a constitution under which Haiti was to be
a self-gOvernlng colony; all men were equal
before the law, and trade was practically
free. TOrlssaint was to be president for
life with the power to name his successor.
Napoleon Bonaparte, master of France,
had at this time dreams Of a great Ameri-
can empire, and replied to Toussaint' s new
government by sending twenty-five thousand
men under his brother-in.law to subdue the
presumptuous Negroes, as a preliminary
step to his occupation and development Of
the Mississippi valley. Fierce fighting and
yellow fever decimated the French, but
matters went hard with the Negroes, too,
and Toussaint finally offered to yield. He
was courteousy received with military
honors and then as soon as possible,
treacherously seized, bound and sent to
France. He was imprisoned at Fort Joux
and died, perhaps Of poison, after studied
humiliations, April 7, 1903.
Thus persisted the greatest of American
Negroes and one Of the great men Of all
time, at the age of ffty.six. A French
planter said, 'FGod in his terrestrial globe
did not commune with a purer spirit
The treacherous killing of Toussaint did
not conquer Haiti. In 1902 and 1903 some
forty thousand French soldiers died of war
and fever. A new colored leader, Dessa-
lines, arose and all the eight thousand re-
naming French surrendered to the bloclzad-
ing British fleet.
Thus IN 1901 Haiti became free and
independent nation; but the inhabitants
wee, it must be remembered, chiefly iliterate
slaves without capital or experience. They
began a long struggle to secure their in
dependence and achieve prosperity Des-

was succeeded in 1906 by Potion and Chris
tophe The latter had been among the
Haitian soldiers who helped the Americans
against the British at the siege Of Savan-
nah. while the former was a staunch and
effective ally of the South American revo-
lutionists Potion died in 1918 and Chris
topic the following year. They were sue
ceeded by Boyer who became ruler not only
of Haiti but Of Santo Domingo from 1922
to 1943. He gained recognition for Haiti
from France United States and Great
Britain and arranged concardat with the
Pope. He finally resigned in 1843.
The subsequent history of Haiti since
1843 has been the struggle of small di-
vided country to maintain political indie
pendence The rich resources OF the coun-
try called for foreign capital, but outside
capital meant political influence from
abroad which the little nation rightly
feared Within the old antagonism OF the
freedman and the slave settled into color
line between the mulatto and the black,
which for time meant the difference be-
tween educated liberalism and reactionary
ignorance This difference has largely dis
appeared but some vestiges of the color line
remain. The result has been reaction and

with a view Of Offering every induce
ment to Graves Brothers Company in
establishing a saw mill here in the
near future. He said 25 years ago
Messrs. Graves were log and lumber

Mcintyre; now they are rated in the
millionaire class. They are among the
most successful mill men in the south
made this great wealth logging and

years they operated turpentine in adj
vance for cutting the timber for the
mill. They intend to erect modern
saw mill with latest improved machin-
cry with a capacity of $4,000 feet
daily. They wish to trestle Croker
river and haul logs in by rail, and not
depend o nthe tides and wind. but let
steam tIot them in on record time.
The largest tract of timber in a solid
body is to be cut at the mill here.
With many millions of feet of fine
timber leading 20 miles west, 16 miles
north and rs miles east, gives Cara
belle the distinction OF having the
most merchantable timber of any
town in middle Florida. within easy
reach OF it, and viii furnish ample logs.

with deep water at our door, the
splendid railroad facilities, the system
of river, creeks and many water
courses that are teeming with fine
timber, we have every advantage and
can in few years grow in to our
own, and make city that will make
any of US proud Of the fact we reside
here said Mr.. Sanborn.
Now, fellow citizens, get the spirit,
throw out the life line and make
strong pull; offer every inducement
for this enterprise. 1t will bring more,
put muchs taxable property on the
tax books, will mean better sidewalks,
streets and good roads. Having spent
this week trying to adjust an obstacle
in order TO assist in getting this en-
terprise, let everyone rally to the
rescue and pull for Carrabelle. She
has superior advantages that should
be developed.
Eliminate that element that thinks
we are all we will ever be. Watch this
