SPECIAL MEETING OF SCHOOL
BOARD

The board of public instruction for
Marion county met in special session
on December 20, 1912, with all mem
bers present and acting as follows:
w. D. earn, chairman; B. r. Bitch
and j. S. Granthm, members, and J..
H. Brinson, secretary.
Minutes of the last meeting were
read and approved as read
A petition from number of the
patrons of Evergreen colored school
was presented, asking for the remov-
al of their teacher for trouble that
she was alleged to be making be-
tween a man and his wife. The su-
pervisor and another man appeared
with her father in her behalf and the
teacher also, and two of the petition
ers appeared in behalf of the petition.
After hearing the statements of the
several parties and questioning them
closely, and discussing the matter.
the board talked the matter over with
the teacher and her father, and she
rendered her resignation without the
board passing upon the question as to
her guilt or innocence. The resigna-
ton was accepted.
Mr.. R. C. Fort of Lynne called and
made inquiry as to whether the board
had a deed for the old Larry Sims
colored school lot. 1t was ordered
thta the matter be looked up and a re-
port made to him. He expressed 4
desire to buy the same if the board
had a deed for it.
The board then passed upon all the
teachers reports that were in at the
time, ordering them paid, and author.
lied the chairman and secretary TO
pay those coming in promptly for the
months finished by the goth inst.
A request was presented for the
Lake Bryant school to be allowed to
run for four months at a salary o.
$50 per month, instead of running
six months under the regular appro
priation at salary of $50 per month,
They having an opportunity to secure
teacher having first grade certifi-
cate under this arrangement, it was
agreed to grant the request.
The board passed over any other
matters before them until the regular
meeting on January Z, 1918.

MODERN HARMLESS BULLETS

From this country there have gone
to Bulgaria, Montenegro and to Ser
via fifty surgeons who are in charge
of about 1000 beds.
One of them, DR.. Fedlicka, states
that he has had an opportunity of OBJ
serving GO cases of severe wounds
in Servian soldiers, and expresses his
surprise at the rapidity of healing
and aseptic conditions of even the
most dangerous injuries.
Men shot through the body by bull
lets which penetrated the liver, the
lung, the spleen and the intestines
recovered after fortnight or sc
without much evidence of ultimate
harm.
The modern bullet is rendered asep
tic by the enormous heat of the burn
ing powder and it hardly ever shat
ters long bones, so that there were
very few mputations-only two il
500 cases-and only twenty instances
in which plaster of Paris bandages
were necessary.-Vienna Cor. to Lon

| CANAL FROM PALM BEACH TO
THE EVERGLADES

A Tallahassee special says that the
board of trustees of the internal inn
provement fund have had busy time
considering matters relating to the
Everglades. The matter taken up and
disposed of first was contracting for
the construction of the West Palm
Beach canal This canal will be con-
structed from Palm Beach to Lake
Okeechobee by the shortest and most
available route. II will be 421a miles
long, having az average width on the
bottom of IS feet and an average
depth of II feet, requiring an excava-
ton of approximately 100000 cubic
yards of earth, and $4,000 cubic yards
of rock. This canal will be begun
July /, and is to be completed in thir-
ty months theFefrom. The canal will
to Lake Okeechobee, and will be the
gateway to the Everglades country.
The land owners along the route Of
| the canal and who will be affected by
it's construction, have contributed
$4,000 toward the work, and the
state has given 10000 acres of land,
which has been sold for SIS per acre,
or an amount of $150,0O0, which has
been placed to the credit of this work,
| making a total of $225,000 already
available. 1t is estimated that the
construction of this canal will cost
| about 100000
Canal construction is to be the pro-
gram of the future, and will work
miracles in the reduction of freight
rates, and for pleasure craft. A canal
to Silver Springs would make Ocala a
great central city, and the immediate
section blossom as the rose.

II PAYS TO KICK

nd two frogs, so am told,
3Sfet wayside pool;
4fd lie OF these frogs was blamed
bright frog,
But the other frog was a fool.
Now a farmer man with big milk
can
Was wont to pass that way,
And he used to stop and add drop
OF the water, so they say.
And it CHANGED one morn, in the early
dawn,
When the farmers sight was dim,
He scooped those frogs in the water
he dipped,
Which same was joke on him.
The fool frog sank in the smashing
tank,
AS the farmer bumped to town,
But the smart frog flew like tug
boat screw,
And swore he'd not go down.
So he kicked and splashed and slam
med and thrashed,
Anu uG hSpC OL Twp IhiCuoh
And he churned that milk in tirst-class
shape
Into a great big butter ball.
Now, when the milkman got to town
/. And opened the can, there lay
The fool frog drowned, but hale and
5 sound,
! The kicker, he hoped away.

on't fret your life with endless
strife,
Yet let this teaching stick;

Should Abolish Old System


My views are the result of some
years of study and reflection upon
actual conditions, and my opinion is
that our old systems ought to be abol-
ished, and that a simple and plain
system for getting at the actuai facts
of all controversies should be adopt
ed.
If such a system were found, upon
trial, to be imperfect or defective, let
it be amended as such defects or i'm
projections appear, and to this end all
the courts ought to be authorized and
directed to report to the legislature
such defects as are encountered in
the actual administration of the law.
One word more. 1t must not be
forgotten that we cannot slavishly
copy the English or any other system.
Parliament in England is supreme.
There is no written constitution hedg-
ing about the jurisdiction of the
courts, such as we have. 1t would
be therefore impossible for the leg
islature to give our courts some OF
the powers which are conferred on
the English courts. But much can
be done to simplify our system.-Jus-
tice W. A. Hooker, of the Supreme
Court of Florida, in the Pensacola
Journal

nual report. More mental detectives
come from foreign-born residents OF the
United states than natives, and the
army furnishes greater number OF
patients than the navy.
Alcoholism has but little share In the
insanity which Is treated at the insti-
tuition. only three out OF the 5000 pa
tients at the hospital traced their con.
dition to this cause, contrary to a gen.
orally accepted opinion that there Is a
close relation between the two. That
mental disease often develops early in
life is shown in the fact that the largest
number of patients admitted during the
past year were between twenty and
twenty-five years of age
At the beginning of the present fiscal
year there were 2.ll6 males and TAG fe-
male patients. During the year a total
OF 733 patients were received, Of which
2i3 were males and 490 females.
