ST. AUGUSTINE, Dec. "A = St.

progress on the work of surfacing the
John Anderson highway between the
Duval county line and st. Augustine.
Recently Chairman B. Genovar, of
the board of county commissioners,
accompanied by Commissioner Faver.
made tour of inspection of the
highway and found that IL cars of
Augusta gravel had been placed on
the road in the vicinity of Woodland,
covering distance of somewhat less
than half a mile There was one
car yet to be unloaded and two other
cars due to arrive. making a total
of Is cars on the first order for
surfacing material.
The gravel is being put down a
width of IL feet, and at a depth
of about six to eight inches. The Sec
ton improved appears to be fine
piece of work and automobile drivers
who passed through the section dur!
ing the stay or the commissioners
were very loud in their praise of the
work being done by the commission
ers.
1t is hoped that final arrangements
can be made by the commissioners,
with the cooperation of the business
men of st. Augustine, to continue the
surfacing operations until the four
miles from the present terminus of
the shell road at Nine-mile crossing
to the Twelve-mi1e swamp is com
pleted.,

A visit to the Despland farm, fol-
lowing the sharp frost of last week,
disclosed a rather odd effect of the
frost which blackened sweet potato
vines and left tomato plants practi-
cally untouched adjoining them. G..

fine showing of strawberries, Eng

various other vegetables, in fact
everything was looking well cared

effected but little else than the
sweet potato vines.

FIVE ACRES

HARDER TO PREPARE SOIL
THAN ON WESTERN PRAIRIE
OLD LAW REQUIRING 20 ACRES
UNDER CULTIVATION CAUSED
HARDSHIP TO MANY IN STATE
OF FLORIDA.

Instead of every Florida homestead,
er having to put 20 acres of land
under cultivation before final proof
can be made, as has heretofore been
the case, it will be possible to prove
up with much less titled acreage, per
haps as low as five acres, according
to circular recently issued by the
secretary of the interior, facts con-
corning which have been given out
by Henry S. Chubb, register of the
United States land office at Gaines.
vile.
Under the old homestead law ii
was necessary for a homesteader to
live five years upon his claim, and
put one-eighth of the whole under cul
tivation. This would be about 20
acres on the ordinary homestead
When they made these pro,i s;cns
the trainers of the homestead aS
had in mind the great prairies OF tia

Mr.. Chubb, under cultivation thar

be cleared first, the rock grubbed out
and fertilizer added. Later this act
says Mr.. Chubb, was applied 10 CIV
eminent lands of all kinds, aud In
partial appreciation of the differeu
conditions in which various sections
of the country are found, the time
limit was lowered to three years
with the privilege of being absent
from the claim five months eact

under the amended act, to see q
acres in cultivation.
This has been felt to be burden
some in Florida as it is almost i'm
possible for a poor man to clear thai
much land. According to Mr. Chubb
it costs about 500 to clear an acre
and half that much again to get i
into trees, to say nothing about the
expense of continued cultivation. Tht
law was originally passed to aid the
poor man and in further consider
ing these premises the secretary o
the interior has issued his circular
which allows any homesteader Il
make application for reduction il
the number of acres required unde
cultivation, and if it is found tina
the application is just, the reduction
will be granted, probably to fiy'
acres in. many cases, thinks Mr.
Chubb.

A Stupendous Change In China.


The greatest single stride to-
ward democracy taken since the
United States of American threw
off the yoke of monarchial op-
preston, unless France be an ex-
ception, is that which has erect
ed a republic on the ruins of the
Chinese empire. 1t is a tremen-
dous event China has popula-
ton of 44O,OOO,0OO- greater
population than the entire British
empire. It's area is nearly 500,-
900 square miles greater than
that of the United States and all
its insular possessions. The
greater masses of its people are
in utter ignorance. knowing moth
ing of the science or principles of
government, except to obey
authority and pay taxes. There
are, however, thousands of en-
lightened Chinese, entirely cap
able of self-government Thew

Upon these modernized men
and their followers depends the

No one can prophesy what the
outcome will be, not even those
most familiar with oriental con-

taking to rescue China from the
degradation of centuries of igno-
rant, oppressive rule, and do it
peacefully. That it will be done
in time no one doubts. The day
is coming when China will take
her place among the civilized ma
tions as Japans has done. The
change in form has taken place
with startling suddeness. The
change in substance is the thing
of vital concern. The processes
through which it is to be evolved
are wholly problematical, but

IL Rests With The Governor.

II Rests With The Governor.
In his message of congratula.
tion to the Democratic majority,
the Governor cites four platform
pledges as redeemed-direct pri.
maries, bank inspection, county
unit and prison reform.
Concerning the two first men,
toned, there can be no question
that the Governors praise is
well bestowed. In the case of
number three of the redeemed
the General Assembly can with
truth be said to have taken its
medicine; that, in the majority
of instances, it was taken with a
wry face, is equally true. Wheth-
er the dose will prove as polit-
ically benficial as hoped remains
to be demonstrated. But in any
event, the Governor is well with
in the mark in his declaration
that the General Assembly, in
these three matters. has done
what it promised and Sc: out to
do.
However feature of the mes
age which is of chief interest is
that which has to do with the
Governors views on the subject
of prison reform and his attitude
toward the coordinate branches
of the State government.
preferred" says the Cover.
nor, that the prison reform bill
should be bipartisan but
when the legislative department,
without being so requested by
me, passed the prison reform
bill without the bipartisan fea'
ture * | believe it my duty
to approve
That the Governor should re-
spect the coordinate branch
of the Safe of government, was
no more than was rightly ex-
pected. That he can fail to re-
cognize that this act leaves him
absolutely free to put into effect
the bipartisan system m which, at
the beginning OF the session he
preferred. is not to be believed.
The Hamilton bill provides
for the appointment of three
Prison Commissioners. 1t in no
wise limits the Governors choice
to.members of any one political
party.
The present prison law is, AS
the Governor truly says. an i'm
provement over that which it
replaces. 1t is for the Governor
to make it conform fully to his
own and the party's pledge to
remove the prisons from politics
by appointing a nonpolitical
board. Louisville Times.
