and the same is probably true OF
other important literature which
the experiment station is unable
to keep in print because of limited
funds.
1t seems that the director of the
station finds it difficult to get
enough money to keep the most
called for literature in print; and
the legislature should provide
sufficient money for the demands
of our agricultural and hortical-
tural interests in this respect.
The information contained in
the bulletins on fungus diseases
and control of scale and whitetly
and possibly in other documents
now out of print is too valuable to
be lost and it is hoped that pro-
vision may be made for republish-
ing them and keeping them in
print. The difficulty, it is said, is
not one of compiling or of getting
these bulletins ready for the print
er, but it is a lack of money with
which to pay for the printing.
We hope that the matter of pro-
viding for the needs of our agrl-
cultural experiment station as
mentioned, will receive the atten-
ton merited at the hands of the
legislature.

Money Needed

Amongst other important mat
ters that merit consideration by
the legislature is the need Tor
money by our agricultural expert
ment station to carry on Its work
more effectively.
Information comes to us through
citizen of this city, who sought
information on the San Jose scale,
that important bulletins on the
subject are out of print. The San
Jose scale attacks and destroys
peach and other fruit trees.
Prof. Rolls of the experiment
station, made Investigations some
years ago which lead to the dis
covery of fungus that destroys
the scale. Bulletins were publish
ed giving full information on the
use of fungus and other remedies
for combating tie scale. These
bulletins cannot now be obtained,

The Home Town

People seldom stop to consider
how much their town means to
them. They take it too much fer
granted, and in counting up their
blessings make superficial lnven-
tory that fails to credit the source
from which many of their dearest
benefits flow.
Traced to their source, most OF
life's blessings will be found to
have their rest in that aggregation
of human beings and human inter-
ests known as town. The town
is the unit of modern civilization
and is the channel through which
civilization confers its benefits.
There is scarcely phase OF civ
ilization that does not find direct
and specific expression in the life
and organization Of town that is
large enough to have q school, a
library, a bank, a church, a news
paper, railroad station, etc.
Representing education, litera-
ture, finance, religion, and the
speedy distribution of intelligence
and commodities, these institu-
tions express all that's highest and
best IN human achievement.
If civilization is good, then the
home town is good and the citizens
should be proud and thankful of
| it. Instead of casting wondering
and envious glances at distant
metropolis let us glow with pride
for our own little city, realizing
that the difference is only one of
degree and not of kind.

State Senator Jno. p. Stokes of
Escambia county, will introduce a
bill in the coming session of the
legislature to fix the liability of
firms and corporations engaged
in the telegraph business in GER
tain cases and to declare illegal
and void certain stipulations and
provisions in contracts exempt
ing such persons, firms and corpo-
rations from liability in certain
cases. There is just grounds for
the enactment of such a law in
this state. AS it is now, if tele-
gram summoning you to the bed
side IF a loved one who is serious
ly i'll is unnecessarily delayed or
not delivered and your loved one
should die and be buried without
your knowledge, although you
suffer the most poignant grief,
you cannot hold the telegraph
company responsible in damages
for its neglect of duty. Yet if the
telegram related to hog and be.
cause of the company's neglect OF
duty you lose the sale of the hog,
you could hold the company re-
sponsible in damages. This is an
Injustice and defect in our laws,
which Senator Stokes seeks tC
remedy, and we hope that he will
succeed.

It may be that The HERALD was
a little too severe in its recent
criticism of the railway mail clerks
but we were exasperated at the
repeated delays in the transmits
sion of important letters and pack
ages and the miscarriage of GER
tain pieces of mail which should
lhave been delivered In Fort Myers
;the same day they were dispatched
from here. Itappears from state
anents in other newspapers that all
The mail clerks are overworked
through the false economy OF the
late republican postmaster general
Frank III. Hitchcock, who seems
to have been the one at fault
instead of the mail clerks.
Amongst other things it is
stated that on the routes In the
upper part of the state and those
leading into Florida the mails are
SO heavy that the limited number
of clerks handling same are un-
able to work them up before com,
pleting their runs, and these mails
are dumped onto the clerks dowr
this way to be worked up and SEN
back to their proper destinations
oyertaxing the employees and re
sulting in unsatisfactory service
II Is evident that more mail clerk
and bigger and better cars ar
needed.

Referring to the proposed abol-
ishment of the convict lease sys-
tenn in Florida, the Kissimmee
Valley Gazette asks, "Isn't there
in Florida some statesman who can
introduce a system that will be at
once humane and correctiveW
We answer that the convict farm,
as suggested by the late b. f..
McLin while commissioner of
agriculture, for which the state
has already bought $4,000 acres
of land in Bradford county, is the
best plan yet suggested. Com
missioner McRae in his biennial
report recommends that money be
appropriated from the hire of the
convicts to provide the necessary
buildings for the farm. The
fame, which the Valley.Gazettt
says awaits the man who will sug
gest plan that will serve the de
sired purpose, will come to these
men when the farm as proposed
and favored by them is developed

Some of the citizens of the

Only one official, the county super.

so paid; the others are paid by

oreoate seven to ten thousand
