contrary. There having been no ex-

and by their vote they can force me
in or force me out, and l will humbly
bow to their will whatever it may be.

to win by arraying, in a single in

strife and divide our people I APP

My race will be made on my own
merits, not seeking to run in on the

Vote for me for the senate, and then
for others as your conscience die

FOUND SsO,OOO.OO IN GOLD
North Carolina Man Publishes Re-
markabIe Statement. Says He
Has the Money. However,.


Thomas L. Rogers of High Point.
n. c., has published a statement to
the effect that he recently found $780,
900 in gold coin in what is known
as the Rock House cave on the Clinck
river, in Hancock county, Tennessee.
Rogers states that the Information
that such a sum of money was III the
cave was revealed to him in a dream.
AS he relates it, he went from his
North Carolina home to his child
hood home in Hancock county to eX
plore the cave, and with a lantern
made the exploration alone, and
found in a large chamber many feet
from the entrance an upturned ket-
tie, under which was stacked the
gold. Around the old kettle were
found rusty bayOnets, canteens and
other things indicating that the cave
was used as place of refuge during
the civil war Beside the kettle was
found the skeleton of a man, and
upon a slate stone slab nearby was
an inscription telling of the gold
and directing the finder to take
charge of the gold on condition that
he bury the body of the owner in a
designated spot on the summit of the
mountain in which the cave is To-
Gated.
Rogers says he complied with the
terms of the inscription, and left the
cave with the money in his posses

a sailor Next we see him as q roust-
about on a steamer on the st. Johns
river. He saved his money, bought
part interest in a steamboat and
struck out for himself. His splendid
fighting abilities were winning him
notice, the while his kindly DISPOSE
ton was winning him friends. He
was elected sheriff of Duval county,
a position he held nine years, and in
which he made a record which at
tracted attention to him from all
parts of the state.
As a Filibuster.
The exploit which made Broward
famous throughout the United States
and Cuba was his ability as block
ade runner to Cuba during the time
the insurgents were fighting the
Spaniards there previous to the
Spanish-American war. In company
with his brother and a third partner
Broward built stout, sea-going tug
for salvage, and wrecking work off
the Florida coast. He was ap-
preached by Cuban agents and asked
to run guns and munitions into Cuba.
The work was hazardous in the eX-
IRENE, but the pay was commensur-
ate with the risk, and BrOWard be-
came a filibuster. In all he made
eight trips from the Florida keys to
Cuba, and his perilOus adventures
and narrow escapes would make a
novel in themselves. He was chased
by Spanish gunboats, fought with
several of them and escaped capture
and death by hairs breadth scores
of times.
Elected Governor.
In 1903 Broward declared his in
tentiOn of making a fight for the
democratic nomination for governor. .
His cause looked like a forlorn hope, /
but BroWard was used to that, and
he plunged into the fight with an i'm
petuOsity which soon had the state
in ferment. His opponent was a
5hrewd politician, backed by the rail
roads and other big corporations. and .
ne looked like a sure winner. How /
ever, BrOward went among the plain .
people. He talked to them in a .
language they understood, and he
gave them heart to heart talks. He
old them the Everglades could be
reclaimed, and that a man could hold
political office and still be honest.
The people knew that this big-lion-
hearted filibuster never broke his
word, and they nominated him and
alter elected him governor, and he
,arried out every promise he made.
After retiring from the office of gov
srnOr Broward engaged in the real
estate business. Now he is going to

War Between America and Japan
Certain, Says British Naval Expert
Mr. Gerard Fiennes Asserts Oriental
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, andW Be Ready Before 1915

Mr.. Gerard Fiennes, England's
naval expert, writing Of the proba-
bility of naval war, says;
More dangerous still, the Japan
csc are full of contempt for Aneri-
can brag and bounce-for the lack of
national spirit, or even of true ma
tionality, which they discern in the
Americans. They have a profound
disbelief in the war worthiness of
the American navy, and an acute re-
alization of the fact that the STRAIT
egical situation is overwhelmingly in
their favor. 1t is objected that the
Japanese are too poor to fight.
When will people recognize the fact
which all history teaches-that it is
the poor nations, not those who have
grown rich and comfortable, which
fight? The Prussia of Frederick the
Great, the France of Napoleon, were
poor.
1t ought to be so obvious as not
to need saying that it is the nation
which hopes to gain something, not
the nation which is tempted to war.
Japan is rich enough to afford war,
because, directly or indirectly, she
will make war pay for itself.
1T is, furthermore, a profound
mistake to suppose that the Japan
csc look upon war in the same light
that we do, or profess to do, when
the result may be doubtful and the
material gain not great They do
lip service to the aspiration after
peace, but in their hearts they re-
gard war as cleansing, antiseptic-
much as RuSkin regarded it, Not
only in its results, but in itself, war
is to them, or at any rate to the
classes who hold the reIns of power,
a blessing rather than a curse.
Desire War For Glory.
In land where the proudest ann
bition of every man is to die for his
emperor, where every mother ardent
| ly desires that glorious fate for her
son, there is no thought of stricken
| homes to turn the wavering scale in
| favor of peace. The difference be-
tween America and Japan is the diff
| ference between HObson and Hirose.
! The former returned in safety
thanks to the chivalry of Ceryera, to
which he did not hesitate to appeal
and was kissed by every girl in New
York who could get at him; they
buried the small fragment of the lat
ter that was found, amid the aCcla-
nation and the envy of a nation.
Japan and America.
Japan will in the last ANALYSIS,
fight the United States very much for
the reason that prompted Bismarck
to fight France. The war, that is to
say, will be war of consolidation
