I
That newspaper, in It's issue Of the
26th, said:
Governor Broward will appoint Hon.
W. H. Milton, Of Mariana, to succeed
Mr.. Bryan.
Mr. Milton will not be a candidate for
che long term.
Governor Broward will enter the race
and become a candidate for United
States Senator.
We donot make these prophetic utter
ances with pondrous and oWlish wisdom,
believing ourselves Of superior mould
than ordinary clay, but make the ad-
vance statement because we believe we
know Governor BroWard's ambitions,
aspirations and liu ions.
Now fOrC feaso1
Governs BrowaId will appoint Mr..
Milton b6eauae:
lst-Mr. Milton vii not be q candi-
date Tor the long term and Governor
Br0WeEd win have ample assurance Of
that fact before he makes the appoint
msnt.
2nd-GovernOr Broward will appoint
Mr.. Milton because he is about the only
man that Is able TO lend money that, so
far as we know, has not let him have
Rny.
3rd-Mr. Milton being pretty we'll
fixed financially and desiring chiefly the
honor Of haying worn the Senatorial
tOga as his grandfather did the honor
of Governor, would not mind lending
Governor Broward, say FIVE thousand
dollars even though it were never re-
turned 10 him, for even then Mr.. Milton
will have received nearly three thousand
dollars for his services as Senator, which
at best will require but q few months
attention in Washington, in addition to
wearing the coveted title of United
States Senator, and still enabling him
to attend 10 his financial affairs as well.
4th-Mr. Milton, in addition, has a
wide connection-deservedly so-being
associated with banks in BlOuntstOWn,
Chipley, DeFuniak, Mariana, Pensa-
cola, st. Andrews, and possibly other
places in West Florida; has q large cir
Gle Of friends and acquaintances, and
being a gentleman who makes friends
and holds them, and who is loyal TO those
who favor him, it will require stupid
politician, indeed, to fail TO make an al
lance and following which such an ap-
pointment will give to Governor Brow
ard.
Whoever Governor Broward appoints
will be some one who can-and will
lend him money enough to make his
campaign on for United States Senator
and likewise whoever advances him
that money will expect to lose it-or
charge it as 80 much for the position
rendered him.
Another prediction:
If Governor Broward becomes a can
didate-he will be beaten-beaten over
whelmingly.
Mark the predictions and watch the
result.

zone Touch Of Mature Makes the
Whole World Kim"

When a rooster finds a big fat worm
he calls all the hens in the farm yard
TO come and share it. A similar trait
of human nature is 10 be observed
when a man discovers something ex-
ceptlOnally good-he wants all his
friends and neighbors to share the
benefits OF his discovery. This is the
touch Of nature that makes the whole
world kin. This explains why people
who have been cured by Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy write letters to the
manufacturers for publication, that
others similarly ailing may also use It
and obtain relief. Behind every one
OF these letters is a warm-hearted
wish of the writer to be Of use to some
one else.
This remedy is for sale by Tallahassee

The Parland- Newhall Quartette gave
an entertainment here on Tuesday even

consisting of several quartettes and so

gentlemen composing this company are
also accomplished "bell-ringers," and
the music they produced on these sweet
toned instruments was very beautiful.
It is wonderful, how swiftly and accur-
ately these bells can be manipulated so
that no note either false OF lapsed, mars

appreciative of the whole performance,

william c. Stockton Receives Rhodes
SchOlaFshIp.

In q letter recently received by Pres
ident MurDhree. Oh the COLLEGE for
Women, William T. Stockton, the sue
cesBful candidate for the Rhodes Schol-
arship at Oxford University, writes to
accept the appointment. The young
man says:
II greatly appreciate the great hon.
or you have done me- II shall be my
constant endeavOr to make your com
mittee proud of your choice. hope
that in time may do as much for Flor
ida as she is now doing for me"
Mr.. Stockton is a son Of the Hon. J.
N. G. Stockton, and is a young man of
high attainments. He graduated at
the head Of his class several years ago,
from Duval County High School, en-
tered Princeton in the Fall of 1905, and
is now completing his junior year in
that noted Institution. The Rhodes
Scholarship, which Mr.. Stockton has so
creditably earned, carries with it an al
lowance Of $500 per year, enough TO
keep q young man in easy financial cir
cumstances at England's great univer-
sity, and also to enable him to travel
about Europe during the vacation
months. Thus q Rhodes Scholarship
man is afforded a chance 70 gain not on
ly the best of university training, but
also the enlarged knowledge and cul-
ture that comes only by travel in other

other peoples
Floridians have reason to be proud of

An Appeal TO the Groat-HoaFtsd.

''To the Great-hearted People Of
FlOrida" - people with q capital P.
That is the way Napoleon addresses
them, and handkerchiefs are in order.
Il is bewildering, it is glorious, it is
magnificent, it is sublime-the pro-
found, the pathetic language used by
Governor BrOWard in his announcement
that he is willing TO cruelty himself
upon the senatorial tree. on the GolRo-
than heights of Washington, d. c., in
order that he may be the servant of the
capital P. This has the sound Of poetry.
1t came unconsciously but aptly when
describing such a sacred sacrifice.
Truly, truly, we have perused many
queer documents, but this appeal of the
Governor to his well-beloved, in the no
BILE language of Billy Gutterboy, beats
the band. " Yes, It even filches from
the stunted arboriferous growth its di-
lapidated drapery. It is about the
most original effort we have ever been
called upon to consider, and precious
hard it is to know just what to make
of it.
All Florida was moved by the deep
pathos, surrounding the death of Sena-
tor Bryan, cut off in his youth from
career which should have proven both
brilliant and useful but we cannot see
WHY the Governor should use this sa-
cred shadow to walk in. Did he think
that his personality would shine the
brighter when displayed under a cloud ?
Or did he fear TO stand on his own mer-
its and felt the need of association with
q brighter and better representation
We will not judge his mOtive-he
must have had one. But we will say
that if an announcement of candidacy
for Office ever sounded with the soft,
seductive, muffied ding dong of your
full-hedged demagOgue this address of
Napoleon to the "great-hearted PE0-
PIE of Florida" 80 sounds TO our unsO-
phisticated ears. And he is confident,
too, that all that is necessary is for him
to speak and the "great-hearted" ones
will flock to his standard like hungry
chickens to the bread-trough. He be-
walls the fact that he has been COM
PEELED to come out so early because
otherwise the PEOPLE would never
know he was in the swim before the
day of the primaries-apparently for
getful that there are telegraph wires,
railways and newspapers in our Land
Of Flowers.
Well, let him enjoy his sublime conf
dence in his PEOPLES devotion. Let
us not shock him before the fatal nine
teenth day of May by any suggestion
that some of the ''great.hearted" Gre
atures may also have great heads on
their shoulders-long heads that look
into the future and understand that
men of the BroWard ilk are not the kind
to best serve as Senators, however hon
orable the Office may be, nor yet to be
trusted as faithful, unselfsh servants.

Gadsden Democrat, in Times: In your
issue of the Goth you have a nice COM
pliment to Hon. I. j. Appleyard Of Lake
City, Fla, in connection with the Office
of comptroller of the State. This am
glad to see, though Mr.. Appleyard and
myself do not agree on all political ques-
tions; in justice to Mr.. Appleyard l wish
TO say that have known him for twen-
ty years; he is a gentleman who applies
himself close to business and strictly
temperate in his habits. He is a gen
tleman with great natural as well as
cultivated ability, and should he conclude
to announce himself as a candidate for
this Office, I feel confident that his ster-
ling qualities and especially his honesty
will secure for MIN a considerable ma
iority of the Democratic votes of the
state. Knowing him as well as / do,
am sure he will not succumb in the
event of his nomination and election to
influence the members Of the Legisla-
ture TO increase his salary as did the
present incumbent.
While the publisher of the Buoy does
not enjoy a personal acquaintance with
Mr.. Appleyard, he is sufficiently tamil-
lar with his record to place high esti-
mate upon his ability and integrity and
believes that as State comptroller he
would reflect credit upon himself and
be an honor to the newspaper fraterni-
st Andrews Buoy.

he will win out Calhoun Democrat.

Improve With Experience.

While we are thinking about things
political, let US remember that the du-
ties of county commissioners are more
entirely composed of the transaction of
the public business, the conversion of
tax-raised money into results, than those
of any other officials to be chosen at the
primaries and elected at the polls. The
gentlemen who are now closing a term
Of service have discharged those duties
acceptably. Another term would be
improved by experience, and 1t would
be business wisdom to retain them in
Office for that term.-Tampa Times.

Black hawberries are now furnish
ing delicious meals for hunters in the
mountains. They are also being de-
voured by bears, and they are being
picked off the branches by coons and
opossums. Indeed, the black haw-
berry is one of the real food products
Of the woods, and there is no danger
of lost person starving.
You cannot convinced mountaineer
that the haw is not food. The only
trouble about it is that it takes a
great many berries to make a ban
'auet. 1t is the thick, mealy flesh sur
rounding the seed that is eaten, and
in some sections housewives make
them into sort Of jelly.
Experienced hunters make it a
practice to look for bears and grouse
in the vicinity Of clump of haw
bushes, and generally succeed In find
ing the game there.
The berries grow in large clusters
like elderberries, and a quart can be
picked in. few minutes. Minneapo-
