AR B T Inverness is a picturesquely beau- tibful ‘place, but it will not be con- sidered as a rival for the honor of being termed the State’s commercial metropolis as long as all stores are closed by the signal now used—the ringing of a cow-bell. Miss Clem Hampton, director and nanager of the National Educational Association of the United States, has issued a very neat folder containing information relative to rates, etc, to Chicago for the National Educa- tional Association which will be held July 6 to 12 in that city. The Jocal committees of Chicago have provided n;uny social features for the enter- tainment of those attending the con- vention. “Dixie," the irrepressible, came out on time this week, notwithstanding that Editor-in-Chief L'Engle is rus- ticating in Virginin and Assoclate Editor Charley Jones was thrashed during the week by a fellow named McMillan, who didn’t like an article reflecting on him which appeared in Dixfe. Little occurrences of this kind don't seem to make much dif- ference with Dixie, which goes on its militant career rejoicing, an honor- able black eye now and then appar- ently being taken as a mere matter of course. Tom Watson argued that the mat- ter for the publication of which in his magazine he was arrested and is now under boud for trial, is no more obscene than are certain pomtions of the Bible. The propriety of language depends entirely upon the connedtion in which it is used. It is possible that a foul-minded person could so use certain passages of the Bible as to make the language appear ob- scene, just as it is claimed Watson did in connedtion with certain por- tions of a church ritual. A vicious blatherskite like Watson can find impurity and obscenity in the things which right-minded persons regard with veneratiom as sacred objects of reverence. THE TIME TO ADVERTISE. The time to advertise 1s when busi- ness is slack. Merchants should take a paper published in a big city and study how the merchants who have made advertising their main business getter, go about it. Look over their advertisements and it will be seen that every word counts for some- thing. They put thought, study and individuality into their advertise- ments, and the result is their stores are filled with customers with money in their pocketbooks, but who go home mimus the money. Line up your stock, give prices, and tell your story interestingly and convincingly, and you will be surprised and pleased at the result.

A novel electrical method of treat- ing timber js said to have given striking results in France, and to bave changed material. A water- tight tank of suitable size is re- quired. The timber is piled on a large lead plate at the botton until the tank is full, when a second lead plate is placed on top of the pile and con- rected to the negative pole of a dyn- amo, the bottom plate being conncct- ed to the positive pole. The space arcund the timber is then tilled with a solution containing 5 per cent of resin, 10 per cent of borax. On turning on the current it passes from plate to plate through the wood, driving out the sap ,and the resin and borax takes its place in the cells and inkerstices. This process being completed, the timber is taken out and dried; when it is ready for mse. EDMUNDS ON FLORIDA. The following is an excerpt from an interview reported at Jackson- ville, from Richard H. Edmunds, the editor of the Manufacturers’ Record, of Baltimore, one of the most sub- stantial in the country: “(‘alifornia fruit, as compared with Florida fruit, is so inferior that it re- minds me of a story | heard in Tam- pa. It runs this way: A Tampa man on reaching homeé one cvening rushed into his sitting room when it was dimly lighted. Seeing what he took to be his wife in the corner he threw his arm out and gave a warm em- brace only to find it was an unre- sponsive wooden model made for the purpose of fitting his wife's dresses that he was hugging. His disgust was about as great as that which a man who has been fed on Floiida fruit feels when he undertakes to eat California’s so-called grape fruit and oranges, MULBERRY CONTEMPLATNG MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP At the meeting of the city council Wednesday night an important matter l'n‘nu:hl up for discussion was the suggestion that the city purchase the waterworks system, now owned personally by Mr. L. N. Pipkin. This i 2 move in the right direction, and The Herald is pleased to note that the matter has taken its proper course through special committee ap- pointed to investigate the proposition in all of its phases and especially as to its bearing upon fire insurance rates. With commendable enterprise Mr, Pipkin has taken care of Mulberry's needs as to a water supply through that period of the town's growth when its resources would not war- rant he establishment of a water- works system. And more Mr. Pipkin made the outlay for a city water sup- ply long before it was possible for it to become a paying investment. He knew this in the beginning, but with him it counted as nought beside the convenience it would be to the peo- ple and the advantage it would prove to the community, aiding in its up- .lnihlim: and material growth.

L. THRE EVENING TELEGRAN, LAKELAND. Fi.A. JUNE 17, 1912. e —————————————————————————— OPINIONS OF EDITORS AND PRIVATE CITIZENS. If sou want 7o find out something about intolerancc go into the news- paper business. Thea ycu will find out that the expression of opinions is coertain to cause some people to write letters to you,calling dewn in the “letter to the editor” or make remarks about you to other people. These remarks that are made to oth- or people sooner or alter get to the editor, and some of them cause him to grind his editcrial tedth. And yet we hear much eloquence about broad mindedness, liberal ideas, and free- dom cf speech and the frecdom of the press. Most everybody will tell ‘you that they like fcr an editor to have opinions and to express them freely. They say that they donlt like a man who strikes an equilibrium on the fence. With some of them we have concluded that they like for an edi- tor, or anybody else, for that mat- ter, to have opinions so long as the opinions agree with what they be- lieve. l.et the editor entertain an cpposite opinion and back it up with | gocd, strong language, with a lit- tle pepper mingled with it, and he| v:ill soon hear from some party who will either want his paper siopped or be heard of as a caustic critic speaking as ome without authority, | like thousaiids'of others just 1ike him and like unto the Pharisee, Consider the plight of the editor. He must keep telling people what h. | thinks about this or that from day | to day.

Think of the average that fellow would make with the critics if he should be com- pelled to express his opinions day in and day out for years to gain his daily bread! Some editors make the most of their tasks with a skill that is ad- riirable. Some of them are artists in selecting subjects which cause very fow people to gnash their teeth, no matter what views are entertained or what side is advocated. Others are lucky in striking a popular chord wore often than otherwise. Others are able, by some strange power, to write column after column without getting o impartial as to make any- cne smart.
