Col. Robertson May Be a Candidate

WI AeODCIoOn May DC u OdnOl0ate.
Since rumOr has it that our towns
man, Col. l.. E. Robertson, will be a
candidate for representative from
SuWannee county in the next Legisla-
ture, the Democrat has this from
him N regard to the truth of the
rumOr, and as to the announcement
of his candidacy:
1t is true that goodly number of
the most respectable citizens, coming
from all localities of Suwannee
county have signifed their desire for
me to be candidate and have offer
ed me their support. Those who have
spoken to me with reference to it.,
have assuered me that they believe
that if am a candidate. l will be
successful at the polls, and while l
would not be a candidate without be-
ing reasonably certain that | would
win, yet although so assured, |
would not enter upon a campaign for
any Office whatever, in which there
are to be charges of elimination and
recrimination, "mud-slinging," etc,
neither would | undertake the de-
bauchery Of voters with the use of
money or viii key, such as sometimes
characterize primary campaigns.
If, after a ca. eful looking over of
the situation, it appears to me that
there will be a campaign upon a high
plan, each candidate standing upon
his own merits, and the voters are to
be left to cast their ballots with the
best interest of the County as their
guide, and that | can be of service
to my fellow citizens as a legislator,
and am reasonably sure of election
by high toned and honorable meth
DDS, it is probable that | will be such
candidate; on the contrary, if there
is to be an unseemingly scramble in
the primary. l am not to be consider
ed as in the race, and even if |
should enter il. and it should after
wards develop into 'mud-Slinging
scramble, | would then withdraw. |
will add that | do not believe there
will be such a campaign as this, but
make mention of it because these
methods have obtained at some times
and In some localities. II the people
desire my services in the capacity OF
a representative. and signify such de-
sire, it will give me pleasure to serve
them.

How Diphtheria Is Contracted.

One often hears the expression,
My child caught a severe cold which
developed into diphtheria," when tie
truth was that the cold had simply
left the little one particularly sus-
ceDtible to the wandering diphtheria
germ. When Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is given ii quickly cures the
cold and lessons the danger of diph-
iberia or any other germ disease be-

NEGRO KILLED CADET.
Was Drunk and Shot Without Pro.
vOcatiOn-Captured and In Jail.


Baton Rouge, La, Dec. 22.-Ro-
bert Wesson, negro of West Fell
ciana parish, was brought to Baton
Rouge today and placed in the state
penitentiary for safe keeping, charged
with shooting up a passenger train
on the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley
Railroad.
AS result of NELSON'S wild ram
page, Adonis X. Wridert, a young Ca
Diet at the Louisiana State University,
is dead at his home at Bayou Sara,
La, and the coaches Of the train also
bear witness to the reckless shooting
of the negro.
The shooting occurred during the
night. Wesson, who says he was
drinking at the time and did not
know what he was doing, got of of
the train at PoWells Station, about
five miles from Bayou Sara. Draw
ing heavy caliber revolver, he be-
gan to fire into the train. One of
the bullets crashed through a win
dow and wounded young Wrildert
in the neck. He died shortly after
the train arrived at Bayou Sara. He
was the son of Alderman Wridert of
Bayou Sara and was on his way home
for the Christmas holidays.
A posse which started in search of
Wesson had little difficulty in arrest
ing him. Owing to the danger of his
being lynched, he was brought here
by the officers.
