There no doubt of his renomination by a large majority. seems to be Bl Those negro farmers, nearly sev- | enty in number, who sold out their valuable holdings in Suwannee coun ty and left the other day in a body for Africa, are of course headed for deep disappointment and probable disaster. They are doubtlesg the vic- tims of some ‘“slick” member of their race who is making a good thing out of this exodus and has painted the ‘African prospect in such colors to their credulous mindg that they ‘“fell for the without much trouble on his part. We should be heartily glad to know that the whole body of worthless and criminal ne- groes in this country had departed for the lang of their ancestors and woulq be absorbed in African wilds never to return; but these Suwannee county negroes are industrious farm- ers and law-abiding citizens, and it ig distressing to think of the future game" prohably | [real men could stay ang fight. The | world applauded their devotion and | courage anq still applauds—and not | the lesg because they lost. Not a vet- |eran among all the thousands in | Jacksonville today but is loyal to the ;ruunilod nation anq its flag, but he ’\Vould be less than a manly man and unfit for the citizenship he enjoys were he disloyal to the dear ang sa- | ecred memories of those terrible years |of war when he fought and bled and | starved and saw his comrades die by 9| thousands on glorious fields of both victory and defeat, anq all the people of his section making sacri- fices and enduring privations and | sorrows not often if ever paralleled in modern times. Thank Gog that those grim and lawful days are but fading memories, and that innumerable ties, political, commereial, social and sentimental {now cement the nation into a solid ang enduring whole; but the dear old fellows who made the material for such great pages in our history |in their young manhood at the call of conscience ang duty will be prec- ious to us as long ag one remains |alive and they are entitled to the unchanging love and honor of the Southern people. We are glag there are so many left to come together in comradeship up in Jacksonville, and hearten each other as they tell again the oft-told tale of what thr‘y saw and diq dur- ing the progress of the vast tragedy which Almighty God ordained; and if patriotism means the love of na tive land and willingness to die in its behalf, they who lost in the war between the States were equally pa- triots with those who won. 0- HASKELL NEWS NOTES Mrs. Hurn and Mrs. Wilsen spent Tuesday in Lakelang shopping.

They come Together now, ag in all previous reunions, from motives that are purely sentimental and in which there is no sordid or unworthy strain, no cohesive power of per- sona]l gain, no purpose to perpetuate the venomous hates of war; and the man who woulg grudge them the right to do so carries more cant on his lips than patryotism in his heart and is less worthy than the least of them to be an American citizen. Educated, as their fathers were, to that interpretation of the consti- tution which made the Unjon a vol- untary compact of Stateg to be dis golved when any member of the com- pact thought the cause sufficient, they went to war with no doubt of the justice of their contention and they fought out the issue manfully on dreadful battlefields where only drew and Preston Chatman, Mrs. Tom Crews being the chaperon.
