As evidencing the progressive spirit of Lakeland citizenship, no better proof could be submitted than the undertaking on the part of the mem- bers of the Methodist denomination day, having it in readiness for serv- fce at night. Such an enterprise would be out of the question in any community which was not jmbued with the spirit of doing coupled with a liberal and co-opera- tive disposition upon the part of fts citizens. Here, however, this under- taking is not regarded as formidable; on the contrary, it is looked upon as entirely practicable, and there is a tendency upon the part of all, irre- spective of denomination, to lend a hand in this lawdable wo'k Such an incident 1 Lrteresting commentary reople residing in 1o are progressive; ther are they kindly: they do thi they help one another.

Pensacoln editors are demonstrat- ing how good it is for brethren to dwell together in po:u‘t" and unity. lambright says Florida delegates to Baltimore will wear “an air of contentment.” They'll sume make a sensation if they stick to that garb. A newspaper man has no trouble in getting elected to office-—when the office is that of a delegate, and car- ries with it no cmoluments other than the privilege of paying his own expenses while delegating. Right on the heels of that terrific expose Frank Walpole purchases an automobile. Sometimes when editors throw their wealth around in that promiscuous manner some imperti- nent person asks “Where did you got i?” Mississippi prison officials are dis- cussing the importance of employing & guards for the convicts “men of Christian character.” There may be men of Christian character who would have such jobs, but they are exceptions. That kind of a job it would seem to us wouldn't appeal very strongly to a man whose Chris- tianity was very active. In a dim sort of way we see trou- ble brewing for those Georgia, Flor- 1da and Carolina negro hotel and restaurant waiters and cooks who go 1o New York city to take the places of the striking waiters and cooks there.

MILKING COWS BY ELEC. TRICITY IN NORTH CAROLINA. Charlotte, N. C., June ¢.—Paul Chatham has installed eight motor- driven vacuum milking machines at the Chatham dairy east of the city. These machines cost approximately $1,000 and when in operation will milk the herd of 125 cows in about an hour and a quarter. At present it requires eight men from two to three hours to do the work. Paul Chatham, thy owner of the dairy, figures that the new process will not only be cheaper but vastly more effi- cient and sanitary, The most potent factor of the vac- uwum milking machine is the better sanitary results obtained. The labor saving is a material factor for per- haps the greatest of al] difficulties in connection with the operation of a large dairy has been the inability of those in charge to get the herds milked at times. Fewer Men Employed. By reducing the force employed and at the same time decre sing the kours, the results would justify the expenditure if there were no other factors. Of particular interest to the public at large, however, is the fact that maching milking is cleaner than hand. The machines consist of two parts, the milk can and the milking ma- chine proper. The first simply serves as a receptacle while the second, with the vacuum appliance, draws the milk from the cow. The latter is equipped with a vacuum pump and double sets of valves, the pump be- ing operated through a crank shaft ‘l‘.\ a small electrically driven motor | There are gauges which enable the tions may shooting, gander Jousting places of white men there is trouble.

Senator Vest had been retained as the attorney of a man whose dog had It is said the plaintif demanded $200. When Vest finished speaking the jury awarded $500 without Jeav- ing their seats. The speech, in full, ic as follows: ‘“Gentlemen of the jury: The best friend 2 man has in the world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son or daugh- ter that he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our hap- piness and our good name, may be- come traitors to their faith. The money that a man has he may lose. It flies away from him, perbaps when he needs it most. A man’s reputa- tion may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees tc do us honor when success is with us may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our heads. The one ab- solutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the cne that never deserts him, the one|P that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog. Gentlemen of the jury, a man’s dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the win- try blasts blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer, he will lick the wounds and sore that come in en- counter with the roughness of the world. He guards the sheep of his pauper master as if he were a prince, When all other friends desert he re- mains. When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces he is as con- stant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens, If for- drives the master forth an out- the world, friendless and the faithful dog asks no ilege than that of accom- panying him to guard agains: dan- d . and its em- in ser, to fight azainst his eneni n when the last scene of all conu death takes the master in brace and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no macter it all oth- v friends pursue their way, there by Bis graveside will the noble dog be tound, his head between his paws, his ey ad but open in alert watch- tulness, faithful and true even to death,”-—Bulletin, THEY DON'T TALK ABOUT “WORN OUT LAND." —_— In an article in the current issue of Farm and Fireside a writer says that the farmers of Europe do not talk of worn-out land as we do in America. They take better care of their land, and, by intemsive farm- ing, make it produce more. He goeé on to say: “The American farmer has swept across the continent, leaving aban- doned farms and worn-out fields in his wake, until now we have come to the point where all our, “ltnhlo Iand~| have been occupied, lly we can no longer wear it out and gbandon it 1 We must not only mhintdin purselves on the land we hn\"* we mast main- | tain a population that wlli soon b double and treble what it now is. “Where should we look for infor- | mation it not to the countries of an | equal degree of civilization that are much older than our own and have a | much greater population in pmpor-‘ tion to their area?
