If this brother had been among the eurly Christians who were compelled t: do stunts with hungry lions and tigers in the arena for the amuse- ricnt of Nero and his court he would probably have thought that that was the worst age of the world. £l That million dollar blaze in Sa- vannah Saturday night probably put r:ore movement and excitement into the old town than she has had o: any one occasion since the war, S i Don’t forget that on Feb. 1 the jnew State pure food law weny into flect and govern yourselves ingly. aceord el LN WERE MUCH PLEASED WITH LAKELAND AND HER PEOPLE. | ; We have returned from Lakeland, [ the convention city of the i Federation of Labor, the State repre {sentative and branh of the ‘mer- !itn,, Federation of Labor. Lakeland, the metropolis of Polk county, is a natrow marzin of one vote the joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment 1o restrict the president 0; the United States to a single term o1 Six years. If this amendment shall become a part of the constitution it will sim- plify matters for future tenants of the White House very greatly and cug out the game of playing polities frem the presidential vocation for- ever. \With no possibility of succeed- ing himsell in office the president Will he wiliout motive 1o use his vast patronas v to further his personal ends, atd that cannot fail to mean an improved public serviee and &reater purity in our politices, A very interesting feature of 1h amendiment is that by jts terms all form idents are bareed from re- | election city, composed of lovable citizens, en- ergetic, accommodating, obliging business men, an enterprising hus- tling, public-spirited board of trade, and a mayor who is a gentleman and « scholar.

[0 They are about to make effort over jn Dade county to drive out the saloons and are circulating petitions 1o call au election for that purpose. Miami's most distinguished citizen, William J. Bryan, is an un- compromising enemy of the liquor traflic and if he could be induced to stump the county in behalf of pro- Libitioy the “drys” would be very likely 10 win the election, for the Sfloquent commoner has the most per- suasive tongue in this country. As a large property holder in Dade and owner of a beautiful home in Miami bie could go into the campaign with entire propriety. “ ? R Better advice was never given to the southern farmers than that of 8ecretary Wilson in his speech at Columbia, S. ¢, Saturday whey he told them thag their salvation lay in the raising of hogs and cattle and the growing of grasses and other forage crops. The full benefit of the fmmense advance of corn raising iy the South cannot be had except by feeding the corn to hogs and cattl Otherwise it operates merely to de- press the price of (he corn.
