oKEEcHoBEE SECTION TO BE
OPENED UP SHORTLY

A company has Just been orga-
nized in Sanford for the building,
managing and maintaining rail-
road from Sanford to Lake Okee-
chobee. The proposed road will
pass through the counties of Orange
Osceola, Brevard, St. Lucie, De
Soto and Dade, distance OF two
hundred and fifty miles. The au-
thorized capitalization of the com
pany is $4,000 The incorporat-
ors are all we'll known business
men of Sanford, and can be relied
upon for their keen business sa-
gacity to put the Ian in operation.
Those signing the articles Of incor-
poration are, A. T. Rossiter, S. O.
Chase, J. N. Whitner, 7. P. Foster
and A. P. Connolly.
The great advantage Of such
railroad to the people of Sanford as
we'll as those living in the counties
through which it will pass can be
readily seen. Sanford at the head
of navigation on the St. Johns
River will become the shipping
port of the rich and fertile countries
through which the road will pass.
The road will likewise aid i'll
developing a large area Of country
now to a great extent undeveloped !.

Race Clashes in Springfield,


disgrace to Illinois. In discuss
ing the subject many of the pa
pers consider it as being of
kind with race clashes that some
times occur in the South. Such
a comparison is unjust to the
South.
Nowhere in the South, we be-
heve, would condition of affairs
such as has disgraced Spring.
held be tolerated by the authori.
ties or the people. The Charles
riot in New Orleans nearly a de-
cade ago is not in the same class
with the Springfield affair, for in
the case of the negro murderer,
Charles, certain blacks defed
the authorities barricaded them
selves and resisted arrest. A
posse of citizens assisted the DO
lice and the militia in capturing
the criminal and while some ex-
cesses were doubtless commit
ted, the posses were working
under the direction of the author
tiles and not in antagonism to
them.
In the Springfield affair the
mob held practical possession of
the capital of the State for two
days, defed and overcame the
authorities, from Mayor to Gov
ernor, destroyed property, muir
dered inoffensive citizens and
generally instituted a reign of
terror. And all this time a spine
less Governor, with the whole
militia organization of the State
at his command, was powerless
to restore order or to enforce the
law. Seldom has there been
presented to the people of the
country a more disheartening
spectacle of official incapacity
and cOWardice than is furnished
by the supineness of Governor
Deneen while the frenzied mobs
were sacking and marrying his
capital city and shooting down
it's citizens without restraint.
In the South we discriminate
between the good negro and the
bad negro. When the bad negro
crosses the dead linein the South
we may occasionally deal with
him in such manner as to give a
few thrills to the sensibilities of
northern negrOphiles, but the
work is generally effective and
the punishment seldom extends
further than to the criminal him
self. We do not seek to exter-
inmate a whole race in order to
strike back at one criminal.
But the Springfield incident
shows the tragic element of the
great problem which is posed by
the existence of an inferior and
a superior race side by side. tt
is the outburstof apent-up preju-
dice that, however long it may
have been concealed, was smold-
ering all the while and only need
ed the tiny spark to cause it to
burst into confagratiOn. Such
things show the utter hopeless
ness of the theory of develop
ment of the two races concur
rently and to the benefit of each.
Racial prejudices are ineradica-
bly, implanted in the human
breast wherever two races are
thrown together, and neither
education, character nor even re-
ligion can eliminate them.
In Springfield as in New Or
leans, there is a great gulf fix
ed" between the white race and
the black race, and no man may !
cross from one to the other with |

gress is not forty years Ions

i will not 60 to Washington t.
talk about the mocking bird but
will go there as a plain, blunt
man. to work for your interests
L will carry with me a record
that will enable me to defend the
State from the attack of the
Crumpackers and Keifers of the
Republican party.
AT the last session of Con,
gress Mr.. Crumpacker succeed,
ed in getting through the House,
but which was happily killed in
the Senate, the Crumpacker
amendment, which would cut
the Southern representation in
twain.
This has encouraged the
Crumpackers and Refers and
the issue is sure to come I'D
again at the next session of Con-
gress.
Mr.. Favrot himself says that
it will be one of the important is
sues before that body.
Now, when the qualification
clause came up for adoption in
the constitutional convention of
our own state, to which Mr.. Fav-
rot and myself were delegates, I
voted for the adoption of the
amendment which resulted in
the disfranchisement of the ne
groes, and placed the govern
ment in the hands of the white
men-the very thing Mr.. Crum-
packer is fighting-and Mr.. Fav:
rot voted against the adoption of
this amendment.
He said that he believed that
the law was unconstitutional.
I do not impugn his motives.
| do not believe that he voted for
it because he loved the negro or
wanted to see him in politics.
But since this question of the
of this amendment is
such a vital issue in the halls of
Congress who is in the better
position to depend Louisiana's
interests-a man who voted in
favor of your suffrage laws or the
man who admits that he believed
they were unconstitutional?
No court, either State or Fed
eral, has declared this law un-
constitutional.
How could he answer Mr..
Crumpacker in the halls of Con
if Mr.. Crumpacker were to ask
him if he did not vote against the
adoption of the law to disfran-
chise the negro because hel
it was unconstitutional?
1T is like sending Marshal
Ney to arrest Napoleon as to
send George K. Favrot to Con-
gress to fight the Crumpackers
Of the North.
His campaign manager has
told you of the speeches of Mr..
FavrOt-one along with Mr.. Hob.
son for a big navy and the other
for the Philippine islands, the
Sultan of Sulu or something of |
that ilk. But where do we find
MS speech when Mr.. Crumpack-
