AN APPEAL FOR
FLORIDA DISPLAY.
Our States Exhibit Should Show Up
Among the Very Best at
Jamestown.

To the People of Florida-On behalf
of the jamestown commission, we sub.
init to you that we are without funds
that we must rely upon the spontane-
Gus response of the public spirited peo-
Pile; that Florida should be among the
bright galaxy OF "outhern States that
will shine in the national sisterhood at
jamestown.
The time is short within which any
thing may be accomplished. That we
must call upon you for volunteers to
come up and help IN this crisis; that we
estimate $50, 900 would enable Florida
to have representation al this great ex-
position; that twice this amount is
needed to make the State show to her
best advantage; That Florida can doubt
less make better showing on less ex-
pense than perhaps any other State in
the Union; therefore We make this APP
peal to every patriotic citizen of the
State who sees this article.
We ask you to form committee of
your own, TO get in touch with some
one of this commission; do not wait for
us to reach you personally, but we ask
every man, woman and child in Florida
TO get to work.
As you feel pride in your own State,
IL you wish TO have her represented at
this great exposition, get 10 work now
and send US your subscription and ask
for subscription list, for in doing so
you will place yourself on the honor roll
and will help to tighten the burden
which rests upon Us all. Unless there
shall be subscribed as much as SIS, 900
under this call, then the commission
feels II is not justified in pursuing the
matter any further, and will so report
to the Legislature at its meeting in
April.
AllwhO desire 70 subscribe will please
notify Mrs. X. l.. Eagan, vice. president
of the commission, at No. 2l6 West
Forsyth street, jacksonville, Fla, so
that a record may be kept of the
amounts subscribed.
Respectfully,
4. j. l.. Brown, PTssl&snt.

Captain Sharpe Resigned as Vice.
President and Col. ]. o. Hatch
Elected 20 Vacancy.

The cambridge Tribune of the Sd

to business matters connected with the
Georgia, Florida and Alabama Rail-
road:
"The private car Of Mr.. j. p. Will
Hams was attached to the north-bound
train yesterday morning and stopped at
the passenger depot of the G. F. & A.
"A called meeting Of the directors
was held there because Of the indispOsi-

because OF the privacy obtained. Bust

ut was decided to have a vice-presi-
dent who would act for the president
and for thiS reason Capt JnO. n. Sharpe
resigned that position. His resignation
was accepted with regrets by the d.
rectors and Mr.. j. o, Hatch was elected
to fill the vacancy. He will remain IN
Savannah for the present, but will have
active charge Of the road. He resigned
the office of secretary and treasurer
and Mr.. f. Dusenbery Of Savannah was
elected to fill that position.
TO Mr Hatch was left the appoint

whose resignation was accepted with
regret by everyone, This selection may
be expected at any time now, for Mr..
Hatch will not delay the matter. as ne
knows the Importance Of having good
man for the position, and that right
now, when the road needs a head more
than ever before.
There are three men being consid-

Jackson, the Capital Of Mississippi,
Has Exempted Saloons for the
Past Fifteen Years.

Editor w. B. Hare, of that most ex-
cellent weekly newspaper, the DeSOto
County News, gives Floridians, and es-
pecially Leon Countians and Tallahas-
seeans, some straight talk and sound
truth in the following:
The vets are anxious to save the cap
ital city and the coming session of the
Legislature from the evils of blind IT,
gers, and are asking for an election on
the saloon question. The Democrat
and the Sun, true to the past, are
apparently on opposite sides. We are
sorry. Blind tigers are bad, out saloons
are worse. Jack son, the capital city of
Mississippi, with 30, 900 population, has
had no saloons for more than fifteen
years. This writer has been to Jack
son. He has also been to our capital
many times, both under the old regime
and the new. He does not believe either
the saloon or the blind tiger is neces-
sary at Tallahassee. If the local press
is unit on the enforcement of the law,
with the right man for sheriff the blind
tigers can be broken up. Witness Live
Oak, Gainesville, Lakeland and Area
dia. The press at those places, divided
on other questions, perhaps, back up
and encourage the officers, who are
sworn to enforce all laws. We llhave
a common interest in Tallahassee. The
capitol is there. The State College for
Women located there does not need any
barrOoms. AS for the Legislature, their
medical needs for the snake-bite can
and will be supplied by the representa-
tiyes of the third house" (lobbyists)
They will be there from Jacksonville,
Tampa, Pensacola, and other cities of
much wetness. They will not let any
solon lack. Brothers L'Engle and Col

AS matter of fact, Live Oak didn I

enterprise, no less than that from out

IT WAS TOO SHORT NOTICE.

"Old Uncle Jed" was so fond OF his
coppers as to have acquired the repu'
tation in Millville of being "leetle
nigh" but he was also fond of crea'
ture comforts. Somehow it taxed his
ingenuity to reconcile these conflicting
tastes.
The citizens of Millville were much
addicted to entertainments of So
cial and edible nature called "subscrip'
ton parties" and Uncle Jed was al
most invariably one OF the partici-
pants. He sacrificed his desire for
economy, however, by fasting for a
certain length of time beforehand.
On one occasion party was hastily
arranged in honor of transient guest
of the town, and Uncle Jed was in
