Not Above Angels

We are not the wonderful people
we Americans-of the traditions, the
songs and stories we cultivate and
revere. Indeed, we are frauds to a
greater or lesser extent. Our sham
and make-believe qualities are reveal
ed by what we call the little things
of life.
Even in this classification is our
weakness displayed. For example
take blackberries. They have been
most plentiful this season. In fact
there has been a glut of all forms of
fruit. Yet in the cities, within a few
miles of the localities where the sur,
plus is rotting on the bush, anxious
householders are denied a pitifully
small supply. Prices are prohibi-
tive.
Any community of men and women
which cannot secure enough to eat
in the midst of plenty is organized
faulty. Stray ours and sparrows do
not suffer under this reproach. Our

To Correspondents.

Last week the Herald advertised
for correspondents at various places
in the territory covered by this paper.
As result, this week letters were
received from Sparkman and Cleve-
land, but both were too late for pub
LEGATION this week. The letter from
Cleveland was unsigned. If the par
ty who sent this letter will write,
giving his or her name, the Herald
will be glad to print the matter sent
in and will be glad to receive a
weekly letter, but no matter. how
ever innocent in appearance, will be
printed unless the author is known.

just come of age. The only thing
for them to do is 10 register.
1t is fairly safe to judge the future
by the past unless there are indica-
tons to show to that the rules which
have governed the past will nUl sov-
ern the future. The negroes have
almost quit voting in Florida but we
cannot judge this year by other Ie-
cent years because we know that
negroes by the thousands are regis
tering and paying their poll taxes
They have lodges which refuse them
admission unless they bring tnelf
registration certificates and poll tax
receipts with them. Well, the negro

GOOD ADVICE.
Newcomers to Florida. Should Use
Their Common Sense.

Now and then newcomer to Flor
ida complains that he is not getting a
square deal. He finds that persons
who have something to sell ask too
big a price. Land he thinks is held
for more than il Is worth. If he
wants to go into business he is re-
quired to pay somebody a high figure
10 get out of his way.
All this is true here just about to
the extent that it is true of every
other live community. The remedy
is in the hands of the newcomer. and
! If he exercises good judgement, a
little patience and forbearance, and
does not expect too much, every
thing will come out right.
The man who comes here to 90 in
TO business or conduct a farm should
understand that conditions are wholly
different from those in the locality
from which he came. The first task
is to learn these conditions. He
should go slow. He should neither
wholly trust nor distrust the strang-
'iS WYNN nc lllttIS, Dul use MS own
Judgement He should not jump at
conclusions.
Because a thing is done differently
here is no sign it is done wrong.
Iowa crops will not grow in Florida,
any more than Florida crops will
grow in Iowa New England farm
methods will not do here. To sue
coed on the soil the settler must
adapt his aims and methods to Flor
ida. 1t is the same in every other
department.
Nobody would think of gCing from
Florida to Milwaukee, buying bust
ness stand over night, and entering
at once on a profitable career. He
would figure that they do things diff
frently there and he would stay there
long enough to learn the difference
Florida is a land of opportunities.
But that does not mean that gold
nuggets are lying around loose.
Here, as everywhere, opportunities
must be improved by hard labor and
good common sense. The promise is
held out to those who will come and
help to build up the state by develop
ing its resources that they can har-
vest rich reward, and the facts
abundantly justify that promise.
Experience has shown that the longer
a settler stays here the better salts
fled ne is with his situation.
What more can any reasonable
person demand.-Lakeland Telegram.

WOMEN SHOULD REGISTER
Times-Union Says. Florida. Women
Must Shoulder Responsibility.

Everybody has heard that when an
ostrich is pursued by an enemy he
sticks his head in the sand and
thinks he is hidden, says the Times
Union. He can't see his pursuer and
thinks his pursuer can't see him
We always doubted whether this was
true or not but it may be The os-
trich is built with no more room for
brain in proportion to size than a
man would have if he had a hickory
nut on the top of his neck, and it may
be that he hasn't as much sense as
the average American citizen when
chased by drives.
But if the ostrich is as foolish as
represented he is not proper model
for the imitation of the white people
of Florida. A situation confronts
the people of this state and they
should face it; they can't avoid it by
initiating the ostrich The women
have been enfranchised and many of
the white women, we think probably
the majority of the white women in
Florida, did not wish the ballot A
large number of these will probably
show their disgust not only by re-
naming away from the polls but al
so by refusing to qualify as voters.
But we are confident that no such
reluctance to vote will be found
among the negro women. Announce
ment has been made that women will
not have to pay poll tax this time as
prerequisite to voting and the deci-
sion is just one in view of the fact
that the poll tax to be paid this year
is for last year and the year before
and during those years the women
could not vote. 1t is as if they have

A process has been perfected wh!Ci.
will produce a fine sy"up from cane
of whatever vTriety, and grown Oh
w atever type of soil, witch is uni
form in appearance and quality, and
which will neither ferment nor crys-
tillize, thus making it possible for
the first time to place on the market
a product which is standard, stable

ditions, as well as free from chemical
or other admixtures and impurities.
This is the Gilbert-Stevens process,
which was installed and operated dur
ing the past season in the mill of the
Duval Farm Products Company, near
Jacksonville.
The Gilbert-Stevens process is not
new invention or innovation of
method. but simply the logical ana
scientific application of wellknown
chemical and mechanical principles,
using special forms of apparatus, the
general types of which are in common
use. This process takes up the ques-
ton of eliminating the various i'm
purities step by step, using in each
case the chemical or mechanical
method best adapted for the special
result desired, each stage OF the pro-
cess being throughly under the con-
troll of the operator, and its progress
noted by constant laboratory test:
thus it becomes a scientific technical |
operation instead Of guesswork |

We wish to correct the errors that
were published in last weeks issue of
the News-Budget regarding the fire in
the Heubner Meat Market In place
of thirty rifles there were only three.
one belonging to each brother, which
were merely used for hunting purposes.
Canned goods kept in connection with
the market caused the explosion dur
ing the fire. which some of the less
wise, thought was stored up ammllni-
ton.
The Heubner brothers have been in
business here for several years, always
giving the people their moneys worth
and q square deal. The public, in gen
eral, feel the loss of such a nice. clean,
sanitary meat market and people are
glad TO know that they intend to open
up another market in the near future.

GROUND PINES AND
MOSS BRING REVENUES

An enterprising man named Thayer
has made from the Ladysmith station
the first two shipments on an order
for forty tons of ground pine, which
is pretty little evergreen which grows
about a foot high in these northern
woods. 1t is used by florists and 9th
ers for decorative purposes and re-
tains its freshness for long time af-
ter being gathered.
The evergreen is baled. like hay or
paper. for shipment. The shipments
from here have gone to Indiana. In
dams from the reservation to the
north gather it.
1t may be news to some that moss
in large quantities has been shipped
out of this county to be used by flor
lists, and it is said that one shipper
paid for a forty-One acre tract of land
from the returns from sales of moss.
