A representative of this paper
spent Saturday at Callahan and
heard considerable politics dis
cussed On the streets. One of
the problems confronting the
people of that section is the Sc
lection of a county commissioner
to succeed J. r. BraddOck, who
steadfastly refuses to allow his
name to be used this year, his
business interests precluding
any possibility of making the
race. j. H. Sauls, of Gala
han, one of the substantial
citizens of that section and the
county at large, is being urged
by his friends to make the race
for county commissioner, Mr..
Braddock, the present incum-
bent, having succeeded him.
Mr.. Sauls served one term, de-
Ginning to stand for Reelection,
but during his two years in Of

He fathered the hard-surfacing

5. r. MERROW TO GET IN
RACE WITH JAS. E.. CALK-
ms. HAMPTON JONES.
OF CALLAHAN, WILL BE
CANDIDATE, 1T is SAID.

Since the announcement of
Senator Jas. E. Calkins to sue
coed himself as State senator
from the sixteenth senatorial
district last week, it has devel-
oped that the fight is to be
three-cornered, as S. R. Morrow.
OF Fernandina, states that he
will be candidate and j. Hamp-
ton Jones, of Callahan, is also
spoken of as probable contend
er. MIR. Morrow is one of the
leading business men of Fernan-
dina, having one of the largest
shrimp packing plants in the
shrimp area, besidebeing the To-
cal agent for the Gulf Refining
Company. AS things now stand,
the fight for senator promises
to be a lively one in old Nassau
this year and things will likely
warm up as the weather does
and bid fair to sizzle before two
OF the aspirants are "also-rans."

PROPOSED ISSUE OF $4,000 WILL LIKELY GO THROUGH
WITH LITTLE OR NO OPPOSITION.
CITY PLANTS Will Be ENLARGED
ADOPTION OF ISSUE MEANS CONSIDERABLE
SAVING IN INTEREST RATE-MILLAGE
TO BE LOWERED IF THE
BONDS CARRY

Little or no opposition on the
outside has developed to spread
gloom among the advocates of
the proposed $l50,O0O.00 bond
issue for municipal purposes in
Fernandina, and as the election
day, April 18th, approaches, in
dications are that the issue will
be adopted by an overwhelming
vote. It would seem that it is
only the part of good sense to
vote bonds at this time, as the
city plants need charging, some
sections of the city need rewir-
ing and several judgments that
the First National Bank holds
should be retired, the judgments
aggregating more than 100000;
and which draw eight per cent
interest when the bonds will only
draw six per cent.

BILE for that road being a State
highway today. He championed
a nearer route from the river to
Jacksonville and by putting
through a short route from CAL
lahan to Thomas creek, got the
State road department to take
hold of the project. No matter
who claims the glory, it belongs
to Jack Sauls, and had the mat
ter not been put through when
it was, the chances are that
Callahan, billiard and the river
sections of the county would
have had to wait for several
years yet before the splendid
highway that is now being put
through that section would be
a reality. Jack Sauls would
make a good county commits
sioner and the fifth district
could not do better than elect
him if he will consent to run.

SENATORIAL CONTEST IS
THREE-C0RNERED AFFAIR
The BAHAI MESSAGE

Many European historians
have described the wonderful
charm of this pure-hearted hero
of progressive religion, who was
martyred in 1850 after six years
of brilliant teaching.
Bahia o1lah, a Persian noble,
then appeared as the one herald
ed by the Bah. He announced
the dawn of a new age, an age
when brotherhood and peace
should cover the earth even as
the waters cover the sea. The
principles he advocated, how
ever, were too universal for the
limited minds of his contem-
poraries. He and q few of his
followers were driven by the
reactionary powers of Persia in
to exile and prison, and at last,
in 1868, were immured in the
des0late barracks of Aka in
Syria.
But the prosecutions of men
cannot extinguish the light of
Gods holy spirit when it shines
from the heart of his prophets.
From the "Most Great Prison
of Aka, Baha'o'llah spread his
gospel of unity and love
throughout western Asia. In
1892, at the end of forty years
of exile and Imprisonment, he
passed away, leaving his eldest
son, Abdul BAHIA, as the appoint
ed expounder of his word and
the promulgator of his cause,
the Center of the Covenant"
Under the guidance of Abdul
BAHIA the Bahai message has
been carried to all lands and all
religions. It has bound Chris
tians and Mohammedans, Bud
dhists and Parsis. Jews and Hin.
d1s, into the most spiritual
brotherhood the world has ever
known,
The Bahais believe this is the
beginning of that Golden Age up
on earth, the age of universal
peace and love when, as Christ
fOretold, men shall come from
the east and from the west, and
from the north and from the
south, and shall sit down in the
kingdom of God"

JUST FOLKS
TIE AYERAGE MAN.
BY EDGAR A GUEST

The papers overlooked him, for he never
beat his wife,
He never tried to rob a bank or take an
others life,
And he wasn't very brilliant and he didn't
try for fame,
So there was no real occasion for the press
to print his name.
The papers overlooked hi4l-he was never
deep in debt,
He never slipped away from town with all
that he could get.
He never made a million, never wrote a
modern play,
So there wasn't much about him for the
editors to say.
He paid his yearly taxes just the same
as you and !.
He went to work o'mornings with a twin
kIe in his eye.
He kept a little garden, and his children
seemed to grow
Into just the sort of children that the
world is glad to know
His friends we're never many, but the few
he had were true
For they had all discovered what the pa
pers never knew:
He was brave and clean and kindly-one
Of millions, I suppose.
Whose lives are ordinary from beginning
to the close.
And the more 1 think about him, It's the
ordinary man
Who's the glory OF the nation and the
= strength Of every clan.
So pay this tribute to him-not the genius
or the crook,
But the honest. normal, average man the
papers overlook.

Cordell Hull, representing the DEM
ocrat party as its national chairman,
says that the present depression in
the United States was brought on by
the failure OF this country to grant
sufficient credit to central and east
ern Europe after the close of the Eu-
ropean war Government reports of
exports and imports will show that in
the first calendar year afteS the close
OF the war, the United States extended
to Europe as a whole $4,000, 200, 900 of
commercial credit. These figures do
not. include advances from the federal
treasury, but represent the excess of
exports over imports. Since it is i'm
probable that Europe paid much cash,
the goods sold over there properly be-
long in the column of credits.
