Heroic Little Country of
Paraguay is Progressing.
government

u
Away down in South America,
almost in the very heart OF the con-
tinent, sandwiched in between Bolivia.
and Brazil on the north and east and
Argentina on the south and west is
located the heroic little country
known as Paraguay. The adjective
"heroic" is used advisedly, for when
it comes to patriotic fighting the
world must take off its hat to this
little republic. IF there ever was
nation that fought "to the last
ditch" it is Paraguay, and if there IS
another instance in histery-nodern,
medieval, or ancient-where peo-
pie fought so completely to the point
of utter exhaustion, almost to extinc-
ton, before they ran up the white
flag, it has been rather carefully
concealed. In this particular Para
quay may be said to be about sui
generis.
It is so far away and SO little visit
ed by people of the United States
that perhaps few citizens of the great
northern republic know much more
about this very interesting country
than its mere geographical location.
of late, however, it is coming more
and more into prominence and people
are beginning to hear something of
and to want to know more about it
and its brave inhabitants and of the
struggle they are making to advance
and take their place among the pro-
gressive nations of the earth. In the
development of its fine natural re-
sources the country has doubtless
Jagged behind some of its sister re-
publics, but when you know some
thing Of its history that tagging is
easily accounted fof, An article in
recent number Of the Bulletin of
the Pan American Union; Washing
ton, ID. c., throws light upon the SUBJ
ject in the following manner:
During all the colonial period and
down to it independence, in 1911, Par
aguay was looked upon merely as a
halfway house to the rich Peruvian
and Bolivian mines. Agriculture and
even stock raising was unconsidered
in this area. Argentina, Paraguay,
and Uruguay we're ali neglected. For
much of this period in Paraguay the
Jesuits were conducting an expert
ment in civilizing the Guarani Ind
ians, which involved non-communiea-
ton with the rest of the world.
"Soon after independence came the
Francia dictatorship, ending in 1871.
Almost Immediately following Fran
cia came the dictatorship of the two
Lopez, that of Carlos Antonio Lopez,
ending in 1862, and of Francisco So
lano Lopez, in 1870. The policy of
these dictators was similar (but for
a very different reason) to that of
| the Jesuits, viz, to maintain Para
| quay as hermit country and un-
known to the outside world. Sa far
as the outside world was concerned,
the result was the same-that for
almost a century and half Paraguay
was 3 closed and unknown book.
i "At the final defeat and death OF
Francisco Lopez, in 1870, Paraguay
was left PROSTATE as no other coun-
| try in the world for thousand years
| has been Frustrated. For six years
i Lopez had kept up the unequal strug-
gle against Ara R~aEil and

Bet on Cats

Farris is anxious for joint debates.
Well, well! Since hearing Cats, we
can't see where the other candidates
could hope to gain any thing from
debates. Cats would do them to a
finish. He conceals nothing, and
speaking from the soul of truth he
would vanquish his opponents, who
are afraid to say anything for fear of
losing vote. Well we are anxious
to hear the joint debates, and we will
bet on Catts.-Ft. Lauderdale Senti-

Good Roads

Much credit is due Hon. T. Albert
Jennings of Pensacola, who owns
large land interests in the First dis
trict of this county, for his public
spirit in building at his own expense
six miles of hard road from Jennings
to the Georgia line where it connects
with the Lowndes county hard road
to Valdosta. This makes hard road
from Jennings to Valdosta. The road
is nearly completed and is valuable
asset to this county, Otto HoYeH, a
public-spirited citizen of the First dis
trict, has, also, at his own expense
constructed four miles of good roads
in that district where it was greatly
needed. All honor to those worthy
men, may the county commissioners
emulate their illustrious example,

Made Good His Threat


f. A. Wood of st. Petersburg has
actually made good his threat and an
nounced his candidacy for governor.
His platform is made up of resoIu-
tons against the fee system of pay
ing county officers, economy in adj
ministration and several other
things that have been handed out as
bunk" by candidates ever since the
war between the states. The only
thing new under the Florida sun is
Cats platform-and that is only a
resurrection of the old KNOWN 9TH
ing campaign of 1556-beyond the
recollection of present-day voters
and which was short-Iived. Wood an
nounced his candidacy in the Times
Union, evidently under the impress
sion that it was a democratic paper.
That was mistake number one; there
will be others.-Palatka News.
