AS the national campaign advances,
there is every indication to believe
that President Taft and the Republic
an party are gradually losing ground
and that in most of the states of the
union he WIFI be given only a perfume
tory support and that on election day
the president will carry only a very
few states and only those VINO are
hopelessiy reactionary. While the Bull
Moose aggregation may not actually
be losing ground, the giamor and the
tumult of Rooseveit's specta cular en-
trance into the arena is gradually
wearing out and 1t is evident that the
number of electoral votes that will go
to the third termer will be small. In
contrast with these conditions the sin
certify and truthfulness Of Governor
Wilson's campaign is bringing more
people into the Democratic party every
day and the likelihood that he will
sweep the country is growing stronger
every day.

Secretary and General Manager n.
]. Lillard, Of the Pensacola Interstate

that he will bring the invitation to the

Mr.. N. j. Lillard, Secy. and Genl. Man
ager, Pensacola Interstate Fair Assn,
Pensacola, Fla.

have been requested to reply to his
mail.
I shall bring your letter to the at
tention of Colonel Roosevelt's cam
paign managers, who are arranging all

CORN SHOW IN
GADSDEN co.
1T WILL BE HELD IN CONNECTION
WITH THE FARMERS INSTITUTE
ON ocToRERl21 AND az.

Quincy, Sept 23.-The farming in
terests of Gadsden county have de-
cided to hold a corn and produce show
In connection with the farmers insti-
tute on October 81 and ~. Two full
days Of entertainment are to be given,
including corn contest and stereop-
ticon lectures at night. Speakers from
the University of Florida and other
experts Will deal with various topics.
It is also expected that a series of lee
lures will be given to the ladies on
domestic science and domestic econ
omy. For several years Gadsden has
held good institutes. The. farmers
there are among the best class in the
state, and it requires only one trip
through that section to convince any
one of the prosperity that exists in
that section. No better lands exist in
the state Of Florida than in Gadsden
county, and the purpose Of this corn
show is to stimulate growing of crops
more economically and the growing of
a better grade of crops.
Gadsden is noted for her cane fields,
her excellent corn, her sweet potatoes.
and her hogs. These are among the
most staple crops grown in Florida,
and the farmers there have demon
strated what can be done when the
best practices are put into effect
Hon. J. L. Shepard was elected pres
ident of the local association two years
ago and Mr.. NJ. M. Smith, of River
Junction, secretary. These gentlemen

have endeavored to make every farm
ers' institute effective in their COM
munity and i. is largely through their
efforts that large percentage Of the
Gadsden farmers look forward to and
attend these meetings annually. In
fact the local institute in Gadsden was
among the first in the state. Since
that time about one hundred similar
organizations have been perfected, all
Of them doing good work to a greater
Or less degree in their respective COM
munities..
Daring the winter months the drift

lands of Gadsden and the surrounding
counties have been overlooked by many

Florida to any other part of the state.
This is surely a good move on the
part of the Gadsden people. They
realize that a farmer cannot be sue

FROM A TRIP.

That the Democratic party is in

for attorney general of Florida, who
has just returned from Hot Springs,
after a trip extending over thirty
days.
Speaking Of the situation in this
state. Mr.. West said yesterday after
noon;
IF either Of the other parties are
looking for scrap in Florida, they
ought to be accommodated.

The Value
Of Today.

The yesterdays are dead; the tonnor-
rows are unborn--it is today alone
that is ours, that is ever with us and
that makes UP our lives and eternity
as single grains Of sand make up the
boundless beach Of the seas.
Born beneath two heartbeats and
dying as instantaneously: ever ending
only to begin again; filling the space
between the limitless past and limit
less future without ever merging into
either; passing with the swiftness of
weaver's shuttle and like it fashion
ing the fabric of our lives; dropping
one by one into the ocean of time as
precious pearls might slip from a
siIxen cord into some fathonless lake:
as unfaitering in It's flight as is the
motion of the earth on it's axis, and
ever bearing our life with it from one
eternity to another-there Is nothing
more real. nothing more elusive than
this period of time which we call TO
day.
Life for day is but an epitome of
a lifetime. We wake in the morning
with no knowledge of where our souls
have been wandering while the senses
slept: with fresh vigor and interest we
enter upon the occasions of our daily
work and fulfill our duties with an
energy that begins RI fail as fha aven
ing shadows lengthen; as darkness
deepens WEAKNESS comes upon us and
at last we are glad to lay aside our
work and cares and to surrender our

Snow Is Falling
In Great Northwest.

The press dispatches say that snow
has already begun to fan in Montana.
North Dakota, Minnesota, Wyoming
and Colorado and that the approach
Of winter is near at hand in other
states in the northwest This means
that all outdoor work must practically
cease in all that country, not to be
resumed until next spring. Some of
the conditions in that vast empire
called the great northwest are very
favorable. In some of the sections Of
these states. the soil is fertile and the
wealth of forest and mine almost In
exhaustible. Yet the people have to
remain practically idle for one third
of the time. Throughout the long win
ter, it Is a continuous struggle with
most Of the population to keep warm.
To people in these sections who de-
sire to better their conditions, Florida,
with its cheap and fertile lands, its
multiplicity .of industries and its
equabie climate, offers an ideal place
in which to build up a home. No
other state in the union offers COM
Portable homes to people of small
means. on such pleasant and easy con-
ditions as Florida.
All that is necessary is that the
truth about Florida should be known.

ONCE MOST POPULAR WOMAN IN EUROPE;
DYING MISERABLY IN RUSSIAN DUNGEON

Kief. Russia, Sept. 2a.-Once the
toast Of all Europe, once its most
beautiful. most courted. most vivacious
woman, Countess Tarnawska is near
death, after seven years of solitary
confinement in miserable dungeon
cell.
The beauty that once dazzfed all
Europe is gone-forever; the wonder
full figure that brought her fame even
beyond the continent Is twisted with
rheumatism. The woman who in the
days Of her glory had new dress for
every day and who bathed in milk and
wine can change her linen but once a
month and can battle but four times a
year.
And never once, since the day of her
Incarceration, has she seen the light
of day. On rare occasions she is per-
mitted to walk in the courtyard, but
always IL is with a heavy mask over
her eyes and q guard at her side to
foressaii the possibility of her lifting

light
She is not allowed to read or write.
Her lot for seven years and for the
remaining years of her life is to sit all
day in the dark, narrow dungeon with
nothing to occupy her mind-nothing
to think OF but the terrible thought of
the contrast with her present and her
past.
The countess is an Irish girl. Her
father is one of the wealthy O'Rourkes.
But all his thousands cannot help his
daughter in her plight. early in life
she infatuated Count Tarnawska. He
was her slave. Everything he had in
the world he laid at her feet. Finally
she married him. But his love did not
satisfy her. Her nature yearned for
the attention of other men. And le-
gions there were who paid court to the
brilliant Irish girl. One of their num-
Der was the Count Komorowski. He
went wild over her. And she led him
on.
Her extravaganza changed her nus
band from a wealthy to a poverty
stricken noble. Her f1irtations with
other men nearly drove him mad. So
he fed. And then the girl gave her
attentions to Komorowski. In some
way she persuaded him to insure ais
life, In her benefit, for 100000.
Only short time afterward Komo-
rowski was found murdered. A boy
admirer committed the deed at the be-
hest of the countess. But suspicion
did not direct itself toward her until

upwards can be produced on an acre II

Is no section Of West Florida to which
the state can point with a greater de-
gree of pride than to the section

The date for the meeting and corn

counties will endeavor to attend.

souls back again into the unknown.
Each day has its own allotted task

yond that which is given Us for the
day and force the mind and body to do
things not worth while; when we are
not content to bear the evils of the
day, but harass ourselves with antici-.

when we are not satisfied with the
daily bread. for which One wiser than
