This is the way q Kentucky editor
speaks Of w. G. P. Breckin ridge, and
we certainly think he bit the mark !:
1T is said that . recent cyclone
turned a well inside out in the state
of Mississippi; blew load of hay off
from an empty wagon in Rhode Is
land; killed dead man in Vermont;
blew all the water out of a dry mill
pond in Montana; turned cellar up-
side down in Wisconsin, moved a
township line in Nebraska; blew all
the slaves out Of whiskey barrel in
Iowa and left nothing but a bung-
hole; changed the day of the week in
Ohio; killed an honest Indian agent
in the far west; blew the hair off a
bald-headed man in Texas; killed q
truthful lawyer in Illinois; blew the
mortgage off a farm in Minnesota;
scared a red-headed woman in Michi-
gan; blew the cracks out Of a fence
in Dakota; blew the hat Off bald
headed man in California, and
knocked the socks off bare-footed
Coxeyite at Washington, but glanced
off and became defunct when it
struck the cheek of w. G. p. Breck-

will amount to about ,25O, 900 pounds,
and the bounty is less than $4,000
The records show that the cigar

mense stock from 1892 to 1898, but
during the recent panic they got rid
Of the old stock and carried much
smaller stock over into the year just

there was more money collected for
cigar and cigarette stamps than ut
any time since the panic began fifteen

The series of admirable articles from
the pen Of Major Chas. w. Campbell,
now appearing In the Banner in advo-
cacy Of immigration through the me-
dunn Of an exhibit of Florida pro-
ducts at Atlanta, is a step in the right
direction.
Florida, with her genial climate,
cheap and fertile lands, is the mecca
OF the home-seeker of limited means,
or would be If her advantages were
fairly understood, but what is known
Of Us outside Of the fact that we are a
sort Of mammoth sanitarium? The
story Of the Transatlantic garden of
the Hesperides" Is all right for the
tourist, but for the tiller of the soil 1t
has little value. What the intending
settler wants to know is: What can l
grow? How can make comfortable
living? The intelligent answer to
which Is generous exhibit OF our

atty at Chicago, let us not repeat the

A Strong Endorsements for Mr, 3. 4.
Wartmann.

" ~ tAA0n4S
TO the Editor Of the Banner;
From various parts Of the county
have come many endorsements for
Mr.. e. l.. hartmann for the legisla-
ture.
Please allow me short space in
your valuable paper, that the people
of Marion county might know the
voice and sentiment around Citra,
Mr.. Wartmann's home.
We do not think that Sir. w. wants
the office except for the good that he
could be to his county and state, and
that is the very reason that we at
Citra want him in the legislature. /
use the plural pronoun, we, because |
believe am voicing the sentiment of
almost every man in Citra, whether
he be democrat or belongs to some
other party.
Mr.. Wartmann las always taken
an active interestin public enterprises,
and have never known him to work
for anything but what was the great
est good to the greatest number /
know him to be man, that if he un-
dertakes to accomplish what he be-
lieves to be right he will never lose
interest until it is gained.
We need good, active business men
in the legislature, men who have
made themselves and who are willing
to lend helping hand to those who
are now fighting iife's battle toaccom
plish something among their fellow :
men. All who know Dir. Wartmann
as have for the last twelve years,
know him to be man at any time,
willing and ready to assist those
around him. / have never known a
person to go to him for a favor that
he did not have it granted. | have
known him to take money out of his
own pocket in the very hardest
times, and without any security, loan
it to young men that he believed were
trying to do something for themselves.
believe if SIR. hartmann goes to the
legislature he will act with the same
spirit and zeal at Tallahassee as he
does at home.
Mr.. Wartmann is in favor of rail-
road commission, he believes that
freights can be reduced low enough
that the farmers and vegetable grow
ers will not have to pay the railroads
all their profits to have their truck
marketed. know on two different
occasions that he went before the last
railroad commission and spent forty
or fifty dollars each time in trying to
get lower rates. He is also willing
that the railroads should be dealt with
fairly and given good income on the
cost and expense of the roads. But
not to make II or Is per cent divi-
dend on any valuation that they
might choose to place on their roads.
He is strongly opposed to any such
institutions as the Louisiana State
Lottery" or ''prize fighting" and will
do all in his power to drive them from
the state. He is man that will al.
WAYS work ia the interest of the peo-
pie whom he represents, and will
never advocate thing that he be-
lieves to be oppressive to any person
or class of persons. Let us send such
men as Mr.. hartmann to make our
laws for us, men whose minds are
broad and whose hearts are philan-
thropic. DEMOCRAT.
