though outside this magnificent fra

goes without argument that he will

The long and short haul hearing al
Ocala this week, and which is to be
followed by another hearing at Kiss
immee, will at least give the people
of the state some insight into rail
way freight rates imposed upon all
who live between the large centers of
trade. Hon. Edwin Spencer il, of
Ocala, author of the long and short
haul bill, was present at the Ocala
hearing in behalf of the laws enforce
ment and he brought out some inter-
esting facts. In the first place he
showed by testimony of the railway
witnesses that the rate on grain from
Philadelphia to Tampa was IL cents
per hundred, while the rate on grain
from Jacksonville to Ocala was Is
cents per hundred The Seaboard
Air Lines vice president was also
made to admit that he could give no
reason why the rate on cigars from
Tampa to Jacksonville was less than
on the same goods from Tampa to
Ocala, less than half the distance.
If Spencer dosen't get an order from
the Florida Railway Commission en-
forcing this long and short haul law,
then the next thing in order will be
to abolish the commission. Few, if
any Of US, have ever seen any results
of this commission calculated to bene-
fit the people, for whose protection
the commission was instituted.

Otis R. Parker one of the comman-
ding figures in the last State legis-
lature has declined to enter the race
this year, giving as his reason that
since returning from the legislature
he "has been engaged as counsel for
the railroad company, which, from
my way of thinking, will preclude me
from accepting seat in the legisla-
ture should l be elected" This is
the coming code among all high grade
lawyers. Parker is simply the fore
runner of the new order.

RODMAN NEWS.

Our community was shocked on last
Friday morning when it was learned
that Mr.. w. T. Spencer had lost hi.
life at the mill. Mr.. Spencer was
foreman of the mill and commanded
the friendship and esteem of his fell
low employes-he had for several
years been connected with the Rod
man Lumber Co. as their foreman,
and was considered a most valuable
employee. He was man about 50
years old, leaving to mourn his death
wife and four children. His body
was prepared for interment by Pa
latka undertaken and was inferred in
the Greenwood cemetery at Ocala last
Saturday afternoon. Mr.. Spencer's
memory will always be warm to our
hearts and to the Borrowing family
we offer coincidence. E. c. Smith Of
Ocala came over Saturday and es-
corted the remains of Mr.. Spencer to
Ocala in behalf of McIver & Mckay,
undertakers.

sermonette of the week touch +
*some of the high points and prin- +
= clples that ought to hold in this +
+ work. The first point to be en- +
*phasized is the fact that this mat +
ter is spiritual, not secular. So +
+ many people feel that this is 4
+ theme that must be touched upon +
Pin whispered words lest we +
+ trench on the spiritual with the +
+ secular, that this needs to be said. +
7 and said very emphatically: That i.
+ this theme is spiritual in itself. +
t The topic is Scriptural. Nearly +
= every book in the Bible has some +
7 thing to say of it. And the +
+ Scriptures thus handling it are +
+ given by the inbreathed Spirit of +
+ God. So, here is a spiritually +
+ treated topic. Let no one call it +
+ secular, and be shocked at its i
+ open mention in the house of God. +
+ That is its rightful place. +
+ Another point: Cost has al +
+ ways been associated with the +
+ work and worship of God. 1t is +
= not the extravagant device of +
+ degenerate age. From the very 4
+ first offerings of men to God down + |
+ to tomorrow's worship, there has +
+ always been the element of cost. +
+ And this is good. 1t crucifies =.
+ seltishness, which is the Utmost + |
+ essence of sin. 1t is just. It,
+ gives back to God a bit of His + |
+ own. 1t accords with the sense of + |
+ noblest manliness. King David +
+ refused to worship God with that +
+ which cost him nothing. A man +
+ ly man wants it to cost him +
7 something to worship the God +
7 whom he loves. +
+ Again: The raising of the re- +
7 venue of the kingdom of God to Z
7 meet this cost is always tied up +
7 with His worship. God makes it +
= so. It is shown so here in the +

FARMERS
RALLY DAY.

The farmers of Putnam county ant
adjoining sections of St. Johns anc
Clay counties are not only cordially
invited, but earnestly and insistent.
ly urged to put aside their home du.
ties, if possible, and come to Palatka
on Monday, April 9Th, 1914, bringing
their wives with them, and take part
in a Rally Day Convention to be held
at the Court House, to discuss ques-
tons vital to the prosperity of our To-
cality and Florida.
Farmers of this section who are ia
miliar with local conditions will be
asked to offer their views of what is
needed in the way of doing things in
a better manner, and prominent
speakers from other parts of the
state will be present and discuss i'm
proved cropping and marketing sys-
TENS, and explain methods which are
being followed withlsuccess and profit
elsewhere.
The problem facing country life is
not only better farming but better
social and living conditions. The
time is near when men will associate
the social element with the produc-
tive value of land. Population is in
creasing very fast and the specula-
tive features must soon be eliminated
and the price of land established by
its productive value, plus its social
value. This will be largely brought
about by better roads, better farm
ing methods, better schools and
churches and more and desirable
neighbors. The young people cannot
be kept in any locality now without
the right kind of school, church and
social facilities. 1t is no wonder that
boys and girls are anxious to get
away from the country as conditions
exist today.
Farming must be made attractive
and it can be made so. The opportu-
mites for improving the quality and
the quantity of plant and
animal life are limitless. No field of
investigation, effort and profit offers
more to young men and women who
aspire to real service to the nation,
than to engage in constructive and
productive work. Farmers feed and
clothe the nation, and a nation must
be we'll fed, we'll clothed and we'll
housed to be prosperous and content
where is there a better re-
gion for farmers to get all that is
coming to them-if we'll directed eff
Tort is made-than in Florida.
The rally was suggested at the
March session of the County Commits
'ioners, during conference with the
Agricultural committee of the Palat-
"a board of trade. Commissioners a.
}. Curry and D. P. Hancock comprise
he committee of Commissioners; and
Secretary Moses Folsom, c. H. Ken
lerly, P J. Becks, F. J. Won Engelken,
\. D. Curry, j. H. Millican, Rev. J.
