TIPS on LAYING LrNoLEuMs.

While it is difficult to follow system
in fitting oilcloths and linoleums, few
cardinal rules must be observed, and We
venture to suggest them. In cutting
linoleum from diagram allow an inch
at the ends. If it is not to be laid at once
allow also fraction on the width, for
shrinkage is probable both ways. Get
the diagram correct to the fraction of an
inch, so that if cutting must be done for
centre pieces or register holes it can be
done before the cloth is laid on the room.
Tack linoleum after butting the edges
evenly within an invisible brad, say
four irches apart, and if possible line
the edges with an adhesive paste. Get
the floor smooth by dressing the planks.
Do not try to even it up by laying
strips of paper lining over sinks in the
floor. Nothing but jack plane will
serve. The future service of the cloth
will depend upon the floor being per-
fectly smooth. A nicely laid inoleum
needs no binding, but should binding be
desired for sake of appearance, use one
half inch brass binding. Let hnoleum,
like oilcloth, lay face down several days
in the store before fitting it. Another
reason for having the cloth made per-
fectly ready for the apartment is to avoid
scratching the Dashboard with surplus
cloth, and the cel tainty of cutting the
ends untrue. The balance of the detail
must be left to the skill of the layer.
We offer no antidote for blisters and
puffs which appear in the centre of
sheets of Lnoleum or oilcloth. The
manufacturer comes in there. The seller
had better lie low and hope that Mrs.
Jones will not put much stress on that
''little swell, " for he is powerless to help
it.-Carpet and Upholstery.

adopted by Mr.. II. s. Elliott, the efficient
chief clerk Of the department, is as near
perfect as it can be, the information be-
ing gathered frcm three or four CORE
spondents in each county.
Nearly all the counties, especially the
middle tier, complain Of excessive rains,
in consequence the cotton crop has been
damaged and the crop will be very short.
Madison county reports some rot in the
corn crop on account Of the wet weather
The rains have also interfered with the
cutting of the tobacco crop, though q
large proportion is in the barns.
The orange crop is reported only as
medium.
The shipment of pears, which fruit is
coming to the front rapidly, aggregated
during July IS, 152 barrels. Leon county
leads the van with 5,752 barrels; Jeffer-
son county comes next. The other pear
shipping counties are Gadsden, Hamil-

Testing Counterfeit Coin.

Heres the way we test coins in the
treasury" And the expert swiftly poised
the dollar piece horizontally ON the tip
of his forefnger, holding the thumb
quarter of an inch away from it and
gave it brisk tap with another coin. A
clear silvery ring sounded out. Good,
but here; isten;'' and he repeated the
operation with another coin that gave
out dull, heavy clink that ceased al
most as soon as it began. Type metal
and lead; nodded too. That is
wretched counterfeit ''How do you
tell that it was molded:" He held the
their edges.
Just compare the reeding, will you,
or milling, as most people call it? In this
genuine coin this is very clear and sharp
cut, in the counterfeit it is coarse and
dull. That is because it is nodded instead
Of being stamped in cold metal like the
government coins" 'sWhy do the
counterfeiters not use the same cold
process?" 1T costs too much and makes
too much noise. With mold, you see.
counterfeiter can carry on his work IN
garnet and if policeman comes in he
can shy the whole outfit out of the
window. But it takes great power TO
run die. Still some high flying counter
feiters do use them, and their work Is
usually harder to detect, though it IS
never so perfect as that of the govern
ment mint
What is the surest test for counter
felt coin for popular uses 1.-The looks
of the reading, as was telling you
the milling, by the way, is on the face
Of the coin and not ON the edge, as most
people think. That's the sureSt and
easiest thing, but Of course other tests
have to be used, especially for weight
and thickness" -Springfeld Repubh-

FLORIDA IS ALL RIGHT.
An Interesting Interview With EX
Governor w. ID. BtOXham.

An Interesting Interview With Ex-
Governor w. ID. BtOxham.
A staff correspondent of the Atlanta
Journal, under date of August 18th, pub
fishes the following interesting interview
with Ex-Governor Bloxham:
r. AND d. RAILROAD, August-12.-I
have Just had an interesting chat with eX-
Governor Bioxham, OF Florida.
He has quite distinguished appearance
and resembles somewhat Colonel Milton
A. Gambler, OF Decatur.
He had been to the springs in Virginia
and was hasting TO Florida to take part in
the campaign.
He was governor of Florida from 1881
to 1885. He was the last comptroller
general and will be the next comptroller
general.
AS to Florida politics he said:
Judge Mitchell, Of Tampa, the una0i-
nous nominee OF the democracy for Cover
nor, will defeat A. p. Baskin, the president
of the alliance and the third party candi-
date for governor, by from ~ 900 TO 10 600
The whole democratic state ticket will
go through by majority fully as large.
Florida has from &C, 600 to 65, 900 votes.
CONGRESSMAN Mallory, OF the first dis
trict. will be returned without difficulty.
G. NJ. Cooper, ex attorney general, succeed
Rel rcsentative Bullock as the democratic
| nominee in the second district. He will be
opposed by A. S. Manu-, the alliance third
party man, bat will be safely elected
Senator Pasco will be reelected by The
next Legislature. You know Florida has
only two congressman.
The republican state convention met in
April, Endorsed the force bill and the Nc
Kinley tariff, denounced everything DEM
ocratc and adjourned without putting Out
ticket. 1t was perfectly clear that their
leaders meant to manipulate the third party
convention W hich met in July. That they
succeeded is evident. That they will Try
TO elect the third party ticket is sure.
1T is encouraging TO note in this connec.
ton that the leading alliancemen in FiOIi-
da have not gone with the third party. r
F. Rogers, ex-president OF the alliance
Henry Long OF Marion. and many OF The
best alliancemen are among the most un-
wavering democrats 10 the state. @. b
Collins the best stale lecturer the alliance
mas had, is the democratic candidate fnr
state treasurer. Mr.. Sheats, q leading all'-
ance man, is our candidate for state superln-
tendant OF schools.
"The superiority of democratic principles
and the men who stand Tor them in Flol.
ida is shown by the fact that the northern
/ republicans down there vote The state dem.
ocratic ticket. In 81 when was elected
governor, ] ran one thousand ahead a
Hancock. our presidential candidate, xnC
the republican candidate for governor rar
one thousand behind Garfield. These
changes were made By the most intelligent
republicans. The rank and dle OF the re-
puDlicans vote straight tickets and do nc
scratching"

Ex-Governor Bloxham still keeps
his hold upon the affection of the
people of the state. The Live Oak
correspondent of the Times-Union,
pays the following tribute to him in
reporting the proceedings of the
democratic mass meeting there
Friday last week.
Ex-Governor Bloxham next took the
stand, announcing his intention 10 make a
financial, and consequently dull speech.
But he failed in the latter, for his speech
was loudly and continuously cheered, and
be showed himself to be now, as in the
past, Florida's 'only Bloxham" and her
lsnly orator. He hello the crowd spell-bound
and made them roar with laughter, SEEM
lngly at his will The Mckinley bill re-
cetved his critical attention for awhile, and
she force bill was well handled. He stated
IL Is his belief that the peoples party presi-
Genital electors would, it they were given

he states taxes were too high, and said
slaat he had been Studying out plan tor
their reduction and, if elected, he proposed

ties afforded in onr state for thor.
ough education.
The seminaries and State A. & M.
College are supported from the pro-
ceeds of the sale of United States
land grants and congressional APP
preparations, though the legislature
of the state has from time to time
made appropriations for erecting
buildings and for equipments.
The Normal colleges, the Institute
for the Blind and Deaf Mute are
maintained solely by the state, and
the county high schools are
supported, as are the common
schools, from the fund raised by tax
by the state and counties.
With this equipment for the high
education of our youth, supplemented
by 2a4s public schools, it is not
strange that each succeeding school
census returns decrease of illiteracy
in our borders and bids us hope that
ere long ignorance and it's legiti-
mate evils, crime, want and violence
may be driven from our beautiful
land.
With the exception Of the two SEM
inaries these institutions Of higher
education, and the Institute for the
Blind and Deaf Mutes, have been
built, organized and equipped since
1884, and are all now in a fourishing
condition, and is Florida's brightest
crown, and her people should be
proud of her growth in this impor-
tant direction.

THE DUAL CONTROVERSY.

The deplorable fight amongst the
Duyal county democracy becomes
more and more bitter as the campaign
advances. During the past two
weeks, committees representing the
Dancy faction have visited the
capital, to ask the governor to inter-
tere in the matter of appointments
Bf inspectors OF election at the en-
suing state election, and demanding
an equal representation, which it
you'd be fair should be accorded
them.
On the other hand the FLoRIDIAN
Is advised that the Stockton faction
complain OF unfair treatment by the
registration officers.
The duty and responsibility of APP
I pointing the inspectors and clerks OF
eiection deyolves upon the county
commissioners. 1t So happens that
the Duval commissioners have given
tbe Dsncy faction not single repre-
sentative on the board. The latter
1laim, and Judging from past expert
rec, perhaps not without reason,
rs they will not get justice a,
~ hands of the board as at present
f00Stitated. The Stockton men pro.
>st that they want nothing but fair
- Why. then, gentlemen. no,
IN the Dancy men an equal repre-.
ntation? The solution is easy
oaeh. Both factions are democrats
Il seems to the FLoRIDIAN tina,
