Twenty Hundred Dollar
Suit Filed.

A suit for 500, 100000 has been
filed in the clerks Office Of this
county against Jacob Mcmillan in
favor of Fl j. Quincy and II. E,
Oxford. The suit grew out of a
contract between the parties
whereby Mr.. Mcmillan had en-
ployed Mr.. Quincy and Mr.. Ok
ford to lay off the town Of Osier-
field and cut same up into city
lots and sell them On commission
basis of 80 per cent. The petition
ers allege that they sold one hun
bred and fifteen lots and were rap
idly selling the remainder of them
as they had contracted to do, but
were prevented from SO doing by
reason of Mr.. Mcmillan refusing
to execute deeds. 1t is because of
this breach of contract that tire
plaintiffs are claiming that they
have been damaged to the extent
of twenty thousand dollars by
reason of the commissions they
had already earned on the sales
made aud the commissions they
would have been entitled to, if the
contract had been carried out.

have been taken into national politics
and made an issue by a demagogue,
seriously intended to determine the
presidential succession in his own
favor. Senator Foraker is a strong
man with a strong record, but, with
the presidential bee buzzing i'm his bonn
net, he has resorted to clumsy,
cheap and ineffective device to secure
following in the republican national
convention by means of the Browns
vile affair: and while the negroes
yell for him, his scheme has, never
theless, failed and he is hardly taken
seriously as presidential candidate.
His ihsincerity and demagogy in the
matter are perfectly transparent, and
without gaining anything whatever
worth the having, he has measurably
shrunken as a national figure and his
own state has repudiated him on the
issue he has made. Let him get what
comfort he can from the e~S
ment of emotional negroes through
out the country, for he has lost out
in the game he was playing for a
great stake.

Walters Soft Answer
Hit the SPOT.

The editor of the Arcadia News is
one of the philosophers of the state
press, keen and kindly, who never
loses his head and realizes that cam
paigns may come and campaigns
may go, but principles so on forever.
Walter Kehoe, candidate for congress
from this district, recently addressed
a letter to Albert Williamson, editor
of the Jacksonville F4oridian, which
has attracted wide attention and
which reached the spot in Albert's
good heart and brought from him a
magnanimous reply. The editor of
the Arcadia News makes this episode
in current politics the text for a
characteristic article which We repro
duce because of the sound, wise lesson
it teaches, which good many people
need to learn:
A wise man among the ancients
said, something about "a soft answer
turneth away wrath. j. Walter Ke-
hoe, candidate for congress in the
Third, has completely answered and
crushed Editor Williamson of the
kind, wise words. Brother Albert is
witty. His shafts of ridicule some
times hurt. His paper is always
read with interest, If not with pleas
ure. He is never duh. For some
years he and the former editor of the
Tayares Herald held the palm for
caustic criticisms of public men.
Brother Abrams, on account Of bad
health. recently resigned, much to
the sorrow of his brethren OF the
press. In his sufferings he has the
universal sympathy of US all We
have noted that the Jacksonville con-
temporary was becoming more tender
and sweet with age. Having had his
idols and ideals, and been disappoint-
ed in the past, Brother Williamson
has been disposed to let others worz
ship the tickle goddess of fortune. He
had almost quit his ridicule Yet a
short time ago, after visit of Kehoe
TO Jacksonville, he wrote a small eii-
torial squib that would have found
the sensitive spot, II the gentleman
from the Third had one. What did
Kehoe do? Write him an open public
letter, or hot roast? Not a bit of ii.
he was too diplomatic for that. He
wrote him a nice, humble letter. Al
ter acknowledging his own lack of
suitable qualifications for congress
and expressing his earnest purpose
10 do his best in the station TO which
he thought the voters of the Third
would elect him. he became reminis-
cent. He told of the time when he
was merely a page and Williamson
was member Of the. state senate.
He thanked him for his past kindness
20 the then page, and assured him of
his friendship and determination TO
prove worthy of greater things What
was the effect? The letter dried up
I'll of the feeling of ridicule and dis
Ike in the editors heart Now, if
he had a vote in that district. Kehae
would get it Was not that better
Than TO strike back? Kehoe, it
seems, was once a brick mason. He
mas made good as states attorney.
il he wins over his distinguished com
petitors, il will be a continuation of
his honorable career He could even
win old Ben Tillman. If he fails in
his ambition. he has shown that
candidates never lose anything by
being kind-even 10 the fellow who
deserves shooting.
