In this issue the Democratic state
and Populist county tickets are print
ed as they will appear on the official
ballot. The vacant places on the
county ticket are those Of states at
Iorney, county Judge, superintendent
Of schools, ,oroner and three county
commissioners. Still, the tickets are
exceptionally strong and should re-
ceive the support of every citizen who
believes in an honest and competent
administration Of state and county
affairs.
The condition as to county COM
missioners is the result of as unjust a
law as was eyer placedson the statute
books. The Republican rings of
Brown and a few other counties hay-
ing ordinarily a Republican majority
in the county but not in majority Of
the commissioner districts, devised
this law to better further their self
ends. The right of the people of the
various commissioner districts to
elect their own representatives being
taken away, the districts might as
well be abolished. This law will in
eyitably come to plague its inventors.
The Republicans could not have
found candidates who could have de-
feated Commissioner Bockler and
Sheridan in their respective districts,
but by reason Of this nefarious law
they are to retire at a time when
their services would have been ex-
ceedingly valuable to the Taxpayers
of the county. During their terms
of Office contracts have been made
for the largest expenditures ever
made by the county, and it would
have been well ii they could haye
overlooked the completion Of; tho
court house contracts.

The Triumph Of Oraaulzed Labor.

This present year has been one of
signal triumph for the cause IF or
ganized labor. The last stand made
by the great corporations, the large
employers of labor, against the steady
advance of union labor was in the
anthracite coal fields. 1t will be re-
membered that years ago when union
labor was not so powerful Is it later
grew to be, the mine operators. fear
ing the growing strength OF the
unions, gradually supplanted the more
Intelligent American-born miners by
importations of the very lowest
classes Of labor from southern Europe.
Naturally enough they made poor
material for the labor organizers to
work upon, but after years Of per-
%sistent effort they were organized, and
how thoroughly the work was done
the recent strike has demonstrated.
Oh the 18th of Mayfelast when
las, oco of these stolidk krimy toilers

Sas a manifestation and test of
solidarity not generally known to
ave been yet attained by the unions
The in0tto Of organized labor is, san
Injury to one is the concern of all.n
The defeat Of the right Of the lowest
trade Of organized labor to deal
through the agency of the union with
the employer endangered the very
existence Of every labor union.
And so it came about that twas
our privilege to witness a most
momentous event, an event that NAV
be said to be epochal. These
Witted foreign laborers, brought
from over the sea to break and
demoralize union labor, were fated to
stand ia the forefront to wage the
decisive struggle with organized
capital, to secure beyond any future
cayil the right Of labor to deal with
the employer through the agency o1
the union. The strength of a chain
is gaugei by the weakest link. The
weak links in the chain OF the miners

but through the long tug and tension
the chain has stood the strafn. Wise
strategy always hurls the weight 81

GOSSIP ABOUT POLITICS.
Opposition to Commissioners Stew
ems Not Regarded as Serious.

An Atlanta special says: 1t may be
said properly that the state democratic
campaign has formerly opened. Joe
Terrell's headquarters at the Kimbail
House are crowded. Among the clans
that gather here there are compara-
lively few who represent Colonel
Estill and Mr.. Query. Their sup
porters are in the woods at work, they
say.
In the other races there is compare
lively little interest. The school COM
missionership, however, attracts the
most attention, and it would seem that
the opposition to Mr.. Glenn is anxious
to center on one of the candidates
against him and then force the other
candidates out of the field. Merritt OF
Valdosta appears to be developing the
greater strength, though at this time
it IS impossible to say who is the
stronger of the candidates now in the
race, as each one has strong partlsans,
and it may be that their frlends Will
keep them in the race to the finish,
though the partisans of the other can
didates concede that full field means
the almost certain reelection of Mr..
Glenn.
The opposition to Mr.. Stevens, com
missioner of agriculture, is not regard
ed as serious by the politicians of the
state. They say that Mr.. Stevens has
made an exceptionally fine officer, and
that his administration has met with
the most cordial approval of the peo-
pie of the state. In addition, they say
he is one of the best hand'shakers
Georgia ever saw and that, coupled
with the fact that he is bona-tide
successful farmer. makes him invincl-
BILE at this time.
1t can be said without fear of con-
tradiction that Governor Gambler is
Joe Terrell in quiet way,
having openly expressed a preference
for him in the present campaign.

rlosT PICTURESQUE ISLAND.
InsuIar Department Supplies In
formation.

The division of insular affairs has
prepared publication about the Isle
of Pines which is of pertinent interest
as the new government of Cuba viii
| be shortly inaugurated, with which
will be taken up, among other ques
| tions, the determination of the status
| of the Isle of Pines.
The island is 9S6 square miles In
area, or very nearly the size of the
state of Rhode Island, and has popu
lation of 3,199. In its physical fea'
lures it is very picturesque. In gen
eral the surface is plateau of so to
100 feet above the sea level, broken by
ridges, the most remarkable submits
being the Sierra de la Canada, 1000
feet, and Daguilla, 1900 feet, from
which may be had a view of the entire
island. The southern part, compris-
ing about one-third Of the entire area,
is an impossible cienaga, or salt bayou
and lagoon, interspersed by islets and
rocky lodges and occupied by fisher
men. The island has number of riv-
ers of excellent water, the most i'm
portant of which is the Nuevas, five
to ten feet deep and navigable four
or five miles.
The Isle of Pines is connected with a
labyrinth of reefs and islets, of which
the best known are the Jardines, SO
named from verdure clad isletS strewD
like gardens" amid blue waters and
from which fresh water bubbles up
from the deep, flowing probably in sub
terranean galleries from the mainland
The mineral springs, for which the is
land has a worldwide reputation, are
remarkable especially in pulmonary,
rheumatic and throat affections.
The climate is described as "deli.
cious, the air being pure and balmy and
dry" The wet season, or summer, eX-
tends from June until October. The
hottest hours are from 10 a. M. to II m.
About $50 D. m. the breeze from the
sea moderates the temperature. The
dry season, or winter, extends from DC.
tober to June. The annual rainfall is
less than ON the gulf coast. The aver.
age of rainy days is ten in the month,
and the average humidity 10 per cent.
The mean annual temperature is "a
degrees. The prevailing winds are the
northeast trades, which blow with but
little variation throughout the year,
rendering the nights cool both in win
ter and summer. The range in tempera'
ture between sumner and winter rare
" exceeds a mean of IL degrees.
The island has two towns and one
port. Nueva Corona. the capital, is IN
the north, population 1000. Santa Fe,
with a population of 1850, is in the cen.
ter of the island. Jucaro the port OF
Santa Fe, is seven miles away. 1t add
ton to these three centers are twenty
six villages and haciendas scattered
throughout the island.

And II it went on the shore, did it roll
over and over sidewise upon the bank
and then start to turning down again?
Or was it possessor of a gymnast art
lost to modern birds and could turn
successive somersauts to the warm
sands at the edge of the water? Anoth-
er scientist asks. "Did he let the tides
wash him up there and then lie there
until the tide came again" Not only
that, but birds with such light feathers
must occasionally hang themselves out
to dry, and Professor Marsh asked.
How in the world could this bird get
up to dry if it's legs could not be used
for walking"
At all events in the course of a few
weeks the question of whether it rolled
or whether it walked will be settled. So
soon as the University of Kansas pa
leontologists can get their bird together
the bones are in so perfect a state of
preservation that the only possible po-
sition Of the legs must become known.
