HERE’S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR MRS LONGSTREET. | If Mrs. Helen Longstreet has been: sufficiently cured of her obsession as | to thé mythical merits of old Dan | s ‘Sickles and the duty of Confederate veterans to pay him out of jail while | his own comrades turn their backs " on him, we would recommend to her attention the case of another war veteran infinitély more deserving and in whose behalf she might make her appeal to the public with much better results. This case is stated in a recent Washington dispatch as follows: “Bent with her almost four score years, Mrs. Ella Newsome Trader. the “Florence Nightingale of the South,” is living here in almost des- titute circumstances in this city. Her only support is the small salary she gets in the pension office and a gov- ernment salary drawn by her one! daughter. rn in Brandon, Miss.,, May 3, 1 , Mrs, Trader inherited a for-| tune of practically half a millien ! dollars. At the outbreak of the civil war she went to the field as a nurse and organized hospitals, many of which she equipped out of Jier own funds. From her large plantation down in old Mississippi she donated flour, molasses, meats and groceries to the cause of the confederacy. She has been married twice, the first time taking the name of Newsome. After the death of her first husband she married Col. W. H. Trader, com- mander of the Arkansas volunteers in the confederate army. . !'Southern friends of Mrs. Trader . expect soon to begin a movement, to ask patriotic people in Dixie to con- . tribute an amount sufficient to en- Ur, Cor) ough he wouldn’t givear fo this, He also agrees witn ‘late Bro.

That pa- i e is no excuse for the ex- istence of two-thirds of the saloons now operatng in the city of Plant City, and it behooves the better tkinking element of our citizens to hold the city authorities strictly to account for their actions on ordi- nances framed with a view to curb- ing and curtailing the influence of cancerous rum shops.'” BRSO Mexico is pretty near to ‘the brink of the abyss, but we've got more faith in Madero than in any of those other fellows seeking to take his job from him, and believe that country would be better gov- erned under his administiation than uvnder either of the other adventur- ers. He is civilized, educafed and honest and means to do right, anu he has had no fair chance to redeem his promises since he won the pres- idency. A dose of tae iron hand is what those fellows fighting him need most. S e B The Pennsyivania Raiiroad Co.,| one of-the biy systems of America, is preparing to spend $16,000,000 right away on new equipment and other improvements. Those people evi- dently don’t believe that the Wilson | administration is going to hoodoo the business of the country, And we notice that the other big systems are preparing to spend vast sums in bet- terments just as though a Demo- cratic administration hadn’t arrived. The Republican ecry of “Wolf! Wolf!” don’t seem to work this time. PR ARLS el Al Ly Unless there is a shortage in the ; world’s supply of ice, only to be, made up by tapping the inexhausti- | -ble supply at the North and South Poles, we don’t see any good praec- tical end to be served by these polar | exploration parties.
