The attendance of the dressed T
women at the Longacre Athletic club
to witness Gus Ruhling and Tom
pummel each other is not
an edifying certification of serious
ness. If a lot of WORKOUT old prize
pugs must be employed to prance
around in a bloody ring for the adj
of the suffrage cause,
then the cause must be in a bad way.
And it may be observed also that Mrs.
Gus Rubin is not of sufficient social
prominence to add much relief to
the character of such an exhibition.
The whole proceeding was disgust

suffrage.

stocks during the week We're princi-
pally the reflection of professional
operations. Bull traders conducted a
number of successful campaigns, but
in each instance the advances We're
followed by reactions and no well sus-
tanned support was given. The copper
stocks, after a long period of depres-
sion on account of poor trade condi-
lions, became active in speculation ow-
ing to advancing prices of the metal
and the increased demand Declara-
ton of extra dividends on various
southern railway stocks led to active
trading in these stocks at rising prices.
The heavy outflow of gold contin-

on the money market, despite the fact
that within a week preparations must
be made for December 1 interest and

showed increasing confidence and a
more active demand, with continue

Some of the Kansas club women
are working on plan to give the
merchants of the various Kansas
towns rating as to affability and
honesty in business. The merchants
have a rating card for their Gus
toners. a man who pays his bills
promptly is in Glass A One who pays,
but is a little slow, is in Class B. One
who pays finally, but does it on the
installment plan and only after much
urging, gets into Glass G, while the
''deadbeats' are labelled Glass D.
The women believe that, since many
merchants exchange ratings on Gus
toners, they have a right to ask their
friends to furnish them a rating on the
merchants themselves. and it is pro-
posed that the women publish pam
phlets about the merchants of each
town.
The women purpose to list all mer-
chants who deliver goods just as adj
vertised, who are just as careful in fill
ing d telephone order as if the goods
were purchased in person. should be
listed as Glass A. Glass B would in
clude those merchants who always de-
livered the goods they advertised and
who tried to please their customers, !
even if they We're handling a slightly
inferior grade of goods than some
other merchant.
Glass c merchants would be those
who treated their customers in a gruff
manner. Merchants whose EN- ployees |
were Indifferent to the customers and
those merchants who tried substitution
or sent out unsuitable goods at first /
class prices and then refused to ad |
just the differences would be put into
Class d.
It is not purported to make this list
a statewide affair, but the club wo-
men in each town are to submit re-
ports of what class they believe each |
M erchant in their home town should
be in. No detective work is to be
done The women themselves would
gather the material for making up the
classification. and club women would |
receive whatever benefits would come
from the lists.

THE TRIAL OF JUDGE JOSEPH
BELL

Hon. Joseph Bell, judge of the coun-
ty court, was arraigned in the circuit
court Wednesday afternoon charged
with "extortion." He entered a plea
of mot guilty" His attorneys were
Messrs. r. L. Anderson. H. NJ. Hamp-
ton, Raymond B. Bullock and Carlos
L. Sistrunk.
The following are the names of the
jurors in the case: Messrs. Homer Ag-
new, ]. A. Freeman, G. w. Ray, j. D.
Williams, Tilden ellis and H. T. Nor
ris.
The case failed to go before the jury
on its merits, as flaw was discovered
in the indictment in that the state at
torney had failed to give the date
when the alleged offense was commit
ted, so Judge Bullock instructed the
jury to return verdict of mot guilty
There. is still another count to the
indictment, and if it contains the same
omission the case will end in the same
way.

DEATH OF SENATOR ELMNs

After long illness, in which he
literally starved to DEATH, Senator
Stephen B. Elkins of West Virginia
died at his home in washington City
at midnight Of January 4th. He was
the son-in-law of Hon. Henry CASA
way Davis, who was the democratic
nominee for vice president on the
ticket with Mr.. Bryan in 1900. Mr..
Elkins was popular as a senator and
was a favorite with both republicans
and %s#hocrats With the assistance
of hi& father-in-law he built up large
business in developing the coal and
iron interests of West Virginia, and
was very wealthy man. 1t was his
daughter that the newspapers have
announced as being engaged to the
Duke Of Abruzzi, and while the prom
inence given to the affair caused the
senator much embarrassment he new.
er indicated it by his manner, and,
while denying the stories, always
spoke of the young Italian in praise
Mr.. Elkins was born in Ohio, and
in the early period of his manhood
taught school in Missouri rural dis
trict. The following story is told OF
one of his thrilling experiences.
Riding one day toward the close OF
the civil war along very lonely road
in the western part of the state he
was seized by squad from the band
OF the Confederate guerilla Quan.
trelle.
Senator Elkins was charged with
being a spy, and the penalty was
death Fortunately for Elkins he was
placed in the care of two brothers
who recognized the young man as
their former teacher. Approaching
his peril, they contrived his escape
The senator's new found friends were
Jim and Cole Younger, who after
wards became notorious as the most
daring of the band of outlaws led by
the James brothers. When, after the
close of the war, the Youngers were
captured and sent to prison on a life
sentence for robbing a bank in Min
nesota, Mr. EIkins recalled their kind
ness to him. He exercised his infiu
ence to procure their release. and I'll
timately succeeded.

TO POTATO GROWERS

1t is quite temptation to buy wher-
ever we can get the lowest prices, but
how often do we resolve never to be
so deluded again! So-called bargains
generally cost us dearly. The potato
grower cannot afford to buy cheap"
seed for his present crop suffers, and
if he introduces a disease his soil
may be infested for years. To secure
seed potatoes true to name and free
from disease costs money; therefore
such seed cannot be bought at the
same prices as the miscellaneous col
lection not worthy to be called seed
that can be picked up on the open
market, but few cents a bushel means
dollars in the growers pocket later
on. He should buy the best. Wilson
e. Toomer Fertilizer Co., of Jackson
vile, Fla, who are ever alert to guard
the growers interests, had the plants
growing their seed sprayed every
three weeks to insure against the dis
eases so prevalent. This precaution,
added to the greatest cultural care,
has resulted in Ideal Seed Potatoes,
and such enterprise should be reward
ed by liberal patronage.

NEWSPAPERS PLACE.

The man who lives twenty years
from 1911 will look back upon the
present era with surprise, if not with
amazement.
We live, in a time of advancement.
Some call it progression.
Some call themselves progressives
as if they were all there were of the
world This is a mistake.
The wide circulation of the news
paper and the magazine has practi-
cally put college professor, a law
yer, doctor, and a clergyman, as
well as an editor and an artist, in al
most every home.
The best work of the ablest men
in every walk of life finds a ready
market in the publication office.
Newspapers and magazines have
Isupplanted in part, the library, and,
we fear, are supplanting the school,
the college and the church, much. more
than they should.
1t would have been well if we could
have stopped here.
No forward movement is ever made
without blunders, without hotheads
who want to go too fast and too far.
So the yellow press and the muck
rakingwriter have come, displaying
the banner of the uplifter."
Really it is the. banner of the dis
turber.
But they will not tarry long.
Really, it is the banner of the dis
way to the business man, the theor-
list to the practical reformer, and the
uplifter to the organizer

M. nLouN7s SPLENDID RAcE


Mr.. Blount's friends may well feel
proud over the magnificent race he
made in the first primary.
He carried his home town and his
home county almost solidly.
And in the home town and county
of his opponents he won a victory over
one and came very near tieing the
other.
The only thing urged against Mr..
Blount is that he is the attorney of the
L. & N. railway company, which is op-
pressing the people of west Florida,
and that Mr. Blount is largely respon-
sible for the oppression. The L. & N
runs from Pensacola to River juno
tion, and the vote of the people Of that
section tells in fitting language of the
confidence they repose in Mr.. Blount's
ability, integrity and purity of charac
ter. OF the 400 votes polled in that
section of the state Mr.. Blount got ali
but 9S6.
This does not look like the people
living there feel that Mr. Blount is
one of their oppressors.
The vote of the people who know
him speak in trumpet tones in his IA
vor.
The argument that he is the attor
ney for the L. & N. railway is made
pu ely to arouse the feelings and in
fame the passions of the people
against him, but fortunately for the
country, and fortunately for the dem
Ocratic party, those old arguments
used by smaller men as stepping
stones to office, are rapidly dying out
and the people are beginning to be
lieve that they should be represented
in the congress of the United States
by the brainiest and best men that
can be secured.
In the early days of the republic
when the south exercised such a pc.
tential influence in the councils of the
nation, she did so by sending her
ablest and purest men to the legisla-
tive halls, and it behooves her to re-
peat the history of those times and
send her ablest men to represent her
once again.
1t is generally conceded that Mr..
Blount is Florida's ablest son 1T is
admitted that none are more pure
that if elected to the United States
senate he would reflect credit not
alone upon the state, but upon the en-
tire nation. Why let little petty pre-
JUDGES deny us the fame that we
would achieve through him for the
state?
1t is our duty to vote for the fittest
man, and it is conceded by those who
are not friendly to him that he is tnat
man.
We believe that Mr. Blount will cas-
lily win in the second primary.
