ANOTHER DIG AT BULLARD'S

let me see it, saying that it was his
private property. | have since learn
ed who wrote this letter, and also to
whom it was shown. | caught on to
this at once, and told Mr.. Conway that
in showing this letter within the
eighteen days preceding the election,
might be a violation of the law. 1t
was shown on Tuesday May 23rd.
This illegal work will take up later.
The purport of this letter was for
him to confer with certain law firm
for the purpose of having them man
damus cur County Commissioners,
thereby keeping my name from being
printed on the election ballot. This
letter was written by one ]. L. Nc
Murtry of McMeekin.
Now, my friends, let me say TO you
that the State Of Florida has no such
law, and my name will be on the
ballot. | have been a tax payer for
thirty years, voter in this county
for twenty EIGHT ye2rs, am

In the candidacy without opposition
of Dr.. Daniel C. Main of Welaka, the
people of Putnam county are assured
of the selection from the first district
of man especially well qualified for
the important place he seeks-that of
the county school board. DR.. Main
is a product of the American public
school system, part of which edu-
cation he received in Florida. He
has a classical, as we'll as special
education in medicine. He is a mem
ber of the National Association fol
the Study and Education of EXcep-
tional Children, and the National AS
sociation making a study of abnor-
NAL school children. Because of his
expert knowledge of epilepsy, Gov
Trammell recently appointed DR.
Main chairman of commission ere.
ated by the last legislature to enquire
into the States need of an institution
to care for the INDECENT feeble minded
and epileptic. DR.. Main, while being
something of a specialist, is also 6
man of general information and an OBJ
server of our public school system
and will bring to bear on the work OF
his office a keen perception and ar
analytical mind.

| With the twentieth century comes
the actual beginning of revolution Ia
social affairs There have been threats
of reform and change in many social
customs, and it has been on the tapis
many times to doaway with several
exceedingly foolish and awkward eere-
monies in vogue between the refined
members of what is gracefully called
society. And there has been no habit
more senseless than that of gentle
man removing his hat upon every
meeting with female acquaintance.
Heaven only knows where such stu
pid and such an awkward act receiv.
ed its origin. 1t has arbitrarily CON
trolled the men and was supposed to
rank as a mark of the gentleman for
as many years back as history extends,
despite the colds it has caased and the
men it has hustled into their graves.
So now it is said we are to do away
with this sort of thing aud the sensi-
bile aud simple substitute that pre-
walls in oriental countries is To be
adopted. That mode consists in plac-
ing the hand over the heart and bend
ing the head slightly forward so as
to make a noticeable but not extrava-
giant bow. Progress has been made in
this reform to such an extent that
most gentlemen now just touch the
brm of the hat. a la militaire, when
meeting lady, and it is accepted as
good form.
