d. Richardson and Miss Zoe Carter at
the brides home, Wednesday, May
~, by Rev. w. r. Harvell, pastor Of

The home was beautifully decorated
with flowers, ferns and greens, which
added much to the grace of the occa-
sion. A large number of relatives
and friends of both bride and groom
had gathered, and the appointed hour
the wedding party marched out into
the hall to strains of Mendelssohn' s
wedding march and took the vows
that made them husband and wife,
The best wishes and congratulations
OF those present were extended to the
young couple, after which refresh
ments were served to the guests.

viable traits of character. She has
proven her good sense by the selection
Of husband to whom she will look

The following from the Picayune,
looks as if Carl Pons was hunting for
something easy:
"Carl Pons, the French wrestler,
who conducts physical culture school
in this city, is hot after Lacroix, the
strong man Of Covington, who several
nights ago defeated Lewis on the mat
in the st. Tammany parish seat. La
croix's manager says that the young
man is wonder, who can throw a
beef, horse, or anything else of the
bovine and equine kind, and pons de-
clares that it is his ambition to take
the measure of such later-day Goliaths.
Pons means business, and so anxious
is he to try it one with the Coyington
wonder that he agrees to throw La
croix three times in an hour, for any
purse the Covington club might offer
and a side bet. Pons has hackers,
and he stated last night that if La
croix has hackers all the money they
could cover was waiting for them"
Pons should remember that Lacroix
does not pretend to be anything but
an inexperienced amateur, and while
Covington is proud of his achieve
ments so far, we think too much OF
HIM to have him discouraged by meet
ing professional in Bons' class. La
croix only weigh 176 pounds, but there
is no telling what he may accomplish
after he has gained more experience,
and it might happen at some future
time that even Carl Pons will not be
so anxious to renew his offer.

The Issue Between
Stockton and GiIChriSi.

SlUUhlUu oIlu uIIUlIIlot.
"General Overconhdenco" is the
commander that has lost many bat
tie. He was in command OF Stock.
toms forces IN the first primary.
This accounts for Gilchrist's lead.
General Activity" is a COM
mander that wins most of his fights
He has assumed supreme command
OF Stockton's forces for the battle to
be fought June 10th, and with this
leader the fight will be won.
The issue in the race between
Stockton aud Gilchrist is now clearly
defined. None can fail 10 see it.
The question before the people of
this state is;
SHALL WHISKEY CONTROL
THE PEOPLE'SN CHOICE FOR
GOVERNOR
There is but one answer to this
question and tie answer is;
MOI
Gilchrist, good natured happy go
lucky man with no record OF work
for the public good and with no
known ideas of statecraft, received
more votes in the first PRIMARY than
did Stockton, a man who has devot-
ed his life TO the betterment OF con-
ditions under which we live, 80 that
the masses should not be expoited
by the classes, and who is known as
the champion Of principles that give
the people liberty, equality and hap
piness.
This happened because the whis
key men TOOK an interest Oh account
OF Gilchrist's declaration for local
option.
It's possible for few very active
people who are fighting for their
business existence to record their
~ill over the will OF a great many
Overcon6dent people.
Thus it happened that Gilchrist,
backed by the whiskey men got
more votes than Stockton who was
backed by nobody in particular, but
by a majority Of the people in gem
eral.
All the men who voted for Gil.
christ do not belong to the whiskey
crowd. Far from it. There were
hundreds who are honestly convinc
ed that Gilchrist is the better man;
hundreds who know Gilehrist and
do not know stockton; hundreds
who have for years been political
enemies of Stockton's.
These hundreds added together
made up 8 number which added to
the number controlled by whiskey,
and deceived by reports spread by
whiskey money gave Gilchrist the
lead.
II will be a lasting disgrace to
the State If the whiskey men can
boast, as they surely will boast, that
they elected the Governor OF Florida
the very year that Witnessed the
forward movement for decenoy,
morality and clean living in all the
States Of the South.

Mr.. Gilcbrist believes in keeping

That power lies solely With the

posinga change 10 the constitution
and
WITHTBE PEOPLE WHOVOTEl

Gilcbrist as Governor cannot keep
local option in force.
The Governor cannot vote a
resolution Of the legislature.
Stockton says 10 the people;
81 am willing to trust you.
Gllchrist says to the people:
~ am not willing 70 let you de-
eide ibis question Of prohibition.
