March 8. and of the McLemore resolution

Albert w. Gilchrist

The editor of this paper has
known Albert Waller Gilchrist
since he was a curly-headed boy,
SIX years old or less.
Being more or less under obi
cations to his mother for certain
social amenities shown to him in
a community where the social
lines were drawn with exacting
discrimination, he has watched
the career of her son with contin-
uing interest.
Albert Gilchrist'S father was
one of the richest men in Gads-
den county. He died just prior
TO the outbreak of our civil war,
and as his property was mostly in
slaves, the termination of the
war left the mother and son al
most entirely stripped of their
patrimony.
just as soon as the son was old
enough he went to work for the
promise of fifteen dollars a
month.
Thus early he showed the stuff
of which he is made.
Later he received an appoint.
ment to West Point, and there he
gained a certain knowledge OF
military affairs that proved val
liable to him in our Spanish-A.
Imerican war.
Albert Gilchrist entered thai
conflict as a private in a company
and regiment in which he was en-,
tirely unknown, and soon rose tc
the rank of captain, and while
holding an important post on the
island acted as major.
From a child General Gilchrist
was affected with a heSitancy of
speech, and not finding time to
try the efficacy of speaking with

Nestors in Florida journalism

Two changes of Importance are
announced in Polk county news
paper circles this past week, the
first being the retirement of Gen
eral E. NJ. Law from the editor
ship of the Barlow COurier-ln-
formant. General Law has made
the c. l. a model newspaper, and
it is with genuine regret that the
newspaper fraternity will note
that he is no longer to grace the
profession. The other change is
the sale of the bright and Spright-
ly Auburndale News by John G.
Hanna, who has made that jour
nal one of the liveliest and most
readable in the State. A stock
company, with Park H. Adams
as its head, is the purchaser. Mr..
Hanna, it is intimated, will en-
gage in newspaper work in a
broader field in this section, which
fact is pleasing to his many
friends and admirers. These
changes remind us that the editor
of the Evening Telegram is the
"nestor" of the Polk county
press, every paper in the county

Ex-Governor Albert w. Gil
christ is the only one of the sena-
torial candidates who has declar-
ed that he is opposed to Govern
ment competition with the print
ing industry in furnishing enve-
lopes with corner cards. 1t is a
part of his platform. For many
years the printers have agitated
the question of having this gov
eminent competition eliminated.
The papers would be consistent in
supporting Gilchrist, for he will
work for their interests, as well
as for the best interests of all
constituents. Papers already
pledged to other candidates could
very gracefully support Gilchrist
as their second choice candidate.
