PRSI S N The Jacksonville papers report that the other day in that city three white men standing on the opposite corner watched a lady struggling with a negro purse-snatcher who finally got away with the purse, and not one of them went to her assist- aace. If those three unknown das- tards could be identified and it were possible to express human feeling in terms of solar heat, they ought to be caught and subjected to the con- centrated scorn of all the white men and women of Florida until they dis- appeared in vaporous fumes, O The Florida Educational associa- tion meets today in annual session in Ocala and it promises to be a most interesting meeting. These events bring a large number of teachers, school superintendents and others interested in the cause of education in close and kindly touch with each other and they are pro- ductive of real good for our publie schools. There will be some bright men and women among the {0 Ocala today. visitor. These school teach- ers, when they are enthusiasts in their work, are an extremely inter- egting class of people, zood to he with and to listen to, and are doing public service of the hizghest char- acter in their labors; but when they are not and have no vocational pride —*“in it merely for the pay vouch- er’”’—their work is worthless and they are a tax upon the community, who render no adequate return for | Individual : the money paid them. efficiency in the teaching force in our public schools is one of tht great needs of the time, and such meetings us that a; Ocala help to secure it. W o “God reigns and the gowrnmenlI still lives,” said Garfield at a critica! moment in the history of the coun- | try, and every law-abiding citizen may repeat the cheering phrase in view of the result at Indianapolis ' last Saturday. The conviction of those thirty-eight dynamiters, verit- able monsters of crime, after a trial so absolutely fair that no criticism of it has been heard from any source, means far more than the punishment of that many criminals. It means the actual as well as the theoretical supremacy of law over the people of this country and that ‘under one of the heaviest strains it has ever been subjected to, it has ré- sponded with a splendid effectiveness that giveg it additional terror in the eves of the criminal world and in- creased faith, confidence and respect among the decent, law-abiding peo- ple of the country.

This year the South has produced tie largest crop of cotton in its his- tory, and still demand keeps up with supply. The growing world must nave the staple in ever-increasing qeantity, and so imperative is the need that other countries, tired of | dcpendence upon the South, are con- stantly seeking to develop cotton- crowing in their own territory. And they are succeeding, too, although our pre-eminence is still unques- tioned., It is a fact not generally countries and exporting Says the Satur- are now growing more or less cotton. day Evening Post: .\ government-aided Russian syndicate is now undertaking to ir- ricate five million acres for cotton- srowing in Turkestan.

SEESRY S SOME GOOD ADVICE FROM COMMISSIONER McRAE Hon. W. A. McRae, o agriculture for Klorida, has con- tributed to the Starke Telegraph an article entitled “Agricultural Possi- Lilities of Florida,” packed with use- tul facts, excellent sugzestions aud intelligent optimism which makes good reading at the threshhold of = new year. \We take the irom it: commissioner following “1 shall enumerate some of the things necessary to be done to plaee Florida in the fore front of all the States in the Union, but space will not admit of a free discussion of each topic at this time. “1. Diversified farming. ‘2. In northern and western Flor- ida less cotion should be raised, and we should turn more to the raising oi sugar cane, corn, hay, sweet and Irish potatoes, peanuts, etc., and to hog and cattle raising. In South Florida, diversified farm-' ing, the same as in northern Florida, and also small canneries to utilize the large amount of vegetables that FO to waste. **3. Stimulating by assistance from county, State, and from private sources of the Boys' Corn clubs, and the Girls’ Tomato clubs. Too much | cannot be said or dome along this line. Help the boys and girls to love the farm and to find remunera- tion in their labors, and we will nou kave toobe worrying about the ‘Back te the Land Movement.’ “4. Better educational for our country boys and girls and in the common school course teach agriculture. “5. The farmers co-operation dem- onstrative work has done a gre:t deal toward stimulating our farm- ers. toward better farming. but we need something better than mere telltng a man how to farm. We need in each county a demonstration farm v here our boys may go and see how the land is prepared, how the seed is planted, how fertilized and how cultivated. Instead of having the ccunty rallies at the court houses human ! facilities and only a few inattentive listeners, have the rallies at the demonstra- tion farm (which ought to be cen- ‘lmll\ and conveniently located), and |h-rl. actual demonstration can be made.’ | N THE BEST NEWS IN THE PAPER. great men and their per-| Several newspaper men from differ- ent cities got to discussing the other day what was the best news in the newspaper they were reading togeth- er. One of them insisted that the game between the leaders in the two league baseball champions attracted ‘the most readers. Another persisted that it was the page of political speeches for the day. A third argued that the best news in thay paper was the column of classified advertising, under the heads of Wants, For Sale, To Rent, ete. He argued that the in- formation in these columns was read with keener interest than anything else, because it related more to peo- ple’s daily lives. The women, he contended, were particularly affected by such adver- tisements as those for housemaids. and of housemaids looking for posi- tions. Even if they were not look: ing for servants themselves, it threw a bright light on their household troubles. The men, he said, were touched by | the things that were being offered for 'sale. The farmer found out whici of his competitors was trying to dis- rose of market produce; owners of houses were interested to see what other houses were selling for. Men that rented houses were always look- ing out for something better than what they had. Vi other or not the newspaper Erother was right, it is certain that a column of classified advertising al- ways comes down very close to home lite. It is scanned by a great man: neeple who enjoy seeing what others are trying to buy or sell, even if the are not searcehing for anything them- ! : selves, I then you have any vants, or you wish to sell anything, i you want 2 hetter job, if you want help, the classified advertising al- newspaper gives you an audience lis- | tening with Keen interest to Know ~ahbony the trade you want to make. A small amount invested in this form of advertising brings quick and wonder- fully cheap returns. Ex. 600D RULES TO FOLLOW.
