Should the improbable happen
by MIR. Stockton becoming Gov
ernor, he can be relied on to veto
any bill for the division of DeSoto
county, because his supporters in
this county are almost all anti
divisionists, and they could easily
prevail upon him TO prevent di-
vision by showing him that the
divisionists opposed him. On the
other hand, if a division bill is
passed, Governor Gilchrist will
approve of it.

Rather than make bitter par
tisan and factionalist governor of
Florida, every truly patriotic citi-
zen should be willing to postpone
State prohibition for a few years.
Mr.. Stockton's Tallahassee organ
has admitted the notorious fact
that he is bitter partisan and the
leader of faction, a fact which
cries aloud against his being put
into the high Office Of governor.

Every citizen who earnestly de-
sires lower taxes and is willing to
do something to secure them,
should vote for Barwick and Bate
man. In this section, we are
suffering more from high taxes
than from whiskey, and the only
chance of getting them educed is
to elect Barwick and Bateman.

1t is pretty safe to claim, we
think, that every one who intends
voting for Gov. Broward next
Tuesday will also vote for Mr..
Stockton. Their act means the
giving of all the highest offices to
Jacksonville, but, worse than this
and calamitous to the State, il
means the perpetuation of the
Broward-Barrs- Stockton political
combine and the endorsement Of
fractional rule in Florida.

If Mr.. Stockton should by any
accident or mistake become gov
ernor of Florida, his prohibition
supporters may demand of him
to urge the legislature to pass a
special law prohibiting the sale of
whiskey in Lee county, or at
any rate, prohibiting liquor from
being shipped into DeSoto from
Lee county. You see, If Lee
votes for Stockton, who is for
State prohibition, the vote can be
interpreted to mean that the
people of Lee want a "dry"
county.

audacity to claim that he would
carry DeSOto county. If their
claims AZ to other counties are no
better founded, then Mr. Stockton
will he. worse beaten than Mr..
Mays was four years ago. This
policy of claiming everything 10
sight has been tried so often that
it can deceive no longer.
The HERALD, in It's estimates
and forecasts, has tried to lie very
conservative, as its files will show.
1t stated, for example, that De-
Soto county would cast 1900 votes
next Tuesday and that Gilchri-t
would get 1000 OF them. Since
this claim was made, gentlemen
who have been all over the county
on political errands aIlege that the
vote will reach 1900 and that
Gilchrist will get 80 per cent. of
it. This tallies with The claim of
the Wauchula Telegram, whose
editor keeps in close touch with
every thing political in this
county.
Now, there is Duval, which is
Mr.. Stockton's home county.
The best informed politicians
there admit that Gilchrist will
carry it. This, as is well known,
is one of the most popnlous coun'
ties of the State. Of the other
popllous counties, it is conceded
by oil with any pretence Of
knowledge of the conditions that
Gilchrist will carry Marlborough
and Orange.
We concede K Gambia to Mr.
Stockton, bui we do not concede
either Alachua or Marion. Up TO
last week, we believed that the
McCreary influence would carry
Alachna for Stockton. but later
and better information assures US
that that county will give u ma
jority for Gilchrist. A similar
condition prevails in Marion, and
We have the best of reasons for
believing that it will also give
Gilclrist II majority.
I here larger counties will give
Gichrisl such a vote ~ will over
come whatever maj rites Mr..
Stockton may get in the few
small ones which he will carry.
Amongst the small counties with
q vote of 1000 TO 1900 which
may he Conceded 10 Stockton, are
Lee, fernando, Baker, Hamilton,
Madison and II few in West Flori
da. But offsetting these, Gil
christ is certain of Lake, Levy,
Bradford, VolnSia, Clay, st. Johns
and some counties in West Florida
an elsewhere.
The trio Of upper west coast
counties, Levy, Taylor, and La
faette, which four years ago were
for Stockton, are now reported on
good authority as being for Gil
christ.
But perhaps the very best evi
dence we have that Gilchrst will
win is the reports of the drum
mers," the commercial tourists
who travel the State over. With
only one known exception, they,
to a man, say that the talk every
where is for GiIchrist, and, so
confident are they that he will win
that many of them have "big
money! wagered on his success.
They claim that he will carry all
of the East Coast counties, in which
we have been taught to believe
that Mr.. Stockton was particular
ly strong.

Prof. Pawlow, or Russia, was en-
gaed for many years in experimental
work, trying to learn the workings
of Digestion especially the digestive
glands.
He, with able assistants, operated
upon dogs, cats, guinea pigs and 9TH
er animals.
His methods were seemingly pain
full but he gave to science work
which won the Nobel prize and made
for him an undying fame.
Science penetrated the secrets or
nature. Prof. Pawiow saw animals
digest food. He auaiyzed juices from
every part of the digestive canal
and stomach under all conditions of
digestion He spent years of cease
less study amid the bowling and
dying beasts, but he won, and sci
ence today looks upon him as a great
man.

Quaint Wedding Customs.

Few people who marry realize the
historic significance Of the various
phases of the tender compact The
giving of wedding presents, for in
stance, is relic of the time when q
y11ng couple, upon being married
were set up in housekeeping by their
friends and neighbors, who brought
TO their new home all sorts OF house
hold utensils, sometimes even build
ing a house for them. In the Middle
Ages the betrothal was the great
thing and the marriage ceremony only
the ratification of the contract. The
bctrothal was a solemn ceremony
of the church and any one violating
IL was liable to accommodation. The
betrothal service is still preserved in
some of the French and Italian rituals
OF the Catholic church and the mar
rIage service of the Episcopal church
down to the words 81 WILL" is the old
betrothal service.
The history of the wedding ring Is
hard to trace. but our Puritan ances
tors considered it relic of heather
lsm-which very likely it is-ant
abolished Il. They would no more
have a wedding ring around than they
would have old women riding or
broomsticks and bewitching the cows
But the Puritans are dead and the
wedding ring survives out of a mys
terious rsst.
A Tecolt visitor to Ireland saw a
curious survival out of the older
times at n wedding in the western
part Of the country A party Of young
men of the "barony" disguised them
selves by blackening their faces and
tying straw about them, and so en-
tered among the wedding guests, un
