Rot PerSOnifed,

From The Jasper News.
The last issue of the Madison Re-
.order contains an editorial fusilade
of the most arrant political rot and
nonsense that was ever promul-
gated by a paper claiming allegiance
to the principles of the Democratic
party. We refer to it's unwarranted
attack on the candidacy of Hon
Robert w. Davis for Governor.
The "babbler" who wields the
Faber on the Recorder would have
the people of Florida believe that
Mr.. Davis is in cOllusion with the
Republicans-w d republicanize
he State and turn its government
Jver to corporate greed and control
his honesty, uprightness and fierce
ly-fought battles in the halls of Con-
gress and on the hustings in the
cause of Democracy to the contrary
Notwithstanding.
The vile innuendoes of the Recor-
der against this worthy and noble
scion of the people of the State of
Florida should, receive the strongest
condemnation from every true Demo-
cratic journal and voter in the State.
Congressman Davis, as the repre-
sentative of the people of the Second
Florida District has so conducted
himself that he stands today, like
Cesar's wife, above suspicion or re-
proach, and the Recorder, in chant
ing the corporation refrain of the
Barrs-Stockton faction, shows that
it is not in harmony with the honest
Democratic principles of the honora-
BILE gentleman whom the people of
Florida have learned to love and
honor, and who 1t is virtually re-
corded win be the next Governor of
this proud and glorious common
wealth,

silk Culture In Italy.

About 800 A. d. Persian monks first
brought silkworm eggs concealed In
the head of hollow staff to Constan-
tinople. Thence silk culture spread in
to Greece. A little later conquest car
ried it to Sicily. From there to Italy
it was but a step. Soil, climate, peo-
pIe suited it. The industry took root,
grew, throve and continues to this day.
The thrifty peasant manages to get
silk and oil and wine from the same
small holding. First he plants his null
berry trees, sixteen feet each way;
next he prunes the heads into hollow
cup and trains mis- vines all over then'
and finally around the edge he sets a
shelter of olive trees. So all seasons
bring him labor and the reward of 1t.
