THE PRIMARY PLAN.

The session of the State Exec
utive Committee of the demo-
cratic party was harmonious
throughout and the plans formu'
lated fos the first general prima
nv to be held in Florida were in
strict conformity to the letter OF
the law as laid down by the
Jacksonville convention.
There are many able men in
the State-men who have made
life study of the game OF poll
tics-who are against the pri-
mary system of nominations
But on the other hand there are
Just as many-perhaps more
who favor it. The primary ar
ranged for at the committee
meeting last week will be the
! first ever held in the State, and
therefore the plan is in the ex'
detrimental stage only, The peo'
pie have had no opportunity to
Judge intelligently between the
two methods, primary aud con-
vention.
When the first one has been
held, when a fair trial has been
given, then will be time to CON
denim or uphold. If the work
ings of the primary prove unsat'
isfactory the people may be de
pended upon to speedily abolish
liz and return to the old method
but if it does prove a good thing
and we believe it will--tht
people will insist upon its cor
tinuance.
Give the primary a fair ant
honest trial. That is all thai
the democratic party asks.

BETTER THAN PILLS.

The question has been asked, "In
what way are ChamberlaiR's Stomach

answer is; They are easier and more
pleasant to take, more mild and gentle
in effect and more reliable as they can

cleanse and lnvigorate the stomach and
leave the bowplsin natural condition,

PRIMARY PLANK

For the information and bcne-
fit of our readers we print the
primary plank of the State dem
ocratic platform a. adopted in
the Jacksonville convention of
1900. The plank reads as fol.
lows:
I'VE believe that true demo-
cratic principles require that the
people be consulted in ali mat.
tiers where practicable. and that
they, as directly rs possible, be
permitted to make known their
wishes. We therefore favor the
nomination of all candidates for
Office. beth State and county,
and OF United States Senators.
by Il ma iority vote in white dem.
ocratic primary elections, held
under the provisions of law,
which shall provide all possible
protection against fraud, brib-
cry. intimidation and other vi
cious influences, said primaries
to be uniform and held through
out the State on the same day
and we pledge the democracy to
the passage of all laws to that
end. and instruct the democratic
state committee to provide fol
and superintend the holding OF
and declare and certify the re
suits OF such primary elections
whenever it shall become neces
,sary. by end Of term, death, res

YERKEs GENEROUS TO ART.
American Magnate Pays the FFeAslI
Artist, Constant, $4,000 Above
His Price,

Charles 7. Yerkes, who is promoting
rapid transit in London, recently sent
to Benjamin Constant, the artist, a
check for $4,000, probably the highest
price ever paid by anybody for his
own portrait.
An original feature of this payment
is that the price demanded and agreed
to was 100000, but Mrs. Yerkes was so
pleased with her husbands likeness
that the railway magnate added $1O,-
600, accompanying the check with a
note saying:
Which additional sum pray you to
accept as token of our high admira-
ton of your genius and gratitude for
your having consented to bother with
such an uninspiring model"
NJ. Constant proudly answered.:
while approaching your amiable in
tentions / must decline the voluntary
increase. My price cannot vary one
way or the other according to the de-
gree of satisfaction felt by my sisters.
Therefore upon receipt of your per-
mission | will return the $4,000 into q
fund OF public charities"
Among Constants other recent por-
traits of prominent Americans are
those of ]. Pierpont Morgan, which he
shipped to New York few weeks ago;
Mrs. Parrott, Baroness De Sellieres
and Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt, Jr. The
last is not yet finished.

A genuine mountain lion has just

be made in this ease in that the beast
will be kept at the white house instead

bears, lions, tigers. alligators and
other attractive pets have all been con-
signed to the roo, while II ingS like eats

from the express wagon contained

is pretty example of the taxider-
mist's art, new courage was taken, and
the box was carried to the has ement of
the white house. The animal is beau
tifully mounted. and will End place

Yes, August Flower still has the larg-
est sales of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grandmothers
never thought of using anything else for
indigestion or biliousness. Doctors were
scarce, and they seldom heard of appen
dicttis, nervous prostration or heart fall
ure, etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fermenta-
ton of the undigested food, regulate the
action of the liver, stimulate the nervous
and organic action Of the system, and
that l. all they took when feeling duh
and bad with headaches and other aches.
You need only few doses OF Green's

The Record Broken.

Few people in these parts ever saw
the mercury touch the 100 mark on
their thermometers, and yet that is
the point of heat measured last Fri
day afternoon at o'clock, according
to our official report, as will be seen
at the head of these columns. Those
who saw the mark and felt the heat
do not want to repeat the experience.
1t was a hot, breezless day; hotter
than has heretofore been recorded in
this place. People sat about, list
less, and when they had opportunity,
talked about the heat, which had a
tendency to make it appear hotter.
Then they would consult the Their
mometer, and run from it to the
water cooler and the watermelon.
The entire past week has been hot,
and dry, but Friday beat the record.
