Kicks Against State Plant Board

Miami, Oct. 14-F. w. Bealey
owner of a citrus grove south Of
Miami, has begun proceedings in
chancery against the state plant
board and its representatives
seeking to enjoin the agents OF
the board from entering upon his
property, and also to restrain the
plant board from prosecuting him
in the criminal court. His attor-
ney is Jas. T. Sanders. The bill
for injunction has been filed and
will be heard by Judge Branning
at some time to be named later.
A few days ago Mr.. Bealey was
arrested on "a warrant charging
him with obstructing the state
plant board by refusing to permit
its agents to go on his property
and in his groves. 1t was con-
tended that he threatened the a.
gents, and in view of this conten-
ton County Judge Barco, who
gave the preliminary hearing,
bound him over to the criminal
court for trial.
The injunction DILL just filed re-
cites the law creating the state
plant board. Bealey contends that
there is no canker or other dis
ease in his grove.
He makes the novel plea that if
the agents of the plant board, who
have previously visited other
groves that are infected with var
lous diseases, are permitted to
constantly visit his groves, the dis
eases will be disseminated and |
spread among his trees and that |
they will be ruined, to his great |
loss. He admits that he refused |
agents of plant board permission
10 enter his grove, for that reason,
and states that for that refusal he
was arrested, placed under
peace bond and held to the
criminal court under bond
The allegation is made in the
I'LL that the plant board act is il
egal, for several reasons which
ire given.-Lakeland Teleoram.

Extracts from Didactics by Sa-

bin.
"This much | have felt called
upon to say, as to what a teacher
ought to be or do. Upon the posi-
tive side of the question no little
has been written and spoken by
earnest teachers. Educational
books without number have laid
down lines along which every
good teacher ought to walk. But
notwithstanding all this mass OF
instruction furnished by books
and papers at associations, the
teacher has not as yet reached
perfection. Probably he never will
until the world enters upon the
joys of the millennium.
Under the limitations of this
life tthe best advice that can be
given is to cultivate cheerfulness
and hope; to meet difficulties one
at time; to exercise good COM
mon sense, and more than all not
to worry. Worry is killing more
teachers in America today than
all the hard work exacted from
them by rules and regulations of
the board Brain and nerves. are
consumed by worry, as the fuel is
by the fame. Take a stroll every
day in the open air; take Satur-
day for party in the woods; get
away from school and books learn
a lesson of growth from the grass
as the green appears with the
opening days of spring, of pat
fence from the rocks, which en-
dure alike the suns of summer and
the frosts of winter; of faith from
the flowers, which bloom and
scent the air today though they
perish tomorrow. The teacher
should be generous reader of
good books, but not an omnivor-
GUS reader Of everything which
falls in his way, He should be a
student, and it is often well for
the school if he is pursuing some
chosen line of reading or, investi-
CATION for his own interest. His
scholarship should lead to a de-
velopment of his powers of
thought. Allow me to say a word |
here upon a much vexed subject. |
Don't contract to teach a school |
unless you have reason to believe /
that you can adapt yourself to all |
the circumstances surrounding it. !
Take with you a spirit of self-sac-
rifice, if thereby you can benefit
your pupils.
1t is the directors duty and
business to investigate as to your
character, education and ability
before he offers to contract with
you. 1t is your business and pri-
yilege to investigate which you
will have to meet in the discharge

Weather continues warm, light
rain Sunday night.
The children's day exercises
was most excellent occasion, the
program of which was rendered
by number Of our Sunday school
ladies. The program consisted of
recitations-singly and by groups,
interspersed with songs and solos,
all of which were enjoyed immen-
sely by not only the little folks,
but by all present. Our good
ladies deserve much credit for
their much patience and unparall-
eled success in getting up and
carrying out program of this
kind. A contribution was taken
amounting to- $500.
Mrs. Anna Pratt, nee Pexa, of
Tampa, is a pleasant visitor with
her sister, Mrs. j. Lee Knight, and

We are always glad to have our
girls come back among us.
A number of our children, on
account of the congested condition
of our school are attending the
Punta Gorda school. Among them
are some of the 7th grade, the
fact of which has been referred
to in a rather misleading sense.
Lest it should misload some to
suppose our teachers are incompc,
tent to teach these grades, this
scribe and others are pleased to
say our present teachers are capa-
bic of rejecting credit on any
school of this county.-PIONEER.
