credit the statement. feeling that the

OF the republican state convention OF lbsz,
that Florida democrats should not forget,
namely. That there were more white dele
gates in that body than were ever before
seen in republican convention IN tnis

there was private caucus for the pur-

says that all was not harmonious be-

that there was quite war OF words be-

FLORIDA REPUBLICANS.
They Are Preparing for Their March
to the Convention.

Tallahassee, Fla, Feb. 10.-The republi-
can state convention has been called to as
semble here on March 4, and there is great
activity among their leaders and local pol
iticians throughout the state, but harmony
does not prevail in the party In fact there
is said to be strong feeling in many coun-
ties against the regularly constituted head
of the party. The battle cry is down with
Eagan and Lee the chairman and secre-
tary, and the fight, some say, wakes war
mer each day. 1t is claimed that E. r.
Gunby, ex-collector of customs at Tampa
heads one faction against Eagan and Lee
and ]. r.. Mizell, formerly collector Of the
port of Pensacola, another When the
state convention met here in 1892. the con-
test was between Mizell and Eagan. The
latter captured the organization and Lee
was made chairman of the convention.
There was much dissatisfaction with some
of Lees rulings, which many considered
very arbitrary, all of which are remem-
bered by his opponents now.
Gunby and Mizell are bold aggressive
fighters while Eagan and Lee pursue the
"stillhunt' plan. 1t is believed that nefth-
er faction will, under any condition unite
with Eagan and Lee; but, If necessary
all of their opponents will combine To
down them and have new deal

PUGNACIOUs PLANTS.
Natures Curious weapons for the
Defence of Trees and Bushes.
From the Chicago Record.


From the Chicago Record
Cats have claws, dogs have sharp teeth,
porcupines have needle-like quilts small
boys have fists and bees has little arrows
with which TO protect themseles when an
enemy attacks them. Nature has provid-
cd all sorts of living things with weapons.
Even plants are soldier like, and carry
with them all the implements of war.
There is the hawthorne and the locust
trees armed to the teeth with savage
spears, which they stick into the enemy
that seeks to destroy them. The goose
berry bush IS full OF needles, and the
sword grass of the swamps carries sharp
knives with which to cut any animal rash
enough to try to eat it.
OF all these soldier plants, perhaps the
most interesting is the nettle; for it arms
itself like the gaint savages of Patagonia,
with poisoned arrows. When 1t enters
a vacant lot and begins to grow In thick
clumps, choking out other weeds and
grasses, the cattle let it entirely alone.
They know how warlike 1t is. And the
boys and girls don't try to pick 1t, for
they have been nettled. and know how it
feels.
The nettle plant is like the porcupine. 1t
carries millions of arrows, which 1t is
ready to use whenever the enemy appears.
These arrows, with the tiny hairs, barely
large enough to see unless one looks very
closely, have a broad base made up of
large number of little cells and a long,
needle-shaped point, having at its tip
bulb or ball. When the small boy touches
the nettle plant-he doesn't intend to, of
course-the little bulb-like point cuts a
small hole in his hand, and then, being
very brittle, 1t breaks off. That leaves
plant shoots out a charge of thick, syrupy
liquid, called protoplasm, into the cut in
the boys hand. This protoplasm is poison,
and it isn't long before It has begun to
work and the small boys hand has begun
to itch. Then he says he has been stung,
and he takes care next time not to get into
trouble with the warlike nettle.
The cactus also carries weapons with 1t,
but they are entirely different from the
poisoned arrows of the nettle, for the cac-
tus fights with ugly looking barbed
spears, so small that they can hardly be
seen, although, as many a little girl knows
to her sorrow, they can be felt very read

Thomasville Times Enterprise: The
convention issue in Georgia may be
summed up in a very few words: Is the
party in the state to be kept in touch
with the national convention? Every
true democrat will answer. yes" The
effect of one convention would defeat this
necessary unity between Georgia demo-
Gratis and the party at large.
Columbus Enquirer-Sun: Let the
sturdy. honest Georgia Cracker go up to
the capital of his state and help trans
act its public business in the old-time sim
plicity of method, in a purely state con-
Vention without interfering with nation
al issues and federal affairs. We believe
the calm and deliberate judgment of fair
minded Georgians viii approve of that
