out. In fact, two young men here in
town were hoping they could raise the
money. and l wrote my brother ia
vorable letter telling him to wait on
me few days. But what do you
think happened? You might make a
million guesses and not hit on it. My
wife and I were on the back porch of
our house. I'd run in to tell her that

Tor the young men to borrow the
money to buy me out when a thing no
more important than a common hen
actually interfered. She came clucking
up to the step to be fed with some
crumbs my wife usually threw out.
She went in the dining room-1 mean
my wife did, not the hen-and picked
up the tablecloth and shook out some
watermelon seeds and scraps of bread
and the like, and while the hen was
eating 1t she said-my wife said-she
had heard Joe's wife say that Augusta
was too big a town to keep chickens
IN and that she really would hate to
move to town where folks were so
cramped they couldn't keep chickens.
That floored me, Alb. turned of

very old Nick had got in her again.
It happened to be chickens then, but
it would be something else the next

Abner hung his head thoughtfully. A
grim look of determination was settling
around his kindly eyes. II hain't new

''Who are they eff thar amt no harm

"Why, ALI Lowry and Pete Sebas-

"Oh, them fellersw Abner shifted.
"Why do you say that, Abr
Because they was tryin' to borrow

despair in his face. 1T is just like my
luck-nothing seems to come my way"
How much did you offer 'em the

again, opened the loose hinged door,
spat and carefully closed it. why
don't you strike a match to this stuff

WHAT CATARRN IS

1t has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food in Scott's Emulsion which is a
medicinal food and a building-tonic, free
fomalcohol or any harmfuldrugs. Tryit.

The Editors Defeat

The Herald editor is not griev-
ing over his defeat; on the con-
trary, he feels that his race for
secretary of state was not wholly
barren of results. His primary
object was, OF course, to win the
office, but there were some secon-
Diary objects that appear to have
been accomplished.
One of these secondary pur-
poses was to divert the attention
of Hon. H. Clay Crawford, his
sons and close allies from the pro-
motion of the candidates. of 9TH
er aspirants. 1t was understood
that Mr.. Crawford and his fol-
lowers were actively supporting
one gentleman for United States
senator and another for governor,
| both of whom were defeated.
The Crawford people were
charged with energetic opposi-
ton to Hon. w. V. Knott, candi-
date for governor. Had they not
been forced to fight for them
selves, they might have diverted
enough votes from Mr.. Knott to
nominate Mr.. Cats, although
they were supporting another
man for governor.
Thus the EDITORS candidacy APP
pears to have contributed to the
defeat of both Mr.. Cats and Sen.
ator Bryan. 1t also emphasized
the claim made by The Herald a.
bout a year ago that the newspa.
pers in general have but little po-
litical influence. With possibly
two or three exceptions, Florida
newspapers are edited by gentle
men of honor and ability, but
their political advice is not heed
ed by the profanum vulgus.
If the newspapers had the infiu-
ence to which they are justly en-
titled by reason of the high char
acter of their editors, political
charlatans, buccaneers and adj
venturers would never be elevat-
ed to positions of trust and honor
in Florida and justice would be
done between rival candidates of
equal merit and ability. This,
however, must not be taken as in
timating that any corrupt or in
competent men were nominated
in last weeks primary. So far
as The Herald knows, all the
nominees are excellent, capable
gentlemen and will have the cor
dial support of this paper and its
editor.

Knott, or Cats?

Thanks to our beautiful pri,
mary law, we do not yet know
who is to be the next governor OF
Florida. 1t has been nine days
since the election, and yet the de-
cision of this highly important
question remains unknown. Re,
turns received up to yesterday dc
not settle it.
Both Mr.. Knott and Mr.. Cats
claim to have won. The vote is
very close, and some careful OBJ
servers say that it will require
the official canvas which is to be
made at Tallahassee, to decide
who has been nominated.
Complete returns from one or
two West Florida counties and
from dozen or more precincts in
Hillsborough county have not
been received. When these come
in, the final result may be known
Meantime, it may be said that
if the Hillsborongh precincts
which have not reported are out.
side of the cities, they will favor
Mr.. Cats, as will also those from
the West Florida counties. Only
the second choice votes in the
precincts and counties not report.
ed can make Mr.. Knott ten win,
ner.
1t was thought by many able
political students that Mr.. Cats
would get very few second choice
votes, but he received a surpris
ingly large number of them.
Mr.. Cats may have been nom.
mated; if so, we are assured by
the Arcadia News and the Miami
Metropolis, both of which papers
Opposed him, that he will make a
good governor. We hope so, but
we have our fears.
LATEST.-Ycsterday'S Tampa
Tribune says that Mr.. Cats has
undoubtedly been nominated.
Tuesdays Jacksonville Metrop-
oils says that, no matter which
one is declared nominated, the
contest between Cats and Knott
will surely be taken into the
courts for final decision.

his followers defeated Senator
Bryan and contributed the decis-
i've vote in the nomination of
Governor Trammel for United
States senator. Not only this,
but it appears that it was their
vote as much as anything else
that defeated the editor of The
Herald, because he had opposed
their candidate. The support of
the press did not avail the editor
against the opposition of the
Cats followers. Mr.. Cats was
heard to pledge his support to
Mr.. Crawford, although the lat
ter and his sons were known to be
active in behalf of Senator Bryan,
whom Mr.. Cats and his friends
had doomed to political immola-
ton. In this they were inconsist-
ent, for The Herald editor was al
so opposing Senator Bryan and
further, he had denounced Reso-
lutions 4 and 5, the object of
which was to rule Mr.. Cats out
of the race.
But it is all over now and Flor
ida is still the best state in the
world.

A Warning Unheeded

Eight months ago, The Herald
warned the people, the press and
the opposing candidates against
the candidacy of Rev. Sidney j.
Cats. The newspapers derided
the warning and the opponents of
Mr.. Cats paid no attention to it..
Towards the close of December,
The Herald repeated the warning
with emphasis, and some of the
newspapers took notice and lent
a helping hand, but Mr.. Cats OPP
ponents persisted in regarding
his candidacy as a joke and they
maintained this view until a few
weeks before the primary, when
it was too late to fully encompass
his defeat.
Nearly all of the newspapers of
the state were against Mr.. Cats,
but only a few of them spoke out
in open and vigorous opposition
to him. Perhaps, however, their
opposition would have accomp-
lished but little, for it seems that
many people have lost confidence
in the political wisdom and pat
riotiSm of the press and usually
vote against those candidates
whom the newspapers support
and for those whom the papers
oppose.
The result of last weeks pri-
mary shows that The Herald's
warning was justified. Not only
did Mr. Cats come very near be
ing nominated for governor, but
