The time for contestants to get busy, is now, for there is no time to lose. “Special Offer Number Four” On all payments of accounts at the stores giving Majestic Theatre vote coupons, we will allow 10,000 extra votes on each dollar paid. These acounts must be at least one week old or no extra votes will be for $1.00 per year. Broward was once a name to con. Jure with in Florida, Montcalm Broward, of that city, brother of the late Governor Brow. ard, as a candidate for governor. The State says he has all the big, strong qualities of his brother and lacks only the opportunity to be as great. Perhaps so, but one great man in a family is generaly the limit fixed by both nature and cir. cumstances. Pastor R 11 is booked for a sermon in Pensacola on “The Battle of Armedgeddon.” That's a fine theme for the imaginative faculties and will enable the pastor to gallop all through the flelds of fancy and turid speculation without any of the restrictions of cold facts to shut him up short. We have been read. | ing and hearing about Armageddon for a long, long time, but the wide diversity of opinion among experts as to where and when that eonfllctl will be pulled off has taken the thrills out of the subject. and The State, up in Jacksonville, brings out the press which some of the state papers seem to fear that Senator Fletcher is about to mutilate, ampu. tate and dessicate under his ruthless foot. But at least we can take the buzzard seriously on sanitary grounds, whereas the other is merely a ojke played up by a bunch of un. eonscious humorists. With the Lakeland Telegram pull. ing for Jess Willard to win and the Qcala Star hoping Jack Johnson will remain the champion, the place for our money is in our pocket, until we learn which paper really has the most influence.—Daytona Journal. The audience will now preserve perfect ‘silence while Professor Ben. jamin skins Editor Sparkman alive. Benjamin perhaps has his faults, but we cannot conceive of him in the attitudge of a booster and rooter for Jack Johnson in the coming contest for racial supremacy in Havana. ailowed.
