HUNT BEGUN FOR THE SHIP
Commission of Inquiry, Headed by
Gen. Frank Mcintyre, on Board

$50 marines and the United States
commission aboard, was last heard
from on October 2 o: the coast OF
Santo Domingo, whittier it had been

there and interfere if American or for,
eign interests were endangered. Act.
Ing Secretary Beckman Winthrop has
sent urgent dispatches to all stations
in Santo Domingo and Haiti, seeking
for information of the vessels where,
abouts.
The commission of inquiry on board
the Prairie includes Brigadier Gen.
raj Frank Mcintyre, chief of the insu-
lar bureau of the war department and
W. T. S. Doyle, head of the Latin
American division of the state de-
partment. The last word heard from
the vessel was dispatch from Gen.
eral Mcintyre, on October 2, that the
vessel would proceed along the north
coast of the island republic and would
leave October 6.
The long silence has created con
siderable uneasiness in official circles,
although it is hoped the Prairie has
merely passed out of touch of cable
stations and will soon report. The
vessel is commanded by Commander
A. H. Scales, and, besides the force
of marines, carried a considerable
crew.

HEAVY MOVEMENT OF
GRAPEFRUIT FROM FLORIDA
One Over Hundred Cars Have Been
Shipped Up to
Bate.

Miami-The movement of grape,
fruit during the past two weeks has
been heavy, there having been more
than 100 cars shipped to the North
ern markets. 1t is claimed that grape
fruit in Dade county is more mature
than fruit grown farther north and
that the demand is strong, yet it is
the opinion of many of the packers
that it is better not to ship heavily
for the next week or so, as there are
great quantities being sent to the mar
kets from other portions of the state.
So far the growers in Dade county
have received very satisfactory prices.
Grapefruit in Dade county can be held
on, the trees late in the season, as
there is no danger of the crop being
destroyed by a freeze, while IN many
other portions of the state the grow
ers hurry their fruit to the markets
as early as possible to avoid loss from
cold. The orange crop is not matur
ing as early as usual, very little yet
showing color. There are very few
Satusuma oranges grown in this Sec
ton, but the few that are grown are
showing color and are in fine condi.
tsOn for consumption.

State Auditor Ernest Amos announces
in his annual report that majority of the
county officials of the state will retire
from office at the close of the year TO
make room for new men. OF those
who are to retire he makes honorable
mention of two because of their long
and faithful service; they are Capt.
Parkhill and Col. Partridge, county
clerk and treasurer respectively of Jeffer-
son county. No one of the present
generation can remember the time
when Capt. Parkhill was not in the
public service, but the "insolence of Of
flee" was never part of the price he
paid for that service He was always
the courteous gentleman and the ac-
curate official and the place was his as
long as he desired to stay by unanimous
consent. Col. Partridge, if our memory
serves US right, while long in office,
had not SO many years TO his credit as
Capt. Parkhill, though like the captain
his efficiency and popularity were the
twin screws that fastened him TO the
office as long as he desired TO hold on.
Both are OF the old guard, who have
served their day and generation and
left records of public service and patri-
otto citizenship which will be held up
as worthy of emulation long after they
have passed 10 their reward. They
were "heroes in the strife" not alone
in the Confederacy, but in the work of
uprooting carpet-bagism in Florida, as
we'll as in the moral conflict which is
steadily being waged by men who
would leave the world little better
than they found it, May they both
have many happy years OF usefulness in
the latter field.

VIDE THE GREEN
FRUIT LAW.

Commissioner of Agriculture McRae
is doing all he can TO enforce the i'm
mature fruit laws. He has now more
than one case in the courts in his eff
forts TO have the laws enforced. Mr..
MCRac, referring to the decision OF
Judge Whitney of the Tenth Judicial
Circuit in the case OF A. B. Williford
of Arcadia and his future attitude in the
matter for enforcement of the immature
citrus fruit laws said:
"Thc decision of Judge Whitney,
Judge of the Tenth Judicial Circuit,
would make it a contempt OF his court
for an Inspector or anyone else TO seize
samples of fruit in the jurisdiction OF
his court. This decision of Judge
Whitney may or may not be upheld by
the supreme court But the decision
has been made nevertheless, and ii is a
people are Standing TO protect them
selves in the shipping of immature
oranges.
81 have given the inspectors inStruc-
lions to go 10 all the packing houses,
ana II lhCy are -uenled entrance, ana
denied samples of fruit, which request
will be made in the presence of wit
neSScS, then to at once make to me a
full report as outlined to them in such
cases, which said report will be duly
certified TO the proper prosecuting of
ficer in the district. With the excep
ton OF small percentage of fruit, the
bulk OF the oranges are immature and
very sour. | intend to keep up this
work until November 5th, and all VIC
latorS of the law, SO far as am able,
will be duly reported for prosecution.
The state needs a good immature
fruit law. If the one we have is not
sufficient, the enforcement of same will
show whatever weakness there may be
in it, and the next Legislature will be
better enabled 10 pass a better and more
perfect law.
The one unfortunate thing | find
in looking into the immature citrus
fruit question is this: Everyone knows
il is wrong to ship immature fruit. All
have so declared. In the final analysis
it comes out that ii is only wrong for
the other fellow to ship. 1t is the other
fellows fruit that is immature"

"Take heed to myself, and keep
thy soul diligently, lest thou forget
the things which thine eyes have
seen, and lest they depart from thy
heart all the days of thy life. ~
Deut. 49,
Last week the last words of this
verse, "but teach them, thy sons, and
thy sons sons" were first. Now
the first are last. Then our empha-
sis was on the duty of parental in
struction of children. Now the en-
phasis shifts TO the fitness of parents
10 teach.
Parents should make il a point 10
fiji themselves to teach their offspring
the truths of God. The plain truth
is that no parent is fully fit TO be
parent who is not fitted 10 discharge
the obligation. If we can know the
scientific technique of teaching,
well. If we can know child pSy-
chology and pedagogic principles,
well. But most parents receive no
such training. And, yet, you may
be most effective in teaching. If you
really love God, love His truth and
love your child, you'll find way TO
tell your child these truths. And
that is the way in which God would
have you go. He emphasizes for
you not the science, but the sub
stance of teaching. The first thing
He asks of you is the first thing He
asks of every teacher, presbyter or
bishop: Take heed TO thySelf."
And that means not merely your
manners or your person Though
these are not TO be despised), but
your soul. Take heed to myself
and keep thy soul diligently" Dill
gently culture your soul, that out of
its rich fruitage you may impart 10
your child.
Again, here is keeping grip OF
Gods teachings in order TO teach.
God has been showing things 10
thine eyes, lodging them in thine
heart, as the very spring of thy being.
Hast thou seen and felt? Then be-
ware, lest in the toll that wears and
the cares that cumber thou forget
these lofty teachings, and lest they
depart from thy heart. Oh, hold fast
those great things that God, in
thousand ways, has taught you. Let
God add TO them. And then, with
tenderness Of heart and consistency
of character, teach thy sons and thy
sons sons" Keep the store rich and
large in order TO teach well. In one
of her "PanSy" books Mrs. Alden
makes one of her Four Girls at
Chautauqua, say, "You can't live
skinned milk and teach cream. "
If you, parent, would teach highly
you must live highly.
Prayer: Aid us, our Father, 10
be consistent, diligent and earnest in
being and doing for our children
that they and we may be Thine.
Amen! ]. M. b.

What State Editors are
Saying.
A General Good Roads System

A General Sood NoadS oystem-
Kissimmee Gazette: The Tampa
Tribune, standing sponsor for the
Stringer proposition TO bond the State
for fifty millions for good roads, wants
to know when the Gazette thinks the
people will be ready for the Stringer
proposition, If not now. The Tribune
may have the Gazette'S answer briefly:
Never.
The Gazette is opposed TO the plan
first on principle, next for the reason
that if there were no other objections to
il the idea does not appear TO be well
considered or matured nor the best that
might be devised for building system
of good roads through the State.
The principle upon which the Gazette
bases its objection to the proposition as
a whole is the concentration of the ex-
penditure of such vast sum OF money
in the hands OF few men, as the case
would necessarily be with bond issue;
moreover, for the same reason and con.
comitantly, the selection of routes and
other details would entrain an endless
series of evils by the same centraliza'
ton. If there was ever an instance
where dissatisfaction and charges OF
graft and favoritism and politics did not
enter into the working out of any public
improvement of this character we con-
feSs that it is quite unknown 10 us.
Witness the road building case in New
York, and recall other public work oil
similar character.
A system of hard roads can be bull
in Florida without issuing fifty million
dollars worth of bonds, and we conf
IDENTIFY expect 10 see the next session oil

the fact that although the Federals

Confederates' loss was only GAL. This
was followed by the presentation Of
