Lake Butler Bulletin: Some of our ex-
changes are speaking of a dark horse to
be the winner in the gubernatorial con-
test now being waged by five worthy gen.
tlemen. or these Messrs. Beggs and My
ers are easily in the lead. The Bulletin
holds TO the position that no dark horse
ought to be encouraged The people want
a plain, open fight Let him who wants an
honor speak for the same either himself
directly or by his friends. Dark horses
are never the choice of the people; they
usually get plum that they do not de-
sire. No, let the contest be made wholly
between the candidates and before the
people, and let the best one win.

ing its annual meeting at the Board of
Trade rooms, in Jacksonville. An excel

Four months of cigar-making has
elapsed now, and still Tampa is ahead in
output, and demand for goods. Manu-
fGcturers are of the opinion that there
will be no change in the situation and
that the business will expand rather than
fall off. The business last week was up
to the average and many cases in excess
of the average for the same week last
year. The demand is general and covers
the wide Union, including the frost-bit
ten regions of the Klondike, where even
the miners and business N IN want Tampa
cigars and regular shipments go there.
The distribution is also good in the West,
where there is a strong demand. During
the week which closed Saturday evening,
there were 49I cases of cigars shipped
from this city. This is against 81 for
the corresponding week last year, and
shows an increase of 12S bales over the
week for last year The shipment OF
cigars for the year 1900 to date amounts
to 1853 cases. For the corresponding pc
riod last year there were 1903 cases ship
ped, which shows an increase of 1.955
cases for this year. The eases shipped
for the year are averaged to hold 81, 765 900
cigars as a total shipment. In addition
to the records from which these figures
are taken, there are hundreds of pack
ages shipped each week which are not
counted After careful eXamina ton OF
this it has been found that an average
of 5000 cigars a week are shipped by va
rlous factories packed in small packages
and sent out for small orders. This add
ed TO the product of the week would raise
IL to the two and half million point
