Bartow Philosopher Shows How Some People Peel Toward the South. rru uuL my sen Decauso or evildoers. Fret not thyself becauso of him who pnosperetli in his way and bridgoth wicked devices to pass." There is good philosophy and much comfort in that poalm. Its frequent perusal will fortify us against trouble and leave us calui and serene at least for a time. Butt I don't believe that David hail as many things to exasperate him as we do. Ncrtv ihere is a Chicago religious payer sent to mo to disturb my tranquility. ft contains a Burtnon recently delivered by the editor to a large congregation of hir* followers and they said ameu and amen at every malediction that he uttered against our people. J don't fret myself about what a northern preacher says nor a northern editor writes, but 1 don't like that amen from the saints, and it grlevro mo to realize that the more malignant an editor Is against us the more subscribers his paper gets. Now this Chicago editor says In his sonnon: "If I were president when the next lynching takes place in the south ' would put a cordon around that district and hang a hundred of thoin and T would shoot a hundred. Worthy oi j cannibals are the horrible things car- J riod on In the south. As sure as you live those eight million negroes will one day hurst loose. If It Is to be blood for blood, then woo to yon In the black belt. You southerners with your rebellious pride sflll left you lynch the poor negro for the very crime that your fatheVs committed on their slaves. There is one voice that will speak if all others are silent. (Applause.) When the time comes we will do more than speak. God will judge you?yo;t wliiled sepulohers who strain at a gnat and swallow a camel. 1 have been told that 1 havo lost friends at tho south. I never had any. They were never worthy of my friendship. Th'-y are neither Christians nor good citizens. I hear the march of eight million Kthtopians. and It will be an awful day wlion they burst loose In the black belt." My wife says that 1 hail better take ! the flowers out of the greenhouse an.I | maybe that will relieve me. I see that tho first ro6c of summer has come j forth in nil Its crimson beauty.

Ruit about those preachers who are so distressed about the negro.

I hope the posse ban got. the oegroes and lynched them by this time. Do you reckon I would have refused to help lynch the brutea If I had been there and If that Chicago proaeher had been there and refused a helping hand I would have aald "Now. boys, lot's haug him up by the legs and give him time to repent?the cowardly dog who would r.ot avenge a woman's htonor." That's my faith and part of my religion, and I've been on that line ever since these outrages began. I rejoice over every lynching of a brute, of the same kind. Oovjrnor Candler may purge his own record about lynch Ingand denounce that Philadelphia cd nor wno ne<I on him, but I am not governor?and am not a target to h? hot at and I am free to aay that a man who would wait for the alow, uncertain process of the law and the courts to avenge our wivre and daughters la no man at ail and has my scorn ?*id contempt.

It is that h-ame puritanical set of preachers who brought on the war and wo thought the next generation would have more sense and lot us alone since slavery was abolished, but like fathers like sons and they are yet miserable rs long of Mordecal is sitting at the gate. Rome of our writers and orators declare that ponce and brotherly I >ve now pre volts, but It Is like the game o' "three card monte.' now you see It and now you don't soe it.

Wish I could turn it loose on those preachers. Since Biihbp C'amller exclaimed In big head linos, "Oh. for ono more breath of Puritanism!" I've been perusing history. Of course he didn't mean those Puritans who came to New England and went to imiKirting negroes and robbing the Indians and burning witches. Mr. Stodnvan and Miss Hutchinson have eleven volumes of American literature p.nd the second is devoted to those horrible witchcraft times when Increase Mather and Cotton Mather and Samuel So wall and other saints had helpless women arrested and tried and hung for witchcraft.

An ingenious Frenchman named he Iloullat. who lives at Coutanccs. has made himself famous for the curious clocks he manufactures. He can make n clock out of almost any conceivable material. Straw and paper are among the raw materials he uses. For 20 years he has been manufacturing freak I clocks nnrt m??t KVi.n.Oi...i.~ ...?? something out of the common In that line apply to Lc Boullat. A while ago he turned a lot of newspapers into pulp, mixed it with a hardening substance and carved the clock out of the compound. Even the wheels and all the machinery of the clock were made of this material. Naturally this curious clock does not keep very correct time, but the wonder is that it goes at all. The newspaper clock is one of Mr. Lo Uouilat's latest trluniphs. Another of his designs appears to be merely a collection of large and small sticks held together by wires. It is only upon close inspection that one sees that it is a clock constructed on excellent principles. It keeps very fair time, never varying more than two minutes in a week. One man has found u $10 bill clinging to his bicycle tire among thousands of men whose wheels have picked up only tacks. Luck may bo a fool, but bo is a discriminating one. % JACKSONVILLE'S BUM Millions of Dollars' Worth of Property Burned in the Florida City. 10,000 PERSONS ARE HOMELESS rire Slkrtfil From a lilt of Wiri> In m IhrMillnir Machine In a Flt?r?

Jacksonville, Fin.?The most disastrotis fire In the history of this cily began Friday shortly after noon in a small factory, from a defective wire, according to the best Isdiof, and burned for nearly ten hours. In that time a property damage estimated from $10,000,000 to $10,(xK).?XHi was caused. According to the city map, 1150 blocks were burned, many of tlicin in the heart, of the business au<l residence section. The estimate of houses to tho block is ten, hence 1300 of them went up in smoke. Many of the tinwsl publ. ami private buildings were destroyed, including hotels, theatres, churches and resiliences. The burned district reaches from Iturhrldge street on the north to the St. John's ltiver on the south, a instance of not quite two miles. Tins willth of the desolated area is thirteen blocks. Within this space practically everything Is blackened ruins, on Fry street, the principal mart of trade, tho Western Union Telegraph Company's building Is tin* tirst building standing going west, Lvorytling cast <?f Laura Bay Is gone. The suburban settlements, with the exception of La Villa, are intact. l,a Villa was badly hurt. Thousands of persons trumped the streets, homeless, with practically all of their worhly possessions upon their backs. Tim stations of the railroads, situated in the southeastern section, were turned Into temporary lodging houses ami hospitals. Luckily the weather was tine, so that there was no suffering on that score. Seven hotels, including the Windsor and St. .lames, a theatre and nearly all th? business buildings are gone. The St. James was the principal hotel of the city, a brick structure, five atories high. It was the winter home i?r many Northern ndlllonaries. Started at the corner of Loo and Monroe streets, the lire was spread with great rapidity t>y the high wind, which almost amounted to n gale. It was soon seen that the local tire department could not cope with the emergency ami appealing messages, asking help were sent to nearby cities, ltrunswlck, (la., sent one thousand feet of hose and three firemen by a special train for Jacksonville, running sixty miles an hour. Two tire engines, with crews, came front Savannah oil u special train. When the fire reached Julia street it was a roaring furnace and seemingly beyond control. The local military companies were called out to keep back the crowds, and the Fire I >epartment began to use dynamite to blow up houses a block away to prevent the lire spreading. So fierce was the blaze, however, and so strong the wind, that sparks ami burning shingles were thrown live or six blocks, setting a tire roofs of houses in advance? of the department. Senator Taliaferro's residence and otln r adjoining houses were soon ablaze. Desperate efforts were* made to save the Windsor and St. James hotels, blit both were quickly wrapped Ui flames. For about an hour the patrons of the Windsor laid been busy packing, and they went away loaded with trunks and grips. Leaping across the street Iroui the Windsor, the flumes caught the Sells House and then the Methodist parsonage. A few minutes Inter the Trinity Methodist (Jhurch was on lire. The Opera House Mock followed. Once the lire got started on Nhiin street the closely huJlt buildings went one after the othea Paint shops with barrels of oil in stock wore plentiful, nnd as they caught fire the hlnze rose hundreds of feet and started lire in buildings across the street. The City Building went, tli* Fire Department Building, the Armory, the County Court House, the Clerk's ofllco, with the county records; the Criminal Court House, the City Jail and the Graded Schools nnd the Catholic Church and Orphanage. St. John's Episcopal Church and the convent. Almost all ths large buildings in the city w?rs burned up In less than four houra. The Chief of Police has ordered all saloons closed until further notice. Mayor Bowden says the property loss will exceed $15,000,000. Ten thousand to tlftecn thousand people are homeless.
