kicker II his candidate was defoatedl
And Iusty kicker he b, but VIXEN he
attacks Governor Br0ward's actions
and stands with the corporations and
grafters who oppose his administration
he needn't expect that the pablo win
take him seriously when be relates that
Il Is all for the good Of the dear people.
A man, the world over, IL judged by
the company he keeps. Arcadia Cham
pion.
We were living on q farm, out of the
newspaper business and not in politics
at all We supported and voted for
Hon. d. H. Mays, Of Jefferson, the
candidate who should have been elected
Governor, for several and various good
and best reasons, as time has proven.
We have been in training as a printer
and newspaper man IS years for others
and ourselves, going in under Charles
Edgar Dyke, the purest and best, as
well as the brightest all-round newspa-
per man that ever honored journalism
in this State, and he, at all times, and
under all circumstances, denounced
wrong doing in all things. Was fighter
to finish for what was right always.
During later years we, in our smaller
calibre makeup, have endeavored to do
the same thing and shall continue to do
as long as occasion arises for it.. You
do us, maybe, an unintentional injus-
tice when you say we are in any way
connected with corporations and graft
ers; that feature is unworthy of notice.
Now "a man the world over is judged
by the company he keeps" and we as
sure you, Sister Editor Eva Childs, we
are we'll satisfied to be judged by the
company we keep, as we associate and
affiliate with the very best in this State,
headed by such men as BlOxham and
public men of his kind and standing, q
list of whom in Florida this little news
paper would not hold, who are in and
out of politics. We stand we'll with the
ministers of our city, with the lawyers,
with the merchants, with the bankers,
with the tradesmen, with the citizens
of our whole community. If there be
one in our whole county with whom we
are not in good standing and who would
discredit us, we are not aware of it,
We believe we have the full confidence
and respect of our whole citizenship
We are perfectly willing to be judged
by the company zoe Gl'Cays keep, and as
a newspaper man always stand for the
moral and religious welfare of our
home. Does this satisfy you?

The very latest: Have you received
souvenir postal card? We promise to
never mention General Albert Gil
christ's funny little doings any more.
We did not expect to get almost all of
the DeSoto county newspapers to sling
ing at US along other lines by helping
the pretty Albert make a monkey of
himself.
Old man Linton over at Bluff Sping,
near Pensacola, killed a young man
named Mason Sunday night who, Lin
ton says, came to his house drunk,
armed and quarrelsome and grossly in
suited his daughters and assaulted the
father. The old man gave himself up
and is now in Pensacola Jail. Another
instance of what whiskey and pistol
totiag will do for the youth of the land.
Live Oak Democrat

We would rather be, and feel con-
scentiously right, and at the head of a. n
country weekly newspaper, than be
Governor of Florida, at any time, if
you please, even if we do have to labor
hard to meet a weekly pay roll and to
gather for ourselves and dependents
the daily necesssries of life. There Is
something in this world that should be
1earer to the human welfare than the
Dlaudits of men and filthy lucre. No
man should bow down to worship NAM
mon.

To the Courier-Informant we will saw
we meant to convey not the least idea
that anyone or any of the newspapers
with those premium papers
had done or was doing anything wrong.
Il was simply this, and nothing more.
