Gently she is threatened with disruption by
Radical Indcpendentism" Old JacksoA was
one of the first TO rise up in her might and throw
of the yoke of Radicalsm in the State, and arm
sure she will redeem her pledges in the past and
teach these "disgruntled" Office seekers in the
election in November a lesson never to be for
gotten. Let me digreSs little more and tell
you how the county was entertained to-day by
three distinguished gentlemen, well known
and loved by the good people of Florda-Gen
Perry, Coils. Call and Davidson. Owing 10 the
damage done by the storm the crowd was not
very large, but sufficiently so and enthusiastic to
encourage these gentlemen to give the public as
able addresses as it has been my good fortune 10
hear for long time. Oh, how they made
"Independentism" wilt. The crowd was as de-
termined as ever to prove true TO the party.
Tonight our old FRIEND and the undaunted
advocate of woman's rights and privileges, made
one of his finest efforts The house was packed
with Marianna's fair ladies' (of which, let me
say, there are many, many pretty ones.) Col.
Call has many friends here, and this fact alone
would ensure him good house. Long may he live
TO raise his voice and strong arm in defense of
the South and her glorious undeveloped re-
sources
The negroes as q class are better off than any
| know of elsewhere in the State, many owning
good farms, and three-f are partially edu-
Gated. 'Tis really surprising TO know how
much of this fine land is undeveloped and be-
longing to the State and railroad The county,
in addition to Mariana, has two thriving viii
lages-Campbellton and Greenwood These are
some distance from the railroad, yet are thriving
little towns, and are surrounded by beautiful
and very fertile country. Truly nature has done
great deal for this fine old county, and Ma
ranna especially. She is situated on high hill,
overlooking others of less pretentons, surrounded
by lovely valleys and all kinds of fine Old ma
Jestc trees to give ii the appearance of rest and
quiet. Some fine old residences here (gOne
Somewhat TO decay show signs of great wealth
in the past. The owners of these, however, have
thrown off their lethargy, and are repairing, re-
building, and putting on new paint since the
advent of the railroad must not omit the
question of water, which is mostly impregnated
with lime yet there is a great deal of as pure,
freestone water as will be found anywhere.
Now, in conclusion, (and should have con-
cluded long ago. will say that this county as a
whole is as delightful and healthy as any in the
State, and | am sure there never was a more
tempting country, and should decidedly prefer
it 10 any place know of-always excepting, of
course, my own old native Leon TRASH

Adopted by the COnservafIve.DemO
cratic Convention Of the Second
Congregational District.

The Democratic voters of the Second Congress
si0nal District of Florida, in Convention assem-
bcd, congratulate the people of this Congress
SiOnal District, and of the entire State upon the
enhanced material prosperity and progress which
has resulted from the triumph OF the COnServa-
tive Democratic party. Just and economical
administration Of public affairs has brought the
State out of financial embarrassment and has
commended the States credit to capitalists, so
that now the States bonds are much above par
The ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF the Internal In
provemcnt Fund the liberal fostering of internal
Improvements, the encouragement and enlarged
effectiveness given to the public school system,
and the cXertiOns TO settle our State with imm-
grafton, we note as marks of excellence in our
present Stale administration.
AS one of tho cardinal principles of Republi-
can Government, we again declare for a free
ballot and fair count, and arraign the Republi-
can party for violating the purity of the ballot,
and trampling upon the rights of the people in the
unjust and higl-handed usurpatiOn of power in
fraudulently expelng from his seat in Congress,
to which he was lawfully and fairly elected, our
Representative J. ]. Finley, and seating in his
stead man whO was not elected, and whose citi-
Zenship in this State is matter of grave doubt.
We reItcrate and endorse, with the Democracy OF
the First District, the principles of the National
Democracy, enunciated at Cincinnati in 1880,
and adopted the following as rules of political
action:
l. Fidelity to the Constitution and its amend
mcnts.
2. Retrenchment and economy in the admin
istration of Government
3. Lesscnng the burdens of labor by reduc-
ton of taxes and offices
a. Revision Of the tariff and amendment of
navigation laws.
D. Opposition 10 Capitalization, as we'll as Fed
cral interference with local Government.
9. Exposure and punishment of corruption in
officials.
Z. Equal rights justice to all, without distinc-
ton Of race or sectional residence, and cordial
welcome to immigrants from all sections.
We insist upon an equitable distribution of
the public fund, in the improvement of the coast,
rivers and harbOrs of the South, and mention,
as especially entitled TO consideration, the ST.
Johns river, the Suwannee river, Cumberland
sound and st. Augustine bar, and denounce the
practice of the Republican party in using these
appropriations for political purposes.
ResotCed, That we cordially invite all conserva-
tive citizens, without distinction of party TO CO
operate with us in the future, and especially in
the present Congressional campaign, as many
have done in the past in electing our nominee
and securing continued peace and prosperity to
our people, and preserving the kindly relations
that so happily exist among us.

The famous Masonic mystery is re-
called by the unveiling at Batavia, n. Y,
of monument to William Morgan, the
man whose name was for many years in
everybody's mouth. The monument is
nearly forty feet high, surmounted by q
statue of the man, and has been built by
subscriptions collected in all parts of the
country. The principal inscription smacks
decidedly of the excitement which fol
lowed his disappearance, thus: Sacred
to the memory of William Morgan, a
native of Virginia, a captain in the war
of 1912, a respectable citizen of Batavia
and martyr to writing, printing and
speaking the truth. He was abducted
from near this spot in the year 1926 by
Freemasons, and murdered for revealing
the secrets of their order" Morgan was a
blacksmith in Batavia, a Mason, and
seems not to have borne the best possible
character, in spite of this inscription. He
began the work of publishing the secrets
of the order, and it was while engaged
in getting out the book that he was alb
Quoted. He was arrested upon a charge
of theft September Il, 1926, and taken to
Canandaigua. Four days later he was
released-bOth arrest and release were
strange-and Immediately taken in car
riage by Masons and conveyed to Fort
Niagara. There he was confined for a
few days and then all trace of him dis
appears. A body was found in Niagara
river, some time after, believed by many
to have been Morgan's, but the fact as to
that was never established Masons
claimed that the only object in abducting
Morgan was to prevent him from com
municating with Miller, the man who
was publishing his book ,and of course could
suggest many ways in which he might
have disappeared; but the outside belief
was that the man who told secrets had
been murdered by members of the order,
and there was the widest excitement.
Eli Bruce, sheriff of the county, and
several others were tried for murder, but
there were no convictions, although Bruce
narrowly escaped. Then anti-Masonic as
sociations were formed, the thing got in
to politics, feeling on the question ran so
high that regular party lines were for
time completely lost sight of, and in New
England some of the "Masonic cam
paigns about the year 1880 are remem-
bered as the hottest ever known. Through
it all the morgan mystery" remained
unsolved, and so it remains to-day. A
man named Robert Morris, of Kentucky
has been busy for thirty years trying to
get at the facts of the case, however, and
it is said that he will soon publish the
results of his labors.

HOW SILLY .TwoULD RE.

" You have heard" said youth, to his sweetheart
who stood,
While he sat 8 corn-sheaf at day-light's de-
"You have heard of the Danish boys whistle of
wood;
l wish that the Danish boys whistle were mine"
"And what would you de with it9 Tell me-" she
said,
While an arch smile played over her beautiful
face
" 1 would blow it," he answered, land then INV fair
maid
Would fly to my side and would there take her
place"
A" Is that all you wish for? Why that NAV be YOURS
Without any magicl" the fair maiden cried;
" favor so slight ones good nature secures"
And she playfuly seated herself by his sidel
"I would blow 1t again." said the youth, and the
charm
Would work so that not even modesty's cheek
Would be able to keep from my neck your white
arm"
She smiled and she laid her white arm round his
neck.
Yet once more would blow, and the music divine
Would bring me q third time an exquisite bliss
And would lay your fair cheek to this brown one
of mine,
And your lips stealing past 1t would give me
. kiss"
The maiden laughed out In her innocent glee-
What fool Of yourself with the whistle you'd
make
For only consider how silly 'twould be

FALL CROPS require much less work
than summer crops, and as they are of
small grain, can be harvested with ma
chinery while the summer crops must be
gathered by hand. OF course the sum-
mer crops must be planted, but the farmer
who makes good fall crop has good
start for the summer campaign, and will
be more independent of unreliable negro
labor and summer droughts.
NATURES METHoD.-How does nature
manure the soil ? Did you ever think of
itP 1t must be confessed that she has
made some very good farming lands with
out mans advice. 1t appears TO us that
she made every inch of it by successive
layers upon the surface, and as nearly all
the plants send their root feeders upward
to the surface, she did not make q bad
mistake. If nature was right in this, how
many millions of dollars have we buried
in deep trenches, in the way of fertiIizersG

The Color Line Drawn IN 90.
Louis.

A St. Louis dispatch of the 18th says
that great excitement exists in that city
on the question whether colored children
shall be sent to public sch 'Ols where
white children are taught During vaca-
tion the school board selected a site for
school building for colored children lOca-
ted between the railroad tracks. The
colored people objected TO this location
and threatened to send their children to
school with the whites On the llth 81
the opening of the schools the cOlOred
children applied for admission into the
white schools, but the principals refused
to admit them. The excitement grew
apace, and the board ordered the schools
closed for the day. The same night sew
eral street fights occurred and on the 18th
the schools were again opened. A few
white children presented themselves, but
the colored ones were again on hand and
yesterdays action was repeated. Some
of the teachers left their schools. Finally
the schools were again closed for the re-
mainder of the day. The board had,
meanwhile, rented building to serve as
a school for colored children, but the ne
groes refused to send their children there,
claiming the right to have them taken
in the white schools. Fights ensued be-
tween the white and colored children this
morning. The excitement is growing,
and it is not known how matters will ter
inmate.

Rev DIR. Gross, an old time Baptist
preacher, acted as chaplain of the Demo
cratic Convention at Springfield, Illinois,
recently, and delivered fervent prayer,
which was singularly unique and appro-
propriate, and it is to be hoped will prove
effectual. 1t was as follows:
90 Lord, we beseech thee to save Us from the
devil. o Lord God, We beseech thee TO save us
from star route and other thieves upon the pub
lie treasury. Lord God Almighty. we pray
thee to save rs from Republicanism. For

An account Is given in English journals of the
performance of locomotive on the Great North
ern Railroad, which recently carried the Duke
of Edinburgh from Leeds to London, 1854 miles,
in three hours, or at the rate of SO miles per
hour. This speed has frequently been equaled
and sometimes passed for short distances, but il
is remarkable as the average rate for such long
journey. The engine had driving wheels eight
feet in diameter, or two feet larger than the
wheels of American engines To accomplish
the trip in the time given the wheel must have
made 219 revolutions per minute, or more than
80 900 in three hours.
