MIR. VOORHEES, Is CONSERVATIVE
South Lake Weir, Fla. Feb. %.

South Lake Weir, Fla, Feb. %.
Editor Star: The Summerfie1d Chron-
icle, one of the crack papers of the
county, is advocating a county bond is
sue of one million dollars TO build hard
roads with. Now, the writer does not
think that Marion county has the germ
of insanity TO that extent, but for fear
that it has, he wants to enter his Wig
orous protest against any such pro-
cedure. Hard roads are a fine thing,
and a good investment for the county,
but we want to go about it in some
kind of conservative manner and get
what we have some show of paying
| for Marion county is in debt now
nearly 100000, and has quite a strug-
| gle to get along and pay interest on
| that much. How would she fare on a
| debt ten times that large? In my let
ter to the Chronicle 1 advocated a bond
issue of 100000, which 1 think would
be as much as ought to be borrowed.
| The main plea is that the tourists
need the hard roads. Granted. But
hood of thirty miles across each way,
and about two good roads across it in
each direction (north and south and
east and west) would satisfy all de-
mands of the tourists, and they with
what we already have, could be built
with less than 100000.

IN ACCORD WITH AMERICA
-Four Other Great Powers are I'm Favor
of Maintaining the Integrity
of China

Washington, March 2-England,
Russia, Germany and Japan have re-
sponded favorably to Secretary Knox's
invitation to place themselves on re-
cord with the United States for the
continued integrity Of China and joint
action without seeking individual ad-
vantage in any concerted movement
Of the powers which may become nee
essary in the present disturbances.
France. Italy and Austria, to whom
copies of the note were sent a the
same time, have not responded.
The interchange was called forth by
Secretary Knox'se letter on Feb to
Count Won Bernstorff, the ambassador
from Germany, in which the views and
the attitude of the United States to-
ward the situation in China were made
a subject OF record.
Diplomatists generally interpreted
the note as an indication that Germany
and the United States were agreed and
would stand together to continue the
time it was construed as an invitation
to other powers to place themselves on
record.
Great Britain and Germany in their
replied say that the attitude of the
United States is quite in accord with
their own.
Japan and Russia indicate their con-
currence with the policy Of non-inter-
vention and common action.

SITUATION IS SERIOUS
Powers May Have to Interfere Again
to save Lives of Their People
I'm Pekfn

Pekin, March AT half past seven
last evening, desultory fighting was
renewed in the city.
It is believed that Yuan Shi Kai has
lost control No troops except the
Manchus are to be depended on and
they evidently only to defend the i'm
perial and forbidden cities Delegates
fl ON Nanking escaped yesterday from
burning residences, where they were
guests of the city. They are now stay
ing at a hotel in the legation quarter.
The streets have been thronged all
day, but all shops and houses are
closed. Long lines of carts continue
to bring valuables into the legation
quarter. where they are stored in for
eign banks and warehouses.
Space being limited in the legation
quarter, only a few Of the better class
of Chinese are being permitted to take
refuge there. Many Christians, how
ever, are being harbored in the mis-
sion compounds. Trains for Tien Tsin
are crowded with fugitives.
The number of killed probably is
under one hundred. The object of the
rioters evidently was loot and not
slaughter and the continued firing
apparently was designed to intimida te
| the people.

confident he will be able TO control
the situation.
The British minister adds that the

SO heavy rs was first reported. He has
not asked for reinforcemeents TO be

AN INCREASE ORDERED
An Offer that May Cause the Lawrence
Strikers to Return to Their Work

Lawrence, Mass, March 2.-An ad-
vance in wages that will affect nearly
thirty thousand textile mill operatives
in Lawrence and vicinity, notices of
which were posted yesterday, fore
casts the end of the strike that has
kept Lawrence in turmoil for the last
month.
While Lawrence strikers have not
agreed to return to work on the in
creased wage schedule, it seems more
than likely that the employees will re-
turn to their looms Monday when the
raise goes into effect.
The five per cent advance is based
on the fifty-four hour law, or in other
words, the increase will be added to
the wages paid for f1fty-four hours
work a week.

OLD COPY OF sAcoN,s ESSAYS.

Bacon'S Essays, a copy of which
realized 1850 at the HUH sale,
have a special title to fame. This
work was the first of any Importance
to be translated from English into
French. The translation proved a
great success. In his preface to the
third edition, Baudouin, the trans
lator, complains that "at least four
editions Of this work would have
been sold by now if the booksellers
had not hampered its sale by their
unwillingness to place it before the
public" Still, the fact that three
editions were called for within five
years shows that the essays were
heartily appreciated by French read
ers. The first French version of
Shakespeare appeared in 1776-over

THE MAKING OF A vIRGINIAN
Diet Seems to Play Important Part In
Making True Gentleman Of
Old Dominion.

The subtle connection which ex-
lists between diet and the special
characteristics of the various
branches of the human race is point
ed out by DR.. George W. Bagby in
'"The Old Virginia Gentleman" who
says that a Virginian could not be
a Virginian without bacon and
greens. He also tells some of the
other things that must go to the
making of a true Virginian.
He must have fried chicken,
stewed chicken, broiled chicken and
chicken pie; old hare, butter beans,
new potatoes, squirrel, cymlins,
snaps, barbecued shoat, roas'n ears,
buttermilk, hoe-cake, ash-cake, pan
cake, fritters, potpie, tomatoes, June
apples, wafles, sweet milk, parsnips,
artichokes, scrambled eggs, goober
peas, fried apples, popcorn, persim-
mon beer, apple bread, milk and
peaches, mutton stew, dewberries,
batter cakes, muskmelons, hickory
nuts, partridges, honey in the honey
comb, snappin' turtle eggs, damSon
tarts, catfish, cider, hot light bread
and cornfeld peas all the time; but
he must not intermit his bacon and
greens.
He must butt heads with little
negroes, get the worst of it, and run
crying to tell his ma about it; wear
white yarn socks with green toes and
yarn gallowses; make frog houses
over his feet in the wet sand and
find woodpeckers' nests meddle with
the negro men at hog-killing time.
and be in everybody's way generally
upset beehives, bring wasps' nests
into the house, and get stung over
the eye by a yellow-jacket; watch
setting turkeys; own a bench-Ieg flee
and a speckled shoat; wade in the
branch; eat too many black-heart
cherries try to tame a catbird; call
d~oodle-bugs out of their holes, and
keep on eating bacon and green's

Taft and the People.

President Taft, in his recent
speech in New York, used these
words; THE people are not al
ways able to decide what is best
'or them. A great many men who
believe this to be true lack cour-
dge to say it."
In explaining that the people
do not always know what they
want, the President made no men
ton of the fact that the people
do not always have a chance, un-
der the present cumbersome elect
Ion methods, to give expression to
their opinions. The people, for in
stance, probably would not be in
favor of allowing hundreds of Of
flee holding Republicans in the
to nominate the candidate
for President, but how can they
help themselves? Moreover, when
che pople decide almost unami-
mously that they want a certain
thing, such as the recall in Ari-
iona, the President steps in and
says they shall not have it. When
both Houses of Congress pass a
bill revising the tax on woolens
the President makes
that legislation impossible with
his veto. Apparently it makes
small difference to Mr.. Taft
whether the people know what
they want or not.
