custom of our little village, on the
first day of May, and this year it
falling on Sunday, the social gather

Saturday, April 30th There is al
ways an invitation extended to all
candidates for office far and near to
be present and deliver themselves of
ali the good deeds that they want to
do for the dear people when in

sion we had Ex-Governor N. B.
Broward with us for short talk,
and many other smaller lights, Mr..
Broward being a candidate for the
United States Senate, which place is
now occupied by James P. Taliaferro,
who is candidate for reelection,
and also Claude L'Engle is a candi-
date fer same.
1t is said we have no Democratic
party in Florida, SO it is incumbent
upon every ofTiee-hunter to con-
struct his own platform to stand
upen when he sets out vote-hunt-

position from his short talk, he

ferred to him as small potatoes and
few in the hill. They rate Claude
about as your Mr. Ellis or Mr.. How
ard would speak of you, Mr.. Wat
son. You see, Claude's platform is
about straight Jeffersonian Democ-
racy and very Populistic, and he
calls spades by their name, and he
tells the scandalous truth on some
of our high-fyers, and as the old
lady said. "That was what hurt
worse than a lie.'' Claude is the

are awfully afraid of politics unless

fourteen years ago, when corn culture
was practically unknown in this sec
ton, Mr.. Jones has crossed and de-
velOped it till he now produces more
corn to the acre in Kinds county,
three miles from Jackson, than any
farmer In the world. He makes his
corn produce six to fourteen ears to
the stalk, and the yield is at the rate
of from one hundred and fifty to two
hundred bushels an acre.
This has been done on ordinary
Mississippi land, without using more
than the usual quantity of fertilizer,
Not only is the yield large, but
the weight of the grain, after it is
shelled, Is far above the average,
showing the corn is not only well
fruited, but fully developed.
In addition to performing wonder
full feats in the way of corn culture,
Mr.. Jones, by cross-breeding okra
with short staple cotton, has produc-
ed long staple of finest texture and
endurance. His achievement with
both corn and cotton are attracting
a great deal of attention. He has

Jones expects to add one more ear
to the stalk In his corn field. He has
added an ear every year for fourteen
years, and believes he will increase
the yield this year again.

Philadelphia Judge Calls Reckless
Auto Driving Public Scandal.

Philadelphia, Pa.-"The fact tlat
