POT TIME POLITICALLY
IN OEsoTo COUNTY.

Things political in DeSoto county
are somewhat stirred up over the ap-
pointment of a county judge by Gov
e-nor Broward, Notwithstanding the
recommendation of another man by
The county executive committee. The
case is stated EXPLICITLY in the follow
ing article by the Tampa Herald,
which VIII prove interesting to local
politicians:
Things are somewhat warm down in
DeSoto county from political stand
polnt. The county iudge-eleet recently
died and Governor Broward appointed
hon. ]. A. Cochran, of N0catee. 70 fill
TIE place. The old county judge made
m effort to hold the place and he re-
ceived the endorsement Of the county
executive committee. Governor Brow
ara die not make the appointment &C
eording To the committee endorsement
and there is a wall. The Wauchula Ad-
yocate. concerning the AFFAIR, says:
@Col. ]. A. Cochran. of Nocatee, has
been appointed county judge by Gov
ernor BEoward.
This is according TO the great ma
jority of the people of De Soto coun-
ty. but there are few men who call
themselves party leaders and they
are greatly disappointed and We learn
from the DeSoto County News that the
governor is being highly censured Tor
ignoring party authority and still fur
tier has established a precedent at
the beginniRan2f his administration
which is nj AndeG to curry favor
With organs53 democracy
ssThe News fails to state what the
common people have to say OF the APP
pointment.
But Tnere is another phase to the
situation. Although Judge Poser was
overwhelmingly defeated il the pri-
r-ary, and people went out of their

Everyman.

This quaint old English play was
written during the reign of Edward Nv
l451-14S3.
The name of the author is unknown,
but it is generally believed that he
was a monk, who had had previous ex-
perience in writing morality or miracle
plays. There can be no doubt that the
story itself is based on a parable mar
rated in the religious romanc of Bar
laam and Jehosaphat, which is now
ascribed to John of Damascus, the
younger, afterward Patriarch of An
tioch, who died in 1890.
The character of Everyman repre-
sents humanity in general. The story
of the play is simple but strong. The
Deity after telling how the privileges
He gave mankind have been abused,
calls upon Death to summon Everyman
to appear before his tribunal without
delay, and to bring his book of reckon
ing. The full meaning of this unex-
pected command terrifes Everyman,
and the knowledge that his book of
reckoning is almost devoid of good
deeds, adds to his terror. He begs of
Death to grant him time, so that his
book of reckoning may be made clear,
but that is CURLY refused. He then of,
fers him gold if the matter be deferred
for another day, and is again refused
any respite. Convinced that he must
obey the summons, yet dreading to
make the fearsome journey alone,
Everyman calls upon his relatives and
friends to accompany him and help
make his reckoning clear before God.
He first m Fellowship, then
Kindred, Cousin, Goods and Riches,
Five Wits, Strength, Beauty, etc. AT
first, they all readily promise their help
and comfort and swear to stand by him
in any distress; but on realizing what is
expected of them, become greatly
alarmed and all flee from him. Knowl-
edge comes to his aid and shows him
how Good Deeds, who lies weak from
neglect, may be restored and made
able and ready to walk by his side.
EVcryman repents and confcsses his
sins, and upon receiving the holy sacra-
ment and ointment, Good Deeds be-
strong and accompanies him on
his long journey.
The forceful and simple moral can
readily be seen in the sad death of
Everyman, forsaken by all his kith and
kin; alone, except for his Good Deeds
and an angel who awaits to carry his
soul to Heaven.
Everymm will be presented at the
City Opera House, Saturday night,
March 18th, by Mr. Rudolph Magnus
and an excellent company of fifteen
people. Tickets on sale at Copeland's.

School Money is Ready.

COLUMBIA, March 10. THE schools of
the State have to their credit $115, 900,
which will be distributed Just as soon
as the reports from the various county
superintendent of schools can be re-
ccived by the Comptroller General. All
of this money has been on hand since
the first of the year with the exception
of $4,000, which has recently been re-
ceived from the dispensary. Under the
terms of the law the deficiency money
has first to be made up; that is every
school district has to receive $75. 90 from
all sources. After the deficiency money
is paid the balance is to be paid cut upon
the basis of bona fide enrolment.
Comptroller General Jones cannot
pay out any of this money until he re-
ceives the reports from each of the
counties as to the amount claimed to
make the deficiency and the actual en-
rollment.
Just as soon as these returns are in
his hands the money ought to be dis
tributed as it is in bank to the credit OF
the school fund.

Attention, Veterans.

We are requested by Mrs. j. A. Cope
land, President of j.. b. Kershaw,
Chapter Daughters of the C%onfederacy,
to ask all veterans who desire the cross
of honor to send in their applications at
once These crosses will be conferred as
usual on the 10th, of May. The chapter
wishes to know at once in order that the
crosses may be ordered.
Another thing in which the ladies of
the chapter are much interested is the
preservation of as many records as
possible about the soldiers of Laurens
county. They are anxious for the veter-
ans to send them sketches of their per-
sonal experiences in battle, which will
be from time to time at the chapter
meetings and preserved among its papers
1T is probable too that some of these
accounts will be published by the county
papers. The ladies are in earnest about
this and wish the veterans to send in
the facts and not to be deferred by any
idea that polished productions are ex-
pected. The ladies know that these old
heroes of Laurens have interesting
stories to tell they want to preserve
before it is too late, and that most
of them have been such hard fighters
that they haven't had time to be lit
erary.
