In the heat of the game OF politics,
even, it seems that a woman will play
her part. In the First ward there are
FIVE young ladies who comprise the only
campaign committee of which John Burke
can boast These young ladies are doing
some active eanvassing among their ac-
quaintances for the veteran police off
Ger who is a candidate for alderman, and
they promise that he will be elected. NJ,
W. Parson in the same ward says he is
not given to Boosting, but that he Is
sure of rs votes, and he believes the man
who gets 70 votes will be elected.
There will be a meeting tonight in the
First National Bank building of a num-
Der of Mayor Wards friends. These
friends Will state their Impressions their
condolences, their fears If there are any,
and Will discuss means to further adj

So far there has been no campaign
speeehmakIng, and it is probable that
there will never be in the present muni-
eipal campaign.
An interesting wager was made yester
day to the effect that the Third ward
would give Mayor Ward a larger major
ity than any other of the city. The Ward
partisan who made the bet believes that
Mayor Ward will poll 800 votes in that
ward which will mean a splendid major

that the Fourth ward would give Mayor

1T COSTS MONEY To RUN.

Col. Bob Rogers, of Marion county,
who has been mentioned several
times as a good man for Governor,
had something to say on the subject
the other day in the Ocala Star. He
said in the first place that he was not
going to be a candidate if he was let
alone or could consistently get out
of it, but he would admit that GER
tain things might come to pass that
would induce him to make the race
although he had no present inten-
ton of doing so. This seems to leave
him in a mixed state of mind on the
subject from which the progress of
events will probably rescue him in due
season. But the Colonel said some
thing in conclusion which showed
him to be a man of stalwart common
sense and shrewd and canny judg-
ment suggestive of excellent timber
for a large executive trust He told
the Star that by attending strictly to
business he had laid up a few thou-
sand dollars for his old age and he
was mighty sure that he was not go
ing to spend that money in a political
campaign. That is the very essence
of sound worldly wisdom, but we fear
that it excludes Colonel Rogers from
the list of availables and he might
as well drop the subject We live in
a sordid and mercenary age, and the
noble spectacle of the people rushing

ed among the voters urging them to
vote the dry ticket and supplying
voters with badges and tickets. In
this way quite a good many votes
were captured for the dry side. This
programme is said to have been car
ried out at every precinct in the
county.
The prohis also served ice tea, lem
onade, hot coffee and sandwiches, etc.
The total vote in the county was
1896 for prohibition and 437 for
anti-prohibition. Every precinct in

Valdosta, Ga, June 24.-One of
the most remarkable prohibitionist
elections ever held in Georgia ended
here this evening with an oyerwhelm-
ing victory for the prohibitionists.
The prohibitionists had the best
organization ever known in the coun-
try, the main strength being the wo-
me auxiliaries in every district. The
prohis outgeneraled their opponents
at every turn, the ants being unable
to get strong organization of the
business men.
The prohis held rallies everywhere
yesterday, and after the big meeting
at the Opera House a committee of
over 100 was sent to trains to meet
bands from Fitzgerald and Savannah
and persuade them to return home.
The prohis paid their expenses and
gave them good sum and told them
that the bands were not needed.
They also visited several negro work
ers and informed them that it was to
be white folks election. The eonse-
quence was the negroes did not vote
to any great extent, the prohis pro-
baby getting majority of those who
yentured to the polls

4 O'Clock this morning and marched

Congressman Lamar is talking ON
the tobacco industry in his speeches
In MS district, and as this new inter
est has already spread from Quincy
as lar east as Madison and there is no
reason why it should stop at the Su-
Sannee river, some facts given BY
Mr. Lamar will be interesting to our
readers:
There are about 5000 acres of
land planted in tobacco in Gadsden
county said Congressman Lamar,
and most of it is under shade. The
tobacco planted in the open selfssfor
from 20 to 80 cents a pound, while
tnat grown under the shade brings
from % to so cents The cost of
erecting shade barns, as they are
known, and buying all material to
raise shade tobacco is estimated at
from $500 to $1,000 An acre. A good
medium yield of shade tobacco is
I'ooo pounds to the acre, so one can
readily see how profitable forty acres
III snaoe tobacco would be-. yielding
as 1t will. from 1000 to $40. 900 per

acres of shade tobacco in Gadsden
county crop was taken that sold
Tor $4,000. AS an illustration of
the prosperity of a tobacco growing
county, continued General Lamar
II Is only necessary to state that the
quincy State Bank carries from
100000 to $1,000, 200 deposits. and
the Quincy National Bank carries
from 100000 to $500 900. Every.
one has bank account, and the
farmers are amongst the most liber-
al depositors. During the past ten
years, land has advanced in yaIue

that might have resulted seriously to

stubborn, broke from the herd that was
being driven up Shipley street at the
usual time. and making their way TO
Market street, caused a horse to bolt.
Little Helen Wilson\was in the wagon
behind the horse and was thrown head
long into the street by the unexpected
halting Of the horse. Although the
child was bruised considerably about
the head she escaped internal injuries.
