Down in Volusia county the
matter of an occupation tax is

as Evidenced by the following
from the DeLaad News: 1.-THE
men who gec nominated to the
Legislature from Volusia county
this year must pledge them
selves to vote against the per-
nicious occupation tax. Our
people have paid this tax on
industry until they are tired of
it-and this year it is worse
than ever before" But then,
you know, brother, the expense
of government must be met,
salaries must be provided for
the army of Office holders (and
most of them want their sala-

The jury in the Thaw case re-
turned a verdict Saturday of
acquittal, finding that the de-
PENDANT was insane at the time
of the killing of Stanford White.
The Judge of the court in which
the trial was had committed
Thaw to the asylum for the
criminal insane where he will
abide until released by the or
der of the court. Thaw's coun
sci will, within a few days, make
formal application for a writ of
habeas corpus and it will then
be determined whether or not
he will spend the balance of his
life 10 the asylum or walk again
a free man. So, after all, there
will be another chapter in this
famous trial which will be
awaited with interest by the
public.

Uneasy lies the head that
wears a crown. The King OF
Portugal aud the crown prince
were both assassinated and the
younger prince wounded by a
band Of assassins as they were
driving through the streets of
Lisbon Saturday. The queen
escaped injury. Three Of the
assassius were killed by the
police before they could make
their escape. Thus we see that
even the rich and the mighty
have their troubles as well as
the poor and humble.

The Index believes some of
the candidates are hurting
themselves by noting the fact
that they belong to certain fra

either the church or your ''or-
der" along these lines.-Lake

A candidate who has to run on
his secret society. bis church,
or his ancestry is in poor shape
to accomplish much. If he can't
stand on bis merits, he does not
deserve to stand Pensacola

any candidate who has made
use of church OF fraternal socie-
~ in his appeal for votes we

The political pot is simmering

as yet reached the boiling over
point but from all present indi-
cations that temperature will be
reached within a short time. A
word to candidates, prospective
and actual: Keep your temper.
Make your campaign en- a high
plane. Dou't get excited. Ask
the votes of the people on your
own merit and not the dement's
of your opponent, and above all,
don't indulge in mud singing

be-and ought to be-left out

change OLD methods ~ one season.
You have made mistakes in the past
and now have an opportunity 70 gel
right, Two years ago, not by your
own act, but by providential cadses,
you raised q small crop Of cotton,
Prices advanced, and with a short
production you travelled on Easy
street. Everybody realized this, and
the cry went up, "Reduce acreage
and raise more supplies at home 1t
was understood that this was to be
done. This was when the Associa-
tion was in full swing.
Then the Farmers. Union came in,
and in strong resolutions all over the
country, the area planted was to be
cut. But was it done-by either As
ISOLATION man or Union manl
Strife arose between these two or
CARNATIONS, and it soon developed
that house divided against itself
couldn't stand. The hone Of conten-
ton seemed to be tie idea that the
farmer could get along without the
business man, and yet the two are
inseperably consected in this section
Ia strictly agricultural one-by the
natural laws of trade. The farmer,
banker and merchant are part Of one
family, and each is dependent for
success on the other.
The reports show that we will have
very close to IS, 900 bales this year,
as against less than 10000 toe last.
Now, this means either that the
acreage was increased or that much
better farming, on an intensive scale,
has been done in the "belt" than
ever before.
The size of the crop is not too large
