ToMORR0W,s REsOLUTIoNs.

The time for your 2nnual good reso-
lutiOns is again at hand, and we trust
that no one win be deferred from ma
king them because those previously
made have been broken so often that
the habit has become a subject for Jest
and much fippant and ill-considered
talk. The beauty about a good resO-
luton is that it can sustain fractures
innumerable without losing either its
life or its virtue, and if the resolutor
keeps at 1t he may win out in the end,
and that will be worth the pain of all
the previous fractures. The very pur-
pose to make a good resolution, even
though the will should prove too weak
to keep it, shows that you are worth
saving and are on the right road.
Keep on fighting your besetting sins.
Keep on making good resolutions, pro-
vided you do it sincerely, no matter if
you do break them, and some glorious
day you'll find that they have reached
the sticking point at last and you have
been redeemed from the degrading
slavery of habits hurtful to all that
was best in yOu-and, perhaps, drag
ging you down to hell. All the truth
and honor and virtue in the world to-
day; all the high, strong manhood and
pure, noble wOmsnhOOd; all that makes
lie worth living, were achieved only
after the failure of innumerable good
resolutions made by ourselves and our
ancestors, and if Encouragement and
indifference had resulted from such
failure the world wOull have been a
moral chaos today. The more good
resolutions registered tomorrow in
good faith by strong and weak alike,
the less of sin and sorrow there will be
IN the year 1910.

The South loses a sturdy friend and
advocate, and Mississippi a most loyal
and devoted son by the death of Sena-
tor A. J. McLaurin, of that State.
which occurred last week. The de-
ceased statesman, starting from an
humble beginning Che called himself q
hill-biIIy), won his way steadily up
ward by force OF strong ability, logged
determination and an ambition that
never faltered or relaxed. He achieved
the highest hOnors that his State could
bestOw upon him, and he deserved
them. ''Old Anse" had a marvellous
hold upon the confidence and affections
Of the plain people of Mississippi, anc
they deplOre his death perhaps more as
that Of personal friend than a public
servant. The legislature will elect hi:
successor a few weeks hence, and ex
Governor Vardaman is among the can
didates for the place.

Ex-Governor BrOward sends ont
word that his candidacy for the United
States senate is sure thing, no mat
ter what may have been rumOred to
the contrary, and. with his usual, but
sometimes mistaken, confidence in the
dear people, he says that if the vote
were taken now he would win easily
over all competitors. The ex-governor
is a formidable man anywhere you put
him, and he is going to make a siren
uOus campaign to realize his highest
ambition, but We hazard the prediction
that senatorial laurels are not for hin
at least not this time.

The withdrawal of Hon. W. A.
Blount from the senatorial race last
week was something of a political SEN
satiOn. Mr.. BlOunt publishes at length
his reasons for the surprising step he
has taken, and those reasons in sub
stance are that his health was suffer
ing under the strain of the canvass he
was making, and the constant personal
appeal to voters to support him had be-
come intOlerably humiliating, putting
him, as it did, in the attitude of sup
plant beseeching favorS. He was not
discouraged by his prospects, but sole
ly for the reasons given he preferred
to withdraw to the secluSiOn and indie
pendence of private life to which he
had been accustomed. Mr.. BlOunt will
suffer no loss in the high opinion of his
fellow-citizens by this step, and his
statement of his motives will be &C.
cepted as absolutely true. His second
reason for withdrawing is really unique
in this age, and seems to be so little
understood or appreciated by candl-
dates in general that we feel it duty
to publish it. He says:
Second: There is another reason,
less tangible, but to me no less real
my repugnance to the personal sOlicl-
tatiOn of votes, either by a direct re-
quest of the voter, or by an exhibition
Of myself to him for the sole purpose

The great world-questiOn that has

The recent controversy as to what
editor had been longest in continuous
service in Florida seems to have been
settled IN favor of Editor Harris, of
the 0cala Ban er; and now the ques-
ton is, what editor in the entire United
States can justly claim the proud dis
tinctiOn of having been longest in the
harness. An interesting contribution
to that question is the following which
we take from the last issue of the
American Press, and which will be es-
peciaIly interesting tO.COnfederate vet

aspires to the honor:

Judge Wall Makes Pertinent Remarks

been so many cases of homicide here.

few days ago a man approached me
and asked me how many murders

Entered at the Live Oak PoStOfice as
second-class matter.

Our Live Oak Christmas might well
serve as model for the rest of the
country in those respects in which
there is such urgent need of reform.
There was no lawlessness or rowdyism
worth mentioning, no drunkenness in
sight, barring a mild case or two, and
thousands of people of both races min
gled on the streets in perfect good hu'
NOR and in the true Christmas spirit.

Judge Reeves doubtless felt that he
was blessed above all men in the
Christmas gift he got by the with
drawal of Mr.. BlOunt from the sena-
tOrial race, thus leaving him as the
only West Florida man in the field for
that Office. Judge Reeves is a man Of
strong character and ability, said to be
very popular in West Florida, and the
withdrawal of Mr.. BlOunt may improve
his prospects for getting in the second
primary.

NOBODY defends strike methods
like those which were employed at
McKees Rocks, Pa, by the work
men of the Pressed Steel Car com
pany, but something ought to be
said on the other side, says the
Epworth League. The company,
in pursuance of a deliberate policy,
brought to its shops the cheapest
possible labor. It housed its work
men in cheerless tenements, in
which they could have no interest
Of ownership and which could by
no possibility become homes. When
they struck, it evicted them, and
they were shelterless as we'll as
without work. And the company
has insisted all along that it "has
nothing to arbitrate. The time is
coming. and even now is, when no
company can take that position
without at once being under suspi-
cion. We know now that there is
always something to arbitrate. And
the tariff fed manufacturer owes
something. not only to his work
people. but to the people Of the
United States. by whose grace as
much Is BY his own skill and judg-
ment be has grown rich.

Live stock Market.

Denver Union Stock Yards, Septem-
ber Is The receipts of cattle last week
were very good though hardly as heavy
~ the preceding week. The eastern
markets were lower and this market
went of some early in the week but
later most Of the decline was regained,
leaving the good cattle pretty close to
steady with week ago, while the
medium and palmer stuff closed about
dime lower, the demand was strong
all week and the market in good shape.
Good Wyoming beef steers sold at 80
and most of the pretty decent killers
offered brought $4.OO to A.75. Cows
sold largely at 1926 to e3.65 for the
good ones with fancy stuff on up.
Medium COWS brought $2.75 to 1925,
and Gamers all the way down to 80.
Bulls sold at $500 to $2.75 and veal
calves at $500 to $500 or about steady
with week ago. Feeder and stocker
demand very fair and good fieshy steen
held up well. Plain stuff closed little

.kINo OF THE APPLE

The apple has been intimately
connected with the life of mankind
ever since the earliest history. For
ages it has had a prominent place
in the tales Of the people that have
been handed down to US. Some
times the apple has helped to make
the history Of nations and often
made richer the biographies OF
kings.
Who does not know the story re-
lated in the Bible in which the ap-
pie takes such prominent part and
where that dramatic scene is enact
ed in the Garden Of Eden? Solo,
mon says, "Stay me with flagons
and comfort me with apples"
The Greeks were acquainted with
the apple as is shown by the many
times it receives honorable mention
in the period Of the Athenian ascen-
dency. Homers Iliad and the
Aeneid of Virgil use its symbolisms
quite frequently.
The Roman Tactitus tells of the
prominence of the apple among the
Germans and the early Goths.
The Norseman sang the praises of
the apple in rough melody while
the old Scotch clansmen chose it
for their badge of honor. Then.
too, 1t is said that the remains of
apples have been found among the
bones of prehistoric men upon the
shores Of the Swiss lakes.
With all this precedent it is fit
ting that men in this present time
should give honor to the king of
Fruit" and in giving this honor
several great shows have been pro-
mulgated for the coming winter.
Colorado has come in line with
other progressive parts of the coun-
try and is at present arranging for
what they please to call The Colo
RADIO National Apple Exposition.
and the directors and promoters
claim that it will be the ''King Of
Shows" In making this claim
there is no attempt to detract from
the interest in other exhibitions of
like nature and indeed there is the
friendliest interest being manifested
between the managers of all the
large events. The Colorado or
Denver show has the advantage of
being centrally located among the
fruit shipping states and therefore
should pull very large exhibit
and an enormous attendance.
The auditorium, in which the
Denver show will be held. is a
building occupying a block Of
ground in the heart of the city of
Denver. 1t has seating capacity
Of $4,000. and was erected by the
city for the purpose Of taking care
of large conventions and exposi-
tions. 1t is handsome structure
and is unequaled in all the West.
Visitors to the Denver Apple Show
will receive that same. courteous
treatment that has always been re-
membered by persons attending any
sort of gathering in the city.
