Nor with his Populistic jdeas.— Pensacola News. Nice lot of good fellows in town tonight. Treat 'em all nicely, even if you have to vote against some of them. They are all deserving men, and their ambition to serve their county and State is a natural and laudable one. It's amusing to sce the ease and dexterity with which that staunch supporter of Gov. Harmon, the Tam. pa Tribune, flopped over to Under- wood, But, of course, it's all the same—no sensible person thinks oth- erwise, The Pensacola Journal has an able article on the subject “Hunger Is Now a Lost Feeling.” Well, they do say one can get so used to anything that one won't notice it, and the man who writ that piece 18 an editor, and— . Mr. Bankhead s coming to this part of Florida to look after the Un- derwod boom. Why not leave it al- tegether to Pleas. Holt, who is cred- ited with being in charge of the Un- derwood activities in this State, and who is generally conceded to be some pumkins as a political manipulator? As there is some discussion of the formation of a building and loan as- eociation in Lakeland, we reprint on Page 6 of this ‘issue an article from A Charlottesville (S. (.) paper, show- ing the work of such institutions in that community. The figures ar» etartling, and prove conclusively that building and loan enterprises prop- erly conducted are adjuncts of great value in the upbuilding of a commun- ity. “Which had you rather be today— Archie Butt or Bruce Ismaly " is the gomewhat perplexing conundrum th:“1 Tampa Times springs on its readers. | Can you believe every man who do-l clares he would rather be the former?

All of the 'valuable literature issued from time 1o time by the college is available for everyone who will but send his name, asking that he receive all literature mailed out. The good that can be derived from keeping in close touch with the college is incalculable. It is also possible for any resident of Florida to take a mail order course in almost any branch of agriculture at no cost except text books. Prof. J. J. Vernon will answer any questions re- garding this correspondence course. The State Horticultural Soci meets next month in Miami. 1 wish that every farmer in Florida would join this body, even if it would not be possible to attend all of the meet- ings. The only expense is $1, for which the sender will receive a book worth far more than that much money to him. [ believe that anyone can join this society, whether a res dent of Florida or not. 1 attended the last meeting of the society, and expect to attend the next one, | can assure every grower that they will be amply repaid for the time and expense incurred if they will plan to visit Miami in May. It surely broadens a man to mix with folks who are interested along the same lines as himself, and often hé learns things that prove invaluable to him. If you cannot attend, send $1 to E. 0. Painter at Jacksonville, asking that your name be enrolled as a member, and that the next report be sent to you.—Grower. ! PARK TRAMMELL is the LEAD- ING CANDIDATE is the report from all over Florida. He will have a big lead with a chance to win in the first primary. PARK TRAMMELL'S record as Legislator and Attorney-General has been one of aggressive, loyal, and ef- ficient service for the people. No nman in Florida has worked harder to stamp out the abuses of the special interest classes. PARK TRAMMEL In the future, as he has always done in the past, will champion the cause of the peo- ple and fight their battles, PARK TRAMMELL is not running on money, He has not and will not spend one penny for speakers or their expenses, or for hired workers, VOTE FOR TRAMMELL and stamp out the idea that a man has to have money to win for Governor. CONVICTS-ROADS: Placing the State convicts on the roads, with the county as the unit for road-building, as advocated by PARK TRAMMELIL,, WILL NOT INCREASE TAXES us claimed by Mr. Milton, as the ex- pense for labor will be cut off when the convict labor is worked in the place of labor now paid for. CONVICTS-SUGAR: Mr. Milton's plan for a convict cane farm and sugar factory WILL INCREASE TAXES about EIGHT MILLS to get ready for EXPERIMENTING in cane growing for sugar on the new un- tried and unseasoned Everglade lands. SUGAR PROFITS: Louisiana's convict cane farms have made no such profits as the figurues set forth in Mr. Milton's literature. The facts show but bare wages for the con- victs. TAXPAYER: Do you want a known value-—good roads—from the labor of the convicts WITHOUT A HEAVY TAX BURDEN, or do you want your TAXES RAISED EIGHT MILLS for getting ready for Mr. Mil- (sm's EXPERIMENT, with an UN- CERTAINTY as to getting any value in return for the TAX BURDEN and the labor of the conviicts? PARK TRAMMELL advocates Ex- perimental farms in the Everglades, but says experiment with thousands WITHOUT A TAX BURDEN. Mr. Milton’s plan means a HEAVY TAX BURDEN—a raise in TAXES of about EIGHT MILLS, for getting ready for the EXPERIMENT— And that with the RESULTS VERY UNCERTAIN. PARK TRAMMELL is with the TAXPAYERS and VOTERS upon this matter. He wants to protect them against a BIG TAX INCREASE. VOTER: Give no heed to elev- nth-hour falsehoods and mud-sling- ng if attempted against PARK TRAMMELL. OLD NEGRO DAYS. It has been noticed by all comers from the North that there is quite a difference in manners between the old black people and the young ones, The old folks brought up in slavery were respectful and courteous to each other and to the whites. The old ones have not forgotten their carly training, but the young have never been trained. It's a real pleasure to meet an old time negro. In old slavery times, the “Ole Miss™ was the name given by all the servants and retainers to the fe- male head of their owner's family, when she had reached the position of dowager, so to speak. The male head of the household was **Marse,” usual- Iy alluded to in the presence of out- siders as *“‘Marse Jones” or whatever his name might be; his wife was uni- versally spoken of as “‘de Missis.” But when she had passed into middle age, when daughters, and daughters-in- law came upon the scene to share the honors and her responsibilities, she became known to all as ‘‘the Ole Miss.” It should be noted that there was no disrespect whatever implied in the term, which’ was always spok- en in accents that partook of vene- ration. THE FLORIDA SUMMER. Florida is properly called the Sun- ny Southland. She has but one sea- son, as the term implies in the north, says the Miami Metropolis, and that is summer; but she has two as the term implies in the South, a rainy season and a dry season. The wet season usually begins about the middle and last of June, and lasts until about the middle of August: then from August until June is the dry season, which does not mean it rains from June to August, and then stops raining till June again, as many believe. During the rainy season there are many days of bright sunshine, in fact there is only a short shower dur- ing the day, usually in the forenoon, and the remainder of the day is usual- Iy without rain. And, during the dry season we have rains, but the rains are at intervals of eight to ten days.
