TO the Citizens Of Leon County:

To the Citizens Of Leon County:
Important events will face US at the
next session Of the Legislature. Many
friends have been kind enough TO think
that my services would be needed and
that with my past experience with leg
islative bodies in this State and in my
large acquaintanceship with its people,
could be Of material help. / therefore
announce that am a candidate for the
position Of State Senator from this dis
trict, and if honored by your votes /
shall in the future, as in the past, de-
vote my best energies to all that is for
the best interest Of my people, and re
solicit the support Of every
good citizen Of Leon county.
Very respectfully,
w. A RAWLS.

The Tallahassee True Democrat finds
thatit costs more now by something like
40 per cent. 20 carry OH the affairs OF
the State Internal Improvement Board
than 1t did few years ago In grow
ing State, like Florida, il is natural that
there should be some increase in the adj
ministration of the various branches Of
the State government, and an increafe
in expense commensurate with the ff-1
crease in business should not excite woh7'
der or surprise. The True Democrat
might find, for instance, that the in
crease in the expenses of the Supreme
Court have well nigh doubled in the past
few years, but it would hardly. be fair
to make such a comparison without stat
ing that the number of justices has been
doubled If the True Democrat will
make its figures show that the expenses
of the board are disproportionate with
its present volume Of work as compared
with past work and expense, its utter
ances will receive considerably more at
tention from the thoughtful citizens of
the State. The editor of the Telegraph
confesses to something of a suspicion
that the affairs of this board might be
somewhat more economically admins
tered, but our opinion is purely a super
fetal one, and we should like for the
True Democrat to enlighten us by such
comparisons as we have indicated. To
deal in lump sums in matters of this
kind hardly gives fair idea Of the sub
ject -Starke Telegraph.
In our issue of October 20 we gave an
abstract of the receipts and disburse-
ments of the l. l. Fund for the four
years of the Jennings administration,
together with a brief comparison of the
same with an average for the twelve
years next Immediately preceding that
period. In response to the foregoing
courteous and reasonable suggestion
from our esteemed contemporary, we
take pleasure in presenting below a
more particular and detailed comparison
of disbursements between the two years,
1893 and 1894, and the two years, 1903
and 1904, the ten-year period interview
ing being sufficiently long for intelligent

SluEsish Liver a Foe to Ambition.

You cannot accomplish very much if
your liver is inactive, as you feel dull,
your eyes are heavy, and slight exertion
exhausts you. Orino Laxative Fruit
Syrup stimulates the liver and bowels
and makes you feel bright and active
Orino Laxative Fruit Syrup does not
nauseate or grippe and is mild and very
pleasant to take. Orino is more effect

/ HHeIIb OA the TWO CdHuludJts AOI TIC
| State Senate.
We might well pause here, and let
these two productions speak alone for
the eligibility, the fitness and the dis.
position Of the respective aspirants- the
one saturated, as it was, with domineer-
ing insistance upon the writer's optim-
istic estimate Of his alleged qualifica-
tions for the office and his cOmplacent
self -praise the other breathing the
kindliest spirit Of Difference for the opin-
ions and judgment of his fellow-men,
and modestly submitting to them the
question Of his qualifications.
But we wish to say a word or two
further mot about Mr.. Rawls; he speaks
for himself but concerning Leon's rep
resentative candidate, who, aside from
the actual work of the campaign in the
field, which he will attend TO with his
customary vigor, should, perhaps, be
somewhat more carefully introduced to
few Of the voters of the county who
have not had opportunities to become
intimately acquainted with his merits.
John w. Henderson is a man of ex-
ceptional natural ability. He is 1.-THE
son Of his father" the late Colonel
John A. Henderson--a man of undis-
putcd and extraordinary talents, and
citizen who, perhaps, contributed more
than any one man else, by shrewd judg-
ment and wise counsel, TO the overthrow
Of Republican misrule in Florida. Reared
among US, carefully educated, with
every act and incident Of his career as
boy, youth and man familiar to every
Tallahasseean, there is absolutely moth
ing to which any one-even an enemy,
if he had one Of that kind could point
as discrcditabe.
In the brief time during which he has
been practicing his chosen profession,
he has won for himself an enviable po-
sition among his brethren Of the Leon
county bar As q citizen, the estimate
of his fclow-citizcus of Tallahassee has
been fifty cxcmpIiGcd by his unanimous

Here old winter was beginning to let loose his grip. the great gorges of ice were break ing loose and floating off down the swoll- en streams. The snow banks, from two to six feet deep in the woods. were be- ginning to melt and send small streams to the rivers.
 Monday, in Iowa. was a cold cloudy day-iust such a day as chills one through and through. The frost was coming out of the ground: this and the melting snow had made country roads almost lmpassl- ble.

WHAT TO DO WITH FLEET.

Washington, March 2.-What to do with the North Atlantic fleet this summer is problem now under consideration in the bureau of navigation. After the ships complete their target practice at Pensacola which will be late in May. they will come north to the navy yards for repairs, and will be so distributed that each yard will get a fair portion of the work.
 With their repairs completed, the bat tleships and armored cruiser squadron will be ready for cruising and it has been suggested that instead of going to Europe the ships shall cruise in New England waters givng the men liberal leave at home ports, where their rela- tives can visit them.
 In case this plan Is not adopted, it is possible the squadron will visit various English ports

that my father, B. NJ Long. had swim died him in a land transaction and had borrowed some money from him which was never fully repaid MT. Cooper also charges that my brother. Pope AI.

Cooper to purchase some land and promised to pay Mr. Cooper the money he borrowed with per cent interest. and in addition te give him one-half of the profits arising from the sale of the land so purchased. This was done. The money was paid to Mr Cooper with per cent interest, and nearly S500 in addition was given to him by my father as Gooper's part of the profits arising from the sale of the land As evidence of this fact I hereby give a copy of the receipt signed by Marshal D.
