state Democratic Committee VIII
Make No Campaign.

Though every possible assistance
will be rendered the several county
committees, when it is asked for,
the state democratic committee will
make no active campaign this year,
either for the candidates or for or
against any of the state issues.
This action was decided upon at
recent meeting of the committee, at
tended by Hon. Duncan u. Fletcher,
state democratic chairman, and
Messrs. w. J. Bryan, w. ]. Tucker,
A. w. Cockrell. jr., C. F. Venable and
IS. Phillips.
The only state ticket in opposition
to the regular democratic ticket, is
that put in the field by the socialists.
The socialist vote in Florida is so
small that it is in no wise necessary
for the democratic committee to take
the field and fight against it, though
Iif any of the counties feel that CO.
operation would aid them, the state
committee will, whenever possible.
extend every assistance.
The state issues which consist of
the proposed amendments to the Flor
ida constitution, will be left entirely
in the hands of those supporting and
opposing them, or the several county
committees, unles assistance shall be
asked.
The state committee will not en-.
deayor to secure the passage of de-
feat of any of the proposed amend
ments, but will stick to the hands
off" policy. The committee holds
that these matters are matters for
the democrats of Florida to settle as
they see fit and that no request con
corning them will be made.
Those counties that ask for speakers
to discuss them will, however, be &C
accommodated, in so far as it is posi-
BILE, and when certain speakers are
asked for they will be sent to the
counties requesting them, regardless
of the position of the speakers OF
all of the amendments. The state
committee will not, however, bear th'
expenses incident to this work, AM
it must be paid either by the speak
ers themselves or by the county com
( mittees requesting them.-Times-Un

FiIipino Burial.

When Filipino is dying they place
his body on bamboo platform and
put candles around the platform to
the numbers Of the members of the
family, says Milagros letter to the
Elizabethtown Mirror When dead
they put shroud made of paper on
the body with as many stars as the
person is years of age; a crown Of
paper and bamboo is put on his head
with a large star in the center to
light his way to "Queendom." This
done, they proceed with the body to
the priest" or in native language,
padre" for his blessing on the star
to give it the lightning power to car
ry the bedy's spirit to "Queendom; :"
they then carry the body back to the
house where it died and there it re-
ceives the families departing blessing
of rice put in sack at the right hand
of the body. The candles are lighted
on the way to the grave and when the
procession arrives at the grave the
Ctndles are extinguished, the body
being lowered in the grave the candles
are relighted, and as the body is taken
from the bamboo hearse and put in
the box and the key buried with the
body. When the body is at last at
the bottom of the grave the family
take handful of dirt beginning al
the head of the family and go or
down to the youngest and the grave
is made The grave is made with DO
los and clam shells to the depth Of
about three feet. This is of the poorer
class. The richer class of Filipino
has very decent burials, taken from
the Americans, and their graves are
made of rock and cement.

A western paper says that you can
tell a successful farmer by looking
at his horse; you can tell slovenly
woman by looking at her hair; you
can tell the dry goods box statesman
by looking at the patches on the bos-
sum of his pattaloons: you can tell
the poisonous serpent by the blunt
ness of his tail, but the easiest thing
of all, you can tell the enterprising
merchant by a glance at the columns
of the local papers. This is not di-
vine revelations but is business and
gospel truth.-St. Augustine Meteor.

The Heart Of the Oak.

Written for the Ocala Banner:
Do you remember the old oak, sweet
May?
AS it stood there in majesty great?
How well it sheltered and watched
DER us there,
When as lovers we stood at the gate;
The stars peeping through the foliage,
sweet May,
Would smile as Dan Cupid awoke-
The tears that you shed at the parting
sweet May.
Must have touched cen the heart of
the oak.
I passed the old oak at cen tide,
sweet May,
And sigh seemed to pass through
the leaves;
A voice seemed to speak and call you,
sweet May,
feel that with me still it grieves.
You said you were sorry we'd met,
sweet May.
And the tears seemed to prove what
you'd spoke.
We both have a secret that's buried
sweet May,
Down deep in the heart of the
oak.

Theshipping season for Florida or
anges will soon open and it is hoped
that the growers and shippers have
given due consideration to last years
serious losses in transit with view
of avoiding repetition this season.
The short comings of the carriers,
the wet weather and careless picking
and packing all contributed share
in curtailing the growers profits. The
Florida orange crop is important to
the country at large and its market
ing should be handled according to
a perfect system in all details. Ar
rangements should be attended to in
advance so that when the crop is
ready to roll the machinery will turn
with ball-bearing ease.-N. Y. Packer.
