WASHINGTON matrons have been
buncoed by Il young woman who
recently went about in fasbionab BILE
circles with samples of soap, which
she presented with lavish generos-
ity, asking a complimentary ac-
acknowledgement. In almost every
case the lady complied with her
request and wrote a pleasant note
saying that she had used the soap
and liked it. Needless to say,
these ladies never suspected that
their letters would be used as an
advertisement, and have been over

RIGHT QUALIFICATIONS.

In his inaugural address Presi-
dent Mckinley said: Honesty
capacity and industry are nowhere
more indispensable than in public
employment" The president was
referring to governmental affairs
but the statement applies equally
to the government of munich
pality.
And these three requisites
characterizing as they do each
candidate upon the Citizens ticket,
commend the entire ticket to the
voters of Florence. 1t is thor
ough business ticket combining
with it the interests of labor
There isn't a flaw in it, 1t will
win on its merits, just as it is pre-
sented. No changes are neces-
sary, and it needs not the endorse
ment of any self constituted polit-
ical party as seems to be the case
in the opposition ticket The
Citizens ticket represents all
parties and all factions. The in
telligent voter will at once recog-
nize in it not only honesty, capacity
and industry, but combined with
these requisites is absolute har-
mony of sentiment, standing as it
does for the greatest good to the
greatest number.
The ticket will appeal to every
citizen of Florence who believes
in business like administration
of municipal affairs.

A NEW FIR1.
A Model Real Estate, Insurance
and Rental Agency.


Randall & Gordon, newly
formed firm composed of S. Nj.
Randall and Il. X. Gordon, began
business today in the Office oppo-
site the postoffice formerly occu-
pied by George ID johnson The
firm has engaged in the real estate
and insurance business, which in
cludes among the adjuncts, loans,
conveyancing, examining titles
and in fact any and all business of
like character in connection with
first class office. The new firm
proposes to give the same careful
consideration to customers that
was characteristic of the late
Judge johnson and consequently
solicits the patronage extended
that gentleman in addition to
which, naturally, any new patrons
will be welcomed The firm will
be represented solely by the part
uers mentioned. A complete list
of real estate propositions on hand
will be submitted to the public in
The TRIBUNE. The firm repre-
sents five leading insurance CON-
panies and is prepared to execute
any business in that line to the
customers best advantage. Both
members are notaries public. A
stenographer and typewriter will
always be on hand for the con-
venience of the public. The in
dividual members of the firm are
so we'll known that anything be-
yond mere mention is superhuous.
Mr.. Randall, passed most of his
boyhood days here, his father hav-
ing resided in Florence for nearly
generation, and Mr.. Gordon,
who has been teaching here for the
past three years until January lst,
is equally well known. Since
New Years, Mr.. Gordon has acted
in the capacity of confidential
manager for Judge johnson and
has acquired an enviable reputa-
ton in such brief period for his
strict attention to business. Hence
the new firm starts out with the
brightest of prospects. Attention
is particularly directed to the
firms ad which appears in this
issue.

SAID a prominent citizen ye

SAID prominent citizen yes
terday, Conditions are improving
In Caesars time there was but one
man; now there are FIVE" He was
referring to the little farce enacted
Saturday night by five men who
arrogate to themselves the right
to say 1--WE, the democratic party. +"
Now wouldn't it jar you! Six
months ago 800 people of Florence
constituted the democratic party
in Florence. Where are the 500? !?
The majority of them are still dem
ocrats, but they are of the kind
that will put good government
ahead of party predjudice, or party
rules as dictated by a handful of
self-constituted leaders, and their
votes will be cast for the Citizens
ticket. 1t was nervy little bluff,
but good democrats will call the
hand of the five.

Electric Parade.

Talk about your minstrel pa
rades, s,-they weren't in it for a
minute with the one that greeted
the citizens of Florence at $3.50 a.
m. today. Reference is made to
the material for the construction
of the new electric road, part of
which arrived Saturday night
Promptly at Z O'Clock this morn
ing, twelve teams began loading
the material, three wagons taking
poles, eight loading sixty pound
rails, and the rear barouche piling
up to the guards with ties. In the
short space of an hour and half,
the procession was ready to move
and proceeded to Main street
where the long line of wagons
strung out for two blocks while
the populace admired, the "othcial
photographer did business with
his camera and half score of
kodaks appeared from sundry
stores and offices. The string
then moved on to the scene of
operations. where work was begun
in dead earnest. The poles are
thirty feet long and came from
Idaho, and the rails from Pueblo.
The laying of the steel will prob
ably be started in the latter end of
the week.
The Florence daily tribune., 1901-03-11

The long procession of teams
hauling poles and rails for the
electric street railway this morn
ing, should put to shame the
croakers who have expressed doubt
of the good faith of the promoters
of the enterprise. That the Flor
ence electric street railway is no
longer an abstract thing is evident.
Before the middle of the summer
Florence people will be riding in
splendidly equipped cars, and rap
id transit will certainly give the
city another impetus in its pro-
gress. Here's to the Florence
street railway.
