Ground Sunk at Paisley.

4 phenomenon that is rather unusual
in this part of Florida, though compara-
lively common in some parts OF the west
coast, occurred at Paisley few days ago.
The ground over an area of perhaps thirty
feet in diameter suddenly sank leaving a
hole twenty to twenty-five feet in depth,
with almost perpendicular sides. A large
pine tree, which grew near the middle of
this area, probably had something TO do
with loOsening the upper soil, causing it
to drop into a subterranean hollow that
had possibly been there for centuries.
The tree fell when the ground sunk, and
the bare roots now protrude over the
hOle-EustiS Lake Region.

Mr.. Day Will Run Again.

We call the readers attention
this week to the platform of Mr.
Fl. f. Day on another page, which
announces that he will be a candi-
date before the second primary
next Tuesday, the 18th instant, to
decide between him and Mr.. J. B
Browne the vacant seat on the rail
road commission.
These two men practically ran
an even race in the July primary,
there being a difference of less than
a hundred votes between their total
vote throughout the state. The
objection has been urged against
Mr.. Day that he is a railroad man.
This cannot be construed that he
has favored the railroads, for read
ing of his platform shows different
ly, and it ought to be in his favor that
he has had a thorough training in
the business that the commission
is called to act upon. Then again
his retirement would throw the
duties of the commission upon
three new and inexperienced men.
Mr.. Days special knowledge of the
admitted intricate problems COM
ing before this body would be the
strongest argument that could be
advanced in favor of retaining him.
Then again his position as chair
man of the convention of railroad
commissions in the southern states
and chairman of the permanent
joint committee appointed by that
convention shows the high esti-
mate of his ability by other COM
missions in the south.
When the legislature created the
present commission law il saw fit
to provide that one of the commits
siOnerS to he appointed should be II
railroad man. The prudence of this
provision has not since been ques-
toned, and there is nothing in Mr.
DAYS record "a chairman of the
commission To- warrant such uhiec-
tion be put forth now.
While MIR. Days services to the
commission are not indispensable,
it is evident that his experience IN
this state during the life of the
present commission law, and ming
ling with members of similar bodies
i'll other states, specially fits him to
be of service to Florida. and We frc1
sure that the people Will vote his
retention at the primary next Tues
daV.

OI u ne lGE1Qa SLar.
We regret to see so little interest shown
in the special primary set for next Tues
day, the 18th inst. The selection of the
right man for railroad commissioner is of
the greatest possible importance. We
are pleased to know that Mr.. III. +. Day
is candidate for re-election-a man of
large experience I'm commission work, and
one who has filled the Office most accept
ably for several years. We are surprised
TO learn that there is some opposition to
his candidacy, because he has been a
railroad man. This, in our opinion,
should be his greatest element of strength.
A practical railroad man is necessity on
a state railroad commission. Those who
have studied this question for the last
twenty years, will bear me out in saying
that had not a practical railroad man
been placed at the head of the Georgia
commission when first organized, it would
no doubt have proven a most lamentable
failure. A thorough knowledge of the
intricate workings of the railroad system
made the commission a grand success i'll
our sister state, and our own state is no
exception to the rule.
We trust our people will fully realize
the Importance of this question, and give
Hon. Henry +. Day practically unani-
nous vote as his own successor.-

The State Should Paw.

Senator Mallory approves of the pr
mary SYSTEM of nominating officers. but
he contends that the campaign as-.-s~-
ments are So high in some instances a. tn
virtually prohibit poor men, however we'll
qualified, from entering the contest: and
suggests that the neXt legislature enact a
law that will throw the expense of hold
ing the primary elections on the state
This Is not a bad idea, and it would be
well for legislators to give the matter due
consideration from now until the legisla
ture meets next April. Since the primary
business has been placed under a rigid
state law 1t would be perfectly legitimate
for the state to bear the election ex
penses; therefore We will raise no obiec-
ton to Senator MalIory's suggestion being
carried out. This applies only to the ex.
pense OF holding the primary elections
and as these expenses are held for the
benefit of the people they will not object
TO paying the bill.-Polk County Nh.

Negro DisfranChiSement.

The attempt tn induce the federal
courts to declare invalid the sec
tiOnS of several new state con>titu-
tiOns in the south which diStran-
chise a large majority of the negro
vote in those states has not sue
ceeded yet in a single instap"1i
\ test case brought il, ,sit Mr. ~
pi was thrown out &,
months ago, i. "e ll't[ar tI
The constitutionafr eysnin% " a
trage clause of the new ldered Nrw
of Louisiana was atlirHas good. aw
days ago for the second tt 4hteJy a
United States judge. The Louisi-
ana case was one of Keynes vs..
Registrar of Voters Gleason, and
on its first hearing Judge st. Paul
refused the writ asked for. The
case was argued before him in an
amended form very recently, and
he decided against the plaintiff
again.
In its comment upon this last
decision, The New Orleans Times
Democrat says:
The case was a test one brought
by the negroes in the hope that
the suffrage laws of Louisiana un-
der which most of their race are
disfranchised would be declared
unconstitutional. The funds for
the suit were raised by popular
subscription, and it was announced
that it would be carried up to the
court of the United States
if necessary.
The Florida star., 1902-08-08

Like most similar litigation,
however, the suit failed from the
very start. Keynes, over whom the
test is being made, is a negro who
can neither read nor write, and
who does not possess sufficient
property to make a voter He could
no more register in Massachusetts,,
Connecticut or Rhode Island than
he can here; and if the Louisiana
law be attacked and declared un-
constitutional because of Gleason's
refusal to register Keynes, then
these New England States are open
to a similar attack. The Times
Democrat is not an ardent admirer
of 'the grandfather clause and con-
siders it a subterfuge unworthy of
the constitutional convention in
addition to being wholly unneces-
sary. The cause of white suprem-
acy is neither strengthened nor i'm
proved by admitting to the suffrage
those whites who are both illiterate
and without property. But this
has nothing whatever to do with
the Limitation of the suffrage to
those who can read or who own
property. If the grandfather clause
were declared unconstitutional, null
and void, it would not affect the
negroes in the least, it would not
grant the ballot to a single addi
tiOnal negro. The plaintiff in the
suit before Judge St. Paul would
no more be entitled to register in
Louisiana than he is now"
We firmly believe that the
grandfather clause" which makes
a discrimination in favor of a GER
tain class of white voters, whenever
it comes to IA test In the United
States court, will be declared un-
constitutional; but if it should be,
the negroes who cannot fulfill the
vi lllCSC COllSlllul
would continue to be disfrauchised
just the same as they would be if
the courts sustained the provision
that the right of no lineal descend
ant of one who could vote i'm 1859.
or who was in the service of the
Confederacy should, under no con
ditions, be denied.
The main object of the move
ment In the south was to disfran-
chise ignorant negroes, which l.
the same object sought to be ac-
complished in some northern states
against ignorant whites, and the
object has been accomplished, and
there Is no fear of the suffrage pro-
visions in the new constitutions of
the southern states being intcrfcrvd
with 10y the courts, possibly with
the exception Of the ''grandfathcr
