very close relation TO real tenn
perance work, but the last report
of the national superintendent of
that department shows to what
breadth this work has been car
ried, and how closely after all, it
is related to missionary temper
ance and purity work. The Flow
er Mission is not confined to the
giving of flowers, though that
alone would be worthy work but
with the flowers goes a text Of
scripture and q bow of white RIB

way into many desolate places;
pictures, leaflets and bibles as

successor expresses it, "no fra

and further remarks that every |
high cause, every noble philan

islands of the sea. The present
congress is to consider and enact

Mrs. NJ. D. Ellis, who is at Wash

The manufacturers Record SAYS
that the State Capitol of South Caro-
lima is just being completed. At the
last session of the Legislature s175,-
900 was appropriated, with which
amount it was hoped the building
could be finished sum by the
way nearly double the amount prom
ised by Jacksonville. With the above
appropriation hetax-payers Of South
Carolina will have spent $2,9O0,OO0
on their new Capitol. And, Judging
from the cut of the building shown in
the Record, it is no larger than the
Capitol at Tallahassee. The tax
payers of Florida will not let them
selves be fooled into beginning an un-
dertaking the cost of which (before a
single plan has been DRAWN has been
estimated would be $1,2OO,O0O, to
which ito use the Jacksonville Capt.

A New Capital.

At the State Convention a section
of the platform declared the present
Capitol not commodious enough for
the present demands of the State, and
demanded that ample accommoda-
tiOns be provided.
Now the white Democratic voters
of the State are called upon to decide
whether Tallahassee or some other
place shall be the Capital. When
the voters come to the polls to cast a
ballot let them ask the following
questions:
First. Do the present needs de-
mand removal of the Capital?
Second. Will it be profitable to
the Taxpayer Of the State to move
the Capital and incur a bonded in
debtedness of $1,OOO,O00.00, and
pay interest on it at the rate of $40, !
100000 per annum, to satisfy tbs
whims of a few politicians?
Third. Will it not do as we'll to
spend a nominal sum in repairs Of
the present building and not try ID
raise S1,O0O,OOO.OO on S94,OOO,OO0.OS
worth of property, thus adding
largely to the burdens of the taxi
payer who has no business at thk
Capital and does not go there NOR
than once in a life time? |
Fourth. Is it for the interest of the
dear people of the State or what
Jacksonville can get out of it, that
its papers are howling so about? il
is not the burdens of the people Or
the convenience of anyone, it is
simply what will the Capital BE
worth to that city.
Fifth. Are the voters of TaylDr
county ready to vote for measuFe
that will increase their taxes and BE
of no material advantage to anyone
It is to be hoped that every DEN
Ocratic vote in the county will be c%st
against a measure that is not faiIl
placed before the people. !.
1t is question that should be sub
mitted to every taxpayer in the
State and not part of them. That
a part of the citizens should vote to
settle an Indebtedness upon the
whole State is not in keeping with
the spirit of our COnstitution.-Phe

A well-known young Jacksonville
man in this city last week, made
some interesting comments on the
pending Capital location issue.
Among other things, he said: ''Jack-
sonville is my home, and shall, on
account of local pride and loyalty
to my home town, vote to have the
State Capital moved to Jacksonville;
but if l was large taxpayer, l
would never think of piling on the
great additional burden of taxation
which this Capital movement is sure
to make necessary. One can form
an idea as to how much the first ap-
preparation for removal will be, but
how are we to know where the cost
will stop. 1t would be a fine thing for
Jacksonville, but mighty tough on
the taxpayers of the rest of the the
State"
