Judge Stewart. a prominent ciu-
gen of DeLand has frequently been
mentioned as a possible candidate
for Governor. and is speaking upon
the subject of his candidacy, MS
home paper, the DeLand Record
SAYS: There is some talk ana
newspaper comment about Judge
S-ewart's cand;dacy for Governor IL
is 2 fact that the friends OF Judge
Stewart of Volusia county, without
regard TO faction, are urging him TO
become a candidate, and if he should
run he will have substantially the
solid Democratic vote of VoluSia
county, and should he enter the race
he would furnish a live and ener-
getic campaign, and if elected would
make the people of Florida an honest
fair and impartial chief executive.
during whose administration there
would be no talk of graft. or an
abuse by the people of his State.
Judge Stewart has been Judge of the
Criminal Court of Record Of this
county for the past sixteen years,
and always holds that public Office
is a public trust. and should be hon
estly administered. If elected to the
Governorship he would certainly see
that the State government would be
administered in the manner and
form as provided by law, and that
taxation was limited to the needs
of the government and all depart
ments fairly, honestly and econom-
ically administered Should he be
candidate he will find the best ele-
ment of his country. regardless of
politics rallying to his support. Many
less probable things have happened
in the past than Judge Stewart
should be Florida's next governor.
He is a born fighter, loyal to his
friends. true to. every trnst reposed
in him. and has never been defeated
for Office when once a candidate"

PAYS To ADVERTISE.

The Macon. tGa1 Telegraph, one
of the best newspapers published in:
that state. in speaking of the i'm
portance of advertising SAYS:
Macon is gaining in commercial
Importance and the merchants are
developing rapidly in the art of ad-
vertising. They are learning rapidly
the value OF this most useful adjunct
of modern business. The commercial
house that does not use printers ink
literally cannot hope to succeed as
against a competitor who knows how
TO use newspaper space and does so.
AN intelligent person can figure
out the value of advertising by the
evidence of the best business men in
the country. who spend millions an
nually for advertising in the daily
newspaper periodicals. These wise
men are quick to grasp every facility
for trade extension and put more
money in advertising that any en-
ployee on the payrolis- The principle
on which the highly successful mer-
chants work is to spend four per
cent of the gross sales on advertis-
ing.
by actual experience they know
that this is the very best investment
they can make. 1t is a medium
drought which the public learns a
place to do business, its the avenue
through which a merchant or manu-
faeturers makes friends of traders.

GOOD ADVICE.

The Democrat hopes every colored
man in Florida will read the follow
ing extract from a speech made by
Booker Washington, at Salisbury.
n c., a few days ago. What he says
is timely and should be needed by
the people of his race. He said, in
part:
Il believe that while the world
may pity crying, whining race,
it seldom respects it. Let eonstrue-
tive progress be the dominant note
among US in every section of Amer
lea Let US not make the mistake
of keeping back the dark and dis
appointing side Of life before the
youth of our race. Just now what
the race wants is not a vision of
despair, but vision of triumph, not
a picture of oppression, but an inspi-
ration to overcome difficulties. The
race is not losing friends in Amer
lea, nor will it do so. as long IS We
continue TO prove ourselves worthy
We must frankly face the fact that
the great body of our people are
TO dwell in the south and any policy
that does not seek to harmonic the
two races and cement them is I'M
wise, and dangerous The negro, the
Irishman. the Jew. the German, the
Italian, residing in the north and
west, put forth every effort to cult
their neighbors, and the negro in the
south should pursue the same policy
The Indiscriminate condemnation
OF all white people on the part of any
member of our race is a suicidal
and dangerous policy. We must
learn TO discriminate. We have
strong friends both in the south and
the north, and We should emphasize
and magnify the efforts of our
friends more than that of those who
wish US evil.
We are making tremendous pro-
greSS materially, educationally,
morally and religiously. We own to-
day, mainly in the south. an acreage
that is equal TO the combined acreage
of the Kingdoms of Belgium and Hol-
land Don't be afraid to face diff
culties. For myself, l would not
care to live in an age where there
was no weak portion of the human
race to be helped and lifted up. l
would not care to live in an age when
there was no serious, hard and per-
picking problems to be met and
solved"

Take the Macon merchants. The
ones who advertise are the ones who
do the business. Personal popular

ice in business. People have learned
to look for bargains and to go to

their promise with the goods

made a statement that the Bowness
grove was to be cleared away and used
for other purposes than for public
gatherings. This statement we are
glad to say is not correct as Mr.. Bow
ness instead of cutting out the timber
is going to clean up the grove and
make it more desirable than ever for
public gatherings. He is thinking of
erecting a permanent platform and
other improvements which will make it
a most desirable meeting place. This
grove is centrally located for the peo-
pie of the valley and is naturally a very
nice place for gatherings and when the
improvements contemplated are added
the valley will not be without public

death of E. S. Armstrong, the well
known bee man, who died at his home
one mile west of Olathe last Friday
morning. Heart trouble is said to be
the direct cause of his death. The body
was discovered early Friday morning
by A. N. Miles, a near neighbor of the
deceased. He was dressed in his night
clothes and postmortem examination
showed him to have been dead only q
few hours.
Mrs. w. O. Hersum of Olathe is the
foster daughter of the deceased. He
has no other relatives here. Mrs. Her
sum was greatly shocked when she
heard the news but said she was not
surprised as he was subject to spells
with his heart.
Mr.. Armstrong was unique charac-
ter widely known on the Western slope.
considering the short time he had re-
sided here. He was well liked and
highly respected by all who knew him.
