abiding as a rule. We have a few
whites and some negroes who insist
on selling liquor. We have as few
"liquor-heads" as any town OF the
size in the country. We have a.
few tigers" This is due to =
healthy public sentiment against the
sale and use of intoxicants. be-

taken with reference to the Illicit
sale of liquor produced, i'm a large

The Political Situation.

EX-Gov. Cole l.. Blease has good
reason for his blythe good humor-
Fortune seems to smile upon him.
The cards couldn't have fallen more
TO his taste. A three cornered race
with Manning and Cooper is just
what the Hon. Cole must piously
have been praying for.
Just as we predicted some little
time ago, Cooper's personal ambi-
tions have proven so inordinate that
he has not been willing to forego the
prospect of their qualification even
for the welfare of his state Flor
cnce Times.
