CONGRESSIONAL candidates.

From present indications Hon. W.
B. Lamar and Hon. Jefferson d.
stephens, the latter of Mariana, will
be the only contestants for the seat in
Congress assigned to the Thiru Con-
gressiOnal District of Florida and now
occupied by the first named gentle
man. Other names have been men
toned in connection with this partiCu-
lar place but up to this good hour no
other Richmond has SHE'D his castor

positively asserted that he has no in
tention of doing so.-Madison New

We, Us & Co.
Hon. Frank Clark has failed to OBJ
tain sea island cotton seed for his
constituents, because of the seed
trust organized by the South Caro-
lima cotton growers. Our editor maze
this effort some time ago and was
confronted with the same obstacle.
Thus, two great men have made a
failure.-Jasper News.
The Fool Farmer.
What good does it do a farmer to
get $50 a bale for his cotton and then
bet on the market next day and lose
dollar bale on fifty bales? 1t is
declared to be a fact that if the win
nings of Wall street from southern
fools could be actually paid for cot
ton it would reduce the net price to
4 cents a pound. One good thing
about the system is that the store.
keepers who advance money on the
crop get theirs back before the specu-
lative farmer gets his hands on the
balance. And the colored brother is
not addicted to betting on Wall street.
He may waste his money, but not on
margins.-Tampa Times.
A Neat Rejoiner.
A neat rejoiner was that made BY
the Times-Union to Governor Brow
ards assertion that he was elected
without the aid of that paper. The
Times-Union grimly remarked that it
was also true that the governor was
nominated without the vote Of his
own ward, his own city or his own
county.-Tampa Tribune.
Case of Tom. Grice.
The case of Thomas Grice, a IA
year old colored boy, who was recent
ly convicted of murder in the first de- |
gree in Escambia county, and sen.
fenced to death. is certainly one that
presents some rather unusual features
L seems that Grice, while scuIling in /
boat with another boy, in some way
threw the latter into the water, where
h. was drowned. The case is now be.
fore the state pardOning board. and /

ed, the matter is one that should be
carefully looked into.-Jacksonvillel

| Germany's attitude in the Morocco
question and the demands her repre-
sentatives will make at the coming in

will, it is feared in Washington diplo-
| matte circles here, lead to war be-
tween the empire and France, unless

ate his views. France is determined. it
Is said, not to allow Germany to inter
fere with her plans in Morocco and
| will resent by force Of arms, If neces-

That Germany's attitude on the
question has been anticipated by
France is believed in diplomatic and
army circles. The recent activity in
The French army, explained by that
nation as mere maneuvers incident to
q change in the head of the war de-
partment," 1t is thought proves this
belief. The French army is now in
high state of excellence, and there is
a considerable element in the republic
that is willing to undertake a test Of
strength with the Kaiser if driven to
1t by Germany's avowed intention of
encroaching upon the rights of France
In Morocco.
Apparently German opinion is not a
little disturbed by the way events are
shaping. There are two sides to the
question in that country, the one which
Is expressed in the tranquilizing state
ments of the Kaiser's New Years
speech to his generals, and the other
by Prince Won Buelow's illusions to
'perils and unfathomable abysses."
It is pointed out here that the Kai-
ser counts himself more of a soldier
than Of diplomatist. In his diplo-
matte contests he has always met dis
appointment He has not yet tried his
military prowess. His army is larger
by million men than when he came
keep it at the Won Moltke level of eff
cheney. He regards his navy as the
equal of any in the world save Eng
lands. In addition, he is pushing to
rapid completion naval construction
that will cost more than S60O,0O0,000.
A suggestive development in the
question has been the recent order for
$50,000,000 worth Of cars, capable of
transporting troops, and his proviso
that the cars must be rushed to COM
pletion. This and the massing of troops
along the French frontier is taken as
significant that, despite his words of
peace and infinite palaver, he is ready
for the worst if he cannot secure the
settlement of the Moroccan question as
he desires it.
