The Drink Habit i

Pearsons Magazine is responsiblefor the statement that the Americanpeople despite all the things that have

4 been said about them by temperancej and prohibition agitators are only

moderate drinkers as compared withthe rest of the world-

ItI

might have gone on further andsaid that they are becoming more I

moderate in the drink habit everyyear

Forces are at work that are bound i

to make this nation extremely tem-

perate¬ i

in its habitsThe evil of too much alcoholism is j

taught in our schools and no person i

now addicted to the excessive use ofj stimulants can obtain employment 1n I

any of the railway or steamship com-

panies¬

of the country He can findI employment in no express company l

IIn no dry goods establishment of anysize or in other private or business

L 1corporation and any lawyer or doc ¬

tor addicted to this habit every year I

finds his practice steadily slippingaway from him so in a little while j

the mere force of circumstances will I

compel cur American people to be¬

come temperate In their habits-If friends willour prohibitionist

I

just have patience this evil like agreat many others will take care ofitself

Dr Hoke Smith and His Platform

1

r With her hallowed traditions bril ¬

liant achievements and glorious mem-

ories¬

it seems passing strange thatany man in this day can seriously con-

sider¬

the south in danger of negrodomination and control yet this is theplatform on which Dr Hoke Smith

tj eeks to become governor of Georgiat We are so remote from the war per-

iod¬ 1

that such a platform seems soout of harmony with the condition ofthings it sounds like a reflection andan arraignment of the intelligence ofthe white people of the empire stateof the south

Having served in the presidents5 cabinet and gained a national reputa-

tion¬

1 Dr Hoke Smith ought to be moreof the staesman and less of the poli-tician

¬

than to use the negro in thisyear of grace nineteen hundred andfive as a blind on which to ride intooffice

GOVERNOR BROWARDS INDICT ¬

MENT-

Ed True Democrat Thera Is awhole Coxy regiment of us verdantvoters ruminating and cogitating farinto the seven nights of the week onGovernor Browards indictment afFlorida newspaper Iscariots

And intruding its way even intoour dreams comes the wish that ourworthy chief executive had specified

I rather more as to the numbe andhabitat of the degenerate scribes whoturn space into lucre with smilingalarcity and thank God for the oppor ¬

tunity sentiment thrown inOf course we realize that such con¬

verting of principle into a meat andbread tranaction not to speak of thedirect insult to sentiment oaTc forcaustic rebuke therefore we utter aprofound amen

A SENSATION IN VOLUSIA

Govenor Broward recently removed-Mr J W Perkins from the office ofsolicitor of the criminal court of Volusia county and appointed a Mr JHall Brumsey in his stead and here-is what followed-

We quote from the DeLand Record-J Hall Brumsey was arrested last

Tuesday morning upon a warrantsworn out before county judge McCrory by a man by the name ofSmith who keeps a hotel at Daytona-

It is alleged that some time agoBrumsey put up at Smiths hotel andin settling his bill drew a check forthe amount and more too the hotelman paying Brumsey the differenceThe check Smith charges was turn¬

ed down by the bank here and it wentback to the hotel man Under thestatute of 1905 obtaining money goods-or valuables upon a check withoutfunds in bank is a felony with pun ¬

ishment upon conviction not exceed ¬

ing ten years in the state penitentiar-yor fine not exceeding 3000 or both-at the discretion of the court Thepreliminary hearing will be beforecounty judge McCrory and if Brumsey-is held for trial before the criminalcourt the court will have to appoint-a lawyer to prosecute the case asBrumsey by recent appointment ofGovernor Broward is the prosecutingattorney of the court

Mr Brumsey has retained LandisFish and CoL Frank W Pope to de¬

fend him when the case comes up

FINE CRYSTALIZED TROPICALFRUITS-

One of the most lucious confections-that is manufactured Is crystalizedtropical fruits and is being manufac¬

I tured to a considerable extent In Mi-

ami The Cubans have long made apractice of crystallzing these fruitsand they are the most popular andhealthful of all confections manufac-tured

¬

During the past few years sev ¬

eral people in Miami have been exper ¬

imenting in crystallizing fruits andare meeting with great success Amongthose who are putting up a superiorquality of these goods for the trade isMrs Felicia Barrett For severalyears she has been making careful ex¬

periments and at last has solved theproblem so that her fruits will keepindefinitely in any climate The writ-er

¬

took with him several packages onhis trip north exhibited them at manyfairs and there was but one verdictIThey are the most delicious confec ¬

I

tion I eve tasted To test the keep ¬

ing quality of the goods vre kept onepackage and opening it on our returnWe found the fruit in perfect condi ¬

tion and some of the varieties had im ¬

proved with age Mrs Barrett tookthe sample home and left it in an openwindow to see if when exposed to thenight air it would gather dampnessFor two nights it was left in an openwindow within 50 feet of the Miamiriver without gathering a sign ofmoisture Now it Is evident that thesecrystallized fruits will keep perfect-ly

in any climate and when they be-come

¬

I known to the genera publicthey win take the place of confections-that are manufactured from sugarcornstarch and other ingredients-

The crystallized fruits put up byMrs Barrett are perfectly pure therebeing no acids or other injurious mat ¬

ter uted in their manufacture Amongthe fruits used for crystallization arethe lemon lime orange grapefruitkumquats maumee apple and guavain 3eed almost every tropical fruitgrown is used in the manufacture ofthese delicious confectionsEast-Coast Homeseeker

Growth of Cities Measured by PostalRevenues-

An excellent index of the progressof a city is to be found in the busi ¬

ness of its postoffice According to thelast report of the auditor of the Postoffice department the important officesshow gross receipts for the fiscal yearending June 30 1905 as followsJacksonville 157959Tampa 65901Pensacola 42635St Augustine 27450Miami 16737eo eo eo

AFTER THE GOVERNOR

Several newspapers of the state arelambasting Gov Broward because ofhis attack on the newspapers in hisarticle In the Florida Sun in defense-of the Pardoning Board Unless thegovernor knows what he is talkingabout and is able to produce evidenceto substantiate his statements he hasmade a bad break and one which hewill have some difficulty in dodging-If he is prepared to prove that thereare papers in Florida whose openions-are for sale or whose opinions havebeen bought then he should makethem know this much As the matterstands now suspicion would natural-ly

¬

fall on those papers that supported-Mr Broward in the last campaign Ifthe governor bought the support ofany newspapers during the last campaign he should designate them and ifhe didnt and knows of any that werebought by his opponents then heshould make them known

An editor who will sell his editor-ial

¬

opinion is a dangerous individual-in a community He is far worsethan the man who will sell his vote

I and should not be allowed to go unlabeled A common liar is a gentle ¬

J

man compared with such individuals-We

i

know for a fact that Gov Broward has good reaon to believe thatsome of those editors who fought himso energetically in the last campaign

I

were paid to do so but whether he hassufficient evidence to prove thesethings or not we are not advised and-if

I

he has not he certainly should have I

held his peace until such time as hewas sure of his ground

The editor of the Courier was oneof those who supported Mr Broward-in his race for governor and we didit without compensation or hope offuture reward We have never got-ten

anything qr asked for anything atIthe hands of the governor and con-

Florida Fruits are Superiori1i<
