horse took fright between Lambs
Ferry and this place, suddenly
throwing the man from the cart.
The horse began running, and
when he came to tie river the
boat happened to be on the
other side, but this did not break
his speed. He jumped overs
board with the cart and wheels,
and it was sometime before he
was seen again. Suddenly in
about 10 feet of water, he came
up with the cart body hung to
him, in the meantime losing
the wheels, this is supposed to
be the reason he came up. Aft
er space of three hours Mr..
Zimmerman was able to fit Up
again and Immediately proceeds
ed toward the city. No serious
damage was done.
This is pretty little place,
lust two stores in town,
Ann opposition makes busy race
When the pretty lasses come around.
The dwellings are not numerous
Bnt each one a good home.
A husband loving and humorous,
Except few IN the tomb.
At the rear of this town
Stands a very large mill,
But things around are not 50 booming
When the machinery stands still
The people are SO heartfelt;
And seem to be so kind,
Making every one feel at home,
When perchance they pass that line
Tie R. R. station being very near,
Is always clean and neat,
And accommodation always extended
Upon the patter of the passengers
feet.
Just on the suburbs Of the town.
A blacksmith shop is being erected
Frequent calls will be appreciated,
By the gentleman the trade ha:
selected.
The agent with his assistant
Are always at their posts.
One attends to the business,
While the othe. ''plays the host

such law had not long since been
enacted for various reasons: Such
a plan would givea better guaran-
of the solvency of bonds, while
under the. present system of in
dividual security the bonds in
many cases are not worth the pa
per on which they are written in
case of defalcation, sureties being
generally relieved by act of the
Legislature or otherwise. With
guarantee companies the case
would be different; they would
neither ask for nor expect relief,
as such companies are doing bust
ness not for accommodation but
for profit, and therefore take all
risks. The official, too, under
such a bond would be more cir
cumspect when he knows that he
is being Swallowed by the idetec-
tives of the company bonding him.
With relations or friends as
bondsmen officials will be more
or less under the influence of their
sureties, while with guarantee
companies they could exercise
more personal independence, as
there would be no especial under
standing" but simply straight
forward business contract void of
any extraordinary obligations
except such as the contract inn
posed and which could stand the
light of day. Such q system
would also be a means of secur-
ing a sober set of officials as no
guarantee company would con-
tinue to bond a man who habit
ually frequented bar-rooms and
places of dissipation.
The Barlow Courier-Informant
has very able handled this SUBJ
ject, followed by the Times Union,
Tampa Tribune, Leesburg Com
mercial, and all the leading pa
pers of the state. The following
item speaks for itself:
judgement of S4,943.SS was
rendered against the bondsmen Of
B. f. Wood, the defaulting treas
urer of DeSoto county. But the
Punta Gorda Herald says that
the matter will end with the iudg-
ment. -Manatee Journal.
There is no need of stronger ar
gument against the system now
in vogue; the necessity of reform
in this direction is very apparent.
The press and the people are in
favor of the change and we trust
1
that the legislature will take a
proper view of the subject and
pass law providing better pro-
lection for the peoples interests.

Hon. Alfred Aver, the wild

Hon. Alfred Aver, the wide
awake representative from this
county is making q determined |
effort to correct the county tax
sale evil and he is entitled to the |
support of every fair minded
newspaper and taxpayer in the
state. Newspapers with suffi-
cient political pull have been en-
joying real good time keeping
their fingers on this tax sale boz
nanza and attending to their bank
accounts. We are reliably in
formed that $4,000 is being ex-
pended annually for this item
alone when $4,000 would be a
fair price for the work and would
be readily taken by the same pa
pers if they couldn't get more.
1t has been demonstrated that a.
weekly paper in any Of our larger
counties that has a cinch on this
work can afford to publish the
paper free and need make no eff
fort for other advertising. In
other words this printing supports
on an average one newspaper in
each of our forty-six counties be-
sides paying good salary to the
editor. One of these so called Of
fetal organs in Orange county
when called upon to bid against
other papers for the city tax sales,
which is identically the same as
the county list, put the price at
ten cents per line instead of
forty the price paid by the county.
This was a cut of IS per cent and
the publisher could not deny that
he was making fair profit on
his bid. In this city when the
council asked for bids from the
different papers, all the papers
published here except one, cut the
price to 20 cents per line or so per
cent lower than heretofore and
offered to publish the list in two pa
pers at that price and yet this
same paper wants pull on the
county list at forty cents per line.
Mr.. Aver proposes in his bill
now before the legislature to COM
pei the county commissioners to
ask for a proposition from every
paper in the several counties to
do this work and then to let it to
the lowest responsible bidder.
His whole purpose is to compel
the county commissioners to at
tend to this matter in a business
like manner; on the same princi
pies that they would transact
any other business involving the
outlay of such a large amount.
As matter of course all the pa
pers that have been and are en-
joying this glorious snap will
make ugly faces and paw up the
dirt, but the people and especial
~ the taxpayers will rally to the
support of Mr.. Aver in his efforts
to check this high handed robbery.
Let the papers that depend on
brains instead of political pulls
for living speak out in defense
of the taxpayers and Mr.. Ayers
bill will go through with a whoop.

situations as vigorously as Satan is said to
hate holy water. The Democracy having
been thoroughly Organized it was to be
expected that the Democratic minority in
the House would set their faces sternly
against the national bank. Their policy
chiefly by the fact that the President had
recommended different one. We're
the responsibility upon them and it was
their province to decide whether this
country should recognize Cuban belllger-
ency or not, the conclusion of their eau
Gus would no doubt have been very differ
emit. War speeches and war resolutions
for. buncolnbe are one thing; war speeches
and war resolutions that may lead to war
are quite another. The Democrats of the
House are in a position where they can
indulge in any amount of martial fire
works without the slightest danger of
precipitating conflict for which they
will be held responsible, and they seem
to be disposed to use the opportunity for
all 1t is worth, and it is worth consider
able with thu thoughtless and hot headed
part of our people. AS to their resolu-
ton in favor of ''wise and just bank
ruptcy law it's merit depends upon
what they consider "wise and just" If
what they are in favor of is simply a bill
providing for voluntary bankruptcy, then
there is no merit in their resolution. for
purely voluntary bankrupt bill will not
meet the needs of the commercial interests
of the country. What is wanted is meas
IRE that provides both for voluntary and
involuntary bankruptcy, like the Tor
rey bill.
The Portland daily press., 1897-12-16

The National Board of Trade takes the
ground that the danger of fat money
craze sweeping over the country is by no
means averted, and expresses the fear,
which is no doubt well grounded, that
unless there is unwonted prosperity in
1900, the silver heresy or some other
equally dangerous financial delusion will
be the prominent factor in the Presiden-
tial election. The only way to meet and
avert the danger, in the Boards opinion,
is by the persistent education of the
masses in sound finance. This is sound
conclusion. 1t is certainly true that the
sure way to save ourselves from the dan
ger of an experiment. in fiat money is to
convince the people beforehand of the
danger of such experiment.. There is
plenty of material for such education, for
history is constantly repeating itself and
every single onesof the various currency
devices recommended by the cheap money
advocates for the past four or five years
has been tried, not once merely, but re.
peatedly, and invariably found wanting.
If we could get the people to study with
out prejudice the experiments of the past
with cheap money and fiat money we
should not be In any danger of having
those experiments repeated.
