United States resident in Japan for many years have ob- served and learned should he &C., cepted at its face value in the United States, regardless of what might be said by other people who obtain their views on the continent of Europe It is quite possible there are many causes prompted by peo- pie who are selfish and greedy, caus es of which we know little, which go to make up a false public opinion as regards the relations between Jap an and the United States. It is easy to startle people by extraordinary statements; it is certainly easy tc startle them in the United States We are a sentimental people. easily excited, with emotions very close to the surface; and between public opinion of a few years ago and the public opinion of today there is . considerable, but not 1 hope serious difference. It is a little difficult t6 understand from what source thii agitation proceeds. But it must ruT it's course, as most things do. ana out of it will come the truth ana the result we all hope for.

One of the finest examples of paw ky humor is placed to the credit of an old gardener who was in the sery- ice of Admiral of the Fleet Sir Alex ander Milne. The admiral was q grand old man, full of goodness and kindness, but strict disciplinarian. The gardener having omitted to do something which ne had been told to do. his master said to him:
 When I was on board ship l would have had you put in irons fer disobe dience"
 The old gardener was not much per turbed at the idea, but, leaning on his spade. replied:

ONE DOLLAR YEAR
THE CASE AGAINST JUDGE 10
SEPH BELL
From Fridays Daily:

From Fridays Daily:
The case against Judge Bell of the
county court, which has been before
the circuit court in several shapes for
some time. was ended yesterday by
Judge Bullock again instructing the
jury to return a verdict of mot gull
ty."
When the first case went to trial it
was found that the Indictment bore no
date when the alleged crime of Tex
tortion" was said to have been COM
mitted, so the court instructed the
jury to return verdict of mot gull
ty."
State Attorney Davis drew new in
formation. and when the case went to
trial yesterday the lawyers for Judge
Bell demurred to the evidence on the
ground that it did not constitute the
crime charged. The evidence showed
that Judge Bell allowed man to
plead guilty on Sunday for a negro in
jail. and after paying the fine and
costs the negro was discharged from
custody On Monday the judge sum-
moned six witnesses against the ne
gro, and taxed as costs 5000 as wit
ness fees against him, also charged
him with a fee for arraignment, when,
in fact he had not been arraigned,
also charged him with fee for com
mitment and for issuing a subpoena,
when, in fact, no commitment and no
subpoena had been issued until after
the prisoner had paid his fine and
costs and had been discharged from
custody, and, in fact, was dead.
The judge held that this did not
constitute the crime charged, and di-
rected the jury to return a verdict OF
mot guilty"
Judge Bells friends were keenly
pleased with the termination of the
case and he was warmly congratulate
ed by them.

his daughter, Mrs. John Brown. Mr..
Dye, until about a year ago, was con-

pany was a pronounced success, but
Mr.. Dye had to separate himself from

came very much impaired. He spent
several months at San Diego under
the care of specialists and entirely re-
covered. He is now living at Bruton,
Ala, and expects to engage either in
the coal or iron business. He was up

DEATH OF MRS. ALEXANDER
BREvARD BRUMBY


A host of stars were watching in
silence Friday night when the angel
of death again visited the Brumby
home and summoned the soul of Mrs.
Alexander Brevard Brumby to her
heavenly home. Just one year ago,
less ten days, the death angel visited
the Brumby home and carried back
with him the soul of Mr.. Louis j..
Brumby. the only son of the family,
and one of the best known newspaper
men of Florida. Mrs. Brumby was Ia
ken sick during the last illness of her
son, and since that time had never
been very strong. The past summer
she spent with her daughters in
Georgia and Washington, d. c., and
returned home the last of November
greatly improved. Last Sunday night
Mrs. Brumby was taken suddenly
very i'll, but in a few days seemed so
much better that no apprehension was
entertained as to her recovery, and
her death Friday night was very sud
den, caused by angina pectoris.
Mrs. Brumby was born in Savan-
nah, Ca, and had she lived until
March would have been 6S years old.
She was Miss Ellen Robarts and spent
most of her girlhood days at Mariet-
ia, where in 1866 she was married to
Prof. A. B. Brumby, who distinguished
himself in letters, being a professor
at various times in the universities at
Columbia, S. c., Tuscaloosa, Ala, and
Athens, Ga. Prof Brumby died about
thirty-two years ago. Mrs. Brumby
had lived in Ocala over twenty years,
and she had great many very warm
friends here. to whom her death will
be a great sorrow, and, coming sud
denly as it did was a great shock to
everyone. Flowers fade and fall, and
we miss their fragrance and beauty,
and we realize that much of life's
cheer is gone. Mrs. Brumby's was a
pure and noble character, and her life
was like flower, shedding its sweet
ness along the path of all who knew
her, and she will be missed by a large
circle of friends.
Mrs. Brumby is survived by four
daughters, Miss Lila Brumby of this
city, who was with her when she died,
Mrs. w. H. Quarterman of Winder,
Ga, Miss Hattie Brumby of Atlanta,
Ca, and Mrs. Pierre NJ. Bealer of
Washington, d. G. Mrs. Brumby
leaves also two sisters, Miss Robarts
and married sister, both of whom
reside in Pensacola.
The body of Mrs. Brumby was
sent to the old home at Athens, Ca,
and was laid to rest in the family
burial grounds beside the bodies of
her husband, her only son and her
daughter, Miss Sophie Brumby, who
died few years ago. Miss Brumby
went with her mothers body Sunday
afternoon. and Mrs. Sanford Jewett
accompanied her on her sad journey

THE METHODIST CHURCH PUR
cHASES BEAUTIFUL LOT

The board of stewards of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, south, of this
city, have just purchased one of the
|prettiest building lots in the city. II
is the lot on Fort King avenue, owned
by Mr.. E. P. Rentz, just east of the
home of Mr.. Arthur Cobb. The pa
pers in this deal have not all been
signed, but the price has been agreed
upon, and the sale has practically
been made. The church has bought
this lot partly as an investment and
partly for immediate use, as they
hope to be able to begin the erection
of very pretty and attractive parson-
age on portion of this lot They ex-
pect to build the new parsonage at
once, and later on. if they can sell the
present church property for business
purposes, will also erect a handsome
new church edifice on portion of the
lot they have bought from Mr.. Rentz.
The Methodists now have probably
the handsomest church in the city, but
lit is better location for business
block than for church, hence their
desire to sell the property.
The church was built while Rev. ],
B. Ley was the pastor here. and dur
ing his present ministry it is hoped
that the new parsonage will be puilt
and plans set on foot for the new
church.
