The County Commissioners had previousiy made a rigid investiga- tion of the alleged irregularities, and their tindings, published in this paper, also constitute a triumphant exoneration of the officials. As a matter of fact the commissioners would have been entirely justified in ignoring the communication con- taining the charges, because it was unsigned, and an anonymous com- munication is a contemptible thing, always, and undeserving of consid- cration. But the County Commis- sioners are conscientious men, and they felt it their duty to investi- gate the charges, notwithstanding the unworthy medium through which they were presented; and the result of their investigation cannot but be gratifying to those whose official character it was sought to besmirch for political ends. The fair-minded people of this send her for her scrap book “A senti- ment and your signature.” She enclosed no stamp for reply. This was Mr. Lincoln's response: “Dear Madam—You ask me for a ‘sentiment’ and also for my signa. ture. You forgot to send stamp for reply. However, 1 will say this; Whenever you write to another on private business always enclose a stamp for reply. That's my senti- ment, “Respectfully, A, that's my signature,” durable and desirable made.—Indus- trial Index. MR. MILTON'S PICTURE. Hon. W, H. Milton, whose speech on the issues of the gubernatorial campaign was listened to attentively by many Tampans last nigat, devoted a considerable portion of his re- marks to his plan for working the convicts on a great sugar plantation in the Everglades, Mr. Milton is making this the lead- ing plank in his platform. As shown the Tribune, in an exhaustive jon of the proposition a few 0, the scheme is impracticable and would prove a most expensive ex- periment to the people, Mr. Milton has, in his literature, a picture of a "“Sugar Plantation in the Everglades,” which, we are informed by the Miami Herald, is a picture of a plantation fully 100 miles di from the Everglades and out of e ence for the past twenty years. This is almost equal to the famous LINCOLN— i Sttt s, R. B. HUFFAKER FOR PROSE- CUTING ATTORNEY. Xist- county will not stand for such meth- ods in politics. They will rebuke anonymous villification at the polls, and prove that such despicable methods will always react on the perpetrators. OUR HIRSUTE CANDIDATES. The glorious whiskers of some ot our candidates are attracting the at- tention of the outside world. Says the Wauchula Advocate: “Of all the pictures of candidates appearing in the State papers, that of L. S. Morrow, candidate fof cir- cuit clerk of Polk county, shows the finest whiskers, Look at his pic- ture, and then tell us alfalta does not grow in Florida.” We can grow anything on a large in the great county of Polk. Mr. Morrow has monopoly on candidatorial ~ whiskers, however, Mr. T. B. Kirk, candidate for countv superintendent, has a very ornamen- tal set, which line up pretty well with Mr. Morrow's. scale no Among the “also lost”"—in a clas with Mona Lisa, Messrs, Allen and Edwards—appears to be Albert Wil- liamson, candidate for congressman- at-large. He left Tampa, according tu the Tampa papers, on Tuesday for Lakcland, but he failed to show up. He was billed to speak in Tampa last night, but again failed to put in an appearance. Albert, where art thou Attorney General Park Trammell, a prominent candidate for governor in the approaching primary, will speak in St. Augustine Friday night at 8 o'clock in the Plaza. Mr, Tram- mell is one of the brainiest men in the State and a clever speaker and it is expected that he will have a large audience. He has many friends in St. Johns county.—S8t. Augustine Record. Towels cost money, even when bought at wholesale, as by St. Vin- cent’s hospital in New York. Yet Dr. Boldt, who performs some of his surgical operations there, appears to be extremely careless in his use of them. He sewed up one a yard long and a foot wide, in Mrs. Mol- lie Myers, which caused her extra- ordinary discomfort and annoyance for over a month, until another sur- geon unstitched her and took it out. She has now begun a suit for $50,- 000 damages against Dr. Boldt, which may make him a little more careful where he leaves towels la the future.—Miami Herald. photograph of “plowing in the Ever-| glades” which was touched upon in the recent debate in the House of Representatives. The photograph showed a farmer piloting a plow through the tall grasses of that re- gion; and, when the truth was learned, it was discovered that the subjects of the photograph were standing in a boat while the photo- grapher himself occupied another boat a short distance away. The fact that the “plantation™ pic- tured by Mr. Milton was abandoned twenty years ago is pretty good q-\i-‘(!l':\L”"IWD. and that he will make dence that it was a failure. 2.

William Dean Howells is a staunch opponent of those novelists who, un- der the pretext of reforming their readers, write books about vice. “Such writers,” said Mr. Howells, | at a luncheon at Kitterly Point, Me., remind me of a lad whose mother said to him: 4 “ ‘Why, Johnny, I do believe you're |§ teaching that parrot to swear.’ “‘No, I'm not, mother,’ the boy |} replied. ‘I'm just telling it what it mustn’t say.’” LAKELAND Its pineapples arve | The voting was very spirited and oc- | the entire morning's!
