Democracy in Florida.

county executive committee of Mar
ion met Monday to determine tie
time when the primaries should be
held, how conducted and the qualifl-
cations of the voters.
Of the twenty-five districts twentv-
one were represented.
Judge McConathy resided and Sec
retary Clyattrccorded the minutes.
II was ordered that the primaries
should be held Saturday, September
1st, and he open from Ia. IN. to 5 y.
m. A recess for dinner from l to 2
p. M. except in Ocala, Dunnellon and
Anthony.
There shall be three inspectors ct
each poll, one of whom shall serve Is
clerk.
Qualifications to vote shall consist
in being a registered voter, having
paid poll tax for 1892 and SO and a
promise to support the nominees.
Applicants for county offices were
assessed $40 each, except clerk crim-
inol court, $5, and candidates for the
legislature the latter sum.
Committee are to meet in Ocala
September 3rd to canvass the vote.
Quite discussion sprang up on the
introduction of Claraace Smiths res
olution, which left TO the conductors
of the primaries in the various pre-
cincts the judge of those who offered
to vote. The squire of the Ocklawaha
lake.r -gion advocated his proposition
with great yehemence and persis-
tency, but it was opposed with equal
vigor and determination by VIM. Nor
ton [who made his maiden speech and
a good one), Dixon Irvine, ]. M. Sims,
NJ. L. Payne and III. w. Long. On
final vote Smiths resolution was bur-
ried under vote of 16 to 6.
During the heated discussion of the
Smith resolution Secretary Clyatt was
appealed to to tell what he witnessed
Saturday III Levy county, where every
body, without regard to race or pre-
vious condition of servitude, was per-
mitted TO vote at a democratic pri-
mary. While Levy county had only
about 400 registered voters, some 500
votes were polled.
1t was decided that in case there is
no nominations in the first primaries
by the candidates receiving a majority
of all the democratic votes cast, then
the two candidates having the high
est number of votes be voted for
again.
The candidates were nearly forgot
ten, but at the suggestion of this re-
porter the committee were instructed
to get up series of meetings over the
county, some or 10 of them, at
which all candidates are asked to APP
pear and tell the voters who and what
they are and what they favor, especi-
ally aspirants for the legislature. The
voters of this county are anxious to
hear candidates and know just how
they stand on the railroad commission
question, election law, pay of jurors,
etc.
Candidates, especially senatorial as
pirants, were on deck that day, Mes
sers. Brown, Zewadski and DR.. Bitch,
while F. d. Pooser, for county tax col
lector and General Dickson and Jno.
Stevens for county treasurer, were not
forgetful of their interests.
Remember the day of the primaries,
September 1st.
The drinking water in the city coun-
Gil water pail was so vile that when
Will Long and John Stevens attempt
9 to assuage their genuine democratic
thirst it revolted their sense of oe-
cency and they spat it out.

for his party? Is this the unpardon-
able political for which there is no for
giveness? Does it justify the Citizen
i'm saving of him?

But thousand of such patriotic deeds in the
past cannot change the fact that General Robert
Bullock stands to-day the selfconfessed enemy
OF the party of his country.
The Citizen and its allies are crying
men like General Bullock out of the
democratic party and branding them
as enemies and then have the monu-
mental arrogance and impertinence
to complacently charge others, GER
tainly as sincere and unfaltering in
their devotion to the principles of this
party as themselves, US disruptionisis.
1t is enough to make a hardened and
depraved mule go dead with grief

Newberry Will Barbecue August 22nd.
The enterprising people of New
berry, Alachua county, will give an
immense barbecue Wednesday, Au-
gust %, to celebrate the change of the
postoffice name from Newtown 10
Newberry. The promoters and own
ers of the place, the 0cala leagues,
Frank A. and Samuel W., who origi-
nally came to Florida from Newberry,
s. O., when they laid out the site of
Newberry, in Alachua county, with
pardonable state pride, desired to per-
petuate the name and so asked the
postoffice department. at Washington
to create a Newberry postoffice in
Alachua county, but this was refused
as there existed in Alachua county an
office by the name of Newburg and to
avoid confusion in mail matter the
request of the Messrs. leagues could
not be granted, bnt now that New
burg has been discontinued through
VAC OAAO1 VI VI l0CAdtOl Ottll Tile pUSLOis
flee of Newberry, Alachua county, is
an established fact.
So much of postoff1ce history. Now
to celebrate this important event
everybody in Newberry and around it
will join in a big barbecue August
% and the Messrs. leagues and their
friends of Ocala will unite.
There will not only be food for the
body but oratory galore will be waited
through the ambient air by the aspi-
rants for Office in Aiachua county, the
whole to be rounded up by speech
from Captain Bill Kendrick, the only
original Florida cracker, whose wit,
humor and pathos Is always enjoyed,
aud dance at night for the young
folks.
1t is expected an excursion train
will be run that day from Ocala.
The Banner has an invitation to be
present and will be on deck.

The Bang Called In.

One of the most noticeable changes in
fashion this season Is that which affects
the dressing of the hair. The fringe
has been gradually giving place to softly
waved handeaUx, and the bandeaux are
screeping gradually lower down until the
return seems imminent TO the pulled and
waved bandeaux to be seen In the por-
traits of Jennie Lind taken along in the
fifties. To young and delicate faces the
style has an agreeable piquancy and
quaintness, but to women past their first
youth or with strong, coarse features the
bang has a softening effect much to be
desired.
Another style now gaining favor and
one becoming to round faces with low
foreheads is that of turning the hair
back from the forehead loosely in a twist
that is lost in the light coils and puffs ar
ranged in the middle of the forehead.
In this style of couture the front hair is
parted off on either side and twisted in
the old fashioned way into two rolls
