an idle dream, for now the cold and
frigid hand of fate has plucked and
robbed me of my treasures. Leaves
one by one withered and dead, and
now nothing but the smeared sharp
thorns remain, and each in their turn
pierces my poor heart in mockery for
my blindness and presumption.

WILL MAKE THE SOUTH THE
HEALTHIEsT PORTION OF
AMERICA

What improved methods of SANTA
ton will accomplish was strongly
shown by Caspar Whitney in the re-
cent issue of Golfers Weekly. Writ
ing of Cuba once fever-stricken and
an object of fear for all who valued
their lives, he showed that its present
death-rate of 1876 per thousand is
lower than that of the United States
or any European country, the average
death-rate in the United States being
80 per cent higher or 1872 per thous-
and. All of which goes to show that
by keeping up the fight against our
great preventable diseases-tubercul-
osis, malaria, typhoid, and hook-worm
disease-we could make our own
southern states, which are more adj
vantageously situated than Cuba, not
only as healthful as any other section
of the United States, but very much
more healthful than any other section.
In recent address in the house of
representatives Congressman Rams
dell, of Louisiana, speaking of the
health of the south, was interrupted
by Congressman Goulden, who point
ed out that whereas twenty-five years
ago insurance companies objected to
risks in southern cities, there is now
no discrimination whatever against
the south.
The simple truth is as Surgeon
General Wyman of the United States
Public Health and Marine Service de-
clared to the Southern Commercial
Congress, that while neglect of sani-
Itary precautions may be more hurt
full in the south than elsewhere, the
general observance of health rules
will accomplish even more hre than
elsewhere.
We can't afford to let the Cubans
beat us. If they have reduced their
death-rate to 1876 per thousand as
against 1872 for the United States as
a whole, then we in the south ought
to do better still. But to do this we
must recognize the fact that neglect
of sanitary precautions is really more
serious in the south than elsewhere,
and we must not only learn and
Ipractice individually the best medical
principals of hygiene, sanitation, and
Temperance, but we must double the
appropriations and the moral support
given our state, county and munich
pal health officers.-Raleigh IN. CO.

THE SENATORIAL RACE

Editor McCreary. of the Gaines
vile Sun, who was a stauncn support,
er of John N. c. Stockton in the first
primary, is now on the Blount band
wagon and is bending every effort to
elect the popular Pensacolian in the
second primary He has the following
the recent primary:
Every friend of John Stockton
should vote for w. A. Blount for
United States senator in the second
primary on January 31st No man
was ever so badly treated politically
as Mr.. Stockton has been by the
very men who owe their present po-
litical prominence to his efforts. They
have never given him a square deal
invariably stacking the cards on him,
and his friends should now give it to
the Jacksonville ring just where the
chicken got the axe.
The result of the recent primary
was indeed great surprise and a
keen disappointment to the support
ers of Mr.. Stockton throughout the
state When you take into consider
alton the fact that Mr.. Stockton was
opposed by one of the most powerful
political machines in the state, the
result is not so surprising. The voters
turned down a true and sincere friend
of the masses, for had Mr.. Stockton
been elected he would have fulfilled
every pledge. The Jacksonville ring,
when they discovered they could not
handle" Stockton to suit their own
connvience and that he was opposed
to a select few controlling the politi-
cal situation of the state, set the ma
chine to work and accomplished his
defeat The people were the losers.
The indications now are that the west
Florida will have the honor OF pro-
ducing our next United States sena-
tor in the person of Hon. w. A.
Blount, of Pensacola.
With the magnificent lead Mr..
Blount received in the first primary it
would seem an unnecessary expense
to hold second primary for he only
came within a few numbered votes of
securing majority over both oppon-
ents. Mr.. Bryan can never expect OF
secure the Stockton support and a
second primary will only prolong the
agony for a few more days with the
same result that was attained in the
f1rts primary.-Citrus County Chroni-
