Southern Courtesy and Kindness.
Youths Companion,
An Englishman of influence, who,
with his family, emigrated to this coun-
try in 1879, settled in one of the Gulf
States, His friends in New York re-
monstrated with him, urging that the
south yet suffered from the effects of
the war, that trade was duller there
than in the north, and the chances few
er of success in business.
Il know it, he replied
"You will be there measurably out of
the world of art, music. books. even
news. The towns and houses have few
modern improvements" his advisers
insisted
"All very true"
"The people haven't the energy of the
north. They are apt to be bitter in their
preiudices."
"But they are so friendly" replied the
Englishman. ''If | were asked to name
the marked feature of southern charac-
ter, it would be friendliness. When 1
went among them found, for the first
time in my life, myself in a world where
every man seemed to consider every
man his blood relation. Though he had
never seen him before he stood ready,to
invite him to dinner, or to befriend him
/ if he needed it,"
The Englishman remained in the
south. He could not tear himself away
/ from the pleasant. intangible ties which
had been spun around him.
No one can travel through the south
without feeling the powerful charm OF
the universal atmosphere Of good humor.

Of the citizens in each county shall think
proper to deal with the subject matter

divided counsels. Let the petitions,
when the names are filled in, be sent DIR.

PETITION.
To the Honorable, the members Of the
Constitutional Convention of the State
of Florida:-
The undersigned citizens of the State
of Florida humhly present this, their Pc
tition, and beg leave to suggest:
That the law making authorities of ev-
cry civilized state known among man
kind have found it necessary to inter
pose some legal restrictions on the sale of
intoxicants;
That the evils consequent upon the
traffic in liquors in our own and other
lands are frightful, and tend to constant
increase;
That more of the proceeds of labor
are wasted each year in drink than are
expended, all told, for expenses Of gov
ernment, federal, state and municipal,
and education, and religion in all their
departments;
That a greater amount of capital is EN-
barked in the liquor trffic than that of all
the banks in the United States combined.
That the men engaged in this traffic
have formed an association, and use
money to control elections, and influence
the action of legislatures. state and nat
ional; that as a class these men belong to
no political party and have no political
principles, but manage to play one party
against another so as to fasten this des-
tructive trade upon the vitals Of the
body-politic;
That only the divine mind can fully
comprehend the amount of grief, suffer
ing and ruin which comes of the whisky
trafc; and that all experience proves
that the way through the liquor saloon
for the young men Of the country is the
way to poverty, blighted hopes and
death.
The local option law is defective, it is
not a fair test of public sentiment End
less frauds are perpetrated to obtain
license. County boards are embarrassed
by legal issues. Licenses are obtained
contrary to the will of communities.
We want to be relieved Of these fruit
less, disgusting conflicts. We want to be
relieved of ever.recurring movements in
the legislature to repeal. or amend
We ask only that there lie engrafted
in the new constitution the principle
giving to each county in the state the
right to decide by vote. under the au-
thority of law, whether we will or will
not have licensed houses for the sale of
liquors, running for a reasonable term of
time; and thus remove this discussion as
far as possible from the domain of party
politics, either state or national.

A Wisconsin woman accuses her husband of trying to persuade her 10 commit suicide in a manner that would enable him to collect for their children the amount of an insurance policy on her life. He argued the proprlety of the project, since she was feeble and likely to require much doc toring during the rest of her natural life, thus using up money needlessly, whereas by dying at once she could leave the family in good clrcum- stances.
