ability he had already estimated and
set down in his recokning at its proper
value. But he had another purpose IN
turning his steps toward Fallen Rock
He was deliberately going back to the
cabin.
The whole Flatwoods, save one lone
little woman believed him safely
locked in the village Jail. AS long as
they believed that, he was safe, and
They would believe it till morning
After that he would have the mob to
reckon wfth-the mob and the sher-
if, and another more dangerous than
both. Tomorrow was theirs; tonight

fered the only chance for food.
With every caution to leave no
trail, he picked his way through the
woods to the edge of the bluffs. stloe
over and down toward the cabin. He
was so carefully guarding his steps
that he did not look at the cabin itself
until within a few yards of it. The
first glance at the black hulk of it,
squatted in the deep gloom under the
outstanding rocks, brought him to in
slant pause. Thefe was light within.
The windows had been covered, but a
tiny ray crept through a chink be-
tween the logs at the east end He
crouched down in the bushes to con-
slider what this unexpected circum-
stance meant before venturing another
step. 1t might be the Boss. But no;
he would not have blinded the win
dows
No sound came from the cabin. The
night was intensely still. Not an oar
stirred the river. The waterfall alone
fretted the silence. The Pearlhunter
flattened himself in the weeds and
bushes and crawled guardedly toward
that open chin kin the east wall Foot
by foot he worked his way until he
was able at last TO bring his face level
with the tiny opening. With his eye
close, the chink afforded a tolerably
clear view of the interior of the
interior of the cabin. He barely re-
strained cry at what he saw
STOPPED over the small, hair covered
trunk, his hat off, stood the Red Mask.
He had pried open the lid, and had laid
the contents of the trunk out with
seeming care in rather neat heaps
upon the floor. In his hand he held
the picture of the Iron-Gray- Woman.

matter of fact street car fares have in
effect been cut in half but not street

of wages and labor these have not been

have been doubled.
There Is not a factor IN the man

does not show greatly increased cost,

Increase in fare was necessary TO the
railroads and substantial increases
have been authorized and so when a
substantial increase is granted to the

will have cause to complain and we
do not believe that anyone will COM

AS TO STREET CAR FARES.

There is nothing in Jacksonville that
can be bought for the old time urice
except street car transportation and
there are very few cities in the Union
now where that is the same as four or
five years ago. Where permission has
been asked for an increase in rates,
almost without exception 1t has been
granted and it is presumable that it
will be granted in jacksonville as soon
as the railroad commission announces
its decision. 1t is so plain a necessity
that the city authorities have practi-
cally ceased to oppose it.
Money is called measure of value
and so we refer to the price of a thing
as not changing when the same sum of
money buys il now that has bought it
heretofore. But money itself is not
value; it is only a medium used for
the facilitation of exchange of things
that have value. A man can't eat or
wear money and if there were products
to exchange IL would be absolutely
useless
Commodities have increased in value
some more than one hundred per
cent and others less, averaging about
one hundred per cent. Wages have
increased one hundred per cent. Wages
have increased in like proportion ana
salaries have increased substantially
The average man who claims classifi-
cation in the ranks of labor could as
well afford to pay ten cents for street
car fare now as five a few years ago.
The average salaried man can as we'll
afford to pay seven or eight. The aver
age merchant is making vastly more
than he made few years ago and
the manufacturers throughout the
country are reaping harvest. AS a
matter OF fact products are in pretty
much the same proportion as they
We're in the past and earnings are in
approximately the same proportion to
products as they have BEEN. So as a

County Demonstration AGENTS.

Florida has presented a most fertile
field for the county demonstration
agent, because of it's small area of cul-
tivated lands and because new devel-
opments were being pushed in many of
the counties of the state.
In many of the counties the special
agent, working under the direction Of
the government and the county,, has
been able to work wonders and has
become the guide to all farming oper-
ations, while in other counties he has
been seriously handicapped by the
hardness of new development and by
the indifference of the farmers of the
old school, some of whom have ac-
tually opposed the county agent and
have even gone to the length of inter-
fering with his duties and activities.
The county agent is the best friend
the farmer can have and inasmuch as
he is giving his services and advice
practically free to individuals, any
farmer is very foolish not to accept
his advice and assistance, in fact if
he were wise he would cultivate the
demonstration agent and use him to
his full capacity. He could get from
the agent ADVICE anu dSS4StdHCS that
would save him much money IL he is
only receptive and willing to follow
instructions closely.
We have noticed recently that sew
eral counties announced that they
would dispense with the services Of
the county agent in an effort to re-
duce expenses, but it was with pleas
ure that we read of the vigorous pro-
test being entered by the farmers and
In every case noted the commission
ers needed the protest and requests for
the continuance of the services OF the
county agents and placed the item IN
the budget and in some cases they are
considering raising the salary of the
agent, because his expense OF travel
and his own expenses have greatly IN

wars Convention suggestion Good.
Among other constructive ideas put
forth by Perry G.. Wall at the meeting
of the Rotary Club Tuesday noon. was
the suggestion that democrats of the
state ought to hold regular conven-
tons for the discussion of state and
party problems. Mr.. Wall did not ad-
vocate that such conventions should
be for the purpose of nominating Of
ficers; merely for the discussion of
problems, but the Times is inclined TO
believe that minor state officers would
be nominated to better advantage in
a convention than in the primary,
leaving the chief officers to be named
by the people directly. 1t believes
better selections would be made. How
ever, that Is merely one of the points
the democratic gatherings might dis
cuss. If the ripe sentiment of the
state prefers primary nominations all
the way down the line. the Times has
no particular objection.
Party gatherings would do much to
draw together the sections of the

Men from north and south Florida
would find that they, as men, were not
so different from each other, however
diverse their material interests might

If there were matters in dispute they
could be threshed out and settlements
reached face to face without any fes-

a session, basing it's call on a fair rep

vention should be large enough to be

has not been dead long enough to be
