The season is al- most come, and it's harbngers have filled the air with gossip.
 After a casual glance over the entire circuit it is seen that hope, confidence and good cheer fill every camp. Birming- ham is cranng its neck, and showing wherein it Is just as strong as last sea- son, when the flag was won. New Or leans shows where Frank has signed thir- ty men, and boasting that the rag will fly over the Crescent City next season.

Johnny Dobbs has assumed active charge of tho regenerated Nashville outfit. and promises the wild eyed fanatics of that burg, victory out of defeat. and a glorious sun out of the many clouds that enshroud that little

In his speech at DeFuaiak the
other day, Hon Jefferson
Browne, candidate for governor
hit mighty near true when ne
said, s'there are some who want
ali the offices; who think there
are too many peoples men IN
politics. and they want to get
them out Of their way. They
think there are too many on the
peoples side for the number OF
Offices and try to drive from the
ranks Of the people those who
dare 10 aspire for an Office they
want. They want the voters to
be peoples men" but they
want no peoples men" as can
didates but themse Ives" just
consider the political lineup as
it stands at present and you will
be obliged to admit that the
honorable Jefferson B. is pretty
near correct. If the people
would adopt the suggestion OF
the New Enterprise and posi-
lively refuse to listen to. the
siren songs of candidates OF
either of the existing factions,
dig out from the ranks of the
people men of ability, truth,
courage and honesty-and they
may be found in plentiful num-
ber-and elect them to the OF
fees to be filled we feel safe in
saving that the State would re-
ceive a benefit of which It
might be proud for the balance
of time. In our opinion. what
is needed more than anything
else in Florida Is a complete
revolution Of the political wheel
and clean sweep of every
factional politician now holding

Editor WILLIAMS NEWS:
 Do you know that at least four of the present members of the city council do not contribute one penny to the support of the town either in license or taxes?
 Do you know that a large part of the funds that are expended by the city council for the purpose of lighting the streets is wrung from the fallen women of the town, without any warrant of law?
 Do you know that A. II. Harrell started to erect twelve room brick and stone building, which would have been an ornament to the town, and that the city council refused to allow him to erect shed on the premises to cover the material needed in constructing the building?
 Do you know that there is an ordinance on record prohibiting cattle running at large? Do you know it is not enforced?
 Do you know that the city coun- cil has frequently refused to allow persons who desired to conduct photograph galleries or other call 'ngs, for which the city exacts a license, to erect tents for that purpose?
 Do you know that the city owns large building that would accom- modate the meetings of the city council and leave room for few of the taxpayers also to attend, and that the city pays ground rent of S5 per month for the land upon which this building stands, and that the city council meets in a little back room behind a second hand store?
 Do you know that the prime object of incorporation was for the purpose of fire protection?
 Do you know that the much abused saloon keeper pays three fourths of all the money that is expended by the city council, and that there is no tax on real or personal property in the town?
