SHALL WE REFUSE.

We are told by members of the
finance committee khat considerable
trouble is being exs serienced in col
lecting funds to cary on the anti
Capital Removal campaign. We
have heretofore ansidered it un-
necessary to urge u BON the people Of
Leon county the Importance of con-
-tributing literally t this fund, labor
ing, as we were, finder the belief
that for this one me at least they
would understand 4the necessity for
it, and are surprises beyond express
sion that certain prominent people
absolutely refuse t3give anything.
1t might just as ! fell be understood
now, as at any futrF re time, therefore,
that upon the raj fng of this fund
depends the resu of the Capital
Campaign. Jacks Snville and other
places have sufk kiency of funds
more than we e ger. contemplated
raising-and are VI 2ging a determined
and vigorous warfS ire upon this city.
If we sit idlyt by and have
nothing to say, tho Capital is just as
sure to be move as election day
comes on; or, in d her words, the ex-
preston of the pei 4ple will be in favor
thereof, and the hances are ten to
one that the legis& tors would follow
the tacit instructid ns of their constit-
uents. On the QtE er hand, if we meet
the arguments on The other side and
inform the voters bf the State of the
real situation, and show them the re-
suits that would Kollow the adoption
of the Capital rer oval scheme, there
is little doubt but THAT they will vote
it down by an oye erwhelming major
ity.
As matter Of fact few people
here cannot bear the burden of thi
campaign. It is foo much to expec
it of them. We Are all benefited il

have no reason to think that a
single grape was taken, and to this
date, August 18th, the plants are still
yielding their seeds to the birds.
Plant the seed in the earliest spring
and make several successive paintings
at short intervals of time.
The birds attracted to the first
fruits become habituated to the re-
sort, and, preferring the seed to any
other tempter, are thus attracted un-
til the grapes are harvested.
By this simple, economical expedi-
ent the winners harvest is rendered
secure, and the slaughter of the val
liable little innocents is rendered un-
necessary.
Once planted the sunfower will re-
new itself by annual volunteers.

Let Us Reason Together.


Since the question of Capital re-
mOval has been injected into the
State Democratic platform and into
the present political campaign we
have gave it our best thought. We
have studied it pro- and con-, for and
against, and now we want to talk
about it to our readers.
. In the investigation Of every mat
ter that comes up for decision two
questions should be considered:
First-Is it right?
Seconds there any money in it?
In the investigation of the Capital
removal question let's look into it
from these two standpoints.
And first, is it right?
In considering this question it be-
comes necessary to inquire, who
started this clamor for the Capital to
be removed?
Does the cry come from the masses
Of the people who are the real
sovereigns of Florida?
No, they haven't opened their
mouths on the subject.
Does the clamor come from the
tarmers-the bone and sinew of our
land-because of the inconvenience
caused them ky the Capital being at
Tallahassee?
No, they havn't said one word
about it.

vocates the reelection of Mckinley,
insists upon a more active policy in
regard to reformatory and cleaning
processes in Cuba. The Post is dis
gusted with the twaddIe about Rath-
bone which comes mainly from ad-
ministration circles. The endeavor
is made to hold up this man, who
was highest in authority among the
Cuban officials already besmirched,
as an llnsuspecting victim rather than
a criminal.
The Post says:
"All this is veriest rot. RathbOne
is deserving of no sympathy what
ever. There is not an extenuating
circumstance or mitigating feature of
his case. He is an arrant rogue. His
manner of pilfering was even more
detestable than that of Neely or
Reeves. Settingan example to them
of turning trust funds to his personal
uses, it is little wonder that, with &C
cess to the revenues and lacking in
moral principle, they robbed in bulk
while winking at the directors short
comlngs.
'"His amazing expense accounts and
the damaging review of his malad-
ministration which Mr.. Bristow has
made reveal Rathbone in his true
colors. His record convicts him as q

sOnal wearing apparel out of the

the bars should be his portion. Ht

or consideration. The credulouS Gu

American people do not"
We have no doubt that the full
revelation of official abuses anC
crimes in Cuba will make a very
nasty record. 1t is. natural that tn,

the facts laid bare, but how can i
profit by holding them back for cam

"Keep the State Capital away
from the sea coast" exclaim the ig-
nOrant opponents of Jacksonville.
This city is twenty-five miles from
the sea, farther than the present Cap
ital City. Some of the most violent
epidemics have ragged at St. Marks
and Newport since the Capital was
located at Tallahassee, and TalIahas-
see escaped, and why not Jackson
Ville?-Jacksonville Metropolis. One
reason Tallahassee has always es-
capped Especially in case of yellow fe-

During the big epidemic in Jackson

never fully agreed upon as yellow
fever, and in fact only showed a few
symptoms. -.:

BUSINESS NOTICE.

Since the undersigned took charge
of this paper he has been attempting
to do the. work heretofore done by
two men. The result has been as
might have been expected. So much
of his time has been taken up with
the direction of the business indoors
that he has not been able to keep the
paper up to the standard that is de-
sired, and collections have been sadly
neglected. Both these things have
been a serious drawback.
To remedy~them, the services of
Mi. Howard Gamble have been Sc
cured. He will do the collecting and
assist in various ways in the manage
ment and carrying on of the business.
Mr.. Gamble is a native Tallahasseean,
and hence needs no introduction to
the people of this section of the State.
Any favors shown him-especially in
oar line of business be duly
appreciated. JOHN G. TRICE.

OLD MAN Is BADLY BEATEN
MADE DIsPARAGING REMARKS
ABOUT GEORGE LAIL.
Latter Was Arrested and Locked Up,
T But Later Released in S1oC
Bail.

John Chinn, q man about 20 years OF
age, was terribly beaten by George
Lail, a blacksmith. yesterday afternoon
in fight at the Silver Coin saloon on
West Second South street. Lail jumped
on him because of some disparagins
remark the aged man is alleged to have
made regarding the others family. The
shock was 50 severe that Chinn lost
consciousness and was dazed for hours
afterWard There was a slight con-
cussion of the brain and probably in
ternal injuries, which, on account Of
the injured mans years, may disable
him permanently. He was taken to the
Holy Cross hospital, City Physician
King dressing his injuries.
Chinn has lived with Lail, whose
home is on the southern outskirts Of
town, for the past eleven months, and
a week ago was sent away from there
to shift for himself. Yesterday Lail
brought some clothes belonging to
Chinn into town and met him at the
saloon. They had some words there,
Lail being partially under the influence
Of liquor. The blacksmith claims Chinn
abused his family and then he struck
him. Witnesses say that after the old
man was down Lail kicked him brutal
ly. Both men were brought TO police
headquarters and Lail was locked up
He was later released on bonds of 800.
