STATE EXECUTIVE CHUMPS
Call Holloway Down, and when
He said "NiXy," Placed
Jemmit Wolfe in NOmi-
nation for State Sup
apintnnIant

At the meeting of the state demo-
cratic executive committee in Jack
sOnville ON Saturday last the resig-
nation of Hon. J. G. b. KOonce as
presidential elector was accepted
nation to Hon. J f. Grady of Apa-
lachicola. That-was proper.
Then the committee voted to ask
Mr.. Holloway to Withdraw from the
ticket in the following resolution in
troduced by j. NJ. Bars:
BE it resolved by the democratic
state committee of the state of
Florida that the best interest of the
democratic party requires the with
drawal OF William NJ. Holloway
from the candidacy for the office of
State Superintendent of Public ln-
structiOn, and that he is hereby re-
quested to withdraw and decline 70
run for said Office
This resolution was telegrarhed to
MIR. Holloway at Gainesville, and he
replied AS follows:
I'D. L. Flether, Jacksonville, Fla:
The democratic voters OF Florida, in
primary election, nominated me for
the office of State Superintendent OF
Public Instruction, and the demo-
cratic executive committee, whom
the party had invested with this
power, canvassed the returns and
! declared me the nominee: cannot,
therefore, withdraw.
W. NJ. HOLLOWAY
One might think that Mr.. Hollo-
ways reply would have puzzled the
committee. Not so. 1t simply de-
cided that while it had no power to
compel Holloway to come off the
ticket, it could put up another man
and advise democrats to vote for
him.
The committee had caucussed be-
fore the meeting and had decided on
piyiug the nomination to j. Emmit
| Wolfe of Pensacola Mr.. Sheats was
there looking for endorsement and
when he didn't get it he rose up i'll
his wrath and vowed he would run
independent. Later he came back
to the meeting, and with tears
streaming down his cheeks, told the
committee he had always been Il
good democrat in the days OF ms
prosperity ana lie SutSStd lit
couldn't afford to 60 back OIL his
training at the first. touch of ad'
vprsity. He was willing to let Jem'
NIT Wolfe be the independent candi'
date.
The committe then voted to re
turn to Mr. Holloway the money ht
had paid in as campaign assess
ments. The money has since beer
rendered, and refused by Mr.. Hollo
way.
The members of the committe wht
voted against placing Mr.. Woife'
name on the ticket were j. Muldon
by George l.. BAIL, proxy; pr. Nc
Kinstry, L. +. Dozier, Max Rell, a
c. Blount, Jr., by George BAIL
proxy; J. w. Perkins and Georg'
BAIL, who voted blank. In castlnS
his vote Mr.. Perkins stated that ht
voted blank because there was h'
vacancy on the ticket.

BURGLARS AND FIRES.
How They Are Guarded Against in
Strassburg

A society has been organized In Strass-
burg the object of which is to mutually
protect the members from burglars or visits
from suspicious characters during the night
and to give the alarm in case of fire.
United States Consul Britain at Kiel has
made a report on the subject to the State
Department. 1t appears that the society
employs number of trustworthy guards,
who are furnished with uniforms and are
required to give bond for the honest and
faithful performance of their duties. These
watchmen, or guards go on duty at 10 p.
m. and remain on duty until m during
+ the winter months and until am during
the summer months.
During the night a guard makes several
visits to the home of each subscriber and
if an outside door is found open during
one of these visits 1t is the duty of the
guard to see whether any suspicious per-
son has entered the house and. before he
leaves to lock the door or, If necessary,
to arouse the inmates
In case the guard discovers fire 1t is his
duty to arouse the inmates and to send in
a fire alarm.
Should member of the family in any
of the guarded houses return home during
the night without a key 1t is the guard s
duty to admit the person into his home,
as the guards carry duplicate key for
each subscribers house.
The society also furnishes guards for
stock yards, warehouses, new buildings and
business blocks. The expenses for the serv-
ice of the guards depend upon the number
of visits made during the night and also
upon the extent of the property guarded
Ordinarily the houses are examined at
least three times during each night and
every hour If required. The schedule of
prices ranges from SO cents a month for a
house with one entrance and SO cents a
month for house with two entrances with
a charge of IL cents month for every ad-
ditional door. to $1.7S per month for a
chateau and grounds and So. ST per month
for large warehouse.

MoUNTAINEER FIDDLERs.
Sets Instrument Against Chest and
Yields Bow With Juggling Movement.


From Harpers Magazine.
There Is hidden among the mountains of
Kentucky, Tennessee and the Carolinas a
people CO whose inner nature and its mu-
steal expression almost nothing has been
said The music of the southern noun
taineer is not only peculiar. but. like him
self. peculiarly American.
Nearly all mountaineerS are singers.
Their unframed voices are of good timbre,
the womens being sweet. and high and
tremulous, and their sense of pitch and
tone and harmony remarkably true. The
fiddler or the banjo player is well treated
and beloved among them, like the minstrel
o. feudal days.
The mountain fiddler rarely cuddles his
instrument under lis chin. He sets it
against the middle of MS chest, and, grasp
ing his bow near the middle. wields it with
a Juggling movement quite unlike the long
sweep OF the accomplished violinist's bow
arm. 1t is sometimes complained that their
playing is too tap:d and jerky, but the
tunes arc composed for his tempo, and no
other would be found suitable
Prominent among TIE elements of this
music is that leading American character
istic. hunor; NOT the sparkling wit of the
French, nor the broad, clumsy jollifcation
of the lie uton. nor Sarcasm nor irony. but
the keen, wholesome, frealliSh American
love of laugh, and it pcrvadcs directly or
indirectly almost every line. Tho music
too. while usually minor, is not of a plain
tive tendency; there are few laments, no
sobbiny and wailng. In this it differs radi-
cally from that of savage peoples. Neither
has it any martial throb or clapg. 1t is re-
Elective. meditativc, with e vein of genial
and sunny philosophy; the tunes chuckle

introduced him as his brother. and for two
or three years the miners kept on calling

along the vein, q crew follows and nils up
the space with timbers where the ore was
taken out. We are now about half way

stories of timbers beneath us. one Of them

at work on several levels now. mine Is

The Silver King Mill.
When we had come up from our trip
through the mine we went few hundred
yards to the mill Of the Silver King. The
ore from this mill Is mostly free-milling
ore. In order to get the valuable minerals
out 1t is run into crushers. Stamps go rap
idly up and down, pounding the ore so. that
1t becomes fine powder. The whole build
ing shook, and the noise from the stamping
was so loud that we could scarcely hear.
After the crushing the ore Is placed upon
5igs; these are merely shaking tables.
Water runs over them and washes away
the lighter powder, leaving the reduced
ore. After this concentrating process the
ores are melted, the metals going to the
bottom and the Stag floating on top. Then
comes the cooling room, where the min
erals are separated and run into molds.
When the metals come out OF here they
look like loaves of bread. Last December,
when the superintendent was told to see
that the stockholders got enough to buy
Christmas presents. out of the room each
day there came fifty rich hunks to pay
dividends to those who were lucky enough
to hold shares in the Silver King.

The "Bull's Eye. -

From London Answers.
Why is the targets bulls eye so called |?
This is one Of many instances In our Ian
guage where words have gained a higher
status than that with which they started
and have been promoted from the slang die
tionary to the dictionary of words of re-
spectacle and current use.
Bulls eye Is found in the dictionary of
tine Canting Crew" so far back as 1885,
and was the vulgar word for the central
ring of the target used as q mark for
archers, which was colored differently from
the other rings. This may have arisen
from the ancient rounded shields, cut out
OF OK hide and strengthened with a spike
or central boss for this shield or target:
hence target was often used as mark
itself.
When sheet glass began to be manufac-
tured the thickened part where the tube
had been attached, was called the bulls eye
Then this term was successfully applied to
a lens of glass, especially In ships side

The Foul Blow in Japan.
rom the Boston Christian Register.

FROM the Boston CHRISTIAN REGISTER.
The newly introduced knowledge of the
jiujitsu exercises of the Japanese brings to
mind curious distinction between the Ger
manic races and those that have accepted
their standards and Asiatic races and some
European nations, These Japanese exer-
cises. used to develop the ability to defend
ones self. are based on practices which
throughout the north of Europe are regard
ed as foul play" and are. therefore. ruled
odt of sports and the manly art of self
defense. He is a low-down fighter who in
England strikes a foul blow or takes an I'M
fair advantage of an opponent But the
japanese have elevated the foul blow and
the unfair advantage to a science. The art
OF offense and defense is to take ones OPP
ponent unexpectedly at a disadvantage, to
fracture his leg, to dislocate his arm, or
break his neck. Frenchmen have made
science of the art of kicking, and can
practice it with an agility and skill which
would knock out the champion boxer of
the world before he had adjusted himself
to the situation. The boxers chin would
be broken and his nose battered in before
he knew what had happened Just what
these national practices indicate In the ma
tional character we are not wise enough to

From head to foot their garments were

Down the Shaft.
In the engine room we all stopped a few
minutes to look at the splendid machinery
which lifts many times each day and night
from the dark and dangerous hooks of the
mine the heavy ore carts and $50 human
beings. AS the big windlasses coiled around
them, the broad thick wire cables, hitched
on to the elevators or cages" hands NOV
ed slowly on round, cleck-lke dials and
pointed to numbers showing where the
cages were-whether at the three hundred
the thousand or the thirteen hundred foot
level.
You see,' said Mr.. Daily, 1--WE dig mine
so that it can be worked the easiest way.
We first sink shaft straight down, its
depth depending on that of the ore bodies.
This shaft here is already down 1900 feet.
Each hundred feet down We make what we
call level That is, we run off tunnels at
right angles from the shaft. The tunnels
lead to the ore veins, which most always
dip away from the shaft. Then we work
up; we get out the ore overhead; let 1t
drop down through chutes into cars on the
tracks of the level tunnel. The tunnels are
graded so that the cars run down-hill to
the shaft; we use gravity as much as we
cam For example you'll see directly that
all the ore between the thirteen and the
twelve hundred levels we let drop down
to the thirteen. Come. let's go down; I'll
show you"
