THE LAST CONVENTION.

The state democratic convention
to be held in Jacksonville June
10Th, will be the last of its kind in
Florida. unless the primary cleo
ton plan of nominating candidates
shall be found wanting. A major
lty OF the delegates to the conven-
ton have been instructed to vote
for the abrogation of the conven-
ton and the substitution of the
primary. So far as the TELEGRAPH
is concerned this turn in political
affairs suits us to a T. We have
always advocated the primary cleo
ton for the nomination of all of.
fcerS. We believe the primary
comes nearer than any other
method of subscribing the will of
the people, sndNthe individual voter
is entitledto the expression of his
choice inthe selection of officers.
Bradford county ought to fall in
line and have a primary for the
selecHOs of our democratic candi-
datsfDr senator and representa-
tive. With the candidates non-
inasd by primary conducted in
conf6rmity with the state law
foyerning such elections there will
bsno room for complaint about
spacked convention" and a dozen
other ills that the convention too
often begets.
At slimly attended district con- i
the Starke and Lake But
Ter districts have declared in favor
Of a convention for the nomination {
Of a senator and representatives, J
put if the executive committeeman I
rom the smaller districts come to '
he next meeting of the committee M
nStructedSby their constituents to V
ote for a primary, it will be so A
and the two larger dis ~
riots will fall into line as grace il
lily as you please. !

Recent events have made it
very plain that Judge Jennings
will go into the state convention

the victor is still problematical.

Jugs an Floats.

There are various things used as
floats In fishing. from the pretty little
painted floats Of cork up to good sized
jugs. these last being used In Juggling
for catfish In western rivers. The jug
used as a float Is tightly corked, and
the rope or line that serves as a fish
line Is tied to the handle. the hook ut
the other end. on the bottom being
bated with frog or other attractive
morsel. The jug may be used as q
float for a single line. or two jugs may
be placed as floats, one at either end Of
q trot line. from which a number OF
baited lines depend.
A big catfish OF the kind not uncom-
mon in western rivers. weighing 80 or
100 or more pounds, would even make
a jug bounce lively in the water, and n
comparatively small fish would give it
motion. whereupon the fisherman. who
might be on the bank waiting develop
ments. would put of In his skif and
take up the line.-New York Sun.

NO POCKETS IN A STROUD.

Oh, yc who bow at Mammon's shrine,
Whose hearts with greed are growing cold
Who turn your backs on things divine
And worship but the god OF gold,
Whit will it profit you when death
Lays low the head so kingly proud
And robs the wasted form Of breath2
There ars no pockets in shroud.
Your thoughts by day, your dreams by night.
Are but OF grasping golden gain:
Your guide is but the beacon light
OF riches burning In your brain.
You cast all nobler aims behind
And struggle as madding crowd
To clutch the dollars, but you'll find
There arc no pockets in 4 shroud.
Yc usurcrs who grind the poor
Beneath a cold. relentless ncel,
Who ovors}iadow many door
With elJud Of misery and feel
No sympathy TO see them lie
Beneath the hand of sorrow cowcd.
Remember when you come to die
There ere no pockets in shroud.
What IS I lie profit TO the man
Whose life TO Mammon las l,~en giyenY
A bridge OF gold can never span
The gulf. between the earth and heayeni
What will 1t be to him to find
The wealth with which lie is endowed
At deaths gate mist be left behind?
There are no pockets in sliroud.
This life is but n span; today
We're here. tomorrow we gone,
Have faded from the earth away
Into ctcrnty's strange dawn
Yet in the hungry greed for gains
Too many Mt the gold shrine bowed
Forget that when the life spark wanes
There are no pockets i'm q shroutl
