J. B. Cotton.

We re-apsssaorized to announce the
name of Mr.. j. B. Cotton as a candi
date for the Office of county treasurer,
subject to the action of the 1915 pri-
maries,
Mr. Cotton made splendid race for
this Office four years ago, leading his
opponents in the first primary, but was
defeated by small majority in the
second primary.
In the person of Mr. Cotton, the peo-
pie have a most worthy example OF
energy and perseverance, for though
bearing infrmaties that would cause
many to become charges upon theirrel-
atives, his proud nature spurning such
q disposition, causes him to prefer to
do in the battle of life and live from
the earnings Of his own hand
Honest and honorable, he goes be-
fore the people again asking a favor
able consideration Of his claims, and as
surfing them that his services will be
efficient in the discharge of his duties
if he is elected.
He is a good neighbor, most excel
lent citizen, and we feel sure that he
will never give any one cause to regret
having voted for him. = Brooksville Re-

,At these meetings it is proposed to
discuss two subjects which are of vital
Importance to the farmers of the Prai-
RE section. We will have men thor
oughly posted to discuss the breeding
and feeding of beef cattle, and we have
been fortunate in securing the services
of Mr.. w. M. Newton, of the Board
of Trade of Birmingham, Ala, who is
an expert on hay.
In the past many hay growers who
were familiar with the classes and
grades Of hay, have shipped their hay
to smarkets improperly graded This
has resulted not only in loss to t e
shipper but has caused misunderstand-
ing between the grower and the com
mission men. Mr.. Newton will not
only discuss the growing and shipping
of hay and the market grades, bYtA we
will have at each meeting several sAm-
pies Of hay and have been him eraae it
and show the farmers the differences in
the grades.
The prairie section is one of the JEST
hay sections in the south and is now
shipping large quantities of both John
son grass and alfalfa hay. These meet
ings will furnish an opportunity fer
every grower to study the grades of
hay under an expert, and we feel sure
that the meetings viii result in great
good to the growers of this section,

Gated Mexican believes that even a
section of his country can whip all of
this one, and it is hard to see why
America supports Caranza against
Villa. The situation at Aqua Prieta
is fraught with potential trouble.
Carranza's army is standing with its
back to the American town of Doug
las, Arizona, and Villas troops can
not attack Carranza's men without
many bullets going into American
territory. There are at least 5000
American troops in Douglas, osten-
sibly to protect the town, but unless
the Mexicans cross the border it is
not likely that the government viii
allow them to do anything. They and
the civilian population viii probably
cover behind barbados until the
fighting is over. If they do return
the fire, the effect must of necessity
fall on Villas men and aid their en-
emies. Carranza is a slick old scoun-
dreI, has first defed the United States
and is now using it as a catspaw.

Florida needs more climbing and
less talk of climate. Climate doesn't
raise forage crops and run it through
a razor-back and product $50 hog.
1t doesn't make a hen pay 81 a year.
Climate is a good talking point when
the pump is frozen stiff and the stove
is tapping up coal like cat does milk.
We have talked climate in Florida

will give him credit at the bank and
grow gold dollars on mulberry trees.

thing of the past. 1t brought US a

with the pictures drawn of a happy
family browsing under Towering
vines of the front door, with wide
vista of orange groves aft and a
shimmering lake fore, with an auto
mobile set to one side, and rural
mail carrier coming up with a wad of
gold certificates to tide them over for
the day And when they came and
saw that it took money and brains
and work and energy to build that
happy home here the same as it would
do elsewhere, they straightWay went
back to "wife's folks" and began Wilt
flying the state.
Those who stayed and made sue
cess were climbers.
The others were clime-ers.
The climbers always make good in
any line in any country, but they can
do better here in a shorter space of

Georgia ten years ago. Rawlins, an
old rufian, and three of his sons at
tackled the home of a neighbor named
Garter, in Lowndes county, and kill
ed two of Carriers children. It was
"a most indefensible act and Rawlins
and his three sons were found guilty
of murder in the first degree. Only
one, however, the old man, was hung,
the three sons being sent to the pen
itentiary for life. Two have already
been pardoned out and it is probable
that the third will be. This case fore
shadows the probable fate of Menden-
