FAMOUS In FLORiDe HISTORY.

At o'clock last night the sieud,.
/ thread which held the above named
distinguished citizen Of Ocala to
earth was severed by the Last Reaper

His last hours were most peaceful
Almost his last act WAS to clasp his

General Dickson was the most con-
spicuous soldier Florida contributed
to the civil war.
What General Francis Marion was
to South CarOnina in the revolution
airy war General Dickson was L.
Florida in our civil struggle,
His name was synonym of victory
and every household felt safe when
General Dickson was near.
With a single company under his
command he patrOled nearly the en-
tire coast of east and south Florida
aud beat back the enemy a. often a.
they ventured into the interior.
II lis forced marches were wonderful
his captures were p.auned aud ~.
ecuted with consummate skill, aud
his repeated victories over great odds.
filled the state with the glory rf his
name.
His desperate engagements with the
enemy at Palatka, Horse Landing on
the st. Johns river when be captured
gunboat; Braddock'7 Farm in Noiu-
STA county; Gainesville, No. /, Green
Cove, st. Augustine, and again at Pa
latka where his gallant son, "Charley'
was killed, was repetition of the
same story: Dickson won over
great odds"
1t was nothing unusual for his
command to capture more than
double their mum Der without the loss
of man, and during the continuance
of the struggle Dickson and his conn
mand killed and captured more than
ten times their number.
General Decisions achievements

Essex County Court.

The approaching term of Essex
County Court, commencing October 7,
promises to be longer than usual, and
quite interesting. There are II cases on
the bar docket, including two state cases,
and on the chancery docket, of which
4 are injunction proceedings. OF the
cases on the bar docket ID are set for
trial by jury and 3 for the Court. Those
marked for the jury include the case of
Allen VS.. Town of Maidstone, and John
Tracy VS.. G. T. Ry. Co. The former
has been tried once and resulted in a
disagreement of the jury. There are
nine applications for divorce. From
our observation there has been very lit
tie criminal business hat itching for the
term, save in the work of incendiarism
in Canaan. The arrest of a self-con-
fessed incendiary, his incarceration in
Guildhall Jail and suicide there, has not
cleared up the mystery, inasmuch as an
other incendiary fire has occurred in
that town since the arrest of this man,
and while he was in Jail. The grand
jury's investigation of this matter will
doubtless be as thorough as possible
Hon. John w. Rowell, chief judge, will
preside. The grand and petit jurors
drawn and summoned for the term are
as follows:

Letter to The Bartlett Company
ISIdnd p0ad. II.

Dear Sirs: Is gallon of paint a gal
lon of paint, or half-a-gallon2 Some
times one, sometimes the other. T.. 7.
Lynch, and his predecessor, Delhi, n.
Y, sold a well-known Mixed Paint for
twenty years-lt's good paint, as
mixed paints go.
n. Avery owns two houses exactly
alike there. He painted one four years
ago with this Mixed Paint-took twelve
gallons. Last spring, he painted the
other house with Devoe bought II gal
Ions and had six gallons LETT. Same
painter George Gilbert. Same result,
SO far as looks go.
But the point of this tale is; LIST
that paint is dear or cheap according
to what it is; no matter about the price.
2nd, That gallon of one kind of paint
can contain twice as much paint as a
gallon of another kind of paint.
Deyoe goes twice as far as Mixed
Paint-two to one-but that isn't all.
This story, however, skips the rest-how
it wears is the rest.
Another, same town-Ferguson &
Thompson's store was painted some
years ago with this same Mixed Paint
80 gallons. Reprinted last spring
with Devoe. Mr.. Lynch said l6 gallons
would be enough. They have gallons
left.
Yours truly,

We learn with regret that Martin b.
Noyes, the proprietor Of the Cold Spring
House at Averill, lies in critical condi-
ton afflicted with a stroke of paralysis,
which renders him almost if not entirely
unconscious. He has been out of health
for some time, but this came suddenly
upon him last Thursday and very little
hopes are entertained of his recovery.
Mr.. Noyes being a characteristic man
so full of geniality and hospitality, and
in many respects an uniquely attractive
man, shaped for rustic pursuits and en-
tertainments, great sympathy is mani
tested for him in his misfortune. Many
are looking upon him as one who pro-
duces more rustic pleasantness than
probably any other man in the commu-
nifty and who has never cast shade of
gloom on any sojourner in his pleasant
little forest home.
It's what you save, not what you earn
that counts, and saving on the cost of
stoves, ranges and furnaces for heating
your homes is where most people enjoy
savings, particularly if they know they
are getting the best there is at the same
time. The question of heating homes
the coming winter in the present stu-
alton of inability to procure coal is a
burning one, but if you will turn to the
last page of this paper and read the full

worth Store Co. you will find that this
enterprising firm has made an easy solu-
ton of the question possible. Mr.. Bos-
worth wants you to get acquainted with

the same opinion The operation was

UNWORTHY A GREAT MAN.

President Roosevelt has passed Off
cial judgment on the Schley Santiago
controversy and comse to the remark
able conclusion that Schley did we'll
but that Sampson was technically in
command, but that the captains fought
the battle, and that Wainwright, of the
Gloucester, was the real hero.
President Roosevelt rendered the sill
liestdecision in the Schley case imagin-
able. 1t was ssraddle, and an awkward
one at that. The American people are
not fools, and they decided this case be-
fore Roosevelt and the naval clique
did, and Schley's place is irrevocably
fixed in history as history can make it
as the hero in command at Santiago.
and no twisting OF language can change
it. Roosevelt did himself a greater
injustice than he did Schley in render
ing such silly and unreasonable iudg-
ment.

CLIMATIC CONDITIONS.

The Savannah News very properly re-
Dukes Governor Taft who in referring to
the climatic and health conditions of
the Philippine Islands, told the senate
committee that 1.-THE health of the
troops there when engaged in cam
paigning was about as good as it would
be IN the Southern states" Evidently
Governor Taft does not know great
deal about the Southern states. He
probably imagines that their climate is
very hot and humid throughout the
summer, and that troops in the South
would become enervated and unfit for
duty by the heat. AS a matter of fact.
the climatic and health conditions of
the South are quite as good as those of
the North, if not indeed better. Sun
stroke is rare in the South and relative
~ common as far north as Boston. TAX
ing the summer through, there are
more pleasant days in Georgia, for in
stance, than in New York. This is true
even in winter or summer in Marietta,
and Governor Taft should come South
in summer and see how far ne mistakes
the health conditions of our climate.

TWO BLACKEUARDS

Senators Tillman and McLaurin. of
South Carolina, had fist fight in the
senate at 2:45 Saturday afternoon.
doubtless to celebrate George Washing
toms birthday.
Tillman.was speaking on the Philip
pine tariff bill, when he had tilt with
Senator Spooner, in which Tillman de-
clared that the political patronage in
South Carolina had been parceled out
to asenator from his state, presumably
for his vote on the Paris treaty.
McLaurin. who was out of the room.
was sent for and arose to personal priv
ilege, and said Tillman's statement was
a wilful, deliberate and'malicious lie.
Tillman jumped over chairs and
struck McLaurin in the face. A vicious
encounter followed.
Both men clinched and struck fran
Gieally at each other, when Assistant
;oergeant-at-Arms Layton sprang be-
tween them
Several senator's rushed to the spot.
but with great difficulty the senator's
were parted.
The Senate went Immediately into
executive session and declared by reso-
luton that the senators were in con-
tempt and had outraged the dignity of
that body. Their breach of good man.
ners were referred to the committee on
privileges and elections.
The proper thing to do is to expel
both of them and let South Carolina
elect two decent senators to represent
her in that body.

IRREPRESSIBLE CONFLICT.

The dispensary won in Rome by a
majority of 269. The anti-dispensary
advocates give notice of contest, and
the excitement in Rome is still intense.
The whiskey fight will never be set
tied, because there are always two fac
tions, one for and the other against.
Good and evil will continue to exist,
contending for the mastery, as long as
time shall last. The Master said let
the tares and wheat grow together un-
til the harvest, the Judgment day, and
He will separate the one from the
other; the wheat He will gather into
His kingdom, but the tares will be
burned. So it is; then men who be-
lleve in the right must contend for the
right, regardless of consequences.
