This statement, presented with
calculating premeditation. for the
purpose of misleading, is as false as
it is contemplate, and Mr.. Cooper
must produce his proof or stand
branded as a falsitier.
| Equally untrue is this statement:
1T was on election morning, a cold
and crisp January morning, when
over $50 white voters got the icy
deal and were turned shivering from
the polls under the gHIlotine edict
OF Grosjean, Hall, Jack & Co., which
was: You can't yote--yOu have reg
lstered within 30 days and although
you are guilty of only trivial tech
nica1ity in registration, we, Of our
own accord, and without the sane
ton OF the courts, hereby declare
you white voters disfranchised,'
and the prohibition commissioners
followed the order for disfranGhise-
ment, and administered merciIessly
on the white voter-the grizzled
anti veteran and the sfaIwart anti,
and in that unfair way won the eIec-
tion."
The truth is that at this election
whoever could not vote were dis
qualified by their failure or neglect
to comply with the requirements of
the law.
It was never believed until now
that Levi Cooper could ever engage
in grand stand play for the gal
lery, especially when the saloon and
all its debasing influence is the is
sue, but the explanation is, unques-
tionably, that as the chairman Of the
I executive committee Of the Regulat-
ed License League he must do some
thing and say something to bolster
the fight for the saloon.
In his address so the fair minded
people of Gaddo parish" Mr.. Cooper
indulges in a reference to the Police
Jury, which is puerile, and as it is of
no personal concern to me will go
unnotiCed.
It would seem that the offending
of the Caucasian lies in the editorial
of May 25, in which the attempted
disfranehisement of old citizens and
Confederates was denounced as ''it
was one of the most filthy and most
dastardly, mean and contemplate
tricks ever attempted in Gaddo par
ish." This statement is reiterated
with the fullest of emphasis, and is
sustained by the record Of facts
which are disputed only by the
over-zealous of the saloonites. Here
follows the record abbreviated:
The first move to the purging Of
the registration roll was by the Pros,

A WARNING
Do Not Attempt 1.-THE Scheme
Will Not Be TOlerated-Be Wise
and Conservative.

1t is believed, and the information
obtained is apparently authentic,
that it is planned by the saIoonites
TO follow the WOmen's and children's
parade next Wednesday afternoon
with a display on wagons of beer
kegs. If this be true, and it may be
true, at least it is believed that a
burlesque is being planned, we
would advise in all earnestness that
it be not carried into effect, at least
not while the women and the chill
dren are parading or Immediately
after or following this parade.
Warning is given that any such
attempt will be construed and &C
cepted as derision, an indirect if
not direct insult to the women of
the Prohibition League, and will be
resented promptly and radically if
necessary.
1t is very true that the saloonites
who may be planning this demon
stration of beer kegs may be so
privileged according to their under
standing of what is styled personal
liberty, but such personal liberty
when insulting to others in the en-
joyment Of their personal liberty
will be checked summarily.
We utter no threats, but a warn
ing, which it is hoped will be under
stood.
If the salooAites wish to have a
parade with beer kegs or Whiskey
barrels, tWo-legged demijohns, Iop-
sided whiSkey jugs or other attrac-
tions5 it is within their personal lih-
erty and their personal privileges
to have it, but they are warned to
not meddle with the Woman's Pro
hibition League parade next We'd

CONFEDERATE VETERANS
With Battle Tags, Shot and Torn by
Shot and Shell, VIII Parade Next
wednesday Afternoon With the
Women's Prohibition League and
the Children.

The Confederate Veterans will
parade with the Woman's Prohibi-
ton League on next Wednesday
Fevening, May 81
The Confederate Veterans of to-
day, With some exceptions. are now
as they have always been in the
fight for the right.
Today as in the days when brave
men were slain by thousands on
battle fields, and today, as in the
days when Confederate Veterans
stood resolutely and defantly
against the plundering hordes dur
ing the era of Reconstruction and
redeemed the State from its shame
and established the State govern
ment under which we live, the same
Confederate soldiers will protect the
women and the children, now as in
the past.
It is because the voices of the
women and the children, all our
kindred and loved ones, nave been
heard that the Gonfederates are re-
spending to their appeal for help,
when their homes and their firesides
are threatened with an enemy more
formidable than gatling guns and
swords and rifles with bayonets, an
enemy in many disguises, having lit
tie respect for women and children
for churches and ministers, for any
law which would restrain the evil,
in money-making.
Every Confederate Veteran who
would participate in this parade is
invited to report at the headquar-
tiers ii the basement Of the court
house at $50 o'clock next Wednes-
day, May 81.

IN THE SAME CLASS

Under the head of the "Flagler of
the West Coast" the Jacksonville
Metropolis has the following interest
ing tribute to Mrs. Potter Palmer,
which so resembles what might be
said of our own Mrs. M. o. Terry,
who is doing a work in Fort Myers
equally as great. The article reads:
Mrs. Potter Palmer and her fother,
Judge H. H. Honore, spent yester-
day in this city. They were the
guests of the Windsor hotel, and were
enroute to Mrs. Palmer's winter
home at Osprey, on Sarasota Bay,
where Mrs. Palmer will superintend
the expenditure of 100000 in beauti
flying her magnificent home in the
southern part of the state.
Mrs. Palmer spends large part Of
each winter in the southern part of
the state, and it is her intention to
make her home one of the most attrac-
tive in Florida. Her plans embrace
sunken gardens and many other
things new in this section. Recently
purchased, the Palmer estate con-
tains about 10000 acres about Sara
sofa bay, and winter colony of
wealthy people will be developed
there.
Mrs. Potter Palmer is one of the
leading figures in American life. She
is native of Kentucky, and mar
ried Potter Palmer of Chicago, IN
1871, who died May 4, 1902. She be-
came a recognized social leader soon
after she took up her residence in
Chicago, and in 1891 was elected
president of the board of lady mana
gers of the Chicago exposition, visit
ing foreign governments in the inter
est of the fair. She was appointed by
the president as the only lady mem
Der of the commission for the Paris
exposition of 1900 and has been
awarded the much coveted Legion Of
Honor.-Fort Myers Press.

Mr.. FRED DeBERRY'S WILSON
CAMPAIGN SONG MAKING
ZIG HIT

The song recently written by Mr.. J.
Fred DeBerry of this city, entitled,
when Woodrow Wilson Takes His
Seat" and which was printed in this
paper several months ago, is now go
ing the rounds of the press all over
the country, and is making quite a
hit. A recent issue of the Camden
IN. j. Post Telegram says that E. E.
Grosscup, chairman of the state dem
ocratic executive committee, has is
sued the song as campaign docu-
ment and is making 10000 copies of
the song for campaign purposes. The
Post Telegram says that Governor
Wilson does not approve of "The
Beautiful Isle of Somewhere" as he
thinks the words are silly, but he does
put his o. K. upon the f1amboyant
production of Mr.. J. Fred DeBerry.
Mr.. DeBerry has received several
complimentary letters from both Gov
ernor Wilson and Mr.. Grosscup.

FRANK HARRIS CANDIDACY

Hon. Frank Harris. editor OF The
Ocala Banner, and Nestor of the Flor
ida press, has for some time past
been urged by Floridians and friendly
newspapers to make the race for gov
ernor in the coming primaries, and it
is rumored that he will do so. In fact,
it is said that business friends who
seldom play political roles have been
so insistent in their demands that the
veteran journalist make the race that
he has found it practically impossible
to refuse their pleas.
That Mr.. Harris would make a
strong race and honor the high office
in case of election, is well known to
all who have the pleasure of his :: c.
ouaintance. He not only knows the
needs of Florida thoroughly, but has
demonstrated in many years past that
his desire is to see those needs met.
He is a Chesterfeldian gentleman,
and his integrity is above question.
His entrance into the contest will I'M
doubtedly add to it's interest.-Jack-
sonville Metropolis.

WHAT EDISON SAW

Mr.. Edison has returned from his
tour of Europe, delighted to be home
again, and with the conviction that
no foreign land can compare with
America. However he found several
things in Europe better than the cor
responding things of this country
and is frank to tell of them.
First among the matters of his
concentration are the highways of
France. 81 have travelled over more
than 1000 miles of French roads, y
said he, and less than three miles
were bad There was not a rut more
than two inches deep" 1t is doubt
miles of good roads in this country
that has not more than one rut in it
from two to ten inches deep, but it
will not always be thus. A country
that outstrips all other countries in
other things will not long remain the
laggard in regards to good roads.
The question is live one and will
not be downed. All the agitation we
are having here and elsewhere will
result in better roads and finally in
good roads. 1t took these old countries
much longer time to get them than
it will we Americans; but that they
finally secured them should be an
evidence to us that the sooner we get
them the better for us.-Bartow Rec

EDITOR JORDAN ON HOLDING
AND RUNNING FOR OFFICE

In a letter announcing that he is
not a candidate for congressman-at-
large, Editor A. P. Jordan assigns
several reasons that make his candi-
dacy impossible, but the principal one
is the following:
"The most important reason for my
keeping out Of the race is my defer
ence to the general public view that
it is unseemly for man who holds
an office that. requires him to be con-
stantly travelling at the expense Of
the state to use his position and its
advantages in campaigning for anoth-
er office. Conduct of this nature has
subjected several better men than me
to severe criticism

WANAMAKER ON BUSINESS CON.
DITIoNS

In the course of an address in Phil
adelphia on Saturday John Wanana-
ker, the greatest retain merchant in
this country, predicted that the trusts
would adjust themselves to the de-
cision of the supreme court, and that
then there would come period of
great prosperity. In the course of
his address he said: Now, with lit
tie patience, time and fairness all the
great trusts will conform to the laws
on the statute books as understood
by the highest tribunal of the govern
ment of the United States. am
sure the day is at hand when any
man or set of men doing business
contrary to existing statutes, when
such is proved to them without ami
mostly or unnecessary haste or need
less expense. will set their houses in
proper order. For this reason l be-
lieve we are on the eve of new era
of better, safer and steadier prosper
Gus business"
The hope is general that Mr.. Wana-
maker is right in the view he express
es. Several of the great trusts, since
the decision in the Standard Oil ca Sc,
have announced their purpose to vol
unfairly reorganize so as to conform
to the law, and there are others that
are only waiting for the outcome in
the steel trust case.
The latter is looked upon as a sort
of test case under the supreme courts
Interpretation of the law, since that
trust insists that it is acting in con-
formity with the law. The result in
that case will clear away whatever
uncertainty there is as to what is a
good and what a bad trust. When
the line of distinction is made clear
so clear that there can be no quib-
bling about 1.-THE trusts, in all prob
ability, will at once put themselves
clearly within the law If Mr. Wanna
maker is right, then we shall enter
upon period of prosperity, better,
safer and steadier prosperity, than
the country has known for a long
time.-Savannah News.

The LONGEST MAN.FLIeHr.

one or the least talked-of but most
remarkable exploits of the year is the
air voyage of C. P. Rodgers. who sail
ed from New York some forty DAYS
ago. bound for the PACING coast. His
Ararat he has not yet reached, but he
mas achieved nearly twenty-four hun
ureu miles, more than two-thirds of
the Journey, thus advancing the
worlds record of long-distance aero
plane flight, and in the teeth of innu-
merable dangers he has set a new
record of hardihood and skill in ayia-

real travel from somewhere to some
wnere." 1t is undertaken in the. spir-
1t OF the old navigators, and it's re-
suits will be more valuable and slim
ulating than would whole decade of
aeroplane feats and games.
To cross the continent in an airship
ship has become the one great dream
OF American birdmen. During the
latter days of summer a number of
them Jared forth to win this fame. the
majority of them starting eastward
from California. Rodgers, however,
is the only aspirant still on the wing.
He has held to his course despite all
the difficulties that wind and rain,
forest and river and mountain could
bring to bear. On Saturday last he
had reached Ell Paso, Tex, and now
he is forging on across the corner of
New Mexico, whence he will press
forward above Arizona and finally he
hopes, on to San Francisco and the
continents rim
His route has been rather a cir
cuitous one, having led him thus far
through Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Oklahoma and Texas. He is
more interested, however, in arriving
than in making speed and in winning
acclamations from big cities along the
way. Even should he be compelled
to bide the return of mild weather
conditions until next spring and aft
er such delay-reach his goal, he
would still have accomplished mem
orable task. 1t now seems likely,
however, that he will spend Thanks
giving on the western coast.-Atlanta

FEDERAL AID FOR ROADBUILD-
ING

Sentiment has become universal in
favor of good roads, and it is unlikely
that there is any one subject upon
which so many American people are
OF one accord. Community roadbuild-
ing, county roadbuilding, and state
roadbuilding are being rapidly carried
on and the question of federal aid to
building highways across the CONT
nent, from the east to the west and
from the north to the south, is one
that will not down. 1t will merely
mean wait of few years at the
most until congress appropriates
large sums. for roadbuilding, just IS
it appropriates money for waterway
improvement.
During the Glidden tour, in one of
his speeches, Col. Frank Harris said
that not a man could be elected to
congress from Florida who was not
in favor of federal aid to build nation
al highways He was probably cor
rect in his statement and the same
would be true in practically every
state in the union.
Maybe this will come before The
next congress, and with the endorse
ment of the people of nearly all of
the states it ought to go through
without any fight being made against
it. Senator Bryan hooted at the idea
several months ago, but he has prob
ably learned better by this time
