A dispatch sent out from San An
tonic, Texas. Tuesday, reports Mr..
Bryan as saying IF the party so de-
mands it, and conditions arise to war
rant it, 1 may be a candidate for the
presidency four years hence" 1t may
well be doubted ifMr. Bryan used
these words, for he has his sense of
humor and sometimes he throws a
sop to tAe Cerberus of the insatiate
press. But even if he did use the
language attributed to him he said
nothing more than John Smith or any
other good American citizens might
have very properly said under the
same circumstances. We, ourself
would not hesitate to be candidate
for the presidency under such highly
favorable circumstances.

Gadsden County All Right.

The late business depression, which,
happily, is now fast disappearing, has
left no scars of serious or permanent
injury on Quincy. While the low price
of tobacco mas of course temporarily
tied up many thousands of dollars,
this money sooner or later must be re-
leased, and when it does find its way
back into the channels of trade though
the volume may not be as great as in
more prosperous years, its power will
be increased because the depression
has taught US lessons OF economy and
prudence. Besides all this it will
have demonstrated that GadSden coun-
ty, the pioneer home of Sumatra to-
bacco, can weather storm of this
kind and come out smiling and ready
for another crop. Then again it will
have taught us to take care of the
good name which the superior grade
of our tobacco has earned for us in
the markets of the world. So, taken
altogether, we shall emerge from the
panic with many credits to be placed
over against our lesses.-Gadsden
County Times.

A touch of nature makes the whole
world kin. John D. Rockefeller be-
trayed SYMPTOMS of irritation the other
day because there was some little de-
lay in paying him his dollar and a
half witness fee in a case in New
York. How comforting to think that
John D., with Standard Oil and a
thousand million dollars back of aim,
is after all one of us and can make
himself sociable with the breawinners
in this good, old fashioned way! John
D. Rockefeller kicking for a witness
fee is a subject for an epic poem or

be embalmed in everlasting verse and
eternal marble in that noble attitude.

held nine sessions OF Farmers 1nSti-
tuTtes. and these in counties where no
institutes have been held before. At
Apalachicola q special excursion train
was run to bring in the farmers from
the outlying districts. The attendance
here, as at all the other places, was
large. There is a lively interest in
agricultural matters in that section,
and the farmers show a strong desire
to profit by the results of all scientific
work. A marked progress towards
better farming methods can be OBJ
served; less attention is being paid
to crops that must be shipped, and
much more to the raising of more
stock and home produce. In this way
the farmers are making themselves
more and more Independent OF dis
tant markets.
At Blountstown the children from
the higher classes of the public school
attended all the lectures, another
proof OF the interest in these counties
for agricultural progress.
At Bristol an exhibition of work
done in the public schools was held
in connection with the institute. The
interest of both teachers and pupils
in this work was evident, and the ex-
hibition would have been cFeditable
even 10 a much more populous center.
1t is to be noted that at Apalachi
cola a leading part in the institute
was taken by the Board of Trade.
This shows commendable foresight
for they understand that by develop
ing the agricultural interests you de-
velop your city.-Gainesville Sun.
