A BILLION A YEAR IN BUILDINGS.

How many people. if called on for
an estimate, would imagine that over
a billion dollars go into building oper-
atoms in the United States in normal
year.
Yet although 1t is not generally
known, 1t is fact that that tremend-
GUS expenditure is made in the erection
of buildings for business, industrial
and home purposes, every twelve
months when the country is enjoying
ordinary prosperity
Taking the figures for only fifty-siy
cities, Bradstreet reports that for the
ten months ending October 81 the ex-
penditures on building operations ag-
gregated nearly $6O5,000,0OO.
When one thinks of the innumerable
other cities, towns and villages, it is
apparent that billion dollars would
hardly cover the monies paid out for
this class of improvements in this
country this year.
Such facts as this give us a better
insight into the tremendous scale. in
the aggregate. on which business is
conducted in the United States. We
wondered when we reached the point
of a Billion Dollar Congress-" but
the time has passed when the people
gasp at the thought of any class of
perations reaching that astounding to-
tai
\ billion or more dollars every year
going into buildings is but the reflex
Of the onward sweep of the countrys
development. 1t is, after all, but an
average of ten dollars for every in
habitant Of the country At the rate
the country is filling up, at the rate the
people are calling for more and better
homes, the time is not far distant
when the expenditures along this line
viii be double what they are to-day.
And all Of this vast sum gees into
domestic channels. for labor, for
lumber, for steel, for cement, for hard
ware, and for the numerous other pro
ducts Of home manufacture that enter
into the various classes of buildings.

BOOZE ALWAYS PLAYS IT'S PART,

There have been four homicides In
Sumter county in the past two or three
years in which the parties involved
we're white men.
In each of these four cases Booze"
was a prime factor, if not the prime
factor, in the killing.
Either the man who did the killing
was under the influence of liquor or
the man who was killed was intox-
seated or half so.
1t is the same all over the country
If the exact statistics could be had
1t would probably be found that in the
vast majority of cases had it not been
for the use of whisky by one or the
other, or both, of the actors in such
tragedies, there would have been no
killing.
The man who does not fill himself
up with whisky, inflaming his passions,
destroying his self-control, is not very
apt to take the life of another, al
though. it is sad to say, the man who
does not drink is all too often the
victim of the man who does.
Sometimes the man who does not
drink is forced in self protection to
Stay the man who does, but these
cases are not as numerous as the 9TH
ers.
Whisky lies at the base of most of
tie murders committed in this coun-
t.y, the crime record of which is a
national disgrace and the horror of
G. ilization.
Drunkenness is no excuse for such
ines. or for any crime The maudlin
sentiment that excuses a man because
re- was drunk is rapidly passing away
A man has no right to get drunk to
legin with, and if he does get drunk
he should be held to rigid account
for all that he does while in that con-
dition.

A DISGRACE TO FLORIDA

The execution of the negro murder
err Anderson, at Tampa, last Friday
was a disgrace to the state of Florida
and a reflection on the civilization of
the community in which the execution
took place.
In Georgia there is no pandering to
the vicious curiosity of a mob when
legal execution takes place. The wit
nesses of executions are limited to the
few required by law But down in
Florida such an occasion seems to be
converted into a half-gala day, on
which the multitude rapturously en-
joys the rare spectacle of beholding a
human being dangling at the end Of a
rope and expiating his crimes.
In its account of the execution of
Anderson the Tampa Tribune says;
"Andersons hanging was witnessed
by one of the largest crowds that has
ever gathered within the walls of the
Jail and by people who sought every
vantage point ON the top of the wall
and the buildings and trees beyond. 1t
was an orderly crowd. For an hour
before Anderson was led from his cell
these people had been pouring in
through the gate, edging their way TO
the scaffold, and there standing talk
ing to one another.
Long before the gates were opened
for the admission of those who held
tickets, the street outside was packed
until ii was almost impossible for the
cars to pass by. Ladders had been
secured and with these men, both
white and black, scaled to the top of
the wall where they sat through the
execution. In like manner the roofs Of
the surrounding houses were seen
alive with people, and every window
that overlooked the Jail yard had its
quota of eager onlookers. Even top
wagons had been pressed into service
by those who were without cards OF
admission in an effort to see over the
Jail wall"
The sooner the state of Florida does
away with such scenes as this the
better for its own good name. Its
citizens who do not glory in such pic
lures, and surely they must be in the
great majority, ought to inaugurate
movement at once to forever put an
end to such scenes as that depicted in
the Tampa papers.

DECREASED DEATH RATE.

The increase in population during recent years has been due to the de- creased death rate. This has resulted directly from the application of sci ence to medicine and hygiene and in directly from the improved conditions of living which science has made pos sible. In all civilized countries the birth rate is now smaller than the death rate was formerly But the death rate cannot decrease indefinite ly; it has. indeed. possibly reached in Great Britain d lower level than can be maintained. death rate of IS per 1000 in a stationary population means that the average length of life is over sixty years, and. as one fourth of those who die are under years of age. the average age at death of those surviving infancy would be about so years. Odd as it may ap- pear at first sight. the decreased death
