telnoOn on the Court House lawn for
the benefit of the new primary piano

training Of the supervisor, Mrs. E. l..
Mann, who was generously assisted
by Miss Dorothy Talbot and the
teachers in the work of preparation.
One thing especially might be men,

with precision and despatch with none
OF the long, tiresome waiting, GUS

men and material is being made at
this time.

to success.
There is no room for the shirker or

There has been some little eX-
preston of doubt in some quarters rs
to the loyalty of the negroes of the
United States.
We cannot imagine on what
grounds such suspicion is based other
than that of hvsteria and an imagi-
nation disordered.
The negro's patriotism and cour-
age are matters of history.
They have given practical demon
stration of their patriotism behind the
eastworks at New Orleans. Two
hundred thousand black bows donned

KILL THIS LAW.

Cats organs throughout the State
are DEFENDING the naval stores lnSpec-
tlon law on the ground that Its defeat
Is a Savannah attempt to control the
naval stores industry of Florida"
In Teauty thelr opposition is be-
cause OF the patronage It's repeal
would take from Gov. Cats, whose
aon-in-4aw is State naval stores in
spector, and whose son is his s0n-in-
laws first aid.
Whit is this naval stores inspection
law 2nd what was its purpose? 1t
was q law enacted for the benefit of
the Consolidated Naval Stores corpo-
ration of Jacksonville, and the plea
for its passage was based on the the
ory that it would hep Jacksonville
to become Il center Of the naval stores
industry.
New every true FloriLian vents to
see Jacksonville prosper. 1t is a city
we are all proud of. But no fair
minded man wants to see its prosperi-
ty purchased at the price Of injury to
other parts of the State.
Jacksonville's ambition to become a
great naval stores centre is commend
able But it should not seek to re-
alize its ambition by unfair methods.
Savannah had long been recognized
as the great naval stores centre of
the country; it is that yet. How it
became such we are not informed.
The mean feature Of this Florida
naval stores law, the repeal of which
is proposed by the legislature, lies
in the fact that it denies to men en-
gagged in the naval stores industry in
Florida the right to sell their product
in the best market.
Not in that precise language. Oh,
no. But its effect is the same 1t
requires that all spirits shall be
shipped to Jacksonville for inspection
by a State naval stores INSPECTOR.
After inspection in Jacksonville, the
operator may forward it to Savannah,
If he likes. But he doesn't like. 1t
has already cost him too much to
FREIGHT it to Jacksonville.
He is not allowed to shin direct
from his still to Savannah, where the
nrioe Of spirits hos always been a
little higher than in Jacksonville.
There ere a number If operators in
thiv State who could shin TO Savan-
nah chonpor than to Jacksonville. md
were it not for this inspection lew
they could do so and not only save on
freight cost. but could get q better
Driro for their snirits.

The Stotc Senate has refused to
confirm Gov. Cats nomination Of
Senator James E. Alexander fer cir
cult Judge Of the Seventh judicial cir
cult, the reason assigned being that
Senator Alexander is not the regular
democratic primary nominee for the
office, and democratic procedure re-
ouires th9t tie governor is to appoint
whoever the pcople nominate. The
nominee is judge james w. Perkins,
the present Judge Of the circuit. The
senate refuses to sustain the governor
in his defiance of democratic doctrine
and purpose.

Secretary of War Baker favors the
jury wheel system of choosing the
men to be first called to the colors.
This means that when any precinct is
called upon for its quota of men to
fill the first 100000 increment. the
names of all its citizens previously
registered for military duty would be
placed in q jury wheel and the re-
ouisite number drawn. Examination
of these would then be made. and for
those weeded out for physical or 9TH
er defects. an additional number
would then be drawn. This certain
ly would be a fair manner of selec-
ton, with no opportunities for favor
