R. +. Smedley asks us to pub
lish the following:
AT the request Of my friends
and near neighbors l came out for
commissioner in District No. 4,
having met with more encourage
ment than / expected. AT the
start it was my full intention to be
not only in the race but to be
county commissioner from my
district. But for some reason, one
of which was failed to get my
paper with the first call in it and
when got the next it was too late
to get on the ballot. So this, of
course, leaves me out.
Now all have to say in con-
clusion is to beg the forgiveness of
my friends for what seems to be
carlessness, but, please let me add,
it was not so intended as it would,
to say the least, be a source of
much qualification on my part to
serve my friends acceptably in any
position they might call on me to
fill. only hope, my supporters
will rally to the support of the
best and most competent man in
the race. 1t is not my purpose
and l do not deem it my privilege
to say who that shall be.
Again with thanks to my friends
I am, most sincerely,

Thoughts on Division.

County division or anti-division,
which is it1
We were once bitterly opposed
to county division but we have
been watching the evolution of
affairs from the narrow vision of
our judgment, we think the time
is ripe for division. Of course
around this bunch Of ponds every
body we have seen who resides
here is talking against division.
Even the bull frogs are croaking
Anti Division, Anti-Division,
Anti Division.
While in an issue like this we
are not going to put our judge
ment against a few Of our best
friends and what they honestly
think are against their interests
and the interests Of the people.
We are not intimidated into this
position but out of respect for such
men as ]. +. Raulerson. of Lily,
and M. F. Mizell, of Pine Level,
who are among the highest types
Of natures noblemen. Men who
have proved friends when we
needed friends and who have be-
slowed many acts of kindness upon
us and who have not in the least
tried to coerce us in the exercise
Of our opinions regarding this or
any other important issue. We
may be wrong in our conclusions
and we can't afford to put our
judgment against theirs when it
comes to the privilege of the right

signatures Of Wauchula citizens
attached The article reads thus;
We, the undersigned citizens.
after having investigated county
division are so thoroughly con-
WINGED that our taxes will be
materially reduced, we therefore
guarantee to the voters in the pro-
posed new county that in the
event the county is divided that
the present milIage shall not be
increased by reason Of said
division We further obligate and
bind ourselves that should the
millage be raised by reason of said
division we will be personally re
sponsible and will pay into the
treasury of the proposed new
county any amount over and above
the present rate Of millage'
This guarantee means absolutely
nothing and is not worth the paper
it is printed on. Why1 Because
in some instances the rate of tax
alton is already up to the limit pre-
scribed by law. This is true of
school taxes where the largest
deficit will be. The said agree
ment does not hinder a new assess
ment of the voters property. If
the millage remains the same or
even less and the assessment on all
property is raised are not the dear
people paying increased taxes'

Wauchula voters but it cannot

of editors than that of recording
the death of the young, cut off in
the glow and beauty Of budding
promise when life is still sweet and
hopes are in process of fulfillment.
And yet this sad duty must be
performed.
The death of Miss Beulah
Hollingsworth that occurred at her
home in this city last Friday mora
ing, was a great shock to a large
circle of relatives and friends, who
scarcely had yet heard of her short
illness. And yet Beulah had not
been in good health for the past
year or more. But so bouyant
were her spirits, so bright and
cherry the smile and ready words
that even her intimate associates
were not cognizant of her suffer
ings. The beginning of the end
came the night of the celebration
of the Brewer golden wedding.
She left there early because she
felt badly, and suffered for several
days but had respites when she
was able to be about filling her
accustomed place in the choir at
the Baptist church on the Sunday
before her death. On Tuesday
night she took her bed never to
rise from it again for two days
later the body only was left the
spirit had departed.
Beulah was almost seventeen
years of age, the only daughter of
]. N. Hollingsworth; was born in
DeSoto county and except for the
time spent away at school, at
Stetson at DeLand and Female
Seminary at Macon, Ga, spent her
girlhood in or near Arcadia. She
was a social favorite possessing
those winning ways that endeared
her to all who knew her.
The resident physicians and a
Jacksonville doctor did all in their
power to save her life but the
disease, appendicitis, and acute in
digestion had progressed so far
that they thought an operation not
advisable.
The funeral services were
solemn and appropriate, conducted
in the Baptist church by Doctor
DePass, on Saturday morning. A
choir of six young ladies dressed
in white, followed by six young
men in black with a white band
about their left arms, preceded the
casket when brought into the
church, and they rendered during
the service those lovely hymns
made immortal by being used at
the funeral of President Mckinley,
Lead Kindly Light, Asleep in
Jesus" and Nearer My God to
Thee" The burial was made at
Owens.
To the bereaved father and
brothers we tender heartfelt
sympathy in this grievous affection.

The issue on which Judge
Cochran makes his race for legis-
lator is clean cut. Equal rights
to all and special privileges to
none as applied to the corpor-
atoms or persons holding for their
use large bodies of land on which
they pay no taxes. He has a
remedy that he prescribes for this
evil. He understands law making,
sees the defects in our present
statutes and is telling the people
why they are burdened with taxes
while the rich 60 free. This is a
matter that, if settled right, would
reduce the poor mans burden and
make the rich man bear his share.
We need such man to represent
us in the legislature.

Our division friends say Arcadia
is putting figures for them entirely
too high, and do not apologize for
saying that we are planning to
build a new court house to cost
from 500, 900 to 100000, a fancy
that had its birth in their minds
alone. If we represented that
good county iails come high it is
because our cheap one had to be
remodeled so often to hold the
prisoners that we learned by dear
experience in hunting escaped
convicts that of all sorts of
economy the cheap jail is the
poorest.

duty of the negro in the matter
of sappressing rape and as 70
how the crime should be punish
ed is expressed by him as fol
lows:
Every colored man should
realize that the worst ny of
his race Is the negro ninal,
and above all the neg. ninal
who commits the dreadful crime
of rape and it should. be felt as
in the highest degree an offense
against the whole country, and
against the colored race in par
ticular, for a colored man to fail
to help the officers of the law in
hunting down with all possible
earnestness and zeal every such
infamous offender. Moreover, in
my judgment, the crime of rape
should always be punished with
death, as is the case with murder;
assault with intent to commit
rape should be made a capital
crime, at least in the discretion
of the court; and provision
should be made by which the
punishment may follow imme-
diately upon the heels of the
offense; while the trial should be
so conducted that the victim
need not be wantonly shamed
while giving testimony, and
that the least possible publicity
shall be given TO the details.
That is certainly good advice
10 the colored man, and it is to
be hoped that he will heed it.
The President is also right about
the punishment Of the rapist.
The penalty should not only be
death, but it should "follow i'm
mediately upon the heels of the
offense." The President is right,
