His Fine Contract.

Giorgio Polacco's brilliancy as reveal

main OF business il one may judge by
4 story told by AlgernOn St John
BrenOn. Mr.. POlaccO was approached on
one occasion by Milanesc agent offer

Polacco named a certain price as re
Enumeration. The engagement. how
ever, fell through, as Mr.. Po&&eo had
to 90 elsewhere. The next season the
same agent asked Mr.. Polacco his terms
again and for the same city. Mr.. Po-
lacco named them. The agent, acting
with a certain CELEBRITY, asked Mir. PO-
lacco TO sign then and there This was
done, and Mr.. POlacco took his contract
home to his wife. The latter read IL.

SEABOARD EXCURSIONS

On next Saturday the Seaboard
Air Line will run an excursion to
Fernandina, Pablo Beach and Atlantic
Beach, and the exceptionally attrac-
tive rates from Ocala to all three
points will no doubt be taken advan-

visit the seashore for a few days. The
rate from OcaIa is only $1.50 for the
round trip, and tickets are good for
return on all regular trains the fol-
lowing Tuesday.
On Monday they will sell round
trip tickets with a three-day return
limit for Jacksonville, at S1.50. The
special features of this trip will be
the big labor day doings at Pablo

Mr.. Mailman Branting, an editor

Sweden, who returned recently to
Stockholm after a trip of five weeks
in the warning countries, said in an

least another year. ''The burden of
the war;" he said, "is being borne
with great patience by the people ev-
erywhere. The English probably look

side in England. In Germany and
France there is no talk about peace
at all. The Germans contend that they
are fighting for their national ex-
istence, and in such case there is no
use figuring on a possible time limit.
The French, on the other hand, aver
that they will not give the slightest
thought to peace until their country
has been cleared of the obnoxious in
vaders."

OLD DOMINION SETS
A GOOD EXAMPLE

In the midst of the torrent of abuse
and recrimination set free by the
Frank case, it is refreshing to read
the following from the Columbia
State:
Stuart Speaks for Virginia
At the conference of governors in
Boston, Governor Stuart of Virginia
said: "Virginians stood first, last, and
all the time for a rigid enforcement
of the law. The men of the South had
some problems which were peculiarly
their own and they of Virginia liked
to think they were meeting them"
When Stuart so spoke he spoke
truly for the Virginians. Although
there are more than 100000 negroes
in Virginia and more than twenty
counties having negro majorities, not
a lynching has occurred in that state
in twenty years.
Some years ago the wealthy mayor
or ex-mayor of a Virginia city was
accused of murder. He was tried
convicted and executed. A wealthy
young man, son of a banker, in an
other city, killed his young wife. He
was convicted and executed. A party
of mountaineers, well-to-do, shot up
a court and killed the judge and two
or three other officers. Two of them
were executed, after trial, and others
were sent to the penitentiary.
In Virginia there is one law fol
rich and poor. Is any man in South
Carolina fool enough to say thai
womanhood in Virginia is not pro
tected? Who is fool enough to set VI
the South Carolinans as a people
superior to the people of Virginia il
chivalry or courage or other virtues
Not in Virginia has a lynching oc

The Star is informed that Shorty
Davidson, who was implicated in the
murder of w. C. Sellers, the A. C. L.
agent at High Springs nine years
ago, and who after two long and ex-
pensive trials was sentenced to the
penitentiary, has been pardoned. This
is an outrage on the people of Alach-
ia county and the entire state. We
wonder how the governor and other
members of the pardoning board can
excuse themselves for participating
in such a rank swindle on justice.

CINCINNATI. April l3.-The national
base ball commission here yesterday
reversed the ruling of the national
board in disailowing the salary claim
of Player T.. NJ. Hemingway OF the 81.
Louis Americans against the Nashville
club of the Southern League. and d-
rected the latter club to send its check
for Sl3l.50 to the secretary of the com
mission for transmission to the player.
Hemingway. who refused TO accom-
pany the Nashville club on one OF its
trips. claiming illness, was suspended
for insubordination. The commission
says il cannot approve the suspension
of a player for insubordination whose
refusal to accompany his team on a
trip is due to illness which confines
him to his room. and says further the
Nashville clubs arbitrary course with
the player was unjustified and operated
to a disadvantage to the St Louis club
to whom the player had been released
while under suspension, AS well the
player himself.
