PUTNAM'S OPPORTUNITY.

Sam Hilburn will run it out with
Frank Clark in the second primary, X.
Hudson Burr having been eliminated in
the primary of Tuesday, April 80. This
gives Putnam county a splendid oppor'
tunity to show her loyalty to one OF her
LOYAL sons. 1t would be unreasonable
TO make any appeal TO local pride upon
the simple ground that Hilburn is
home man, and for that reason should
have the vote of his home people. But
Hilburn has made good fight he's
made an able fight, he has exhibited to
the people of the district that he is big
enough for the job ne is seeking MIR.
Clark has polled his full strength, or in
any event that is the general opinion
If is a moral certainty that he will not
be able TO pull much of the Burr vote,
while it is just as sure that the bulk OF
the Burr vote will go TO Hilburn. 1t
looks like Hilburn is going to be the
winner. That being the case it would
be a graceful thing Tor fulnam county ~
roll him up fine vote on May ~. A
number of the local candidates have fin
ished their own races, and there is
nothing to hinder them now from
talking freelyand taking an active part
in the race for the next two weeks.
There can be little question that local
politics frequently keeps men from get
ting in behind home candidate who
is running for such an office as Hilburn
is seeking, but this opportunity now
belongs to Putnam county, and every
loyal home loving citizen should see &c
ii that he does his duty toward putting
Hilburn in Congress.

U. S. SHIP SENT TO MEXICO
Army Transport viii Bring Home
American Refugees.

Washington.-The army transport
Buford left San Francisco for the
west coast of Mexico to pick up any
American refugees who may wish to
leave the country. The Buford will
visit Topolobampo, Alfalfa, Maztalan,
all in the state of Sinaloa San Bias,
Topic, Manzanillo, in Colima and AGA
pulco, in Guerrero. The vessel Is
sent at the request of the state de-
partment after urgent requests from
many Americans stranded in the
Mexican states bordering the Pacific.
Since the rebels began to make
Roadway in their operations along the
Pacific coast, communication has been
cut with many of the interior towns
where Americans are known to re-
side.
This has left the state department
without any information as to the
safety of these people, and this in the
face of numerous reports of the wan.
ton acts of both bandits and organized
rebels.
Constant appeals came to the state
department to use some method of
ascertaining the welfare of these peo-
pie.
While the Buford is government
vessel, stress is laid upon the fact
that there will be no United States
soldiers aboard

HOW EXPERTS FORM OPINIONS
Distinguishing Marks May Be Forged
but the Man Who Knows Can
not Be Deceived.

A dealer in antiques was talking
about art experts. Take, for in
stance" he said, "an expert in old
pewter, You think, perhaps, he dis
tinguishes old pewter by the marks
the Tudor roses, the makers name,
and so forth? Bless your heart, those
marks are continually forged. No, he
distinguishes old pewter by the feel
at is like the china expert He,
with his eyes closed, will distinguish
hard and soft paste china. It's the
feel again-his fingers trained by
years and years Of study till each
one has a brain in it,
Oriental rug experts have a very
subtle sense of rug differences Some
times they distinguish a rug by its
smell-the smell of the wool and the
dyes. This seems incredible till you
think of the Harris tweed, that i'm
ported cloth that you yourself can
distinguish by its smell-the smell,
which never leaves 1t, of the peat
smoke of the cottage wherein it was
woven on a hand loom
"Wool sorters, less highly paid
class of. experts, can take up a hand
full of wool, and by Its color tell you
whether it came from Texas, from the
territories, from England or from
Canada The soil, you see, gives its
own color to the wool"

Hattiesburg, Miss.-Nine persons

Van Zandt Confederate Veterans
Special of eleven cars, en- route from
Texas to the annual reunion at Ma

one mile south of Eastabuchie, Miss,
on the New Orleans and Northeastern

The locomotive, baggage car, one day
coach and three tourist sleepers were
derailed and tumbled down a high
embankment, making a conglomerate
mass of wood and iron debris.
Though several hundred Confeder

not one was numbered among the
dead. Several of the veterans were
injured, though none fatally. The
dead are:

The derailment was on straight
line and the train was running about
thirty miles an hour. The dead were
brought to Hattiesburg.
The scene Immediately after the
crash was made particularly distress

among the aged veterans who were
uninjured Immediately went to work
willingly assisting in extricating less
fortunate comrades, Carrying them to
improvised hospitals in the few coach

CLARK CARRIES MARYLAND
Roosevelt and House Speaker Get
MaryIand's Delegation.

Roosevelt anu T1ousc oPSaNSi w.
MaryIand's Delegation.
Baltimore, Md.-Maryland's sixteen
votes in the national conventions will
be cast for Theodore Roosevelt and
Speaker Champ Clark.
The results werec lose and Colonel
Roosevelt, on the face of the returns,
had but one more than the number
of votes necessary to control the state
convention.
The primaries divided the delegates
to the state convention as follows:
epublicans-Roosevel 6, Taft GO.
Democrats-Clark Y, Wilson Al,
Harmon 4, in doubt ..
Majority necessary to control the
convention, 60.
The state delegates elected are
bound to choose a delegation to the
national convention favorable to the
presidential candidates for whom the
people expressed their preference.
Although the preference vote OF the
state as a whole did not determine
the result, it favored Roosevelt and
Clark by pluralities more conclusive
than the division of state delegates
based on the county preference vote.
This was due largely to the sweep
which both successful candidates
made in the city of Baltimore.

Serflcnette.

Though after my skin, worms
destroy this body, yet in my
flesh shall see God. Job 1925.
The man of Uz lived so far back in
antiquity that we cannot discover his
historical place. Yet he had, in Gods
grace, a marvellous forelook upon
the great gospel verities. Job sang
his Easter Anthem" long ere our
Saxon forebears knew of any such a
season. Nay, long ere they lived.
He even anticipated Pauls inspired
classic to the Corinthians on the
resurrection of the body by more
centuries than we know.
This old seer did not blink bodily
dissolution. With terrific realism he
saw it all. With inspired honesty he
comes out with ii all. He knew
that corruption was 10 be his brother,
and his body food for worms. Yet
with vision that saw through the
shadows, he beheld a day when, in
his flesh, he should see God. After
centuries of Christian testimony even
protesting Christians will cynically
ask how God is going 10 gather our
bodies out of the dust Job does not
show the manner, only the fact, of
the r. Surrection. That is enough.
Leave processes TO God. Enjoy, in
faith, the fruits of His processes. II
is enough to know that corruption
shall put on interruption; that dis,
honor shall be changed into glory;
that weaaess shill put Oh power,
and that khe fleshly form shall be
made like tunto Christ's own glorious
resurrection body. Here is the honor
ing of the body by God at which we
wanted last week. He redeemS il,
sanctifies ii, uses il here. Then lie
LAYS it in the dust TO rest. And then
He lifts it up out of lis lowly bed
that, at the last, we may look forth
out of the flesh and see God. =.

CLARK HlLBURN
SECOND PRIMARY.
As the Situation Is

WI. Siaih
enters the race for the second primary
with the necessity of winning 1871 votes
from the friends of r. Hudson Burr, in
order to defeat Samuel ]. Hilburn for
congress.
Those who remember former political
contests in Florida, when the candidates
of the Special Interests were opposed by
representatives of the people, will be
able 10 forecast the outcome of the pres
ent situation with little difficulty.
| In the first primary two years ago
when James P. Taliaferro, the Wall
street candidate, was opposed by Claude
L'Engle and Napoleon Broward, Mr..
Taliaferro was high man."
In the second primary, Napoleon
Broward led by 2,315!
In the election subsequent TO Governor
Broward's death, w. A. Blount, the
corporation candidate, had plurality
over Nathan P. Bryan of 1868 votes.
In the second primary Bryan over
came this lead and was elected!
These figures are merely given to
show the loyal people who are striving
to put an end to Mr. Clark's miSrepreS-
entation in Washington that there is
nothing TO do but go quietly 10 the polls
on May 2S-you people who voted for
r. Hudson Burr-and cast the 5,411 votes
for that other friend of yours-Samuel ].
Hilburn.
Those who voted for Mr.. Burr were,
of course, antiChrk, anti.SpeciaI Inter
eSts, antiAldrich Democrats, all oil
whom know that the principles foI
which the people stand and the interests
huf To n nf hn
day man, will be guarded by Mr.. Hill
burn with the same sincerity that Our
Hudson Burr would have given.
Taking the returns from the various
counties of the Second Congressional
District, it will be seen that Mr.. Clark
has been spoken 10 by the people who
are not to be influenced by noisy oratory
and who are to submit no longer TO the
despotism of the Money King.
In only four counties was MIR. Clark
given a majority and this Complementary
vote added together made but $40.
OF these, Aiachua county, Mr.. Clark
home, led with 252 votes, Suwannet
