Second Primary Election.

The second primary election will
be held next Tuesday, September 13.
The same managers will be retained
to manage the second primary. We
hope the people will 60 to the polls
and vote, and not lose interest be-
cause some of their choice were NOM
mated in the first primary. There
are to be elected men to fill just as
important offices as at the first pri-
mary. Read the article in this issue

can Citizen" and thereby learn the
real duties Of an American citizen.

Horn Blowing.

The blowing of forns to assemble
members of the different secret orders of
this city is out of date. This practice
has been characterized by some as a relic
of barbaric nations, practice of long
ago when people had no other means of
notifying those they wanted to come,
when the hours of the day we're told by
the sun, and of the night by the stars,
the day of the week and month by char
coal marks and notchcs on a stick. At
this day and time all members of the
several societies are presumed to know
the day and hour of meeting and need
not have the city alarmed 10y such harsh
footing of horns.

BEFoRE-DAY CLUBS IN FLORIDA.
Five Of These Negro Insurreetion-
ary Associations in Leon County.
The Organization Said to be Ma
tional and Of Northern Origin.

Tallahassee, Fla, September 6-Since
Saturday nights trouble it has been
learned that there are five "Before Day
Clubs" in Leon County. While it is
said these clubs were organized last
Christmas, there are number of persons
l,who will pake affidavit to the effect
that they have been known in Leon
County for the past three years.
1t is asserted here that about three
years ago negro appeared in Richmond, i,
Va, (many averring that he came di-
rectly from Washington CITY,, who made
an incendiary speech, advising members
of his race to all manner of mean
things.
He advised the organization of the "Be-
fore Day Club This organization has
become national in its character. The
clubs in this county are located at Talla.
hassee, Lake Hall, Lake Jackson, Daw-
kins Pond and the Meridian neighbor-
hood. Many of the best negroes of the
county have refused to become members
and are not in sympathy with such ar
organization.
1t is firmly believed here that Mr..
Epps was victim of this organization,
and many of the people in this section
are nervous and excited, but there are a
number of men in Leon County, who
are brave and determined and who are
prepared to meet and settle this issue
squarely.

A Narrow Escape.

Mr.. George Wood was sitting on
the end Of cross tie near the spot
where his son was killed, and the en-
gineer happened to see him in time
to slow down his engine to a speed
which was just enough to knock
Wood of the track without injuring
him. He certainly had a close call.
Had it been a regular train running
on schedule time instead Of the Shift
ing engine which runs between Mon
arch Mills and the city, Wood would
now be a corpse.

rule it was the policy to repress colo
mai manufactures. The few that grew
up were forced to their full capacity
during the Revolutionary war, and
threatened with extinction when the
peace of 1888 permitted the importa-
ton of foreign goods, thus limiting By
competition the sale Of domestic manu-
features.
At the close of the revolution, the
Crane family, whose ancestors had
come over from England in 1913, were
living in Milton, Mass, on the banks OF
the Pumkapoag brook, just above It's
union with the Neponset river, where
stood the first paper mill that was built
in New England. Milton numbered
among its inhabitants many OF the
wealthiest families in the common
wealth, but the Cranes were in humble
circumstances, and 1t was only natural
that at least two of Stephen Cranes
five sons who grew up in the shadow
of an interesting manufacture should
be influenced by it in the selection OF
their trade. The pay for lay boy in
those days was go cents week with
board Thankful for even so small An
addition to the family income, the
Cranes sent their oldest son Stephen
to the mill at Milton at an early age.
A few years later, the young man, hav-
ing served his apprenticeship, started
himself in business at Newton Lower
Falls, and sent for his brother Zenas,
who was II years his Junior, to learn
from him the rudiments Of the bust
ness. Desiring to gain more thorough
knowledge of the art, Zenas afterwards
worked in the mill Of Gen. Burbank in
Worcester, then the largest mill in the
country. It contained two watts, and the
rags were cut by hand on a scythe,
three months time being required from
their reception to the placing Of paper
on the market. The mill had been
originally built to supply paper for the
Spy, a Journal edited by the patriot
Isaiah Thomas, whose editorial elo-
uuence was frequently curtailed by the
reduced size of the sheet when the
manufacturer was unable to secure suf-
fioient rags.
