Hon. James E. Broome, of Quincy,
was a visitor to our city Saturday and
made this office a very pleasant call.
Mr.. Broome represented Gadsden
county in the state senate for per-
iod of twelve years during the most
eventful history of politics in this
state and left a reputation for integ-
rity, industry and ability, which does
him supreme honor and we are glad
that the democrats of Gadsden will
return him to that body. The state is
in need of as many men like Mr.
Broome as it can possibly secure and
to return him to the senate Gadsder
county will be comforting a gift to the
whole state. We hope that Mr.. Boone
will be returned.

ONE YEAR OF. PHILANTHROPY.

American philanthropy, which
measured by contribution sank to a
low ebb in 1904-S46, zoe, 9S0-made a
creditable mark for itself in 1905.
When total contributions of s1O4, $780,
452 were recorded. Only once have
the rich men Of the country done bet
ter that was in 1901, when the to-
tai was s12S,Sss,7S2.
There has been a shift during the
year in the destinations of the gifts
of the wealthy. The feature of the
figures is the enlarged prominence of
art in all its fields. In 1904, the mu-
seums and art galleries received only
$S9S,000, and we then suggested: IF
any of our millionaires wish to mark
out new lines for themselves they
might we'll direct a large portion of
their public gifts to the puchase OF
statutes, canvases, and archaeological
and chronological collections and the
buildings that shall house them The
gifts to museums, art galleries and for
municipal betterment in the follow
ing year aggregated sS,7O5, $50. or al
most ten times the figures of 1904.
Where art stood poor fifth in gifts
received two years ago, it stood third
last year, passing religion, which re-
ceived gifts totaling $6,O41,25O. as
against s5,S42.S90 the year before;
and libraries which received $1,O61,-
500, as against $1,541,366 the year be-
fore. The great totals of 1905 were
education, $49,63S,357; and charities,
$39, 1885. 1t would seem that the
impulse to found libraries had passed
the high water mark. The two new
factors in the philanthropy of the year
are Andrew Carnegie's $15,000,000 as
pension fund for retired professors,
and the Jewish relief fund of $1,173,-
2SO.
Mr.. Carnegie gave $19,95S,730 in
1905 and Mr.. Rockefeller $11,60,000,
the two being responsible for more
than quarter of the recorded gifts
1t is not recorded, however, that be-
tween them they own one-quarter of
the wealth of the country. The figures
of the year are another loud call to
people of moderate but adequate
means.-New York Mail.

The Date of the Primary.

Hon. Hoke Smith doesn't seem to be
satisfied with the state democratic
executive committee. His newspaper
organ has been criticising the commit
tee for delaying to call the primary,
and in his speech at Douglas on Fri
day he complained, if he was report
ed correctly, that the committee called
the primary in 1902 at a time to suit
Mr.. Terrell. We infer from what Mr..
Smith said that he would like to have
an early primary this year.
The primary in 1902 was held in the
latter part of June. 1t is our recol-
lection that there was considerable
fault found with the date. 1t was
thought it should have been called lat
er in the summer, when the farmers
were freer to take part in it. 1t was
said that in June they are so busy that
large percentage of them fail TO go
to the polls. 1t, is probably that the
committee remembers this criticism
and is acting in accordance with it. If
il is d fact that it is more convenient
for the farmers to go to the polls in
August than in June the time of the
primary should be in the latter month
There is no particular reason why
the primary should be held early in the
year. The regular election doesn't oc-
cur until October. There is no cam
paigning to be done after the primary
which is. in effect, the election. OF
course if a ticket in opposition to the
democratic ticket should be nominated
longer time for canvassing the state
might be advisable, but there is nc
probability this year of an opposition
ticket.
Mr.. Smith began his campaign ear
| ly and, thinking he has made a good
impression, he would like to have the
votes harvested at once. The other
candidates, however, believing that the
primary wouldn't be called until the
latter part of the summer, didn't begin
their campaigns until after the frs
of the year. If, therefore, the pri-
mary should be called for day early
in June Mr.. Smith would be given ar
dvantage.-Savannah News.

Mrs. Welsh Entertains the Gard Club

Thursday afternoon Mrs. E. c.
Welsh, of Cornell, gave the Young La
dies card club a very delightful par
ty. She entertained her guests at the
home of Miss Sara Harris and the
games Of progressive whist were thor
oughly enjoyed. There were three ia
bles and cards were played until five
o'clock when cream, cake and bon bons
were served. The games were marked
on lovely little hand painted score
cards and the prizes were a dainty
little water color copy of Harrison
Fishers, "Nedra," and a set of mon
ogram shirt waist pins. The former
was won by Miss Mary Anderson and
the pins by Miss Louise 1Aarris.
There will be no meeting of the club
this week but on Thursday afternoon
April 10, Miss Ether Robinson will bt

The Front Porch-Everybody Resort
in Florida.

In Florida the front porch justifies
its proper purposes about eleven
months in the year. OF course during
the winter there are times that it is
only stepping stone" into the home
but when April comes the front porch
ceases to be a mere threshold of the
home. 1t becomes sitting room, nurs-
cry library. 1t is the hearthstone
transferred to the open.
Here the family sits and solaces it
self. Inoffensive gossip floats about
and wisdom also. Here is the forum
Grave problems are sorted and settled
and laughter has its place.
If you would know the average
American family in its normal stage
watch it as it sits on the front porch
after supper, amicably criticising its
neighbors or discussing the family OF
state Of affairs, laughing at the play
of children-good humored, satisfied
with itself, optimistic. And if you
watch close enough, the play of senti-
ment is not lacking
1t matters not how pretentious OF
how humble be the front porch. Il
may proximate the luxury Of great
veranda, or it may be only a stoop, OF
few steps. Here as the sun goes
down, forefathers the family.
In Florida the front porch arises tC
the dignity Of an institution. Although
it is not one of the things for which
the fathers fought, it is parcel of us
and it is as potent in its day as was
the town meeting in its day.
Besides
The front porch provides that whicf
we need as much as anything-relax'
alton. The strenuous life has no place
on the front porch. Let the heather
and the wicked imagine vain thing
AS for us
Let us go out on the front porch

the first. He was a foe to fads. He
had a shrewd llumor.

a faddist of a marked type. He car

This clergyman wouldn't drink any

GROVER CLEVELAND.
Will Build a Winter Home at Stuart.

Lately it has been learned that ex-
President Grover Cleveland. who for
many winters has been coming south
to Stuart, in the northern part of Dade
county, has purchased a plot of land
in the town and will erect substan-
tial winter home thereon. The seller
was Ernest Stypman and the deed will
be recorded in Miami within the next
few days.
All the world knows that Grover
Cleveland is an enthusiastic fisherman
and all the world knows also that
Florida is his favorite stamping
ground. Therefore the announcement
that he is to build in Stuart causes
little surprise, and the fear felt by
Florida people, that, needing the invi-
tation of California, he may turn his
affections to the Golden State another
winter, is found TO be baseless. Dade
county is proud of it's distinguished
winter visitor.-West Palm Beach

the consequences to the independent oil
