Foster. e —————— Editor Holly of the Sanford Herald has gone off for a vacation and he- fore leaving he made that the office wouldn't be closed by the sher- sure I she may zet to the best advantage at I in his absence, by warning him that should he do so the next time he popped his head up tor office the Herald would see that he didn’t even get those little thirty-seven votes that Sanford gave him in the last election. Knowing full well that when a newspaper takes it into its head to elect or defeat a candidate that it generally succeeds, we be- lieve that, the sheriff will “'step llg’ht" when going by the Herald of- fice. Who will represent Polk county fn the specia) session of the Legis- lature is a matter of conjecture, ow- ing to the fact that A. J. Angle, one of our representatives, has moved » Tampa and is now a citizen of Hillshorough county instead of Polk, thus leaving one vacancy in the dele- gation from this county. Whether the Governor will appoint someone to represent the county in place of Mr. Angle, remains to be seen, but in case he does, the various postoflices o. the county had better get in an extra supply of stamps There are a few newspapers in Florida whose editorial page looks like a last years' bird's nest, and whose editors evidently sit and pon- der a while what they can write, and because they never think of anything to say, they write a long screed about the probability of Park Trammell being a candidate for the as to ' United States Senate, and wind un by giving him advice in regard (o § b what he ought or ought not to do. One paper goes o far this week as o “hope that he will serve out his } term as governor,” and that if he opposes one certain candidate they will dead against him, if not, they will be for him. Now, in the first place, Mr. Trammell has never said anything to his most intimate friends about the probability of his making the race for United States senator four years hence, and in the second place he has demonstrated in every public office he has ever served that he is not a “quitter.” and it is the heighth of ill taste for any one te even intimate that he would even entertain such an idea. We've scanned the papers of other States, and it falls to the lot of Florida to be about the only State “blessed” with newspapers who begin jumping on newl yelected officials of the Stato relative to what office they will as- pire to after they finish the one whose duties they have not yet en- tered upon. We would advise all these so-called editors to take a trip way off ten or fifteen miles from their native habitat and thereby in- trease their mental horoscope. It il do them good and the results will be refreshing to their readers. lers of Florida \ der the supervision of L. G. Powers, wome, 1.0 boganiy former chief statistician, and J. L.

The first tinal proof made in this State under the new homestead law was perfected rvecently. Under the provisions of the new law an entry- man has six montl: in which to move on the land, and is permitted to be absent five months in each vear, He must show that at least otie-sixteenth of the area scozht has been cultivated the second year, and that one-eihth of it is cultivated the third year. In other words the e¢n- tryman must show at least ten acres of a 160-acre tract to have been cul- tivated the second year after entry has been filed, and that ot least twenty acres have been cultivated the third year, when proof is made.
