Some of .those who left a week or two ago write back that white is still Nature’s fashionable drapery up there. What the governor of North Car- olina used to say to the governor of South Carolina, when irrigation conditions were favorable, would hardly go under the present law in the old North State which limits the imbiber to one measly little old quart every two weeks, Not even governors can afford to treat their friends when the stuff is as “skace” as that, e Bro. Jordan, of the Punta Gorda Herald, is making a noble stand in behalf of whiskers on the Florida press and our sympathies are with him, Tom Watson says that the whole world is plunging hellward, and a dewhiskered journalism, de- spising the fine examples and high ideals of our great whiskered edi- tors of the past, may well indicate an accelerated speed in that direc- tion. PREEIEF SR Savannah must look to her laurels. Pensacola has been doing things lately, organizing to utilize her op- portunities, and the Journal of that city says that she now claims to be the leading naval stores center of the world, To the uninitiated it may be well to explain that the phrase, “‘naval stores,” doesn’t mean sailors and marines and big guns and ammunition and grub to feed the crew on, but merely turpentine and rosin, humble though all-powerful commodities. PR N— The editor of the Tarpon Springs Leader speaking of the influence of the Old South in small things, said that he once tried to get five cents worth of chewing tobacco in Ameri- cus, Ga., and was informed that they didn’t sell tobacco in such small portions. The Leader editor also admits that he, himself, even now ‘“‘chucks the coppers which come his way.” So do we, but we chuck 'em in a receptacle for that pur- pose, and in due season they amount to a dollar and that dollqr is just as good as one made of silver or paper. The Old South had some rare and shining virtues and customs—it al- 80 had some faults. —————e There will be a brief but very warm ;, Jittle fight in the lower house ‘of the legislature up at Tal- l.huup next week to elect a speak- er to pluldc over the deliberations of tnl body. Cary Hardee of su'unnpo county and Forrest Lake, of Semjinole county, are the two leading. candidates, and from what we hear: from well-informed sources, the chances are greatly in favor of Hardee. As we have before re- marked, the gentleman from Suw- annee combines with superior abil- ity and general fitness for the of- fice a certain tact and smoothness that are always considered good cards to hold in any kind of game, especially politics. Also he has a habit of getting whatever he goes after. i Even if Perry Wall had gone to Havana to take a little outing and incidentally follow the crowd and look in on a prizefight, it would have been nothing but what most of the rest of us would have done if opportunity had offered. But as he didn't go to see the fight and Joe Reese, of the Orlando Reporter-Star, has handsomely made the amende honorable for %yln[ that ho did under mistaken informatidn, the epi- sode might as well go to the discard as a live issue in senatorial politics. Had Porry gone over expressiy to sea the match it “would have no heinous sin, for a good priz ht or a good doz fight is well worth looking at and in no way disqual- ifies a man from being a zood sen- ator. Perry will have exceptional good luek as a candidate if he can pull through the campaign with no ‘worse charge against him than that he cherished the hope that a white man would do his race and decent people. everywhere a service by re- tiring Jack Johmson to obscurity and he was present to see the job well done. <}-At The Clmrches Tomorrow-4= ;' First Methodist Church— J.
