The Florida Grower, in its report
of the state horticultural meeting at
Tampa, says: "Gaitskill, Of Mcintosh,
one of the charter members, was
there. He did not leave the hotel to
come over to town, as, he SHES at
street cars. We offered to take his
hand and lead him around, but even
this was not enough to give him con-
fidence. He still believes that Marion

worth talking about, but l think he
must shut his eyes when he steps over

The commander of the Turkish sub
marine which was run ashore by Brit
ish torpedo boats few days ago,
owed his defeat to his ideas of fair
ness in war. Overtaking a British
transport loaded with troops, he hail
ed the transport and gave the soldiers
eight minutes to get into the boats.
He lost his ship and perhaps his life,
but Americans, at least, win applaud
his chivalry and humanity.

THE NUMBER OF NEWSPAPERS

After all, the business interests of
any town have to bear the expense of
more newspapers than town can
properly support. and they should
nave voice in how many newspa pers
there should be.-Jeferson Bee.
In the end the business interests Dc.
eide how many papers there shall be
in a town. The business interests Of
the town include the subscribers to the
newspapers. The subscription list is
the basis OF the newspapers existence.
The advertising is based on the sub
scription list. And the newspaper lives
on its list and it's advertising. So in
the end the business interests control
the situation. Certain cases there are
where an angel" supplies the deficit
and newspaper continues to exist as
the plaything or tool Of some person
who is both able and inclined to pay
its losses; but that usually grows oner-

the country were unable to spell words

IN A SALOON TOWN.

washington County PfesS.J
we spent four weeks in saloon
town and you can't tell us there is no
difference between the town that has
these drink shops and the one that
does not have them. For one thing
there is a notable difference in the
odor you get from the breath of the
men you wait on over the counter.
Another difference is that at each
board meeting our county does not
pay out fees on fifty cases in the
mayors court in which the defend
ant in the majority Of the cases is
charged with intoxication. Another
difference is the appearance of the
men you meet on the street. Lots of
them carry the badge on the end Of
their nose. 1t is enough to make
person heart sick to see young men
who are to be the main stay of the
state and government within few
short years, celebrating a day like last

senses and Judgment. What is more

KINDNESS TO ANNALS.

-
1t is probable that the recording
angel never entirely loses patience
with man who is kind to animals.
One may swear. steal. lie. cheat, get
drunk, or run over strangers in ones
automobile: one may be shiftless
grabbed, naughty, narrow minded
thick skulled. and insubordinate. and
yet have a spark of nobility which ex-
presses itself in kindness to horses and
to stray cats and dogs. A man who
isn't needlessly cruel can get along
even If he lacks some OF the preten-
tious virtues.
The reason that kindness to animals
is a sure test OF PERSONS character
is that animals are generally helpless
as compared with human beings, and
don't do anything to arouse jealousy
Me. who are naturally kind many take
