Another strong man in the Baptist
church of Florida died Saturday ia
Ocala. Rev. J. c. Porter, formerly
editor and proprietor of the Baptist
Witness newspaper. Mr.. Porter had
been hard worker for the church
aud never seemed to tire until the
hand Of disease laid hold Of him
about year ago and compelled him
to surrender active duty. He leaves
q wife aud several children. He was
preceded about a month ago to the
tomb by Rev. w. y. Chaudoin, an
other hero in the Baptist church OF
Florida. The world is much better
by the life of these Christians, and
the church and state have sustained
, parable loss.-MeiropOlis.

They are advocating Senator Taliate-ro. be-

EXPERIENCE
In the Treatment of HumOuTs
with More Than Magical

CUTICURA REMEDIES.
A Remarkable Testimonial from
a Most Intelligent and
Trustworthy Lady.

"a tumor came on my neck and In .
day or two it was as large as half an
orange. l was very much alarmed for
fear it was malignant. Ny friends
tried TO persuade me to consult my
physician; but dreading that he would
insist on using the knife, 1 would not
consent to go. Instead, got Cuticurs
Resolvent and Cuticurs Ointment. l
took the former according TO direc-
tons, and spread q thick layer Of the
Ointment on the swelling. On renew
ing it l would battle my neck in very
warm water and Cuticura Soap. In .
few days the Cuticura Ointment had
drawn the swelling to head, when II
broke. Every morning it was opened
with a large sterilized needle, squeezed
and bathed, and fresh Ointment put
on. Pus and blood, and q yellow,
cheasy, humorous matter came out. In
about three or four weeks time this
treatment completely eliminated the
tumOr. The soreness that had eX-
tended down into my chest was al
gone, and my neck now seems 70 DC
perfectly well.
About FIVE or six years ago my sis

The UHWRITTER Law

England has no written constitu-
ton but her unwritten code il the
strongest b1lwark of her institutions.
Everywhere it is the same. In al
nations ard in all institutions the un-
written supercedes the written laws.
See how openly the rules of the
church are set aside.
The amusement paragraphs" of
the Methodist discipline have grown
so antiquated that some Of the fore
most ministers in that body boldly
advocate discsrding them, as they
have become in these latter days as
sounding brass and Thinking Gym.
bal"
But take a survey OF the field where
the unwritteu law prevails.
Take for instance the unwritten law
of the south which calls for lyuching.
A man would ride twenty miles on
horseback in the rain aud cold 70
avenge the violation ofthis unwritten
law if to do so he had to violate a
statute law every mile of the way.
There is absolutely no escape from
the consequences of this uDwritten
law and in its execution the written
law looks on with open eyes and help.
less and powerless hands.
The unwritten law of society; the
unwritten law of the church; the un-
written law of the state; are all a.
fixed and binding a. the movement Of
the planets in their orOit>.
What woman would dare violate
the capricious but despotic unwrilten
code of fashions?
What gentleman would participate
at a funeral dressed in a seresucker
suit:
What bride would appear at the
altar unveiled?
The unSritten law in politics is a.
binding as the unwritten law in civil
and religious life.
We are recently informed tnat
ColOnels J. H. EstIll, the pOpularledi-
tor Of the Savannah News, and John
Temple Graves, the brilliant editor
af the Atlanta News, both in turn
refused the gubernatorial crown of
the Empire state of the South be.
cause the unwritten law of Georgia
says that a governor who has made q
fairly good official is entitled to
second term.
Estill and Graves, or no good dem
ocrst in Georgia, would for moment
consider proposition to violate the
party custom.
The same party tradition prevails
in Florida.
Our representative in congress,
making fairly good records, have
without an exception or variation,
been given two or more terms.
Examine the record and it will be |
seen that Call, Jones, Pasco, Mallory, |
Finley, Dougherty, Bull
lock, Cooper and Davis were all in
turn given two or more terms.
Why break the custom and apply a
different rule for TaliaferrO?
His conduct in Office, his excep- /
tionslly fine record, and the unwrit- /
ten law of the party, all cry aloud /
against it.

Dear Sir: You buy your horseshoes and
nails your grandfather, If he was a black
smith, made EN-. You can't afford to
hammer them out by hand, when you can
bay as good, or better perhaps, readymade
to your hand, for little more than the
cost OF the iron.
What do you think Of painter who
goes on buying his linseed oil and white
lead and mixing, and tinting by hand, and
charging bis time for work that is far bet
ter done than be can do it, by machinery,
done as your horseshoes and nails are
made.
Mistake isn't itg
He Is wasting his chance In the world.
There Is no better stuff to do business with
than good horseshoes and paint; and no
better work than putting them on. Good
horsesh0es well pnt on It's the putting em
on that makes you a blacksmith mo matter
who makes 'em.
Who wants to so back TO old times, and
make bis own horseshoes2

how to make good paint-he used to; but
paint has run away from him.
