ESPECIAL INTEREST"
TODEfEAT NOMINEE s

A dispatch from West Palm Beach,
says: For many years Dade County
has had the reputation of always taking
first place when it came to the point of
a political fight or political turmoil.
Not so very long ago Dade County was
divided, the northern half constituting
what is now known as Palm Beach Coun-
". 1t would seem that the lessons
learned in infancy are not forgotten,
even though maturer years have come.
The mere matter of the changing Of a
name has not killed the old instinct for
a political scrap. Hence the action
Thursday at an independent convention
held in this city of the placing in the
field of an Independent ticket TO enter
the contest at the November election
against the regular nominee elected IN
the last Democratic primary.
1t has been known for some time that
considerable dissatisfaction has been
felt in Palm Beach County at the out
come of the primary and it is therefore
not a matter of such great surprise that
active opposition has developed. At
the, convention Thursday, H. B. Saun-
ders was nominated to oppose Guy Met
caK for County Clerk. and W. M. Wild
den will run for sheriff against Capt.
George B. Baker. C. G. Mast, of Boyn-
ton, a promH1ent citizen and farmer,
was put up against Jack Mckenna for
tax assessor. Mast and Whidden are
Republicans and Saunders is Democrat.
E. E. Geer will run against j. r. Weir
for County Commissioner.
A full ticket was put into the field
both for county and precinct officers but
the other nominations were of minor
Importance. The outcome of the fight
in Palm Beach County on November
the eighth will command much interest.

COMMEMORATE SPOT
OF DADE'S MASSACRE

Endorsing the suggestion of the Lees
burg Commercial that our congressman
and senators secure an appropriation to
mark the scene of Dade's massacre,
the Ocala Star gives the story of the
tragic and thrilling event in the follow
ing concise and interesting manner:
Dade's massacre took place Deem
Der 20, 1885. and of the entire command
only two escaped. 1t was one of the
most shocking tragedies in the history
of Indian warfare. Major Dade with
one hundred and thirty-nine men and
one field piece started to Fort King
(Ocala) and where the road was skirted
by the low palmetto he was fired upon
by the Seminoles from ambush and half
of his command fell. Hastily throwing
up breastworks the remaining half en-
gagged the Indians, but in the unequal
battle that followed all of Dade's men
persisted with the exceptions noted.
Rawson Clark, although badly wounded,
got back to Tampa, soldier named
Thomas brbe1 an Indian who allowed
him to escape.
Dade's command consisted entirely of
regular troops and the massacre was
due to the treachery of negro guide
named Lewis, who was engaged to d.
rect the troops to their destination. In
this case their destination was death
Lewis advised Micanopy and his warri-
ors of the approach Of Major Dade and
his command, settled upon the place of
rendezvous and attack. and upon the
first volley being fired he escaped in the
confusion to the Seminoles and assist
ed them in the slaughter that followed
BY trick of fate or fortune Lewis
treychery was somehow over looked,
and he was afterwards sent to Arkansas,
where he liv d and, strangely enough.
died natural death.
News of the massacre was known in
st. Augustine the day after it took place,
the information having been carried by
Indian runners From circumstances
attending this melancholy tragedy proof
Is convincing that Dade was the victim
of a conspiracy and wanton treachery,
and while officers and men fought brave
ly the command was anrihilated.

to per cent. Census officials see il
the contrast cause for alarm in this
country similar to that which confronts
France. They say that at this rate OF
decrease the native population vii
show an actual falling off before the
time for taking another national CEN
sus.
Such growth as the country has en-.
joyod in the last ten years has been
largely from immigration, according to
these returns. The vital statistics of
immigrants do not, of course, enter in
to the general findings in this respect.
They bear in an important way upon
them, however, considering that immi-
grants may be classed as natives after
ten years; and the general tendency to
apply to them beyond that period as
well as to those of older residence.
There was a gross population in 1900
of 76, 00O,0 900. The present estimated
total is 100000 Out of the Ia, 600, :
900 increase, 5000, 900 came from immi.
grafton. This makes 100000 as the
natural increase from those who were
in the country in 1900.
Increases of natives from 1920 until
1880 ranged from IS per cent, to 90 per
cent, from 1890 to 1900. The average
increase exclusive of immigrants was
81 per cent. There were 5000, 900
more of American birth in 1910 then in
1900 against II, 900, 900 more in 1900 than
in 1890.
Another remarkable showing of the
present census is the growth of cities
at the expense of rural districts. Many
of the smaller cities show increases
above 80 per cent. For example, At
lanta shows 70; East St. Louis. 81;
Akron, 81, and Detroit, 60.
About 40 per cent of the population
is city dwelling. Returns from rural
districts are not yet ready for tabulation.
but so far as they have been examined
they show, save in two states where
local conditions account for an increase,
positive falling off from the population
Of 1900.
Averages calculated from rural dis
tricts taken at random figure out de.
crease of about II per cent. With the
cities absorbing the immigrant popula-
tion and drawing also from the country
and with rapid decline in internal in
crease, the statisticians think the pre-
dlction reasonable that the next census
must depend on immigration for such
increase as it may furnish in population.

ture which we have on practically all

chlef causes why we suffer so Sc
Verely from dry periods when they
do occur; for unquestionably, land
which is well drained or is never too
wet for any considerable length of
time withstands dry weather best.
Where Understanding is Needed.
Practically all level lands would
be improved by understanding, and
much of the rolling lands would be
benefited almost as much by under
drains that would help to carry off
water, thereby reducing the quantity
which now goes off over the surface.
Moderate rainfalls may be absorbed
by soil well filled with humus, and
II 1t be tiled or under-drained, it will
take in, and properly dispose of,
much greater quantity, but both these
are needed, as also is probably
every additional aid obtainable, to
take care OF the torrential and con-
tinuous rains which we sometimes
have. The handling of the water
which falls on our soils is much
more important problem than South
ern farmers have yet realized. Too
much of these heavy rainfalls now
goes of over the surface, carrying

ticles; while still further destruction

for that one purpose, and when they
finally succeeded in completing the
course, have found themselves able
to earn two or three times as much
as they could before. No money is
better spent, even from a purely bus
mess standpoint, than that spent for
an education.
The short courses in agriculture,
of which editorial mention was made
last week, offer a great opportunity
to many boys who are unable to
take a full college course, but who
wish to prepare themselves better
for their life work. Last year in
Wisconsin 900 young and old farm

by the State University; and there
should be two or three hundred boys
in every Southern State getting ready
right now to take the same such
course this winter
