The weekly true Democrat. (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1905-1912, 1906-08-03

Editor Collins, of the True Democrat,
lost his temper in replying to some Of
his critics last week. It's q bad prac-
tice to write when one is mad, and il is
hoped that our brethren will keep cool.
Levy Times-Democrat
II we lost our temper, we are glad
Of it, what little we may have had, for
temper is fine thing to be rid of in any
one, and we truly do not like to have
any such in our makeup AS to the
toadies who worship at the shrine Of
abuses Of trusts and the mills that grind
grist for their henchmen, we do not
care a rip. The True Democrat stands
for something in the interest of the peo-
pie Of Florida, and no such putrid eff
forts to drive us from the policy we
have laid out for our paper will accom-
plish the purpose. We would rather be
the tail-end of yellow dog than the
mouthpiece for anything that was ir-
regular, rotten, or abusive TO the peo-
pie, ard surely cannot be dump on a
log" by seeing wrong-doing going on
and keeping our mouth shutup." The
True Democrat Is not prosecuting off,
Ger, nor a court Of justice, but this
newspaper will continue to give public
ity to affairs Of deep interest to the
people Of Florida, and maybe, some day,
the constituted authorities will take
those matters up and deal out justice to
those who deaerve II

WE'LL BUnAISH nlpG.
While The paperes thorOughOut the
State are saying many good things about
the Tribune's suggestion Of Hon, Rob
eft w. Davis, Of this city, for the Uni
ted State Senate, II can safely be Ac-
cspted that Colonel Davis has no aSpir-
atoms IN that direction. Col. Davis has
repeatedly declared his determination 70
take no active part IN politics IN future.
Tampa will come 20 the front how ever,
with the next Senator when the proper
time arrives. The remainder Of the
State may "sit up and take notice" Of
this little Tip" without further ado. -
Up the State they are receiving the
Gordon gubeFnatOrial announcement
with 20 grain of salt" That's almost
equivalent TO saying that our genial
Judge II q bit too fresh. Tampa
Tribune. 21st.
We catch the "tip" o. X. and a. we
have before arose TO remark, when the
time arrives to elect q Senator, that
Tampa has q man that will do. Hon.
Stephen N. Sparkman 10 the man FloTid-
ians should make It's Senator when Hon.
Stephen s. Mallory decides he has
enough Of It. Mr.. Mallory Is a hard
working, valuable Senator and will no
doubt stand for another election.
Please somebody chastise John Col.

pion.
Perhaps that might be q good way to
attempt to refute or oversbadOw the
many occurrences John Collins True
Democrat has given publicity to. Ger
tainly II would be q little better than
were the efforts in letter writing, gram
mar schools, etc; but, dear sister,
mother, grandmother or what not Gas
we do not know your sge), you had
better come up and do the spanking act
for your loved ones. We used TO get it,
and take It like q little man, from our
angel mother, who always taught Us to
advocate and fight for what we con-
scientiously considered was right, and
until this day we thank her for 1t. As
TO our "superiors," 90 long as we are
honest, and keep clean, we consider no
man our superior in ordinary affairs of
life, even II by accident some scheming
do happen to get q little au-
thority over US Public men, who
abuse q trust placed In them, look as
ugly to US as do ugly acts in smaller
men. II your most wOrshipfuls will
prove to the people Of Florida that the
True Democrat has lied on them or
done them willful injustice, we promise
you ito run and make haste TO get that
but as things now stand,
I'VE stand pat" In our position, and
again call upon the people Of Florida
70 begin preparation for putting better
men IN several Of these positions of au-
thOrity over Us all.

There 10 enough good farming land in
this section to keep several thousand
farmers busy planting and harvesting
their crops. And these lands are cheap
to-day but have an upward tendency.
III there was a scarcity Of land in
Florida, there would be reason in drain
ing the everglades. But there Is no
scarcity Of land, hence the draining Of
the everglades is an unwise and foolish
bit of extravaganza. ----Apalachicola

Pay the Doctor

The good country doctor, though with a practise so large that he was over- worked. turned over new leaf by send ing the following notice to his clients : 1.-The doctor cannot live on work, and fresh air, and hope, any longer than you can. So pay him as promptly as you like to be paid when you have worked for some one. You expect the doctor, when you need him. to leave everything and come as quickly as he can, any time, day or night, to help you to do all he can for you, even to risk his health and life. The doctor expects you, when he has served you, to do your best to pay his bills promptly, as soon as you can, not putting them off till all other bills are paid, or until you have spent your money, perhaps some of it foolishly. " There is no doubt about it, too many folks leave the doctor to be paid last and never get him paid at all. He deserves better treatment.

Women Painted Fence

The women of Ridgepury came to the conclusion a short time ago that the fence about the village cemetery was in too dilapidated condition to be a credit to the place, so they set to work to raise funds to buy material for a new one. Then they got the men to get together and build the fence. That done, the women declared that the fence should be painted and decided to do the job themselves. Twelve sun-bonneted and aproned women painted the fence a rich green. They did their work like experts and the fence is now thing of beauty and joy to the village.

Mrs. Celia Madow, wife of John Madow of New Haven, has hiccoughed steadily for year. At times there is a rest of almost minute between coughs, and at other times they come with great rapidity.

Except for minor bruises, she was not hurt, but immedi- ately began to hiccough. Fresh air is the only thing that affords even the slightest relief

Surveyors at Work.

Surveyors are at work on the proposed trolley line from Great Harrington through South Egremont to Sheffield. roubt has been expressed as to whether this line would be built, owing to the attitude of Gov. Guild as to the owner ship of the Berkshire road by the N. T., N. H. 6 H. R. R. company, or rather its holding company, the Consolidated rail- way company, It can be said that if the New Haven road retains possession of the Berkshire line, and 1t is safe to say that there is mighty little chance of it's letting go or being forced to let go, the line will be extended, and in all prob ability through South Egremont.-Berk- shire Press.

Most Killed Him

Medicine won't help you any" the doctor told his patient. "What you need is a complete change of living. Get away to some quiet country place for a month. Go to bed early. Eat more roast beef, drink plenty of good rich milk, and smoke just one cigar day. " A month later the patient walked into the doctors office. He looked like new man, and the doctor told him so. Yes, doctor, your advice certainly did the business. went to bed early and did all the other things you told me. But, say, doctor, that one cigar day almost killed me at first. It's no joke starting ill to smoke at my time of life.
