Famous Egg Finder.

amusing story OF how some
country boys played it on q. city
girl who was visiting at the farm
of their fa Their. The second day
of her visit she announced that
she intended to gather the Glove
lyo eggs. The boys of the family
encouraged her in the enterprise
and recited to her some wonder
full stories about the egg bust
ness. The News continues the
narrative as follows:
'tAs none of the family had
been to town for a few weeks the
eggs had accumulated to the
number of 200. The boys took
100 of these and placed them in
three orfour made-to-order nests
in the barn and started the
young lady out:cIn ten minutes
she returned to the house with
the eggs in her apron. v bile she
was at the house, the boys de-
posted the other 100 eggs in
different places. heyouug lady,
aunt, who was in the game, told
her to go back and she might
find some more as the hens were
great layers. She did SO and
found another 100. Again the
boys fixed the first 100 and
again the young lady found
them. This continued aatill Miss
Meade had brought 500 erns to
the house. When she announced
that she could not find any more,
her aunt said she had found a
good many, but some days the
hens did notdo as well as othdrs.
"The young lady did not hunt
any more eggs. 1t is "too fatigu-
ing" she said. She went home
and told of her egg experience
and what wonderful hens her
aunt has, and still she wonders
why people look at her SO funny
every time she tells it,

According to the Gainesville
Sun the State pension list has
increased from 800 to 140O dur
ing the past year, and the end is
not yet. This means at least
$4,000 per year for pensions,
but while the sum may appear
large it could not be appropriate
ed for a better purpose. 1t is
the intention of the law to pro
vide a pension for those old con-
federate soldiers who are unable
to earn a livelihood, and it is the
most liberal law of the kind in
any State in the Union"

STUDY THE CALI.

From this time it may be truly
said the campaign is on. The
executive committee of the
county has met, formulated its
call and prescribed the rules
under and by which the nomina'
ting primary shall be held. This
action upon the part of the
party managers marks the true
beginning of the campaign. Can
didates will now come forth and
hold themselves up to the view
of the voters while they plead
for the votes of the masses.
To properly understand the
methods of voting it is necessary
that the rules be carefully
studied by the voters, and we
therefore recommend to our
readers a careful perusal of the
official call as it appears in these
columns. Familiarize yourself
thoroughly with the rules as
laid down and then when the
day comes you will be prepared
to cast your ballot for the best
interest of the county.

BOAR ON THE PHILIPPINES.

The venerable Massachusetts,
Senator has never failed to air
his opinions of the Philippine
situation, Though a republican
he is not nor has he been in
accord with his party in its Phil
ippiue policy, and on every Cc-
casiou he has denounced as
cruel the war now being waged
by this government in the Phil
ippine island.
In the Senate the other day
the Senator delivered a speech
on this question in which he
clearly defined his position. The
speech was intensely interesting
and was listened to by the Sena-
tors with profound attention.
Contrasting the situation in Cuba
iththat existing in the Philip.
pines. he said:
What have your ideals cost
you? For the Philippine islam DIS
you have had to repeal the
Declaration Of Independence.
For Cuba you have had to reaf-
firm aud give it new lustre, For
the Philippine Islands you have
had to convert the Monroe doct.
rine into doctrine OF mere self.
ishuess. For Cuba you have
acted on il, and indicated Il. In
Cuba you have the eternal
gratitude OF a free people In
the Philippine Islands You have
the hatred and sullen submission
Of a subjugated people From
Cuba you have brought home
nothing but glory. From the
Philippines you have brought
home nothing of glory"

Mr.. Beard is a fine speaker and he left
a good impression with those who heard
him.
Judge Lamar then again srose and for
about half an hour discussed questions
to which he had not referred in hiE first
speech. He replied to the criti' ism
against him because he has not resign

asked why such criticism was not also

The following excellent advice
from the Sanford Chronicle is
worthy of 1eing needed by every
voter in the State. The Chroni-
Gle says: There are two classes
of men that should not be sent
to the legislature. They are the
men who cannot save enough of
the salary paid members to en-.
able them to settle their board
bills, aud men who manage to
save several times more than
sheir salaries amount to. The
formet class dissipates and the
latter must, undoubtedly "sell
ont" TGe clerk who works for
asalary of $40 a week and spends
twice that amount is dangerous
to his employer, and so to his
constituents is a representative
or senator who makes more than
his salary while at Tallahassee
serving the dear people" Mel
Their Of these men should be
couutenanced by the voter, who
should keep sharp eye on all
candidates and promptly sit up
on either class that offers.
The good name Of the. State aud
the honor of the people he is
supposed to represent demand
that he be a man and an honest
