The Tampa Times says:
The local candidate-manutact
concerns have been very busy with
the names of prominent people WITHIN
the last few days, since 1t was an
npunced that Hon. T. A. Jennings
would not make the race for governor
The local prognosticatOrs have
been attending to various names,
among them Hon. A. j. Knight, one
of the best known gentlemen or TAM
pa or Florida, whom every one de-
clares is we'll qualified to make the
state one of the best governors 1t
has ever had. He is business man
of great ability, keen student OF
political economics and always alive
to the interests of the people in pub
lie affairs. He has never sought Of
fee, and what official hOnors that
have rested upon him have been
thrust there by the people. Many of
his admirers declare that if south
Florida is going to furnish the next
governor of the state it could do itself
no more honor and credit than to
take from the walks of private life
Hon. A ]. knight and make him gov
ernor of the state. He is man OF
gubernatorial size.
Much local talk has been heard re-
Gently concerning the entrance OF
Hon. John n. G. Stockton of Jackson
vile into the race, and he has many
admirers in Tampa who believe he is
the strongest man in the public eye
at the present time, although none of
his friends in this city seem to know
what his attitAte is on this matter.
There are others who, with know
ing lock, declare that if you want to
pick an easy winner for the next race
for the governorship, just take look
toward Tallahassee and let your gaze
fall upon the state treasurer, Hon.
w. V. Knott. He is declared to be
the most personally popular man in
the state, and one whom the people
would delight to honor with a higher
office Since his entrance into state
affairs he has steadily gone upward
and onward, and has made a good and
efficient officer wherever the people
have put him-as careful and pains
taking in small Office as in a big
one.
Tampa people who occasionally get
their fingers upon the states political
pulse, aver that Will Knott is the
man who is going to direct the af-
fairs of the state as the next COVER
nor, although it is not known what he
thinks about it.
And he is almost Tampa man
has lived here and numbers his
friends here only by the limit of his
personal acquaintance.

Necessity of
Prompt Action.

The announcement made yesterday
Of the dangerous condition of some
Of the electric wires of the city has
caused considerable concern among
the residents of the district concerned.
An electrician employed in repairing
wires in the southern part of the city
recently noticed several places on the
city wires, which were bare of insu-
lation and which might at any time
cause great danger to property and
human life.
In all power theTeis danger, as-wen
as usefulness" said the electrician,
in speaking of the matter, and cleo
friclty is not an exception to the gen
eral rule
! In the handling of electric wires.
Bthere are rules thatsshouId always be
observed, and some Of them are these:
Never handle a wire with the naked
thand, but always use a nou,conduct-
dng substance as a protector Rubber,
porcelain, glass, wool. cotton and silk
idn goedly thickness are safeguards
against danger.
ELECTRICITY has become of late
years an indispensable utility, but it
must be handled with precision and
with abundant caution

New York, Aug. 20.-General Ma
ager R. V. Taylor, of the Mobile and
Ohio Railroad, was the first witness
today in the taking of TESTIMONY Ia
fore Special Master Montgomery in
the North Carolina rate case
He said the cost of earning a dol.
lar on state, or local, business of
railroad was fifteen to twenty cents
more than other business.
When asked to give items Of in.
creased cost of operating railroads
he said labor and material were much
higher the last nine months. adding
much to the cost of Transportation.
No railroad system, he said. had
figures On the cost per ton per mile
of interstate freight, but he might
prepare a statement of the SOutherns
freight business.
He indignantly denied that the
Southern maintEins a fund for lob.

up.

Let Us Make Sure of
Regulation.

The fact that a prohibition cam
paign is on and that the saloons VIII
either be voted out or voted in on
Oct. l, next, should not deter the city
council from going ahead with its
regulatiye measures just the same as
though no election were to be held.
There may be a division of public
sentiment on the wet and dry ques-
tion, but there is no division on the
regulation question If the county
goes dry, nothing viii be lost by the
provision for regulation: If it goes
wet, a great deal will be gained by
that provision.
The regulation ordinance should
provide among other things for early
closing, not later than 9 p m; a
restricted district. rot larger than the
fire limits: and a higher city license,
anywhere from $500 to $1,000.
These provisions should be made
regardless of the fact that a prohi-
5ition campaign is going on, and The
Journal directs attention TO them in
order that they be not lost sight of in
the greater issue which the campaign
presents. Prohibition is undoubtedly
desirable, but in the event that pro-
hib!tion is not obtsined, then regula-
ton is imperative. The council should
not forget it.

Significant of the good work done

that a case or two of yellow fever
there now occasions as much sur
prise as it would in Duluth or Seat

some time in January, 1900, and since
then there have been only occasional
sporadic cases of the fever, so that
the resident of the Queen of the

in the island. With the modern hos
pital practice now in vogue in Cuba
there would seem to be little danger
of the spread of the dread disease.
and Cuba will no doubt soon again
merit the appellation of the "healthiest
place in America" which a CORE
sPondent called it some time ago.

Predicts Prohibition.

The Wholesale whiskey houses OF
Savannah, Atlanta, Augusta, Macon
and Columbus caused a prohibition
law to be enacted in Georgia by their
constant and persistent efforts to get
the drug trade of the dry counties OF
that state. The people get tired of
it, after having driven the saloons
from their counties. Such methods
as this by the whiskey houses of
this state will help to make Florida
a prohibition state You viii see the
next legislature passing a resolution
submit ttdng an amendment to the con-
stitution to the people to be voted
on giving the legislature the power
to make Florida a prohibition state.
Our constitution must be changed, re-
pealing the local option law, before
any prohibition law can be passed.

Three years ago a little band OF
Arcadia prohibitionists started the
agitation for a constitutional amend
ment They sent petitions out all
over the state and when the legisla-
ture met these petitions were present
ed to that body signed by thousands
of voters.
A bill calling for a vote on a con-
stitutional amendment was defeated
in the legislature, but the temperance
people were not beaten so badly but
they tried again this year. Again the
measure was defeated, but it had
more friends this time than before
and next time we believe it will carry
by the necessary two-thirds vote.
We wait with impatience the slow
process of reaching prohibition for an
other session of the legislature must
come before We can try again.
In the meantime our large cities
are to receive the breweries and dis
tilleries driven out of Georgia The
owners are worth their hundreds OF
thousands If they locate in Florida
their money will be spent freely TO
help defeat the proposed constitution
al amendment which will allow the
matter of state prohibition to be voted
for by the people
The whiskey money will be taken
from the people and spent to defeat
temperance legislation. 1t is not a
cheerful thought and we are hopeful
that Governor Broward will do what
it is rumored that he intends, to call
special session of the legislature to
pass the necessary constitutional
amendment.
The whiskey factories will not be
driven out of Georgia until January
Let us be up and doing that We may
keep them from our fair state. We
do not want our finances built up at
the expense of our boys. The battle
is on. To the rescue, temperance
hosts!-Arcadia Champion.

An Object Lesson.
Over in Pensacola the temperance
people are endeaVoring to secure suf-
ficient signatures, to petition for
wet or dry election. The saloon
men have begun to realize that they
must obey the law and correct the
abuses that have grown up or be put
out Of business altogether. They
have accordingly gotten together and
have practically agreed to early clos
ing during the week, absolute closing
on Sunday and restriction of saloons
to certain section of the city. This
move is made with a view to defeat
ing the plan to make Pensacola a dry
town. Whether the saloon men Will
be able to save their business by
their decision to meet public senti-
ment half way remains to be seen,
but if they had obeyed the law before
the indignation against them became
so strong they might have pursued
their business unmolested- If this
should prove an object lesson to the
saloon men Of Key West, they may
profit by N.-Key West Citizen.
