means a monopoly of the interest, which
Florida Democrats are taking in politics
this spring. The nomination for Attorney
General is being sought by both the pres
ent Incumbent. Judge William b. Lamar
and Hon. James II. Wills of Bradford
county, who was chairman of the House
judiciary Committee in the last Leglsla-
ture. These candidates have been before
the public about six months, and IL Is now
almost entirely safe TO say that Judge
Lamar will succeed himself for another
term. His record in the office is unassail-
able. and the people seem to admire his
legal ability, strict integrity, perfect
frankness in all things, and, above all,
the remarkable success which has attend
ed his efforts to protect the states inter-
ests in all litigation which has come un-
der his management. The merit and fit-
ness of Mr.. wills are abundantly recog-
nzed all over the state. but judging from
the fact thar Judge Lamar is daily gain
ing in the race, the people seem indispos-
ed to sanction change i'm this office yet
No one seems willing to venture predic-
tons as to whether Superintendent Sheats
and Commissioner Wombwell will defeat
all opposition to themselves. The former
IS opposed by Prof Tom f. McBeath, OF
Jacksonville. and the latter by State SEN
ator b. f. McLin, of Lake county, and
Representative S. r. OVerstreet of Suwa-
nee county. The most reliable opinion that
drifts up to The Capitol seems to be that
none Of the new men are strong enough
politically or sufficiently known to land
them i'm the cabinet and that unless some
thing Unforeseen happens, both Commits
sioner Wombwell and Superintendent
Sheats will serve the people four years
longer.

Under the articles of war the approval

Kirkman was accused Of being dronk on

Does the constitution follow the hag?"
he inquired.

the constitution is not. The only law
which follows the flag is the law Of war.

In response to a question asked by Mr.

Location of the Habitable Buildings
One Hundred Years Ago.

At a recent meeting of the Columbia His
torical Society an address was made by Mr.
w. B. Bryan on the appearance OF the city
in the year 1900. especially with reference
to the location of the buildings. His re-
marks were illustrated by a. map of the
city, which showed the location by squares
of the habtable buildings on the l4th Of
May. 1900. The information given was COM
piled from tabulated statement made by
Thomas Monroe, the clerk of the city COM
missioners. and by the latter transmitted
December 4. 1S0D to President Jefferson,
who in turn sent it January IL. 1902 to
Congress. with other information relative
to the CITY, and it was printed by that body
in the year 1902. .-t:1. u
The statement Of Mr. Monroe may be
considered official, as he was the represen-.
tative of the commissioners, who were the
governing power Of the city at that time
and had been since f791, when the location
of the seat Of government was formally an
nounced by PTesideift Washington. In ac-
cordance with the law, he appointed COM
missioners to lay out the site for the new
city, and to superintend the erection of the
buildings necessary for the accommodation
Of the executive DEPARTMENTS of the govern
ment and Congress. NJ
The enumeration made by Mr.. Monroe
was not very formidable affair. as Mr.
Bryan pointed out ~ the course of his add
dress. as at that time the population of the
city was only about $500, and consisted
mainly of the workfnen employed on the
public buildings; the, employees of the gov
eminent and others making their home. as
a rule. either III GEORGETOWN or in the coun-
try about the city. In addition to giving
the number of houses and their location by
squares in the City Mr. Monroe makes a
further subdivision and states how many of
the buildings On each square were built Of
wood and how many of brick. The total
number of buildings thus recorded was 372
and of this total 100 were, brick and 263
were frame.
The figures given by Mr.. Monroe were
taken from the tabular form and trans
ferred to modern map Of the city. and in
this way was secured a rather graphic rep
resentation of the appearance of the city one
hundred years ago. The squares shown by
the table of Mr.. Monroe as containing build
ings were indicated by red dots on map
prepared through the kindness of Mr.. Look
er, the city surveyor. Subsequently, through
the courtesy of DR.. Marcus Baker, the car
tographer of the United States geological
survey. an outline map of the city was
made. On this map each of the black dots
indicate building. The only additional in
formation given in the tables which Is not
shown on the map is the division into brick
and frame houses

improvements at that time, thus Indicating
