A. c. L. ENGINEER.
Makes Trip to Miami by Boat from
Tampa-Has Fine
Trip.

IF anybody tells me the south end
OF Florida below Okcechobec is not
an island, III tell him he's Il liar
for I've sailed around it, was the
sensational statement of j. II. Mack,
Of Lakeland, who was Il Metropolis
visitor yesterday.
Mr.. Mack arrived in Miami ycstcr-
day aboard his fine little launch,
Polly tanned and hearty, from
three weeks exposure to Florida $ in
MIGRATING sunshine and air, having
travelled across the peninsula from
Tampa to Fort l.audcrdaIc, and
claiming the distinction of being the
first fellow to do the trick, at least
uEaidcd. Mr. Mack stated that his
actual travelling time from Tampa to
Miami occupied less than a week, and
that the rest of the time he had put
in hunting along the way, and bag
ging game on the northern shore of
Lake Okeechobee.
The only trouble which he had on
the way was the passage of the dam
in the North canal, which required
the combined efforts of several men
to roll the boat around the embank-
ment. Mr.. Mack left Tampa, passed
along through the inside passage to
BOca Grande, on to Punta Rassa,
UP the CalOosahatchce river to Lake
There he circled the
lake, and declares that it is pretty
big body of water. lie camped a
week on the northern shore, shoot
ing ducks and coOts which are found
in abundance this season of the year
at that place
Mr.. Mack states that he saw some
of the finest land he has ever seen
while coming down from Lake Okee-
rhobee by way of the North canal, !
and that he believes that the Ever
slades will one day be great farm
ng territory. The trip made by Mr.
Mack is one that has been planned by
many, and will be no doubt very
popular one when the dam is out so
hat the passage up the canal will be
.asier. He will continue his excur-
ion around the point and back on
he west side.
Mr. Mack is locomotive engineer
N the Atlantic Coast Line, and says
hat he has been planning the trip
which he is now taking, for three
'ears. He is enjoying 1t immensely.
md expects to have lots more sport
'efore he gets back.-Miami Metrop-

Lake Charles Paper in Error Regard
ing Base Ball Game Played
Here on the Fourth.

In Justice to the Welsh base ball
team we wish to correct an erroneous
statement made in one OF the Lake
Charles papers relative to the results
OF the base ball games PLAYED here the
Fourth. That paper stated that Lake
Charles beat Welsh BY score OF z TO
0. This is positive error. The first
game was between Lake Charles and
Roanoke, and resulted in decided
victory for the Roanoke team. Fol
lowing this Welsh PLAYED the winning
team, the Roanoke bows, and defeated
them by q substantial score. There
was no game played between the Lake
Charles team and the Welsh team,
and yet by process of comparison
the Welsh team may be said to have
defeated both the Roanoke and the
Lake Charles teams, as they defeated
Roanoke and Roanoke defeated Lake
Charles. The Lake Charles Hustler'
will have to hustle at least once mor'
before thew can justly claim the homo
of defeating the Welsh team or an.
team on the Welsh field.

An Old Land Mark Burned Down
Sunday.

The Joe Anderson house located
eight miles north west of Welsh burned
to the ground SUNDAY about noon.
This house, which until recently was
occupied by A. NJ. Liscomb and family
and was the honse in which Ward
Liscomb was murdered couple of
years ago, was erected by j. A.
Anderson of this city. about twenty
five years ago. shortly after Mr..
Anderson came to this country from
the north. The house, which was one
of the largest and most pretentions
farm houses in this section, had either
stood empty, or else been occupied b,
negroes, as was the case when il
burned, since Mr.. Liscomb moved his
family out of 1t shortly after the mur
der of his son.
The fire is supposed to have origi
mated from defective fue. Th,
property belongs to northern man
or company, and so far as we hav,
been able to learn, carried no insur
ance.

State Superintendent of Education
Makes Plea For Federal Control
of Rural Schools.

At the meeting of the National
Educational Association held in
Chicago this week. it was asserted
that OF the 10000, 900 pupils in the
public schools, 1900, 900 of them are
attending rural schools, the vast
majority of which are not giving the
pupils the advantages that they should
enjoy or that is being enjoyed by the
pupils attending city and town schools
In this connection Thomas H. Harris,
state superintendent of schools of
Louisiana, declared the condition of
the rural schools was becoming so
deplorable thai it was time for the
federal govel nment to provide both
monev and methods to remedy the
situation.
The fear of federal interference with
state schools should be set aside in
the interest of the rising generation. u
said Mr.. Harris. National supervi.
sion of country schools in an absolute
necessity. Our country needs better
educated rural citizenship.

Telephone Removed From Southern
Pacific Depot.

AS result of some slight difference
between the Telephone Company and
the Railroad Company, the telephone
has been removed from the depot at
this place. Mr.. Tubbs, the S. P.
Agent here, desires US to state that the
phone was not removed through any
objection upon his part to serve the
public by answering it at all times
when possible, and that because OF
the benefit it was in keeping the pub
lie informed as to the running oftrains,
he very much regrets the action OF the
Telephone company in having it re-
moved. According to his understand.
ing of the case there was at least
verbal agreement between the Tele.
phone company and the people OF
Welsh, that in consideration of GER
tain privileges granted the Telephone
company would maintain a phone in
the depot, for the accommodation Of
the public, gratis. This, he saws has
been done until the present time, wher
for some reason the company ordered
the phone removed.
Whe ther the fault lies with the rail
road or the telephone company, th'
removal of the depot telephone works
great hardship upon the travelling
public, especially while the passenge1
service is as irregular as it is at th'
present time, when the trains are run
ming anywhere from one to six hours
late. We believe that the public
should demand re-installment 0
this phone.
