SUNRISE At SEA

Have you ever seen it? Then you have
missed a vision whose beauty beggars
speech, to make a faint portrayal
You climb from your berth. dress in
ca ger haste to gain the forward deck
Of your staunch old steamship, while
yet the stars mirror their beauty from
the crystal bosom Of a tranquil sea
The winds are hushed to peaceful
slumber, and other than the throbbing
engine or the dull propellers whine,
within the steel ribbed null of your
prison habitation, no sound is heard
Like undulating hills, low lying
clouds stand sentinel against the
Eastern doors where mingle sea and
sky in natures hallowed nuptials. Then
as you look low down the binding
arches there begins to spread the
faintest glow, suggesting virtues
blush beneath the touch of love warm
lips. \ tangent veil of vapor swings
upward and like a crimson canopy
rests along the highway which awaits
the days new king. 4 ragged beggar
at the Golden Gates of Plenty, you
gaze enraptured on the unfolding pa
geant. y narrow flush Of fire sweeps
the surface OF the wondrous waters,
till quickly rising it kindles into light
the immensely above and the gloomy
west beholding, hides her sombre face
behind the curtains of her fading
stars. Then the whole wide sea be-
comes a vast eXpanse of molten silver
whose ripples are the Keys of Times

with the music of redemption from

Methinks a sunrise on the ocean
serves fttingly as a symbol of the ris-
ing Sun of Righteousness upon life's
moral seas DER which man voyag
The night of sin shrinks back, the

limated soul is thrilled at the miracle
Of moral transformation that is
wrought. Jno B. Ley

BRIEF SKETCH OF THE
LIFE OF GOREE NELSON
(Sumter County T'mes)

NSumler county L meSD
Many hearts in this county will be
saddened at the news of the death of
Goree Nelson, which sad event oc-
CURED at Tampa Wednesday morning
at s o'clock. Mr.. Nelson had been sick
for many months. Wednesday of last
week he was taken to Tampa, with the
hope that under the care of physicians
there his life might be prolonged.
We have not at hand a biography of
Mr.. Nelson, but his life in this county
for the past twenty years is we'll
known to us all. He first settled in
Sumter county at a grove near Bay
Hill, where with his wife he lived until
elected clerk of the circuit court Be-
fore his election as clerk he served two
terms in the Florida legislature from
this county, the sessions of 1893 and
1895. He was first elected clerk in
1900, going into office January, 1901
and had he lived to serve out his term
would have held office for twelve
years. He was married to Miss Sallie
Snowden at Ocala about twenty years
ago and was fifty-seven years of age
some time the past summer.
He had just erected a magnificent
home at Bushnell, and had moved in II
only a few days before he was confin-
ed to his bed by his last illness. He
was also reelected TO the office OF
clerk on November 5th. he being then
confined to his bed.
Besides his wife, who survives him
he left two brothers and one half
brother to mourn his death. The body
was inferred in the Tampa cemetery
on Thursday, Thanksgiving day.

CUT THEM DOWN

It seems to the Star that the news
papers of the country-particular Of
the south-might do the public in
general and their own section in par
ticular a great service by agreeing to
reduce the reports of Iynching negroes
for the usual crime" to a minimum
and printing them as inconspiculous1y
las possible.
II is too much to ask any local pa
per where such an event takes place
not to give a full account; and it is too
much to ask the same of a paper
printed in that territory and state not
to give considerable space to it. But
it would, in the stars opinion, be
proper and possible to agree on a
style of cutting the details of such
events in other states to the smallest
possible mention and printing them as
moons picuously as possible.
The worst thing about these crimes
is that the innocent always suffer far
more than the guilty in proportion
Of course, it is impossible to punish a
negro rapist for his crime anything
like in proportion to what his victim
has to bear if she lives, and to the
horror that must always be in the
minds of her relatives and friends.
Also, the better class of colOred peo-
pie have to suffer for the crimes COM
mitted by the brutes of their race. Ev-
cry occurrence of the sort awakens
and adds to the prejudice against them
felt by hotbIooded and unthinking
men. Many of them make the mistake
Of trying to shield their criminals, and
this disposition is added to by the
propensity of some white men to blame
the whole race for the crimes of the
individuals. The prejudice that causes
this propensity is fed not a little by
rapes and lynchings in other commun-
tiles, such accounts always being play
ed up under scare heads in prominent
positions. and often padded with de-
tails manufactured in the newspaper
office when not enough come in over
the wire
The Star thinks that if these occur
ences were cut to the barest details
and printed under single line heads
such a policy if universally and per
sistently carried out would in time a
least reduce the Inflammation. We dc
not recommend a law to that effect
we have too many laws now. But /,
the Dig newspapers or the country VII
accept the suggestion Of their small
contemporary, they can do this, a:
they do many other things. by the
mighty law of their influence.
White men and negroes have to live
and work side by side in this country
of ours-the more justice they render
one another, the better. The white
man is far the wisest and strongest
and he never disgraces himself wher
! he sets good example.
