sadness 10 all OF the old soldiers in De-
catur county who served during the

Council A. Bryan commanded a COM
pany In the 5th Florida regiment. and
no more gallant an officer ever drew
bis sword In defense of his country. He
wes beloved by his men. and possessed
the confidence and esteem of his super
ioF officers. Every man In the brigade
knew and respected him. He was every
inch a soldier. The writer saw him
often amid the flashing Of the guns,
and his towering form was ever seen
where the danger was greatest leading
on and inspiring his men.
Captain Bryan was clerk Of the court
81 Leon county before the war, and
after his return home at its close he
was reelected 90 the same position,
which he held up to year ago, having

The BIOHham Rifles.

When our boys began TO talk of a
military organization, the first thing de-
cided upon was that the name "GOv-
ernOr's Guards" should be debarred
II brought bad luck, the company never
thrived when IL bore that name; again
and again IL went TO the wall. So they
became the 'BlOxham Rifles" Now
they will flourish. The name that is
treasured In the hearts of our people as
being synonymous with loyalty and sue
cess will inspire the boys TO build up a
clean, orderly organization that will en-
dure and be a credit 10 them and a
source of pride 10 their fellow citizens.
The True Democrat congratulates the
company upon the success they have al
ready had in gathering together 80
many good men, and also in the selec-
tiOn Of their officers.
Next week we will give list Of the
members, also Of honorary members
and subscribers.
The nOn-commissioned officers have
not yet been elected and we hope 10 be
able TO give their names with the full

roads are necessary to get real SER

these horses ought to be much inter-

4 MoIlycoddle Newspapers.

The New York World deplores
the fact that Philadelphia newsna-
pers suppressed the news of the SEN
sational arrest and suicide OF Bene-
dict Gimbel, the prominent Phila-
delphia merchant because he was
wealthy and influential.
The newspapers Of Philadelphia
have not printed one line of the
facts, says the World. In addition
to their own offense, they appeal to
the newspapers of New York to sup
press the news. Two did so Friday
but made amends Saturday, one by
publishing the news on its first page
and the other by printing half
column on an inside page
Not content with the suppression
of the news by the local papers, the
newly appointed Director of Public
Safety of Philadelphia, apparently
believing the public safety" to be
menaced, sought to prevent the sale
of New York newspapers in Phila-
delphia by issuing orders that news
boys were not to cry aloud the con-
tents Of the papers they were selling
and by having policemen order them
TO move on
New York newspapers have their
faults, but uniting to suppress
legitimate news in regard TO the ar
rest of any man merely because he is
rich is not one of them. Refusing
to print news that might corrupt
public morals can always be justi-
Aed, but no such motive actuated
the Philadelphia newspapers. They
We're not concerned about public
morals, but solely about the fact
that the man under arrest was
wealthy and influential.
This is not a new policy for the so
called newspapers of Philadelphia to
pursue. The same thing was done,
also with the assistance of a public
official, when Frank K. Nipple. presi-
dent of the Real Estate Trust Com
pany Of Philadelphia, committed sui
eide last year. Is it astonishing that
the newspapers which the public can
not trust to print the news without
favor should have so little power for
public good in city Corrupt and
coatented?"
II is interesting to note that even
the combined efforts Of the Philadel-
phia newspapers to suppress the
news about Benedict Gimbel were as
naught. The people Of Philadelphia
got the news even though some OF
them ad TO wait little while for 1t.
But news will out. Sometimes peo-
pie ATTEMPT to withhold news from
the newspapers In the belief that It
VIII he kept from the general pub
lie II the happening he news Of any
Importance, however, the people will
get it and they will usually get it
through the medium OF newspaper.
There may be some mollycoddle
newspapers here and there and in
some communities hut there are still
quite number of them that publish
me, news without fear, favor or par
uaiitE They are the ones that are
