Only Three of the Railroads Run
ming Into the city Losing Money.

Only Three of the Railroads Run
Sanford, Fla. Nov. 16.-Summer absen-
tees are now home or Homecoming.
OF the seven railroad lines entering San
ford, it is encouraging to know that only
three of them fail to pay running expenses,
and one of these, the Florida, Midland,
now under the Plant systems control, will
soon pay interest on the investment. The
Sanford and Tavares branch, and the San
ford and Titusville branch of the Jackson
vile, Tampa and Key West railway are
both run at a yearly loss, the deficit for
the last quarter being $6,8l9,57 for both
branches.
The Sanford firemen have come home
from the gala week contests in Jackson
vile, with a SIS second prize, which will
help the boys in making their reading
room and headquarters more attractive.
Sanford loses rwo prominent citizens in
the removal of e. B. Durin, sou-in-law of
Col A. NJ. Thrasher and Mr.. Thomas NJ.
McRae, son of the late DR.. McRae. The
former goes to New York to practice law,
and the latter to Fitzgerald, Ga, to re-
sumo there his insurance business.
There is TO be war to the knife over
the Sanford postoffice during the next two
months. Postmaster John smith, former
ly of Savannah, holds on until in February,
but the action of the Orange county repub-
lican committee last week has precipitated
the conflict. They Endorsed c. s. Part
ridge, United States commissioner, and a
lawyer of this city, who is d Chubb-Gun-
by man, and a member of the committee.
Thomas Il. Wilson of this city, also law
yer and member Of the committee, but ain
Eagan Mckinley man, was also a candi-
date, but the Gunhyires were zone too
many and voted down ali his propositions
and finally ran him and his supporters out
of the meeting by their determined stand
against his candidacy, Wilson is a fighter
from way back, and proposes to make the
wool fly from the committees back before
he gets through, Wilson and ex-Postmas-
ter Dolph Edwards were Eaganites and
original Mckinley men, and with a few
others had a herd time with the Gunby-
ties in the last campaign, they being in
the majority and inclined to break up the
Eaganites meetings. Doph Edwards, his
wife, who is now money order clerk in the
the last two Grand Army men, have been
candidates for the postoffice, but now the
matter seems to have resolved itself into
a personal contest between Wilson and
Partridge, either of which would make a
good postmaster. Wilson, however, be-
ing an original Mckinley man, thinks his
chances ought to be best despite the COM
mittee's recommendation.
