BEACHAM ONE OF
STATES BIG MEN

Several of the State papers are
boosting Braxton Beacham for polit-
ical preferment when the war is over
and his duties as food director cease.
The Herald boosted him for Congress
several years ago and the only reason
he did not get there was because it
was a Statewide contest and he was
a stranger in many of the counties.
Eut now that they know him better
they like him greatly and should he
choose to ask for something good he
can bet it. He did not accept his
present responsible position in order
to boost himself in politics, however,
for it came to him entirely unsolicit
ed and through no efforts of his own
Re is one of the really big men OF
the State and does not work for the
money or political preferment but for
the good that he can do his city
county, state and government. The
palatka Herald has the following
about him in the last issue:
If Braxton Beacham as food ad
ministrator can succeed in bringin;
about a slight decrease in food prices
then Floridians should remember hin
, along political prefermment line
, WREN that occasion presents itself.

JOYS OF THE BLIND

1t was my pleasure and privilege
also my sorrow-to spend an hour in
the company of a young blind man,
last week, in his home in the south
part of the county. I was impressed
as ! always have been when associat-
ing with blind person. of three facts
his intelligence, good nature, and ap-
probation of kindly attention.
This blind man is 81 years old and
is graduate of the School for the
Blind at st. Augustine. He finished
course in music there and is very
expert pianist. He played some very
melodious selections for me, and it
was remarkable how he began each
one without the slightest hesitation.
He touched each key on his piano
very rapidly and didn't notice sin
gle discord. His piano is of magnifi.
cent tone and strength. 1t is his
daily joy. He bought it from money
earned giving music lessons.
Mr.. A. was writing a letter to 6
blind friend when I arrived at his
home, which he finished before lief
him. When he wishes to write tt
one who can see, he uses an ordinar!
: typewriter, which he manipulate
skillfully. He uses the blind system
of correspondence, which includes tn
!, , raised letters. His facilities an
ability for letter writing are a grea
comfort to him and do much to kee
up his spirits.
(, 1t seems to me the blind apprec
ate and improve better, in most cases
their privileges than people do VIII
7 can see.
Reader, whenever you have
chance, let me ask that you be espe
p tally kind to those to whom the glor
e Gus light of this world is shut OF
1t will soften your hearts, raise yo
en- into higher plane of human feelin
y and make you realize how much thel
is to be glad of in life in spite of tro
bes and hardships. This is what Il
" visit with my blind friend did fl
me.

COTTON is KING.


Yes, Cotton is King, and we blush for
our country in having to admit it.
Down with kings and 'kon'ls" as
we'll as the kaiser and his kutur.
This ousting of the cotton king is a
job at the polls for the voters of the
eastern, the northern and the western
states, the farmers OF those sections in
particular, as they have been brazenly
Disseminated against by King Cotton
now in control at the national capital,
where price fixing on farm products is
done. Of course all readers know that
prices on cotton is not meddled with,
and as a result it is more than four
times higher than four years ago.
The South, where King Cotton hyber-
mates meath his sombrero, ia in control
of the legislation of the country, and
also in control of practically all the
present war affairs of the Nation, the
glorious Nation which they at time
within the memory of many of us,
tried their darndest to disrupt. Note
the fact that 7S per cent of the EN-
ployes in Washington are from those
states where cotton is k ng, and also
note how wofully weak are those same
states in rendering substantial support
to the government
Never in the history of this Republic
has the power Of determining the ma
tional policies been concentrated in the
hands of so few men, or SO monopolized
by small number of states.
Voters of this congressional district
can contribute their bit toward kick
ing this selfish, narrow gang out of the
national saddle. and know that at the
same time they are supporting a real
redblooded American patriot. who knows
no east, no west, no north. no south,

Bennett Babin Volunteers for Inn
mediate Service in France.
The interesting news that he will
soon be despatched to France for ac-
tive service is impaired in a letter to
the Chief from Bennett Babin, a we'll
known Donaldsonville boy now in
training at Camp Pike. Writing un-
der date of Jan. II, Mi. Babin said /:
Yesterday our lieutenant asked us
who was ready to volunteer for ser
vice in France. / had volunteered
the first one the day before. Out of
our company of 14O men only eleven
responded. We were transferred to
another barracks and quarantined for
two weeks, after which we will leave
for France. The reason they placed
US under quarantine is to make sure
that no one leaves here with sickness
of any kind. They certainly do see
that you are well equipped before
sending you to the front. One par
ticularly good thing the government
is doing that will benefit many fami-
lies is the offering of war-risk in
surance to every man in the service"
In letter to DR.. P. T. Thibodaux
written Jan. 6, Mr.. Babin gives an
interesting insight into life at Camp
Pike. The subjoined paragraphs are
quoted from his missive:
