WOODROW WILSON. OUR NEXT
PRESIDENT.

After a battle, unprecedented
before in the history Of the Dem
ocratic party, Woodrow Wilson
has been nominated as our choice
for the high Office Of President
of these United States. The
nomination came on the doth
ballot, after what had seemed
some time before that hopeless
deadlock.
Woodrow Wilson is a man Of
unusual force and ability. Born
in Virginia 55 1-2 years ago, he
attended school in the Carolinas,
graduated at Princeton Universe
ty, studied law at the Universe
ty of Virginia, attended Johns
Hopkins, practiced law in At
lanta, was professor of history
and political economy at Bryn
Mawr, later at Wesleyan Univer-
sity, and in 1902 became presi.
dent Of Princeton University.
He became Governor Of New
Jersey on January 10th, 1911
and on Tuesday, July End, 1912,
he was nominated as The Demo.
cratic candidate for President.
A man, truly great, is before
Us for our suffrage His worth is
recognized, his ability unques-
toned. He has the courage Of
his convictions at a time when
courage is needed most.
We must do what we can to
elect him. We thmk bis pros
poets are remarkably bright, and
with that we close this short
article, earnestly hoping that on
the 5th day Of this coming No
vember his feIlow-cItIzens will
by their votes choose Woodrow
Wilson, a native Of Virginia, the
Governor Of New Jersey, IS the
next President of this great
country.

THE UNIVERSITY AND TUE W0-

The Enterprlse-Recorder is in

ly noted by our readers.
The people of Florida have on
ly recently realized that we have
now right at home two OF the
best equipped institutions Of
learning to be found anywhere
in the country. Each school has
an excellent faculty, adequate
equipment, and a State support
ing them that believes in the
education Of its young men and
women.
The State University contains
the College of Arts and Sciences,
the College Of Agriculture, the
College of Engineering, the COL
lege of Law, the Teachers Col
lege and the Graduate School. In
addition, are the Agricultural
Experiment Station and the Uni
versity Extension Division. The
College of Arts and Sciences has
a high curriculum, and the in
struction obtained there will
compare favorably with that OBJ
tanned at any other literary col.
lege. The College Of Agriculture,
with which is combined the Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, is
doing a great work for the State.
Farming as a science is the idea
in view. and it will be time well
spent for as many as possible Of
our prospective farmers to take
a course there. The other de-
partments are equally as good,
and when our young men get
ready to go to College, they
should first inquire into the ad-
vantages which our own State
has set before them.
The Woman's College at Tai
lahassee is the sister institution
of the University. There were
81 students enrolled last year

One Of the most refreshing
pieces Of news we have seen Of
late is that the little old town Of
Cedar Key is putting on new
life again and bids fair to become
a city. Time was when the Levy

Cedar Key fell into a Rip Van

content. We only hope she will
continue to advance. Our best
wishes are with her.

School Of Expression and the

specialists in their respective
lines, The Home Economics de-

feature Of the College, pertain

side of a young woman's edu-

This short article would not be

the State has done her part. She
has placed two excellent institu.

doors. 1t is ours to decide as to
what use we will make Of what
she has placed before us.

1t was the game of life and death to
which the king referred.
Really now, Has any body got any

The march Of the times has replaced

and those wonderful horses of George
Hale's have been turned out to grass
Not long ago one of these horses
was brought in from the farm. a horse
sc years old, that had not had a har-
ness On his back for II years.
This horse used to pull the chiefs
wagon. He had the faculty of getting
under the shafts quicker than ever any
horse did that stood on four feet He
never made a mistake. never false
move. By the time the driver was in
the wagon the horse was ready to go,
and when he went he went on the high
speed.
So, behold the old horse brought in
from the country, witnessing again the
frills and frivOls Of the city.
The horse was barefooted. his name,
tail and fetlocks grown out long and
shaggy.
The fire ladies went to work clean
