"REslGN BEFORE RUNNING

Attorney General Park Trammell,
candidate for governor, talks politics
at the Interstate Fair, Pensacola,
while former Governor William S.
Jennings alone represents Florida in
suit involving 100000 acres of
land. Does Mr.. Trammell believe
another man should be paid to do his
work while he is campaigning, or
while he is campaigning? The
truth of the matter is that Mr. Jen-
nings, who owns much Everglades
land, has looked after nearly all, if
not all, litigation with reference to the
Everglades. Is this fair to the peo-
pie of Florida?
The Metropolis has been subjected
to some criticisms by people interest
ed in the sale of Everglades lands,
because the circular letter criticising
the drainage report, published in last
Fridays issue, was written by Drain
age Chief G. J. Elliott, and not by
Major j. O. Wright formerly employed
by the government under Mr.. Elliott,
but afterwards employed by the
state, at a greatly increased salary to
look after the Everglades work. The
fact that the circular letter was is
sued by Chief Elliott seems to give
it more force, especially in view of
the fact that Major Wright after
ward secured much better berth
with the state. Truly, the angles of
this Everglades deal grow daily more
interesting and perplexing.-Metrop-

THE PROPER SPIRIT

The large and decisive vote by
which the people of Pinellas county
signified their desire to set up house
keeping for themselves is something
of a surprise to the Times. This pa
per disapproves the movement, out
admits the entire right of that COM
mnity to desire and bring about the
independence they have achieved
With us there is no i'll feeling, no re-
tain such proper harmony and con-
cord between Hillsborough and Pr
nellas counties as will best promote
the interests of both. Those inter
ests will remain largely identical,
Notwithstanding the new political,
boundary lines, and The Times will
say now that it hopes to see the right
feeling prevail on both sides the line
AS two counties the territory will
influence than as one, and it should
be the case that such representation
and such influence should be always
in perfect amity, accord and alliance
1t shall not be the fault of The Times
if such should happen not to be the
case. 1t may, in passing, that it
thinks it best that no straw should
be laid by Hillsborough people in the
way of the Pinellas people in their
further proceedings to manage their
affairs in their own way-Tampa

Peter j. Siemens and Pastor Klass
K. Esau, of the Mennoite church st
Omsk, Siberia, have arrived in New
York the purpose of their visit to this
country being to study farming con-
ditions preparatory to bringing a
group of one hundred and fifty per-
sons to settle in this country. The
south should have agents in New
York city to interview persons of this
kind so as to present the claims and
conditions of this section to them
The World describes these gentlemen
as sturdy looking men with heavy,
reddish boards. They said through
to America. We moved to Omsk
from southern Russia twelve years
ago. That was a great change of
climate, and our attention being di-
rected to the United States, we de-

here. We go first to Fairview, Okla,

pect to enjoy the religious freedom
that is impossible in Russia. We will
make good citizens too, because we
are religious, law abiding and more
prosperous that the ordinary immi-
grant
The pastor has eight children, and
Mr.. Siemens modestly acknowledged
that he counts fourteen heads around
his table, including his wifes.
There are many Mennoite colonies

OH! THAT 'PossUM!
O the Editor Ocala Banner:

To the Editor Ocala Banner:
You led the Tampa Times to quote
me as saying something l did not say.
1t was you who said something about
possum meat hung on spit. Now to
save all further Interpretations let me
give you the "Old Plantation" recipe
for preparing and roasting a possum.
Old Uncle Toms way.
First, catch your possum, a noun
tain possum fattened on chestnuts, or
a low country possum fattened on per-
simmons after frost has fallen, pre-
ferred. Them after he-I mean he
has been nicely cleaned and dressed,
salt him and hang him up for two
days and smoke him with oak or
hickory smoke. Then par-boil him
until he is done, but not enough to
make his flesh leave his bones. Then
place him in a large baking pan and
rub him over well with pulverized
red pepper-not that bought from the
grocery, but pods which have been
raised in the garden and dried Peal
a lot of small sweet potatoes and
split in half and lay the halves all
around the possum in the baxing-pan
and place him in the oven of the
stove and brown him slowly until the
potatoes are done. The baking pro
cess must be slow and the potatoes
not too large, or else the possum will
brown too much before they are done
No butter dressing down" is necess
airy, as the possum if he is in the
right keller will furnish all the dress
ing sauce that is necessary Every
once in awhile he is roasting, let
some of his own sauce be dipped up
and dropped over the potatoes.
Now there you are! That is pos.
sum la Plantation when l was a lad
''befo de wah!" Now get the right
kind and fix him up as above, and
when l sit down to make his acquaint-
ance, don't want anybody to ring the
door bell. Yours for such a feast,

FLOYD-THE SWEET SINGER

The Tampa Tribune, copying ex
tracts from Hon. c. H. B. Floyds
article on the bachelorhood of Gov.
ernor Gilchrist, says:
Right merrily does C. H. B. Floyd
the prose-poet of Florida, the gifted
wizard of the flowery pen, resume
his meditations and rhapsodies on
things Floridian. And the latest from
this genius, whom the Tribune has
unhesitatingly declared the best word,
painter in the state today, is one CT
the best that has yet flowed from his
agile brain. He talks of the COVER
nor of Florida, in his capacity as a
more or less lonely bachelor, and
urges him with all the power of his
rhetoric and imagery, to quit the
dreary single state and take unto
himself wife
Florida is and should be proud of a
son so eloquent-and if this superb
appeal of Floyds doesn't set the gov
ernor thinking of orange blossoms
and golden circlets and strains of
"Lohengrin,"' we miss our guess!"
The Ocala Banner is one of the few
papers in Florida that has reproduced
in it's columns Mr.. Floyd's extraordin-
airy productions. 1t early discovered
the genius that inspired them.

cHAUFFEURs' EYEsIGHT

Our lawmakers seem to have
strangely overlooked the need for
legislation requiring the possession of
eyesight in automobile drivers. The
driver of railroad locomotive must
have god eyesight, while the ne
tionally good eyesight, while the ne
cessity for such strict requirements
are by no means obvious in the care
of the driver of a railroad engine as
in that the chauffeur The chauf-
feur has many difficulties with which
to contend and must always be on the
qui vive; yet, according to Dr. Blake,
there is not single state in the union
which demands that people who run
automobiles shall have a visual acuity
of, say, one-half the normal average
AT the present time the insurance
companies afford our best protection,
since they will not grant insurance to
a man whose occupation is that of a
chauffeur and who has poor eyes,

"The Florida Synodical Orphans

than $4,000. The Synod appointed a
special committee to take it ovec for
the purpose given. Second, the SITS

tee of the Thornwell Orphanage, at
Charleston, S. c., especially that of
Col. John J. Eagan, of Atlanta, Ca,
that tie orphanage had more than
$4,000 endowment and was thus more
than ever able to do the great work
which has made the place famed.

THE SOUL

As some mysterious wanderer of the
skies,
Emerging from the deeps of outer
dark,
Traces for once in human ken the
arc
Of this stupendous curve, then
swiftly flies
Out through some orbit yelled in
space which lies,
Where no Imagination may en-
bark
Some onward-reaching track that
God did mark
For all eternity beneath his eyes
So comes the soul forth from crea.
tons vast;
So clothed with mystery moves
mortal sight;
Then sinks away into the Great I'm
known.
What system it hath seen in all the
past,
What worlds shall blaze upon it's
future flight
Thou knowest, eternal God, and thou
alone!

POSTOFFICE ROBBED AT STAND
ARD

About three o'clock yesterday after
noon some one entered the postoffice
at Standard and took all the cash in
the drawer, besides a few stamps
Mr.. e. A Withers, who is post
master, is also agent for the Seaboard
railroad at Standard. During the
afternoon he had occasion to go to the
depot to deliver shipment of freight
to Mr.. NJ. Bitch, and it was while
he was thus engaged that some per-
son or persons entered the office by
rear window an robbed the place of
all cash in sight.
The robber had evidently secreted
himself under the building awaiting
just such an opportunity, as there
was no one in sight of the building
when Mr.. Withers left the office. .
The sheriff was notified of the rob-
berry Immediately by telephone an Of
fcers are now endeavoring to round
UP the guilty parties. AT last ac-
counts there was absolutely no clue
as to who committed the robbery.
Later.
We were informed over the tele-
phone from Dunnellon that the party
who broke into the postoffice at
Standard, was caught about three
hours afterwards by Marshall S. M.
c. Thomas, of Dunnellon. He recover
til but 5000. and few stamps.
