Supplement- to The Audubon Republican

It has been understood right along
that George Cosson would stand for d
denomination for the Office of county
attorney, but not until today has he
made a formal announcement, which
may be found in another place in this
paper. Mr.. Cosson graduated from
the law department of the State Uni
versity in 1898 and came here that
year to enter upon the practice of his
profession. He has made an enviable
reputation as an upright citizen and
a successful lawyer. Two years ago
he was elected as county attorney and
is now filling the Office with eminent
success. He has believed in and
practiced a rational enforcement of
the law against rich and poor alike,
without fear or favor, fact that will
be remembered by his republican
friends in the county.

A Good Suggestion.

Shelby county republicans are get
ting "het up little on thegovernor-
ship question. Every man has the
right TO favor whom he pleases in
contest of this kind. 1t would be
good politics and good sense, however
for every republican to refrain from
hasty language directed against the
candidate whom he opposes. Some
radicals are declaring they will never
vote for Cummins if he is nominated,
and others are making the same dec
laration' against Perkins. 1t is the
opininiOn of this writer that any and
every good republican will prefer to
vote for the party's nominee, when he
is chosen, rather than any other can
didate. So don't handicap yourself
by declarations against either Perkins
or Cummins. You may be sorry after
ward that you spoke.-Harlan Repub-
lican.

The Woodmen Return.

The Woodmen team returned this
morning from Avoca and Omaha
where they had been to a log-rolling
and initiation. Those who went were
w. F. Roberts, J. e. WEIGH, Gerson
Laubender, Neal Brantsen, Albert
Law, James Hart, Claus Krese, Will
Webster, M. H. Titterington and S.
A. Mahargue. At Avoca they com
peted with four teams and came Off
with second prize. At Omaha they
attended meeting in their great au-
ditorium where 633 members were
initiated at one time. Our boys say
it was sight worth going that dis
tance to see.

We call the readers attention to
the display advertisement in another
place in this paper giving notice of a
Republican meeting at Kimoallton
next Saturday exening, which will be
addressed by Hon. Geo. D. Perkins of
Sioux City. Mr.. Perkins is one of the
leading candidates for governor and
all the people within reach of Kim

speak upon the issues of the day.
Those who heard Mr.. Perkins down
at Atlantic three weeks ago were very
highly pleased. One week from next
Saturday he will speak in Audubon.

PENSACOLA FLORIDA. WEDNESDAY. MORNING NOVEMBER 1901
Pensacola Needs
a Better Mail Service,

For some time past, late trains and
late mails have been the rule in Pen
sacoIa. No one knows with any GER
tainty when a train is likely to come
in and it would be presumption to
even speculate on when a mail is
likely to be distributed.
The mail which should reach here
at O'Clock in the morning comes
with a regular irregularity, which is
one of those things that neither a
prophet, the son OF Prophet, nor
both of them, could forecast or ac-
count for. Like an election, the only
certain thing about this 8 o'clock mail
is its uncertainty. II comes when it
happens 10 and when nothing happens
to It. We may set It by 1880 a. m.
and we may not get till 6 p. n.
OF late also tho mail which should
reach Pensacola at D. m frequently
does not gst here till $3.50 p. NJ and

speaking. for he cannot well distribute
mail which he does not receive or
which gets in at time when outgo-
ing mail must have the attention of

case, can hardly be helj responsible.
BY similar process Of elimination,
We can count out the Pensacola Flo

the exception of its handling of the

In Pensacola on time
1t therefore looks as If the main
trouble-with the exception, as we
said, Of the a. m. mail-lies with
the mail service higher up, and that
Is the point we desire to reach.
The delay in mails at Pensacola is
caused for the most part by delay in
the great through mail service further
up the line. The railroad companies
are obviously responsible for this de.
lay. The government pays them ex.
horbitant rates for carrying the mails
and the railroads take their own time
and suit their own convenience about
delivering them.
II the post Office department, when
letting the mail contracts, were to
provide a good stiff fine, and then col,

would soon get into the habit of max.
Ing their schedules on time, and for
doing what the people pay them for
doing. But the railroads have pretty
much their own way with the post
office department, just as they dc
with practically every branch Of the
government.
Now that the railroad question is
up-now that 1t has at last, despite
the cowardice of the politicians, be
came national issue-we trust thai
the delivery of the mails, which af
fects every portion of the country
Just as 1t does Pensacola, will receive

serves.
The question deserves considerable
consideration in Pensacola and We
trust that It will continue to get wha
