whole to be under the supervision of
the road districts. thus relieving the
county of this burdensome task.
The first district so laid out was
the Dunnellon district. composed of
Dunnellon. Romeo, Cater and part

thousand dollars, payment Of the in

WHY TIE NEGROES ARE LEAV-
ING The SOUTH

Prof Motion, successor to Booker
Washington head Of the Tuskeegee
Institute, in letter to the New York
Herald, says the Clearwater Sun, says
that the migra lion northward was on
account Of the fear Of lynching in the
south and not on account Of better
employment at higher wages But ev-
erybody knows that the higher wages
were the inducement to the negroes,
just as they were to thousands OF
white men who have gone north to
find work.
Clearwater alone has the record
of having lost the citizenship of more
white men than negroes on this ac-
count.
The south does not lynch negroes
wholesale. 1t lynches only the few
among them who commit horrible
crimes. and who are menace to their
own race as well as to the whites.
They are not lynched unless one is
found who does not deserve 10 live,
and the decently behaved negro is SAT
err nowhere than in the south There
is not in the south a white man with
red blood in his veins who would not
protect a law-abiding negro from APP

MExlcANs TO CONTROL LANDS

Mexico has adopted new constitution and has ratified the same. Last Sunday elections were held and Carranza chosen president by a large majority The vote cast is the avieSt one ever known in Mexico. Through out the republic, so far as known, the election was regular and or deriy.
 The new constitution is liberal but it tends to keep ownership of all lands in the hands of Mex jeans as is evidenced by the fol- lowing section:
 Only Mexicans, by birth or naturalization, and Mexican com panies, have the right to acquire control of lands, waters, and their accessories, or to obtain concessions for exploiting mines, water, or combustible minerals in the Mexican Republic. The government may concede the same right to foreigners, provid ed always that they agree be- fore the secretary of foreign re-
 
 as nationals with res pect to such property, and not to invoke pro- tection of their home govern ments for anything relating to it, under penalty of forfeiting to the nation whatever they may have expended on their conceS- sionS. In belt 100 km. (6O miles) wide along the frontiers and 50 km. wide along the sea- coasts, foreigners may not ac- quire property in lands or waters under any preteXt.
 W. Commercial corporations issuing shares may not acquire, possess. or operate rural estates. Such corporations. which are formed to exploit any manufac- turing, mineral, or petroleum industry, or for any other non industrial purpose, may acquire, possess, and operate lands only to the extent which may be strict ly necessary for the installation and performance of their in dicated objects, as determined by the executive of the nation, or of the states, as the case may be.-Messenger.
