Jennings recently wrote a letter TO Mr..
Matthews, which he made public Mr..
Matthews replied and of course made
his reply public. That reply together
with Mr.. Jennings letter has been pub

but he probably has enough. The News
regrets it has not space TO publish this

Simply Prohibit. the Saloon

Bradford County Telegraph
Do not be deceived about the prohi-
bition amendment by the speciouS argu-
mcntS of those who have an interest TO
serve in opposing it. The amendment
simply prohibits the open saloon in this
state. Nobody undertakes to say that
any one who wishes to do so cannot keep
and drink whisky, and prohibitioniStS
do not claim that prohibition will stop
all whisky drinking. They do claim
that the Punishment of the open saloon
will lessen drunkenness and save large
percentage of the young men from con
tracing the drink habit. Those who
just cannot get along without "wee
drap" need have no fear of being cut off
by the adoption of the amendment
They can send away and have their jug
shipped in. To be sure il will be little
inconvenient TO send so far away for
it, but considering the good that will be
accomplished no one should mind max
ing this little sacrifice.

Mr.. Flagler to Build Another Florida
Railroad

Railroad
Frank Harris in Ocala Banner.
During our recent trip to New York
we had the pleasure of spending day
with Mr. H. NJ. Flagler at his beautiful
summer home at Mamaroneck, about
twenty eight miles out from the city on
Long Island sound.
The residence is not pretentiouS one
for one of Mr.. Flagler'S great wealth,
but the furnishings are in keeping with
the owners exquisite taste. The grounds
are beautifully laid out, and from every
point of view the prospect is a pleasing
one. The grounds jut out into the sound,
and is called Satan's Toe. 1t is shut in
from the "madding crowd" and is an
ideal retreat from the city'S rush and
roar and noise. Hemmed in by the
water on two sides the temperature is
several degrees lower than at the station
at MamaToncck.
The town is said 10 have derived its
name from an Indian woman who was
called "Roncck," who was so good 10
the pale faces" of her day that she won
the title of "Mama Roneck" which was
afterwards shortened to Mamaroneck.
That is the legend.
Mr.. Flagcr is still hale and vigorous,
with the exception of touch of rheu-
matiSm in his right wrist. His voice is
strong and clear and is without quaver.
His step is quite firm, and at the age of
81 he presents a splendid specimen of
robust manhood, the reward for living
an abStemiouS life. He was strong
enough 10 walk over the entire grounds,
and pointed out all the things of interest.
He thought at one time that he would
lose his beautiful silver maple and other
mammoth trees. The hearts became af-
fected and began to rot, so he had some
students from some of the agricultural
school to take the hearts all out and sub
stifute in their places a preparation of
cement. They are healing over nicely,
the rotting has ceased, and he thinks
that they are saved. He takes great in
tcrcSt in his grounds, stables, gardens,
etc, and does not go to the city on Sat
urday or Sunday, except on rare &C.
caSionS.
Mr.. Flagler informed US that he was
on the eve of building another railroad
in Florida. The plans have not yet
been fully agreed upon, but ii has been
definitely settled that the road will be
built. 1t will skirt the head of the
Everglades and cross over TO Sanford,
and will run from Sanford either to Fort
Pierce or West Palm Beach.
Mr. Flaglcr says that he has more con-
fidcnce in the future of Florida than
ever and wants TO live long enough TO
see his predictions verified-that is, that
all OF his enterprises will become divi-
dpnd parnprS and Florida he rpcOpnizpd
as the crown jewel in the SiSterhood of
states.
Mr.. Flagler says that the great storm,
while very costly TO him, was not with
out Salutary lesson. and his Sea-going
railway to Key West is being built
stronger than the original plans called
for and while its completion will be de-
layed, its construction on its present
plans will withstand the fiercest tropic
storms.

Local Option VS..
Statewide Prohibition
The Main Question


Miami Metropolis.
Ii will not be long before Pleasant
Holt will close his literary bureau, for
the election is not far off. Pleasant
Holt and the negro are enough TO damn
the cause for which they are contend
ing, which is the cause against the
amendment. II il were not for the
methods that are being employed there
would be many honest thinking voters
who would vote against the amendment
on principle, but these same men will
vote for it simply because the negro is
being used TO faint the ballot box will
of the people of Florida, and whenever
il comes TO the issue between the races
in the South, white supremacy must be
asserted at all costs This is question
which towers above questions of ex-
pediency or party. The local optionists,
whose sincerity upon the whole cannot
be doubled, have permitted their cause
10 be hurt by the introduction of Pleas
ant Holt and his inscriptions methods.
And the liquor dealers have been "bled"
for campaign fund which was unneces-
sary. The system is one which is hurt
full to both sides OF the issue. 1t is
system which should be frowned upon
and condemned until the professional
campaign manager is put out of business.
Professional politics is dirty politics.

The Agony Nearly Over

Well, the election to decide the fate
of the prohibition amendment is now
only twenty days off.
We will soon know whether or not
the saloon men and mean negroes are to
remain in control of our state politics or
that Florida white men who dig their
living out of the ground have any rights
left.

Can't Understand Motive

Manitee River Journal. ..'
The editor of the Journal has many
warm personal friends among the "Mod-
ern License Leagers" and the Local
optionists' of the State, who he is quite
sure are honest in the position which
they have taken on the pending qucs-
lion of State prohibition. Knowing
these gentlemen as we do and their
feelings and sentiments generally on
other questions, we have TO confess that
we are puzzled, and cannot help but
wonder how they can consent TO line
up with, and give assistance 10 the I'M
principled men now engaged in quail
flying the worst element of the State, in
Guiding the vicious negro, to override
the wishes of the Christian men and
women of the State.

The States Right to Rule

We hear much from the "wet" side
of the prohibition controversy to the
effect that each county has the right to
settle such questions for itself and that
the people of "dry" county have no
right to impose their will upon the PEG.
pie of "wet" county in such an issue.
This brings up the question of units
units in Legislation, and it is discussed
with convincing logic by the West Fort
Meade Leader as follows:
"The State is unit in legislative mat
terS. In no way but in the election of
local officials are the counties units
For instance, vote for governor in
fernando county counts as much as a
vote for the same office in Duval coun-
ly. In each "wet" county in the State
are hundreds of dry" voters. Why
haven't they a right to say that they
want no saloons in their county, All
electors in the State stand on the same
footing and each has an equal right TO
express his desires. The State is sover-
cign in State affairs, and counties only
get their authority by sufference of the
State. The individual voters make up
the State. The people OF the State
have the right to rule the State.
