Pasco coun- Chicago firm to take the $150,000 | road-building bond issue of that county at a good premium. The spirit of growth and development in this State so strong, its natural assets so immense and diverse and ty has just accepted an offer from a ; its State and cdunty governments g0 clean and nonest that Florida se- curities don't have to be peddled to fiad a raarket. e Judze Call of the Federal Court at Jacksonville has appointed Eu- gene D. Dodge of that city as clerk of his court to succeed E. O. Locke. | And it was an admirable appoint- ment, for Mr. Dodge is not only ful- | ly competent to fill that position but he is a hizh-class young men in all respects and has a personal- ity which wins the esteem and con- fidence of all who know him. 0: Secretary of State Bryan says that crop conditlons, | he leaves his office and goes off on a lecture tour to “keep- in' touch with the people.” His enemies will pres- et | €11L1y e saying that he hikes down “ON HIS UNCONQUERABLE WAY” A northern man who has been traveling extensively by automobile through the South and in sentimen- tal mood visiting the old plantations and musing over such vestiges as he could find of the feudal days of ante- belldm life, writes most interesting- ly from Thomasville, Ga., to the Trenton (N. J.) Gazette about his trip, and, harking back to recon- structio. days, concludes with these jmpressive words: “Intenigence would never have | given the black man the power to | vote and rule the white man—not black men at that, but simple mind- ed children, children still in the breech-clout stage. Charity would' never have sent soldiers and bayo- nets to enforce such a decree against | Anglo-Saxon brothers. Statesman- ship would have found, iong ere this, a way to redeem this land. “Thank God, the white man is again on his unconquerable way, and from every Southern town today he is pushing out and things are be- l ing accon.plished that put to shame many of the congested cities of home ! country. The o!d plantations are breaking up into small farms, which ! the scttler buys for but a fraction of their value. He can raise more and live cheaper here than north. very town has a chamber of com- merce reacy to help the new and old comer, for these people have learned the way to build up a city is to build up the country round about.” B It looks very much like the elee- tric cheir for Lieutcnant Becker of the New Ycrk police foico who was convicted corre months aro ac an ac- Supreme Court has denf~d his ap- plication for a new trial. Becker was 1Ndo...dly up to his cycbrows fn graft corruption and if he is ex- ecuted it will have a michty effect in cleansing the rottenness police force in the world—and et one of the most efficient when there is no graft in sight. —_——— Mrs. Longstreet has been vindi- exted and Mrs. Ham ks been con- firmed as her successor in the Gairesville, Ga., rpostofiice. Tiis gives both ladics what tvey most de- sired and will furnish Mrs. Long- strect an cletant opportunity to re- tire from the spotlight in which she has been posing for many months past. What a militant suffragette that pugnacious and spectacular lady would make if sh2 should turn her energies and talents in that di- rection! Sister Pankhurst over in the pleasant path of the Chautauqua circuit to ‘“touch’” the people—for the price of their admission to his lectures. e The job of congressman-at-large doesn’t seem to spell much influence in securing appointments for his constituents if we may judge by the experience of Congressman L’Engle. Claude must get a “deestrict” all his own if he wants to count in the distribu.ion of patronage. —o The Pensacola News heads Iits column of marriages, births and deaths: “Bells, Yells and Knells.” Some class to that. e g&bbfi 000N OTCHROAIONRCA0NCE C@:Eg JULY 15 IN HISTORY. =4 FrORCH CHORCHORCHOCRIR RS CRORCRORD CRCRCROIGH 1766—Grand junction canal com- menced, uniting the Trent with the Mersey. 1798—Bonaparte wins battle of Che- bressa, in Egypt. 1832—German Diet at Frankfort is- sued a protocol suppresslng the liberty of the press in Baden. 1874-—Spain declared in a state of siege. 1910—Disastrous forest fires raging in the West. 1911—Lord Kitchener appointed as British agent in Egypt, suc-| ceeding Sir Eldon Gorst. 1912—National insurance act went into effect in Great Britain.

An ordinance to amend sections one and eight of the criminal code Englard would be a tame performer by comparison. — Florida’s lynching average is in- creasing here of late with arapidity which no good citizen can take any pride in. Lynching is barbarism pure and simple in any country pro- fessing to be civilized, and its effect upon that great mass of people who do not reason upon abstract princi- ples of rizht and wrong and get their education on obedience to law, or contempt for it, from the con- crete examples presented to their physical visions, is most deplorable. One lynching in any community can do more harm, espcelally to the young and unthinking of that com- munity, than educatica can undo in years. — Doc Friedman necl not get sore on this country becanse he has been ghown up as a humbug or thereabout fn his pretensions as a discoverer of a consumption cure. \We are rather fond of humbuzs than other- wise In the U.
