pRAINAcE M A PARAeRAPH.

Let's drop all technical ques-
tons as to the practicability of
successfully draining the Ever
glades, as to their value to the
people when drained, and even
as to whether we need these
lands badly enough to increase
our taxes for this purpose, and
discuss a phase of the question
not requiring technical knowl-
edge, but which may be under
stood by every taxpayer and citi-
zen: The L. & N. Railroad Com
pany claims the Everglades as a
grant to them by the Florida
Legislature. The Internal I'M
provement Board claims that the
Legislatures grant was without
legal authority and is void. The
question of ownership is pending
in a case before the courts, and
will be decided solely on laws al
ready enacted. Who owns the
Everglades? Who will own them
after our money has been spent
to drain them? If the railroad
company wins it's suit, then every
cent invested in drainage will go,
along with the land, to the rail-
road company. Do you want
your money spent improving
property which you have no sure
title to, and which may finally go
to this corporation? If we drain
this property, is it not business
common sense to wait until we
are sure who owns it, the State
or the railroad? Governor Brow
ard has claimed that the anti
drainage movement and all its
arguments were in the interest
of and prompted by the railroads.
Might we not more logically claim
that the Governors high-handed
efforts to force this drainage on
an unwilling citizenship was in
the interest of the L. & n. Co.,
and that he is really endeavoring
to spend the peoples money
(While the question of ownership
is being fought out in the courts)
to increase the value of the now
almost worthless lands 50 that
the railroad company might profit
when the question Of ownership
is decided in it's favor? Don't
you think so, fellow-voter?

Not Worth the Cost.

Governor Broward has referred to the
value of the land in the Everglades
after drainage, placing a high figure on
it, What will it be worth 10 Florida?
Under our laws just the same as any
other public lands ID dollarand a quarter
per acre. No one knows what the
drainage of the Everglades would cost,
but under our laws for the settlement
Of public lands, the entire area o.. ,u.
lands assessed for drainage would Uc
worth less than nine million dollars
valued on a public land basis. In one
way or another the State claims about
half this area and might get land which
il would sell for four million ami q half
dollars This is in doubt, however. as
the State has already appropriated y

Gen. Albert Gilchrist, of Punta Gorda,
and candidate for Governor, has re-
. f4sedup TO the present writing to define
his position relative to the county di-
vision fight, which is raging in DeSoto
county. Many of the Generals DeSoto
county friends resent his silence regard
ing this issue, believing that he should
have nerve enough TO declare himself
one way or another. Fort Myers Tropi-
cal Breeze.
The Advocate has been somewhat
mixed up in the county division fight,
and 'up to the present writing" we
know of no one in DeSoto county who
has asked Gen. Gilchrist to mix up in
the present middle Whether divided
or not, DeSoto county will stand solid
.Vfor Gen. Gilchrist for Governor, and
the Breeze will have but little oppor-
tunity to make political capital fer
their West Florida candidate on account
of our county division fight. We might
add that South Florida editors have a
habit of supporting South Florida men,
even though the editors were born in
West Florida Florida Advocate.
Come, now, don't you DeSOto county
newspaper men get serious and quarrel
over the Generals candidacy, or his
chances for being elected Governor next
time; the whole thing is being looked
upon all over the State as huge joke,
for Gen. Gilchrist in his whole self is
purely and simply a joke; besides, he
is and has been trailing with some poll
ticians in Florida whom many people
are tired Of dominating affairs-as has
been evidenced by some Of his actions
in public affairs in the recent past. The
pretty General may rest assured boxes

Floridians learn what gang of politicians
are grooming him. He might learn
how to hold down the dignity of that

ent Governor is absent from the execu-
tive chamber more days than was any
former Governor, bit the other Chief
Executives had no drainage and insur-
ance schemes on such gigantic plans as
does Napoleon. Gen. Gichist could tell
his subjects "to wipe off their chin
and pull down their vest, 3" however,
and that would be something there
would be no harm in. Send along some
more Huyler candies. General, for there
is now another and a new set of young

Death Of Infant Sons Of Two Friends.
The Times Union of Tuesday, June
10Th, brings US news of the death of i'm
FAINT sons of two of our friends
Philip Manville Ball, Jr., 10 months
of age, son of Mr. and Mrs. Philip NJ.
Ball, died at the residence of his par
ents at 5 o'clock Monday morning, after
an illness of several weeks. The inn
mediate cause of death was pneumonia
Mr.. and Mrs. Ball have the sincere sym
patty of their many friends in their sad
bereavement. Little Philip was just of
an age when he was most interesting,
and his death is deeply deplored by a
large number of friends who had come
to love the little fellow for his attract
i've ways and loving disposition.
The angel of death visited the home
of Hon. and Mrs, Hunt Harris Sunday
morning, at Key West, and carried the
spirit of their 2-year-old son heaven
ward. Until week ago w. Hunt Har-
ris, Jr, enjoyed robust health and was
most precocious child. He was taken
suddenly i'll and cholera infantum devel-
oped, and despite the efforts Of the best
medical skill and the most careful
nursing he sank rapidly until Sunday
morning, when the weakened constitu-
ton gave up the struggle for life. Only
those who have felt the chubby arms
Of baby around their neck or have ex-
perenced the changing emotions that
two years Of constant watchfulness or
tender nursing bring can appreciate
what the sudden taking away of loved
one means In this case it is an only
son, the pride of mis- father and the JOY
Of his mother. The human mind cannot
measure their grief, words fail to eX-
press coincidence that will be effective,
and we drop a tear to mingle with
theirs as an expression of sympathy.

A Square Deal

L. assured you when you buy one OF DR..
Pierce's family medicines-for all the in
gradients entering into them are printed
on the bottle-wrappers and their formula
are attested under oath as being complete
and correct. You know Just what you are
paying for and that the ingredients are
gathered from Natures laboratory, being
selected from the most valuable native
medicinal roots found growing in our
American forests and while potent to cure
are perfectly harmless even to the most
delicate women and children. Not drop
of alcohol enters into their composition.
A much better agent is used both for ex,
tracing and preserving the medicinal
principles used in them, viz.-pure triple
refined glycerine. This agent possesses
intrinsic medicinal properties of its own,
being a most valuable anti-septic and anti
ferment, nutritive and soothing demul-
cent.
Glycerine plays an important part in
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery in
the cure of Indigestion, dyspepsia and
weak stomach, attended by sour risings,
heartburn, foul breath, coated tongue,
eS apd n ssas dersnse
ments of the stomach, liver and bowels.
Besides curing all the above distressing
ailments, the UGolden Medical Discovery"
is specific for all diseases of the mucous
membranes, as catarrh, Wnetner OF tne
nasal passages or of the stomach, bowels
or pelvic organs. Even in its lucrative
stages it will yield to this sovereign rem
edy If its use be persevered in. In Chronic
Catarrh of the Nasal passages, it is well,
while taking the Golden Medical Dis
covery" for the necessary constitutional
treatment, to cleanse the passages freely
two or three times a day with DR.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy. This thorough course
of treatment generally cures the worst
cases.
In coughs and hoarseness caused by bron-
chial throat and lung affections except con-
sumption in its advanced stages, the Golden
Medical Discovery" is q most efficient rem
edy, especially in those obstinate. hang-on
coughs caused by irritation and congestion of
the bronchial mucous membranes. The "Dis-
covery" is not so good for acute coughs aris-
ing from sudden colds. nor must it be ex-
pected to cure consumption in its advanced
stages-no medicine will do that-but for all
the obstinate. chronic coughs which, II neg
lected or badly treated. lead up to consump-
ton. it is the best medicine that can be taken.
