THUItSDAV. JU.VE 24.1909.
Governor Gilchrist has direct
ed a letter to the several game
wardens of the State calling for
a stricter enforcement -of the
game laws. Now if he would
call upon the various peace of
ficers for s'.ricter enforcement ot
all laws perhaps much crime
would be avoided. But isn't it
rather funny that it is necessary
to call upon any officer of the
law to perfojui his legal duties?
We see by the Times-Union
that our thriving little town of
Greenville is soon to have a
weekly paper. Hugh Sparkman
of the Perry Herald is to be
publisher, and Hon. Z. M. hlc
Leod, member of the School
Board, is to be local editor.
The paper will make its appear
ance early In July. In advance
we tender our best wishes for a
long and useful life to the new
candidate for public favor.
Well, now, we like the way
those Valdosta people appreci
ate their editor. TYu editor re
ceived a cordial invitation to be
present in that city last night as
a guest at a grand banquet giv
en by the citizens of Valdosta
and tbe invitation assured us
that "our best efforts are going
to be put forward to entertain
you as well as our time-honored
friend, Mr. Brantley." M r
Brantley, who, hy.the-way, is
tbe editor of tbe Valdosta Times,
has been appointed Executive
Secretary to Uon. Joseph M.
Brown, governor-elect of Geor
gia, and his fellow townsmen
are going to give him a grand
send off. We deeply regret that
circumstances prevented our be
ing present at the banquet but
from this distance we extend to
our brother ttrantley congratu
lations upon his promotion and
our best wishes for his success
in his Dew field.
Discussing thequesiirm of who
bears tbe burdens ot taxation,
Editor Eugene Matthews of The
Starke Telegraph says: "We
are told that State Senator
Flournoy ot DeFuniak Springs,
after giving the subject of taxa
tion considerable study, has ar
rived at the conclusion that the
poorer class of citizens and the
corporations are bearing more
than their share of tbe burden
of taxation, while the- middle
class escapes much of toe burden
that they ought to bear. The
plain, unvarnished truth of the
matter is that pretty much all
ot us dodge every cent of taxa
tion that we can. The very poor
man having little to cover up
and the capitalization of the
corporation being a matter of
public record, they may come
in for moe than their share ot
the burden, as Senator Flournoy
concludes, but tbe fact remains
that we are a generation of tax
dodgers aDd few of us, indeed,
are without sin. If the realand
personal property in this State
were returned for taxation at
63 per cent, of actual value,
the footing would not reach less
than three hundred millions dollars."
TRAIN THAT BOY.
Give your boy some sort of
training.
Just what you train him 4n
does not matter so much as that
he receives training, that he
shall early learn to become
amenable to discipline.
Put him in militia company
where he will learn prompt
obediecce; where he will learn
that practice will make him
have better control over his own
muscles, ivhere he will learn the
value of team work with his fel
low man.
Or see that he belongs to a
good base ball team, where be
will soon learn that discipline of
mind and body, of temper and
spirit are necessaiy for the suc
cess ot his side.
Train him to use his eyes, his
hearing, his muscles. Train him
to think, then train him to act.
One ot the great values of the
popular secret societies is that
ivhen they take in a young man
he is at once bound by certain
rules, which be must obey. lie
is taught to go through certain
movements, to recite certain
things and to act inconcert with
others for the advancement o
the particular society w i t
which he is affiliated.
Train your boy in habits of
industry, of promptness and of
honesty.
Habit, when once formed, is a
great conservator. We bate to
change our habits, and a good
habit, once acquired, is almost
as hard to break as is a bad
habit.
Have the boy get the habit
get a good one, and he will most
likely keep it all the days of his
life.
It is easy to pick out the boy
who has been permitted to come
along into early manhood with
out training.
lie is a boy who loafs on the
street corners and who bas an
aversion to work.
He is tbe boy who develops
Into the furtive eyed, shiftless
young man without a definite
aim in life.
There are too many of that
kind of boys who are growing
up failures because they were
not properly trained in self
restraint, industry, truthfulness
and sobriety.
Train that boy or yours.

Tharin k Leslie,
Those who find fault with the
new pension law should remem
ber that in proportion to wealth
Florida pays more in pen
sions than any other State, the
amount for the past fiscal year
being 730,855.3l. It must be
admitted that this is a heavy
pension charge against a taxable
wealth of only $169,803,230. In
this connection an authority
says South Carolina appropri
ates for her pensioners $252,343.
60; Tennessee, $375,000; Texas,
$300,000; Alabama, $778,361, and
Georgia, for the year 1907,
$932,635.65. Florida pays her
Confederate pensioners more
than twice per capita the
amount paid by any other State
Gainesville Sun.
Our sister town, Monticello,
is celebrating in great style to
day. With Masonic, ceremonies
the corner stone of. tbe new
court house is being laid and we
expect a big crowd bas gathered
there to partake of the barbecue
and other hospitality of the
good people of that town. A
brass band is in attendance and
this afternoon a game ot base
ball will be pulled off A cordial
welcome awaits all who gather
there to-day.
UNDEKTSTAMD EACH OTHER
A minister sometime past in
taking charge of a church said
to the congregation: "Now if I
should do anything or make any
changes in church matters that
you may not approve, come to
me and tell me about it, and
don't talk to other people about
it. We will talk it over and
make matters all right." This
is not on lr a good rule for church
members to adopt, but a good
and safe one for neighbors and
others to adopt.
When gossip starts in a com
munity it is magnified and en
larged upon as it passes from
one to another until a mole hill
becomes a mountain and friends
are thereby made enemies when
all could have beeu amicably
adjusted had a proper course
been pursued. We sometimes
misunderstand people and con
demn thern tor things said and
done, when if we would go. ..to
them personally things would
prove quite different from what
we had conceived them to be.
Exchange.
We are Jndebted to Congress
man Dannitte II. Mays for
solendid wall map of tbe United
States. Our congressman will
please accept our grateful
thanks.
"It isn't often that the Cour
ier bas a paper refused, but a
calamity of this kind did happen
to the paper a week or two
back," says the Plant City Cour.
ier, "A fellow who lives a short
distance out of town returned
his paper marked 'Refused.'
We sent him one more copy of
tbe paper just to surprise him
with the fact lhat the paper did
not suspend publication, a fact
which doubtless caused quite a
shock to his delicately sensitive
nature. We were not surprised,
on investigation, to find that
this dissatisfied gentleman was
nearly two years In arrears."
They are the only ones, brother,
who "refuse" the paper.' We
have bad several experiences of
tbe same kind.
