Ons llllllsn RsopIs For FlorIaa.


Leon county badly needs her share OF
them, and we hope some inducement
win be put on foot 20 bring them here.
Read the following from the Times
Union:
lone million people in Florida. One
hundred thousand inhabitants in Jack
sonvilIe.
''Mr. William 7. Blaine, who has re-
turned from q two weeks trip 70 q
number Of cities in the southern portion
Of the State, says one does not have to
look very far into the future TO see the
full realization of this prophecy.
This is the rallying cry, so to speak,
of the plan Mr. Blaine is so Industrious
" promoting Of having the "Florida
Section" printed in the Sunday news
papers Of the middle west belt section
Of the country.
This Sunday supplement, as has been
described in this paper, will be a graphic
description of the State and her resOur-
ces and will be prOfusely illustrated.
This will be sent out as part of the
Sunday issue of the papers interested
in the plan.
Mr.. Blaine says the plan Of thus plac-
ing the advantages before 5000, 900
readers has been met with strong APP
prevail and support by the people in the
places he has visited.
cit is a plain fact" said Mr.. Blaine,
recognized by all the business and pro-
fessional men of the State, everywhere
that the thing Florida needs is perma-
nent citizenship and immigration to
build homes and engage in commercial
enterprises and professions and devel-
opment of the material interests Of the
State and cultivation of the soil. With
the general conditions of the country
north, between Boston, New York and
Chicago, and the splendid presentation
that this Florida Section will give this
State to this grand number Of readers
and the immediate and permanent pros
poets for the States increased tourist
travel and building up of permanent
population of the State, is bright.
"'There can be no doubt If the condi-
tons and advantages Of Florida for the
entire twelve months Of the year are
PROF erly known and the opportunities of
making money in a great variety of
ways are fully understood North, Flori-
ida's future in rapidly growing increase
in population and wealth is assured.
The action Of the board Of trade in Ia
king hold of this careful and well ar
ranged plan in a prompt and practical
way is bound to bring splendid and prof.
table returns to Jacksonville, Duval
county and the entire State"
"mr. Blaine reports that the other
cities and sections of the State that he
has visited appreciate Jaeksouville's de-
sire and effort to build up the general
material interests and permanent citi-
zenship Of the State, and Jacksonville
is given everywhere full credit for the
position it has taken to this end. He
believes with the large number Of splen-
did towns and vast acreage of tillable
soil, as well as many material interests,
Florida should quicklJ have a popula-
ton Of over 100000 and Jacksonville
of over 100, 0O0

Last Sunday, August 9th, about q
Spaniards arrived in Quincy direct from
the old country to work in the packing
house OF Kline Bros. & Co., as selecters
Of tobacco. These men are long expe-
rienced in the tobacco business and
know the many tricks Of the trade"
that Americans have so long been learn
ing, having been engaged in the manu-
facture of tobacco all Of their lives.
When seen by Times reporter Mon
day afternoon the men seemed we'll
pleased with their location and were
giving their employers perfect satisfac-
ton.
This move on the part of Kline Bros.
will no doubt solve the perplexing labor
question in this section, If the men inn
ported continue to be satisfied with the
climate and surroundings here, as they
are a reliable class Of laborers and
make desirable citizens for any coun.
try. Gadsden County Times.

GREAT SHANE ON
STATE OF FLORIDA
Tns CIalm % AbsOIuts Jusl One.

Ex-Chief Justice George P. Raney,
was a recent visitor to Jacksonville and
while there talked to a representative Of
the Metropolis about the ultimate pay
ment of the Wales claim.
Judge Raney spoke as follows:
81 do not think there is any doubt
whatever but that the claim of Colonel
Sidney |. Wales against the State of
Florida will be paid, and am pleased at
the fact that the Metropolis has recent
" spoken strongly in favor of its pay
ment. The claim is an absolutely just
one, and do not think Florida can af-
ford to continue further in refusing to
pay Colonel WALES for his great work,
which resulted in Florida securing an
immense amount Of money that would
have been lost but for his persistent
efforts"
A great many people of Florida, who
are familiar with this claim are in en-
tire sympathy and agreement with
Judge Raney in his statement Of the
case.
The late General Robert Bullock of
this city, who perhaps was more famil-
lar with the case than any one else,
was persistent in the statement that 1t
was a Just claim and in its settlement,
according to the stipulations made in
the contract with Colonel Wales. the
States integrity was at stake. -Ocala
Banner, 14th.
The Havana News, August 18th, has
the following:
Frank L. Huffaker has an article in
the Jacksonville Metropolis under date
of July 25th in which he writes of Col.
Sidney l. Wales and his claim against
the State yet UNI aid Col. Wales is
growing old and if Florida would
straighten her score with him it will
have to be done soon or not at all. Mr..
Huffaker says:
1T is but few years at best before
the Grim Reaper will swing his merci-
less scythe and the emaciated and worn
form of Sidney l. Wales will be among
the human reeds garnered by the Har-
vester. A white tombstone will shine
in the Florida moonlight, standing, as
believe, as a monument to Florida's in
gratitude and the winds that whisper to
the flowers and pass over his humble
grave will sing a requiem, the title Of
which will be "lngraJitude.

Caught.

A member OF the Pittsburg Con-
ference tells an interesting little
story on one of his own boys. The
incident happened when the lad was
quite young, but after he had learned
to pray. He had some trouble one
day with his older brother. They
came to their father with the matter
as he sat at work in his study. The
merits of the case were examined
into by the father, and when he was
through 1t was clear that the younger
boy was entirely in the fault.
The youngster also keenly realized
that fact. After giving the boy a
kindly admonition, the father turned
again to his book. Presently he
heard the little fellow over in the
corner of the room praying. Among
the petitions which reached the
fathers ear was this one: 20 Good
Man, do help me, for I'm caught.
It's the old story of the child
being father to the man." There is
a supposition current that there are
some praying folks in the world who
really don't work much at the bust
ness except when they get about
where the preachers boy was. His
case had this merit in it, that he
frankly confessed his unpleasant posi-
ton; acknowledged that he was
Caught" The full-grown man who
pleads for help on the same ground
usually shuns confession OF his mo-
tive as long as possible.-Pittsburg

Grateful Hen.

Chicken fanciers and agriculturists
here about are puzzled over remarkable
egg-laying hen living under the guard
ianship of Jacob Geier The hen strayed
from her roost and wandered into Geier's
back yard several weeks ago. When
Geier opened his kitchen door the hen
tapped her wings, flew on the porch and
in at the open door past Geier.
''That chick must be durn hurry; I'll
feed her up good and strong, b'gum, :"
said Geier to wife
He made good his word by preparing
a ration of milk and bread, which the hen
devoured ravenously. Cackling her
: thanks, she departed to the back yard.
About an hour later the hen was
discovered sitting comfortably on a set
tee on the porch When the fire whistle
footed the noon hour the hen exuded a
joyous series of cackles. When Geier
arrived on the,scene he beheld fresh
laid egg and the hen strutting proudly
around the yard.
Since then the hen has laid an egg
every day, with three exceptions Geier
says she has sense of gratitude, which
she displays in payment for the meal
rendered in the time of her tribulations.
