RIVES.

Jim Wilson was very sick last week
at the residence of J. B. Caudle, Esq,
from pneumonia.
There seems to be a small-sized cpl
demic of granulated sore eyes among
the young people of Rives. Those Ell
1ected with it at the present are Misses
Bette Alexander and Eva Pyles and
Master Walter B. Caldwell
G.. j. Gardner, of the firm of Glenn
mons & Gardner; r. l.. Harper, or the
firm of Cummings & Harper, Mrs. Net
tie Callicott, and perhaps others leave
this week for st. Louis to purchase
spring and summer goods.
Mrs. Nettie CalicOtt will have the
management of the millinery depart
ment of the Clemmons q Gardner hrm
this year.
Knox Harper and Miss Fannie Rey-
nolds narrowly escaped serious acct
dent, while crossing the Illinois Cen
trail railroad near the depot few
DAYS ago enroute home from the
Christian Church. The horse that
they were driving stopped on the track
and refused to go just as the Fulton
accommodation train came in from
Memphis. Had it not been for the
timely aid of Ernest Bird and Samuel
Dickey who happened to be near, both
would have been Instantly killed.
Miss Jessie Gardner was the happy
recipient last week of a complete set
of Marie Lousie Alcott's works. We
envy Miss Jessie's excellent collection
and know that she will spend many
happy and useful hours reading them.
Will Moffat, of the Illinois Central
civil engineer corps, was at his mo-
theirs last week recuperating from a
severe attack of la grippe.

Letter From Florida.

In the receipt of this letter you
will readily perceive that it was not
written by one Mr.. Bill NYe, but
by one Bill Askins, and recognizing
the danger of the waste basket l
undertake to lot down a few items
for the benefit of my many friends
left behind in old Obion County.
And by the way let me say right
here: When a man starts out TO
find a better section of country than
we can boast of, he will sure get
left. But now to my journey l
left home on the 10th of February
on the old reliable M. & o. railroad.
It does not make as fast time as
some of its neighbors, but 1T has
much smaller graveyard. In due
time it landed me safe and sound
at the city of Montgomery, Ala.
Our car was taken in tow by the
Plant System, which dropped me
down at Jacksonville, Fla. | spent
halt day in this city, visiting the
burnt part of the place, and was
surprised to see it being rebuilt SO
fast. 1t was fearful fire. Here
changed cars, getting aboard the
Florida East Shore railroad. And
by the way, I can say that 1T is do.
ing a heavy business in the way OF
travel-two and three trains daily
going south, with six to eight
coaches full. This travel is from
the frozen North.
A great many of the people were
so delighted with the Sunny South
that they continued their journey
to Nassau and Cuba. l stopped OFT
IN Central Florida at a nice little
campground. Now, don't get ex-
cited when I tell you it was a splr-
itualistic camp. 1t is located one
mile from the station called Lake
HELEN, on a high, dry ridge, sur
rounded by beautiful pine forest
and any number of fine lakes all
around the grounds. These lakes
abound with fish and alligators. l
spent two weeks there very pleas
antly. The campers are people
from all.parts of the country, but
the greater portion are from the
North. Now, l know old Mother
Eve will want to know what is done
at our camps. Well, here goes:
We meet twice day-at 10 a. m.
and 2 p. m. Our lecturers or
speakers generally take a subject
that is selected by the audience.
ANY and all things good for human
lty are taught at the camp. Here
we have our mediums through
which we get communications from
our dear ones who have passed
over to the other shore. The camp
accommodations are good, with
two hotels and plenty OF private
boarding houses.
The weather has been cold in this
State during the months of Janu-
ary, February and up to the 4th OF
this month. But this, the 9th, is
as pleasant as could be desired.
The orange trees show signs OF
frost, but not enough to damage
the crop. The pineapple crop looks
we'll, and the people are giving fully
as much or more attention to the
production of the pineapple as any
other crop. There is another en-
terprise IN Florida that is rsew te
me-the making of starch from q
plant which grows wild in the
State. tits called the coonta plan
and is dubious on the order OF the
sweet potato. There are large fac
tories all over the central part o
the State engaged in manufacture
ing starch from it. =.
Hoping to he at home as soon a
you get clear of cold weather. am
Yours truly,

WASHINGTON LETTER.

eff we don't revise the tariff the
Democrats will; and | am afraid
that good many of the members
now in Congress will not be here to
supervise the job" remarked a Ike
publican member of the House one
day recently in my hearing, and to
the CONSERVATION of the Republican
leaders that sentiment is growing
daily. tits a well-known fact that
Representative Babcock, of Wis
consin, made a vigorous effort TO
organize an effective opposition to
the rule which prevented any
amendment of the bill abollshing
the war revenue taxes. At the last
moment the Michigan delegation,
on which Mr.. Babcock had counted
as an ally, declined to vote with
him and consequently he deter
mined to abandon his project for
the time and has since devoted HIM
self to the organization OF those he.
publicans who desire a revision OF
the tariff at this session. Whether
the autocracy of the Reed rules and
the vigor of the party whip will be
sufficient to suppress the ''schlsm,
as it is called by gentlemen OF the
Understandable School, remains
to be seen, but unless the subject
of reciprocity with Cuba is soon
sposed of it is safe to say that
\ will not.

Representative William Sulzer,
of New York, told me yesterday
that he had not given up hope OF
securing the enactment of the bill
he has so faithfully championed IN
several Congresses and which EN-
bodies a material increase in the
salaries of letter-carriers through
out the country. II appreciate,
said Mr.. Sulzer, 'the many obsta-
cles in the way of this legislation.
The present majority owes its sue
cess, not to its adherence to the
principles of right and justice, not
to it's advancement of the cause OF
the people, but to its subservlency
to the wishes of the capitalists and
the great vested interests whose
money flows like water into the
treasures of the Republican cam
paign committees. Nevertheless,
there is so much merit in my bill,
so much that appeals to the inner
ent sense of Justice of the American
people, that l feel sure, when they
realize the facts, they will demand
it's passage. AS matter of fact,
our 1etter-carriers, who are the
hardest worked employees of the
government, do not receive a re-
Enumeration sufficient to enable them
to live comfortably and properly
educate their children. 1t is cry
ing shame, but l believe that the
people will awaken to the injustice
and bring sufficient pressure to beal
on the majority to make even the
Republicans pass a measure which
can claim for its champion no prince
| of industry.

The House Committee on Post
offices and Post-roads has reported
a bill providing that hereafter the
routes of the free delivery service
shall be let by contract Instead OF
being covered by salaried carriers
and although this was voted for by
a large majority of the committee,
the minority report, prepared by
MIR. Swanson, OF Virginia, has re-
ceived considerable support in the
House. Mr.. Swanson told me yes
terday that he considered the pas
sage of the bill would be a grave
mistake. "Great responsibility, "
said Mr.. Swanson, "rests upon the
carriers of rural routes and their
personality is matter OF great I'M
portance to the residents OF the dis
tricts. In the first place, the con-
tract system would result in secur-
ing the cheapest class OF men ana
equipment. The prices bid would
be too low to secure men OF hlgh
grade. BY the provisions OF the bill
there would be no permanent ten
ure, as either the government or the
carrier would cancel the contract
on thirty days notice. This would,
of itself, initiate against the ETH
cheney of the service. Again, 1t is
unreasonable to expect that the
men who have contracted to do GER
tain work for the least possible
money will be as accommodating
and as ready to issue money ORDERS
register mail and in other ways IN
crease their work as men who are
paid a salary and who appreciate
that their positions are permanent
so long as they perform their du-
ties to the satisfaction of their pa
irons and of the Department. These
are, but a few OF the many obJec-
tious to the measure, but l feel con-
fdent that, could the residents
along the free delivery routes have
an opportunity of expressing them
selves, they would be unanimous IN
their opposition to the change
From what have been able to learn
from the Senate end of the Capitol
it seems hardly likely that the bill
will receive favorable vote in that
body, particularly as its opponents
predict that before the Senate takes
it up for consideration the Senators
will be overwhelmed with protests
from the residents of their several
States.

aba and General Grosvenor, OF
Ohio, has become a warm advocate
of the Ways and Means committee
bill granting 20 per cent reciprocal
reduction on Cuban imports. Mr..
Roosevelt is threatening to send a
special message to Congress on the
SUBJECT although if he does it will
be against the advice of his friends
who tear that it would have a tend
ency to make the opposition even
more obstinate and might even in
lure his chances for denomination.
Senator Rawlins, of Utah, told me
the other day that while he had not
investigated the subject as he in
tended to before the matter came
up in the Senate, he was certainly
suspicious of the vigorous advocacy
of Cuban reciprocity which is being
displayed bynewspapers which have
always heretofore been the friends
of the trusts and he was at loss
to understand how the Cubans
themselves could have produced the
widespread sentiment which there
seems to be in favor of concessions
to the island.
