DeLand, Feb. 20, 1904.
Ny Dear Sir and Friend:
AS you are aware, am a candi-

al Capitol. and my familiarity with
the duties and proceedings of Con-
gress. shall seek a seat in Con-
gress on the platform and principles

The latest campaign effort of Gov
ernor Jennings is not going to popu-
larize his candidacy among old Con-
federate Veterans, although 1t was
designed for that purpose. The gov
ernor has sent to old veterans in the
state a picture of the late General
John b. Gordon, on which is stamped
in red ink the words compliments
of William S. Jennings" Accompa-
nying the picture is copy of Jen-
nings' speech on the death of the
dead warrior, together with PAM
phlet giving himself credit for what
the state is doing by way of pensions
for the old Confederates. The News
witnessed an old Confederate open
his package: He smiled as he looked
upon the features of the popular hero
the smile faded as he noted the sig
nature of the governor; he began to
smell the rat Then he looked al
the next paper, 1t was the COVER
nor's speech. Then he began tc
frown. Next he opened the leafie
showing what the governor claimed
he had done in the way of pensions
for Confederate veterans; the frowr
grew thicker. There was silence fol
moment and the lips of the veteran
trembled as with rage Then th'
storm broke: "Once fakir, alwayi
a fakir," stormed the old soldier
Here is this man, who, in the inter
ests of his candidacy for the limited
States Senate, thinks he can trad
on the sacred sentiment of love will

The japanese legation at Rome
says that up to Wednesday, Febru-
ary 10th, the japanese had lost
warships and merchantmen. The
legation also declares that the Rus
slams have lost Is .warships and 70
merchantmen.
From St. Petersburg comes the in
formation that the Russian second
class cruiser Boyarin was blown up
bv n mine at Port Arthur on Febru-
ary 18th, and that all her officers and
crew, consisting of 1877 officers and
men, were lost.
The two cruisers purchased by
Japan of the Argentine republic have
arrived at Yokohama. They will add
material strength to the japanese
squadron.
Advices from st. Petersburg say it
is admitted in official dispatches
from Russian commanders that the
Japanese have invaded Manchuria.
Several preliminary 'skirmishes are
reported along Yalu river. Japanese
forces have been seen near Mukden'
1t is freely admitted in Russian dis
patches that the mikado's men are
already close to other points held by
Russia. Admiral AleXietf himself
has taken charge of Russian land op,
erations and has removed to Mukden
All these facts cause belief in Lon
don that an encounter has already
begun between the main bodies q

Not blessed thing except that he
hopes to play upon the sentiments
that bind them to the memory of
their dead chieftain and secure their
votes. He is a charlatan, a fakir, q
demagogue, and I hope the old Con-
federate soldiers of Florida will get
onto his curves and leave him out of
all their future calculations for the

There is no doubt or question but
that clover hay is one Of the best of

IL pounds Of line, and Shis shows in

bearing crop, when well cured, is the
one to put by for the use Of the poul-
try. It can be thrown to them as you
throw it to other stock, but for poul-
try. this is q waste. A cutting box
that will cut it into half inch bits
should be provided. These bits should
be scalded and slightly sailed before
being fed; or better, yet, should be
mixed in with mash Of some kind.

quarts Of clover; two quarts of bran;
two Of corn meal. Pour scalding
water over, and let stand few hours
before feeding Farmers Voice.
