NOTHING WASTED BY NATURE.

Editor Democrat:
We have all heard the expression,
Mature true to herself" These words
imply a thousand times more than
most any of us would be inclined to
think at first blush. Let every one of
the Democrat readers for a short while
Danish from his or her mind all
thought concerning things, money,
politics, elections, banks, deposits,
people, styles, entertainments, streets,
pavements, business, trade, fashions,
.well-these and a hundred other sub
jccts, and go back in our Imagination
and just think about Nature. Make a
pretty full examination and see how
wonderfully she works and after turn
ing it all over in our minds, inquire
if there is not a few lessons for every
n in her marvellous book.
Who ever thought of Nature being
q master builder? Builder of what?
some one is ready to ask-who ever
heard of Nature building anything?
Nonsesense, man builds, paints, orna-
nlents, constructs, schemeG, over
comes, beauties, but Nature keeps
her hands off-she lets things alone,
just as they are Man worries his
little brain over market quotations,
fluctuations of prices-give-away
sales, but good old mother Nature
never has to hurry to get there ELI

We may presume he was at least a

F~ULFILLMENT OF PROPHECY.

Editor Democrat:
Replying t Brother Rickman's let
ter in last weeks Forum beg to say:
1--WE thank him for those kind words"
It is not necessary to here mention the
fact that Bro. Hickman failed to meet
the issue concerning Where are the
Dead?" We heartily agree with some
O.. Bro. Riekman's arguments but can
and Mother Upton were in the class
with Moses, Elijah, Job, David, Daniel
and other Bible characters. We also
deny that anything has happened to our
head contrary to facts concerning the
proposed Electric Railway from Beth
lehem to Jerusalem. We furnished
s%criptural proof which is u~ndeniable.
Neither heathern nor modern philos-
ophy will measure up to the prophetic
visions of the Holy Prophets.
We might here remind Bro. Hickman
that the biography of Mother Upton
reveals the glad fact that she vas a
profound Bible student and secured all
of her prophetic interpretations from
"the fountain of all truth" the Bible.
She had nothing outside the inspired
word. After a close study of the pro-
phecies of the Bible she applied them
to the future as there was no record
| of their past fulfillment. If the good
Mother Upton could study the Bible
in her day and foretell the events Of
our day, why can't we in our day study
the Bible and be able to proclaim the
events that are ~transpiring right be-
fore our natural eyes? The apostle
says-Knowing this first that no
prophecy OF the scripture is of any
private Interpretation" end Pet. 1:2Ol
which gives Mother Upton and all
ether Bible students the right to in
terpret prophecy as long as they
stay within the bounds of reason and
reverence.
Mother Upton studying Bible
chronology said the world would end
in 1881 which failed to mature. She
was under the same impression that a
great many r today, that the ending
of a dispensation means the end of the
world. If she had lived until the pres
ent time she would have learned tina

Cosmos, signifying an arrangement

cording to a better understanding o
chronology than had Mother Upton
and a closer study of prophecy, w

NJ. L. sHIPMAN FOR CONGRESS

Editor Democrat:
It appears that our present Con-
gresham is to have opposition in the
primaries and district convention this
year and the party ought to unite on
a good man who would make a strong
candidate. This way of omce-seekeg
forcing themselves upon the people
is becoming distatesful. Why not g|
beck to the old way of the people Sc
lecting the man, instead of the candt
dates nominating" themselves? VEL
want a man nominated who possess
elements of leadership that will insure
a compact organization of our forces
and a campaign which would INSPIRE
every democrat in the district to takeI
off his coat and go in to win. Ra
should be a man who knows the peOla
and one acquainted with their Needs
Out in this section of the district lsl
name of former chairman M. L. Ship
man has been frequently mentiOna
for some time in connection with tD'
congressional nomination. In fact HfI
a few democrats have expressed dal
opinion that he would be the most al
ceptable candidate the party cOu4
name. Mr.. Shipman has a wide peri
scna1 acquaintance in the district aud
his splendid record as a democraHf
worker is known of all men Of a
parties. He has the reputation Of Dc
ing a man who does things" and hS|
record, both as an official and a pafQ
worker, fully justif1es this estimate y
him. During the first term he serve
as district chairman the people Wa
impressed with his capacity for organ
ization and the energy he put into y
campaign. His activities in the pun
lie eye since that time have ado
greatly to the public estimate OF Hp
as 0I0uASA 0Cu1OO1o at III q P~
citizen. I believe Mr.. Shipman WOu
enthuse the young men of the diS1A
more than any candidate the paY
could name and they are a factor |"
reckoned with.
In a word, the name of M. L. S4
man will do to conjure with, and II
party should determine to send nu
congress, he would certainly pun :

TO THE MEMBERS OF
THE WOMAN'S CLUB

Now that the vacation months
have passed and the time is drawing
near when active work must be re-
sumed by our club, therefore urge
every member to do her utmost to-
wards attending the meetings and
also ask that each member at the
first meeting, Oct. |, present tho
name of one or more candidates for
membership.
The Year Books contain a series
of instructive programs and with
the addition of several new depart
ments, there Is an abundance of
work for each member
Let us remember that what we do
for others adds more to our happi-
ness than what we do for ourselves.
I am most grateful for the sup
port and assistance given me the
past year and with the renewed in
terest of members and the enthusi-
asm Of officers, the coming year will
be crowned with success.

Lakeland team for playing men not
eligible to play in the games of the

these games were played under pro-

that at least four of the Lakeland
players who took part in the games
mentioned are playing under other
names than their own. In other
words, men have been brought in
aud played under the names of
men who were signed up at the be-
ginning of the season. This, of
course, was not fair if done and
Manager Leon claims to be well
able to prove that such was the case,
I'VE would not have objected to
their playing Ty Cobb if they could
get him to come said Leon. But
he should have been signed up in
accordance with the league rules. so
that we might know who we were
going against ("
Messrs. Trimble, of Lakeland.
and Worthington, of Tampa, were
the only members of the league who
showed up and no formal meeting
was held. The president, under the
authority vested in him, referred
the protest to committee consist
ing of Messrs. Perry G. Wall, of
Tampa, A. H. Reagin, of Fort
Meade, and G. A. Bailey, of St.
Petersburg. They will be called
together later and the matter laid
before them in formal fashion.
There are two postponed games to
be decided, one between Tampa and
Lakeland, and one between St. Pc
tersburg and Tampa. President
Warrington announced that the
Lakeland game would be played as
a doubleheader in this city Tuesday
afternoon, when Lakeland is due to
play a scheduled game. The first
game game will be called at 2
