The immigration that has poured
into Southern and Western Florida
has made it a white mans land,
wealthy and prosperous. While the
10,200 negroes south OF ST, Augustine
had grown from 1870 to 1880 to l6,-
800, the 1880 whites had grown to
$1,000, and are nearly 10000 to-day.
IN that section of the State the races
were nearly equal eighteen years ago;
the whites are four to one to-day, and
In number of the counties the negro
population has actually decreased.

A WOAIAN'S DISCOVERY.

Another wonderful discovery has been
made and that too by lady in this county.
Disease fastened its clutches upon her and
for seven years she withstood its severest
tests, but her vital organs were undermin-
ed and death seemed imminent. For three
months she coughed necessarily and could
not sleep. She bought of rs bottle of DR..
Kings New Discovery for Consumption
and was so much relieved on taking first
dose that she slept all night and with one
bottle has been miraculously cured. Her
name is Mrs Luther Lutz." Thus write w.

of it, a sister of my mother died of
it, and my own sister died of it. My
feelings may be imagined, then, when
the horrible disease made its appear

cancer, eating inwardly in such way
that it could not be cut out. Numer-
GUS remedies were used for it, but the

DAVE TUCKER
On The Formation Of Florence County.

Dxa N1copDus:-I was rather sur
ysised at the reception of your letter,
complaining about the formation of
the new county OF Florence, when ]
remember that you were one of the
esnysssers who carried around for
signatures one OF the petitions for its
formation, and your announcement as
8 candidate for coroner Of the new
county at the time of such canvass.
Why you are now in sack cloth and
ashes" about it I cannot see for the
life OF me. Perhaps I can conjecture
your discontinue since I've learned
the results Of the recent nominating
convention held at Florence. You
seem to have been one of the left and
unknoaon. No doubt your name went
anightiiy against you. I tender you
my most profound sympathy, for I
lave been along all those old paths.

so bad that the flesh sloughed off It

a bill has been introduced in the
North Carolina Legislature to amend
the election Law. The proposed amend
nenss are copies of the South Caro-
hna election law, and It is thought if
the bill is passed it Will cut off at least
half the negro vote, but as to the
white vote It Will hurt the Democrats
more than the Republicans.

THE sun.
For 1859
And tor the Democracy.

y
THE Sun believes that the campaign for
the election Of Democratic Congress in
1890 and Democratic President in 1909
should begin on or about The fourth OF nett
March. The Sun will be on hand at the
beginning and until the end Of the most
interesting and important political conflict
since the war, doing its honest utmost, as
ever, to secure the triumph ofthe Democrat
ic party and the permanent supremacy Of
the principles held by Jefferson, Jackson,
and Tildrn.
The great fact of the year is the return to
absolute power of the common enemy OF all
good Democrats political organization
fof whose overthrow The Sun fought at the
front for fifteen years, the memorable years
Of Grant and the Fraud Hayes, and Garfield
and Arthur.
It is the same old enemy that Democrats
now confront, and he will be iEtrenched in
the same strong position. 1t has been car
ried once by brave and hopeful fighting.
Do yon not believe with The Sun that the
thing can be done again? Wait and see!
The hope of the Democracy is in the
loyal efforts of united press, cherishiDg
no memorles OF past differences il non-es-
sentialS, forgetting everything but the les
sons Of experience, andSt victory is
duty.
Probably you know The Sun already as
newspaper which gets all the news and
prints It in incompsr,bly interesting shape;
which chronicles facts us they occur and
tells the truth about men and events with
absolute fearlessness, making the complet-
est and most entertaining journal publish
ed anywhere on earth; and which sells its
opinions only to its subscribers and pur-
chasers at two cents copy-on Sundays
four cents. If you do not know The Sun,
send for it md learn what wonderful thing
it is to be in the sunshine.
