each year finds more and more acre
age devoted to the culture of this de-
licious fruit in all its varieties.
The citrus fruits have also been
found to be a success in the Imperial
valley, and there are those who say
enthusiastically that this region will
become the greatest orange prod cling
section of California. There are many
orange groves planted already, and
each one appears to be doing n cely.
AT Brawley there are some trees of
three years that look as the trees of
full maturity do in the RedlanGs and
Riverside districts The fruit is de-
veloped with an even color and deli
cate skin. AS in other products the
citrus market will be reached a month
earlier than from any other part of
the United States.
Asparagus and Onions
The valley is an ideal place for the
growing of asparagus and oni ms.
The former is a great success on the
ranch of Mr.. Corwin, near Imperial,
and he refuses to give the profits per
acre that can be made from growing
this luscious vegetable for fear he
will not be believed. onions grow
rapidly and are of good shipping

The honey industry has enjoyed a
great advance last year. Bee keep
ers are enthusiastic in their praise of
this county as an ideal place for their
bees. The bees get no vacation during
the winter here. The sun shines about
every day of the year, and the flowers

VOTE FOR BROWARD!

My Dear Sir:-I write you to ask
that in your next issue of The JEFF
fersOnian you give us some facts as
to the record of James P. Talia-
ferro, United States Senator from
Florida. We only want the truth,
because we want to vote for the
man we think is for the interest
of the masses and not the few priv
LEGGED ones of this country. N. B.
Broward is his opponent. Please
give us what information you can;
the time is short, second primary is
on the 7th of June. May you live
long to tell the people the truth. I
enjoy reading your letters going for
the deserters from Democracy in
Georgia. Yours,
w. J. D. FORESTER.
Wauchula, Florida.
Answer.
The record of Taliaferro is rotten.
He is no peoples man. He is a
corporation toot.
He could have ousted that Jack
sonville negro, Joe Lee, had he
fought him as hard as Tillman
fought Crum.
That sassy niger has been lord
ing it over white men, in Florida,
just as Rucker has been lording it
over white men here in Georgia.
1t is a shame! 1t humiliates every
white man who has to do business
with the Internal Revenue Depart
ment.
And Taliaferro is responsible!
He has made no persistent fight to
have white man put in Joe Lees
place. T. e. w.

Dear Friend:-I will call you

The Registrars when perfecting
the lists between the close of the
books in April, and the delivery to
the Clerk Of the corrected lists not
later than the 5th of June, would
clearly have the right to correct an
inadvertence of the sort mentioned
in the above letter, If, however, the
Registrars refuse to do it, it would
cost the voter a considerable sum of
money to bring a proceeding in the
Superior Court and have the correc-
ton made by order of the Court

FROM AN OLD McDUFFIE COUNTY
BOY.

Dear Toni just feel like [ want
to write and tell you how much
think of you. I think you are doing
the grandest work for the great COM
mon people of any man I know of or
have ever read of.
I love to read after you above any
one I ever read after or heard of.
You can give the people more light
on great questions than any one
else, and do it in such a nice way
that it's attractive.
Tom, have spent ten years of
my life in old McDuffie, from 1870
to 1880, and went to school at old
Union church to Elex. Ware and A.

that was there when you used to
come up and speak there in our de-
batting society; doubtless, you re-
member it.
I have, or, rather, had, two aunts
there at Thomson, Mrs. Mary Sutton
and Mrs. Martha Johnston. Tell me
if either of them are living there, or
any of aunt Marthas children.

PROHIBITION LAWS CONSTITU-
TIONAL.


referred to you by Mr.. Ivy G. Turner,
and your sensible answer to his ques-S
tions, but there are still two more
points which, I think, requires Sc
rious consideration. In the first
place, the Government receives mil
lions of dollars from the people by
issuing them license to sell both
whiskey and tobacco, as I was chief
deputy in a United States revenue Of
flee which had a supervision over
thirty counties. The Government,
for cash, gives hundreds of thousands
of our citizens permission to sell
both whiskey and tobacco at whole
sale and retail, after having invested
thousands of dollars in the business,
while many of the States and coun-
ties have nullified that which the
Government has not only authorized,
but has received millions of dollars
for. The question is, have the States
a constitutional right to thus nullify
the action of the Government? 1t
would seem to me that such an act
would be decidedly unconstitutional
In Olden times, pure Whiskey could
be purchased for twenty cents per
gallon. There were then no saloons
in existence, where loafers could con-
gregate, and nearly every hotel kept
it for their patrons. when required
1t was a rare thing to see any drunk
enness and only at a raising of a
building would you see a jug of whis-
key furnished for the occasion. If
there was no tax on Whiskey, there
would not be a saloon in the coun-
try, for no man could make a living
at selling whiskey for one Or two
cents per glass. Bryan would have
no occasion then to lecture for the
cause Of prohibition. The fact is,
prohibition does not prohibit as has
been demonstrated in the State of
Maine, which has been under the pro-
hibition law for over thirty years,
and there is as much drunkenness in
that State as in any of the others.
You are a lawyer, and | would like
to ask you if State can nullify
law of Congress, and, if SO, can the
Government rob millions of the peo-
pie out of millions constitutionally?
G. MAJOR TABER.
Los Angels, Cal.
Answer.
Each State is a sovereign, possess
ed of all the powers of government,
excepting those voluntarily surren-
dered to the Federal Government.
Consequently, the States have the
inherent right to regulate their do
nestle affairs. The police power of
State is almost unlimited.
Therefore, laws prohibiting the
sale of intoxicating liquors, deadly
drugs, etc., are strictly within legal
limits.
In fact, the Federal officers who
issue those licenses to sell prohibited
liquors within State should be in
dicted and punished.
Not long ago, the Federal officers
in Atlanta sold a lot of moonshine
whiskey at public sale. Everybody
concerned should be prosecuted for
that crime.
Strange to say, not one of the
professional "reformers' of the State
made any outcry about the defiant
violation of the Georgia law.

ANOTHER CAMPAIGN REsUR-
RECTTON.


contested the election between your
self and Black for Congress that you
went over the Tenth District and col
lected money to pay expenses, and
that the expenses were appropriated
by Congress, and that you never paid
back any of the money collected
please explain the basis for this re-
port through your weekly Jeff.

Answer.
The foregoing is one of the veter-
ans which has done service in many
a hot campaign, and which appears
to have more lives than a cat The
truth of the business is that there
was mass meeting at Thomson in
the fall of 1892, at which there was
subscribed a campaign fund to con-
test the election. This fund was turn
ed over to Hon. G. H. Ellington, who
disbursed every dollar of it. Not one
cent of it ever went into my pockets.
The amount was deposited with the
bank of Thomson, and checked out
from time to time to pay the eX-
penses Of the lawyers in getting up
the evidence, and in preparing it for
submission to the Committee on Con-
tested Elections in Congress. Among
the expenses incident to this con-
tested case were stenographer's fees,
cost Of type-writing evidence, etc.,
etc.
It is true that Congress afterwards
appropriated certain sum to pay for
the expense of contesting the election
but this sum was comparatively
small, and, when divided among the
lawyers, made only very moderate
fee. Among the attorneys who work.
ed on the case, first and last, were
Messrs. John 7. West, Benjamin NJ
Gross, Hon. VIM. G. Glenn, and a
firm of Washington City lawyers,
whose names [ do not at this time re-
call. They can be obtained however,
from Mr.. John T. West, whose post
Office is Thomson, Ga.
The amount subscribed for the
contest fund, as I remember it, was
$1,700 The attorneys had to go to
the city of Augusta several times,
and spent several days taking testi-
mony in Warrenton, Ca, and at
Thomson, Ga. They endeavored to
take testimony in Hancock County,
but Judge Gross was threatened, and
he had to take his departure on the
next train to escape personal vio-
lence. In addition to this local work,
the attorneys had to go to Washing
ton City and spend some days there.
After deducting travelling expenses,
hotel bills, stenographer's fees and
some incidental expenses, the amount
divided among the lawyers as fees
was comparatively small. Mr. West
could, no doubt, give an itemized
statement of the whole thing, for he
is very careful man and usually
preserves a record of such matters.
He will bear testimony to the fact

the fire under control, and it was
this that saved the entire surface
workings Of the mine. The Round
up fire department responded to a
call, but as the hose could not be
connected to the water pipes at the
mine, was not of much use.
The fire was discovered by one
of the men employed at the mine at
4:3O o'clock, which then was only
a small blaze. This was put out it

whole building was discovered in

from a spark underneath the build
