will not have to beat W.
A. Blount. He has withdrawn and is
out of the race.
In another column will be found his
reasons for quitting so early. The
letter is characteristic of the man, and
will be read with interest by his
friends.
1t is doubtful if the distinguished
citizen would know this writer if we
should meet away from Arcadia We
do not claim more than a passing ac-
quaintance. Hence what we write is
not written from the standpoint of a
partisan or of close knowledge of the
man.
Now that Mr.. Blount is no longer a
candidate, 1t is proper for us to write
about him. In our humble opinion w.
A. Blount would grace seat in the
United States senate. In fact. he has
the intellect, knowledge, character and
habits that would make him an ideal
member of that august assembly. II
he could have been elected, he would
soon have taken rank with the ab1es ::
OF the senators, whose name is known
all over the republic.
Never mind about his railroad con-
AOSIiOlos we uOL discussing that
matter. The people would have
weighed all that; and they have elect
ed other railroad attorneys, who seem
to make good.
Those who know Mr.. Bloupt can
sympathize with him in the two rea-
sons he gives. His health would
have probably been permanently i'm
paired had he continued the exposure
and work of the strenuous campaign
he had mapped out w. A. Blount
would have tried to win, even at the
risk of his all. He Is not the man to
have spared himself. His repugnance
to solicit votes by personal appeal or
by exhibiting himself is characteristic
OF many men who never seek or hold
public position.
The DeSoto County News is not
naming candidates. We merely ask
the question-What's the matter with
w. A. Blount for the next vacancy on
the bench of the United States su-
preme court? Could not President
Tart stop nearer and do worse?-De-

POULTRY DEPART RTMENI
By W. L. Witch, Jr, Secretary Escambia County
II Poultry Association

(Note-The Escambia County Poul-
try Association, recently organized
in Pensacola, Fla, proposes to do all
possible for the upbuilding of the
Poultry Industry in this section, and
to aid all persons interested in poul-
try in any way 1t can. This depart
ment of The Journal, edited under the
auspices of the Escambia County
Poultry Association, will gladly ans
wer questions relative to the care,
management, feeding and diseases OF
poultry.)
The fall fairs will soon be here
again, when the season opens for
showing poultry. This is a good op-
portunity for the amateur poultry
man to show his birds, especially at
the county fairs, trying them out to
see how they compare with other
birds. 1t is the right way to find out
whether you are breeding right or not
by bringing them into the show room.
They may prove to be better than you
anticipated, and If they are defective,
you will know what to do to overcome
the weak points. Do not hesitate
about showing your birds; it will be
a. great help to you in perfecting your
variety Be sure and attend the fall
fairs and winter poultry shows that
you can, even if at some inconveni-
ence. You will be well repaid for the
time and money it costs. You will
learn a great deal in seeing the birds
in competition, and giving you an OPP
portunity to talk chicken" to the
breeders you meet there.
We would like to encourage every
one who is thinking of taking up poul-
try keeping, for it is healthful busi-
ness, and may be profitable one. But
it is we'll to remember that many who
enter other lines fail, and some who
begin with poultry get discouraged. In
many instances this comes because
there has not been clear understand
ing Of the possibility of defeat and
the reason for it. Get all the infor-
nation possible beforehand; find out
who have succeeded, and why. But
do not neglect to find out those who
failed. and the causes. There are pos
sibilities of failure in the poultry busi-
ness as in all others. 1t will pay
better returns for the amount of
money invested than almost any 9TH
err business; but it will require good
management and an open eye.
Nothing gives the poultryman more
pride, aside from winning the blue
ribbons, than to beat his neighbor get
ting eggs. There are many breeds
that are called "egg breeds but,
friends, they are all egg breeds il

FOREVER ENDS
INDIGESTION
NO HEARTBURN, STOMACH GAS,
HEADACHE OR DYSPEPSIA FIVE
MINUTES AFTER TAKING A LIT
TIE DlAPEPsIN, WHICH is
HARMLESS.

| Every family here ought to keep
! some Diapepsin in the house, as any
! one of you may have an attack of In
digestion or Stomach trouble at any
| time, day or night.
| This harmless preparation will di-
gest anything you eat and overcome a
distressed, out-of-order stomach FIVE
minutes afterwards.
If your meals don't tempt you, or
| what little you do eat seems to fill
you, or lays like a lump of lead in
your stomach, or if you have heart
burn, that is sign of Indiges-
| ton.
Ask your pharmacist for a 5O-cent
case of Pape's Diapepsin and take a
little just as soon as you can. There
| will be no sour risings, no blech-
ing of undigested food mixed with
acid, no stomach gas or heartburn,
jfullness or heavy feeling in the stom-
ach, Nausea, Debilitating Headaches,
Dizziness or intestinal gripping. This
will all go, and, besides, there viii
be no sour food left over in the stom-
ach to poison your breath with nause-
Gus odoEs.
Pape'S Diapepsin is a certain cure
for out-of-order stomachs, because it
prevents fermentation and takes hold
of your food and digests it just the
same as If your stomach wasn't
there.
Relief in five minutes from all stom-
ach misery is at any drug store, wait

These large 50-cent cases contain
more than sufficient to cure almost
any chronic case of Dyspepsia, Indi-

properly housed, fed, and cared for.
1t is the care that counts more than
the breed. Some breeds do lay bet
ter than others, perhaps, but l do not
know of any breed of fowls that will
not lay if given good care and proper
ly fed.
Sand for little chicks, charcoal for
grown ones, and meat for all of them
will be found a combination hard to
beat if you want health, growth and
eggs.
Remember that all drinking and
feed troughs need scalding with boil
ing hot water, even in cold wealth
er.
Don't be discouraged because of a
failure. The man who never makes
ia mistake never makes anything.
If you are the least bith inclined
to be lazy, for goodness sake keep out
of the poultry business.
Hatch every chick you can during
the next sixty days, for you know the
early bird finds the blue ribbon as
well as the worm.
If you are contemplating exhibiting
at some of the shows this fall, be sure
you have your chickens growing ev-
cry minute of the time from now on.
You don't want to buy your show
birds And hustling growth is essen
tial to that good development shown
in the winners. OF course, every
breeder occasionally finds that from
bad luck, misfortune, errors of breed
ing, judgment, ETC., his string of show
birds will show weak spot or so and
to fill it out will require the pur-
chase of bird or two from some 9TH
er breeder. But the bulk of your ex-
hibit ought to be your own breed
ing
The eyes of the whole country are
turned toward the South and breeders
everywhere are beginning to realize
what wonderful possibilities are open
to us in the breeding of all kinds of
live stock in this section. They real
ize as never before our climatic ad-
vantages, and when We consider the
wonderful strides we have made in
the past few years without any per-
ceptible increase, we can look to the
future with a great deal of confidence,
If we are alive to our opportunities.
Think of the poultry products of the
South representing the enormous
sum of S160,000,000, and this only at
the very beginning of our activity.
Let us put our shoulders to the wheel
and show to the world that we are
awake and working.

100 School Children
Have No Play Ground.

A condition exists In the school
grades that are now being taught in
the Heron residence on Lee Square
that calls for immediate action.
About 100 pupils had to be trans
ferred from the public school build
ing, because of lack of room there, to
rooms In the Heron residence which
the School Board now rents. These
pupils are now properly housed, but
they have no place to play.
They cannot play on the grounds
around the residence, because those
grounds are neither roomy enough nor
in condition otherwise for a play
ground. They cannot play on the
grounds of School No. 1. The Lee
Square park commissioners have for
hidden them to play in the square.
The only place left for them is the
brick street pavement. Now these chill
dren must have a play ground.
The Journal is informed that the
Rosasco lot just south Of the, Heron
property may be had for that purpose,
but that an expenditure of probably
500 will be necessary to put it in
proper condition for a playground. II
that is the. case, and If that is the
best that can be done, then the propo-
sition should be accepted Immediately.
If the School Board cannot provide
500 out of its own funds for this
highly essential purpose, then the
amount will have to be raised by pub.
lie subscription, but it must be pro.
vided
The idea that one hundred school
children ranging in age from six to
ten years, should have no place to
play is a reproaeh on the community
and it must not be allowed to exist
much longer.
The Journal would be glad to hear
from anyone who is interested in the
subject.

Rumors of Reconsideration.


Persistent rumors continue to circu-
late in this portion of the moral vine
yard that Mr.. Blount will reconsider
his withdrawal from the race for Unit
ed States senator. He has been re-
ceiving showers of bouquets since his
withdrawal from the race not only
from the entire state press, but from
points outside, one of the most recent
of which is from Harper's Weekly, a
paper which has not been in the past
any too tolerant or kind to Southern
men or measures. That paper says:
IL William A. Blount of Pensacola,
candidate for United States senator
from Florida, a correspondent writes:
He is remarkable for his big intellect.
compare him with Root only. They
are the same sort If Florida has a
citizen who is like Mr. Root in mind,
and who is not now in the public en-
ployment, the sonoer he takes office
the better for all hands. Our CORE
spondent's description of Mr.. Blount
makes US anxious to see him in the
senate" Evidently, from the concen-
sus of opinion, both state and national,
the withdrawal of Mr.. Blount amounts
almost to calamity. The big brainy
men that were wont to represent the
South in the upper house of our ma
tional legislature are conspicuous by
their absence. 1t is statesmen that
has ever been the province of the
South to furnish the country in its
highest deliberative assembly-broad
minded and liberal-not narrow and
using their high office for the advance
ment of personal ends. There is no
denying the fact that in Mr. Blount
the South had an opportunity of again
investing with the senatorial toga
once more an intellectual giant with
an integrity as unapproachable as any
of the great statesmen for which the
South has been noted.-Santa Rosa

ENGLISH SYNDICATE BUYS
TENNESSE TIMBER LANDS

the purchase Of 10000 acres of virgin
timber lands in the Smoky noun
tains, near the recently completed

Mr.. Blount and His Clients

Hon. w. A. Blount, of Pensacola,
has withdrawn from the senatorial
race. He gives several reasons; but
the principal reason is. of course, that
he thought the chances of winning
were not worth the effort necessary to
make the fight. Mr.. BIount and Dun
can U. Fletcher are considered the
two most learned lawyers in Florida.
But for many years Mr.. Blount has
given his best efforts to his clients.
the Louisville and Nashville Railroad
company, which Is the only railroad
IN the state that has successfully de-
fed the state railroad commission and
maintained passenger rate of four
cents a mile on its trunk line. This
connection with the railroad must
have been found by Mr.. Blount a great
lncumbrance in his laudable ambition
to be one of Florida's United States
senators. While the News believes
that Mr.. Blount was big enough and
broad enough to forget his railway
connection chad he been elected) it is
perhaps just as well under the circum-
stances, that he has withdrawn. The
office of United States senator is the
highest within the gift of a people of
a state, and when the Office is held by
a man who has for years served a cor
poration that has delved in politics,
and has tried to control the politics of
a state the acts of such senator are
more subject to criticism than the acts
of a man who has not served politi-
corporation. The expe-
rience of Mr.. Blount-one of the
brightest minds in FLorida-shouId ha
a lesson to the young lawyer starting
out in practice. 1t should warn him
that, if he ever expects to ask the peo-
pie of his state for a high and dfgni-
he'd office, he should not ally n1mselr
to any firm, person or corporation that
tries, or has tried, to control the poll
tics OF the state. 1t does not matter
how pure man may be in himself,

OF his reasons for abandoning the

IL CUlAc QulSh.
In trying to elect a United States
senator, the Mississippi legislature is
pursuing a course by its secret ballot
caucus that ought to be, and probably
will be, condemned by the Democrats
of Mississippi generally. Why don't
the members of that body come out
in the open and cast their ballots
openly so that their constituents may
know what they are doing. The day
has gone by when the secret partici-
pant can long retain the respect or
confidence of the people who elected
him. If the solons at Jackson would
make the ballot an open one, the
deadlock would probably: be broken
within twenty-four hours.
The death of Rufus N. Rhodes,
founder and editor of the Birmingham
News, removes force in Alabama's s
business, civic and political life which
that state can ill-afford to lose. Gen.
Rhodes was without question the
leading editor and publisher in Ala
bama and his work has probably done
more to build up the business institu-
tions of the state and to create clean
moral sentiment and a wholesome
civic pride than any other citizen OF
Alabama. The Journal joins with
Gen. Rhodes's friends everywhere in
sincere regret over the cutting off of
a career that had been so full and
that still promised so much.
If the County Commissioners are
really in earnest about reducing the
feed bills for the prisoners confined in
the county jail, let them cooperate in
an effort before the next legislature
to pass a law taking the feeding of
the prisoners out of the hands of the
sheriff, There is no reason in the
world why the county should not feed
its own prisoners at cost, just as the
city does, and just as the county feeds
the inmates at the county farm. Every
county in Florida is spending hun
dreds and thousands of dollars of the
taxpayers money to no other purpose
than to give the sheriff a rich profit
on the Jail feed bills. The practice
ought to be abolished.

wealthy composer.
Dr.. Richard Strauss of Berlin, whose
opera, "'Elektra,' is causing so much
interest among musical circles. is prob
ably the wealthiest composer IN the
world. He sold the rights of one of his
works for nearly $4,000 alone, and no
one Is more sought after by the musical
publishers. When he conducts con
cert of his own compositions he re-
ceives the princely fee of 5000, and as
he combines artistic genius with Il keen
business instinct, he has amassed large
fortune. One of Herr Strauss s greatest
annoyances is to be mistaken for that
other Strauss, who is known to fame
as composer of waltzes. 1t IS well
known that the kaiser was opposed TO
the production of DR.. Strauss S "Sa

have been given there but for the com

court influence was against his opera

things military made him wish to hear
the marches. Shortly afterward Strauss
was invited to the palace, and was asked
