More About Commissioners.

Woodville, Oct. 13.-Editor Tai
lahasseean-I read with considerable
interest what Taxpayer" had to say
in your last issue about the selection
of County Commissioners. | re-
member well when DIR. Andrews
served before i'll that capacity and
also recall what an excellent official
he made. The others mentioned by
"Tax-payer," viz: E. G. Smith, from
Distinct No. !; Or. J. A. Andrews
is from No. 2); DIR. w. L. Moor, from
No. ); w. ID. Stoutamlre, from No.
i, and i. G. Yaeger, from No. 5, are
all, i'll my opinion, the "right men in
the right place" on the ticket to be
voted for at the next primary, and l
assure you that they will poll a very
large majority of the votes in this
precinct. In saying this | do not
mean to disparage in the least the
candidacy of any other gentleman in
the field. Some of them are warm
personal friends of mine, and for
many other positions which l could
name it would be pleasure for me
to work for them. But, fellow Dem
Ocrats of Leon county, the office of
County Commissioner is RESPONSE
BILE one. The Commissioners are the
men who fix our tax rates and dis
burse our money, and they must,
therefore, be men of business capac-
ity-men of good judgment, and free
from harmful prejudices, as well as
intelligent men. | might enlarge
upon this line of argument at con-
siderable length, but deem it neces-
sary only to direct attention to it,
and urge the voters of other precincts
to give it some thought and help us
elect the gentlemen mentioned.
That done, we can rest assured taxes
will be low and money economically
expended for the next two years.

Mr.. Luxford is a travelling repre-

as saying on the stump that 90 per
cent, of Jacksonville 1people9are OPP
posed to Capital removal, and that
such a statement going out into the
State, 6omipg:frem me; will. damage
our chances. I didn't say it. What
L did|say, OF hied to say, was that,
because of the absurd attitude of the
State Committee, as soon as it was
learned by our people they refused
to continue their contributions to the
subscribed fund; and that for the
same reason; out of an assessment or
levy of $4,000 the Capital Removal
Committee. realized only $1,000,
that being the amount reported
at the. meeting of the Asso-
citation a few days ago. This was
about 4 per cent OF the levy, and as
| interpreted it, it meant that at
least 80 per cent of the wealth Of
Jacksonville, when It's owners learned
that an attempt was contemplated of
deprivlng her voters of their man
hood in voting on Capital removal,
was opposed to Capital removal
when coupled with such burden

the teacher wanted to show the
brightness of the pupils, and asked
the superintendent to examine a

A Wild Goose Chase.

Mr., Robt. w. Bannerman, for
mer resident of this county, who
moved over into Gadsden county
several years ago, to raise tobacco,
had a novel experience a few days
ago.
He had, as all the progressive to-
bacco growers are now doing, COW
cred his five acre tobacco field with
cheese cloth and on a Sunday morn
ing going down to the field was
amazed to see a flock of wild geese
caught under the cloth. He and his
men had lively wild goose chase,
one that they will not soon forget,
the result of which was more profit
able than is the usual luck of other
persons who go on wild goose chases,
for he succeeded in bagging four of
the flock with his gun and two more
were killed with sticks. The geese,
in flying over the field, had evidently
in the moonlight, mistaken the large
cloth covered area to be a sheet of
water and darted down to rest them
selves before continuing their flight
to the coast, and had broken through
the thin cloth and found themselves
caught in a trap. However, they
were badly fooled set of geese, and
NJ. Bannerman had most novel ex-
perience and six fine geese for his
Sundays dinner.

The Panama Hat.

''The cheapest straw hat to buy"
said a man who OWLS 4 beauty, lis,
after all, Panama, like this. Look
here" He took down his big white
hat, which was creased down the mid
die like pair of trousers, and rolled it
up tight; then he tossed it in the air.
With IL cracking sound it spread open
and fluttered down to the llour in its
original shape, deep center CREASE and
all. You could soak this hat for Il,
week. he continued. and iron it out
flat afterward, but when you came to;
put it on again it would he just as yOul
see it now.
"WOmen in Mexico aud roundabout
all that region make the hats, using
straw that has been selected with more
care than could tell you of. The art
has been handed down in their families
from one generation to another, and it
is Il secret art. unknown to any other
people in the world.
''ThcSe women, living so far away
from everything. are ignorant Of the
fashions, and that is why the hats
never change their ugly shape. If they
were fashiOnably made, the demand
for them would be enormous. As it is,
hatters travel through all that country
and buy them up at good prices
''The perfect Panama hat costs at
least $50. and if you should pay $50 for
big and unusually light one you
would not be getting stuck.
