MISUNDERSTOOD PICNIC AND PO.
LITiCAL RALLY AT STOKES
FERRY

From Sundays Daily:
The campaign itinerary Of the coun-
ty came to an end at Stokes Ferry
yesterday.
The hospitable people Of that sec
ton had proposed having a picnic and
rally on Thursday, the 14th, but after
wards ascertaining that the people
across the river had also agreed upon
that date. the rally at Stokes Ferry
was called off and indefinitely post
poned. 1t was afterwards decided 20
hold it on the 10th, but the change of
date caused some confusion, and on
account of which not as many We're
present as would have been had the
date not been changed. The barbecue
feature was also abandoned.
But Notwithstanding the change OF
date and the misrepresentation result
| ing therefrom quite a large number
gathered on the classic shores Of the
historic WithlacoOchee and nearly all
the candidates were there in force.
The dinner was a most excellent
and bounteous one. and besides meats
and pastries of every sort, fish and
coffee were served as side dishes.
The speeches were about the same
as those delivered at Lynne and 9th
er precincts, but as the campaign
nears its end there is somewhat more
ginger and virus injected into it than
at the beginning, but on the whole il
has been a clean and most amicably
conducted campaign.
All the speakers were present ex
cept DR.. William Griffith, candidate
for the legislature, Judge Ben and Mr.
Henry w. Long, candidates for judge
and those who have no opposition
but friends Of these various parties
volunteered and put in a good wore
for them.
. All the speakers will hold forth a
the court house in this city tomorrow
night, and all parties interested in tn
presentation Of the claims OF the va
rious candidates for the oraces Z
which they aspire may have the pleas
ure Of listening to them.
