The Withcring Details.

After ten innings of desperate fight
! ing, the coveted championship of Mon

DAY afternoon, when it boxed the
fourth game of the series with Hamil-
ton. The turn in the tide of the con-
test came so quickly that the watching
crowd scarcely believed what it saw.
From to / score in the seventh, the
story shifted to tie in the eighth and
an extra inning struggle in which Dill
lon batted out three runs and victory,
while Hamilton rallied one, making
the final count to 3.
Hamilton held the lead until the
eighth inning with the score to /.
Local fans felt that the game was on
ice, for Heilman was pitching league
ball, while Hawker for Dillon was
touched freely Then Workman regis
tered, tying the score, but there was
no noticeable slump in Hamilton stock.
But in the tenth Heilman weakened
perceptibly and the demon hittefs
were upon him. An extra-base hit,
two singles and a long fly that was as
good as safety cost the champion
ship. To the silent grandstand the
crack of the bats sounded like clods |
falling on a coffin.
Hamilton Scores First.
Hamilton was off with a leap in the |

fox, while Gray was preparing his foul
to Workman. Then Heilman drew a
hand by clean single over the infield
which brought Rich home McQuaid
singled for the second consecutive hit,
but Hammond flew out.
The third session was uneventful.
In the fourth Gray furnished the set
ting for one of the speediest of
doubles. Richmeyer singled and
Shorty" drove dust-burner to
Means, who tossed it to Mcnamara and
it was off like a shot to Zwicker.
Workman Starts the Trouble.
Workman was walked in the fifth and
his performance of the day before
showed thatlhe was a dangerous man
on bases. He stole second and Nc
hit to deep right for two
sacks, scoring the heady catcher

NAPOLEON. B. BROWARD.

News Of the death Of Hon. Napoleon
B. Broward, former governor and noni-
nee for United States Senator, was re-
ceived II Stsrke Saturday afternoon
with profound sorrow. II was not for
all of Us TO see as he saw or to believe as
ne believed with respect 10 matters OF
public policy, but all had come tOknow
and regard him as one of the states very
useful men, aud as such he is mourned
alike by friend and opponent. The SEN
timent that crept into the hearts Of all
when news of the death of this truly re-
markable man was received has been
beautifully portrayed by the Florida
Times Union in its editorial columns.
The Times Union said:
1.-The reaper that cuts men down also
levels the barriers that divided them.
The chasm which separates the living
from the dead is impossible, but the
view across il is clearer than between
those who are on the same side. In life
there is fight and the smoke Of battle
shuts from rhe view OF each side much
that it should have seen Of the other,
but the tenderest and best are clearest
revealed when men look across an open
grave.
"And 50 today there are thousands
who, like The Times Union, always op-
posed the big man so recently crowned
with laurel and now clothed in a shroud,
who see 30 clearly the qualities that all
admired that past differences refuse to
intrude and the opponent Graves place
among the mourners.
"And there are many thousands who
were always ready to follow where he
led. These grieve for him today as for
one of their own. We do not believe
that more sorrow has ever oppressed the
state 1T the LOSE of an honored one than
the people Of Florida feel today.
while Governor Broward lived Flori-
dians were his friends or his foes. There
was nothing in his nature that tolerated
nutrality or permitted lukewarmeness.
Those who knew him personally recog-
nized him as a man Of napoleonic force.
Those who die not know him gave him
less credit than he deserved. They
knew he had not had the advantages of
schooling. They did not know that he
had educated himself until he was one of
the best posted men in the state; and so
there were many who gave TO his friends
aud advisers who had enjoyed better ad-
vantsges more credit than they deserved.
"Among Governor Browsrd's support
ers were q number Of able men, but his
was the biggest brain, the most master
full power. Il was his brain, his force,
his power that won for him the position
Of leadership.
"Unsided Governor Broward fought
his way to the realization Of his highest
ambition and few Of his lifetime friends
regret more deeply than The Times
Union that he did not live to enjoy his
success"

JOE ohhhOOSh ON PROHIBITION.
Rev. Joe Sherouse, Of Tampa, district
manager of the Florida Anti-Saloon
League, labor leader, preacher and pro-
hibition orator, made Fort Meade q
visit on Tuesday night and remained
over until Thursday morning. Upon
invitation, Mr.. Sherouse addressed the
audience at the temperance rally We'd
nesday night. The regular program
was set ahead one week to give Mr..
Sherouse opportunity to occupy the
whole time.
The united choirs Of the three church.
es engaged in the movement furnished
music for the occasion. The music was
excellent and MIR. Sherouse's talk was
convincing. He took up one by one the
arguments Of the opposition and demol-
ished them. He showed how prohibi-
ton ruined Atlanta" to the extent Of
1876 per cent. increase in bank deposits
for one year as against . % per cent. in
crease in "wet" Jacksonville for the
same period. A number Of other COM
parstive figures were given and 20 over
whelmIng was the evidence for the eco
nomic advantage of prohibition the vets
had no argument left on the economic
side. The other phases Of the issue were
treated with the same convincing logic
and prohibition was shown 70 be q dis
tinct gam from every viewpoint.
Mr. Sherouse spent nearly q week In
Barlow working mp sentiment and or
gAnizing. but finding rs well Organized
and enthusiastic, he spent but . short
time here and Left Fort Mead this morn.

Life is pretty much one blamed thing
after another, rs some philosopher has
Informed US. Here we are Just getting
into statewide trouble over the pro-
posed amendment for statewide prohi-
bition when Representstive-elect West.
Of Santa Rosa county, rises to remark
that he has more trouble in store for us.
He informs the Pensacola Journal that
initiative, referendum and recall' is
the coming issue, and says:
81 am in favor Of the initiative, ref.
erendum and recall, and shall intro
duce q resolution submitting q consti-
tutional amendment which will provide
for its adoption in Florida. The consti
tuition should be 30 amended as to per-
init the people either of the state IS a
whole, or Of the counties, or OF the in
corporated cities, to invoke the initia-
tive. referendum or recall whenever
their Pnblic servants either fail to do the
work for which they were elected, or
misrepresent the people whom they are
supposed TO serve. The initiative will
enable the people Of any city or county
or Of the whole state to require their
Representatives to act upon any particu-
Lar issue which the people think ought
10 be acssd upon. The referendum will
enable the people, II they 90 desire, to
vote directly upon any law which repre-
sentstives have enacted, and the people
can by this means prevent any objec-
tionable law from going into effect.
The recall Will enable the people to IA.
duce 70 private life any public servant
who fails to represent them honestly OF
Satisfactorily"
That al sounds well and it may work
we'll, but we have our doubts. Il
amounts to direct legislation by the
whole body Of the people, and that seems
entirely too cumbrous to be practicable
The recall feature Of the proposed
amendment looks we'll and might serve
its purpose, but a. for the rest-if the
people haven't character and fnteIli
genoe enough to select capable and
trustworthy men 70 make their laws
they would be very likely TO make Q sad
mess Of IL when they undertook the tasE
themselves BY direct legislstion, Ar

now proposed for Florida By Represent
atlve West, and we can well afford Ia

SHIFTING THE SHOE.

SHIFTING The SHOE.
There was time when the statement
that q man was in favor Of "local OPP
ton" bore with it the assumption that
he was in favor of prohibition, and was
contending for the triumph of that prin-
ciple In his precinct, town or county, or
in as wide an area as was involved in
the contest. The term "local optionist"
was generally accepted as synonymous
with "prohibitionist
The opponents of theamendment have
adroitly shifted the shoe to the other
foot, and in the statewide contest are
attempting to disguise themselves under
the local option cloak, and to deceive
the unthinking who have heretofore as
ISOLATED this term with the friends of
temperance.
The advocates of the amendment are
local optionists in fact, because they in
sist that the people of the state have the
same right to decide upon an issue in
voIving the moral welfare Of the whole
state as the citizens CT county have to
regulate such matters within the county.
For instance: There are some two
dozen precincts in the county of Polk.
No one questions the right of the people
of Polk county to declare that Intoxi-
eating liquors shall not be sold within
it's confines. One or more of the pre-
cincts may not desire county prohibit
ton, bnt the people of these precincts
must acquiesce in the will of the ma
jority and accept countrywide regula-
ton.
Applying the same principle, is it not
just as reasonable TO enforce q moral
regulation with the state as q unit, not
withstanding that minority Of the
sounties of the state may object to this
regulation;
If it is local option" to vote whiskey |
ont of town where some Of its citizens |
desire saloons; if it is local option to
prohibit the sale of intoxicants in q |
county where some precincts are opposed
to prohibition-why is it not local OPP
ton to vote whiskey out of a state even
though some counties favor a continue
ton of the traffic?
Under the present alignment Of forces
there is no middle ground, and the man
who declares that he is against the
because he "favors local
option" is against the amendment be-
cause he favors whiskey and plenty of
It, and there is no other reasonable con-
struction to place upon his position

VOICE OF JACOB, HAND OF ESAU.
Down at that Jacksonville convention
last week of the local optionlsts," as
they call themselves with fine uncon-
scious humor, the voice was the voice Of
Jacob, but the hand was the hand Of
Esau. We were deeply impressed with
the beautiful array Of pictures of the
gentlemen so nobly and unselfishly con-
secrated to the great work of saving
personal liberty" and the sacred
right Of local self-goverrment," to the
dear people Of Florida, as printed in the
Times Union and other temperance or
gans, and we admit that those gentle
men are prominent and reputable citi.
zens not engaged in the liquor traffic.
But behind each face in that lovely'art
gallery it was not difficult in imagina-
ton to see the grim mug Of the liquor
dealer himself, the chief party in inter-
est, to perpetuste whose traffic in Flor
ida that Jacksonville convention was
called, no matter how cunningly that
purpose was sought to be yelled under
the specious phrases of local self-gov-
ernment and personal liberty. Mr..
Liquor Dealer was entirely too smart
to put in actual appearance in the con-
yention or lift his voice in it's proceed
ings, for that would have been "a dead
giveaway," and at once made the issue
sharp and clear Of the liquor traffic,
bald, naked and defiant, against all the
better elements Of society. He kept in
the background, but the circus was his,
and he was quite willing to waive any
parade Of his personality in view of the
substantial benefit that might accrue to
him if the people could be made to
swallow the cant and tommyrot about
the sacred right Of local self government
promulgated by his convention.-Su-
wannee Democrat.

MEMORY AGAINST MEMORY.

In the Bradford County Telegraph Of
September IS an editorial appears which
s. charges that the editor Of this paper
published in the Jasper News "some FIVE
TO seven years ago. an editorial ''advo-
eating the return Of saloons to Jasper"
The statement is wholly untrue III every
particular. We do not believe that
Brother Matthews would wilfully mis-
represent our editor and we trust to his
sense Of honor to make a correction OF
the foregoing observation-disclosures News
1t is evident that Editor Caldwell
wrote the foregoing paragraph Off hand.
It does not bear the ear-marks Of inves-
tigstion, and the question rs to whether
he Published such an editorial as we
mentioned or not Is, we think, still an
open one, since this seems to be case of
memory against memory. AS we said
\ before, If our memory does not play rs
false, such an editorial did appear in the
: Jasper News 1t q time when the paper
was under the editorial management Of
Editor Caldwell. The editorial COM
planned rather bitterly that the business
interests of Jasper had been injured by
,thefprohibition Of saloons in the town
and set forth the argument that Val
dosta, Ga, then q "wet" town, had
prospered, and was prospering, at the
expense OF Jasper. The editorial i'm
pressed Us deeply because it was from
<hespen Of Editor Caldwell. This, n
brief, Is our memory 81 the matter, but
If we have been laboring under o delu-
sion the correction and apology to Ed
tor Caldwell will be forthcoming.
However, we cannot yield the point
simply on statement made from Edi-
tor Caldwell,s memory, and ofser shis
suRrestion q Q means Of clearing the
mater up: That Editor Caldwell I'M
medissely Submit his files to two disin-
terested persons, one Of our selection,
the other Of his, who are to scan said
files carefully for period Of ten years.
II they find such an editorial a. we have
mentioned the same to be reproduced In

PRIMARY on no PRlNABY.

The death of Hon. n. B. Broward,
nominee for United States senator,
raised the question of how the successor
to Senator james P. Talisferro shout
be chosen-whether another primary
election should be called or whether The
selection of the senator should be left TO
the legislature. Soon after the death of
Mr. Broward the Jacksonville -Metropo-
lis Consulted large number OF promi-
neut citizens of the state by wire and
most of those who replied to its inquiry
placed themselves on record as fsvoring
the holding of primary.
Aside from tue very large expense Of
hol ling the primary, something like ten
Thousand dollars, which the candidates
will have to defray, there seems to be no
good reason why a primary should not
be held. The matter, however, will rest
entirely with the candidates for the
place. If they volunteer to Gefray the
expense the state executive committee
will undoubtedly call the election. II
they do not volunteer the expense money
the election cannot be held as there is
no way of assessing the expense against
them, the law providing that only per
cent. of one years salary of al office
may be assessed against each candidate
for such office.
Personally the editor Of this paper
favors the primary for all nominations
and as prospective member Of the next
Legislature he would greatly prefer that
the matter be settled by direct vote of
the democratic electors of the state, bat
inquiry develops that sentiment in this
county is at present somewhat divided
on the subject. Some of our citizens
are very pronounced in favor of a pri-
mary election, while others seem to have
had a surfeit of politics and express
themselves as entirely willing to leave
the matter to the legislature. However,
when there has b ell more time for dis
cussIon Of the subject it is certain that
q large majority of the democrats of the
county will favor holding the primary.
This we say because Of the well known
fact that in THIS county the people gen.
orally are very jealous of their right to
nominate officers by popular vote and
have uniformly voted against every pro-
position for the holding of q convention.
With public sentiment so largely in
favor Of holding a primary to meet the
present situation, as it is sure to be
when the matter is fully understood,
there seems but one course open to the
state committee and that is to arrange
at once for holding the election. Moth
ing Of advantage to the party can be
gained by putting the matter off.

GREELEY PHYSICIAN
THREATENED BY FLAMES

DR.. c. II. Call, one of the best
known physicians in Greeley, had a
narrow escape from suffocation by
fire shortly after six O'Clock this
morning in his room over the .Jac-
obs market on Main street.
The sleeping physician was awak-
ened by the smell of smoke. 1t
was with considerable difficulty that
he made his way to the telephone
to notify the fire department and
after he had aroused them he could
not make himself understood. The
/ hremen were at a loss regarding the
real trouble until the telephone oper-
ator had told them the nature o.
the call that had come in from DR.
Cali
The chemical cart was hurried Il
the scene and when the tiremen ar
! rived the doctor was found in
dazeG condition He was assisted
into another room while the flames
which had by this time spread from
the bed to the walls, were eNtlh
guished by the fremen with chem
icals and water
4 The loss VII be approximately
500. The origin of the fire Is un'
Z known. though the theory OF the
department is that Dr.. Call may
have dropped some sparks from Q
I cigar while smoking in bed or have
Thrown lighted cigar or cigarette
on the floor.
DR.. Call recovered within few
hours from the effects of the smoke
that threatened to suffocate his life
A pet dog that was with HIM at the
time the fire broke out remained
in the room even after the hremen
were working and refused to leave
the place Al any time during the
excitement.
